The match against AC Milan is over, but the aftermath is not over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hoffenheim's home win over AC Milan was almost unexpected, and the aging AC Milan were powerless against a fast and impactful Hoffenheim. It also made many people feel pitiful when they saw it.

Why did the giant team that once won seven European championships fall here?

The Hoffenheim team was widely sought after by the media.

Both Srna and Ibisevic, who scored goals, were frequently featured in the media. Chu Zhongtian is the focus of the spotlight, the star of the stars.

After the game, the media throughout Europe spoke highly of Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game.

"Milan Sports Daily" even wrote an article saying that if AC Milan wants to revive, it must take Chu Zhongtian.

Obviously, Chu Zhongtian's performance also conquered the enemy's media.

As for how he is touted in China, there is no need to describe it in detail for a long time.

All in all, after this game, everyone except the AC Milan fans in Italy and China was happy.

A win over AC Milan made Hoffenheim's group qualification suddenly brighter, and they still have hope of qualifying even if they lose away to AC Milan.

And the victory in this game made Hoffenheim fans look forward to Real Madrid's away game against Hoffenheim. If we can beat AC Milan here, why can't we beat Real Madrid in the same place? We only lost one goal in their midwifery!

After playing the match against AC Milan, Chu Zhongtian received a phone call from Wimbledon, London, England, telling him that Wimbledon Athletic Club had received his latest membership fee, worth half a million pounds, and the club thanked him for his generosity.

In China, Yang Yang took advantage of the news boom of Hoffenheim's victory over AC Milan to hype up a movie invested by Chu Zhongtian to audition for the actor in China. Now the whole of China knows about it, this movie is shot by Chu Zhongtian, the only idol of Chinese football, and the actor is not a student of a film school who has received professional training, nor is he a big-name star who has become famous, but is selected from all over China by playing football.

Chu Zhongtian has two major events in China, in addition to movies, the construction of Sichuan Quanxing is also in orbit. Xu Xiaodi has published a job advertisement in influential newspapers across the country, and the content of the advertisement is very simple - on a full-page close-up photo of turf, it is the following sentence: We are determined to be the most different football club in China, starting from the bottom, if you still have ideas about Chinese football and are an idealist, please call 028-xxxxxxxx.

These things belong to Chu Zhongtian's football life, his identity is still a professional player first, so playing football is his job.

On October 2, the day after China's National Day, Hoffenheim will travel to take on current league leaders Mainz.

The two teams are only two points apart, Hoffenheim and Mainz are both unbeaten, but Hoffenheim have a draw, Mainz have won all, and among the teams they have won are also the big brother of the Bundesliga such as Bayern Munich, just in the last round of the league, Bayern Munich lost 1-2 to Mainz at their home stadium, this is their second defeat after losing to Hoffenheim, two consecutive defeats.

This match with Hoffenheim can be regarded as a game where whoever wins will be the boss.

Neither Hoffenheim nor Mainz will let go of their opponents easily.

The match was also considered by the German media to be "the most grassroots battle for the top of the league". Previous battles for the top of the league have been between big clubs, and Bayern Munich has always been one of the protagonists. But this time, there is no Bayern Munich, no Schalke 04, no Borussia Dortmund, no Bayer Leverkusen, no Hamburg, no Stuttgart. They are two small teams that have been playing in the lower leagues for previous seasons.

"This race for the top of the table may mean that the order of our league is changing, and those small teams that were previously unremarkable are becoming more ambitious and demanding under Hoffenheim's example. I think that's a good thing, because if a league is dominated by just one or two teams, the league will slowly lose its competitiveness. Mainz are following Hoffenheim's old path, and their six-game winning streak at the start of the season has been terrifying! Hoffenheim, on the other hand, has set their sights on the Champions League, losing 2:3 to Real Madrid in the Champions League and winning 2:1 at home to AC Milan have given us hope, and the emerging power of German football is rising! ”

The media have found meaning in this battle for the top spot in the Bundesliga.

In their mouths, the rise of Mainz is a good thing, but for Hoffenheim, they don't want to use their own failures to fulfill Mainz, and they obviously don't think about what Mainz means. They just want to win every game they play, and unfortunately, they play against Mainz.

The battle for the top spot in the league with Mainz has attracted a lot of media attention - because it means one thing or another. However, the performance of the two teams was very polite, unlike the first meeting between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich, where the war of words began two weeks ago.

Ahead of this match, there hasn't been any war of words between the two teams. Rangnick praised Mainz's achievements so far and expressed hope that the team that performed well in the tournament will win.

Mainz manager Thomas Tuchel also expressed respect for Hoffenheim, saying that Hoffenheim's past is Mainz's future goal.

It looked like both teams were polite, but the game itself was very intense and exciting.

In the 90 minutes of play, the two sides scored a total of six goals.

Just two minutes into the game, Mainz's striker Araj opened the scoring for his team to give Mainz a 1-0 lead.

Hoffenheim is in a dire crisis.

In the match against AC Milan, they scored a goal in the opening two minutes, and as a result, AC Milan did not recover from the whole game.

Is it their turn to taste what it was like to be stunned by their opponents at the beginning?

If Hoffenheim had surrendered so easily, they would not have been the team to play in the Champions League.

In the 31st minute, Obasi equalized for the team, and the person who assisted him was Chu Zhongtian.

The first half ended in a 1-1 draw.

In the second half, the two teams still insisted on attacking football and fought against each other.

In the 47th minute, Mainz's striker Szale scored the second goal for Mainz to give Mainz the lead again.

At the top of the league, Mainz is not just a matter of luck. Their attacking football in the game is indeed a bit of a shadow of Hoffenheim, indomitable and extraordinary.

However, they are not facing teams like Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, nor Bayern Munich without Ribery and Robben, but Hoffenheim, who just won AC Milan and is in good form, not to mention that they have an equally in-form Chu Zhongtian in their squad.

In the 59th minute, a long-range shot by Chu Zhongtian was blocked by Mainz's defender Nowitzki. At the beginning, the TV broadcast counted this ball under Chu Zhongtian's account, and the subtitles were Chu Zhongtian's seven goals in seven games. They later revised the result to include an own goal by Nowitzki, who scored one less goal and Nowitzki scored his first goal of the season...... Although there was no goal, this did not affect Chu Zhongtian's excellent performance.

In the 64th minute, Weiss came on as a substitute for Quaresma, and three minutes later, Chu Zhongtian sent a through pass from the edge of the penalty area to assist Weiss to break into the box and score.

This season, due to the ongoing injury attacks and the arrival of Quaresma, Weiss's playing opportunities have been greatly reduced. But being able to score a goal right from the start of the pitch is also very helpful for him to compete for the main position.

With Weiss's goal, Hoffenheim took the lead for the first time at 3:2 away.

Then in the 74th minute, Mainz's goalkeeper Wittkolo pounced on Van Nistelrooy who burst into the penalty area and was about to shoot, and was sentenced to death, and the referee not only gave Hoffenheim a penalty, but also sent Mainz goalkeeper Wittkolo off with a red card!

And before that, the person who passed the ball to Van Nistelrooy and caused him to break through was Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian's influence on Hoffenheim's offensive was everywhere and had permeated everywhere.

Salihovic came up to take the penalty and met Mainz's substitute goalkeeper Martin, who easily slotted the ball into the bottom right corner and the ball rolled into the net, but Martin made the wrong save.

4:2！ With fifteen minutes left on the clock, Hoffenheim had a two-goal lead and had almost sealed the win.

In the end, Hoffenheim also won the battle for the top spot with this score. With the win, Hoffenheim sit at the top of the league table by one point, and are back at the top of the table after losing first place in the fourth round of the league.

Returning to the league standings is a cause for joy, but it's only the first step in a long journey. After all, the league has only started for seven rounds, and even if you are a fool who has been sitting in the first place in the league, you can't represent anything. The league results look at where your team was in the final round, not where you were in the first seven rounds of the league.

On October 17, in the eighth round of the league, Hoffenheim returned to host Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In the last Champions League group game, Hoffenheim's home stadium, the Rhine-Neckar Stadium, was very impressed by the singing and roaring of the fans who did not listen to it for a moment, and Hoffenheim was always very energetic at such a home stadium, they have won over super giants such as Manchester United, Inter Milan and AC Milan, so the Hoffenheim players are always very comfortable with their home atmosphere.

The Rhine-Neckar Stadium has never been deserted since it was built, and it is always full.

Hope doesn't have to worry about Hoffenheim going unattended, and he now has to worry about whether to start the stadium expansion plan now. If that happens, the Rhine-Neckar stadium will probably take the shortest time to go from construction to expansion in world football...... Tickets for Rhein-Neckar are now in short supply every home matchday, and many fans are desperate to buy tickets, and some have even made protest calls to the club because they have not been able to buy tickets.

Expanding the stadium is always a matter of the future, and now it is the Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach match.

Borussia Mönchengladbach was previously ranked 15th, in the lower middle and lower reaches, and there is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams, plus it is playing at home, so everyone is optimistic that Hoffenheim will win their opponents, maintain their winning streak, and continue to sit first in the league.

Considering the lack of quality of the opponents and the Champions League group stage next week, Rangnick opted for rotation.

If the match against AC Milan can be accepted with gritted teeth if it is drawn, then the two games against Auxerre, even if it is a draw, must not be allowed, and it is a real must-win game. Auxerre was the target of Hoffenheim's plan to score points.

Against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Rangnick replaced Quaresma with Weiss, who had scored in the previous round of the Bundesliga, and replaced Salihovic with Khlossek, while Chu Zhongtian and Gago were paired in midfield, while Sana was given a rest. Up front, Ruud van Nissterooy and Obasi are two, in central defence are Comper and Metzelde, and at wing-backs are Baker and Pogatts.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, for their part, fielded the strongest squad they could to take on Hoffenheim.

Despite this, they lost the game without any suspense.

From the first minute, the game fell into the rhythm that Hoffenheim was accustomed to - fast!

In this kind of fast football, Borussia Mönchengladbach simply can't react.

Hoffenheim's passing speed is now completely at Champions League level, and in the Bundesliga, which is generally ten to fifteen percentage points slower than the Champions League, they are in a league of one's own, so it's no wonder Borussia Mönchengladbach can't keep up.

Hoffenheim didn't score in the first half, but they were in complete control. Borussia Mönchengladbach were defenseless and had just one shot on goal in the entire first half, failing to shoot within the woodwork.

Hoffenheim had a lot of 11 shots on goal in the first half.

Just a minute into the second half, Hoffenheim scored a goal from Obasi to give his team the lead.

Then, in the 62nd minute, Borussia Mönchengladbach's striker Juan Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Juan Borussia Mönchengladbach Arango was sent off for a flying tackle on Gago in midfield.

Gago also suffered a bit of an injury, and after being carried down for some treatment, Rangnick didn't let him play as a safe side, replacing him with Zucullini. The young Zucurini finally got his chance to play in the new season.

Borussia Mönchengladbach with one man less is even more difficult against Hoffenheim, the kind of football that makes it difficult to get even eleven of you on the pitch, and once you have one man less, you can immediately feel the numerical disadvantage. Coupled with the fact that Hoffenheim, who has Chu Zhongtian, has always been ridiculed by the media as "always one more person than his opponent", the gap in numbers is even greater.

The disadvantage of having one less person soon became apparent. Just five minutes after Arango was sent off, in the 67th minute, Chu Zhongtian organized an attack, Weiss crossed, and Van Nistelrooy outflanked the goal in front of the goal and scored a goal. Hoffenheim lead Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0.

With one man less, still playing away from home, and now two goals down, the game has ended early for Borussia Mönchengladbach's players, and then it became garbage time.

But Hoffenheim's pursuit of goals didn't stop there, and they continued to launch wave after wave of attacks in the tradition of scoring as much as they could.

In the 82nd minute, Salihovic scored the team's third goal with a direct free kick opportunity to lock the score at 3:0! And this free kick was caused by Chu Zhongtian being kicked to the ground by Borussia Mönchengladbach's defender Schachten when he broke through at the edge of the penalty area, and Schachten also received a red card for this bad foul, becoming the second Mönchengladbach player to be sent off in this game.

With two men missing, Borussia Mönchengladbach's players had no intention of playing for the last ten minutes, hoping for an early end to the game. The Hoffenheim fans had already started celebrating the victory, while the Borussia Mönchengladbach fans had left the stadium early and were out by the end of five minutes, with just over 25,000 Hoffenheim fans singing the Hoffenheim anthem in the huge stands.

Hoffenheim had a clear advantage in this game, with as many as 27 shots on goal in the whole game, while Borussia Mönchengladbach had only six shots, and Hoffenheim had 69 per cent possession.

Hoffenheim beat Borussia Mönchengladbach to make it four wins in a row and after eight league games, they are the only team not to lose. It is currently at the top of the league table.

Their previous rivals, Mainz, seemed to have been affected by the defeat to Hoffenheim, who lost 1-0 to Hamburg in this round, widening the gap between the two teams and strengthening Hoffenheim's league topspot.

After the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hoffenheim will move on to the Champions League with the best mood of the league.

On 19 October, Hoffenheim host their third Champions League group stage opponent, Ligue 1 youth team AJJ Auxerre.

This will also be the first meeting between Chu Zhongtian and his mentor Fernandez. Because Auxerre went directly to Auxerre after coming out of Metz, in this team to pick up the class of France's legendary coach Guyrous, and lead the young Euroserre to qualify for the Champions League, which can be regarded as not disappointing Guyrous.

In the first two rounds of the group stage, Al Sell lost to AC Milan and Real Madrid, and if they lose this game, they will basically lose their hope of qualifying from the group.

But as a player trained by Fernandes, Chu Zhongtian will personally bury Auxerre's hopes of qualifying...... I can't say whether it's warmth or cruelty, but the reunion of the two must have made them feel a lot of emotion.

The master and apprentice are reunited, but they must be divided into winners and losers.
