When Chu Zhongtian intercepted the football, Quaresma quickly gave up the defense and turned to the attack, he rushed forward at high speed along the sideline, these months of contact, let him know Chu Zhongtian's habits, Hoffenheim's counterattack is always launched from the middle, but the first time to hit the side.

He guessed correctly, although Chu Zhongtian's pass seemed to be a bit big, if it was analyzed calmly, this passing route was the best, and only in this way could the pass avoid all the obstacles in the passing route - this was confirmed at the time. After Chu Zhongtian's pass, AC Milan player Abate, who was on the passing route, once stretched out his foot and wanted to keep the football, but the football crossed in front of his toes.

In order to avoid possible interceptions and obstacles, Chu Zhongtian had to pass the ball wider, he believed in the ability of his teammates, especially Quaresma, he knew that if the ball was chased by Quaresma, he would definitely be able to catch up. Nearly half a season has passed, and Chu Zhongtian has gone from not knowing Quaresma to the point of complete trust in him at the beginning.

Sure enough, Quaresma hooked the ball back a second before it went out of bounds, before it was completely out of bounds, to be exact. Two-thirds of the soccer ball is actually out of bounds, but the newly revised regulations change the criteria for out of bounds and goals to "the overall line of the ball", so the ball is not out of bounds.

Originally next to AC Milan player Thiago. Silva, who sensed that the ball was out of bounds, raised his hand to signal that it was out of bounds, but Quaresma ignored him, picked up the ball, and led it along the sideline.

Thiago. Seeing that the referee and the linesman did not say anything, Silva immediately turned around and chased back, he did not force it immediately, but stuck on the inside, as long as Quaresma dared to change the line and cut inside, he immediately destroyed the football while he was slowing down!

At the same time, the rest of the AC Milan defenders are also rushing back to the defence. It is true that AC Milan reacted quite quickly in the face of such an unexpected situation, and experience played an important role in such a critical moment!

Thiago. Silva pressed Quaresma, it was okay to dribble the ball on the wing, but he was not allowed to cut inside, and at the same time, Nesta and Boateng quickly made up the middle to prevent Quaresma's cross from the side, you must know that at this time Ibishevic and Ruud van Nistelrooy were sprinting towards the AC Milan penalty area. Hoffenheim's forwards account for more than half of the team's goals, and their threat should not be underestimated.

Zambrotta chased after Quaresma, who was getting older, but he was always faster without the ball than with the ball, and the distance between the two was shortening. Abate, who had almost intercepted the football just now, was also unwilling, jumped up from the ground, and chased after Quaresma's back.

In addition to them, almost all AC Milan players are in defence.

Like the tide, when they laid siege to Hoffenheim, it was a raging tide after wave, but at this time it was low tide, and the water was completely drained in a very short time.

The tide is low here, and the tide is naturally going to rise there.

Hoffenheim's pursuers followed AC Milan's ass and chased after Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Quaresma, and rushed out first, completely ignoring Pirlo, who came up to stop him. Pirlo wanted to break the ball at first, but later saw that Chu Zhongtian had already passed the football out, and at the same time there was a tendency to run forward, so he planned to use a tactical foul to directly put Chu Zhongtian down. Unexpectedly, as if Chu Zhongtian knew what he was going to do in advance, he flashed past him with a slight move.

After shaking off Pirlo, Chu Zhongtian accelerated and rushed forward.

He wasn't alone, two strikers, a full-back Salihovic and even Sana rushed up. The two other full-backs, Srna and Kolarov, also drove towards AC Milan's half like tanks at full speed.

This is Hoffenheim's most common way of attacking quickly, and once attacked, everyone but the centre-backs had to stay at the back.

It's a bit of an all-out attack in Dutch football, but it's not, it's just something similar. If they really attack and defend all the time, Hoffenheim will be invincible, but it is clear that Hoffenheim is not invincible yet.

Ibisevic and Ruud van Nistelrooy were desperately pushing forward, and they played a role in Rangnick's tactics to draw the attention of all the opposition's defence, which would have been completely ineffective if they had been slow.

Hoffenheim's attack instantly pushed past the halfway line, Ibisevic and Van Nistelrooy, and Quaresma with the ball rushed to the front, followed by Chu Zhongtian, but the distance was not very close, Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic in front of him were about twenty-five meters away.

This distance would ensure that he would not go unnoticed by AC Milan's experienced centre-backs and would not cause alarm among the AC Milan midfielders.

Although it seems to be sprinting with all his might, in fact, Chu Zhongtian has been adjusting his running rhythm, and the time for the real sprint has not yet come.

Quaresma scurried down the flanks with the ball, without an AC Milan defender in front of him, flanked by a Thiago who was slowly approaching. Silva, he knows it's meant to limit his range to the wings, but that's fine. There is no one in front of you, which means that you don't have to focus on the front and have time to care about the situation in the middle of the pitch. He looked up into the middle.

Thiago. Silva noticed his move and knew he was about to cross as soon as he looked down the middle. Hurry up and step forward to stop Quaresma's cross.

Quaresma did make a move to cross with his right foot, but he didn't get the ball out, his right foot crossed over the ball, followed by a step forward with his left foot, a stop! Swing back with your right foot and gently slam the soccer ball behind you inward...... Thiago. Silva has been defending Quaresma's crosses, and he didn't think that Quaresma would break through, but the defensive priority of crosses is higher than the breakthrough under such a request, so this time he was shaken by Quaresma, and it was complete.

The heel of his right foot knocked the ball past and Quaresma adjusted his center of gravity, his left foot supporting his body to turn, and his hands pulled Thiago. Silva, flashed from behind him!

"Breakthrough! Pretty! ”

The narrator shouted.

Breakthrough Thiago. Silva's Quaresma didn't continue to break through, as in front of him were Zambrotta and Abate, who had already returned to the defence, and behind him was Thiago, who turned around and still bit him. Silva.

Again, he made the move to cross with his right foot. This time no one came up to block his shot, neither Zambrotta nor Abate were too far away from him to take a step or two, so it was better to participate in the defense in the penalty area. So Zambrotta and Abate's reaction was not to step forward, but to retreat, along with Nesta and Boateng, who made a temporary cameo at centre-back, and Ambrosini who made up for the middle.

They all shrank into the middle of the box, targeting Ibisevic and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had already entered the box.

The two Hoffenheim strikers had already crossed the line of the penalty area and into the box when Quaresma's first cross was about to be made. Now with their second cross, they were close to the penalty spot.

In order to defend them, AC Milan's entire backline followed them back to the penalty spot, all in their own penalty area, and no one defended at the edge of the box. Pirlo also retreated, he was the second line, but he was facing the goal, which meant that he was facing away from the Hoffenheim player, and once a Hoffenheim player got the ball at the edge of the box, he had to turn around to defend it, which was slow instead of one or two beats.

Nesta, Boateng, Zambrotta, Abate, Ambrosini. Five people defend two people, no problem, right?

That's a big problem!

Quares got his right foot and really hit the football this time, but instead of passing into the penalty area, he didn't swing the ball backwards, but twisted his left foot to support his body, turned to the middle of the front of the penalty area, and he used the outside of his right foot to cut the football horizontally to the middle!

※※※ Just over Quaresma shook Thiago. When Silva leaned towards the middle, Chu Zhongtian suddenly picked up speed and sprinted at full speed towards AC Milan's penalty area!

The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came. Hoffenheim's two weeks of preparation was waiting for this moment, although there were as many as seven people in the forbidden area, but in Chu Zhongtian's opinion, it was just a layer of window paper, which could be pierced with his hand.

Quaresma turned around just in time to see Chu Zhongtian appear in his field of vision, and he directly passed the football over!

With football, everyone was horrified to find that the real threat of Hoffenheim was not Ibisevic, who scored 12 goals in 15 league games, nor the experienced Ruud van Nistelrooy, but Chu Zhongtian!

This is not a league, there is no point in analyzing league data, this is the Champions League, it depends on the threat in the Champions League, and Chu Zhongtian has scored four goals in this Champions League! He's Hoffenheim's number one killer in the Champions League!

Nesta and other defenders were firmly suppressed in the penalty area by Ibisevic and Van Nistelrooy, and now they are quite far away from Chu Zhongtian, and they can't catch up for a while. Pirlo was not far from Chu Zhongtian, but he had to turn around first, and then go to Chu Zhongtian. The 31-year-old Pirlo is no longer the 23-year-old Pirlo, he is not as explosive as before, and he has to make a sharp stop in the middle of a high-speed run to complete this turn, and there are not a few seconds to play. And these few seconds in such a threatening area are enough for Chu Zhongtian to shoot with his feet.

It stands to reason that even if Pirlo is too late, there should be an AC Milan midfielder next to him to assist in the defense, so that the defense has level and depth, so as not to let the opponent penetrate it at the first time. But at this point, you don't see any other AC Milan players around Pirlo. Who is the person who should be in this position?

It's Seedorf, Seedorf at this time has just run to the middle line, far away from Chu Zhongtian.

Quaresma's football is passed, because it is cut with the outside instep, so the ball itself is spinning rapidly, this ball is difficult to hold steadily, if only as a general ball to catch, I am afraid that the football will eventually pop away, this fast attack will be wasted.

This is the only opportunity that AC Milan can take advantage of.

But Chu Zhongtian didn't plan to stop the football, he looked up at the goal in the distance, and then locked his eyes on the football, the football flew over in an arc, not in a straight line. He began to adjust his pace, his speed slowed down from the full speed sprint, and he began to adjust his stride in small steps, which was a precursor to a direct shot!

These images take a lot of time to write, but in reality they are a split second on the pitch. From the time it was discovered that Quaresma's purpose was not to pass the football into the penalty area, but to pass it horizontally to Chu Zhongtian who was inserted in front of the penalty area, it only took a second for Chu Zhongtian to stride in front of the football.

The football from Quaresma had an external rotation arc, turning towards Chu Zhongtian first, and then away from him. Chu Zhongtian picked up a kick just when the football reached the outermost end of the arc and hit the football!

Pass the ball with the outside instep, volley with the outside instep. The rotating ball is exerted another force in the direction of its rotation, which is faster and has a greater arc.

In the eyes of goalkeeper Abbiati, the football went to the corner flag as soon as it was kicked, but despite this, he did not dare to slack off, or because his body reacted faster than his brain could think, and before his brain could finish thinking, the man had already flown out - he rose in the air, stretched his body in the air as much as he could, and threw himself towards the football.

He did it perfectly, it was a beautiful picture when it was captured, but it didn't help him get on the ball. For some shots, whether or not you score does not depend on the courage of the goalkeeper, but on the luck of the shooter...... Chu Zhongtian's shot drew a very obvious arc in the air, directly bypassing Abbiati's outstretched right hand.

The goalkeeper didn't stop this goal, and the next thing is to see whether Chu Zhongtian's luck is good or not...... His luck today was so good!

After getting around goalkeeper Abbiati in a great arc, the ball spun in quickly and finally flew into the goal by grazing the post!

"The ball is in!!"

“goooooooooooooooooal！！”

"Hoffenheim - Hooray!!" The German commentator couldn't help but stand up from his commentary seat, raise his arms and shout hooray.

"This is the world wave! World Wave! From my country's player Chu Zhongtian! It's so beautiful! Shoot straight to the goal without stopping! With a strong spin, the ball went around Abbiati and eventually flew into the goal! It's so beautiful! This is Chu Zhongtian's fifth Champions League goal of the season! That's amazing! He Ping couldn't help but burst the buzzwords on the Internet.

"In the eighteenth minute, the deadlock was broken, but it was not the home team AC Milan who scored, but the away team Hoffenheim! It was a bit of an incredible, Hoffenheim's third shot went through the AC Milan goal! But their performance in this offensive was convincing! ”

In comparison, the Italian commentators are much more frustrated. This goal conceded means they have to score more goals to qualify, if it is only a 2-1 win, the away goals of both sides are the same as the goal difference against the match, and the goal difference of the group is also compared, Hoffenheim can have the advantage in the group goal difference, so that AC Milan will be eliminated even if they win. They have to score more goals.

"Oh-oh...... Chu's goal pushed Milan to the brink and now scoring two goals is no longer a guarantee that they will be there, they must score at least three goals and keep Hoffenheim from scoring again...... Honestly, looking at how they played in this defense, I doubt ......"

The San Siro Stadium was quiet for a moment as Chu Zhongtian's football flew into the goal, and then there was a huge boo, mixed with the cheers of the Hoffenheim fans. The whole stadium stand is like a pot of boiling water, and there is no sound of anything.

Chu Zhongtian, who scored the goal, watched the football fly into the goal, and he knew that this goal helped the team in a very favorable situation. He didn't run to the stands, or to the corner flag, or to the dugout, to the bench, he just stood there, clenched his fists, pointed to the sky, and was overwhelmed by the rush of excited teammates.

In stark contrast to the excited Hoffenheim players, the frustrated AC Milan players. They tried their best to win Hoffenheim at home, but they didn't expect to concede the goal first after a long day of siege...... Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for was that they conceded so early, they still had plenty of time to equalise, to score more goals and to pull off miracles.

Gattuso didn't play in this game, he sat on the bench, and when he saw that the team had conceded the ball in the 18th minute, he looked more anxious than head coach Allegri, rushed straight to the sidelines, and yelled at his teammates inside.

'There's nothing worse for AC Milan than now, they've been cornered. But they are giants after all, and they have a lot of experience to deal with such situations...... It is not known if they will be able to burst out of extraordinary energy in the subsequent matches. This is at the San Siro, and if they lose this season's Champions League at this stadium and are eliminated in the group stage, it would be unthinkable! ”

Don't think that the narrator is alarmist, every word he says is the truth. Being eliminated from the group at their own home stadium is definitely unacceptable to San Siro fans.

Previously, AC Milan fans were still laughing at Bestes' Inter Milan being beaten three holes in Bremen's home stadium, but they finally qualified from the group. If their team fails to qualify from the group, they will be ridiculed by the Inter fans.

Such a thing, they absolutely do not allow!

For a moment, the boos were gone, "Forward, Milan!" The shouts swept through the entire San Siro stands, and the century-old giant AC Milan was enraged by Chu Zhongtian's kick.

No one can go wild at the hallowed San Siro Stadium, not Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, not Hoffenheim!
