The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Udinese's first counterattack caused Hoffenheim to concede a goal, which was already bad news! But they soon saw that Ibisevic, who had just collided with the opposing defender, stood up and walked two steps, and was clutching his ankle in pain and squatting on the ground?

Is this hurting?

The Udinese players, who were still "friendly", were the first to find out, shouting for the referee. Atkinson www.biquge.info saw the scene, and put his hands around and let Hoffenheim's team doctor play.

Ibisevic sprained his ankle and couldn't keep playing!

This is the second bad news!

In the opening ten minutes, Hoffenheim not only conceded a goal, but also lost a main striker?

How to play a game that opens like this?

Of course, there was no better option, so Rangnick had to bring on Obasi to replace the injured Ibisevic.

But Obasi is not better than Ibisevic, although he participated in the Olympic Games, but in terms of state and strength at this stage, Ibisevic is indeed more able to score goals than Obisevich!

Therefore, Hoffenheim after personnel adjustment was not able to open up the situation, on the contrary, affected by a quick counterattack by Udinese just now, Hoffenheim's players played relatively conservatively!

Udinese, on the other hand, were not in a hurry, they were playing more and more composure with a precious away goal in hand, and this dense defensive counter-attacking formation played in a completely denied Hoffenheim a chance.

"De Agostino steals Salihovic's pass." Tom's sigh has become another spectacle of the game, and he can't help but say, "How did the Italians defend so well?" Even De Agostino is coming back to defend? ”

Not only De Agostino, but their only striker, Di Natale, followed the team without care, and that aggressive defensive momentum is not seen in the strikers of many teams!

"The young Udinese team that Marino has cultivated has performed impressively!" When Tom saw the game in a stalemate, he began to chatter, "Twenty-four-year-old goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, twenty-six-year-old Lukovic, twenty-eight-year-old Dominic, twenty-three-year-old Koda, twenty-four-year-old Ferronetti at the back. ”

"Of course, if you say it's not young, look at the midfield, 25-year-old Pepe, 26-year-old De Agostino, 24-year-old Inle, and two 20-year-old Chilean youngsters Isla and Sanchez!"

"Udinese, whose average age is not more than twenty-five years old, looks like Hoffenheim in Italy?" Tom said.

Of course, compared to history, Hoffenheim is far inferior to Udinese. But good at using and developing young players, it seems that Rangnick and Marino are both doing just as well!

Where there is contrast, there will be harm.

Judging from this game, Hoffenheim, a team composed of young people, still has a big gap with Udinese. At Hoffenheim's home stadium, they all beat Hoffenheim extremely uncomfortable!

If you can't attack, you have to be wary of the opponent's counterattack.

In addition to the counterattack that scored, Udinese played several counterattacks that were full of threat! If it weren't for Beta sitting in the backcourt and making up for the defense, they would probably have to open the score!

This made Hoffenheim's attack even more constrained.

……

The two sides were at a stalemate for a long time.

In the 41st minute, after Hoffenheim had been accumulating more than ten minutes, they launched another attack.

This time, in order to be able to open up the situation, Hoffenheim pressed forward at the back, and Comber also intervened to help Salihovic pass the ball.

But no matter how many troops are pressed, Hoffenheim's habitual ground penetration attack is full of flaws in the face of Udinese's dense defense!

Although the large number of Hoffenheim caused confusion in the two lines of Udinese's defense, Udinese did a good job of assisting in the small area.

After Eduardo received a return pass from Obasi, he was forced into a corner by Ferronetti and Sanchez!

"Trouble!" Beta secretly felt that something was wrong, and the ball seemed to be lost, and hurriedly called his teammates to return to defense.

Eduardo was still struggling as he tried to get the ball down Sanchez in exchange for a corner. But Sanchez reacted unusually fast!

He slammed sideways past Eduardo's kick, then kicked his right foot and sprang out to catch up with the ball.

In an instant, Udinese's counterattack came out!

Sanchez's explosiveness is vividly displayed at this moment, a height of more than six meters, he actually moved at high speed with the ball, and Salihovic, who wanted to come over to block, was left behind by him!

This time, though, Sanchez's pass was earlier than before!

He crossed the halfway line and immediately got up and crossed.

It was Pepe who received the ball and cut inside on the left wing! He's already in the Hoffenheim penalty area!

And Hoffenheim's defenders had just settled down, and suddenly two or three people pounced, and the penalty area looked chaotic!

Pepe passed, and he knocked it back to Inle, who was following him!

Beta immediately made a tackle, but he was a little far away this time, and with the "Road Fighter" card not equipped, the tackle failed to intercept Pepe's pass halfway through, and the ball slid in front of him.

The Swiss received the football, he was on the line of the penalty area, just took a step inside, didn't take it much, and immediately pulled out his leg to shoot.

The soccer ball went over the sideburns of the leaping Ibertsberg and grazed through the edge of the door frame.

Ozcan made a save, but he was still one step slower!

……

0:2, Hoffenheim conceded two goals in the first half!

The fans at home fell silent, the battle song was a little unsung, and even some fans couldn't help but start booing Udinese.

Two home goals conceded!

That's a lot of work!

Although Udinese scored two goals, they began to converge, focus on defense, and chase endlessly.

But if this score is maintained until the end of the game, then Hoffenheim will have to exceed the score by at least three points next time they go to Udinese to ensure they advance to the next round......

No, you can't be so passive!

Heading into halftime, Rangnick has been frowning and thinking about what to do.

Marić, who had completely retired and became Rangnick's assistant coach, came up, took a watch, and said to Rangnick: "Boss, look at this data!" ”

Marić said with gusto: "I found out that the height of their defenders, or the height of the entire Udinese team, is under 1.9 meters!" Including the bench, they don't have a decent high point! ”

In fact, the height of the central defender Korda is not bad, 1.88 meters, which is a good high point.

But in front of Hoffenheim, what is the height of 1.88 meters?

Rangnick's eyes lit up: "Beta, you say? ”

Marić laughed: "That's right! I think maybe we can use the same trick we used before, and it can have a good effect! ”
