Chapter 232: The Home of the Devil
The Lord didn't expect the game to turn out like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoBefore the game, everyone analyzed this game as the most optimistic Hoffenheim supporters, thinking that Hoffenheim had the possibility of winning, but they did not expect that they would win so easily. In the seventeenth minute of the first half, it was already annoying.
Even more so than Milan fans. Whether it was at the scene or in front of the TV, the fans looked at this score and did not dare to accept it.
But what's the solution? Hoffenheim's second goal was no problem, and if they could have conceded the first goal and cursed Kolarov for offside, the second goal would have been a clean one.
"It's incredible, it's incredible," the commentators also shook their heads and sighed. "It's only been 17 minutes and Hoffenheim is already in the lead!"
"Ibisevic! He scored his first goal of the season in the Champions League! It's wonderful."
"Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough has disrupted the defense line of several Milans! It was a pretty blitz! Neither Flamini nor Gattuso could stop him. He carried Silva alone. Under Nesta's interference, he still delivered a wonderful assist! It can be said that he won alone. The whole line of defense in Milan! β
"Oooo Ibisevic! Hoffenheim got off to a perfect start, and their fast attack completely restrained the football of Wanmilan, an aging one. Milan was rushed by the young Hoffenheim and couldn't find the north! β
After the goal, Ibisevic ran to Chu Zhongtian. Then hug him and thank him for his assist.
In fact, he was not sure whether Chu Zhongtian would pass the football to him at first, because the current Chu Zhongtian is also very strong in scoring. However, out of the habit of a striker, he still appeared in the position where he should appear, and if Chu Zhongtian wanted to pass the ball, he would not waste this opportunity. Sure enough, Chu Zhongtian divided the football. What he had to do was simple. There wasn't a single one by his side. Milan's defenders. As a striker, you can't score a goal like that. You can die.
Other Hoffenheim players also rushed in. Everyone started the celebration in front of the door of Wangmilan.
The disappointed, frustrated, and even somewhat dazed Milan players became their best foils.
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands sang the Hoffenheim anthem to their heart's content, and everyone got carried away with such a wonderful start. "Before the game, Allegri said that Chu would be the most dangerous player at Hoffenheim, so he would arrange for a special person to mark Chu. But now it seems. His arrangement had no effect at all. In front of Chu's outstanding swing, Gattuso threw his fighting spirit on. But after all, the body is old. And Flamini simply can't keep up with Chu's rhythm."
The Italian commentator was also merciless in his criticism of Milan's poor performance. In his opinion, Bi Milan does have a good group of players. Although a little older. But it wasn't like being overwhelmed by a team like Hoffenheim in the opening 17 minutes, mainly because of Allegri. Allegri lacks experience in the Champions League, which he thinks is the same as the domestic league. But it's actually very different, the Champions League is the Champions League, and the domestic league is the domestic league. There are a lot of coaches who have been thriving in the domestic league, but when it comes to the Champions League, their performances are very unremarkable, which is related to their lack of Champions League experience.
The German commentator was full of praise for Chu Zhongtian's performance: "This is Chu's strength!" He can score goals himself and be an offensive finisher. He can also create opportunities for his teammates and assist them to score, either indirectly or directly. In short, he's a player who makes it hard to freeze! Rangnick's 30 million is really a big bargain. You must know that at that time, many well-known clubs in Europe were interested in Chu! But Chu chose Hoffenheim, the promoted horse. Before the game, "Milan Sports Newspaper" said that Hoffenheim was Chu's one-man team, although it was an exaggeration, but the general meaning was correct. Without Chu, Hoffenheim may still be able to slowly develop into the mainstay of the Bundesliga. But Chu has increased Hoffenheim's exhibition by several orders of magnitude, and now the Hoffen Siren. It's like a rocket from the sky, soaring! β
The television broadcast did not give a close-up of Ibisevic, who scored the goal. Instead, he gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up. It shows that the director of the broadcast also knows the ball a little, not that the person who scores the goal is the most important, but the person who creates opportunities for his teammates before scoring is even better.
After the Hoffenheim fans finished singing the team anthem, they began to sing the song composed for Chu Zhongtian. This is a new work, and everyone used to express their love for Chu just shouting his name loudly.
Chu Zhongtian has his own songs at Wimbledon, Metz and now at Hoffenheim. What's the matter, the season has passed, and he has enjoyed such treatment.
"Charge, Chu! You are unbeatable! Full field flyboarding. You're invincible! You are the truth, on the court, let the opponent salute you. Enthrone it! The world is in your hands!! "Thanks to Sina Weibo netizens" The hell of the egg. Chinese and English lyrics are available, thank you!
The song first sounded in the stands of KΓΆnelia's Hoffenheim Supporters' Club, where Cornelia and the others worked, because the melody was simple and the lyrics were catchy. It was easy to understand, so it spread quickly, and it rang out throughout the small court.
This song was made by Cornelia and them for Chu Zhongtian. It is used to express their love for Chu Zhongtian, and they have had such thoughts before. But because I can't always find the right tune and lyrics. It dragged on and on. The better Hoffenheim's performance this season, the better Chu Zhongtian's performance as the leader of the team is naturally very good. Everyone's desire to write songs for Chu Zhongtian is getting stronger and stronger.
Now, the "Song of Chu" is finally out. The first time the song was sung, it resounded throughout the audience. Here comes a full house! β¦
When the game restarted, the hymns sung for Chu could still be heard clearly.
Chu Zhongtian used the time to celebrate the goal to constantly remind his excited teammates that the game had just begun, and now was not the time to celebrate. Two pounds ahead. When the ball is against a team of the level of Wang Milan, it is really not a big advantage. To win the race, you have to keep that lead until the end. So now is not the time to slacken, if you want to win, just keep playing like this!
So after the start of the game, Milan now they are facing Hoffenheim has not changed in the slightest, there is no relaxation because of the two-goal lead, and there is no situation where the forwards want to attack, the defenders want to defend, and the front and back are disjointed. They were still facing the same tight press in the field, from. Milan began to defend aggressively Hoffenheim in the penalty area.
Such football lets. Milan's players were uncomfortable, and once Hoffenheim had the ball, they counter-attacked on the spot, leaving the aging Milan to follow them, running from side to side, from front to back, completely resting. For the rest of the first half, it was always like that.
Bimilan wanted to organise an attack, but was always interfered with by Hoffenheim. It's finally organized, and the strikers are wasted again. Robinho and Ibrahimovic couldn't touch the ball in front of them, and the two had to take turns dropping back, but to little effect. Chu Zhongtian led Hoffenheim's midfield to cleverly cut off the connection between Milan's midfielders and forwards...... Milan's midfield brain, Andrea Pirlo, was also mediocre in this game due to the lack of Seedorf's support. Seedorf's performance can be described as sleepwalking.
Until the end of the first half, the score was not changed. Hoffenheim played the praises of Milan and the first-half statistics also showed that the home team had an all-round advantage with 11 shots on goal, while Vengani had only four shots and none of them were on target, while Hoffenheim had four shots on target. Possession time was 56 per cent ahead of Milan's 44 per cent over Hoffenheim.
'The players from Milan finally waited for the break and wanted to be in the dressing room. Their head coach was able to make some adjustments to this terrible situation
This intermission is for. It was a real relief for the Milan players, who wanted to take a fifteen-minute break to calm down and think. Why did the first half turn out like this?
And if he could, Chu Zhongtian hoped that this game would continue to be played like this, and he would not rest until the end of the game.
But that's how the rules of football are arranged, and he has to follow them.
Back in the dressing room, Rangnick praised the team's performance, but instead of praising it, he told everyone: "I only praise you for your performance in the first half, but it doesn't mean that you can forget about Istanbul in the second half." In that Champions League final, Milan won 3 in the first half. The Wang Milan players, who had taken the lead over Liverpool and returned to the dressing room, began to celebrate. Their voices were so loud that they even pierced the walls; Let the Liverpool players hear it, so the whole world knows what happened in the second half. Do you want to be the laughing stock of the whole world? β
"Nobody wants to!" Everyone replied.
"So the second half has to be played like the first! Don't celebrate until the final whistle! β
Tactically opposed, Rangnick has nothing to adjust. The team just needs to keep playing like this.
But in the next dressing room, Allegri couldn't have been more relaxed, disappointed with his team's performance, but he didn't lash out at his players. In the locker room, he is not a coach who has much authority, and the players here are all bigger names than him, so he has always kept a low profile.
But in the face of such a predicament, he must do something, right?
He cleared his throat and motioned for everyone to be quiet and listen to him.
It took a while for the players who had been talking about the first half to quiet down, some looking at the manager, others simply keeping their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Well, our first half performance was a bit terrible. Allegri said that while he was paying attention to each of the Milan players to see if there was anything unusual in their expressions. I'm sure you all know that. If we had continued to be so messy in the second half, I don't think we would have won this game. Do you want to "want us to lose this game away from home?" So in the second half we had to deal with it. We, uh, we have to step up our defense against Chu! β
Some of the players who had been turning their heads to look at Allegri turned their heads away.
What is the difference between this and the strategy of the first half. always said that Chu Zhongtian should be strictly defended. But how to defend it tightly? He couldn't say anything. This left Milan's players at a loss.
Gattuso could only rely on his own foul to stop Chu Zhongtian, and everyone saw that the foul gave Hoffenheim a chance to calmly attack, which eventually led to the second goal conceded.
Foul tactics are certainly a type of defense, but it's hard to say whether they can play the expected role.
Allegri then shifted the conversation to attack, believing that the key was the team's lack of attack, not the lack of defense. If the team's goal problem is solved, all other problems will be solved. How can you win a football game without scoring goals?
So to score goals.
He asked Robinho to drop back a little more and link up midfield.
He also noticed that Hoffenheim's midfielder had severed the link between the Vengling defenders and the forwards, hence the request.
Friends have to score. As long as you can get the ball back this morning. The repentance of this game will come back to us. There's always a lot of pressure on the side that is leading, especially when it's so early and we have a full forty-five minutes to get back the score, as long as we can score early! β
That's what he said, and that's what he pursued.
Ten minutes into the second half, seeing that the team has not yet scored. Allegri made a surprise substitution, he forced Neo with Ronald for No. 8 Gattuso!
It was a substitution to strengthen the attack. But the problem is that he replaced Gattuso, the most active and tenacious in the midfield of Wang Milan!
Gattuso was a little unhappy when he was substituted, but he still retired the captain's armband and handed it to Pirlo for the bigger picture. Then he trotted all the way off the field, and there was no waste of time.
But this substitution was doomed to be wrong.
Instead of helping Wang Milan regain the initiative in the game, they lost more control. Without Gattuso, Chu Zhongtian's performance is more comfortable, he plays Flamini to his heart's content, and he can also show off his footwork when facing Ronaldinho. Hoffenheim regained the upper hand.
Allegri also realised his mistake and made a new substitution, replacing Flamini with Boateng in the 65th minute.
Poor Flamini was ambitious at the beginning to freeze Chu Zhongtian and win more opportunities for himself to play in the team, but he was played twice by Chu Zhongtian at the beginning and suffered a heavy blow. I haven't recovered until now.
Boateng is also a defensive player with a tough style, he is a Ghana international who did well at the World Cup in South Africa, so he moved in. Milan. He also has a younger brother who plays for the German national team and played at the World Cup in South Africa as a full-back.
When Boateng came on, his aggressive running and ferocious defence slightly halted the Hoffenheim midfield's attack.
But Seedorf's performance was not good. Unable to provide more support to the team. And because of the confused substitution of Gattuso before, Allegri wasted a substitution opportunity, he now only has one substitution left, the game is less than 70 minutes, just in case, he must keep this, substitution, in case a player is injured or unable to continue the game due to physical exhaustion, so as to make substitution adjustments.
Even if he knew that Seedorf was not in good shape. It is also not possible to replace it in a short period of time.
Robinho's pullback didn't help link the midfield, and more often than not, he and Ibrahimovic had to rely on individual skills to find breaks and shots in Hoffenheim's defence.
Can Milan still win like this?
As the game progressed, more and more people had such questions.
Allegritte's expression grew heavier as the television broadcast continued to give him shots, and from the 70th minute onwards he stood on the sidelines and never returned to his dugout seat. He watched anxiously on the pitch and sometimes waved his arms and shouted a few words to remind the players to attack or defend.
But it didn't help.
In the eighth minute, Allegri finally made the right substitution, bringing on Inzaghi for Seedorf.
But there is too little time left for Inzaghi. The player who scared even Jose Mourinho had only ten minutes to play, and he was still playing on the right flank, which he was not good at.
In the final moments of the game, Hoffenheim began to make continuous substitutions, replacing three main players and replacing three substitutes. And Wang Milan also seized the opportunity, Inzaghi assisted Ibrahimovic to score a goal, but the ball could not change the outcome of the game.
In the end, Hoffenheim beat Milan 2 on their home turf, a result that surprised some, but anyone who watched the game took it for granted, Allegri did not show the kind of European giants like Milan at all, and it was normal to lose to the young and impactful Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim won the game and took the initiative in qualifying from the group. Although they are still third in the group, they have one goal difference less than Milan, but they are worth three points against a team like Milan on their home turf.
So as soon as the game was over, the Hoffenheim players hugged each other. They had been waiting for a full forty-five minutes for a moment, and they could finally celebrate!
The TV broadcast once again gave the close-up to Chu Zhongtian.
"Although he didn't score in the game, he was undoubtedly the best player of the game! In the match against Real Madrid, the team lost. He's still the best player. Chu's light is no longer something that can be covered by the victory or defeat of the game and the goal! β
After celebrating the victory, Chu Zhongtian led his teammates to applaud the fans in the stands, thanking them for their support in this game, and this victory is the best gift for them.
And the Hoffenheim fans had another great evening.
The commentator praised Hoffenheim's home stadium: "It was at this home that Hoffenheim had beaten Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Inter Milan, the top clubs in Europe, and now they have won Milan twice. Perhaps we can start looking forward to the penultimate matchday of the group stage, when Real Madrid travels to Hoffenheim! β
