"Salihovic crosses! Van Nistelrooy - Beam!! What a pity! His header hit the crossbar! ”

The fans in the Bernabeu stands gasped in unison, all startled by Ruud van Nistelrooy's header. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everyone raised their heads in their hands. Hoffenheim fans are sorry because of pity, while Real Madrid fans are afraid of it.

"It's really surprising that it wasn't the home team Real Madrid who threatened at the beginning, it was Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! ”

"Real Madrid have to be careful, this Hoffenheim team is definitely not easy to deal with! They beat Manchester United and Inter Milan last season and this is a team that has always been very energetic. What is the definition of vitality? It's not afraid of heaven and earth! Real Madrid may be an invincible juggernaut for other teams, but for Hoffenheim, it is not! ”

"Just one minute and 34 seconds into the game, Hoffenheim almost scored! Ruud van Nistelrooy's header is dangerous! We can see the characteristics of Hoffenheim in this attack, this young team is not intimidated by the name of Real Madrid......"

The commentators praised Hoffenheim's performance and spoke highly of it.

Although Hoffenheim's owners are rich, although their training facilities are not inferior to any Bundesliga team, although their management is very professional, although their starting point is high. But all this is not worth mentioning in front of Real Madrid. In this football world, Real Madrid will always be the most special one, they are real giants, from the beginning of their birth to the present, they have won more than 70 titles, and 31 of the top league titles alone, which is the most in the top five European leagues. The nine Champions League trophies are also unrivaled.

So in front of them, Hoffenheim is an out-and-out grassroots. But this group of grassroots who have never seen the world have given Real Madrid a disadvantage at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Someone has said that the grassroots are a group of people who ignore the historical background and do not care about the concept of the family, who do not ask where they come from but only care about the present, who do not believe in history but desire history, who believe that what they do is both a part of history and a re-creation of history.

Yes, Hoffenheim ignores the historical background, and they don't care about the concept of the family, because they have no historical background and no family, and they can only move forward if they don't care about this, otherwise they will be entangled in the pace of the door championship and the so-called heritage. History is all in the past and has no meaning to them, but at the same time they are eager to create their own history and be remembered in the future.

Just like painting on a blank piece of paper, it is precisely because the past is so pale that they are able to write their own legends and "history" today.

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal did not score, it greatly stimulated the passion and fighting spirit of the Hoffenheim players. Although they said many times before the game, things like "Real Madrid are nothing special", but they still saw it with their own eyes and experienced it better for them to understand that Casillas, known as "Saint-Igor", will also be hit by us on the crossbar and will not react, and the world-class centre-back combination of Pepe and Carvalho will not be able to keep up with our attack, a team like Real Madrid is really nothing great!

In the following games, Hoffenheim's morale was boosted, and they frequently launched attacks into the heart of Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid is not vegetarian either.

Mourinho clearly knows Hoffenheim well - naturally, he has already played Hoffenheim twice, and it would be strange if he didn't. Although Hoffenheim's fast and direct style was only formalized this season, the prototype was established in their first season on promotion to the Bundesliga, and last season was a run-in period, and the shadow of this kind of football can also be seen.

Mourinho didn't think about how to curb Hoffenheim's kind of football, his response was to be quick and direct.

Yes, his style of Real Madrid is also fast and direct, which is completely different from Barcelona's complex and flashy style, and Mourinho's Real Madrid fully exploit their fast characteristics to the extreme.

Real Madrid have shown no signs of this in their previous league games, with the focus on their backline and forwards squandering opportunities time and time again. The media and fans think that Mourinho's Real Madrid is too conservative, and the forwards are collectively suffering from "goal anxiety", such Real Madrid still can't escape boos at the Bernabeu, and even some fans are dissatisfied with Mourinho's main double midfield, thinking that Mourinho is too conservative and too negative, this is not Real Madrid's football.

Just as Chu Zhongtian and Rangnick thought that this match against Real Madrid was a great opportunity to show the world the Hoffenheim style of football. Jose Mourinho also positioned the game as a key point in reversing Real Madrid's recent poor image. The fruits of his hard work in the months since taking over Real Madrid will be shown in this game.

What are the characteristics of football at Real Madrid? This question has to be put aside in the past few years to ask the most hardcore Real Madrid fans, I'm afraid he can't say it, because at that time, Real Madrid changed many coaches, but they have not established their own style, always every time a coach comes, he brings a new thing, and the result of these things is chaos.

When Jose Mourinho arrived, he dug out the style that this team should really stick to, and that is fast.

Of course, Real Madrid can't play conservative football, because Real Madrid fans and Real Madrid's directors won't agree, and a passive and conservative Real Madrid is not Real Madrid. Think about Capello when he led Real Madrid to reverse Barcelona to win the league championship, but he was still ousted, isn't it because everyone thinks Real Madrid under his leadership is not good-looking?

So Real Madrid's football is attacking football. But it's also an attack, Real Madrid's attack can't be as flashy as Barcelona's, and they can't be like Barcelona, the result of more than 20 years of perseverance. Of course, it is impossible for Real Madrid to calm down and grind slowly for 20 years, the directors of the Real Madrid club do not agree, and neither do the Real Madrid fans. Mourinho can only use the available resources as much as possible to create a style of football that best suits Real Madrid's characteristics. That's fast.

Real Madrid have a lot of fast players in their squad, such as Cristiano. Ronaldo, such as Benzema, such as Higuain, such as Mesut Ozil, such as Di Maria, such as Marcelo, and also the injured Kaka, they all have very good speed, since there are so many fast attackers, then "fast" is not the natural style?

Real Madrid players are young, driven, fast and technical. In this style, they are able to exert their maximum energy.

It also ensures that it is distinguished from Barcelona's kind of attacking football - no Real Madrid fan can tolerate being told that their team is following Barcelona's example, that they are a toddler. So they will also be happy to see their team's football both spectacle and different from Barcelona.

This game is such an opportunity, the Champions League is different for Real Madrid, and it can be best to show new football in a game like this.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's crossbar didn't make Real Madrid panic too much, but only stirred up their fighting spirit. As a Real Madrid player, it would be a shame to be so threatened by a small team on their home turf. How could they not fight back?

They certainly remember how Mourinho asked for them.

Real Madrid fans, who were previously quite critical of Real Madrid's football, soon discovered that today's Real Madrid were different, they were not conservative, they were aggressive, and they launched wave after wave of attacks on the opposing goal.

C. Ronaldo broke through the edge of the penalty area with the ball and then came to a long shot, not long after, Di Maria suddenly cut inside with the ball on the right side, and also came to shoot, and then Ozil passed Higuain, Higuain gave alms in the box, and the football was saved by Nyema.

Rangnick expected Real Madrid to play attacking football on his home turf, but he didn't expect Real Madrid's attacking football to be so sharp and fast. He was a little confused, thinking he was watching Hoffenheim play in a white away shirt.

The characteristics of the two teams are simply too similar...... Football in Hoffenheim is fast and direct, and football in Real Madrid is also fast and direct.

Hoffenheim quickly passed through the midfield when attacking, and Real Madrid also quickly passed through the midfield when attacking, whether it was Ozil or Di Maria, or C. Ronaldo, everyone sprinted forward with all their strength after getting the ball, and it is rare to see them spin in a circle after taking the ball, and then hesitate to observe for a long time, and then kick the football back again.

Rangnick is no stranger to this scene, Hoffenheim played in his first season in the Bundesliga, and he didn't even allow his players to pass back and cross, just to improve the team's speed.

I didn't expect Real Madrid to do the same...... Of course, he doesn't know if Mourinho has made the same rules, but this Real Madrid football does make him familiar.

The game...... It's like kicking in the mirror!

This kind of fast football of Real Madrid also surprised the Hoffenheim players on the field, who, like Rangnick, knew that Real Madrid would definitely play attacking football at home, because even Mourinho did not have the courage to play defensive football at the Bernabeu. But they didn't expect Real Madrid's attacking football characteristics to be exactly the same as theirs, which was simple and straightforward and fast-paced. No matter who gets the ball, they just go forward, while the other teammates cooperate with the rhythm of the player who holds the ball, sprint hard, and rush up as fast as possible, forming a numerical advantage in a very short time, and the momentum of "surging attack".

These are Hoffenheim's styles of football in the Bundesliga...... After Chu Zhongtian got the ball, all the other players would rush forward, two full-backs, two full-backs, and two forwards. When they switched from defense to offense, this characteristic was brought into full play.

For a while, in the face of Real Madrid's fast football, Hoffenheim's players didn't know what to do.

Their defence was a bit of a mess, and they were swept away by Real Madrid's fast football, and if it weren't for Real Madrid's bad luck, or if Real Madrid's strikers still didn't have their shooting boots on, they might have been two goals behind by the fifteenth minute ahead.

In the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's fast football is in a league of its own and is alternative. Most of the Bundesliga teams are slow, and their fast football can easily break down the opposition defence. They don't have the skills to deal with football as fast as they do.

There is a statistic that in the Champions League, the speed of passing is ten to fifteen percentage points faster than in the Bundesliga, which is enough to explain the difference between the two competitions. Hoffenheim's passing level has reached the Champions League average, but their opponents in the league have not reached it, so they are not used to it.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian stood up.

He first put all his energy into the defense, and together with Sana, he formed a barrier in front of the backline, and reorganized the scattered defense of Real Madrid so that everyone should not panic.

Then he began to look for opportunities to fight back.

The more Real Madrid attack, the more open they will be at the back. Even if Mourinho puts a lot of effort into defending, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems at all, there will definitely be loopholes, it depends on you whether you can catch them.

※※※ This is not the first time that Ozil has played against Chu Zhongtian, when he was at Werder Bremen, he often played Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Bremen, where he is located, are on a winning streak against Hoffenheim, so psychologically he has an advantage against Hoffenheim.

In the first round of the new season, Hoffenheim broke the embarrassing record of losing every Bremen, and this incident did not affect him. Since he has left Bremen, he has nothing to do with Bremen, and he will not pay attention to Bremen's news.

However, the German media believe that Mesut Ozil's departure may be the reason for Bremen's failure, as they lack a clear midfield playmaker in the midfield.

Mesut Ozil, who made a name for himself at the World Cup, must have been missed by Bremen fans. But now he has become the darling of the Bernabeu fans, and it took almost just one league game for him to be accepted by discerning Real Madrid fans. His calm command in midfield did not look at all like a young man of only twenty-one years. His technique is outstanding, full of aura, and even the Spanish media can't wait to put the hat of "Zidane's successor" on his head.

He started today's game against his old rivals, Hoffenheim, who had never lost in the league, but he soon found that the old opponents had become a little stranger.

For Chu Zhongtian, defeating Bremen certainly freed the team and him from an embarrassing past, but this matter is not really over. Ozil is the core of Bremen's midfield, with him and without him, Bremen are completely different, only by defeating Ozil, he can be regarded as completely defeating Werder Bremen.

So when Real Madrid were on the attack, he had his eye on Mesut Ozil.

He said hello to Sana and went to the top of Ozil himself, while Sana didn't keep an eye on anyone, just guarding the middle area at the edge of the penalty area, protecting the space behind him from being caught and exploited by his opponents.

Hoffenheim won a corner and Salihovic's shot was headed over by Pepe.

The ball that fell outside the box made Cristiano. Ronaldo ferried his head to the middle. Mesut Ozil followed up from the middle and stretched out his foot to unload the ball in the air beautifully.

His action drew applause and cheers from the Real Madrid fans in the stands.

Seeing him get the ball, the other Real Madrid players rushed forward with confidence, and they put on what they do best - relying on speed to break down Hoffenheim's hasty retreating defence. C. Ronaldo, Higuain, Di Maria, Marcelo ran forward from different directions.

"It's Real Madrid's attack! Here they are again! ”

"Hoffenheim's centre-backs are still in the opposition box, and now the Hoffenheim players at the back have only two full-backs and a midfielder...... "The German commentator sweated for Hoffenheim. Real Madrid's attack was so fast that it only took a few seconds for them to be able to form a situation of playing more with less on half the pitch, Hoffenheim was more than lucky!

Mesut Ozil unloaded the ball and stopped a little dead, landing directly below his centre of gravity, so he needed to adjust, he didn't take the first few steps, and the pace didn't pick up. His adjustment left a chance for Chu Zhongtian, he quickly leaned over from behind, seized the opportunity of Ozil to bury his head in adjusting the football under his feet, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and then grabbed the ball with his feet!

He doesn't have to break the ball, it's hard to break the ball from behind, and it's easy to get fouled. He only needs to delay Ozil's movements, so that Real Madrid's fast attack can't play, and give his teammates time to return to defense, and it will be considered a success.

Mesut Ozil is familiar with Chu Zhongtian's defensive feelings, and he has encountered the Chinese player more than once in the Bundesliga. Therefore, when Chu Zhongtian just put his hand on his shoulder, he didn't look up or look back to know who the person behind him was.

His choice was to make an emergency stop, and at the same time blocked the football with the outside of his right foot, and Chu Zhongtian also followed the sudden brake, using this emergency stop to copy in front of Ozil, blocking his progress. As long as the opponent stops, his defense is half the battle.

Ozil did not entangle with Chu Zhongtian more, and the two seasons of competition in the Bundesliga let him know how powerful the one-on-one ability of the person in front of him is, and he always seems to be able to guess what he is going to do next, so as to prevent it in advance and break the ball.

Ozil raised his foot to pass the ball when his body center of gravity had not yet adjusted!

He passed the ball to Marcelo on the wing.

Normally, you can't go wrong with a pass like that, but this time he was wrong.

The football passed, but it didn't fall at the feet of Marcelo and was intercepted by Sana halfway through!

When Chu Zhongtian and Ozil were entangled, Sana had already given up the defense in the middle and ran to the side to support his teammates. He dared to give up the defense in the middle because he saw Chu Zhongtian defending back. He trusts Chu Zhongtian very much, and knows that as long as he is entangled, it will be difficult for Ozil to get rid of it, even if he can surround Chu Zhongtian, he can't escape the fate of being put to the ground by Chu Zhongtian - Chu Zhongtian knows when to make a choice, in short, he will never let his opponent successfully run away from his face. Since you can't get rid of it with the ball, you can only rely on passing. At present, in the middle, there is not a single Real Madrid player, and the Real Madrid players have all run to the wing, Higuain, C. Ronaldo, Marcelo and Di Maria are all pulling on the side. The focus of the defence is clearly on the wings.

C. Ronaldo and Marcelo on the left wing, Higuain and Di Maria on the right wing, Higuain and C. Ronaldo both rushed too far forward and had already reached the back line, they handed it over to the defenders, and he chose one between Marcelo and Di Maria, he chose the right one!

Sana, who intercepted the ball, re-passed the ball.

He passed the football to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian had already thrown down Ozil in this short period of time and rushed up again.

Chu Zhongtian, who received Sana's pass, did not take the ball to the opponent's penalty area alone, he directly chose to shoot from a distance of 20 meters from the goal!

The ball roared towards the goal. Casillas made a save, but he still didn't touch the ball as it flew off the outside of the post and hit the billboard with a muffled sound.

"Oh! Hoffenheim's second threatening shot on goal came from Chu! ”

"Under Real Madrid's continuous attack, Hoffenheim was not intimidated, at least their captain was not, this powerful long-range shot is not only a warning to Real Madrid, but also a reminder to their players!" The commentator on the German side praised Chu Zhongtian.

And He Ping, the commentator of China Central Television, said even more emotionally: "In the Bernabeu stadium, Chu Zhongtian is the brightest star of Hoffenheim!" ”

And what matched his words was a close-up of the TV broadcast, Chu Zhongtian appeared in the camera and was closely followed by the TV broadcast. His back number and name stand out against the blue jersey.
