Chapter 238: Hoffenheim's Blood

readx;

In fact, Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic wanted to invite Fernandez to dinner, but Fernandez didn't have that time, and ended the match with Hoffenheim, and Auxerre rushed back to France overnight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info so they just texted each other goodbye and weren't able to eat at once.

This battle between master and apprentice ended with the victory of the apprentice.

After the match against Auxerre, it was followed by the match against Borussia Dortmund. There is no need to say how much these two teams hate each other. What happened to Hoffenheim before Borussia Dortmund last season says it all.

This time, though, Hoffenheim didn't get the same treatment.

Despite the fact that the opponent was an enemy, Rangnick did not field a full main lineup. Now he and Hoffenheim are no longer in the small Bundesliga. So the rival in the league, he doesn't have to be obsessed. Anyway, in the history of the two sides, Hoffenheim has the advantage.

Since Hoffenheim defeated the last team they had not won against, Werder Bremen, the Hoffenheim team was liberated and no longer attached to one team.

Considering that the league is very long, and the schedule has been dense lately, Rangnick has used rotation. Except for Chu Zhongtian, most of the other players did not make the starting list.

Hoffenheim, nicknamed the "second team" by the media, arrived in Dortmund to challenge the hosts.

Dortmund fans and fans believe they have a great chance to beat their opponents at home, because the Hoffenheim team is not fully competitive. They thought they had a chance.

But they were wrong.

Hoffenheim, who have rested many of their main players, may not have the ability to beat Borussia Dortmund at the Westphalia, but they are at least guaranteed not to lose...... On 24 October, Hoffenheim's away game against Borussia Dortmund kicked off. This game is the most high-profile game of this round of the league, not only because of the old feud between the two teams in recent years, but also because Dortmund seems to have shaken off the slump of previous seasons today, and now they are second in the league, taking advantage of Mainz's two consecutive defeats, they have completed the overtake and followed Hoffenheim closely.

Before the game, the Dortmund media shouted "Take Hoffenheim and get to the top of the league table".

It can be seen how much attention everyone pays to this game.

Despite the confidence of the Borussia Dortmund players and fans, it was Hoffenheim who scored first.

In the ninth minute, Obsi received an assist from Ruud van Nistelrooy to score his fifth league goal, which instantly cooled down the crater-like Westphalian stadium.

Then the smell of gunpowder grew stronger in this game. Baker received a yellow card for tripping Japan's Shinji Kagawa.

Then there was Gago, who pulled Barrios' shirt in midfield and also received a yellow card.

Hoffenheim's players received consecutive yellow cards, which made the Hoffenheim fans in the stands very unhappy, who felt that the referee was biased in favor of the home team.

The referee then proved to the fans that he was still fair...... He showed a yellow card to defender Subotic, who had gone too far in a defence.

The movement of players on both sides was very large, the whistle was constantly sounding, and the game was frequently interrupted.

It's not a good game at all. The kind of mercury attack that Hoffenheim was used to couldn't play either. The commentator complained that it was all a muscle strangulation battle, not some football game.

In the 32nd minute, Borussia Dortmund equalised. The scorer was Paraguayan striker Barrios, who received an assist from Shinji Kagawa and stabbed the ball through Enyema's armpit.

After the equaliser, it didn't get the game back on the right track. There was more physical contact between the two sides, and it was more intense. The fans in the stands are also fueling the fire, and every physical collision can make the fans in the stands scream with excitement.

Fifteen minutes of the half-time break did not calm the players on both sides either.

It intensified in the second half.

Chu Zhongtian, as the core of the team, was taken care of by the other party, and the black feet and black hands kept greeting Chu Zhongtian.

After kicking in the first half, Chu Zhongtian's jersey changed color due to frequent falls, and he changed his body at halftime, and it changed color in less than fifteen minutes in the second half.

Rangnick was very angry at this approach by the Dortmund players, especially angry at the referee's inaction, and the Dortmund players violated Chu Zhongtian, at most it was only a verbal warning, basically no yellow card, let alone a red card.

But Chu Zhongtian himself didn't care, he was kicked down again and again, got up again and again, and continued to organize the attack. Of course, he also worked hard in defense, so he was not soft.

In the 56th minute, he was yellow carded for knocking down the Japanese player Shinji Kagawa who was holding the ball in the game.

His yellow card enraged Rangnick, who yelled at the fourth official: "My player is a yellow card for a foul!" What about their players! ”

Chu Zhongtian, who had committed a foul, did not step forward and pull Kagawa Shinji up in a friendly manner, but turned around indifferently and ran away.

After that, everyone's physical contact became more and more. The Hoffenheim players couldn't get used to Dortmund's players violating their captain without a single card, and their captain ate a card for a foul, so they made a big move.

In the end, the referee saw that the game situation was out of control, and he could no longer do anything, so he could only play the cards in vain.

In the sixty-eighth minute, Hoffenheim went to the lead again.

This time, Chu Zhongtian was dribbling the ball in the middle, and was stumbled by three consecutive Dortmund players, and he was about to fall down at any time, but the referee still didn't say anything. However, Chu Zhongtian didn't want the referee to blow the whistle, in such a stumble, he still controlled the football, and then at the most critical time, he made a very hidden straight plug to assist Van Nistelrooy to score!

2:1!

Van Nistelrooy was running wildly to celebrate the goal, while Chu Zhongtian put his index finger to his mouth and made a "shut up" gesture towards the stands where Dortmund fans gathered.

Of course, he also received more boos and insults from the fans, as well as more middle fingers.

The Dortmund players did not expect that Hoffenheim, who played in the "second team" lineup, could still lead them twice at the Westfalen Stadium, and they were a little angry. After the restart of the game, the action got bigger and bigger.

Rangnick was worried that Chu Zhongtian would be kicked by the increasingly angry Dortmund player, so he quickly replaced him off the field.

Chu Zhongtian did not forget to provoke the Dortmund fans and take revenge on the Dortmund players when he played. He didn't trot all the way down, but deliberately walked down slowly.

Who says he doesn't have anger in the face of those violations? He just kept holding it back, and then found a suitable opportunity to vent it. Now he had his chance - the trailing Dortmund would certainly like to have as much time as possible so they can have a chance to equalise or even win the game. But Chu Zhongtian made it clear that it was a waste of time to do this!

Some people protested to the referee, while others simply pushed Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian didn't resist, leaned his body back, and simply pressed almost all his weight on the opposing player, and then let the opponent push him, he still wanted to use this method to waste the opponent's physical energy...... And seeing Chu Zhongtian walking so slowly, the Dortmund fans in the stands let out deafening boos.

Finally, Chu Zhongtian walked down, and the boos slowed down. However, the beam between Chu Zhongtian and Dortmund fans is obviously getting bigger and bigger.

The smell of gunpowder in the game did not diminish with Chu Zhongtian's fate.

In the 80th minute, Hlosekk was defeated by Antonio. Da Silva was shown a red card for a retaliatory foul!

The decision once again caused displeasure among the Rangnick and Hoffenheim players, and there was even a clash between the players on the pitch, pushing and scolding each other.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Dortmund launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's heartland. Hoffenheim, who had one man less and no Chu Zhongtian, finally lost and allowed Da Silva to equalize in the 90th minute.

In the end, the fierce battle ended in a 2-2 draw.

But the aftermath of this game is far from over. After the game, Rangnick lashed out at the referee in a press conference, believing that he was biased in favour of the home team. And Dortmund's media are also very dissatisfied, they lashed out at Chu Zhongtian's approach when he left the field the next day as "immoral" and "unsportsmanlike", such a practice is a deliberate delay in time, and the referee should catch up and give Chu Zhongtian a yellow card, because Chu Zhongtian had a yellow card before, so he will be sent off with a red card. But the referee did not do this, and the Dortmund media even broke the news that the Dortmund club intends to appeal the matter to the referee committee of the league, and will make Chu Zhongtian pay the price for such an immoral behavior. The media in Sinsheim turned a blind eye to the harassment the night before the match. If you want to talk about immorality, such things are far more immoral than Chu Zhongtian's end.

As a party concerned, Chu Zhongtian defended his behavior: "I didn't deliberately delay the game, I was tired and couldn't run before I left the game." I think as long as I'm not very, very slow, no one has the right to say anything about what I'm doing, and other players can run off the field, but I also have the right to go off the field. Germany is a democratic and free country, don't I even have the right to step down? ”

His words have risen to a political level, and no one dares to say that he can't? If you dare to say it, you will not be democratic and free, and you will not have universal values enough.

"Besides, the rules of football don't say you can't go off the field. Whether it was delaying the game time, I believe the referee could see that since he didn't play a card, it means that I didn't delay the game. ”

The reporter asked him: "But when you came off the pitch, the fans booed loudly, and they were very unhappy with your delay......

Chu Zhongtian interrupted him and said: "You can't judge whether I did something wrong based on the reaction of the fans, if the fans hate a person, no matter what he does, it is wrong, should the referees also listen to them?" Since the referee cannot make a decision based on the broadcast footage of the game, it is even less likely that the referee will make a decision based on the reaction of the fans. ”

It's okay for him to say that, and the reporters can't find anything to question or refute.

In fact, everyone knew that Chu Zhongtian was deliberately delaying time, but he handled this degree very well, not only delaying time, but also not letting everyone grasp anything too obvious. So even the referee didn't show him a yellow card at the time.

Now that he says that, it only makes the Dortmund media and fans even more disgusted with him. But who cares what they think? Why did Chu Zhongtian take care of the enemy's feelings? Shouldn't we make the enemy more uncomfortable, more aggrieved, more unhappy, and more angry?

After the match with Dortmund, Hoffenheim continued to dominate the league, while Dortmund could only finish second.

After the match against Dortmund, Hoffenheim ushered in the second round of the German Cup. Hoffenheim had been playing two games a week during this time, which is why Rangnick would use the rotation at the risk of losing against their rivals.

In the second round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim's opponent was Inglestadt, a team from the German Second Division.

They play at home, which saves them from having to travel back and forth, as Hoffenheim also play at home in the league at the weekend.

Rangnick still hasn't let the whole main force play and can't play a Bundesliga team with the full main force. Rangnick continued the team's main line-up against Borussia Dortmund, which ended in a comfortable 3-0 win at home stadium.

Chu Zhongtian played all 90 minutes of the game, scoring no goals and no assists, but his presence ensured that Hoffenheim could beat their opponents by three goals.

Beating Inglestadt, Hoffenheim advanced to the third round of the German Cup, which is also the quarter-finals.

The following weekend, the team welcomed Hannover 96 on their home turf, their opponents in the tenth round of the league.

Their clash with Hannover 96 was the final league game of the round, after Borussia Dortmund beat Mainz 2-0 away to overtake Hoffenheim and temporarily move into the top spot in the league. If Hoffenheim lose at home to Hannover, they won't be temporary.

But the odds are too small. Even the people of Dortmund themselves know it.

As it turned out, Hannover 96 didn't even think about winning three points here. Their players and manager were low-key in their pre-match interviews.

Hoffenheim are in perfect form at the moment and are even considered favourites to win the Bundesliga this season. The people of Hannover didn't think they could win such a big favourite.

Rangnick was the main player in this game, and he wanted to score early to end the game so that the main players could go down to rest.

But God didn't fulfill people's wishes. Although the opposing midfielder Manuel was sent off for two yellow cards in the opening 20 minutes, Hoffenheim's goal was delayed.

Being at a disadvantage in numbers, and the strength itself is not superior, so the people of Hanover 96 simply retracted into their own forbidden area and couldn't defend it.

In the match against Auxerre, Hoffenheim also faced the situation of the opponent's shrinking defense. But Auxerre is still thinking about attacking, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Hanover 96 simply has a dead defense and no counterattack, and does not give Hoffenheim the slightest gap.

This kind of game makes Hoffenheim play very hard.

At half-time, Rangnick readjusted his tactics, asking his players to launch a fierce attack as soon as they kicked off in the second half, scoring a goal while the opposition was not on a firm footing and dragging the score back to what they were used to.

This is also the law of football games, generally the first five minutes of the game and the five minutes before the end of the game are the time period when players are the least attentive and prone to make mistakes, so it is also the easiest to score goals, and many goals happen at this time. This is statistically supported and based on data. It's not nonsense.

Hoffenheim and Hannover were therefore the second half of the game. As soon as the kick-off, Hoffenheim played a typical blitzkrieg, with Chu Zhongtian instigating the attack, Salihovic crossing, and Van Nistelrooy heading home.

Once you're ahead, it's a lot easier to play. Hannover 96, even if it is a stubborn defense, can only defend a 0:1 defeat. If you press out to attack, you may still have the hope of scoring and equalising - many teams will think first when faced with such a situation, rather than "win with less".

Hoffenheim is the least afraid of others attacking them, and with their current state, it is estimated that Barcelona will attack them, and they are confident that they will be killed.

Hannover 96 pressed out to attack, and the game was just watching, and the goals came one after another.

In the 51st minute, Quaresma cut inside on the edge of the box and then made a feint to shoot, burst into the box and was tripped down, and the referee awarded Hoffenheim a penalty.

Salihovic took the penalty and easily converted the penalty - 2:0.

In the 58th minute, Ibisevic scored the team's third goal, 3:0! He fired a long-range shot from 18 yards out and the ball flew into the corner, leaving the goalkeeper out of reach.

In the 63rd minute, Hoffenheim got a corner kick opportunity, and the central defender Comper grabbed the point in front of the goal, shook his head and pushed the football into the door of Hannover 96, 4:0!

In the seventy-first minute, Chu Zhongtian put the icing on the cake for the team and scored the fifth goal. It was a signature Chu Zhongtian-style goal - his Great China Cannon fired again!

Chu Zhongtian's goal drew a sentence for this game. Hoffenheim beat Hannover 96 5-0 at their home stadium. Hoffenheim's terrifying strong attacking power has been outstanding this season, so far, ten rounds of the league, whether it is a win or a draw, Hoffenheim have scored at least two goals in each game, in the first round of the league they beat Werder Bremen 5:1, followed by two 3:0 clean wins over opponents St. Pauli and Schalke 04, even if they were forced to draw by Kaiserslautern and Dortmund, they were two 2:2, the victory over Bayern Munich was 2:1, and the victory over Cologne and Borussia Mönchengladbach was 3:0, The win over the then leader Mainz was 4:2.

With this kind of attack power, it is difficult for Hoffenheim to win.

But it's also quite in line with the Hoffenheim anthem: attack! Offensive! Offensive schoolwork always flows!

In the Hoffenheim team, the offense is their blood, people can't live without blood, and Hoffenheim is not Hoffenheim if it loses the offense......
