Biskens did not criticise the team's performance at half-time, but encouraged them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He also knows that criticism may not be a good idea at this time. It was not easy for the players to equalize, and in the second half of the first half, they kept besieging the opponent's goal, and they didn't score a goal, but they were not very lucky, and there was not much to blame. Criticizing the team will only undermine the team's morale and desire to win. So he chose to encourage them, telling them that if they continued to play like this in the second half, they would definitely win. How do you continue to play? Of course it's attacking, and it would be better if you could besiege Hoffenheim's goal.

"Attack! You have no other way but to attack. We have to score as soon as possible, the first five minutes of the second half are the best time to score, take the opportunity to score a goal and let us take the lead! When the time comes, the league championship will become the pressure on them and make them play out of shape! Biskens said excitedly.

On the other side, at half-time at Hoffenheim, Rangnick did not criticize the team. Because a draw is also a good result for the team, as long as a draw can win the championship, the league title is close at hand, so Rangnick is also utilitarian. Before Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich played in the first half of the season, Bayern Munich launched psychological warfare, and their general manager Hoeness ridiculed Rangnick's first season in charge of a team was amazing, and the second season must have been a bad mess, and said that Rangnick would be the runner-up at best. This sentence can be regarded as poking Rangnick's heart, when he was in charge of Schalke 04, he had the best record of all the managers who have coached Schalke 04, but in the end he only won a runner-up. This runner-up made him haunted, and it also caused him a kind of invisible inferiority. Although coaching at Hoffenheim has impressed the German media, it is still a big regret of his coaching career that he has not won the accolade of not winning it.

He hopes that his third season at Hoffenheim can change that.

There was one thing he hadn't even said to anyone closest to him – he wanted the Bundesliga title more than anyone else, because he needed it to gain confidence.

During the break, Rangnick praised the team's performance, encouraged them to continue playing like this, and left the dressing room with a few words, leaving the rest of the time to the players themselves.

As soon as Rangnick left, Chu Zhongtian said: "Brothers, although we can win the championship if we draw, but in the second half I think we should continue to attack and pursue goals." Hoffenheim's football is attacking football, and if you don't score goals, it's not normal. ”

"But Schalke 04's defense is very good, what if we attack and don't score for a while, but the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack?" Comper asked. As a central defender, the first thing to consider is of course defense, and he is worried that after Chu Zhongtian leads people to rush up, he will lack protection in front of him.

"That's not a problem." "We have that worry about any team, but what about the result? I believe we have the attacking quality to break down their goal before they score. ”

"I also think it's better to win. This is my first league title and I hope to get it with a win, not a draw! Weiss said in high spirits. Hoffenheim were promoted to second place in the second division last season and their excellent performances this season have always given the illusion that this team was the champions of last season's Bundesliga, but in fact it was not. In the Bundesliga, their performance in the first half was quite poor, and it was all about the second half of the effort to catch up. After a season of running-in, this team's style of play has gradually taken shape, and it has only this season's amazing performance.

But whether it's in the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga, or even the amateur league, this team adheres to the idea of attacking. As they sing in their team song: "Attack, attack, attack the blood of the offense flows forever." "Hoffenheim who doesn't attack is not Hoffenheim.

"That's right, attack!" Demba. As a striker, of course, Ba wants the team to attack, and only by attacking him can he score.

The discussion was that the overwhelming majority was in favor of attack, so the team's thinking was unified in the second half - attack.

"There's actually an advantage to offense." Chu Zhongtian continued to analyze for everyone. "We only need a draw to win the title. The Schalke 04 folks also know that they will certainly think we will play more conservatively in the second half, and they will only have a chance of qualifying for next season's UEFA Cup if they win it. So in the second half they don't really play back, they attack, their backline is open and we can take those chances. So if we attack as well, it's going to surprise them and we'll score when they don't have time to react, and if we score one more goal, they're finished! ”

Chu is right. As long as we score again, Schalke 04 is finished! There's a lot of pressure on them, it's their home stadium and they can't afford to lose. But once they fall behind us, the pressure will crush them! 'The first half was outstanding, and goalkeeper Hildebrand, who repeatedly blocked shots from Schalke 04 players, also expressed his support. Then the loud noise will become a burden for Schalke 04 and we will just have to play our football. ”

'So the second half was the way we were used to. We're going to try to score early, preferably within five minutes of the game, and then the initiative will be back in our hands. If we don't score in five minutes, we slow down. Anyway, the sooner we score, the better it will be for us! ”

In the home dressing room at the Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg coach Magath is asking his players to ignore the news of another stadium.

"It doesn't matter if they're tied or leading, that's not what you should be concerned about! There's only one thing you have to do, and that's to play the game in front of you! ”

Magath has absolute authority in the team, and he is usually not smiling, but now he is serious, which makes everyone dare not take a breath.

'You did a good job in the first half, but it's not good to concede a goal for the other side. In the second half you have to keep attacking, keep attacking and try to score more goals! ”

There's only one thing Wolfsburg can do now, and that's the only thing they can do in their own hands. If they can really beat Werder Bremen by nine goals at home, they will be able to cheer when the news comes at the end of the game that Hoffenheim have been held to a draw by Schalke 04. Otherwise, even if Hoffenheim were really forced to draw, they would be relegated to second place because of insufficient goal difference.

That being said, in the minds of the Wolfsburg players, it is still somewhat impossible to bring it in. The race for the league title, after they lost to Stuttgart, they have already fallen behind, because the two teams are now two points apart, so even if Hoffenheim draws, they can win the title, what about themselves? Not only do you have to win by a big score, but you also have to look at other people's faces. There is so little hope...... In fact, the last round was their best chance to achieve a comeback, their opponents were weak, and Hoffenheim's opponents were strong enough. Wolfsburg's players were also optimistic before the game, believing that Bayern Munich would be able to beat Hoffenheim as they need to fight for a Champions League qualification.

Unexpectedly, Hoffenheim's team really created a miracle, defeating Bayern Munich 3-2 at their home stadium. Chu Zhongtian's last-minute goal gave all Wolfsburg players a feeling that "the tide is gone".

Now, the penultimate round of the league is the final that will decide the championship. Bayern Munich did not stop Hoffenheim, and the victory gave the Hoffenheim team a lot of confidence, which allowed them to not fall behind against Schalke 04.

※※※The fifteen minutes of the halftime passed quickly, and the three teams walked onto the pitch with different moods.

In the VIP table, the president of the German Football Association Zwanzig was still chatting with the others, and they talked about the biggest dark horse of the season, Hoffenheim.

"If this continues, Hoffenheim will have a good chance of winning the league......

"yes, I didn't expect to come to Hoffenheim at the beginning of the season......"

"Haha! Hoffenheim have been really good this season! But I think their success is due to Bayern Munich's own problems, and if Bayern do well, whether it's Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg, I am afraid that this league title will not be the ......."

"I don't think it's easy to say, Bayern Munich doesn't have problems on their own, it's difficult for any team to beat them, but there are always reasons for failure, and your own problems are the biggest reason. No team can always be without problems. Why not say that Hoffenheim can't beat any team if they don't have problems? It's unfair to attribute their success to Bayern's poor performance, and even if Bayern Munich improves next season, I'm looking forward to seeing them and Hoffenheim again. I always felt that this small team was the ...... of Bayern Munich."

While a group of people were discussing here, the game had already begun, and the chatter in the VIP seats was quickly drowned out by the loud noise of the Schalke Stadium, and soon they stopped talking and just watched the game intently.

Hoffenheim's players decided at half-time that they were still attacking in the second half, and they used their possession to push towards the opposition goal from the start of the game. In the end, after a series of passes, the football fell to Chu Zhongtian's feet, and he did not continue to pass in, because the opponent's defense line was still solid at the beginning of the second half, and he chose to shoot from a distance.

The long-range shot was of high quality and hit the woodwork and was saved hard by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

As Chu Zhongtian said at halftime, Schalke 04's idea in the second half was very simple, that is, attacking. After defending the corner, they launched an onslaught towards Hoffenheim's goal, hoping to score within the first five minutes of the second half. Generally speaking, the first five minutes of the game and the five minutes before the end of the game are the most likely periods to score, because most teams are not focused enough to be in the game.

Schalke 04 intends to use this time period to launch a surprise attack on Hoffenheim. Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot before was considered by them to be a manifestation of Hoffenheim's lack of unity of thought, and the main force of the whole team was not concentrated enough, which naturally became evidence that they could score.

They believe Hoffenheim should have chosen to defend and counter-attack, hold on to a draw and win the game. Rangnick must have arranged it this way, so Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot can only show that not everyone among the players agrees with this arrangement. When you play football, you are afraid that the players will not be united, the thinking will not be unified, some people want to attack and some people want to let go, resulting in a disconnect between the front and back, and it is inevitable to lose the ball.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian's shot not only did not sound the alarm for Schalke 04, but instead made them see their hope of scoring, so they pressed it hard, hoping to score a goal in the first five minutes of the game, as the coach said...... "Farfan shot - Hildebrand!" Nice save! Hoffenheim looked a little embarrassed for a few minutes, and the best performer in their team turned out to be Hildebrand. If Rangnick wants to hold on to this draw and win the league title, it's still early. With Hoffenheim's defensive level, when they are focused on defending, the end result must not be as good as they want......" Leif expressed his displeasure with Hoffenheim's football in the last few minutes, criticising. He had the impression that Hoffenheim was the Hoffenheim who were constantly attacking, and from the first minute of the game to the last second of the game, he was still tirelessly looking for opportunities to score. Hoffenheim, who was beaten passively like this, was not very familiar...... Chu Zhongtian was using these few minutes to constantly observe the changes in the situation on the field, and then analyze the next development trend from his own mind. He found that his opening shot did not alert the Schalke 04 players, but instead attacked more confidently and boldly, as evidenced by the assists of the two full-backs. Westman is better, and the Brazilian Raphinha is almost on the verge of becoming a winger, and he doesn't go back after completing one attack, waiting for a second attack in the frontcourt.

That meant there would be plenty of room at the back...... ※※※ In the 48th minute, Hildebrand held Kulanyi's header firmly in his arms. Of course, he didn't forget the tactics discussed at half-time to score as soon as possible, so he quickly got up from the ground and looked forward. I happened to see Chu Zhongtian running backwards and forward, and the eyes of the two people collided in the air, and each understood each other's thoughts.

Hildebrand didn't hesitate any longer and threw the ball over with his hand.

Chu Zhongtian turned around after seeing him throw the ball, changed to face the offensive direction, and the football fell a little in front of him impartially, and he stretched out his foot to control the football again.

He didn't stop to wait for someone, he didn't look up to observe the situation around him, he rushed forward with the ball after receiving it!

"Chu is here again! Hoffenheim attack! ”

Jones and Enrager are one in front of Chu Zhongtian, and the other is chasing after him, in addition, the two central defenders Kolstadzic and Hevedes are also still in the backfield, and it is not easy for Chu Zhongtian to go head-to-head alone.

Schalke 04's players also noticed this, and they also thought that Chu Zhongtian could not go head-to-head, so they focused more on the side. The goal conceded in the first half was Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough in the middle to attract their attention, and then the ball was divided to the side, and then crossed from the side.

Jones didn't turn his head, but his eyes glanced to the side, he wanted to see who was on the wing...... Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Chu Zhongtian slammed the football forward, accelerated to chase the ball, and rushed past Jones's side!

After Jones reacted to Chu Zhongtian's innocent forced breakthrough, it was too late, he turned around and only saw Chu Zhongtian's back.

"Hold him!" He shouted.

Kolstadzic rushed up and knocked Chu Zhongtian with the ball to the ground without saying a word!

The referee's whistle sounded.

Schalke 04 was fouled and Hoffenheim won a free-kick from 38 yards from goal. Jones was relieved to see the result.

However, Kolstadzic received a yellow card for the foul, and the second half has just begun, so he will have to be careful in the next game.

The Hoffenheim players were not very happy with the yellow card and thought Kolstadzic should be given a red card and sent off straight away. They protested a few words, but the referee ignored them and simply signaled for them to take a free kick quickly.

This free-kick is a bit far, thirty-eight meters, which is not a good distance for a direct shot. Chu Zhongtian, Sarihovic and Eduardo were standing in front of the ball and were biting their ears.

"You can't punish it directly...... I wasn't sure to shoot the ball into the goal from this distance...... anyway," Sarihovic said. When he looked at the goal, he felt that the goal was very small, and the goal was full of people, and he was not sure that after the ball was shot, it would have enough arc to bypass the defenders, and enough strength to maintain a high speed during such a long flight, and at the same time enough accuracy to avoid hitting high or missing the shot.

Eduardo agreed: "We regrouped our attack...... Sarihovic is the team's number one set-piece, let alone himself.

But Chu Zhongtian disagreed, although the distance was a little far, but it was facing the goal, with the widest shooting angle, it was not impossible to shoot directly, and the most important thing was that because of the distance, Schalke 04 only lined up a wall of two people, almost perfunctory - obviously they didn't believe that Hoffenheim could shoot directly at this distance. In Chu Zhongtian's opinion, the two people standing side by side in Schalke 04 cannot be regarded as a "wall" at all, and they can't even have the slightest blocking effect. If it is a long-range shot in a sports battle, more than 30 meters is not an impossible distance, and now it is a fixed-point shot, and the difficulty is even less. It's worth a try.

"Try it?"

Eduardo and Sarihovic reopened the distance, but still shook their heads: "It's too difficult." ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Then I'll try." ”

"You?" Both were a little surprised.

Chu Zhongtian pointed to the loose human wall, "In fact, it's a fixed-point long-range shot, just more than thirty meters." ”

The two of them grinned, "more than thirty meters" is still "just", you can really say it.

But the captain insisted on trying, and they didn't say anything.

"Carlos, you go to the front, Sayyad, you cover for me." Chu Zhongtian saw that the two of them had no opinions, and began to assign tasks.

"Okay." Eduardo ran to the front and Sarihovic stayed where he was, making it look like he was going to take the free-kick.

"Thirty-eight meters away...... Could it be that Hoffenheim is going to shoot straight at goal? Leif the commentator was also a little puzzled when he saw Sarihovic's appearance.

"It's not impossible." Effenberg said, "A 38-metre free kick is not unscored, and a long free kick is more sudden. Because the opponent didn't expect them to shoot directly in this place, as long as the shot was good......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu Zhongtian, who was standing far behind, suddenly started to run!

His run-up distance was long, about 10 meters, but he and Roberto. Carlos's running style was different, he strode forward as soon as he came up, and took out the posture of the 100-meter sprint.

Just like Chu Zhongtian and Effenberg said, Schalke 04 really didn't expect Hoffenheim to shoot at such a distance, thirty-eight meters, not far from the center circle, not many people will choose to shoot directly there, so Schalke 04's human wall is completely a decoration, a tofu scum project.

When they saw Chu Zhongtian running towards the football, they didn't change their minds. They felt that this must be a feint, and when Chu Zhongtian rushed to the end, he would definitely divide the football to the side with one kick. So Schalke 04's attention was naturally on the wing, and they wanted to see what Hoffenheim players were on the wing at this time...... At this time, Chu Zhongtian ran to the football, Sarihovic didn't make any moves, and saw Chu Zhongtian, who was sprinting with all his strength, picked up his right leg in the face of the football and volleyed!!

Chu Zhongtian kicked this ball quite hard, and after kicking the football, his whole body rose into the air, as if he was going to fly forward with the football. The football flew out of the distance with a breath, and it rushed past the two-person wall in less than half a second.

It was only when the wind of the football ruffled their hair that the two realized that Hoffenheim had really shot straight at goal!

At the same time as Chu Zhongtian shot, Duan Bin stretched his voice and shouted: "Shoot-"

The ball flew straight past the two Schalke 04 players and then continued to maintain this height and speed as it sprinted towards Neuer's goal.

Neuer only felt that the kung fu football was in front of him in the blink of an eye, and then his brain gave instructions for him to make a save.

It's too late.

Both Sarihovic and Eduardo find it difficult to find a way to the goal in the box, and the best way to do that is to go around it – around the wall, around the most crowded areas, and then around the goalkeeper's fingers and finally into the goal.

But these Chu Zhongtian will not, in his opinion, there is only one easiest and most direct way to the goal, that is, a straight line starting from himself!

The ball itself was almost completely unturning, whistling and disturbing the air around it, and it seemed to Neuer that the ball was bobbing up and down in a small area, which made it more difficult for him to pounce, not to mention the speed of the ball itself...... By the time he made the save, the ball had already flown in front of him. He held out his hand and the ball crossed the goal line. And when he unfolded in the air and made a complete save, the football had already lifted the net behind him.

Like a cannon blasting through the walls, Neuer fell like a shattered stone. When he didn't touch the ball in the middle of the save, he knew he had failed...... No, it should be said that from the very beginning, Hoffenheim did not expect to shoot directly from such a distance, and he failed.

Sarihovic stood where the football had been, without making a single movement, without changing his posture, and he could see the whole process of the ball flying into the goal, his mouth gradually opening wide, and finally he could only describe the expression on his face as stunned.

"Ball-in-it!!" Duan Bin changed his tone and stood up from his commentary seat with his arms raised.
