Chapter 378: An Unexpected Surprise
Before the game, the media looked down on Hoffenheim's report to have an effect, and the atmosphere at the scene was very serious, although the Hoffenheim fans were still singing their war songs and waiting for the home team to play, but from the expressions swept by the camera, their hearts were not relaxed.

The visitors' Hamburg were the first to come out, their heads held high and their fighting spirit leaping to their faces.
Don't look at the current Hamburg team is still far from Hoffenheim in terms of points, but if they win this game, the gap will be reduced to 2 points, which is an easy score to catch up!
Although this season compared with last season, the loss of the main players of the Hamburg team is relatively large, but by cutting the meat of the giants - Real Madrid, Manchester City and other teams, Martin Jol, who has sufficient funds, has also bought back new signings to fill the vacancy.
And now it seems that there is good chemistry between the new signings and the old players, and until now, the results of the Hamburg team have been even better than last season!
Coupled with Bayern's slump this season, Joel has regained his hopes of competing for the Bundesliga title. This hope has also been passed from him to the hearts of the players.
"We want to win!" The Hamburg starters were full of fighting spirit and confidence, "How can a promoted polo team stop us?" ”
In comparison, Hoffenheim's players are a bit dull when they come on the pitch, and there is not a lot of pressure on their hearts. But fortunately, everyone was still holding their breath, just like Beta and Gustavo had talked about in private before.
Aren't you not optimistic about us? Let's see how good we are!
……
Once the game began, Hamburg, who had the ball, took the lead in attacking, and their first attack was entangled in Hoffenheim's half for more than five minutes!
It's not that the offensive firepower of the Hamburg team is too strong, but that Weiss and Gustavo made a bit of a mistake at the back today! may be the reason for the high pressure, under the pressure of Mathiessen and De Jong who were inserted in front, the two made passing mistakes one after another, allowing the Hamburg team to steal the ball again!
However, Hamburg did not take advantage, and Beta, Compaq and Baker made tackles and blocks, so that they could not have a shot that hit the woodwork!
Today's football commentator on Germany's first channel is Garcia, who can't help but complain: "Hoffenheim's players are a little substandard today, Hamburg is currently in the upper hand, I'm afraid their suppression of Hoffenheim's half will continue for a long time." ”
But it didn't take long for him to be dumbfounded!
Hoffenheim has scored!
What's the situation?
Garcia saw very clearly, Hoffenheim made a simple counterattack, and it was also the first time they entered the Hamburg penalty area after the opening, but they actually scored!
The initiator was Beta, who cut off Pietroipa's pass in the box and sent the ball forward with a long ball.
Beta's long pass is actually practiced well, but it is not stable, and it is a bit spicy to use in such a fierce field as the Bundesliga.
However, Salihovic was on the left side of the halfway line and there were no Hamburg players around him, so when Beta's pass came, he ran a few steps forward to control the pass that was not accurate enough.
The next attack had nothing to do with Beta, it was Salihovic who passed the ball into the box, Eduardo received it, and then a clever cross found Obasi in the gap!
I don't know if it was too smooth to start, and the players in Hamburg were not mentally prepared for Hoffenheim's attack. They actually defended the leaky people! Without a Hamburg defender in front of him, Obsi unceremoniously stabbed the shot.
1:0!
Not to mention Garcia's confusion, the players of Obasi and Hoffenheim were unprepared for this goal.
“goooooooooal!” It was the on-site commentary that inspired the enthusiasm of more than 26,000 Hoffenheim fans. The deafening cheers followed the excited Eduardo and Salihovic, and hugged the wide-mouthed Obsi tightly!
"I, I have to say, the defenders of Hamburg were careless!" Garcia smiled wryly, feeling that he was going to be called "Crow's Mouth" again after the game (huh, why "again"?). "Obasi's goal was so easy that they couldn't even imagine it. ”
It's hard to imagine!
However, with this goal, the once high-spirited super promoted horse is back!
The self-confident Hoffenheim players were not suppressed by Hamburg as they did at the beginning, and they gradually organized their attacks, and there was a five-to-five situation on the field.
In the thirteenth minute, Hoffenheim's attack almost resulted in another goal. Demba Ba's shot was deflected out by Hamburg's veteran goalkeeper Frank Rost and Obbasi grabbed the spot, but his follow-up shot missed the line.
"Obasi's ability to grab points in front of goal is still a little worse than Ibisevic's." Garcia said lamentedly, "If it was Ibisevic, he would have scored this goal." ”
Indeed, now Obasi is also starting to be able to score, but compared to Ibisevic, his ability to grasp such opportunities is still a lot worse! Although the Hoffenheim fans don't say it, they still miss Ibisevic in their hearts.
……
A few defensive mistakes in the opening game made Martin Joel jump to his feet in annoyance: "Raise your attention and look at the opponent in every penalty area!" ”
In order to reduce the threat of Beta's header to the back line - mainly a deterrent, most teams have used blood and tears to show that Beta is in the Hoffenheim team, they almost dare not make too much movement near their own penalty area - Martin Joel is to increase the height of the team, but also sacrifice the team's flexibility!
With a dexterous player like Eduardo cutting inside, Hamburg's backcourt would have to send two or three men to flank him, otherwise, in a one-on-one situation, either the tall Reinhardt or Demel would have to be teased by Eduardo.
And it is not the veteran Reinhardt who is more likely to have problems, it is the big black Godemer of Ivory Coast, Joel asked him to mark Obasi, but Demer is a little sluggish, moves very slowly laterally, and is often led by Obasi.
"Wouldn't it be better to put on Boateng?" Martin Joel is a little sorry to have sent Demer.
However, he is still a little hesitant, because Boateng is still a rookie, and Boateng, who is only a year older than Beta, has been in a fluctuating state, especially after suffering a minor injury at the beginning of the season, and his performance is even worse. Joel also used Boateng off the bench for the most part, losing his starting spot.
Of course, Joel still feels that Boateng's comprehensive ability is better than Demer's, and the only thing he lacks is experience.
There would certainly not have been such an early substitution in the first half, Martin Joel was still watching, but he didn't expect Hoffenheim to take advantage of this weakness in their defence and continue to score, but Hamburg equalized first!
