Chapter Seventy-Seven: Rejoice, We've Win!
readx;
After the game restarted, Chu Zhongtian put all his attention on Schmelzer while completing his own work. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Schmelzer is only 21 years old and plays at left wing-back, a young star that Dortmund has cultivated themselves. Chu Zhongtian didn't know much about him, and he couldn't talk about likes and dislikes. But from what happened just now, Chu Zhongtian could see that this kid had a kind of cleverness and cunning that young people have.
He both took a covert revenge on Weiss and escaped punishment. This must be a "brilliant record" for him to brag about after the game, right?
But it's a pity, lad. You're framing my teammates.
Weiss's side happened to be Schmelzer's wing, Weiss was sent off, and Eduardo was urgently transferred to the right. But after all, he is not a good defensive player, so Schmelzer is much more active than Weiss when he is there, he can insert assists frequently, Eduardo's defense on this side is not worth mentioning at all, and Dortmund also uses this side as the main attack.
However, this is also in line with Chu Zhongtian's intentions, because Weiss was sent off, he needs to often make up for the right side, just against Schmelzer.
Schmelzer received a pass from a team-mate, he dribbled forward, and Eduardo's defense was like a show, and he easily passed it.
Next, he faced Chu Zhongtian.
He wanted to turn the ball to the outside and then accelerate past Hoffenheim's number eight. But he miscalculated, Chu Zhongtian stretched out his foot suddenly, just in front of the football, and at the same time, Schmelzer also stretched out his foot to pluck the ball. The two men came to the side once on the side.
With a bang, Chu Zhongtian didn't move at all, and Schmelzer turned over and met Chu Zhongtian's side under the impetus of inertia, and then fell behind him, what about football? Still honestly stopped where it was.
Schmelzer waved his hand to complain to the referee, because he clearly remembered that Chu Zhongtian had a yellow card in the first four minutes, and as long as he got another yellow card, he would be sent off again! With two men missing, Hoffenheim will certainly not be a match for Borussia Dortmund at home.
He thought so, but the referee ignored him, just hooked his hand and signaled him to hurry up, and then ran forward - Hoffenheim's counterattack had already begun, and if he didn't go up, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see clearly.
Schmelzer stared at Chu Zhongtian's back and clenched his fists.
He already had a plan in his heart, if he wanted to insert assists frequently, he would find trouble with Chu Zhongtian, and he didn't believe that under his constant impact, this person would still be able to hold on. That person already had a yellow card, and either he was sent off for a foul on himself, or he shrank back in the face of himself and was easily broken by himself.
It's a sure-fire deal.
β»β»β» Dortmund, who were equalized, could not accept the fate of being forced to draw, just like the Hoffenheim players chanted at halftime, "You can lose to anyone, you can't lose to Dortmund", and they also thought in their hearts, "Whoever draws at home, you just can't be forced to draw by this team from the countryside!" β
Under the guidance of such ideas, Schmelzer's side was particularly active.
Schmelzer rushed up again, this time with Tinga in the ribs, and he ran up to pull the side.
Tinga faced the frontal defense of Chu Zhongtian and Comper, and there was no possibility of breaking through and shooting, so he passed the football to Schmelzer on the side.
In the face of Beck, Schmelzer made a feint to break through to the bottom line, and after deceiving Beck to move his center of gravity to the bottom line, he slammed the football and wanted to cut inside to break through to the penalty area!
He thought he had managed to fool the Hoffenheim defence, but just after he got the ball over and caught it off the ground, his ball was tackled, and it landed right at Baker's feet.
Schmelzer fixed his eyes - it was Chu Zhongtian again!
However, he didn't have time to look too closely, and he was taken to the ground by Chu Zhongtian. This time he screamed, and it sounded as if Chu Zhongtian had shoveled his ankle.
But the referee still didn't say anything. He saw very clearly that Chu Zhongtian first shoveled the football, and then couldn't stop the car, and took down Schmelzer by the way, and he could have avoided it completely, but he didn't do anything, and was knocked to the ground like that.
Of course, the referee couldn't blow such an action, and he also knew that Chu Zhongtian had a yellow card on him. Unless it's a foul that has to be drawn, he'll be very cautious. He's already played twice in this game, so he's going to have to be more cautious.
Of course, Chu Zhongtian knew that he didn't foul this ball, but he was also happy to see it happen when he bumped into Schmelzer at the end, otherwise he could have retracted it a little and wouldn't hit it head-on.
Don't look at it as a foul, Schmelzer was hit in a bit of pain. Of course, it was all a hard injury, it hurt at the time, and it was fine after a while.
Chu Zhongtian wanted to let Schmelzer know that there was a way to rectify him if he didn't foul.
When he was playing at Wimbledon, the referee's decision in the amateur game was not rigorous, and everyone played the ball with great action. He was followed by the team's veteran Keith, who had been experienced in the lower leagues. Ward has learned how to teach lessons even without fouling.
These moves have rarely been used since he came out of Wimbledon, after all, they are not above board. Everyone is facing each other in a dignified manner, you treat me as an opponent, and I also treat you as an opponent, giving you the respect of an opponent. This is the battle between men.
But if someone wants to play yin in front of him, he doesn't mind teaching the other party a lesson in this way.
Schmelzer grinned and got up from the ground, this time he was really hit in pain, he angrily waved his arms at the referee and roared: "He really kicked me!" He really kicked me! β
The referee ignored him, Chu Zhongtian ignored him, and Baker kicked the football to the front a long time ago, and everyone ran away.
Hoffenheim seized the opportunity of Schmelzer's frequent assists and did not go back, and also took this as the main direction of attack.
Seeing that Schmelzer was still complaining about the referee in front, Dortmund's head coach Klopp yelled at him: "Back to defense! Schmelzer, back to defense!! β
β»β»β»In the eighty-first minute, Schmelzer came up with the ball again, and this time he still faced Chu Zhongtian. He still wanted to come to Chu Zhongtian for trouble, he didn't believe that he couldn't fight this player who had a yellow card on his body, and it stands to reason that he should shrink his hands and have scruples...... But his breakthrough with the ball made Chu Zhongtian shovel it down in one time. Baker and Chu Zhongtian cooperated tacitly here, Chu Zhongtian shoveled the ball here, and Baker immediately caught the ball. Then, while Schmelzer was still lying on the ground and raised his hand in protest, Chu Zhongtian had quickly got up and ran forward along the side road.
Baker passed the ball to centre-back Comper, who pressed up. Camper passed the ball to Eduardo in front of him β and the Brazilian was in the middle. And in this series of passing processes, Chu Zhongtian has been rushing forward, here Kyle was sent off, Schmelzer is still complaining about the injustice he has suffered, it is simply a highway that does not jam traffic at all!
When Chu Zhongtian ran to the 30-meter area, Eduardo distributed the football to the wing.
Borussia Dortmund defender Felipe. Santana had to come in to fill Schmelzer's place.
Facing this Brazilian central defender, Chu Zhongtian directly passed the football sideways and continued to run forward.
Ibisevic, who received Chu Zhongtian's pass in the middle, did not stop the ball, but directly stuffed the football diagonally, two over one!
Chu Zhongtian burst into the forbidden area!
"Chu Zhongtian has entered! Nice fit! The Dortmund side of the defense is completely empty! He can shoot straight at goal......"
Dortmund's penalty area was in chaos after Chu Zhongtian received the ball for the second time.
Santana came to block Chu Zhongtian, Subotic also came to block Chu Zhongtian, plus Tinga who was chasing behind, Chu Zhongtian was like a magnet, attracting three Dortmund defenders. He has three men here, which means that Dortmund will not defend as well elsewhere...... So Chu Zhongtian didn't shoot directly, but swept the football away from before Subotic and Tinga!
One kick back!
Ibisevic, who had just made a wall for Chu Zhongtian, happened to shoot the horse, and he didn't even have a Dortmund defender on his side, two central defenders and a midfielder were attracted to Chu Zhongtian's side, and the right wing-back Owomoyela was killed by Demba. Ba pinned down, and left wing-back Schmelzer had just run back into midfield...... Chu Zhongtian's kick was very comfortable, Ibisevic ran head-on, there was no need to adjust at all, all he had to do was pick up his right leg and kick it out towards the football!
"Ibisevic! Shot-"
When Wei denfeller passed the ball in Chu Zhongtian, he quickly moved to the middle, but he didn't expect that Ibisevic pushed in the direction he was in before he came, he passed by the football, and it was too late to fall to the ground to pounce, and the football flew into the goal from the palm of his hand!
"The ball is in!! Super Ebi scored twice! β
βgooooalοΌοΌ Ibisevic's second goal of the game! His twenty-third goal of the whole season!! That terrifying 'Super Ibi' has been resurrected! And the person who brought this monster back to life was - Chu! With two brilliant assists in a row, he directed Hoffenheim's comeback in the second half! β
The Dortmund players who lost the ball all watched in a daze as Ibisevic pounced on Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian withdrew from the encirclement after passing the ball, and then stood in front of the billboard and waited for Ibisevic to pounce.
The two of them hugged each other again.
"Well done, Ibi!"
"It's beautiful, Chu!"
This attack was not rehearsed many times before the game, and the two men did not discuss it, it was entirely due to the tacit understanding of Metz working together for two and a half seasons. When Ibisevic saw Chu Zhongtian running forward, he knew what to do. He didn't have a demba like him. Ba rushed into the penalty area like that, ready to receive Chu Zhongtian's cross and head the goal. Instead, he stopped on the line of the big penalty area, half-turned and leaned on the defender Dortmund's central defender Santana, facing Chu Zhongtian, waiting for Chu Zhongtian to pass the ball to him.
Sure enough, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball over, and after receiving the ball, he didn't even look up at the situation on Chu Zhongtian's side and pushed the football over. In this case, Chu Zhongtian must have asked him to do a two-by-one collision with the wall, otherwise Chu Zhongtian would not pass this kind of ball that made him unable to turn around, in this case, if he had to force a turn, it would be a waste of an offensive opportunity.
The defenders are used to paying attention to football, and Chu Zhongtian's pass attracted the defenders' attention to Ibisevic's own side, so Chu Zhongtian must have space in front of him.
With this in mind, Ibisevic passed the ball over.
Sure enough, there was a vacancy ahead, and Santana, who was defending himself, also threw himself down to fight Chu Zhongtian. At this time, he can easily complete the turn and run without being marked and interfered with, and because the ball is at Chu Zhongtian's feet, no one will notice him, and he can do anything at this time.
Seeing that there were more and more Dortmund players around Chu Zhongtian, and then looking at the huge space around him, if Ibisevic didn't know what he should do, he wouldn't be worthy of being a striker, so he didn't hesitate to insert it.
At this time, it depends on what the tacit understanding between him and Chu Zhongtian is.
Of course, there is nothing to worry about.
So he ran forward, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball back, and one person and one ball met in the most suitable position, and then the ball flew into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller...... β»β»β»"2:1!! Hoffenheim lead home team Borussia Dortmund away from home! If this score is maintained to halftime, then then Borussia Dortmund's unbeaten home record this season will be a thing of the past! β
The commentators got excited, as did the Dortmund fans in the stands, who were yelling at the Hoffenheim players.
The Hoffenheim fans chanted "Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! Our Hoffenheim! β
They changed the lyrics and sang, "Legion of Bitch!" Legion of Bitches! Your army of bitches! β
The security police at the scene were like a great enemy. It looks like the beams of these two teams are getting bigger and bigger...... After seeing that his team was ahead, Rangnick did not ask the team to shrink the defense, he shouted Chu Zhongtian from the sidelines, and then shouted at him: "Press up, press the defense all over the court!" β
His intention is clear, which is to use this kind of pressing in the front court to compress the space for Dortmund's attack, so that their football cannot play half the court. The farther away the ball is from Hoffenheim's goal, the safer it is.
Hoffenheim's football has always been like this, with a fast pace and aggressive tackling, often making it difficult for opponents to get around in front of them. They will press all the way to the edge of the opponent's penalty area, and once they grab the ball, they will counter-attack on the spot, catching the opponent off guard.
That's why Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp will say Hoffenheim are "fierce in the scramble", while the Hamburg player says that Hoffenheim's players "run like savages and run all over the field". Such a tactic must have a good physical foundation, and Rangnick has always been very strict with the team's physical requirements, his training intensity is the highest in the whole Bundesliga, without physical strength, Hoffenheim will not be able to stick to it.
Hoffenheim's ability to bombard the opposition box and score goals in the closing stages of the game is a clear proof of their fitness. In the last game, Stuttgart suffered a loss, and by the time of injury time, most of Stuttgart's players could not run, and Hoffenheim's players were still alive, among which Chu Zhongtian was the representative of the leader, and it was his last-minute breakthrough with the ball that earned the team a penalty.
Borussia Dortmund were desperate for an equaliser and Hoffenheim's siege tactics made it hard for them. Although they knew that Hoffenheim had a large open field at the back, the football could not be transmitted. With a long ball with a big foot, a striker has to face the defense of two defenders, and it is not without strikers who can score more with less in the absence of support, but Dortmund does not have it today.
However, Hoffenheim even calmly overwhelmed the midline near the back line, with Chu Zhongtian as the core, back and forth, Chu Zhongtian ran from the left side of the field to the right, from the front to the back, constantly mobilizing Dortmund's backline to look for opportunities.
Seeing that the hope of winning the game was getting slimmer and slimmer, the Dortmund player simply vented his anger on the knee of the opposing player.
Salihovic was pushed to the ground by the opponent after receiving the ball, and when he fell to the ground, the knee of his support leg was twisted, and he fell to the ground and could not get up, and the team doctor decided to replace him after examination. Head coach Rangnick had to replace Salihovic with Tebel, with Eduardo on the left and Tebel on the right.
Despite the injury to the big player at the end of the game, Hoffenheim held on to the advantage of this one goal.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Chu Zhongtian happened to be in possession of the ball, and he kicked the ball into the stands. Then clench your fists and reach out to the sky - win!
"It's over! The score is 1:2! Borussia Dortmund 1, Hoffenheim 2! The only two teams that have gone unbeaten at home this season have met and now only one remains...... Hoffenheim beat Borussia Dortmund away from home and also broke the opponent's unbeaten home record! Hoffenheim are the only team to have scored at Westphalia so far this season! β
"There were 78,800 spectators at the Westphalen Stadium today, including about 74,000 home fans. So many people wanted to witness Dortmund's great victory over the league leaders, but they didn't expect to see their home ground lose for the first time......"
Chu Zhongtian's two assists helped Ibisevic get out of the goal drought, and these two goals also gave the team a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Chu Zhongtian's performance this time is very good! The only pity is that he will not be able to play in the next game, and Hoffenheim's opponent in the next game is the mighty Werder Bremen! β
"Hoffenheim and Dortmund After a fierce battle, Hoffenheim finally beat Dortmund in the game. But who is the happiest person to say? It must not be Rangnick, but Bremen's manager Schaaf. Hoffenheim host Bremen in the next round of the league, but their two big men in midfield, Chu and Weiss, will be out due to suspension. Another man, Salihovic, was taken off the pitch before the game with an injury that is not yet known, and if it is serious, he will miss the match against Bremen. The best and most consistent performance this season is Hoffenheim's midfield, and now the three main players in the midfield can't play the next game, and it will be very difficult to win against Bremen, even at home......"
Indeed, although he won against Dortmund, he paid such a heavy price that coach Rangnick couldn't laugh.
But looking at the players who were still celebrating the victory, he thought again - forget it, let's talk about the next round. It's time to celebrate the victory, we won the most terrifying home stadium in the Bundesliga!
He opened his arms and rushed towards the happy teammates.
"Cheer, we've won!!"
