Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping for a first-half draw, which would boost their hopes of winning this game, and if they can't, they can take a point. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the opening shot, they recycled all over the line and put on a stubborn posture, as if they wanted to block Hoffenheim's attack with such a bucket formation.

Yang Chen shook his head in the commentary seat, his Frankfurt was not like this at that time. Although it is still relegated every year, at least it will not be so timid.

Hoffenheim's follow-up counterattack made Eintracht Frankfurt even more determined to defend the strategy.

In the twelfth minute, Chu Zhongtian suddenly stepped forward with the ball and killed the front of the opponent's penalty area. Even the commentator Duan Bin thought that Chu Zhongtian would pass the ball, but he came up with a long shot twenty-five meters away from the goal, and the football was only slightly off. Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Nikolov (oka_nikolov) was so frightened that he got up from the ground and yelled at his teammates: "How can you give him such a big space?" What about your people?! ”

In the face of his accusations, the defenders were speechless. They did make a mistake. Seeing Chu Zhongtian running wildly with the ball, his first reaction was who he would pass the ball to, so all his attention was on searching for the person who might have received the pass and posed a threat to the goal. retreated vigorously, but forgot to rush forward, but was exploited by Chu Zhongtian.

The next game was completely under Hoffenheim's control, Eintracht Frankfurt couldn't even attack the opponent's 30-meter area, and Chu Zhongtian performed impeccable in attack and defense.

In the 21st minute, he distributed the ball to the wing, and right-back Baker cut in to receive the ball and pretended to continue to break through, but he pulled the ball back with his right foot, and then turned and crossed with his left foot. Ibisevic received the ball down the middle and turned to shoot, but centre-back BlackRock (habib_bellaid) fell to the ground to block it.

However, the football was not kicked out of the danger zone, the football fell to the left, and Salihovic followed up with a push, this time the football was blocked by Ruth, who was the starting midfielder of the game. Their other centre-back, Galindo, rushed up and kicked the ball off the touchline with a big kick.

Hoffenheim's offensive was over.

Goalkeeper Nikolov had already lost his position, and if it weren't for the help of the centre-backs he had scolded before, the goal would have been lost.

After getting up, Nikolov patted BlackRock, then Ruth and Galindo, thanking them for stepping up at the critical moment.

At this time, he didn't remember that he had scolded his teammates just nine minutes ago.

After a stalemate in midfield, Eintracht Frankfurt seemed to have the idea of counter-attacking. But this idea was soon ruthlessly stifled by Chu Zhongtian.

Young German midfielder Toski (faton_toski) is moving forward with the ball and lacks support around him, but he is undaunted and wants to change the situation for his team with his individual qualities.

It's a pity that he was tackled by Chu Zhongtian in the process of dribbling the ball. The referee gave Chu Zhongtian a verbal warning, but Toski thought that he should at least eat a card, no matter what color it was. The referee didn't say anything, just motioned for Eintracht Frankfurt to take a free-kick.

Although Chu Zhongtian suffered a foul, Eintracht Frankfurt's loss was even greater - what was supposed to be a good counter-attack opportunity turned into a free kick 50 meters from goal...... In the 35th minute, Hoffenheim also won a free kick. Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball 25 meters in front of the Eintracht Frankfurt goal and was retaliated by Toski and tackled to the ground.

This time Toski got his wish, and the referee finally took out a card, but it was not for Chu Zhongtian, but for him.

He was unhappy with the referee's decision.

The Chinese and German commentators, however, thought that his dissatisfaction was very unreasonable.

'It was a clear retaliation foul. If the referee doesn't take out the cards, I'm afraid that the game will eventually become a vicious circle of you retaliating against me and I retaliating against you. ”

'Fleischer was right. Toski should have kept his emotions in check. ”

Salihovic took the direct free-kick from 25 yards out, but this time he didn't threaten the opposition goal as the ball flew high over the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Dengba. After Ba retreated at the front of the penalty area and received Chu Zhongtian's pass, he turned and brought forward, facing Ruth's defense, and the two collided. But he still poked the ball out and passed it to Salihovic, who was nearby. Salihovic's left-footed shot from inside the penalty area was saved by goalkeeper Nikolov but the ball flew past him and into the goal!

Salihovich ...... The ball is in! The ball is in! In the 35th minute, Hoffenheim attacked wildly for 35 minutes and finally scored...... Huh? Wait a minute...... Wait a minute...... What is it? Foul? Judging by the gestures of the referee...... Yes! He gave Hoffenheim an offensive foul! "Duan Bin was quite excited at first, but now it's like someone poured cold water on his head." Let's take a look at the replay ......"

The replay given by the German side was not Salihovic's shot, but Demba. Ba and Ruth collided with a scene full of arms. Looks like there's the problem.

"Ah...... The referee awarded Demba. Ba dribbled the ball into a foul, so the goal after that was invalidated. What a shame......"

Although the goal was whistled, the Hoffenheim players did not protest around the referee.

With so many chances to threaten the Eintracht Frankfurt goal in the first half, they didn't think a problem winning this one.

It's no wonder that Hoffenheim's players have such confidence, they are completely dominant on the pitch, and Eintracht Frankfurt have only had one shot on goal so far, which was created by using the kick-off right at the start of the game. After that, the old team of the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt, who had won the UEFA Cup and the European Champions Cup, was beaten by a promoted horse who participated in the Bundesliga for the first time.

Eintracht Frankfurt fans were unhappy with the team's performance. They braved the cold rain to drive from Frankfurt to Mannheim, just to see their team beaten all over the ground?

The men booed loudly from the stands.

But no matter how unhappy they are, it will do little to help the team improve the situation on the field.

In the forty-fifth minute, just as the first half was about to end, Chu Zhongtian made a sudden straight plug in the front court. Ba successfully countered offside and burst into the penalty area to form a one-on-one momentum and then shoot. The ball was blocked by goalkeeper Nikolov's foot...... The referee's whistle also sounded, because the game went well, so there was not a minute of stoppage time, and the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the first half when the time was forty-five minutes.

'Hoffenheim had a lot of chances in the first half and I can't count how many times they threatened the Eintracht Frankfurt goal. It seemed that Hoffenheim would only be a matter of time before they broke the Eintracht Frankfurt goal. Unfortunately, they didn't score in the first 45 minutes of the first half......"

At the end of the first half, Eintracht Frankfurt really held on to the 0-0 scoreline, and their manager Ursula Von Kel was so happy that he stayed on the sidelines when the players came off the pitch, hugging them one by one in the rain. Although the Eintracht fans in the stands were booing him and his players.

β€»β€»β€» "You guys did a great job! It was the first thing the two managers said to their players when they returned to the dressing room.

Both managers praised his players. Eintracht Frankfurt's manager was motivated by the fact that his players were holding on to the draw, as he said, which would have made him look comfortable with second-half tactics.

Rangnick praised the players because they had the upper hand in the first half, and if such a performance did not deserve praise, then the team would lose momentum.

"It's just a pity that our luck is a bit bad...... Rangnick reassured the player.

Their luck was really not good, and several must-score goals were magically blocked by the opponent.

'In the second half we had to keep playing like this and keep putting pressure on the other side. From the first minute of the game, the attack continued. Don't think about anything other than attacking until you score. ”

Attack is Hoffenheim's greatest weapon, and there are very few teams that can face this kind of sustained attack without collapsing - there is nothing great about continuous attack, but it is very important to continue to score goals. The goalkeeper has to pounce on the opponent's single knife every time, and after a long time, he will collapse psychologically. Once the goalkeeper's psychology collapses, he can't think of being able to keep the goal.

Hoffenheim's football is actually very simple, it is to use this fierce offensive to constantly impact the opponent's defense, and when the opponent can't resist it, it will completely collapse. You know what a tactic it is, but you just can't defend against it. That's the biggest headache for your opponents.

On Eintracht Frankfurt, Vonkel was setting up the tactics for the second half.

'In the second half we continued to defend and the next 10 minutes were important. Against Borussia Dortmund, they scored in the opening two minutes of the second half. So be careful with that. After the first fifteen minutes of the second half, they will get agitated and that's our chance to counter-attack! ”

As for dealing with Chu Zhongtian, Vonkel's tactic is the "wolf pack killing tactic", which is to use more than one person to take turns to foul Chu Zhongtian, so that he cannot continue to organize an effective offensive. Chu Zhongtian is Hoffenheim's brain, and disrupting his rhythm is equivalent to disrupting the offensive rhythm of the entire Hoffenheim team. Once Hoffenheim loses their attacking threat, the team will be just an ordinary promoted polo team, not even those promoted horses.

Vonkel's analysis of Hoffenheim is still very correct, Hoffenheim's ability to survive in the Bundesliga is fundamentally their attack, once their attack is blocked, the team will be beaten back to its original shape.

When the coaches of both sides used their last chance to adjust the team's tactics at halftime, it was still raining outside.

The crew of CCTV's "Football Night" program had already left the sidelines, and after the cameraman filmed a scene during the intermission, he put down the machine and stood in the tunnel to take shelter from the rain.

'Everything was fine in the first half except that there were no goals. The cameraman wiped the rain from his face and took the hot coffee that was handed at the same time.

"I'm a little worried that Hoffenheim will take advantage of the opportunity in the second half if they continue to attack like this...... "The reporter is not optimistic." There are a lot of examples of players taking advantage of the first half and causing the players to be careless and then the opponent counter-attacking and scoring the goal......"

At the same time, Duan Bin was also chatting with Yang Chen about this topic: If Hoffenheim continued to attack like this in the second half and couldn't open the situation, would Frankfurt be waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack?

Duan Bin was a little worried, but Yang Chen had confidence in Hoffenheim. So Duan Bin made a joke about Yang Chen: "If you let the Frankfurt fans know about your attitude, I really don't know what they will think." ”

Yang Chen smiled: "I'm a Hoffenheim fan now." Their football looks better. ”

β€»β€»β€» Emily is quite satisfied with Hoffenheim's performance in the first half, Chu Zhongtian's performance is also very good, if she looks at it from the perspective of a professional fan, except for the lack of goals, it is really an impeccable half. Hoffenheim far surpassed Eintracht Frankfurt in terms of possession, shots on goal, dangerous shots, and 30 metres into the opposition's area, and as long as the Hoffenheim players did not make mistakes and played like this in the second half, it was only a matter of time before they won.

She was in a good mood in the first half.

Before going on the pitch, Eintracht Frankfurt's head coach told his players one last time: "Come up in the second half and defend and keep their attack!" "He stood at the door of the dressing room and slapped the shoulders and backs of the players who went out one by one to remind them.

On the other hand, Rangnick is emphasizing the importance of attacking to his players: "Attack, attack as soon as you come up!" ”

When the players came out, it was still raining for the day, but it was a little lighter.

Chu Zhongtian beckoned everyone to gather around.

"Listen to me, brothers. We kicked off in the second half and it was a chance. We're going to take this opportunity and give it to our opponents. Remember how they dealt with us in the first half? Chu Zhongtian looked at his teammates left and right and said.

Everyone nodded.

They certainly remember that it was the only chance of the first half for Eintracht Frankfurt.

'They expected us to attack, so they definitely tightened the defence, like they did in the first half. But we're still going to attack! Defeat them with what we do best! So after kick-off, everybody runs forward and I'll organise the attack. ”

β€»β€»β€»The second half of the game began with the whistle of the referee Fleischer.

Ibisevic kicked the ball out, and the ball was passed directly to Chu Zhongtian's feet, Chu Zhongtian didn't pass the ball immediately, he turned and took it back, and at the same time observed whether the two fullbacks were inserted.

Both Beck and Ibertsberger went up. He turned around and met no obstacles. Eintracht Frankfurt's players did not rush up and they followed the manager's half-time instructions - to hold out for the first ten minutes of the second half.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know what the Frankfurt coach said specifically, looking at the dense defense in front, Chu Zhongtian felt that it might not work just by passing. This is where the role of personal dribbling comes in.

To break through such a dense defense, to break the balance, a breakthrough is a good way.

Chu Zhongtian made up his mind and glanced up at the two side roads. Beck and Ibertsberger were able to intervene in a timely manner to attract the attention of Frankfurt, who had been concentrated in the middle and now had to dedicate some of their forces to the flanks.

This is a great opportunity to break through the middle.

Chu Zhongtian took the football forward, then caught up with the football in great strides, and took another step. It only took two steps to cross the halfway line.

Frankfurt saw Chu Zhongtian dribbling the ball over the halfway line, and he didn't rush up to force it. Eintracht Frankfurt's players thought so - his breakthrough must have been an illusion, just to entice him to go up and steal, and once he went up to tackle, he fell for him, and he would immediately pass the empty space behind him.

So the players in Frankfurt didn't come up to grab it, anyway, they stood in a defensive position, this goal is simply an impermeable wall, even if he is skilled, can he compare to Ronaldinho, break through in the gap like no one?

He can't, so what are we afraid of?

Chu Zhongtian did have this idea before-to use his breakthrough to attract the opponent's defenders to come out to defend himself, so he pulled out the gap. But the Eintracht Frankfurt player was not fooled, so he continued to break forward, and he did not give up if he did not dribble the ball in front of the opponent's goal.

"Chu Zhongtian broke through with the ball!!" Seeing this exciting scene, Duan Bin shouted.

When Chu Zhongtian crossed the middle circle, he encountered interception for the first time. Striker Fenin from Eintracht Frankfurt. Chu Zhongtian didn't let him get close, and took advantage of the fact that he had already run to change direction and accelerate, shaking off Fei Ning, who was turning.

Then he rushed into the 30-metre zone in one go, and the Eintracht Frankfurt players could no longer do anything. Junichi Inamoto and Ruth rushed up almost at the same time.

Chu Zhongtian used his right foot to dunk the football to the left, dodging Ruth's steal, and then facing Junichi Inamoto's steal, he couldn't dodge it anymore.

But Chu Zhongtian didn't want to give up the idea of letting the other party grab the ball. He was no longer able to keep the ball on, but he was still able to defend the ball. So he took a big step with his left foot, and then turned sideways, grabbing the football before Junichi Inamoto, who crashed into it from behind, and didn't have time to brake, knocking Chu Zhongtian to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Junichi Inamoto fouled!"

Junichi Inamoto did commit a foul, but this was a foul that Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to find. Just look at Junichi Inamoto's expression, after the referee blew him for a foul, he had a very helpless expression on his face, and waved his hand with a wry smile. He didn't mean to foul, it was completely Chu Zhongtian who bumped into it himself...... But there is no justification for this.

Hoffenheim won a free-kick down the middle.

Salihovic took the penalty and his free-kick bounced off the wall.

Fortunately, Salihovic was quick and passed the bounced football to Weiss on the wing. Weiss receives the ball and passes the ball into the right side of the box. Hoffenheim's chain of transfers was so quick and unexpected that Eintracht Frankfurt was completely stunned by their quick shift. When Demba. When Ba received a pass from Weiss on the right side of the box, there was not a single Eintracht Frankfurt player around.

"Demba. Ba Dan knife! ”

Nikolov didn't bother complaining at this time that the defenders didn't provide him with enough protection, and hurriedly abandoned the goal.

Demba. Ba didn't shoot, he crossed it!

It was Ibisevic who picked up in the middle, but Eintracht Frankfurt's centre-back BlackRock didn't give Ibisevic a chance to shoot, and he got ahead of Ibisevic to keep the ball out.

Don't think that Hoffenheim's offensive ended here, when everyone focused on the door, Chu Zhongtian had already killed in. The ball that BlackRock blocked landed right at his feet!

"Chu Zhongtian!!" Duan Bin saw the football fall at Chu Zhongtian's feet, so he screamed. He's ready.

Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball to adjust, nor did he hesitate, when the football fell, he stretched out his foot and flicked it...... The football rolled between BlackRock and Nikolov into the goal...... "Good shot!" The ball is in! The ball is in!! Duan Bin's prepared cry could finally be released.

"Less than two minutes into the second half, Chu Zhongtian scored!! Hoffenheim takes the lead! ”
