Bout got to the crux of the matter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
This key is so easy to find, everyone can find it. It's not the ability to find this, but the real ability is how to curb the play of this key person.
When any team is against Hoffenheim, they will be the first to study Chu Zhongtian. Everyone knows that freezing Chu Zhongtian can make Hoffenheim's attack lose momentum.
But the question is, how can you freeze him?
He has strong running ability, excellent physical fitness, a large range of motion, and at the same time, he is well-rounded, and can pass, shoot and lead. It's hard to guard against a player like this one-on-one. If you send a few more people to defend, the defense in other places will be lax, after all, there are only eleven people on the field, and if there are more people here, there will naturally be fewer other places.
If you talk about foul tactics, Hoffenheim have a free kick master, Salihovic. Moreover, Chu Zhongtian is physically strong, and ordinary fouls are not effective against him at all, and if he is too fierce, he will incur a yellow card or even a red card for himself.
The most desperate thing is that such a brilliant player almost never gets injured. Generally talented players are always knocked down by things off the football pitch when they have no solution, injuries and personalities. In terms of personality, Chu Zhongtian has all the character traits that a successful person should have, he is so strong, does not admit defeat, and is serious. Injuries rarely come to him, he is twenty-seven years old, but he has not suffered any injuries that have seriously affected his career. Look at Ronaldo, who is talented but can't be the king of the ball because of injuries. There is also Kaka, who amazed the world football world when he first debuted, 2007 was his peak year, but at the age of twenty-eight, he lost his previous sharpness due to injury, and the previous world football was him, Messi and Cristiano. Ronaldo is the world of three people, and now he has taken a back seat, and the peak is left to Messi and C. Ronaldo.
Chu Zhongtian is almost a perfect fighter. To say that his only drawback is that he has not played for a big team, which makes his performance unconvincing. But what is it, and that again does not determine his performance in the game. Chu Zhongtian in the competition was almost impeccable.
Van Gaal's tactics for Chu Zhongtian are man-to-man defense, so that Timoshchuk can follow Chu Zhongtian inch by inch, he can only do this step, what else? Let two people defend against him? Then there will be vacancies in other places, and Chu Zhongtian is a player who is very good at taking advantage of these vacancies.
Timoshchuk, on the other hand, has his own understanding on the basis of Van Gaal. He felt that he couldn't stop Chu Zhongtian with such a defense alone, in fact, he didn't want to stop Chu Zhongtian, since Chu Zhongtian was the core of Hoffenheim's offense and was in control of the rhythm, then simply let him lose his rhythm. Frequent fouls can do this, and as long as you are in control, you can interrupt Hoffenheim's attack without having to take cards.
Tymoshchuk began to foul Chu Zhongtian frequently. Some balls, obviously not grabbed, have to pounce on them and hit them from behind. In fact, many fouls could not have any impact on Chu Zhongtian at all, but they were indeed fouls, the referee blew the whistle, and the offense was suspended.
Regarding the referee's "kindness", Chu Zhongtian was a little helpless. Because it's really a disadvantage......" Timoshchuk rushed into Chu again! Chu still passed the football out...... Strike! Ibisevic received the ball and he had a chance...... Wait a minute! The referee's whistle sounded again! β
Boos erupted in the stands, Hoffenheim's attack was interrupted again, and the great opportunity was gone, could they not be angry?
Chu Zhongtian stood up from the ground, stretched out his hands to the referee and asked him in English: "Isn't this advantageous for attack?" β
Ibisevic couldn't understand the referee's decision either, and he kicked the ball out of the way. This action led to a yellow card for him. The boos in the stands suddenly became louder.
Referee Rangnick also questioned the appropriateness of the referee's decision by the fourth official below: "Attacking should be encouraged, not stopped at this critical time!" β
"Why do I think we're playing more away from home?" Chu Zhongtian continued to question the referee. "Either give him a card, or don't just blow off our offense in the future, Mr. Referee!"
Timoshchuk frequently fouled Chu Zhongtian, but it was not a very serious foul, so the referee only gave a verbal warning and did not play a card.
His questioning also drew him a yellow card.
Chu Zhongtian smiled bitterly and spread his hands and walked away, while the other Hoffenheim players surrounded him indignantly.
"The person who committed the foul does not have a yellow card, and you will get a yellow card when you question the offense, what is the reason?"
The commentator also felt that the referee's decision was debatable: "Even if this ball does not give Tymoshchuk a yellow card, it should not be a yellow card to Chu Zhongtian...... Looking at the reaction at the scene, his decision was really unreasonable......"
The happiest person is, of course, Bayern Munich's coach Louis van Gaal. He believes the clash can interfere with the emotions of the Hoffenheim players and affect their performance.
In the end, Tymoshchuk did not receive a yellow card, while Hoffenheim received two yellow cards, and with such reluctance, the game restarted.
The referee's approach did not control the situation on the field, but made the smell of gunpowder on the field stronger.
Timoshchuk was obviously encouraged by the referee, and he fouled Chu Zhongtian more in the following games, especially a lot of small actions.
But he was soon retributed. While he was getting the ball, Quaresma rushed up from behind and swept him to the ground with a slam kick, and Timoshchuk, who fell to the ground, screamed and looked in pain. Boos erupted in the stands, with fans believing he was faking a fall.
Quaresma received a yellow card for a deliberate retaliatory foul, and the fans in the stands were unhappy with the referee's string of penalties over the course of 10 minutes, with some booing and some scolding.
"Do your eyes go into the groove of your ass, Mr. Referee?"
"You bitch referee!!"
Van Gaal is happy to see this situation, and the more chaotic the scene, the better it is for them. If this mess continues, Hoffenheim will not be in the mood to play, but only think about how to retaliate, so that sooner or later they will be punished, and then the aggregate score will be behind, and the number of people will be small, and this game will not be able to be played.
Pep Guardiola saw this scene in the stands and bowed his head to quickly note something in his notebook. Obviously, this foul tactic gave him an inspiration, and if Hoffenheim finally reached the final, he could consider using this method to deal with Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian. And if Bayern Munich reach the final, they will have to be careful of how they use this tactic against their own midfielder Xavi.
β»β»β»At this time, Hoffenheim needs a core to stand up and stabilize everyone's military morale.
Chu Zhongtian is the right candidate.
Timoshchuk continued to make all sorts of small gestures against him, and his reaction was not to fall down exaggeratedly, and then to roll on the ground in pain with his ankles, knees or face, and occasionally peek through his fingers to see if the referee had pulled out a card.
He didn't do that, he had his own principle, which was not to fake.
He found that as long as he stopped to get the ball, he would give Timoshchuk the opportunity to make small moves, so the best thing to do was not to stop.
In terms of running ability, this is Chu Zhongtian's forte.
After passing the ball, he ran to the next point, and he kept running, never stopping.
Timoshchuk saw that Chu Zhongtian had stopped, and was just about to pounce on the close defense, but saw Chu Zhongtian run away again, and then his teammates passed the football to him, and he quickly passed it out again.
It was so fast that it didn't give him time to pounce at all.
Timoshchuk soon discovered that Chu Zhongtian was deliberately hiding from him.
Is this a scary?
But before it was over, Timoshchuk greeted Schweinsteiger and rushed forward.
Chu Zhongtian saw Timoshchuk coming up and made an unobtrusive gesture to Sana, Sana quickly stepped forward, Chu Zhongtian watched Timoshchuk rush up, and passed the football to Sana who was inserted forward, and then ran forward by himself.
How could Timoshchuk be so easily passed? He quickly turned around and thrust it from the side.
Despite this, he was still blocked by Chu Zhongtian. He's not afraid, this is his favorite position, a little action from behind, the referee, break the ball if you can't see it, foul when you can see it, anyway, it's not a too obvious foul, you shouldn't take out the card.
Sana turned his head to look at Chu Zhongtian and found that he was followed by that Timoshchuk, who was a little hesitant to pass the football to him. Chu Zhongtian was gesturing to him, motioning for him to pass it on to him.
Sana finally chose to believe in Chu Zhongtian's ability and passed the football over.
Chu Zhongtian had just received the ball, and instead of continuing to take it forward, he suddenly made an emergency stop.
Timoshchuk didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to do this, seeing that he was about to catch the ball, he also accelerated and rushed up, but now it was like hitting a wall...... Chu Zhongtian avoided him not because he was afraid of physical contact with him, but because he was afraid that the referee would cause chaos at a critical moment. If you fight physically, Chu Zhongtian is not afraid of anyone!
Chu Zhongtian's sudden stop made Timoshchuk unable to stop the car and hit it head-on.
Under the violent collision, Timoshchuk's center of gravity was a little unstable and tilted to the side, but Chu Zhongtian didn't have any problems, he didn't even shake it.
Knowing that he got rid of Timoshchuk, Chu Zhongtian accelerated the football out. After shaking off the annoying opponent, Chu Zhongtian slammed a ball over the top, and the ball fell to the feet of Quaresma, who was inserted on the right side.
The offensive situation was opened.
The attack calmed the hearts of the Hoffenheim players.
They know that their captain has a way to deal with each other.
Yes, Hoffenheim found a solution to the other side, and that is "maneuvering". Frequent interspersed runs made Tymoshchuk dare not leave his position easily, and the most important thing in the defense of the midfielder is not the marking, but the position. Chu Zhongtian's mobility made Timoshchuk dare not leave his position easily.
Just now, Chu Zhongtian was carried behind him because he pounced, and a penetrating pass came, which made Schweinsteiger very dissatisfied with Timoshchuk's impulsiveness. As a veteran player in the team, Schweinsteiger's criticism made Tymoshchuk not fail to listen.
Chu Zhongtian stepped back, after his range of movement was larger and his running was more flexible, Timoshchuk basically couldn't stop him.
The referee can no longer blow his whistle to interrupt his attack.
Hoffenheim's offensive was like lubricating oil, and it was smooth again.
After all, this is Hoffenheim's home turf, and once the attack is smooth, they regain the initiative.
β»β»β»After Guardiola saw that Timoshchuk could not contain Chu Zhongtian, he wrote and drew in his notebook. I don't know if this time he intends to improve Tymoshchuk's approach, or if he completely rejects this countermeasure...... As he lowered his head and wrote in his notebook, Hoffenheim launched a quick attack.
Ribery's dribbling in front of the court was cut off by Sana and Srna, Sana gave the football back to Srna, and Srna then passed directly diagonally to Chu Zhongtian, who responded in the middle.
Chu Zhongtian rushed forward with the football, because Bayern Munich had just carried out an attack, and most of the players were still in Hoffenheim's half at this time, and there were no others except for four defenders and a goalkeeper behind him, and the space was very large and many.
As soon as the fans saw the team play a quick counter-attack, they knew that the opportunity had come and cheered in the stands.
"Rush! Hoffenheim!! β
"It's Hoffenheim's chance to break fast! Chu rushed forward with the ball! Hoffenheim's players pressed forward very quickly! This is a full reflection of their characteristics! The narrator also became excited. This game has been played for almost 40 minutes, and there have been some twists and turns, but overall it has been calm, and there is nothing particularly exciting, which is related to Bayern Munich's strategy of seeking stability, and also related to the fact that the previous games were frequently interrupted due to Bayern Munich's fouls.
Chu Zhongtian rushed forward with the ball, raised his head and looked, next to him, Quaresma and Salihovic both rushed up, and the two people in front of him, Ibisevic and Obasi, were also actively interspersed and responded.
He made a feint to pass the ball to the side, deceived Schweinsteiger in front of him to deflect the center of gravity to the side, and then immediately drove the football straight out, and rushed over with his body brushing the opponent.
Because the distance was too close, Schweinsteiger didn't have time to react.
Timoshchuk caught up from the side, and as soon as he saw Chu Zhongtian playing the ball, he wanted to break it with his feet, and if he could break the ball, he could break the ball, and if he couldn't break it, he could also foul to end the attack, even if he got a yellow card, it was worth it. Who would have thought that Chu Zhongtian's movements were faster than him, and he rushed out the football before he tackled, and at the same time jumped up to avoid his tackle, and Timoshchuk shoveled it empty!
After passing two midfield defenders in a row, the current situation is very favorable for Hoffenheim, because Chu Zhongtian, who has the ball, directly faces the central defender. When the defender of the defending side is directly facing the opposing attacking player, it is already a very critical moment.
Now Chu Zhongtian has a lot of options, he can break into the penalty area with the ball by himself, or he can be assigned to the side, and he can even plug the ribs in the middle.
In the words of the commentator: "He has a hundred ways to get the ball to the most dangerous place!" β
Bayern Munich's players are now in a situation where they want to come up but don't dare to come up and press. If you pounce, you will leave a gap behind you, and if you don't come up, will you let Chu Zhongtian take the ball into the penalty area like this?
In the end, Demichelis rushed up, someone had to come up to interfere with Chu Zhongtian, and he couldn't just drive straight in without pressure.
Chu Zhongtian did not divide the side, nor did he shoot from a distance, but continued to compress Bayern Munich's back line with the football. When he saw Demichelis rushing up, he quickly split the ball.
He passed the ball to the void behind Demichelis. Demichelis knew what that meant, but it was a choice without a choice. Anyway, he can't get up, and the result is the same.
Obasi inserted diagonally to this point and received the football from Chu Zhongtian, which has formed a single knife trend!
"Brilliant passing! Obasi faces Bout alone! β
Goalkeeper Bout dropped the ball and pounced on Obasi.
Obasi didn't raise his foot to shoot, but crossed to the middle!
The ball flew in front of Bout, and he didn't pounce!
"Ibisevic - !!"
The narrator exclaimed.
Ibisevic carried Van Bitten behind him, and he was struggling to break free from his opponent's pull. The soccer ball has already rolled over, and it looks like it won't be able to break free for a while.
The Bosnian shooter simply followed his pull, let the back fall, and shovel the shot!
His toe touched the football, and the ball changed direction and folded towards the goal!
"Oooo The Hoffenheim fans in the stands couldn't wait to start cheering.
The huge empty goal, the football can fly into it casually...... Bout turned around to look, just in time to see the football fly into the net!
β1:0οΌοΌ Hoffenheim broke the deadlock!! β
"The overall score is 3:3! Hoffenheim have the upper hand on the way to the final! β
"Ibisevic!! Pretty! They scored! They are 1-0 ahead of Bayern Munich at their home turf! Now Louis van Gaal's team is on a dead end!! β
"Is Hoffenheim, the team playing in the Champions League for the second time in their history, going to reach the final in one go? If so, it's a miracle! Is this team from the countryside going to work a miracle? β
"The Rhine-Neckar Stadium is already boiling!!"
The Rhine-Neckar Stadium was indeed boiling over, and as soon as Ibisevic shoveled the ball into the empty net, all the Hoffenheim fans jumped from their seats, raised their arms and cheered.
Ibisevic, who scored the goal, ran towards the corner flag, then jumped high and kicked the corner flag.
He was very excited because the goal brought the team one step closer to the final! It can even be said that it is already close ...... "finals!" Final! Final!! The Hoffenheim fans in the stands began to cheer in unison.
At the Wimblede Bar, spectators chanted, "Wembley! Wembley! Wembley!!! β
