Chapter 04: Reversal and Wedding Dress

Udinese chose to retreat, they chose to hold on to Zuihou for less than twenty minutes, they didn't want to have a face-to-face duel with Hoffenheim, who was already completely crazy!

Maybe it was the right choice, but in the eyes of the Hoffenheim players, this is a sign that Udinese is scared, although they are now exhausted, but Udinese's retreat gives them confidence, because they believe that they are the ones who dominate this game now, because they are the ones who hold the initiative in the game! Especially when the opponent feels afraid, they will naturally show greater combat effectiveness, and they will naturally go all out to win this game!

The match seemed to come according to manager Rangnick's prediction, with Udinese finally unable to guarantee their form because they have not experienced a competitive game this season; So although the current Hoffenheim players have reached the limit, their will seems to be stronger, so they can completely suppress Udinese at the Zuihou moment of the game, so they can besiege the Udinese goal at the Zuihou moment of the game!

Now that the siege of Udinese's goal has been launched, then Xiao Qing naturally does not need to be polite, as the attack and the core of Xiao Qing stood firmly in the Udinese penalty area at this time, now Xiao Qing is full of confidence, he will score goals, he will help the team equalize or even reverse!

In the 76th minute of the game, Weiss broke through on the side and made a cross; Although Xiao Qing in front of the goal tried his best to jump, Xiao Qing, whose physical fitness was more or less affected, failed to fight for the top under the strict defense of the defenders of Udinese. Alexander. Lukovic cleared the ball with a big kick, but Gustavo got the ball near midfield and quickly started a new round of siege!

In the 78th minute of the game, Xiao Qing dribbled in front of the penalty area. At this time, Udinese's penalty area was already full of defenders. Therefore, Xiao Qing's arrogance is impossible to create too many threats; But at this time, Xiao Qing suddenly pushed the ball forward. Taking advantage of the slackness of Udinese's defenders, Xiao Qing entered the penalty area strongly.

Although Xiao Qing was surrounded by Udinese in this attack and lost the opportunity to attack, although the continuous attack was resolved, the confidence of Hoffenheim's players is getting stronger and stronger, and they believe that even if there are only ten minutes left, they can still have a chance to score!

As for the players of Udinese, don't look at the fact that they are still one goal ahead, don't look at the time left, but now they really feel the pressure. In the face of Hoffenheim's mad dog attack, they felt as if their goal could be breached at any moment. Although there were some slightly younger Udinese players who really wanted to attack at this time, the manager's demand for a comprehensive reinforcement of the defense forced them to huddle in the midfield to resist Hoffenheim's indiscriminate bombardment.

Xiao Qing and his teammates at this time are naturally more confident, and now they also know the preciousness of time, so the Hoffenheim players who are fully pressed are crazy to attack, they don't give the Udinese players any respite, they want to attack Udinese's goal in one go.

In the 80th minute of the game, Xiao Qing, who received a pass from Salihovic, subconsciously smashed the ball to avoid the up-and-down grab of Udinese back Dagstino, and Xiao Qing, who didn't think much about it, directly pushed the ball forward into the penalty area. Although the attitude of the Udinese defenders at this time is also very resolute, Xiao Qing believes that his belief is actually more resolute. He believes he can do better, at least better than Udinese's defenders!

Xiao Qing's dribbling jishu has improved a lot. So he was able to make more and more delicate moves in the encirclement of dense defenders; Although he entered the penalty area, Xiao Qing's speed was not fast, because he needed to ensure that the ball was at his feet.

The penalty area was already overcrowded, so Xiao Qing soon encountered Udinese's defenders again; Xiao Qing's right foot gently flicked the ball to the left, and the steal of Udinese defender Koda seemed to be missing, and Xiao Qing at this time suddenly pulled the ball back, and Xiao Qing, who was half-turned, dodged Koda in a very small range.

Xiao Qing can create a greater threat, although the current Udinese penalty area still has a relatively complete defensive line, but can hit the hinterland of the penalty area, which is enough to prove that Xiao Qing will not let the Udinese players have a better time. Although Alexander. Lukovic has already filled in in time, but Xiao Qing doesn't care at all; Xiao Qing and Lukovic are getting closer and closer, facing the position card of the extremely accurate Alexander. Lukovic, Xiao Qing suddenly raised his right foot to shoot, but at this time Lukovic was not moved at all, he knew that this was Xiao Qing's feint, he was now going to get into hand-to-hand combat with Xiao Qing, he wanted to delay Xiao Qing's attack and his teammates had enough time to form a trap on Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing's high right foot really did not form a shot, Xiao Qing's right foot looked like he gently stepped on the top of the ball and pushed the ball forward, this time Lukovic came hard, because the ball was at his feet, he subconsciously wanted to stretch out his foot and steal; But at this time, Xiao Qing, who was just rubbing the ball, pushed the ball forward suddenly, although Xiao Qing stepped on the ball before, it was impossible to push the ball too far, but it was enough to pass Lukovic. And more importantly, Lukovic's speed and explosiveness are not Xiao Qing's opponents at all, so when Xiao Qing crossed his side, he was completely confused.

'Force' whistle, Friuli Stadium suddenly quieted down; at the moment when Xiao Qing had the opportunity to break through Lukovic, Lukovic subconsciously fouled, he pushed Xiao Qing, which is something that everyone can see; although Xiao Qing also understands that Lukovic's foul is not enough to completely push him down, but Xiao Qing naturally doesn't mind artistic processing in front of everyone, so he fell to the ground exaggeratedly, and in the face of a penalty opportunity, Xiao Qing really didn't want to miss it, because compared to a more certain way of scoring, continuing to break through may not have a more haode effect。

"Fake fall!" Udinese fans reacted, and when the Udinese players frantically rushed to the referee, they were also very dissatisfied with Xiao Qing's fall, although Lukovic's foul was indeed obvious, but Xiao Qing's fall looked too exaggerated.

Xiao Qing is very excited, although this fall is indeed a bit exaggerated, but this is also related to Xiao Qing's acting skills are not enough to pass, but now he got a penalty opportunity, and although Lukovic is trying his best to explain, he still can't escape the fate of being directly red carded for a foul in the penalty area!

Now Hoffenheim's chance came, a penalty, and Udinese had one less man on the pitch for almost ten minutes, which was naturally a better chance for Hoffenheim.

Xiao Qing looked at the Udinese goalkeeper calmly in his heart, and Xiao Qing, who exhaled, accelerated to the ball at the moment when the referee's whistle sounded; Xiao Qing's shot quality was very good, and the ball flew towards the goal after a 'bang', but Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic subconsciously flew to save and actually hit the ball with both fists, and the cheers at the Friuli Stadium just sounded but stopped abruptly, because the follow-up Hoffenheim striker Ibisevic's calm follow-up shot made Handalovic lose the opportunity to continue to save.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Ibisevic's supplementary shot helped Hoffenheim equalize, and Hoffenheim had a bigger initiative in this game! Because they not only have one more person on the field, but also because they have the big killer of away goal difference in their hands!

Xiao Qing is very regretful, he didn't expect his penalty to be saved, but although Xiao Qing is a little depressed now, but the team can equalize the score for the time being, it is the best thing, and Xiao Qing believes that he still has a chance, he will not give up so simply, he will still attack the goal of Udinese, because now they occupy more advantages, so they have to beat the water dogs hard to expand the score, and now they will not be satisfied with the equalizer, Even if you are tired and cramping after this game, you must strive to win this game!

The Hoffenheim players who pulled back a goal were naturally demoralized, while the poor home home of Udinese was demoralized after conceding the goal, and more importantly, they really didn't know if they could suppress the siege of the mad dog Hoffenheim players with one less person on the field.

Xiao Qing is gearing up, since the team has formed a siege, then with his physical fitness, he is the most haode among the team's forwards, so Xiao Qing is firmly nailed to the hinterland of the penalty area at this time, and he believes that his teammates will create more opportunities for him in front of the penalty area.

In the eighty-seventh minute of the game, just when all the Udinese fans thought they could save a draw without danger, Hoffenheim, who were attacking frantically, received good news again; Salihovic was brought down on the right side in front of the box and Hoffenheim were given a free-kick in front.

Xiao Qing was observing the position of the relaxed players, and at the moment when Salihovic took a free kick, he burst out at full speed and rushed towards the goal; Although Xiao Qing's position is not very good, Xiao Qing can rush to the top with the outstretched feet of the Udinese players. Xiao Qing hit the ball, but the Udinese goalkeeper obviously couldn't get along with Xiao Qing, and he subconsciously stretched out his foot to block Xiao Qing's shot; But in the chaos of the small penalty area, the Hoffenheim defenders successfully fished in troubled waters, Kompa successfully made up for it, and Xiao Qing once again achieved someone else's wedding dress. 2 to 1, Hoffenheim made an incredible comeback!

Hoffenheim scored two goals in the space of five minutes to complete the comeback, and more importantly, they almost stepped into the main circle of the UEFA Cup with one foot! (To be continued......)
