At the last moment, Rangnick had arranged everything that was arranged, and then he clapped his hands and signaled everyone to focus on him again.

"Many of you joined the team last season, and the team was still in the second division. Who dares to think that we will challenge Bayern Munich here in a year and make Bayern Munich very nervous?"

Hoffenheim players looked at each other. They really didn't dare to think about it a year ago. At that time, their rankings in the second division were not very good, and it was not known whether they could be upgraded at the end of the season. At that time, the upgrade plan that Hope's boss determined for the club was to return to the Bundesliga within five years.

Unexpectedly, it was successful in one year. What was even more unexpected was that it was so smooth after rushing to the Bundesliga. Now it ranks first in the Bundesliga standings, holding Bayern Munich, Hamburg, Wolfsburg and other strong teams firmly under their bodies.

"Look at Carl Mercedes-Benz Stadium, how many fans did we play there first? How many are there now? Look at Allianz Stadium, today there are 70,000 fans to come and play football. There are 167 countries around the world broadcast live, Mexico, the United States, France, Japan... and even China."

Hearing this sentence, some people turned their heads and looked at Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian smiled at everyone. A week before the game, his father called him to tell him that CCTV was already broadcasting an advertisement. Chu Zhongtian was the protagonist in the film, and he fought against the powerful Bayern alone.

"They are all paying attention to us. This is a good opportunity for us to show ourselves to the whole world. If we miss it, we will not have it again. Before this, there were a lot of criticisms and rumors about us. I have read those words, which are nonsense and unreasonable, but some people believe it. Because we did not make a strong counterattack, many people can only choose to believe in it - we did not give them a reason to believe in us, rather than believe in the rumors. Now the opportunity has come, boys. This is the best stage, only the protagonist is left to play! What are you waiting for?"

※※※Players on both sides stand in the passage and wait to play.

The live broadcast is introducing the list of players on both sides of the game to the fans. The first one I read was the names of Hoffenheim fans. For each report, except for 6,500 Hoffenheim fans, all other Bayern fans responded with booing.

Abel sat on the stone steps, and the Bayern fans beside him booed the most. Daniel even booed and scolded. Looking at the blue spot in the stands opposite the stadium, Abel felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. If he sat there, he could cheer for Hoffenheim with his companions.

Now he dares not reveal any emotions. He stands among the most hardcore Bayern fans. If he wants to watch this game safely, it is best not to do anything that angers the other party.

The live broadcast soon finished Hoffenheim's list, followed by Bayern Munich's list. Every time a Bayern Munich player's name is read, deafening cheers will sound in the stands. The people around Abel yelled particularly crazy.

Several others roared at Abel's ears and sprayed his face with spitting stars.

※※※This is how the live broadcast reads the list - start with the substitute list. When the starting list is read, the players on both sides happen to appear, so the broadcaster starts from the first Bayern player who came out, and each name is reported will be filled with cheers.

Chu Zhongtian led the way to the front of the team. He looked up at the stands. It was different from when he was warming up. There were many more people, and the stands were completely full and there were almost no available seats.

This is indeed the best stage.

Bayern fans in the stands were shouting the names of the players who played. Walking beside him was Bayern Munich's captain Van Bommel. The Dutch is the first foreign captain in Bayern Munich's history.

When Hoffenheim's players were still shocked by the atmosphere on the scene when they appeared. The huge stadium and towering stands, the loud noises made by 70,000 people at the same time made their ears temporarily deaf. They seemed to be unable to hear what the other party said at a close distance.

This is Bayern Munich's home court, and this is the temple of German football - Allianz Stadium.

Comper looked up at the packed stadium stands and almost forgot to move forward, but Baker pushed him from behind.

There were definitely more than Comper who looked up and looked at it. Many Hoffenheim players were shocked by what they saw when they entered the court.

Hoffenheim has played several traditional strong teams so far this season, and there are also those who play away. For example, they once lost to Leverkusen at Bayer Arena, and also to Werder Bremen's home Wiess Stadium, and Hertha Berlin's home Olympic Stadium. They lost all three away games, but none of these three away games did not have the shock that Allianz Stadium brought them today. Bayer Stadium can only accommodate more than 22,000 people, although it was full at the time, but from a visual perspective, the impact is much smaller. Werder Bremen's Wiess Stadium can accommodate forty-two,000 people, and it's just that. Hertha Bremen's Olympic Stadium is large, and there were 58,000 people in that game, but because it is a comprehensive stadium with a track between the stadium and the stands, although there are many people, the sense of oppression is not heavy.

Allianz Stadium is different. It is the first stadium in Germany where fans stands and stadiums are in close contact. It has not been run, and there is no curved area near the corner flag area. Just like the stadium in England, players can even shake hands with the fans behind them when they give corner kicks. In this way, fans are closer to the stadium, and players can easily hear the shouts of fans on the stadium, which will bring them an unprecedented fresh experience. Of course, for the visiting players, this is also a very huge pressure.

Most Hoffenheim players are not used to such stadiums. When they turn their heads, they can see the hideous expressions of Bayern Munich fans in the stands.

Chu Zhongtian was calm and composed. He watched too much of this scene when he was playing football in England. When he played football in the amateur league, the fans stood on the sidelines to watch the football.

After entering the field, players from both sides lined up to take pictures and shook hands with each other.

After these necessary procedures, Chu Zhongtian walked out of the team and Fan Bomel met in front of the referees. The captains of the two teams took the side.

Chu Zhongtian got the right to pick the sidelines. He looked at it and chose the team's current halftime, without any changes.

After shook hands with Van Bommel with the four referees, he ran back.

"They kick the ball first!" he shouted at his teammates.

Someone gave him a thumbs up and signaled that he had heard it.

"Be careful with the defense first! Don't let them score!"

※※※"The game is about to begin, let's pay attention to several key figures in this game-" German premiere TV commentator Marcel Leif said to the camera that the next second, there were close-ups of several players on the field on the TV screen. Below each player's close-up, there were various data from the player's 15 league rounds this season.

The first one appears is Ribery, and then Tony.

On Hoffenheim are Ibisevic and Chu Zhongtian.

"What do you think of these four people, Franz?" Lef said to the person sitting next to him.

The camera turned to the man next to him. The man was wearing a pair of glasses and looked very elegant and had a bald forehead. No Germans were unfamiliar with this face because they were the hero of their country's football, "football emperor" - Franz Beckenbauer. He was the guest commentator and commentator for this game.

"Ribery is in good shape lately, comparable to Messi. They are both the best players in the world right now... no." Beckenbauer corrected, "They are even dancers, not players. They play football like dancing, as fascinating as art."

As the former chairman of Bayern Munich club and currently the international affairs representative of the German Football Association, Beckenbauer has a very deep relationship with Bayern Munich. Naturally, he has more praises to Bayern players. But what he is telling the truth is that Ribery has been incredibly good recently. He initially fell in love with the team in the league, but now Bayern Munich's outbreak is inseparable from his condition.

"Tony is also good, with goals in four consecutive rounds. He is Bayern's number one scorer, and his role in Bayern is irreplaceable. Only two players in the Bundesliga are violated more frequently than him. His one-on-one ability is also excellent, better than Ibisek. I think for Hoffenheim defenders, Tony will become their big trouble in this game."

"As for Ibisevic... he is in good condition and doesn't look like an Earthling. I don't need to say too much. There have been a lot of discussions about him recently. I think everyone knows what kind of striker Ibisevic is. If Bayern Munich wants to win, you must pay attention to the defense of this Bosnian."

“When it comes to Chu…”

Lef interrupted: "When it comes to Chu, everyone still remembers what Rangnick said before the season. He thought Chu could be a Summer and another Beckenbauer. What do you think, Franz?"

Beckenbauer smiled: "That's a very, very, very difficult thing."

Just this sentence, he didn't talk much about this topic.

"Chu is a very good player. I've seen several games of him. He has a clear mind in the midfield and he knows what to do and how to do it. It's amazing. I think as long as he has enough opportunities, he should be a top star."

"Is this opportunity referring to Bayern..."

"No. I respect Hoffenheim, they are a very thoughtful club." Although Beckenbauer no longer works at Bayern Club, he still represents the will of Bayern Club. He now denies the possibility of Chu Zhongtian joining Bayern Munich. But I don't know if it's really not interested, or a smoke bomb.

"Okay, the game is about to begin, let's get back to the scene."

The players on both sides have already stood according to their respective formations. This battle called "Germany's national derby" and "Germany's century war" by the German media is about to break out.

※※※Klinsmann was surprised to see Hoffenheim's starting lineup off the court. He found that Gustavo appeared in the middle of the court, but Chu Zhongtian was not by his side.

He got Hoffenheim's starting lineup before the game. At that time, he only got the roster, not the lineup, so he didn't know the specific position of the players, but he could infer this lineup from the usual position of each player. Hoffenheim played two back midfielders - Chu Zhongtian and Gustavo. He thought Ranick would focus on defense in this game, so he sent two back midfielders to start, and Eduardo was the one who stood in front to hit his favorite front midfielder.

Unexpectedly, when it was time for the game, he found that he had missed it through field observation. Gustavo was a midfielder, but Chu Zhongtian was not.

Where is Chu Zhongtian?

On the sideline!

At this side line very close to him.

Judging from this pre-match position, Chu Zhongtian is not a midfielder, but a... a wing forward!

There is not only one person who is surprised, but also Ribery.

The first half of this game was Bayern Munich kick-off. When Tony and Klose were preparing to kick off in the center circle, Ribery stood at the intersection of the center line and the side line. In this way, when the football was opened, he could quickly advance, cross the center line, and go straight to Hoffenheim's 30-meter area along the side line.

But today the situation was wrong. Not far ahead of him, there was a person he was very familiar with.

He looked at Chu Zhongtian in surprise, and Chu Zhongtian smiled and waved to him: Hello, Frank.

Leif also discovered Hoffenheim's adjustment in the lineup: "Chu actually played... the right forward?"

Beckenbauer took a look at the situation on the field and smiled, "This must be Rangnick's idea. He plans to use Chu to curb Ribery's performance."

"But Chu has never played on the wing. He has always been the core of the midfield in Hoffenheim, and the offense and defense of the entire team come from him."

"It's obvious that Rangnick hopes to curb Bayern's offense by curbing Ribery."

"But is it worth sacrificing your midfield organizational skills for this?"

"You'll know if you look, Marcel."

During the conversation between Lef and Beckenbauer, the referee finally blew the whistle to the start of the game.

"CCTV! CCTV! You are now watching the first game of the 16th round of the German Football League, with Bayern Munich playing Hoffenheim at home! Now the game begins!" Duan Bin's voice sounded.

"The one wearing blue jerseys on the court is Hoffenheim. Although they are promoted teams, they are currently ranked first in the league. The one wearing red jerseys is Bayern Munich, who attacks from right to left, and they are ranked second in the league. This is a competition between first in the league and second in the league!"

※※※Tony knocked the football to Cloze, and Cloze passed it back to Van Bomel who was waiting behind.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Ribery rushed across the center line and rushed straight towards Chu Zhongtian. He wanted to confirm this matter - whether Chu Zhongtian came specifically to deal with him.

When Van Bommel saw Ribery rushing forward, he passed the football to him.

Ribery raised his foot against the sideline and removed the football beautifully. He raised his head again, and Chu Zhongtian was indeed standing in front of him.

"Are you here to guard against me in this game, Chu?"

Chu Zhongtian didn't say anything, Ribery stopped talking, and after making a false move inward, he suddenly pushed the football forward along the sideline. Chu Zhongtian quickly turned around and pressed it on, and the two people's bodies collided, and then Chu Zhongtian's center of gravity sank, holding Ribery's clothes with one hand, maintaining balance with the other hand, and tackled the lower foot!

As soon as Ribery saw Chu Zhongtian sticking it up, he knew what he was going to do, so he quickly poked the football forward with his toes. The price of doing so was that he put himself in a very dangerous situation.

Chu Zhongtian did not tackle the ball, but tackled Ribery. The latter was knocked out of the court by Chu Zhongtian. He just fell in front of Hoffenheim's bench.

The Hoffenheim players there stood up and cheered Chu Zhongtian, and behind them were loud protests from Bayern fans.

"Oh! The game was interrupted just as the beginning, and the referee Mayer blew the whistle in his mouth. It seemed that Chu of Hoffenheim had committed a foul! That's right, Rangnick made an unexpected adjustment in this game. He asked Chu to guard his teammate Ribery at Metz! Both of them were very familiar with each other. Ribery and Chu were also good friends off the court. The showdown between them will be very eye-catching in this game!"

The referee's whistle sounded as Ribery fell. Chu Zhongtian was still sitting on the ground, just like Ribery next to him stretched out his hand.

"Come and say hello. Hello, Frank. How do you feel?"

Ribery grinned: "Damn it, you should be sent off directly by the red card!" He complained on his mouth, but his hand still handed it to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian pulled him up from the ground. "I hope you can hold on until I'm sent off." He patted Ribery on the shoulder and ran away.

The referee ran over at this time and made gestures to Chu Zhongtian, reminding him to pay attention to his movements.

Chu Zhongtian nodded obediently, indicating that he remembered it.

Ribery moved his ankle, no problem. Although Chu Zhongtian's foot did not score the ball, it was not for his ankle, so he was not injured.

This is not the first time he has faced Chu Zhongtian in an official match. Last season, he represented Bayern Munich and Chu Zhongtian represented Metz. The two have fought twice in the League Cup, but he feels that those two games are completely different from this game. Chu Zhongtian showed his aggressive side as soon as he got up in this game.

Is this a warning?

He looked up at Chu Zhongtian, who was directing his teammates to defend.

Memories of playing football suddenly popped up in my mind. At that time, they went to challenge Lyon away. Before the game, everyone was optimistic about Lyon. Ribery told Chu Zhongtian that Brazilian Juninho would be the object of focus. As a result, just as the game began, Chu Zhongtian rushed up and gave Juninho a warning and knocked him to the ground. When he came back, Chu Zhongtian said that it was his way of greeting... He was very happy at the time and gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up for this behavior.

Now it was his turn to bear this "hears", he saw Ibisevic giving Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up... Damn! You two!
