Chapter 52 Just a little bit
When Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball on the wing, no one realized that this would be a goal, including Hoffenheim's own fans. Before this game, both sides had several better and more obvious goalscoring opportunities than this one, but they were not sure about it. Naturally, everyone did not take this offensive opportunity to heart.
Hoffenheim fans were about to take a break and take a breath when they saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly accelerate and rushed forward, then played a two-pass one with Obasi in front of Bayern's penalty area, and then broke into the penalty area and made a cross!
This immediately tore open Bayern's defense line. They saw it clearly in the stands. The previously compact defense line was suddenly withdrawn, revealing a huge gap, and Ibisevic was in this space.
So they planned to cheer again, but before they could make a sound, Chu Zhongtian's football had already been passed.
Then they saw Ibisevic jumping high and jumping in the air to smash the football into the goal.
It was not until this time that their cheers burst out.
After the yell, they started singing. The Bundesliga TV audience is no stranger to this song. With Hoffenheim's outstanding performance, this song was sung by Hoffenheim fans across Germany.
This song explains very well what kind of team Hoffenheim is, with a grassroots unyielding and twisting force.
"We come from the countryside, we have nothing!"
"We are extremely strong, we advocate freedom!"
"We are rural, but we are full of pursuits!"
"We will win in the end, the cup is full of beer!"
"Occurrence! Attack! The blood of the attack will always flow!"
"We - is - Hoffenheim! Let you taste - our football!!"
The song rang over and over again over the Allianz Stadium, and Bayern fans were silent in front of the song.
Before this, how many people would say in a disdainful tone when talking about "Hoffenheim"?
Now this little country bumpkin team is leading their team at home, which is really embarrassing...※※ After scoring the goal, Ibisevic and Chu Zhongtian, who assisted him, ran to the bench together and hugged his teammates there. They were extremely proud to be able to open Bayern Munich's goal first at Allianz Stadium.
If they had been put into three years ago, they would not have believed that they were still playing football in the Southern German Regional League, the equivalent of amateur league games.
Today, this scene really came true.
Before the game, some media believed that Bayern Munich would bring Hoffenheim back to its original form and let this dark horse team know what the real Bundesliga giants are.
But at present, it seems that the dark horse team has indeed given the wealthy club a heavy blow.
"It's incredible that Hoffenheim leads at Bayern's home court!" Lef exclaimed. "Look at their crazy celebrations, as if they have won the game!"
Beckenbauer sat next to him and shook his head, "Bayern's defense is too relaxed. They focus all their attention on Chu who is holding the ball, but forget that Ibissevic is in good shape recently. Lucio and Van Biten, two central defenders, went to the middle and went to Ibissevic. What did they think? Also, our defense was very loose from the beginning of the midfield. When Chu was dribbling the ball, no one went up to press. Van Bomel just waited in his position, and then watched Chu bring the ball up, he handed over the initiative to the opponent! And when Chu completed the two-pass and one-on-one cooperation in front of him, he did not chase back in time, just stood there...what was he thinking?"
As the former chairman of Bayern Club, Beckenbauer certainly hopes his team will win, so he criticized mercilessly when he saw the team's poor performance in defense.
Bayern players were also thinking: Why did someone miss? How could Chu get everyone's attention in an instant after taking the ball? It's like he has magic power, which can firmly absorb people's eyes and completely forget about the things around him.
※※※Even the crazy celebration, there will be an end. After the celebration, Hoffenheim players ran back to the stadium. Bayern players had already placed the football in the middle circle and were ready to kick off.
Ibisevich gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up: "Good spread, Chu!"
Chu Zhongtian also gave him a thumbs up: "Good, Ibi!"
The team is in the lead now, and everyone is in a good mood.
After leading, Hoffenheim did not become conservative.
They continued to attack Bayern Munich at the Allianz Stadium.
However, Bayern's players showed signs of collapse after conceding the ball... Four minutes later, Chu Zhongtian suddenly changed positions to the middle, Gustavo went to the right, and then Chu Zhongtian received the ball that Eduardo made for him. At 27 or 8 meters away from the goal, he suddenly shot from a long distance!
Before he shot, no Bayern Munich player came up to interfere with and defend. Bayern players obviously did not expect Chu Zhongtian to suddenly appear in the middle.
The ball shot very suddenly, pressing against the grass, flew past low, and flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Fortunately, Lunsin was very focused, fell to the ground and rushed to the side, and tried hard to push the ball out.
"Chu Zhongtian's long shot! Oh! What a pity... Lunsin rushed out..." Duan Bin hugged his head in the studio.
This long shot also made Bayern fans in the stands exclaim.
Abel also said "Wow" and wasn't screaming. He felt a pity for Chu Zhongtian not scoring this goal. If this goal is scored, it will be a two-goal lead, and it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to equalize the score or even reverse the victory. What a pity!
Daniel next to him cursed, "What a damn! Where is our players? Why no one defended that Chinese! The team played so chaotic during this period!"
Daniel is right, Bayern Munich played quite chaotic after conceding the ball. They were not prepared for Hoffenheim to lead at Allianz Stadium, and Hoffenheim scored the first record in the game ten times before, and then they all won the game, which also put some pressure on the players.
During this period, the players had no idea how to continue the game... Lunsin, who had saved Chu Zhongtian's wonderful long-range shot, stretched out from the ground and shouted at his teammates: "What are you doing? Why is no one going to guard him? Stay at him! Don't let him shoot again!!"
Lunsing is not old in the team. Many people in the team are his seniors. In the past, he did not dare to scold those seniors so loudly in the game. But now he can't care about so many goals. The goal he guards is in a hurry. Last season's best defense line in the Bundesliga was useless under the offensive of Hoffenheim. If this continues, wouldn't he still have to pick up the ball from the goal? How can this be? How can this be? When he thinks of this, Lunsing feels very annoyed, so he doesn't care about his lack of qualifications and yells at the big brothers in the team.
As the captain, Van Bomel really felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities. When Chu Zhongtian suddenly moved to the middle, a short circuit appeared in his brain. He didn't know if he wanted to go up to defend Chu Zhongtian for a while... Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian's shot did not enter, otherwise he would have become a sinner. Two goals were behind, Van Bomel really didn't know if Bayern could make a comeback... He made up his mind to guard Chu Zhongtian.
Now he has a good chance. Hoffenheim won a corner kick. Chu Zhongtian also entered the penalty area and was ambushed near the penalty spot. Van Bomel leaned forward.
Eduardo's corner kick was taken, but he went straight to the back point, and Chu Zhongtian had no chance to compete for the top. And Ibisekic, who was ambushed in the back point, pushed the football high under the encirclement of Lucio and Van Biten.
※※※When Van Bomel was planning to guard Chu Zhongtian, he returned to the wing, and Gustavo continued to take charge of the center. Van Bomel could not run as a guest player as a full-back, right? In that case, his middle lane would be empty.
There is really nothing Bayern's team can do about this flexible all-around midfielder.
At the same time, Chu Zhongtian completed the task of defending Ribery well on the right, making Ribery's contribution to the team's offense close to zero so far.
So far, Ribery has played very depressed in this game. He has no performance except fighting with Chu Zhongtian. When the team is behind and needs to score, he cannot contribute his strength because he is stared at by Chu Zhongtian.
Just now, Chu Zhongtian used a beautiful tackle to tear the ball under Ribery out of the sideline, causing his breakthrough to come to an abrupt end.
In fact, the solution is not to be impossible. Just change the position with the right forward Schweinsteiger. He goes to the left and asks the piglet to fight Chu Zhongtian, and he can get out. Hoffenheim's left forward Eduardo is not good at defense, and in Ribery's view, Ibertsberger's strength gap is too big and poses no threat to him.
But Klinsmann did not require this in tactical tactics. He could only occasionally cross positions with Schweinsteiger and would soon be replaced.
When French media interviewed Ribery before, he also said that he would use the wonderful performance of this game to prove that the selection of the European Golden Globes was a mistake, but from now on, he proved how correct the selection of the European Golden Globes was... French TV broadcast this game live, on the one hand, because Ribery is the most popular star in France at present, and on the other hand, because his confrontation and friendship with Chu Zhongtian are a big highlight.
Now it seems that the latter highlight is vividly reflected, but the unlucky person is not Chu Zhongtian, but Ribery. In this confrontation, Chu Zhongtian became the protagonist, and Ribery was the green leaf beside him... Now, Ribery was unable to break through the tight defense against Chu Zhongtian, so he had to pass the ball, but his pass was cut off by Gustavo. He was pressed by Chu Zhongtian, which made him unable to observe the surrounding situation and make a judgment. He passed the ball casually, but he didn't expect that his teammates did not run to that position at all, but instead made a cheaper Hoffenheim.
When Chu Zhongtian saw Gustavo breaking the ball, he threw Ribery down and rushed forward. Gustavo also passed the ball just right. After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he made an attempt to play two-by-one with Obasi. Ram quickly pulled in, and Chu Zhongtian grabbed the gap, accelerated and rushed over, and broke through!
"Chu Zhongtian was very active on the right side! It was impossible to tell at all that he seemed to be playing against the right forward for the first time!"
Chu Zhongtian, who broke through, cut into the penalty area and then crossed before Ram caught up!
Rensing's side-skipping failed to hit the ball, which caused a scream in the stands.
The Bayern defenders who were chasing back were even more afraid to stretch their feet, for fear that they would be stabbed into the goal by the goal. If they were behind two goals, they would score an own goal. After the game, they would definitely be scolded to death... Bayern players did not dare to touch them, while Hoffenheim players did not touch them. In order to avoid the interception of Rensing and many Bayern players, Chu Zhongtian's passer was a bit powerful. The football quickly passed by the goal. Ibissevic and Demba, who followed up, did not touch the football... "Oh--" The sound of Bayern fans after being shocked came out again in the stands.
After seeing Hoffenheim's attack, Klinsmann, who was standing on the sidelines, finally couldn't help it. He has been standing on the sidelines until now, which is hard to see in previous games. But although he was standing on the sidelines, he was still calm. Even if Hoffenheim scored the goal, he did not make any extreme moves. But now when the team's performance was completely messy and Hoffenheim players passed on their heart's content in front of them, he got angry.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?!" The "Golden Bomber" threw a large number of bombs at Bayern players. "Pull me up! Be careful to curb their attacks, and then fight back quickly! Don't forget everything I said to you before the game!"
He waved his arms and roared loudly, allowing all Bayern players to see how dissatisfied their head coach is now.
"Ha!" Seeing this scene, Duan Bin laughed. "Hoffenheim finally forced Klinsmann to anger. Bayern Munich played badly recently. After losing the ball, they seemed to have lost their souls. It is not the first time they are facing difficulties in the game... Maybe after being hyped by the media before the game, they have been under too much pressure, which makes them a little too depressed. If they lose to Hoffenheim, they will be ridiculed by the whole of Germany, just like Schweinsteiger said before the game. He said, 'If Hoffenheim beats us, even if they just draw, they will become heroes of Germany and be praised by the cross-legged ones. And if we win Hoffenheim, nothing will happen'. I think it is this psychological pressure that makes Bayern players perform abnormally after falling behind..."
"Klinsmann has to make adjustments, otherwise this game will only develop in a direction that is beneficial to Hoffenheim." Gong Lei, the guest commentator of the game sitting next to him, said.
Klinsmann did make adjustments, and after he yelled at the players, he walked back. His assistant coach Martin Vasquez told him: "Jurgen, Ribery was completely frozen."
Klinsman nodded: "I know."
"We have to find a way, otherwise our attack will be paralyzed. You know, Ribery is our main attack point..."
"Let him and Schweinsteiger switch positions," said Klinsmann. "Let the French play the right forward and Schweinsteiger come over."
Klinsman thought so. Ribery and Schweinsteiger were both all-around midfielders who could play on both sides, and there was no situation where they would not be able to adapt if they changed positions. Therefore, Ribery stayed away from Chu Zhongtian. He didn't believe that Ribery would change positions, and Chu Zhongtian could still change positions. Previous information did not say that Chu Zhongtian could still play the left forward.
※※※ Klinsman's adjustment was quickly passed on to the court by the assistant coach.
Ribery was filled with joy when he heard this decision - he could finally get rid of this annoying Chu Zhongtian!
Of course, before leaving, he had not forgotten to say hello to Chu Zhongtian: "Goodbye, Chu."
Ribery, who was on the other side, immediately made a cross. Although he did not score, it was his best performance in more than 50 minutes of the game.
Chu Zhongtian looked at Ribery who had moved to the other side and wondered whether he would follow him too... He heard head coach Rangnick calling his name on the sidelines.
"Transfer with Eduardo!"
Rangnick also made adjustments immediately. He even curbed Ribery to curb Bayern Munich, so Ribery must not be let go. Klinsmann's intention to make Ribery and Schweinsteiger replace him was obvious, and he must not get what he wanted. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian was ordered to change positions and go to the left forward.
When Ribery took the ball again but was cut off by Chu Zhongtian, he looked at Chu Zhongtian's back in surprise and forgot to return to defense.
After Chu Zhongtian passed the football out, he turned around and smiled at him: "Hello, Frank. We're meeting again."
"Oh! Hell!" Ribery screamed strangely.
※※※ "Let's see Chu Zhongtian turned to the left... It seems that his main task in this game is to freeze Ribery. So far, he has done a great job. Under his control, Ribery completely disappeared... I thought he didn't play for a short time... Haha!"
※※※ Klinsman, who saw Rangnick's adjustment this time, frowned and stood there without moving, just like a sculpture. After thinking for about a minute, he turned around and said to assistant coach Vasquez: "Tell Ram that you can insert the attack."
Before this game, Klinsmann did not allow Ram to assist frequently for safety reasons. In fact, Ram is a full-back who likes and is good at attacking. Beckenbauer also mentioned this during the break. He was always optimistic about Bayern Munich because Hoffenheim and Bayern tied in the first half, which was the result when Ram did not exert any force. In other words, as long as Ram exerts his strength in the second half, this balance can be broken.
Now, the time to break the balance has come.
Assistant coach Vasquez walked to the sideline and rushed to Ram, who stayed in the second half and did not cross the center line, shouting: "Ram! Ram!"
When Ram looked at him, he waved his hand: "Attack!!"
Chapter completed!
