"Chu fell to the ground again! This is the third or fourth time he fell in the second half? Look at his jersey, the blue jersey is almost turning green... Schalke 04's players made a very fierce defense against Chu, almost completely close-fitting. Although Schalke 04 has too many fouls, I think Lütten provides an example for the coaches of other teams in the Bundesliga - how to curb Hoffenheim's midfield core, and this method is effective from the moment."

The premiere TV commentator said this after seeing Chu Zhongtian being knocked down again.

"No, if I were the referee, the game would end in 60 minutes." Effenberg, the guest commenter next to him, had a different opinion. The meaning of this is that if he was the referee, Schalke 04 would have been punished by him for a long time. When there were not enough seven players on one side, the game would be forced to end.

"Schalke 04's tactics were quite successful after the first half, but in the second half they only focused on fouls, but did not know how to counterattack."

※※In the 61st minute, Chu Zhongtian got the ball in the backcourt, and he noticed that Jones forced him up again. Schalke 04 also had a 433 formation in this game, but unlike Hoffenheim, they sent three defensive midfielders... Englar is the Dutch midfielder and performed well in the just-concluded European Cup. He made good steals and defense in the midfield, and what is commendable is that after the steal, he can pass the ball and organize the offense.

Jones is a German international who has been selected for the national team twice. He is strong and physically strong. He can often see him running tirelessly at the last moment of the game. He is mainly responsible for defense and his offense is lackluster.

Fabian Ernst is the captain of the team. He first played as an attacking forward, but later gradually transformed and is now a completely defensive midfielder. He is close to Jones' style. He was once selected for the German national team, but it is indeed the German broom star. As long as he plays on the field in major games, the German team will lose. So now he has lost the opportunity to play for the country... Such three pure defensive midfielders form an iron gate in the midfield, while Hoffenheim only has one Chu Zhongtian who can defend. Because of the lack of support, when Chu Zhongtian gets the ball in the backcourt, Schalke 04's midfielders dare to come up and cull.

Chu Zhongtian knew that Jones was pushing him up, so he looked back and Jones came up. The defensive pressure of his teammates in front was lighter. As long as he passed Jones, he could drive the ball forward and go straight to Huanglong. By then, Schalke 04's midfield defense would definitely be disrupted by his own dribbling forward. As long as they got messy, it would be Hoffenheim's chance.

Chu Zhongtian thought so, Jones had already reached the front. Chu Zhongtian gently rubbed the football away from the outside of his right foot before he stepped out, and leaned against Jones and turned around!

Of course, Jones knew what this kid was going to do, but he didn't get the ball in his first shot. If he was asked to turn around, the team's defense would be in a hurry again. Chu Zhongtian's assist in the first half left a very deep impression on Jones. He participated in the defense throughout the whole process, but he was still powerless to do anything to Chu Zhongtian.

So at this time, when Jones saw that Chu Zhongtian was going to pass by him, his first reaction was to push his hands, and at the same time he bent his knees and pushed his body forward. His knees were just pressing against Chu Zhongtian’s thighs. With a sudden force on his hand, Chu Zhongtian was pushed to the ground by him!

"Oh!" the commentator exclaimed.

"Damn it!" Hoffenheim fans in the stands also cursed, and then they shouted at the same time: "That kid has a yellow card!!"

They are reminding the referee.

The whistle of referee Gagelmann sounded after Chu Zhongtian fell to the ground.

Jones reacted quickly. He raised his hand high as soon as he pushed the person, indicating that he had not pushed him or made a foul, and that he was innocent.

Comper, who was closest to the scene, ran up and roared at the referee: "How many fouls have this been this??"

Following him was Teber, who was about to stand up for Chu Zhongtian again. He made a gesture to the referee to take out the cards: "Yellow card, yellow card!"

Schalke 04's players rushed up to defend Jones, and of course they knew what it would mean if the referee played cards again.

Chu Zhongtian stood up and rubbed his thighs. The pain was a little painful when he was pushed. It was just a flaw and it was not a problem. Just rub it.

He cares more about the other party than himself - Jones has a yellow card on him, so how will the referee judge?

Rangnick also shouted to the field on the sidelines: "My players have been violated countless times, why can their people stay on the field as if nothing happened?!"

Lütten was also putting pressure on the referee: "That was a fake fall! 100% was a fake fall! They wanted to lure my player out! It was unfair!!"

The referee Gaugerman has his own judgment. Looking at the angry Hoffenheim players, he knew that if he didn't do anything, he would be afraid that the Hoffenheim players would lose control.

So he dispersed both players around him and called Jones alone.

Whether it was the live fans or the TV audience, they were watching the referee at this time, wanting to see if he called Jones over to give cards, or just verbally warn him... When Jones walked over to the referee, he was still defending himself: "I really didn't touch him, he was pretending to fall..."

The referee didn't listen to his explanation and waved to him and said, "I have always seen your performance, you should calm down..."

Hearing this, Jones thought it was just an ordinary verbal warning, and he wouldn't be sent off anyway, so he simply admitted his mistake. "Okay, okay, I promise there won't be next time..." As for whether there will be no next time, then I'll know... The referee nodded, as if he accepted his mistake.

Is the matter over here?

No.

Gagelman suddenly reached out to touch his chest pocket, and then he held a small red and yellow card from it!

"It seems that Gagelman is going to play cards!"

As expected, Gagelman took out a yellow card and competed with Jones, and then showed a red card!

"Two yellows turn red, and Jones is sent off!" Duan Bin said gloatingly. For Jones, who repeatedly violated Chu Zhongtian, it is impossible for Duan Bin to have any good feelings.

"Ah, Jones was sent off, Schalke 04 paid the price for their roughness!" The German commentator had no good impression of Schalke 04's tactics today. The football played by Hoffenheim had a good look and excitement, which had long attracted many people. Therefore, when commenting on the game, the commentator was willing to say a few more beautiful words about this team. Just like Barcelona, ​​when commenting on the game, the commentator always habitually praised the team, and his mouth was always full of praise, just like they were actually Barcelona fans. In fact, this was not the case. This was just because they thought Barcelona football was beautiful.

Jones looked at the red card raised by Gagelman and was still a little unbelievable. At this time, the referee made a gesture to him - lifted up his other hand, pointed at the bottom of the field, and signaled him to the end of the field.

The Deco Hoffenheim players next to him applauded the referee's penalty. If one person is missing on the opponent, the game will definitely develop in a favorable direction.

Schalke 04 players collectively protested the penalty. They thought it would be enough to give a verbal warning, and there was no need to play cards again. When a player already has a yellow card, the referee would be much more cautious when playing cards, especially when the two fouls were close, which was even more so. Unexpectedly, Gagelman played so decisively today, which made them very dissatisfied.

As a result, during the protest, another midfielder, Englar, received a yellow card because of his disrespect to the referee in his words.

Lütten was very angry at the referee's series of punishments. Not only him, but the entire Schalke 04 coaching staff were dissatisfied with the punishment. But they could not change any facts, and Jones was eventually kicked off the court and the game continued.

※※※After Jones was sent off, Schalke's foul tactics and tactics of Schalke 04 were much more restrained. First, they lost one defensive midfielder, and only two midfielders became. Secondly, the remaining two midfielders also had a yellow card on their bodies. If you were not careful, you might get a second yellow card, just like you were so poor that you were so excited.

So in order not to reduce players, Schalke 04's players are much more civilized than before, or they seem a little bit sluggish in defense - the player is not Erlengzi, he only knows the instructions of the head coach without reservation. They are also afraid of being sent off by red cards, so under the current circumstances no one dares to foul the foul.

Once their movements are restrained, they cannot limit Chu Zhongtian, Salihovic, Ibisevic, Obasi, Demba, and other Hoffenheim players with excellent skills and delicate feet.

Suddenly, Hoffenheim gained the advantage again and completely suppressed Schalke 04.

Without Jones' entanglement, Ernst and Englar were intimidated by the yellow cards on their bodies, and did not dare to press too much against Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian became active again like in the first half.

After seeing Chu Zhongtian planning two threatening offensives in a row, Lütten couldn't sit still and replaced Asamoa with Levan_kobiashvili.

Kobe Yashvili can play as a midfielder, replace him and remove a forward, obviously trying to curb Chu Zhongtian, Salihovic and others in the midfield. After all, Ernst and Englar have cards on them, so they are too concerned about defense and cannot play at all.

However, after Kobe Yashvili came on the court, he could not stop the Hoffenheim midfield combination as he played better and better. Schalke 04's dangers remained in front of the goal.

Schalke's coach blamed all this on the referee's action of sending Jones off. Schalke 04's assistant coach Mild (youri_mulder) was sued by the fourth official because he kept cursing the referee on the sidelines. The referee Gagelman suspended the game and rushed to the sidelines to give Mild a red card!

"Oh! Schalke's assistant coach Mild was also sent to the stands. He must have been disrespectful to the referee's words off the court!"

※※※As soon as he was sent off, Hoffenheim won a free kick over there. It was Chu Zhongtian who was tripping by Kobe Yashvili who had just been on the court.

Kobe Yashvili would not do this, and Chu Zhongtian had already formed a breakthrough trend because Ernst and Englar had their own concerns and were not strong in defense, so they were given by Chu Zhongtian. If Kobe Yashvili did not foul, Chu Zhongtian would directly rush into the penalty area. By then, he would really want to foul.

So he had no choice but to trip Chu Zhongtian helplessly.

Hoffenheim got a free kick opportunity only twenty-two meters away from the goal.

Salihovic did not come up to take the penalty. He grabbed Teber and said to Teber: "You come this ball, Selim."

Teber hesitated for a moment and took the ball.

Salihovic patted his shoulder, but said nothing.

Of course Teber knows what this means.

Chu Zhongtian kept watching this scene from the side without saying anything. He also understood.

Teber is the captain of the team. Last season, he was still the first captain and played with the captain's armband. However, this season, as the team was promoted to the first league and as the team recruited troops, his strength could not keep up with the team's needs, and there were fewer opportunities to play. Although he is still the captain of the team - the third captain - but he cannot play, which is really embarrassing. Outside, he gave Teber a nickname called "Bench Captain", which is a bit ridiculous and derogatory.

But Teber never minded. In fact, he was not a gentle person. As a descendant of Turkey, his temper was as hot as any Turk. But he knew that he was still the captain of the team. Even if he was just the third captain, he had the responsibility to remain calm and calm in the right team of this young man, otherwise the team would fall apart sooner or later.

This free kick is thankful for Salihovic, who has played with Teber for more than two seasons, for his silent dedication but never complaining.

"Hoffenheim won a free kick, twenty-two meters away from the goal." The distance of this free kick was scored on the TV screen. "This is not a good opportunity. Salihovic did not choose a free throw. He handed the football to the third captain Teber who came on the bench." Duan Bin was hurrying to introduce the Hoffenheim captain who rarely appeared to the domestic fans. "He started twice this season, played five substitutes and rarely appeared. After appearing, he played back midfielder, front midfielder, and winger and forward. He is a scattered player. He was born in Germany, but his ancestral home is Türkiye and was selected for the first time.

Germany's under-21 national team played five Toulon Cup games for Germany... Because of its poor strength, it could only wait for opportunities on Hoffenheim's bench. Hoffenheim's midfield combination is indeed too strong, including Chu Zhongtian, Salihovic, Eduardo, known as "Royce Jr. II", and "German Gattuso" Weiss..." Duan Bin said and said, he was proud of Chu Zhongtian again - in such a strong midfield lineup, Chu Zhongtian is the unstoppable main force and the well-deserved core. He is like the Suns, Salihovic, Eduardo and Weiss, etc., all have to revolve around him.

As he was talking, Teber placed the football on the free throw point.

Schalke 04's players did not take Teber seriously. At first they thought it would be Salihovic to take the penalty, but they nervously pulled five people to line up the wall. Now, when they saw that it was Teber, they quickly retreated one of Salihovic who had entered the penalty area.

Teber has become accustomed to this kind of contempt, and his career cannot be called a success at all. At the age of 27 this year, he debuted in Mannheim and later transferred to Kaiserslautern, but she has no chance to play, and she only came on as a substitute in 2004, scoring twice against Schalke 04. He was then loaned to the Salzburg Red Bulls in the Austrian League. There he met three Turkish fellows - Faruk_atalay who played classical midfielder, Karaman who played back midfielder, and Akgül who played winger, and learned how to play front midfielder, back midfielder and winger... Life in Austria is a comfortable life, but it is absolutely not a success for a professional player's career. Although the Red Bulls dominate Austria, they were swept 5:0 by Roma in the League Cup.

A season later, he returned to Kaiserslautern, but there was still no place for him. He chose to leave and return to Türkiye, the motherland of his fathers.

Denizli Sports is not a strong team in Turkey, and it is not on the same level as Besiktas, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and other teams. But even in such a second-rate team in a second-rate league, he still has not found a position, has not won any chance to play all season, and has even been transferred to the regional league in Turkey to spend time.

What a typical failure professional player this is. Except in Mannheim, he always got along with the bench on the bench. Until he joined Hoffenheim, in fact, from the time when a professional player who had played in Kaiserslautern had to go to a country club that played in amateur league was definitely not a success, and he could only slip deeper and deeper in the abyss of failure.

No one would have thought that this country team had quietly advanced to the Bundesliga, and Teber also quietly became the captain. But when the team was promoted to the Bundesliga, the captain returned to the bench, which is still the most familiar here. He only appears on the bench at some times, and he plays any position in the frontcourt, as long as the team needs it. Either a winger, a front midfielder, a back midfielder, or a forward, everything he learned from the Red Bulls is now in handy.

Salihovic obviously knew Teber better than himself. Chu Zhongtian initially thought that this was a good person and helped him be the captain. He was very grateful to him. But the relationship between Salihovic and Teber was definitely not gratitude, but a kind of comrade-in-arms. That's why he gave this free kick opportunity to Teber.

The above stories were heard slowly by Chu Zhongtian later.

He ran over and patted Tebel on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, wishing him good luck.

Teber watched Chu Zhongtian run away, and then focused his attention on the free kick again.

The man wall has been lined up, and the players from both sides in the penalty area are in place. Goalkeeper Neuer lowered his center of gravity and is ready to go.

He is focused on it.

The referee blew a whistle that allowed the free throw.

Teber assisted two steps and then took a kick!

The football soared into the air, and Schalke 04's wall didn't even jump up. They obviously looked down on this guy who came on the bench and even owed the way he jumped up.

So the football went over their heads... Hoffenheim is now very brilliant, but this glory seems to have nothing to do with their third captain Selim Teber. If you count the most glorious moments of his career, it can also be mentioned that he came on as a substitute against Schalke 04 when he was in Kaiserslautern and scored twice.

I really didn't expect that Schalke 04 is now again, and it is a substitute again... The football crossed Schalke 04's wall, then fell in a daze, and rushed straight to the lower left corner of the goal! At the same time, goalkeeper Neuer also flew to the ground!

"Tebel shot...Neul! He saved...ah! The ball went in! The ball went in! The ball went in! The ball went in!!" The commentator suddenly raised the volume and shouted.

Although the football was saved by Neuer, he still stubbornly entered the lower left corner of the goal. The players of Schalke 04 who looked back witnessed the entire goal process, which was almost a blind spot!

"Hoffenheim took the lead again in the 77th minute! The goal was Selim Teber, who came on as a substitute!! Beautiful direct free kick! 2:1! They are only one step away from the winter championship!"

Schalke and I are really destined to be...Tebel opened his arms and ran to the bench, with a bright smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
