"Selim Teber!! Beautiful direct free kick! Dead corner!"

"goooooooooooooooooal-! Hoffenheim took the lead again! Schalke's foul gave Hoffenheim too many free kicks, Salihovic wasted a lot. This time Teber, who came on as a substitute, finally seized such an opportunity!"

After scoring the goal, Teber rushed to the bench, but he was knocked to the ground by Weisla halfway through, and a large group of people pressed on it.

"Good job, Selim!"

"You made them all shut up!"

The Hoffenheim players seemed very excited and were all happy for Teber.

In fact, even if they tied this game, they would definitely win the winter championship. However, Schalke 04 played so roughly that everyone felt a sense of fire. This fire must be vented through the right way. This goal and a victory became the way for everyone to vent their inner anger.

After Chu Zhongtian got up from his teammates, he waved his fist to the stands. He was also very excited. Hoffenheim's first half season was so amazing. The magic continued until this last game. He defeated Schalke 04. The gap between them and Bayern and Munich was once again pulled to three-pointers. Three-pointers were not too much, but being able to lead Bayern and Munich in the league to win the winter championship can still greatly boost the morale of the team.

They are moving step by step towards the goal of the league championship, and they are stepping down every step.

※※※The whole team of Schalke 04 is now facing a dilemma - if you don't make a foul, Hoffenheim's offensive players can make various cooperations in front of them, and then threaten their goal. If you make a foul, you will give the opponent too many free kicks. Look at this free kick from Teber, maybe he can score a goal?

Hoffenheim, who was leading again and had the advantage in numbers, had a strong morale. In the 80th minute, Weiss volleyed on the right side of the front of the penalty area, but the football was slightly higher, which shocked Schalke 04's player in a cold sweat.

A minute later, Hoffenheim made a comeback. Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball in the middle, and Englar came up to defend him. He first stretched out his foot to intercept the ball, but Chu Zhongtian gently pushed it away, and he poked it in vain. Seeing that Chu Zhongtian was about to break through like this, Englar reached out and grabbed Chu Zhongtian's jersey without hesitation.

Chu Zhongtian rushed forward and found that his speed had slowed down. Englar behind him was pulling his jersey.

If it were other players who were pulled by the jersey, they would definitely stop and open their arms to signal to the referee. But Chu Zhongtian did not do this. He continued to move forward and pulled Englar forward... until the referee's whistle sounded.

"Englar pulled Chu's jersey, he had to be careful, he was already...oh! Oh my god!" the commentator exclaimed. "The referee Gagelman once again took out a yellow card! The second one! Red card! Englar was sent off by a red card! Schalke 04 was sent off two players! There was also an assistant coach... This game was really intense..."

Schalke 04's players once again excitedly surrounded the referee. They thought that giving yellow cards to just pull the jersey was a bit too heavy.

Khalil Altentop also came up to communicate with Chu Zhongtian and asked if he had the foul this time was enough for a yellow card.

Chu Zhongtian pulled his jersey and told him: "The jerseys have been pulled like this. If he doesn't pull me, I will face the back line directly..."

Teber also came up to comfort his former teammate Altentop: "That was indeed a foul, Khalil. You played really today... I think you are not here to play football, but to play people and pull jerseys."

Altentop and Teber used to play together in Kaiserslautern, and both have Turkish ancestry. Altentop is a Turkish and Teber is a German Turkish, so the two are friends. When facing his friends, Altentop could only shake his head helplessly: "This is the head coach's arrangement..." Teber patted his shoulders. Two people were sent off, and Schalke 04, who was facing nine people, was already out of the way. Teber was comforting Altentop.

※※※Effenberg said proudly in the commentary: "I said that if I were to play this game, the game would have ended in 60 minutes! Gagelman is too soft and has only sent Schalke off two people until now... Lütten has been not very good since coaching Schalke. I think this is related to his excessive attention to his opponent's ankles."

Schalke 04 finds it difficult to get one person missing, let alone two less. Hoffenheim's playing style can easily make the opponent feel that he is short of manpower and is stretched everywhere.

Hoffenheim runs actively during the game, especially Chu Zhongtian, who runs from the backcourt to the frontcourt, from the left to the right. Watching their game always makes the audience think that Hoffenheim always has one more person than his opponent.

Rangnick once said in an interview with reporters: "With Chu, we will always have one more person on the court than the opponent!"

Englar was sent off, and Hoffenheim's attack became even sharper.

Hoffenheim gave a free kick, and Salihovic did not shoot the ball directly at the goal, but passed it to Chu Zhongtian diagonally in front. After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, Schalke 04 now only had two defensive midfielders, so he did not press on him, but was preventing him from passing the ball to others. He suddenly took a long shot about twenty-five meters away from the goal!

Fortunately, Neuer was still focused and fell to the ground and saved the football.

Then Lütten replaced forward Altentop and replaced defender Bordon. He wanted to stabilize the defense. Ten minutes before the end of the game, Lütten seemed to no longer intend to pursue victory. What he was worried about was that the team would concede another goal under Hoffenheim's crazy attack. A small loss to this Bundesliga this season... No, maybe it is not a shame to be the darkest dark horse in Europe. You should know that Bayern Munich had tied by Hoffenheim at their own home court, and Dortmund was also slaughtered 1:4 away. The powerful men fell to their feet, including Hamburg and Wolfsburg. Schalke 04 lost only one goal, and Hamburg lost 0:4. While Wolfsburg was against them, although they scored two goals in Hoffenheim, their own goal was also hit into a sieve.

After Bordong took the field, he did not stabilize the situation. Hoffenheim's offense was still like a tide, one wave after another, and seemed endless.

In the 86th minute, the full-back Baker pressed up to assist, and he passed the ball from the right. Ibissevic received the ball from the right side of the penalty area and turned around and shot. Neuer fell to the ground and blocked it again, following Demba who had made a follow-up shot. Ba shot the ball directly into the sky, and Schalke 04 escaped again.

Two people were sent off, and the score was behind. Now the team can only be beaten passively, and there is no hope of equalizing the score at all... Such a embarrassment made Schalke 04's coaches always resent the referee's penalty, and they kept talking nonsense to the referee on duty on the sidelines.

So in the 87th minute, referee Gagelman again received a notice from the fourth official, deliberately suspended the game, ran 60 meters, and came to Schalke 04's coach seat. This time he showed another assistant coach, Michael_buskens, and drove him out of the court!

"Wow! Four red cards, two were given to Schalke 04's players, and two were given to Schalke 04's coach..."

"The mentality of Schalke 04's players has been completely unbalanced. It is not surprising that they lost to Hoffenheim in this game. Their attention was not in the second half at all, but only on fouls and disputes with the referees. As coaches, Biskens and Mild did not set a good example for the players!" Effenberg criticized Schalke 04 without any mercy.

Hoffenheim's offense continued, and they did not shrink their defense as the game ended. They actually had a chance to score until the injury time. Unfortunately, they only replaced Demba. Welington, who appeared in the 90th minute, pushed Baker's cross to the top.

When Hoffenheim's attack ended, the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the game.

"The game is over! Ahha! The game is over! Hoffenheim defeated the 'miner' Schalke 04 2-1 in a hand-to-hand battle! They won the winter championship and led Bayern Munich three-pointers! It is not a equal score, not a goal difference, but a difference in points. Hoffenheim deserves this winter championship, and even Bayern Munich has to bow his head in front of this team!"

"In the 17th round of the league in half, Hoffenheim won twelve games, draw two games and lost three games. He scored forty-eight goals, conceded twenty-four goals, and had a net victory of twenty-four goals, and ranked first in the Bundesliga. The team's top scorer Ibissevic is also the best scorer in the Bundesliga so far, scoring twenty goals in the 17th round of the league! In addition, they have the most shots in the Bundesliga, and they have created the most scoring opportunities in the Bundesliga! Such Hoffenheim deserves the winter championship!" Everyone is always generous with praise for the winners.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Carl Mercedes-Benz Stadium heard a huge cheer. Hoffenheim fans witnessed the scene of this rural team ascending the winter championship throne, and they witnessed history!

"This is definitely the most brilliant moment in the history of Hoffenheim's team that has been established for 110 years, but it's just so far! What kind of miracles can they create? It's really exciting! This season's Bundesliga has become a good look because of Hoffenheim. Thank you, the young men from the village!"

Schalke 04 fans in the stands quickly left, but none of the Hoffenheim fans left. Hoffenheim players on the field were celebrating their winter championship. Although this championship had no medals or prize plates, 70% of the teams that won the winter championship ended up winning the season.

Winning the winter championship means they are very close to the league championship.

After celebrating the victory, Hoffenheim players ran back to the locker room. When they came out, they wore a white T-shirt on their upper body, which read "Rhine Neka welcomes you!" This is promoting the newly built stadium.

The staff had prepared a banner, letting the players walk around the field for a while. The text on the banner was "danke_mannheim!" This is in German, and it was translated as "Thank you Mannheim!"

Because the stadium is not enough and the new stadium is not built, the team borrowed the Mannheim stadium in the new season. In this stadium, they set a record of 8 wins and 1 draw. This stadium brought them good luck.

At the beginning, when they played at this stadium, there were often slogans insulting them in the stands. This was not all from the visiting team. Some of them were local Mannheim fans who disliked Hoffenheim. But as the season progressed, when Hoffenheim played better and better, local Mannheim residents found that the team was not so disgusting, and they also liked such passionate offensive football.

The more and more fans came to cheer for Hoffenheim, and after that, Karl Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which can accommodate 26,300 people in each home game in Hoffenheim, was full of every game.

A good home atmosphere is one of the important reasons why the team can achieve nine unbeaten games at home.

Now that the new stadium has been completed, the team is leaving Mannheim, we naturally have to thank the enthusiastic fans and the city here.

Chu Zhongtian looked around the stadium stands. Except for the stands where the visiting team fans were empty, most of them stayed and said goodbye to Mannheim with them.

After the winter break, he will go to the new stadium to play. Can we still be unbeaten at home? Can we still win? He doesn't know, but one thing he is sure - as long as Hoffenheim can keep playing this attractive football and win, the Rhine Neka Stadium, which can accommodate three people, will soon consider expanding and adding capacity... He saw someone holding his portrait in the stands, and wrote in Chinese: "Come on, Chu!" He ran over and threw the off-putting jersey into the stands. It was like throwing food among a large group of fish, which immediately attracted a lot of people to fight.

The person who grabbed the jersey was very happy, while the person who didn't. Seeing this, Chu Zhongtian simply took off the T-shirt "Rhine Neckka welcomes you!" and threw it on!

"Oh oh oh oh oh! Chu! Chu!" Seeing him so generous, the fans in the stands shouted excitedly.

Later, Chu Zhongtian took off his two pairs of shoes and threw them one by one. After throwing the shoes, they were socks, and after throwing the socks, they were leg guards... German fans were excited and pointed at Chu Zhongtian's shorts and shouted: "There is that! There is that!!"

Now Chu Zhongtian has nothing to cover his body except shorts. However, he was infected by the home atmosphere and took off his shorts as soon as his mind heated up!

"Wow!" Ibissevic and other teammates were stunned. At first, they saw Chu Zhongtian throwing the jersey to the fans, and they all thought it was a good idea. They were also ready to follow the example, but soon they saw Chu Zhongtian take off his shirt and take off his shoes, take off his socks, and finally even his shorts were taken off, leaving only a pair of underwear. They were all shocked - Chu was too crazy... After throwing the shorts on, Chu Zhongtian only wore a pair of underwear, but he didn't feel cold at all in the cold winter night. When he thought of the future prospects of the team, he felt that his blood was boiling. How could he still be cold? He stood in front of the stands and interacted with the fans through the barbed wire. He waved his fists, and the fans shouted at him: "Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! We are Hoffenheim!! We are the winter champions!"

This time they were very considerate and did not let Chu Zhongtian take off, but judging from the bulge of her tight underwear, Chu Zhongtian's place was quite large... Many female fans were already drooling in secret... The stands were driven by Chu Zhongtian and became the focus of attention of the audience. Rangnick turned his head and looked there, and then laughed.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to Carl Mercedes-Benz Stadium nakedly, while Hoffenheim said goodbye to Mannheim with a winter championship and an unbeaten at home. The first half of the Bundesliga season ended, and Bayern Munich did not win the winter championship in the end, but they still have hope and are only three points behind. But no matter what, Hoffenheim's performance in the past half season has won the respect of everyone, and they have conquered the picky media and fans.

At the beginning of the season, you can often hear remarks cursing Hoffenheim, and the media always complained about this newly promoted team.

But half a season has passed and everything has changed. When people talk about Hoffenheim, they will only be amazed by their performance and like the football they play. Everyone no longer cares about how much money their boss has, or how many international players this team is, and how many local players are. For fans, the money of the boss has nothing to do with them, so what if they play eleven international players on the court? As long as they can win, as long as they play well, they will support them.

Just like Arsenal and Chelsea, both teams are famous for international players, but still have a large number of supporters.

So these factors that were criticized before are all trivial and not worth worrying about. Football is actually very simple, it is a game of victory or defeat. If you can win and play well, you won’t have to worry about no one likes it. It is not necessarily a good thing to make football so complicated.

Hoffenheim's bus slowly drove out of the parking lot of Carl-Benz Stadium.

Ibisevic waved to the stadium behind the side in the car: "Goodbye, Mannheim."

When Chu Zhongtian heard his words, he looked back. In the night, the lighting lights on the top of the stands of the Carl-Benz Stadium had completely turned off, and the fans were gradually dissipating. Some people saw Hoffenheim's bus and waved the blue scarf and Hoffenheim's flag in their hands and cheered.

The owner of this stadium is in the D-League and is facing bankruptcy. There is no sign of upgrading at present. If nothing unexpected happens, Hoffenheim will not return to this stadium for a while unless he plays in the German Cup.

But all Hoffenheim players will definitely remember the half season they competed on this stadium in a long time... It's like a fairy tale, not so real, but it really happened.

Carl-Benz Stadium is getting smaller and smaller, and is gradually being left out of sight. Hoffenheim's bus drove towards the hotel where they were staying. The German word "Host Home" is separated, which means "Hometown of Hope". The bus seems to be carrying hope forward.
Chapter completed!
