At the beginning of the second half, Hoffenheim got a chance to set the ball in front of the penalty area. Hertha Berlin was still using foul tactics. Although their head coach allowed them to find more ways to attack while fouling, the players did not turn around this habit so quickly.

But Salihovic's direct free kick was flew by goalkeeper Drobney.

Head coach Favre was very dissatisfied with the player's free kicks to the opponent from the dangerous place as soon as he came up, but now he has no choice but to give a few sounds off the court. Once the game begins, the head coach can do very limited things.

He just kept telling the players: "Offensive! Offense!"

Amid his urging, Hertha Berlin began to have some offensives. In the 56th minute, Rafael broke through Pogattz from the bottom and made a cross. Ebert received the ball in front of the goal, then took a kick. The football hit Hoffenheim central defender Comper's leg and bounced out of the baseline. Hertha Berlin obtained a corner kick.

Seeing Hertha Berlin's consecutive shots, head coach Favre also sat back with peace of mind. Hertha Berlin's fans in the stands began to sing to cheer for their team.

However, this corner kick did not give Hertha Berlin a chance to hit the goal, but the football was hit by goalkeeper Hildebran and then fell to Chu Zhongtian's feet.

Chu Zhongtian did not turn around and dribble the ball. He turned his back to the attack direction, and behind him was Kachar. This kid was really following him.

He passed the football across to Ibissevic who rushed out of the penalty area. Ibissevic passed the football to Salihovic on the side. At this time, Chu Zhongtian had turned around and ran up. Salihovic passed the football to Chu Zhongtian in the middle. After receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian suddenly passed the football to the right. Because Hertha Berlin had just sent a corner kick, most of the players in the team have not yet returned to their position. There are large gaps in their backcourt. Chu Zhongtian took a fancy to one of the gaps and sent the football out.

The ball looks a bit big at first glance, but when the audience quickly discovered Obasi who was running forward at high speed on the right, they realized that the ball was passing just right.

The entire right was empty, and Chu Zhongtian's ball made Obasi very comfortable to pick up. When he received the ball, there was no defensive player around him!

"This is Hoffenheim's quick counterattack!"

The voices of Hertha fans in the Berlin in the stands were instantly suppressed by the cheers of Hoffenheim fans. At that moment, the shouts from the Rhine-Neka Stadium made them unable to even hear the sound of their own speech.

After receiving the ball, Obasi continued to drive forward, and entered the penalty area after only a few steps. Then he chose to push the ball to the far corner against the goalkeeper Drobney who was attacking. Drobney had already rushed to the near corner, but his legs were still dragged behind. The ball pushed by Obasi happened to hit Drobney's leg, and then jumped high and flew over the goal... "Aubasi shot! Didn't enter... was saved by Drobney! Drobney's performance in this game was really outstanding. He didn't need to bear too much responsibility for the ball he lost..."

Obasi lost the ball and held his head with both hands, looking very upset. Despite this, he still gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up after being upset, indicating that the ball was passing beautifully.

"Hoffenheim missed an opportunity to expand the score, which is a pity... Chu's pass is quite beautiful, penetrating the entire defense line of Hertha Berlin!"

Whenever Chu Zhongtian performed well, the TV broadcast camera would give Kachar a close-up shot. The Serbian made a bold statement before the game and wanted to give Chu Zhongtian some greatness, saying that Chu Zhongtian was always shrouding his head and did not dare to face him head-on.

In this game, Chu Zhongtian not only faced him head-on, but also left him helpless.

Katzal's expression is very depressed now... The TV broadcast only gave Katzal's face close-up, but he did not take a picture of his clenched fists.

※※※As the game progressed, the initiative of the game gradually fell into the hands of the leading Hoffenheim. Chu Zhongtian firmly controlled the rhythm. Even if Katchar was hindering him, he didn't think that there was anything else.

To him, Katzar is nothing compared to those opponents he has encountered, except for the foul.

But he is not afraid of fouls.

When Chu Zhongtian got the ball again, Kachar wanted to come up and press, but Chu Zhongtian suddenly accelerated and suddenly got rid of his defense.

Kachar was stunned for a moment, and saw Chu Zhongtian running away from him. An idea suddenly burst out from the depths of his mind, and a voice kept echoing in his ears - shovel him! shovel him! shovel him!

Only Chu Zhongtian's feet were left in his eyes.

Driven by that thought, he suddenly flew out, and the target was Chu Zhongtian's ankle!

Chu Zhongtian, who was running forward with the ball, suddenly felt danger in his heart. His left foot quickly raised. At this moment, Kazar's foot also arrived and was just pushing against the sole of his shoes.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell head-on.

"foul!"

Duan Bin screamed before the referee could blow the whistle. As a Chinese commentator, Chu Zhongtian was very happy for his outstanding performance, but he was also worried that injury would come to this excellent player. There are many players with better talent than Chu Zhongtian, and they eventually became obsessed with the frequent injuries. He did not want Chu Zhongtian to be attacked by injuries.

So after seeing Katchar's move that could make Chu Zhongtian break his legs, he couldn't wait for the referee to make a penalty, so he screamed, with anger in his tone. Logically speaking, as a football commentator on a national TV station, he should not have a personal position, but that is impossible. Even commentators from developed football countries such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Germany all have a very clear personal position. Moreover, when explaining the game between his own national players, it is understandable that his compatriots tend to be more fussy, and no one will nitpickly accuse the commentator of injustice.

The referee's whistle sounded as Duan Bin finished speaking.

There were huge boos and scolding sounds from the Rhine-Neka Stadium, pointing directly at Kazar.

But Kachar got up from the ground and signaled to the referee that he had not shoveled to the other party, but that it was Chu Zhongtian who was pretending to fall.

At this moment, Chu Zhongtian also got up from the ground, so he pointed at Chu Zhongtian and said, "Look, he has nothing to do, this must be a fake fall!"

Chu Zhongtian heard the conversation between him and the referee. He leaned over and said, "Don't joke. If I really fell, I would have tossed my ankles on the ground now. You did tackle me down, and there was nothing to say."

"This is impossible! You fake fall liar!" Katzar was excited. There was a reason for his excitement, because he had received a yellow card before, and the best result of shoveling people behind him was also a yellow card. He would be sent off, so of course he had to fight for himself.

Before Chu Zhongtian could speak, Weis next to him rushed out: "Fuck! How many times did you foul against Chu in this game, don't you know? Say Chu was a fake fall! Then you are..."

He was still cursing fiercely, but was pushed outside by Chu Zhongtian who reacted. This scolding caused a conflict between the players of both sides. I am afraid that Weis would receive a yellow card afterwards. As long as the referee had no problem with his mind, Katzal was sent off, and Hoffenheim could not make any mistakes.

Ibisevic had no cards on his body, and he was not afraid. He pointed at Katzal's nose and scolded him angrily: "You know in your heart that it was not a shovel. You are the liar!"

Seeing that the players on both sides were about to have a conflict, the referee quickly reminded the players on both sides to calm down with a hurry. Then he hooked his hand and called Kazar aside, took out two cards from his pocket, one red and the other yellow, first showed Kazar's yellow card, then showed him a red card, and sent him off!

"Red card! OK, Katzar was sent off!" Duan Bin felt a sense of pleasure of "evil people will be punished by evil people". Before this game, Katzar's disrespectful remarks to Chu Zhongtian were on the Chinese media. In China, the Serbian had been scolded many times, and even the 18th generation of his ancestors were caught. During the game, he repeatedly fouled against Chu Zhongtian, which had long attracted dissatisfaction and anger from Chinese fans in front of the TV. There were many insulting and critical remarks against Katzar on the Internet.

Now that Katzar is sent off, it is really his own fault and it is very satisfying.

"Karchar is so stupid..." This is the comment of the German commentator, "Has he forgotten that he already had a yellow card? Moreover, the foul was in the midfield, so there was no need for him to use a dangerous action like a flying tackle behind him. Let's see the slow release... Although he just shoveled to Chu's sole, it was a dangerous action. Regardless of whether it caused damage to the opponent's players in the end, as long as the action was done, it would be a yellow card..."

"Are he confused by his bold words before the game? I see that he is completely overexcited..."

Hertha Berlin's head coach Favre did not get furious off the court this time, but shook his head helplessly. From the moment he formulated foul tactics to curb Chu Zhongtian, he had such mental preparations - although foul tactics are very effective, they are also a double-edged sword, which is likely to reduce his team's players in the game. Therefore, foul tactics need to be matched with a goal so that the team can use them with ease.

They did this in Berlin, and the result was wonderful. They defeated Hoffenheim, who had already won five consecutive victories at the time and was in full swing.

But this time in Sinsheim, the situation changed, so this move naturally didn't work... No matter how unwilling Katzar was, he had to accept this result - he was sent off!

Hertha Berlin, who had no one, fell into chaos for a moment. Without Kazar's guard, Chu Zhongtian was like entering a no-man state. The midfielder frequently launched attacks and made a fatal wonderful pass.

Katzar's red card also reminded Hoffenheim players that fighting with the referee and the opponent is meaningless. The outcome is the same as Katzar. Now that the opponent is missing one person, that is our opportunity. There is really no need to continue to get entangled in this regard.

Even Weiss' performance was much more normal.

※※※In the 68th minute, less than five minutes after Kazar was sent off, Chu Zhongtian got the ball at the front of Hertha in Berlin. Simunic rushed to defend, allowing Chu Zhongtian to grab the space behind him to make a straight pass. Ibissevic inserted the diagonally and just caught the ball and did not offside.

Ibisevic, who received the ball, faced Hertha goalkeeper Drobni, who performed well throughout the game, and turned around and pushed the ball into the goal. The football flew into the goal from him.

2:0!

"Ibi! Ibi! Super Ibi!!" A huge cheer burst out from the stands at the Rhine-Neka Stadium.

"This is Ibisevic's 26th league goal, and he continues to lead the league scorer list!"

After leading two goals, Hoffenheim played more calmly. The players dared to do any moves. Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic made a continuous heel pass, which caused the Hoffenheim fans in the stands to scream.

Hertha Berlin had to give up their foul tactics and began to seek goals.

The game finally got back on track.

In the 79th minute, Weiss received a clever pass from Chu Zhongtian in the middle, broke into the penalty area and cooperated with Ibisevic for two passes and one, and moved to the middle to shoot. The football got into the goal from between Drogney's legs, 3:0!

Drogney, who had performed well before, felt like he was collapsed after conceding the second ball, and was actually hit by Weiss with a crotch-walking ball.

After scoring the goal, Weiss excitedly hugged Chu Zhongtian because during the halftime break, Chu Zhongtian let him control his temper and then strive for a goal. He controlled his temper and the goal followed.

"We're sure to win!" Hoffenheim players shouted as they gathered together to celebrate.

"Before the game, we thought the battle between the second and third places should be a fierce match that was evenly matched. However, although the scene was hot, it was actually one-sided. Faced with Hoffenheim's sharp attack, Hertha Berlin's successful foul tactics in the first half of the season had completely lost their effect. Hoffenheim became more mature. When they were frequently invaded by the opponent, they seemed to have changed a team in the second half and did not lose their calmness. And Kazar's foul ended up as a microcosm of Hertha Berlin's players in this game. They focused more on the knees and ankles of Hoffenheim players, rather than on football. It is no surprise that their failure..."

The commentator said that Hertha Berlin's head coach Favre would not agree. In his opinion, the foul tactics are fine. The problem is that the goal is too early to conceal the opponent's lead. With the psychological advantage, he will not be so prone to frequent fouls. If Hertha Berlin's first goal is Hertha Berlin, then Hoffenheim may still be unable to escape death in this game.

But there is no if for football games. The cruel reality is that his team is lagging behind the home team Hoffenheim by three goals, and from the scene, Hertha Berlin cannot find any way to equalize the score. It may be that there will be three goals in a row in ten minutes, but it is too small.

As the head coach, what else can Favre do?

He replaced all the offensive players on the bench who could be replaced on the court. He no longer expected to win, but just wanted not to lose too ugly. Even if he could score a goal, he could save some face. Otherwise, after the game, the media would say that Hertha Berlin lost and lost. Everyone would only remember how Hertha Berlin used foul tactics despicable in this game. Hoffenheim still scored three goals in response to the opponent's continuous fouls, which shows how incompetent Hertha Berlin's team is...※※※Favre's substitution received a reward at the last moment. The team used a mistake on Hoffenheim's defense line to score a goal that saved his face, but was finally not shaved.

But this is not worth his happiness, because their third league in the away game was already in danger. Bayern Munich and Stuttgart have not played yet. In the case of one more game, Hertha Berlin only led Bayern Munich and three-pointers ahead of Stuttgart. Bayern Munich faced Schalke 04 at home. The result of this game is still questionable, but Stuttgart will definitely end with the home team's victory. In this way, Stuttgart will at least score the same points as Hertha Berlin, but there is a gap in goal difference. Hertha Berlin may lose the third place in the league at any time.

Due to the decline in competitiveness in recent years, their qualifications for the Champions League have also been reduced. Now only the top two in the league can directly advance to participate in the Champions League, and the third place has to start from the outside qualifying matches. Therefore, the top three are very important. If you can finally get the third place, you can get the qualification to participate in the Champions League, which is a great benefit to the club's finances.

Hertha Berlin must defend their third place in the remaining five league rounds.

After winning this game, Hoffenheim relied on the advantage of a first game and temporarily rose to first place in the league. Wolfsburg will play on Sunday night, and his opponent is Cottbus. If nothing unexpected happens, Cottbus will not be able to stop Wolfsburg, and Hoffenheim will return to second place in the league by then.

Despite this, they successfully widened the gap between themselves and the third place in the league to four points. One game is no longer enough to allow the team behind to surpass them, which is relatively safe.

This victory is very critical. With only five rounds left in the league, the loss of any game will make a season's efforts vain. No one wants to fall before the finish line, right?

After one, most of the league games started in this round. Bayern Munich lost 0:1 to Schalke 04 at home, and Stuttgart defeated Frankfurt 2:0 at home, replacing Bayern Munich's third place in the league.

Another day later, the entire league round ended, Wolfsburg defeated Cottbus 2-0 away, regaining their first league throne.

Another day later, news came that Bayern Munich's head coach Klinsmann was fired by the club because of his poor ranking and poor record. The fast football he promoted at Bayern died.
