When Chu Zhongtian suddenly dribbled the ball forward, the Hoffenheim fans in the stands cheered suddenly. They had watched this scene many times at the Rhineka Stadium - every time Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball forward, it always brought them some surprises. So they started cheering when Chu Zhongtian rushed in front of the ball, and then as Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Sarihovic, Sarihovic swept into the penalty area, their cheers became louder and louder, and finally reached the climax at the moment Demba Ba shot the football into the goal!

"Long live Hoffenheim!!"

"In the 23rd minute, Hoffenheim took the lead! They finally scored a goal!" Commentator Duan Bin was also very excited. Hoffenheim's goal meant that their hope of winning the championship increased greatly, so Chu Zhongtian's honor was obtained. "Before the game, Schalke 04 was aggressive, but the first goal was the visiting team Hoffenheim! Their sharp attack made the opponent feel a headache as always!"

"Denba! This is his 22nd goal this season! He scored the first record for the team!"

After Ibissevic was injured and retired from the season, his goals this season were stopped at the 26th, and the other scorers' competition for the Bundesliga Golden Boot has begun. The most advantageous one is Wolfsburg's Brazilian scorer Grafitte, who has now scored 26 goals, the same as Ibissevic's number. As long as he continues to score goals in this game, he will surpass Ibissevic and hold up the Bundesliga Golden Boot. On Hoffenheim, Demba, who scored 22 goals, is obviously no hope of competing for the Bundesliga Golden Boot.

After scoring the goal, Demba and his teammates hugged each other. This goal gave everyone a reassurance - no matter what happens in the future, we are the one who leads now, and we have the advantage. Hoffenheim is very good at playing football in the lead state, and even if they are equalized, they are confident that they are scoring. So far, Hoffenheim is the team with the most leading times this season and the team with the most winning games in the lead state.

Hoffenheim players celebrate the goal, while Schalke 04's head coach Biskens was furious about the team's defense.

"Three-foot pass! The opponent only used three-foot passes to our goal! What are our people doing? How do they defend!" Biskens complained to his assistant coach. In his opinion, Schalke 04 is the best team in the Bundesliga defense, it should not be so easily broken by the opponent.

Hoffenheim's entire goal process was very simple and clear, not fancy. It was Chu Zhongtian and Weiss joined forces to intercept the ball, and Weiss passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball forward. After attracting the attention of two opponent's defensive players, he then divided the ball to the side. Then Sarihovic received the ball and made a pass directly, Demba and Ba shot and scored. From the offensive line, it was the middle-edge-center, and then the football rolled into the goal.

Schalke 04 failed to defend such a simple offensive routine, no wonder Biskens was dissatisfied. The transition coach walked to the sidelines and shouted to the players on the court: "Get up on your spirits! What are you doing! We must score a goal!!"

※※After the game restarted, Schalke 04 launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's goal amid the roar of Biskens, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.

More than 56,000 fans at home also burst into loud shouts to cheer for their team. As Schalke 04 fans, they do not hate Hoffenheim, but if Schalke loses to Hoffenheim, they will lose the opportunity to go to other European courts to watch the game next season, so they hope their team will defeat Hoffenheim.

If Schalke 04 loses hope of entering Europe early or obtains European qualifications early, then this game will evolve into a real feast, and Schalke 04 fans will be happy to see Wolfsburg lose the league championship.

The Aofu Schalke Stadium made a huge noise, impacting the eardrums of everyone present. The Schalke 04 players were very adaptable to playing in such an environment, so they fought bravely against the shouts of the fans.

The Hoffenheim players are still a little uncomfortable, and the noise is too loud, which makes everyone gradually become a little impatient, especially when they shout at each other, they can't hear what their teammates are saying.

It is very important to communicate on the court, so if there are fewer audiences on the scene, the audience watching TV can often hear the players yelling during the game. Even ordinary fans who have their own experience in playing football have this feeling. They always shout on the court, such as reminding their teammates to run, asking them to go forward or return to defense, telling them to pay attention to the situation behind them... etc. After all, a person only has two eyes, and they are all in front of their heads. It is impossible to really look at all at the same time and listen to all directions at the same time. At this time, teammates need to remind and shout. If the stadium is too noisy, teammates cannot hear the reminder of their teammates, and they are prone to some unexpected situations... If you cannot hear the reminder of your teammates, players often have an uneasy psychological state, and they will become impatient.

Schalke 04's Devil's home court finally showed their sharp teeth in front of Hoffenheim's players.

Huge sound waves hit Hoffenheim players one after another, causing them to make some mistakes in the game.

For example, I thought my teammates would jump forward, so I passed the football in advance, but my teammates didn't notice this at all, and the football fell to the opponent's feet.

During this period, Hoffenheim played in a very miserable way after leading, and it must be said that it is related to this home court. The first time they experienced such a noisy stadium environment, if they stayed in it for a long time, they were really worried that they would be deaf.

Seeing this, Rangnick also made adjustments. He signaled Chu Zhongtian to stabilize the defense during this period, and don’t rush to push out and attack the opponent. Schalke 04 is now in full swing, and Hoffenheim’s goal angered them. They cannot tolerate failure when fighting at home. In this case, with Hoffenheim’s defensive level, it is easy to be scored by Schalke 04, who is fighting at home.

If you use numbers to show football, based on 100% as the standard, the teams playing away generally have combat effectiveness ranging from 70 to 50%, and rarely have 100%. However, the combat effectiveness of the teams playing at home can soar to 105%. On the stadium they are familiar with, with the support of familiar fans, a kind of idea that "this is my territory, I can do whatever I want here, and no one can defeat me on my territory". This is the source of combat effectiveness.

Now it is this idea that motivates Schalke 04 players - there is no reason to lose on their own territory!

It only four minutes passed before Hoffenheim scored, Schalke almost scored the goal.

At that time, they got a corner kick, Rakitic took a corner kick from the right, and Korstadic headed the ball in front of the goal. Because it was too noisy at the time, the scene seemed a bit messy, so no one was going to defend the opponent's central defender who was 1.91 meters tall.

Fortunately, the Serbian's header was slightly higher and did not fly into the goal, otherwise it was hard to say what direction the game would develop.

Hildebran was very dissatisfied with his teammates' defense this time, and he roared at them: "Stay———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

When Schalke 04 attacked, he became the busiest and most photogenic person in the team. If this situation continues to develop, he might even win the best in the game. Of course, he would rather not have such a reward, as long as the team can win successfully and win the league championship.

The first time it was so close to the league championship, everyone was a little confused. After leading the way, the idea of ​​the league championship emerged from the bottom of their hearts and kept floating in front of their eyes.

They were promoted before the season, but now they can become league champions. When they think of this, everyone feels blood rushing to their heads and forgetting to think.

※※※A sudden booing broke out in Volkswagen Arena, and Wolfsburg fans learned that Hoffenheim was leading Schalke 04. This score means that no matter how many goals Wolfsburg scored, he would not win the league championship.

"Hoffenheim..." Assistant coach Echkorn planned to report the news to head coach Magath, but Magath shook his head and said: "No, I understand."

When Hoffenheim scored a goal, Wolfsburg had already scored two goals. Now they are leading their opponent Werder Bremen. Just before Hoffenheim scored, Bremen once again attacked and threatened Wolfsburg's goal. This was their first threatening attack in this game, which made Magath very dissatisfied with his team's defense on the sidelines.

Then there was news that Hoffenheim scored a goal, but the stern Magath did not furiously. This was within his expectations. With Hoffenheim's attacking power, it was impossible for them to score without a goal. The key was whether they could win the ball after scoring the ball. Magath did not value the process, and only the result was the result. As long as Hoffenheim lost the ball in the end, that would be fine.

Seeing Echkorn was a little anxious after learning that Hoffenheim scored, Magath said to his assistant: "Don't worry, the game has only been going on for twenty-five minutes. Schalke will not be willing to lose at his home court."

After a few minutes, Eshcoen came to Magath again with a happy look on his face: "You are right, Felex Schalke has launched a fierce attack now. Their offensive is very strong. Hoffenheim can only shrink the defense. They are not good at defending...hey!"

※※※Hoffenheim is indeed not good at defense. Although Chu Zhongtian and Weiss work hard, they both have to defend in the middle and support the wing, and sometimes they have to retreat to the goal to play a temporary guest appearance as a central defender. However, facing Schalke 04's continuous offensive one after another, they will not play much role.

Compared with their offense, Hoffenheim's defense has not yet formed a mature system, and most of the time players rely on personal abilities and instincts.

When Rangnick saw this scene off the court, he thought that no matter whether he can win the league championship this season, his focus next season will be adjusted to rectifying defense. He has been practicing defense since the pre-season training in the summer, and he cannot always rely on offense to solve the game. In the Champions League, the opponents he encountered are stronger, and his attack power is not inferior to Hoffenheim, but what should he do if the defense is much better than the Bundesliga team? Rangnick certainly won't let the team change to defensive counterattacks from now on, and pursues 1:0ism, but defense must be basically up to standard, right? In the entire European football world this season, the most popular team is Ba Celona is known for their offense, but their defense is not bad, otherwise how could they win so many championships? So far, they have won the La Liga championship and the Spanish Cup of Dec, and they have reached the final of the UEFA Champions League, hoping to compete for the triple crown. The La Liga season is not over yet, and the last round is still away. Barcelona has scored a record 104 goals, with their attack power surpassing the entire Europe, and they have only conceded 34 goals. This defense is the second best in the Bundesliga, only worse than Schalke 04, who has conceded 33 goals.

Everyone focused on Barcelona's super attack line, but they did not see their stable performance in the defense line. Barcelona's attack is their tradition, but why can't they win the championship every year before? It is because their defense was not very good before. They often laughed at the decisive rival Real Madrid for their poor defense, but in fact they were not much better. This season, their defense has stabilized all of a sudden, and their results have naturally improved.

Of course, you can win the championship by attacking, provided that your defense also needs to keep up.

Schalke 04 bombarded Hoffenheim's goal for ten minutes. At the 34th minute, they finally received the reward.

Kulanyi retreated and responded, and then when facing Chu Zhongtian's defense in the middle, he did not insist on tangling with Chu Zhongtian like Rakitic, but chose to pass the ball very simply. Jones, who was inserted behind, received the ball and passed it horizontally on the left side of the penalty area. Falfan scored the ball in the back point under Comper's close defense. Comper had no choice but to tackle the ball. This kind of tackle could easily tackle people, which caused a penalty kick. However, at this time, Comper couldn't take care of so much and directly stepped on the ball.

Falfan was indeed tackled by him, but at the same time he also mentioned the ball. This defense actually made Falfan's unconventional lying shot, and he swept the ball into the goal with his left foot!

Hildebran guarded the front point. It was too late to see the football pass to the back point and then pounce on it. He could only watch the football roll into the goal from front of him.

Seeing Schalke scored 04, a huge cheer burst out from the Aofu Schalke Stadium. At that moment, the sound made by these fans was very close to the historical record of 127 decibels... Duan Bin wore that heavy soundproof headphones and still couldn't hear what he was saying. He tried his best to improve his voice: "The ball has entered! Schalke 04 equalized the score! But it doesn't matter. If it's just a draw, Hoffenheim will still win the championship! Unless... Unless Wolfsburg can beat Werder Bremen by nine goals! But this is obviously even more impossible!"

His live commentary sounded like he was hoarse to the TV audience, but in fact it was caused by not being able to hear his own voice... The scene was really noisy, very noisy. The cheers made by Schalke 04 fans can almost make people have a heart attack.

※※※"Schalke scored 04!"

The news spread in the Volkswagen Arena, causing cheers from Wolfsburg fans.

But in the coaching seat, Magath's face did not improve.

"It's just a draw. Even if it draws, Hoffenheim will win the championship. There's nothing to be happy about." said this, but Magath was looking forward to Schalke 04 continuing to score. Only when Schalke 04 leads Hoffenheim, he will stand up and cheer.

He didn't expect that just after he finished cheering, he heard news of Hoffenheim's goal. This way he looked like a fool.

Although Magath did not express his happiness on his lips, everyone still felt very excited. Schalke 04 equalized the score, which is a good sign. As long as they scored another one, wouldn't it be the lead? So don't look at the moment, but the situation changes. The current situation is obviously beneficial to Schalke 04. They just equalized the score and were still fighting at home, and their morale was strong. In addition, Hoffenheim is now equalized, and the morale is low, and the pressure to win the championship is enough to crush this young team. As one goes up and down, as long as Schalke 04 makes a concerted effort, it is not too difficult to win Hoffenheim...※※ Hoffenheim, who was equalized, did show a certain degree of panic. In a short time, their goal looks like they may lose the ball at any time. Schalke 04 scored a goal and bombarded Hoffenheim's 30-meter area, and every attack is quite threatening.

Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian kept using his strong defense to interfere with Schalke 04's offense, which boosted the team's morale. At this time, the Hoffenheim fans in the stands also used singing to motivate their team.

"The draw is no big deal!" Chu Zhongtian, who returned to the goal defense with a corner kick in Schalke 04, shouted to his teammates, "Even if the draw is tied, we are the champion! So there is nothing to panic! You can play as much as you should!"

His shouting made many people wake up in a dream - yes, even if we tied, the league championship was ours. Why did we perform like we lost the ball after being tied? This makes no sense!

The Wolfsburg people feel that the dream of the first Bundesliga champion will become the last straw that will crush the Hoffenheim.

But in fact, this dream is the full motivation of Hoffenheim players, enough to make them forget other adverse factors.

In the remaining time of the first half, Hoffenheim, who had gradually adjusted, defended Schalke 04's offensive and did not concede the ball. Schalke 04 was unable to continue attacking after a while. They also needed to adjust to avoid attacking too hard and were seized by Hoffenheim to counterattack and score a goal. Hoffenheim's sharp reputation in offense still made his opponent very afraid.

In this way, both sides entered the halftime break with a score of 1:1. Schalke 04's players looked solemn when they came out because the draw was useless to them. Hoffenheim's players seemed full of confidence after defending Schalke 04's attack.

As long as the score remains until the end of the game, they will still win the league championship.
Chapter completed!
