Chapter 137 Chu Zhongtian, enter one
The rain is getting heavier and heavier. At the beginning, it was broadcasted through TV. Basically, I couldn’t see the stadium raining. Until now, there are silver-white rain lines on the TV broadcast. Time passes by minute by minute, and both sides have opportunities, but it seems that they are a little bit short.
Hoffenheim was motivated by Chu Zhongtian's long shot on the post, while Manchester United was unwilling to lose at home and was also full of fighting spirit.
This game has entered a white-hot stage.
"Rooni, Rooney, Rooney!!! Ah! Simonic pushed him down! It looks like this will be a yellow card! Ahha, sure enough, Simonic received a yellow card. This is the third yellow card in this game. In terms of yellow cards, Hoffenheim temporarily led 2:1..."
"Valencia's breakthrough on the wing is very sharp... He crossed! Rooney--"
The huge cheer in the stands turned into sighs in an instant.
"He missed the shot!"
"Manchester United won a corner kick...Manchester United's offensive was quite strong during this period, and Hoffenheim retreated... Giggs took the corner kick... It was Rooney again!!! Oh! Go out! Rooney became active, he changed his sluggish state in the first half and showed his killer nature!"
Of course, Hoffenheim soon returned to his color.
"Sana...shot? Beautiful! Kutssack's pounce was beautiful! He was also very satisfied with his performance, but why didn't there be a Manchester United player on defense before Sana's shot? Do they think that only Chu will shoot from a long shot outside the penalty area? Hoffenheim got a corner kick...Salihovic is ready to drive...the front point! Ibissevic! It's so dangerous! It's off..."
"Chu Duo cut Carrick's pass, his position was very accurate, and it seemed that it would stop Manchester United's attack effortlessly! The direct pass impressed the attack... Van Nistrui was slow, oh. If this ball was Obasi, maybe it would have it. Van Nistrui is old and his speed is not his strength..."
"Chu fouled against Valencia inward, Manchester United won a free kick, twenty-five yards away from the goal, Giggs took the penalty...it was high!"
During this period, both sides fought back and forth, and the fight was very lively. However, because of the fierce battle, both sides gradually became angry and took advantage of the slippery field and their movements became increasingly fierce.
Perhaps in order to ease this tension, in the 68th minute, a naked fan with Manchester United velvet hat rushed into the stadium. Of course, he was soon caught by the stadium security guard who was waiting for him and sent out of the stadium.
The game starts again.
The tense atmosphere did not ease with a sudden naked runner. After the naked runner was taken off the court, the game continued, and the fight between the two sides remained the same.
In the 70th minute, Carrick also received a yellow card because of tripping Salihovic. Now the two sides have tied 2:2 in terms of the number of yellow cards.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian wiped the water from his face, and could no longer tell which ones were sweat and which were rain.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the impact on the game is getting bigger and bigger. The strength of the ground pass is difficult to control. When playing in the air, the opponent has two central defenders with excellent heading skills, Vidic and Ferdinand. Hoffenheim cannot take advantage of it... The dribbling is not as easy as before. The only advantage seems to be that the long-range shot threatens to be greater.
Manchester United obviously knew it, so they stepped up their long shots. In the past few minutes, Manchester United had two offensive opportunities, all ended with long shots.
This is not like the players' own decisions. If he guessed correctly, it should be the special instructor of Manchester United coach Ferguson during the break. Just as Rangnick said to him. In fact, there is nothing strange about this. Even ordinary fans know how long shots are on rainy days. How can the most professional coaches not know how to use them?
Chu Zhongtian felt that his shot today was very good, but his luck was not on his side. He missed a little, hit the post, and was blocked by the goalkeeper... Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't get into the goal.
But he did not decide to give up, he still wanted to shoot. He also wanted Coach Rangnick to see if he needed to be careful of Fletcher... If he didn't score, there would be no convincing power.
※※※"The game is so intense..." In the stands, Boss John and the others were talking about the game. It is time for dead balls, so they have time to chat for a few words.
"Yes, yes, to be honest, I didn't expect Hoffenheim to force Manchester United to this point before the game..."
"Idiot!" Someone interrupted him, "What's impossible with Chu Zai? I never doubt Hoffenheim's strength because they have Chu!"
"When it comes to Chu, he has a strong desire to shoot today, but his luck seems to be not very good... He has made several threatening shots, but he has not scored a goal."
"If he could score a goal, the game would be perfect."
"Yes, Chu, score a goal!"
"Score a goal, Chu!"
"Goal!"
"Goal, Chu!"
Everyone's voices gradually flowed together, and then formed a neat and rhythmic shout: "Goals, goals, Chuchuchu! Goals, goals, Chuchuchu!"
The sound became louder and louder, slowly affecting the German fans around them. Although German and English were different, the writing and pronunciation of the word "goal" was still similar. As for "Chu", the Germans understood what the group of British were shouting, and they also started shouting.
In fact, this is also the voice of Hoffenheim fans. Now the two sides are in a state of heat, but they are in a certain stalemate. Everyone has a chance, but no one can break the window paper. If Chu Zhongtian can score a goal, he can break the deadlock, which of course is good.
※※※The fans suddenly shouted on the court, and the singing of Manchester United fans was intermittent, but everyone could still hear what they were shouting.
This sentence translated to the Chinese arena: "Chu Zhongtian, enter one! Chu Zhongtian, enter one!!"
Chu Zhongtian naturally heard it and laughed. It seemed that the fans also felt that he had a high desire to shoot today, but he was not lucky. He hoped that he could break the constraints of this luck and score a goal.
OK, then enter one!
When Hoffenheim attacked, Chu Zhongtian ran without the ball and inserted it into the front, and then raised his hand to ask his teammate for the ball. After his teammate passed the football over, he turned around and shot without any pause. This time the shot was a little higher, and the football flew out of the baseline against the crossbar, shocking Kutssack and Manchester United fans again in a cold sweat.
Chu Zhongtian discovered something in this shot - he seemed to have a higher grasp of those difficult shots.
Think about it carefully, my fame battle, played Chelsea in the FA Cup. The second goal he scored was overtaken by the score. The final winning goal was shot hard by Lampard after several consecutive players and was hit hard by Lampard from the side, losing balance, and trying hard to maintain the center of gravity. As a result, the football shot was of surprising quality and directly pierced through the goal guarded by Cudicini.
In the second leg of the game against Bayern Munich last season, that game is likely to determine the ownership of the league championship. It was the last moment of the game that he staggered with the ball while being fouled by two Bayern Munich players, facing Lucio and Van Biden's defense, and suddenly kicked off and scored a winning goal for the team.
For most players, they can adjust their time and space, and have a higher goal rate when shooting with a calm foot. The ball shot under fierce confrontation is easily outrageously biased or directly fired anti-aircraft guns. But for Chu Zhongtian, his body seems to prefer this difficult and irregular shooting action.
Fletcher defended him very tightly in this game, and Carrick was also eyeing him, ready to defend him at any time. The defensive pressure he faced in the offense was very high, but this gave him good conditions to shoot... Chu Zhongtian continued to reach out for the ball.
When Hoffenheim attacks, if Chu Zhongtian doesn't raise his hand to ask for the ball, then everyone will pass the ball according to their own ideas. But once Chu Zhongtian raises his hand to ask for the ball, no matter what the situation is, his teammates will pass the ball to him. This is what Rangnick repeatedly emphasized in daily training, and it is also the experience everyone has gained in the past season of the game.
Anyway, if he raises his hand and asks for the ball, it means he has a solution to the problem, so let's hand the football to him. We just need to cooperate with him with all our strength.
As the game time passed, Manchester United's Chu Zhongtian's defense became more and more stringent. This was also Ferguson's adjustment during the half-time break. After finding that Chu Zhongtian's desire to shoot today was higher than before, although Ferguson was not sure about this, which was deliberately arranged by Rangnick, Chu Zhongtian was occasionally interested, but for safety reasons, he still made targeted arrangements. That is, when the game time entered 70 minutes, he strengthened the defense against Chu Zhongtian's shot.
Ferguson really knows Chu Zhongtian very well and knows that Chu Zhongtian often scores goals as the game is approaching the end of the game. This is because Chu Zhongtian has very good physical fitness. When there is little time left, his opponents often have no strength because they have run for seventy or eighty minutes. They are prone to space in defense and lack of concentration due to physical decline, and make mistakes. However, he is still physically strong and runs strongly, so he can naturally seize these spaces and the opponent's mistakes to score goals.
So after entering the 70th minute of this game, Chu Zhongtian obviously felt that Fletcher and Carrick were pushing tighter and closer when defending themselves. In the past, they always had one person on the periphery to defend themselves from passing the ball.
This is to stop yourself from shooting.
But they never thought that if they forced themselves up like this, would there be a lot of room for other places? And using passes to mobilize opponents is Chu Zhongtian’s best at.
In the 75th minute, Manchester United launched an offensive and hit the front of Hoffenheim's penalty area. Rooney's long shot was steadily held by Hildebran. Then Hildebran jumped up from the ground and threw the football in front.
Sana headed the ball to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian stopped the football in the air with his chest. At this time, Carrick had already rushed up, while Fletcher was still behind the center circle and did not push forward rashly.
Facing Carrick's defense, Chu Zhongtian did not continue to dribble the ball. He stopped the football from the air with his chest, and directly passed the football that had not yet landed underneath, giving Eduardo a diagonally in front. Although this small move looks less conspicuous than riding a bicycle, it can reflect Chu Zhongtian's sense of ball. After four seasons of training in Ligue 1 and being trained by Zidane's mentor, his skills have improved by leaps and bounds. In addition, his psychological quality is excellent, so he dares to do some difficult moves in the game, but ordinary players are afraid of making mistakes and are unwilling to try these difficult moves.
If this action is not very eye-catching if you don't watch it slowly, it saves time, so Carrick has no time to stick it up and intercept the ball. After passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian continued to run forward, and Carrick also turned around and followed. Ferguson asked them to compress Chu Zhongtian's time and space in defense and not give him the chance to handle the ball calmly. He must follow the execution.
When Eduardo received the ball, Fletcher glanced at Chu Zhongtian and finally decided to defend Eduardo. Chu Zhongtian was only likely to receive the ball, but Eduardo had already received the ball. As a defensive player, it was impossible to leave the ball-control player alone in order to defend a player who might participate in the offense. Eduardo originally planned to use his footwork to pass Fletcher, and playing against a team like Manchester United made him very excited. He was determined to show himself in front of a giant team. So he drove the ball forward and planned to pass Fletcher.
But Fletcher did not come up and pounce directly, but retreated with great experience, delaying time and buying time for his teammates to return to defense. In addition, he did not forget to look at Chu Zhongtian with his eyes while defending Eduardo. He saw Chu Zhongtian running wildly towards Manchester United's penalty area after passing the ball.
Eduardo saw that the opponent was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, but the opponent still couldn't come up. He just retreated and planned to change direction and break through. But when he looked up, he saw Chu Zhongtian following in the middle raised his hand.
Although he wanted to make a breakthrough in person, when he saw Chu Zhongtian raise his hand, he hesitated for a while and passed the football over.
Chu Zhongtian's running position and the timing of the ball were very accurate, but Eduardo did not count the hesitation, so when Eduardo passed the football over, he ran over... He had to stop quickly and turn around and control the ball again. This gave Carrick and Fletcher time to return to defense. When Chu Zhongtian controlled the football back, Fletcher was already behind him, and Carrick was rushing from the front to intercept the ball.
Originally, Chu Zhongtian planned to pass Eduardo to the football. He kept shooting from a long shot while Fletcher and Carrick were not chasing him. He always felt particularly good when such a difficult shot.
Unexpectedly, Eduardo was hesitant and lost the opportunity to shoot directly. However, he reacted quickly. Seeing that Carrick was about to cut off his ball, he pushed the ball to the left and flashed to chase the ball.
Carrick couldn't hit him, so he turned around and continued to chase him, and Fletcher followed him.
Chu Zhongtian caught up with the ball, turned around and stretched out his right foot, as if he wanted to continue dribbling. Fletcher, facing Chu Zhongtian, took the lead and planned to get stuck on the route, while Carrick waited for an opportunity to interfere with the ball from behind.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian turned around and hit the football back with his right foot!
At the same time, his left foot was stalked hard on the bottom of the turf, and then he pushed hard, turning up a large piece of turf. He stretched his right foot again, gently wade out the football that had been squeezed out of the football, avoiding Carrick's foot that was stretched out from behind. He turned around and spiked the ball to shake Fletcher and Carrick away at the same time!
"Beautiful! So beautiful!"
Chu Zhongtian, who had deducted his opponent, faced the goal again, and Carrick had already raised his hand to surrender. But Fletcher was unwilling to give up. It was not his style, so he tried hard to turn the center of gravity and rushed towards Chu Zhongtian. Unfortunately, the field was slippery. As soon as he turned the center of gravity, he felt his support foot slip, and his body, which had lost all the support, fell to the ground. He could only chase Chu Zhongtian with his eyes.
Originally, Ferdinand was preparing to retreat into the penalty area to defend Van Nistruei or Ibisevic. Anyway, Chu Zhongtian was handed over to Fletcher and Carrick. Isn't it okay to have two people defending him?
He didn't expect that he had just taken a step back and saw Carrick and Fletcher fall to the ground one after another, while Chu Zhongtian broke through the siege and drove out!
It was too late to change the center of gravity and rush up to defend. His feet slipped, but although he didn't fall, he lost all his motivation. His body stiffened and he couldn't continue with the next move.
But it is not right to say that Chu Zhongtian is now in a completely unguarded situation, because Giggs is in place to defend and is approaching Chu Zhongtian.
Judging from his speed and posture, he planned to fly Chu Zhongtian. If Chu Zhongtian swung his thigh and shot with a long shot, although his strength was very strong, his speed was too slow. He might have been shoveled away by Giggs before he hit the ball.
Chu Zhongtian looked down at the football under his feet, as if he had no idea what was going on behind him. He raised his legs... Giggs fell to the ground and flew to the football, stretched his feet to the football.
According to common sense, Chu Zhongtian should swing his feet a little longer so that he can exert force. But he only lifted his calves up, and his thighs did not move at all. He followed closely and bounced back like a loosened bowstring!
Shoot!
When Chu Zhongtian was facing the goal sideways, he suddenly shot out of the penalty area with his right foot instep!
No one expected that he shot in this way without exerting force on his thighs. Giggs's tackle was obviously slower. When he shoveled over, he didn't touch anything except the air. Chu Zhongtian raised his foot in the air and avoided his kick.
Because it was pulled by the outside instep, the football flew towards the bottom line outside the goal post in the air, and it looked like it was about to fly out of bounds. But in the middle, the football changed its line and drew an arc, bypassed Ferdinand, and also escaped from the situation where the bottom line was needed, and rushed straight to the goal!
Goalkeeper Kutssack was blocked by Ferdinand and hit him. When he saw the football coming back, he rushed back. It was too late. The football flew into the goal against the inside of the post!
"The ball...the ball is in! The ball is in!!"
"gooooooal!goooooooooal!!Hoffenheim leads again!!"
The football hit the ball net hard, spinning and stirring the ball net together, throwing a silver-white splash. Kutssack fell to the ground at this time, while Ferdinand turned to look at the goal, still maintaining his stiff posture just now.
This scene seemed to be frozen in the picture. Chu Zhongtian still kept shooting. Giggs fell to the ground and flew the shovel, and the splashes around him solidified in the air. Apart from this scene, there was no sound.
Soon the picture returned to normal, and all the sounds came back. In the short silence of Old Trafford Stadium, a sound suddenly sounded like a volcano eruption.
“its_my_chu—!!”
