Van Gaal angrily scolded his players at halftime. He didn't have to worry about players causing him to rebel. After that unprecedented success season, his reputation in this team has reached its peak, and all players admired and trusted him, no matter what he said, even if he scolded them.

Just before this game, Bayern Munich players also expressed their desire to use the new German Super Cup as a birthday gift for Van Gaal. It shows how much he is loved by the players.

Therefore, even if he scolds these players so angryly, no one will feel unhappy.

Unlike Van Gaal, Rangnick is praising the team's performance in Hoffenheim's locker room.

"Facts have proved that our football works!" Rangnick was a little excited. This first half made him happy not only because he was ahead of Bayern Munich with one goal. The lead was very accidental, but the scene could tell everything. In the scene, Hoffenheim also had the advantage. This is what Rangnick valued the most.

"Think about what team we are against? Bayern Munich, who reached the Champions League final last season! But our performance was great, we completely suppressed them! Just keep playing like this!"

Rangnick said excitedly, waving his arm.

After three full seasons, his Hoffenheim finally had the style of a strong team. This proved that his cooperation with Chu Zhongtian was feasible.

As long as Chu Zhongtian is in good condition, the team's performance will have the most basic guarantee. Chu Zhongtian's condition is the most stable. Except for a short period of inexplicable unstable condition last season, there has been almost no similar situation in the past two seasons.

Although doing this is suspected of "Chu Zhongtian's dependence", after the club renewed the contract with Chu Zhongtian, Rangnick felt that even if he relies on Chu Zhongtian, it was no big deal, and he could rely on it for several seasons. When any team is brilliant, it is always inseparable from the glory of the core players in the team. Why don't those teams have a certain player dependence? Of course, a team must have a core. Since it is called the "core", it is naturally very important to the team. Since it is very important, it is no big deal to rely on the core.

So Rangnick is not worried about "Chu Zhongtian's dependence". At least, relying on Chu Zhongtian is much more reliable than relying on most other players in the world.

Ranick made the strategist for the team to continue doing this in the second half during the break.

Since the performance in the first half was so good, what reason is there to change the tactics?

※※※The second half started again, and the half-time break made people feel long. Everyone can't wait to see the second half. The battle between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich has always been a concern, although they have only fought four times... "I think Bayern Munich will definitely counterattack in the second half. They are a very tenacious team. This was confirmed in the Champions League and the league last season. In the league, they finally completed the reversal and became the champion. They also staged a final reversal in the Champions League game many times in the Champions League game, at the Frankie Stadium in Fiorentina and in the first leg of Manchester United. So if Hoffenheim thinks they are sure to win, Bayern Munich doesn't mind giving them a heavy blow!"

This is the commentator who supports Bayern Munich.

However, he seemed to have forgotten to help Bayern complete the reversal in two Champions League games and saved the team's hero Robben did not make it to the roster today.

Robben is indeed a great threat to the enemy and is also very helpful to his team. This can be seen clearly from the World Cup. The Dutch team with him or not is like two teams of different grades. Once he comes on the court, the Netherlands' offense finds its direction and is full of threats. He is a left-footed player, but his attack on the right and sudden inward shooting are tried and tested in both the World Cup and the Champions League.

He is on the right and Ribery is on the left, making Bayern Munich's wings world-class, which is also an important reason why Bayern Munich was so successful last season.

Without him, Bayern Munich, who was injured and had no cure, could not pose any threat to Hoffenheim.

Van Gaal made some adjustments to the team's tactics, especially strengthening his defense against Chu Zhongtian. But this did not help. After the start of the second half, Bayern Munich had an excellent performance in the past ten minutes and threatened Hoffenheim's goal, the pace of the game quickly fell into Hoffenheim's hands.

No matter how tight the defense against Chu Zhongtian is, it is impossible to be inseparable from everything. Chu Zhongtian is the kind of player who will catch him tightly as long as you give him a little chance.

This makes Bayern players very painful.

If a player can't defend, then two will come, but neither of them can't defend?

Chu Zhongtian can still find opportunities to pass a good goal when facing Ribery and Schweinsteiger's defense.

In the 59th minute, Hoffenheim intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a fast attack. Chu Zhongtian just received the ball, and two more Bayern players were around him. Ribery was interfering on the side, and Schweinsteiger simply pulled it. Before being pulled down, Chu Zhongtian still fell to the ground and sent a straight pass when he lost his center of gravity. The football passed from Bayern Munich's side and landed at Salihovic's feet.

Then Salihovic completed a high-quality cross. If Craft hadn't been fully focused this time, perhaps Bayern Munich's goal would have been broken again.

Seeing that there was only one midfielder, Schweiingsteiger was a little difficult to deal with Chu Zhongtian, Van Gaal had to make a substitution adjustment. In the 63rd minute, he replaced Altendop with Ukrainian midfielder Dimoshchuk to strengthen the defense in the midfield.

Van Bommel originally thought he would be replaced, but he didn't expect Van Gaal to choose Tymoshchuk. He felt that Schweiingsteig was too polite to him when defending Chu Zhongtian. Could it be because they had a good relationship? This is not possible! If you don't do it, you will definitely not be able to stop him if you don't do it.

This is Van Bomel's experience. He had played against Chu Zhongtian many times before, and he had a deep understanding of this Bundesliga's top midfielder. There was a game that could illustrate the problem and was very representative: in the penultimate round of the 2008-2009 season, Hoffenheim competed for the league championship with Wolfsburg. At the last moment of the game, the score between the two sides was 2:2. Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball from the backcourt alone. Van Bomel went up to use the foul to stop him, but he was restrained in the foul because he was afraid of taking cards. Unexpectedly, he actually made him break through like this! Demikelis also came up to try to foul. Facing the staggering Chu Zhongtian, his chance of success should be very high, but he was still beaten by Chu Zhongtian!

Chu Zhongtian, who passed two people in a row, finally completed a long-range shot in front of Lucio and Van Biten, and tied the score to 3:2. This victory also played a decisive role in Hoffenheim's final victory.

From that game, Van Bomel had a deep understanding of Chu Zhongtian's tenacity, so if you want to make a foul, you must be more ruthless, don't be afraid of eating cards. If you are worried about eating cards, you will not be able to prevent him.

So before Tymoshchuk came on the court, he specifically made his own suggestions to Tymoshchuk: "Be tough when defending Chu! Anatoly."

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said that this would allow Dimoshchuk to pay attention to it.

Tymoshchuk nodded.

He did listen to the captain's advice because he did this after he came on the court.

The first time he had a showdown with Chu Zhongtian, he knocked Chu Zhongtian to the ground with a savage collision that looked like a foul.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands booed a huge boo. Seeing that their heroes were hurt, they all used swear words to intimidate the "murderers" who did this.

"You Ukrainian bitch!"

"He should be sent off with a red card!"

Amid the huge boo, the referee's whistle was almost submerged. The referee ran over and gave a verbal warning to Dimoshchuk. Dimoshchuk nodded to accept it, and then he stared at Chu Zhongtian who was getting up from the ground, without any intention of going forward to shake hands to show his friendship.

Van Bommel saw this scene below and clicked: "Right, you have to do this!"

The teammates and coach next to him couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at him.

After Timoshchuk successfully defended Chu Zhongtian with a foul, he said to Schweiingsteig beside him: "You go and organize the attack, Sebastian. Leave the defense to me!"

At this time, he was full of confidence.

Schweinsteiger hesitated: "I think it's better to compare us to the two of us..."

Tymoshchuk shook his head: "If we were always in this passive situation, we would never win the ball. You must participate more in offense rather than defense." The success of the foul proved that the foul tactics were useful. He felt that this could be used to curb Chu Zhongtian. Liberating Schweiinsteiger was his mission.

Seeing that he was so confident about what he said, Schweinsteiger thought that if Bayern wanted to win, he really needed to attack instead of just defending. He agreed. Before leaving, he said to Tymoshchuk: "Be careful."

Tymoshchuk nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, he's handing it to me!"

※※※Chu Zhongtian has seen many fouls. As a core attack, coping with the enemy's foul tactics is a compulsory course. A player who performs well in unconfrontation is not suitable for professional football at all. If a midfielder cannot gain a foothold in the confrontation of a high-strength team, then take a shower and go to bed as soon as possible.

So he is actually not afraid of Tymoshchuk's foul at all. He has his way of dealing with it.

When Hoffenheim launched another attack, the football passed to his feet as usual.

This time, Tymoshchuk planned to use his old trick again, and he bumped into Chu Zhongtian again. Chu Zhongtian was indeed knocked down by him, but before he was knocked down, Chu Zhongtian still passed the football out!

The football rolled straight to the critical area. Although Chu Zhongtian was lying on the ground and could not continue to move forward, Ibisevic received the ball. He kicked the ball and flew out of the baseline slightly to the outside of the post!

After Chu Zhongtian got up, he shrugged at Dimoshchuk. This was a provocation. Dimoshchuk was not polite to him, and he didn't need to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor.

Next, during a high ball competition, the two of them met again. Chu Zhongtian jumped higher and pressed Timoshchuk under him. His hands did not move, but his right leg curled up and gave Timoshchuk's waist a little below!

Football was pushed toward Bayern Munich's half by Chu Zhongtian, while Timoshchuk fell head-on.

The referee was aware of his whistle and blew his whistle to indicate that Chu Zhongtian was foul. Chu Zhongtian curled his lips and spread his hands, ran back, but he did not go to Radimoshchuk to express his friendship.

Tymoshchuk got up from the ground and covered his waist. Schweinsteig came up and asked him, "Are you okay?"

Tymoshchuk frowned and snorted, "It's okay... it's okay!"

Seeing that Schweiingsteiger saw him like this, it was hard to say anything else. He just said in his heart: I have been asking you to be careful, look... But everyone is a teammate, so it is hard to say this in the game, otherwise there will be internal strife, which will only make others laugh and damage your combat effectiveness.

※※※Timoschuk soon discovered that his foul could not stop Chu Zhongtian at all.

When the football was passed to Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian turned his back to the attack direction, but he had already made the move to catch the ball and turn around. Dimoshchuk knew that he could not let the opponent turn, so he rushed forward, intending to intercept the ball from behind, and then sneak into Chu Zhongtian's ankle from behind, to avenge his black move just now.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian didn't catch the ball at all. He let out his legs and leaked the ball from his block. Dimoshchuk only felt a chill in his crotch and the ball rushed over. And he had no time to brake... directly knocked Chu Zhongtian to the ground!

The referee's whistle sounded again, and Chu Zhongtian and Timoshchuk fouled the opponent in succession, making him realize that it would be useless if it was just a verbal warning. So he showed a yellow card to Timoshchuk who was fouling behind his back!

Seeing that Tymoshchuk received a yellow card, Van Bomel slapped his thigh in annoyance off the court, as if he had received a yellow card.

However, Tymoshchuk did not relieve the defensive pressure on Chu Zhongtian because of this yellow card.

He continued to fight against Chu Zhongtian.

When Zhongtian drove the ball over, he pushed up from the side and squeezed Chu Zhongtian with his body. Now he has learned to be smart and no longer has direct and obvious fouls, but uses various small movements to interfere with Chu Zhongtian, so that he cannot control the ball very comfortably.

But no matter how he squeezed it, Chu Zhongtian didn't fall down this time, unlike before, he almost fell down with just one touch.

Chu Zhongtian could feel the oppressive force coming from his side, and he didn't take it seriously. Such collisions were just commonplace for him, and he had long been used to them.

While resisting the collision of Timoshchuk, he was looking for the opportunity to pass the ball. Bayern Munich's placement now appeared in front of him, and several loopholes appeared, but his teammates had not discovered it yet. He had to wait.

If he moved forward, he would squeeze the opponent's defense line, so his teammates would be even more unlikely to take advantage of those gaps. So Chu Zhongtian suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around and used his left foot to push the ball back. This time, he squeezed Dimoshchuk behind him, not giving him the slightest chance to intercept the ball.

Tymoshchuk tried desperately behind him to intercept the ball. He kept kicking Chu Zhongtian's ankle and calf, but this time Chu Zhongtian didn't fall. He stretched back one hand, holding Tymoshchuk, not letting him get too close to him, and maintaining balance with the other hand, and then protecting the football under his feet.

Hoffenheim's offense seemed to be in a deadlock. Dimoshchuk successfully stopped him, and Hoffenheim could not make a quick attack!

Just when everyone was thinking so, he stepped on the football's right foot and rubbed the football outward, then jumped forward, temporarily breaking away from Tymoshchuk's defense!

Timoshchuk thought he was going to run away with the ball, so he rushed out and shoveled to the ball under his feet!

Chu Zhongtian didn't want to run away from the ball, but turned around and passed the ball!

After rushing out, he caught up with the football, turned around and kicked the ball with his left foot. With the force of turning around, he passed the football forward!

This is a overhead ball. The football crossed the Bayern Munich defenders and fell straight to the blank area on the wing!

With sufficient strength, fast speed, but not high height, and not large arc, such a pass did not give Bayern Munich defensive players too much time to adjust, Kolarov had already hit the ball!

Bayern's defender Demikelis's first reaction when he saw Kolarov receive the ball was to raise his hand to signal the offside. In his opinion, this is indeed the case, because when Kolarov received the ball, he was already behind the entire Bayern defense line. Although the distance from behind them to the bottom line was not long, it was still an offside!

But neither the referee nor the lineman made any statement, the referee's whistle was not sounded, and the lineman did not raise the flag.

Demikelis would not see the moment when Chu Zhongtian passed the ball, Kolarov was still in front of the defense line. He was sprinting at high speed, but he did not cross any Bayern Munich player. After Chu Zhongtian kicked the football out, he just broke through the entire Bayern defense line and appeared in the back. When he arrived at the football landing point, the football also fell down, and the cooperation of one person and one ball was exactly the same!

The Serbian defender who received the ball did not continue to dribble, did not make any adjustments, and even stopped to take the ball back, and he directly crossed! Bayern's defense line showed their split state at this sudden moment - Demikelis raised his arm in despair to signal the ball to offside. Ram flew from behind to stop the cross. Contento was stunned in the spot, not knowing what was going on. Badstuber reached out to pull Ibiszevic's fluttering jersey. Goalkeeper Craft came out to knock down the ground to block the cross that was against the ground... The football first crossed Ram's high right leg, drew a clear external spin on the green turf, and then rubbed goalkeeper Craft's hand.

In the end, Ibisevic was cut off by Badstuber and in the moment before he completely lost his balance... "gooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!! 2:0!"

Amid the thunderous cheers of the whole audience, Dimoshchuk turned around and looked at the goal that had been broken, and then turned around to see Chu Zhongtian who was sitting on the ground because of a difficult move such as turning around and passing the ball with 180 degrees. He knelt beside Chu Zhongtian, and the tackle failed. He failed to stop the unexpected pass, which resulted in the team's second conceding of the ball.

Oh shit!

He grabbed a handful of grass and held them tightly in his palms.

I'm really unwilling to give up!
Chapter completed!
