Chapter 222 This difficult first step
Real Madrid chose offensive football at its home court, which is certain. But Hoffenheim also chose offensive football against teams like Real Madrid away, so it has to be said that he is very brave. Regarding their choice, everyone can see that no matter how Real Madrid attacks, Hoffenheim did not choose to defend the penalty area, but seized every opportunity and bravely attacked Real Madrid.
Regarding their performance, the commentators' attitudes were not consistent.
Although many people praised Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot as a threat, some commentators felt that it was very stupid to choose to play against Real Madrid in this game. In fact, the only team that dares to play against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu may be Barcelona. Other teams who come to the Bernabeu must choose to defend and counterattack. This is the most effective way to attack Real Madrid. Any team that fights against Real Madrid here but has no strength will end up in a miserable end. Real Madrid has slaughtered those teams that are overestimating their abilities more than once.
In their opinion, Hoffenheim also chose to attack Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, and his final outcome is likely to be the same as those teams who are overestimating their abilities - losing the game with a big score.
This is really unwise. In a match like the Champions League, you should be cautious and aim to get points, rather than just being quick. An excellent head coach should know to use different tactics according to different situations, rather than holding a set of tactics to remain unchanged.
Judging from the strength of the two teams, Real Madrid is still higher than Hoffenheim, so Hoffenheim, who is not as strong as that of his strength, should put himself in a right position, lower his posture, and use defensive counterattack to deal with Real Madrid. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
If Rangnick continues to be obsessed with it, there is no suspense to lose this game. The only suspense is that you have to lose at least two, three or four, three or four are not too much, five or six are possible, and there is a rise in killing, and seven or eight are fine. It depends on whether Real Madrid stars wear shooting boots today and whether their luck is good enough.
Other commentators think that Rangnick's choice is worthy of praise because it is a very courageous thing - he can't do it without some courage at the Bernabeu Stadium. The just-concluded World Cup in South Africa makes people drowsy, and conservative and negative football is popular. Last season's Champions League, Mourinho's Inter Milan became a typical representative, eliminating the gorgeous Barcelona with less than 30% possession rate, reaching the final, and winning the Champions League championship with less than 40% possession rate, which seems to have a bad start for coaches around the world, telling them that they must be so negative if they want to win the championship.
In this case, Rangnick and Hoffenheim insisted on their football style and should not be cynical at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid. They should express their dedication to them and encourage and support them to continue doing so. Even if they lose the game in the end, it doesn't matter.
Most neutral fans don't care so much, they just want to see great and beautiful games.
And this game has met their requirements so far.
Both sides are fighting against each other, and they are good at fast football, and their offense and defense are very fast. There is a shot almost every few minutes. How can such a game not be good?
However, it seems that Real Madrid's stars still haven't found the shooting boots. Although there are many shots, they have not scored.
The same is true for Hoffenheim. Under Real Madrid's tide of offensive, they were not afraid. They scored six shots in more than 20 minutes of game, while Real Madrid was nearly twice theirs - ten shots. The two sides combined for sixteen shots, and the current game time is twenty-three minutes. This means that a shot was born almost one and a half minutes into the draw.
Real Madrid just took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to launch a fast attack. Ozil distributed the football to C. Ronaldo, and the Portuguese dribbled the ball and showed his outstanding dribbling speed, but his inward shot was saved by Nyema.
The football jumped and landed on the other side of the penalty area, and Simonic poked the football out before Higuain.
Sana, who retreated to the penalty area, received the football and turned around and passed it to Chu Zhongtian.
Hoffenheim also launched a fast offensive. After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he did not pass the ball to anyone this time, but instead dribbled the ball from the middle alone. The German midfielder Khedira was greeted by him.
He is not unfamiliar with this former Stuttgart player. The game between Hoffenheim and Stuttgart can be regarded as a derby battle in Bawu State. Every time he is full of passion, it is not the first time he and Khdira fight. He knows Khdira, and of course Khdira knows him.
Facing Khedira Chu Zhongtian did not choose to force a breakthrough. Once the opponent was entangled, the fast attack would not be able to be played. So he passed the football out after waiting for Khedira to force him up.
After passing the ball, he continued to run forward, and after Ibisek, who was retreating to receive the pass from Chu Zhongtian, he did not drive the ball and turned around. He directly divided the football to the side.
Quaresma on the wing got the ball, and he used his skills to break through Marcelo. Marcelo is a full-back with strong offense and weak defense. Although he has made great progress this season, he still has loopholes in defense. Quaresma seized this point and made a big fuss, pretending to go to the wing, but suddenly cut in, and then attracted the defense of Marcelo and Carvalho, and he divided the football to the wing.
Van Nistroy came out and received the ball. Van Nistroy was a center, but this does not mean that he would not be able to do anything except grab a shot.
He made a cross!
This time, the person who was supporting in the middle lane was not Salihovic who was waiting at the back point, but Chu Zhongtian who rushed in from the middle lane!
Under Pepe's interference, his header was above the crossbar.
It took only two minutes from the start of Real Madrid's fast break to the end of Hoffenheim's fast break, and two threatening shots appeared.
No wonder fans like this game very much.
"For Chinese fans who stay up late to watch football, such a game is simply a blessing for us!" He Ping said. "When we got up in the middle of the night to watch such a game, both sides are showing their best football. I believe many Chinese fans are tired of them in front of the TV, right?"
Anyway, He Ping himself is quite energetic.
As football commentators, it is common to stay up late to watch football, so people in this industry work and rest are irregular. Therefore, they can only expect to encounter a wonderful game when commenting. They cannot choose the time and place of work. At least they hope to have a good mood when working. If they encounter a game that makes them sleepy in the second half of the night, it will be really tormenting. The fans can go to bed if they have no passion when watching it. The commentator is not good. Even the bad game must be persistent in commenting, although they don’t know what they are talking about... I am really lucky today to encounter such a wonderful game.
※※Real Madrid's rapid attack, their core figure is always C. Ronaldo. With Kaka's injury and absent, the Portuguese is the team's well-deserved number one star on the court. Although Casillas is the winner of the World Cup, the goalkeeper's star taste is always dimmer than the attacking players.
The Portuguese frequently took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then attacked Hoffenheim's defense again and again, and shot.
His shots were the most in the team.
On the other hand, although Hoffenheim's core does not want Ronaldo to be the player with the most shots in the team, his importance is still self-evident.
With Chu Zhongtian here, Hoffenheim's fast football, he is responsible for controlling the rhythm as the team's offense and defense hub. He has mastered the rhythm of the game very well, and did everything right when it should be fast and when it should be slow.
This is actually a competition between two cores.c. Ronaldo tried his best to score a goal and helped the team win by relying on his own efforts. In addition to shooting when necessary, Chu Zhongtian chose to pass the ball most of the time, using passes and running to organize the team's offense and help his teammates complete the goal.
But that never means he won't score.
So far in the new season, the league has played three rounds, and Chu Zhongtian has scored five goals, two of which scored twice. Hoffenheim's most threatening shot in this game, one from Van Nistruei, and the other is his long-range shot. Therefore, if Real Madrid ignores Chu Zhongtian's scoring ability, they may suffer a loss.
Chu Zhongtian is no longer the rookie who had to ask the team forward for a goal first. I believe that those who only remember what Chu Zhongtian performed at the time would be shocked when he saw him now.
※※The game ended at the 30th minute, and before this, the chances appeared from time to time, and it depends on who can seize it.
Hoffenheim players are not as sure as Real Madrid, who is more experienced.
Hoffenheim had a chance to score a goal before, but they did not seize it. Chu Zhongtian tried his best to pass the football over under the entanglement of Khedira and Alonso. The football passed through the space between Pepe and Aberoa and passed into the penalty area. Van Nistruei still stabbed under Carvalho's interference. Casilla did not expect that Van Nistruei could complete the shot under such a difficult situation. His movements were half a beat slower, and the football crawled through him and hit the post!
The ball that popped up happened to fall at Ibisevic's feet. He only needed to push and shoot in the empty goal to score, but at this time he chose to shoot vigorously... As a result, the ball flew directly out of the crossbar!
"Ah!" He Ping was very regretful. "It's a pity to waste such an opportunity... it's a pity! Hoffenheim must be careful. Wasting opportunities like this will bring retribution!"
Before he finished speaking, Real Madrid organized a beautiful fast break. Xavi Alonso, the midfield brain of Real Madrid, suddenly made a long pass in the backcourt!
Hoffenheim's defenders had a brief inattention, and did not expect Real Madrid's offense to hit them so easily.
c. Ronaldo jumped high at the front and competed for the header with Comper. c. Ronaldo may be the most comprehensive player in the world football world today. He can have both left and right feet, he is tall and strong, has outstanding jumping, and has super heading ability. He can shoot outside the penalty area and in the penalty area, and heading is good. In addition, he also has amazing speed and fancy and skillful skills... Some players can become first-class if they are just good at one or two aspects, while Ronaldo has them all. It makes sense that such a player can become the best in the world.
Facing Comper, C. Ronaldo jumped high in the sprint and relied on his own bounce to eat Hoffenheim's central defender. He beat Comper to ferry the football to the middle.
After Higuain, who followed up, immediately assigned the football to Di Maria on the wing. Then Di Maria used his outstanding little skills to shake the Serbian defender away when facing Kolarov, and then broke into the penalty area!
"Dimaria! Beautiful breakthrough!"
Seeing him breaking into the penalty area, Simonic rushed to defend, and goalkeeper Nyema also chose to block the near corner in case he suddenly shot.
At the same time, Sana and Chu Zhongtian ran back to the penalty area to return to defense.
Di Maria did not choose to shoot, but made a cross! The football rushed over from Simunic and Nyema. This position was very awkward, and Simunic did not dare to clear the ball because he could have an own goal with just one shot. Nyema did not react and watched the football roll past him. He thought Di Maria would either shoot vigorously, and if she wanted to cross, it would pass to the penalty spot, where there was Higuain, Real Madrid's official striker.
Unexpectedly, Di Maria was very skilled and brave, so she passed the football directly between him and Simonic!
Didn't anyone expect this pass?
No, c. Ronaldo has already been killed, and under the interference of Sana, he still resisted the opponent. At this time, his strong body played a crucial role. If it were a player like Ozil, he would have been knocked out of the bottom line by the "killing machine".
Sana desperately tried to squeeze Ronaldo away from behind, while the Portuguese used his body to squeeze him behind. When the football came, both of them stretched out their feet, Ronaldo wanted to shoot, while Sana wanted to clear the ball.
Finally, Sana kicked C. Ronaldo in the calf, and C. Ronaldo kicked the ball into the empty goal.
"The ball is in!!!"
The Bernabeu Stadium was boiling, and 80,000 fans burst into loud cheers. This sound was enough to pause the Hoffenheim players and fans present.
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! He finally scored!! After shooting seven goals, he finally scored! The goals since the beginning of the new season have been broken!"
After scoring the goal, C. Ronaldo was very excited. He opened his arms and ran to the corner flag area, then turned around and looked to the stands. He was announcing to the entire Bernabeu in this way that the new seven of Real Madrid is me!
The players who set the background for the ecstatic Portuguese were Hoffenheim's disappointed players.
They fought against Real Madrid for 31 minutes, and they were full of courage with attack, but they were still scored by the opponent.
This gives the commentators who are not optimistic about Hoffenheim playing against Real Madrid: "This concealment shows that playing against Real Madrid is not good! Hoffenheim's defense in the penalty area is too easy!"
"c. Ronaldo scored too easily! Only Sana was by his side, and there was no Hoffenheim player again! Faced with such an empty goal opportunity, Ronaldo could not score the goal! Otherwise, he would not be called Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"Real Madrid finally scored a goal! But this is just the first one, this is not the end! Hoffenheim foolishly chose to attack Real Madrid in this game. This is the result they are facing - they were completely beaten by Real Madrid's sharp attack!"
Real Madrid fans waved their arms in the stands, and their feelings were the same as those commentators. Any team that dared to attack against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium will not die! They could have a premonition that this would be born in this game, many goals, maybe five, maybe six, maybe eight, of course, the goalkeepers were Real Madrid. Hoffenheim, a small team that lacked experience and overestimated their abilities, will be completely destroyed by Real Madrid's powerful artillery fire and torn to pieces.
Real Madrid Chairman Florentino showed a gratifying smile on the rostrum. Thunder and raining thirty minutes ago, he was really afraid of repeating the scene from last weekend's league home against Osasuna and being booed by his fans. This is not a wonderful experience.
Now, I scored a goal and took the lead, and the stone in my heart has fallen to the ground.
※※※At Hoffenheim, many people were disappointed with the concealment of the goal. After so long, I didn’t expect that it was not them who scored the goal first, but Real Madrid. The game will be even more difficult for them to play away.
Just when everyone was a little depressed, Chu Zhongtian's voice sounded: "Now, we have no other way except to attack."
Everyone looked up at their captain.
"I don't think it's a big deal. We all have to attack anyway." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands and said. "The game has not changed for us."
He ran into the goal, picked up the football, and turned around and ran towards the middle circle.
He knew that some people would worry that if they would conquer the ball in this way, they would lose the game with a big score. But Chu Zhongtian would not agree with their opinion. If the goal might be lost, it would be impossible to lose the game with a big score! This is the first game of the Champions League. It was so easily defeated by the opponent. What else can we talk about going further? But if this first step is too easy, how can we continue to move forward when we encounter difficulties in the future?
Just right, now the first step is just right. The opponent is very strong and the game is very difficult. It is like a touchstone. If you can't even take this first step well, you don't have to go the next path. But if we can successfully take it, no matter how big the difficulties we encounter, we won't take them seriously.
We came out of the strongest death group in history!
What else can stop us in this world?!
He smashed the ball hard on the kickoff point in the middle circle.
Chapter completed!
