Chapter 224 Counterattack
"Chu Quaresma Quaresma...Ricardo Quaresma!Chu Chu...Chu!Chu - goooooooooooooooooool!!!"
The camera on the TV screen trembled, as if the commentator's roar vibrated the stadium. In fact, it was not, Chu Zhongtian's goal that vibrated the stands.
"This is Chu. He received the ball. He wants to pass the ball... No, take the ball, break through! Go in! He goes in! Pepe did not stop him, and now there is no defensive player around him!" The Spanish commentator spoke fast like a machine gun, constantly spitting out star and commentary. "He shot! Shot... The ball entered! The ball flew into the goal of Real Madrid! Casillas did not block this shot!"
The long-awaited scene finally appeared, and Hoffenheim fans jumped from their seats and raised their arms to cheer.
"Hoffenheim equalized the score! With the continuous match against Real Madrid, they finally scored a goal! Many people thought that it did not appear at that moment, and the second goal came, but it was not Hoffenheim's goal! The goal was Real Madrid's goal! In the 53rd minute, Hoffenheim equalized the score! The massacre did not appear, and the tenacious Hoffenheim showed the tenacity of German football to the whole Europe!" The German commentator was particularly excited.
Chu Zhongtian watched the football flew into the goal from Casillas's hand and hit the net. He felt anger coming out in his heart, so he opened his mouth and shouted, then he turned around and ran towards the stands.
Hoffenheim fans were arranged on the top floor, and only one blue article could be seen from the stadium. The closer ones in the stands were all Real Madrid fans.
In front of these Real Madrid fans, Chu Zhongtian showed them his strength. He jumped onto the billboard and shouted.
Then he was dragged down by his excited teammates and pressed him under him.
Rangnick also raised his arms and rushed out of the coach's seat, hugging his assistants tightly.
It was a wonderful thing for them to be able to score a goal at the Bernabeu. What made him even happier was not the goal itself, but the goal that allowed the team to equalize the score and boost the team's morale. There was still a fight in this game.
Casillas was very angry at the concealment and stood up from the ground and kicked the football in the net.
But the person who was more angry than him was Mourinho. Seeing the team conceding the goal, he couldn't help but rush to the seat, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and smashed it hard on the ground. The splashes wet his trousers and clothes, and he didn't care at all.
He spent a lot of time and energy to transform the team's defense line all season ago, and he told the players more than once about the importance of defense. In the first two rounds of the league, although the team's offense was not satisfactory, he was very satisfied. Only when the team's defense was stable could he consider how to improve the offense.
Unexpectedly, in the third game, the defense line he carefully built was poked by his opponent, and the goal was Chu Zhongtian from last season!
He and this kid are really enemies. When he was at Chelsea, he wanted to stay or not, so he went to Inter Milan. His team scored three goals in two rounds and was almost overturned in the quarterfinals. If they were eliminated, the three-time champions behind him would be all over the clouds.
Now he has changed his boss and came to Real Madrid from Inter Milan. But he didn't expect that Chu Zhongtian would be like a shadow, and they met again!
And another goal!
Oh shit!
※※※ Chu Zhongtian was pulled from the ground by Ibisevic, and he laughed and patted his messy hair: "How do you feel? Chu? How do you feel when you scored at the Bernabeu?"
"It feels great!" Chu Zhongtian answered him loudly. The Bernabeu was not as huge as he imagined. Real Madrid fans were extremely harsh on their players, but unexpectedly tolerant of the enemy... He saw his teammate Quaresma running back in front. The assist of his ball was her. So he ran a few steps and hugged Quaresma's neck from behind.
Quaresma was a little surprised. When she turned her head and saw that it was Chu Zhongtian, she was not so surprised.
"Good job, Ricardo." Chu Zhongtian said to Quaresma in Portuguese, and he also gave a thumbs up.
Quaresma shrugged: "I thought you would pass the ball to me."
Chu Zhongtian smiled: "I planned so at the beginning. But I changed my mind the moment I passed the ball. They were too strict with your defense, everyone was paying attention to you, I decided to break through by myself, and luckily I succeeded."
After saying that, he patted Quaresma hard on the shoulder. "Thank you for attracting their attention for me."
※※This goal aroused Real Madrid's desire to attack again. After re-telection, they launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's goal.
Being equalized at home is indeed a matter of shame. In these five minutes, Real Madrid's offensive covered everything, and Hoffenheim had to avoid the edge for the time being.
However, they finally resisted the bombardment of Ronaldo and others.
In the 65th minute of the game, the commentator reported the technical statistics.
In terms of shots, Real Madrid has the advantage with twenty-three shots. Hoffenheim's shots are thirteen, which is not a small number.
In terms of the range of shots in the front goal frame, Real Madrid and Hoffenheim were 7:5. The two sides had four fouls each. In terms of ball possession rate, the two teams were comparable. Real Madrid had a slight advantage, 51%, while Hoffenheim was 49%.
After reporting the statistics, the commentator sighed: "Maybe the draw is a fair and reasonable result..."
But no player on both sides thinks so.
Real Madrid attacked for five minutes without scoring, and found that Hoffenheim's quick counterattack was quite threatening.
Once, after Nyema saved Higuain's shot, he threw the ball and launched a fast attack. Quaresma on the side did not dribble the ball himself, but passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian, who was receiving the ball in the middle. Chu Zhongtian transferred the long pass, and the ball fell to Ibisekic's feet. He turned around to dribble the ball. When facing Carvalho's defense, he flew the ball to the left. Salihovic inserted and received the ball.
Hoffenheim's attack instantly hit Real Madrid within 30 meters. This speed was completely comparable to Real Madrid, which surprised everyone.
Of course, Salihovic's cross was a little bit short and flew out of the baseline directly, without a chance to threaten Casillas. But their fast attack still won applause and cheer from the Hoffenheim fans present.
In the following time, the two sides fought against each other, and the attack was exciting and lively.
On this side, Di Maria changed direction and made a wonderful pass, and Higuain's goal wall grabbed the goal and ran out. On the other side, Quaresma from Hoffenheim showed his ecstatic shot from outside. The football bypassed goalkeeper Casillas' hands, bypassed the far post, and finally flew out of the baseline. Although there was no goal, Quaresma's use of his skill was still very excited, and the commentator couldn't help but praise Quaresma. In fact, Quaresma's performance in this game was still good, and Chu Zhongtian's equalizer goal was his assist.
On this side, Ronaldo used his fancy footwork again, stepped on a bicycle continuously, then hit the ball with his heel and stopped quickly, successfully shook Baker, and then he cut inside and shot a long shot, and the football was beautifully saved by Enyema. Not long after, Chu Zhongtian also performed a good show for two people in the middle. He first pushed the football to his feet, dodged Alonso's steal, and then gently sent the football forward, dodged Khedira's shovel, and then passed the football straight out.
Even the goalkeeper was not willing to be lonely. Nyema saved Ronaldo's sudden arrow and then Casillas became the focus of attention. Quaresma's cross made Van Nistroy stand up. Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Casillas flew up and racked the football out.
The hearts of the fans were like riding a roller coaster, sometimes hanging to their throats and sometimes falling down suddenly.
The commentators who had previously asserted that they would be the only one who would be slaughtered when they played against Real Madrid were silent and stopped talking about the massacre. Because the game was nearly 70 minutes, if Real Madrid wanted to massacre Hoffenheim with a big score within 20 minutes, they would have to score at least four more goals, with an average of five minutes per goal, which is really too difficult for them. Even if Barcelona came, they would not be able to do it.
In the 71st minute, Di Maria dribbled the ball from the sideline and suddenly cut inside, and was knocked to the ground by Kolarov. The referee decisively blew the whistle, not only gave Real Madrid a free kick, but also gave Kalarov a yellow card.
The free kick was taken by Ronaldo. Everyone thought he would shoot directly, but in fact he didn't, just hang the football into the penalty area.
Hoffenheim players did not expect him to do this. The central defender collectively stopped responding, the football flew over their heads, and they did not even make a clearance move. In the end, the football was pushed into the goal by Higuain, who was receiving at the back point!
2:1!
"Real Madrid leads again! 2:1! Higuain--!!"
"Ronaldo was not selfish at this time, but gave the opportunity to his teammates. His pass assisted Higuain to score! The rumors about the increasingly conflict between the two people are now self-defeating!"
The Bernabeu Stadium once again gave a huge cheer.
Amid the deafening cheers, Chu Zhongtian shouted to his teammates in the penalty area: "The game is not over yet! It is not over yet! We have to continue to strive for goals!!"
He had to improve his business and improve his business, because the scene was too noisy. Since the score was equalized, Real Madrid fans, who have been silent, are venting their inner emotions at this time, and their voices suppressed everything. Chu Zhongtian didn't even know whether his voice could be heard by his teammates, but he had to do so.
He ran over and pulled Comper, then pushed Salihovic, waving his clenched fists at them, boosting morale as a captain.
"We continue to attack against them, we have the ability to score goals!!"
※※※Florentino, who was sitting on the rostrum, kept his face dark after Chu Zhongtian scored. But now his smile reappeared, he could breathe a sigh of relief. If his team let Hoffenheim tie at home, it would really make his face dull.
Sitting next to him was Hoffenheim Club's chairman Hoffman, with a expressionless face. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.
※※The competition started over amid cheers.
Chu Zhongtian controlled the football to launch an attack. After a series of passes, he finally approached the opponent's 30-meter area. He made a fake move to shoot from a long time, but flew the football to the side. Salihovic received the ball and made a cross, and the football was pushed out by Pepe. Chu Zhongtian grabbed the landing point outside and stopped the football with his chest. He immediately raised his foot and shot from a long time!
The sudden long shot hit the door frame, forcing Casillas to make a wonderful save.
Chu Zhongtian used this to remind his teammates to remind him that the game had to continue.
In fact, Hoffenheim players also knew very well. They just stood up for a while after conceding the ball, and then recovered.
The game once again became a situation where two teams attacked each other.
"In fact, it is not a shame to lose 1:2 to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. But judging by Hoffenheim's offensive posture, they obviously want to score a goal!" The commentators were also amazed.
※※※In the 77th minute, Rangnick made his first substitution in this game. He replaced Baker with Shrner. Shrner is a full-back with outstanding offensive ability. This substitution is obviously to strengthen the offense. Sure enough, after Shrner came on the court, he shouted to his teammates: "Occurrence! We need an offense!"
The game is coming to an end, and it's over ten minutes left. It's time, but Hoffenheim still has to attack. This is Hoffenheim's football, either winning the offense or losing the game.
It is unlikely to see them keep everyone in the penalty area and hold a score of 1:0.
Serner came on the court and let everyone know that Hoffenheim still wanted to attack, and they were unwilling to lose the game just like that.
Mourinho also responded quickly. In the 79th minute, he replaced Di Maria with No. 21 Pedro Leon, who had been running for nearly 80 minutes. The tactical signal Leon brought on the court was also very clear - offense.
Hoffenheim wanted to attack, so Mourinho took it and he chose to fight.
※※※Just after Real Madrid substitution, Hoffenheim took advantage of Leon's chances that he was not adapted to the rhythm of the game and organized the offense continuously.
In the 81st minute, Chu Zhongtian stole Leon's ball in the midfield and sent a straight pass. Van Nistrui interspersed beautifully and received the ball in the gap, then took a kick and the football shot out.
In the 83rd minute, it was Leon again. This time he dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Sana. Sana handed the football to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian pretended to shoot from a long time, but gave Quaresma to a side. After Quaresman cut inside, he raised his right foot and rubbed the shot again, and the football was saved by Casillas.
Mourinho was very dissatisfied with Leon's performance of dribbling too much. He waved his arms on the sidelines and yelled angrily.
He had previously specifically told Leon that after playing, he would reduce his personal dribbling and pass more, and he would catch the team's speed quickly. He would not have thought that he would take what he said in front of his ears. What kind of head coach is Mourinho? What he values most is authority. What players must abide by what he said. How can such things that violate his authority be lightly spared? Mourinho looked at Leon's performance on the court, and he had already brewed punishment for this disobedient player in his heart.
After resisting Hoffenheim's several consecutive attacks, it was Real Madrid's turn to counterattack.
He also got a chance to attack continuously, Ozil's last shot was saved by Nyema, and Real Madrid won a corner kick.
The commentators no longer said anything about the fight against Real Madrid and waiting to be massacred by Real Madrid. Even if Hoffenheim lost this game, their performance won the respect of everyone.
However, Chu Zhongtian must not know that he came to play the game to win respect. The most important thing is victory. If he wants to win, he has to score goals. If he scores one goal, he has to score at least two goals. In the 86th minute, his idea was a "luxury hope".
But he did not give up on his efforts.
He ran into the penalty area to defend the corner kick, and kept shouting at his teammates: "This is our opportunity to counterattack! Everyone, pay attention!! Counterattack! If you get the ball, move forward quickly!"
Real Madrid players couldn't understand what he was calling, thinking he was just reminding his teammates to pay attention to defense.
After shouting, Chu Zhongtian stood in front of C. Ronaldo. The 1.88-meter-tall Portuguese, with excellent header, excellent jumping, outstanding height, is also a dangerous person who needs special attention in set pieces.
This is also his first time in this game with C. Ronaldo head-on - if the football ends up passing.
At this time, Hoffenheim's goal was in a mess. Anyone with good heading ability in Real Madrid rushed up. They were obviously not satisfied with defeating a small team 2:1 at home.
Hoffenheim players basically returned to defense. If they still want to score goals and fantasize about being able to defeat their opponents, then defense at this time is obviously more important.
The players on both sides were entangled. There were even some minor frictions because of the competition for positions - c. Ronaldo wanted to fight for a good position, but Chu Zhongtian grabbed his jersey and refused to let him do so. So, Ronaldo shook his arm and knocked Chu Zhongtian's hand off. Seeing that his captain was being treated rudely, Kolarov next to him rushed up to accuse Ronaldo.
The dispute between several people attracted the attention of the referee. He blew his whistle and paused the game, ran to the center of the penalty area, called the players of both sides who had conflicted together to calm their emotions, and also warned them not to make too big moves, otherwise he would not show mercy.
Chu Zhongtian nodded and stretched out his hand to C. Ronaldo first.
Although Ronaldo was a little unhappy, he still reached out to hold Chu Zhongtian.
After this small episode, the game continued to be full. Alonso drove the corner kick out. He did drive for Ronaldo, but Ronaldo did not jump up because he was entangled by Chu Zhongtian. Although the referee warned them, Chu Zhongtian didn't take it seriously at all. When Ronaldo was about to take off, he pulled his jersey hard below. Ronaldo paused and lost the motivation to jump up. He could only look up from below and watch the football fly over his head, and then let the goalkeeper Enyema get it directly.
c. Ronaldo shouted loudly and complained to the referee that Chu Zhongtian had a small move below just now. However, the referee turned his back to him and did not notice. On the other hand, Chu Zhongtian turned around and ran out when he saw Enyema get the ball, completely ignored c. Ronaldo's protest and anger.
Enyema looked at the football in his arms, and then saw Chu Zhongtian rushing out. He looked in the direction of Chu Zhongtian and found that there was Quaresma on the right!
Basically all Hoffenheim players have just returned to the penalty area to defend, and before they can run forward, only Quaresma and Chu Zhongtian react the fastest!
Chu Zhongtian's words before the corner kick rang in Nyema's ears.
Isn’t this our chance to fight back?!
Chapter completed!
