Chu Zhongtian was all the limelight in the game against Tottenham, Van der Fate, Modelic and even Gareth Bale, who was all the limelight in the group stage, became his foil.

His goal was repeatedly broadcast on TV.

Chinese fans are very proud because Chu Zhongtian is their compatriot. Hoffenheim fans also feel good.

In a tavern in Wimbledon, London, England, cheers were also heard. Chu Zhongtian walked out of here and went to the world, and he was always the pride here.

“good_job, Chu!”

"Beautiful job! This ball is so wonderful!"

"Wow! Get rid of Tottenham!"

… "Now it seems that Chu is getting more and more like a superstar." Old Bente brought the wine glass to Boss John. "This big scene will not even make him suffer!"

Boss John laughed: "He is such a person. The bigger the scene, the more excited he is."

"We are going to see him when he returns to London for a match this time, right?" Lao Ben asked.

Boss John nodded: "That's natural. Not only this time, if Hoffenheim can reach the final, we will also go to Wembley!"

Old Bente widened his eyes: "Final?"

"Final!" Boss John replied firmly.

"Okay, although I think Chu is very good, football is not a one-person sport. No matter how powerful he is... Hoffenheim is not the kind of team that can make it to the finals..."

"Everything is possible," said John owner. "When Hoffenheim won the Bundesliga championship, no one expected that they could win the league championship as a new team. Anyway, I think Chu is a player who can create miracles. Which team has him, which team can create miracles. Think about our crazy gang, before challenging Chelsea, even the players themselves did not believe that they could defeat Chelsea. Many people even thought that we were visiting Stamford Bridge. But what happened? Chu had the belief of winning at the beginning. He scored two goals in the game, and we won, and he became famous."

Boss John continued to wipe the wine glass that he would never finish.

Old Bente turned his attention to the TV set above, and the live TV broadcast gave Chu Zhongtian a big close-up.

※※※After the game continued, Chu Zhongtian was subjected to a more severe defense. In addition to these, there were many small moves. Sometimes, Chu Zhongtian might be slapped on the back of the head while running.

If someone else had changed, he would have been lying on the ground with his head covered and tossed and turned around and turned. If the referee did not stop the game, or the opponent would not kick the football out of the sideline, he would not have gotten up. Of course, if the possession of the ball fell to the feet of his team, the audience would have the honor to see the injured player who was still lying on the ground and rolling in pain or dying in pain jumped up from the ground, raised his hands and ran forward.

As long as your foul cannot knock Chu Zhongtian down, Chu Zhongtian will run forward even if he staggers. Therefore, he didn't care about his opponent's small movements at all.

There is no good way to defend Chu Zhongtian, so Tottenham Hotspur has turned its attention to the attack. Their team cannot just defend, not attack. Since they want to pursue away goals, they have to attack.

In fact, Tottenham is not good at defense. Like Hoffenheim, they are both teams that are good at attack. Tottenham's football has been famous for its gorgeousness and pursuit of offense since a long time ago, and has won the love of many fans in London. Redknapp has reshaped this tradition of Tottenham, and such offensive football allows them to reach the Champions League this season.

Anyway, he didn't plan to win this game. Since he was already behind, he would just let go and pursue away goals.

So he stood on the sidelines and shouted to his players in the wind and snow, "Observe! Fight for goals!"

※※※Van der Fate and Modelish are the core of Tottenham's frontcourt, and both of them can pass and shoot, but they are not the ones responsible for controlling the rhythm, but a young Tottenham player - Tom Hoddlestone.

Redknapp once praised the 24-year-old Holderstone as the "quarterback" of Tottenham. The quarterback is a position in American football and a member of the offensive team, ranking behind the center and in the center of the offensive line. The quarterback is usually the leader of the offensive team, the team's offensive brain, the center of the entire attack system, and all offensive tactics are transmitted to the field through him. At the same time, they are also the initiators of passing offspring, and accurate long passes will instantly change the game.

Judging from this description, it is very similar to those midfielders on the football field who are responsible for controlling the rhythm and organizing the offense?

In fact, when Chu Zhongtian was at Hoffenheim, Rangnick suggested that he go and see more American football and learn how quarterbacks organize offenses.

Chu Zhongtian did as he did. He is now in the midfield organization. On the one hand, the reason for his talent is that he has been learning the characteristics of other sports so hard, and on the other hand, he is compatible with and accepting them. American football, fencing, and yoga have had a great impact on him. Although he is very busy now, he will still drive to Taubbischowsheim to practice fencing with Bale whenever he has time, and he has not abandoned yoga. Rugby and basketball are all sports events he likes to watch.

The tactics of rugby are complicated, and many of them can inspire him. In fact, many of them are learned from rugby tactics.

Redknapp praised Hoddlestone as a "quarterback" and apparently believed that quarterbacks in American football had something in common with midfield commanders in football.

From this nickname, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of player Hoddlestone is. He plays as a midfielder, and often organizes attacks through long passes, sends the football to the frontcourt, and gives it to his teammates who are closer to the opponent's penalty area. Therefore, his long passes are very accurate and sometimes have the ability to hit the nail on the head.

Glen Hoddle is the king of White Hart Lane Stadium, where no one dares to compare a player with him. But Harry Redknapp broke the ring and compared Hoddle with Hoddle, believing that his feet could deliver fantastic passes. His passes already had the shadow of Hoddle. He is the best passer in White Hart Lane, leading several streets ahead of others.

In this game, when Tottenham needed an attack, Hoddlestone used his pass to send the football to the feet of his frontcourt teammates, posing a threat to Hoffenheim.

In the 25th minute, he used a precise long pass to send the ball to Van der Fate's feet. The Dutch adjusted after receiving the ball and got a chance to shoot. Fortunately, Nyema was focused and held the shot firmly.

Although there was no goal, Hodlestone's wonderful performance still received cheers from the English commentator.

"When Carrick wasted his time at Manchester United, look at his successor Tom Hoddlestone in White Hart Lane! That's why Tottenham dared to let Carrick go!"

Hoddlestone himself was also very satisfied with the pass, which made him full of confidence. Before the game, Redknapp mentioned Chu Zhongtian many times and analyzed him. Of course, Hoddlestone knew what kind of player Chu Zhongtian was. His long pass was very accurate and sharp. Hoddlestone was still a little confident in passing. He had long wanted to compete with Chu Zhongtianyi in the game.

Before, Chu Zhongtian scored a goal, Hoddlestone was holding back his energy and must show off his own things.

However, he didn't have time to be happy for long. The English commentator quickly changed to praise Chu Zhongtian. Because Chu Zhongtian also showed his ability to pass the ball at a long time.

Unlike Hoddlestone who passed the ball without anyone's defense, Chu Zhongtian was interfered with Modlish before passing the ball. He passed the ball long without even maintaining his balance. And unlike Hoddlestone, when Hoddlestone passed, Van der Fate ran forward in a straight line, and the passing point was easier to judge. When Chu Zhongtian passed, Quaresma, who was receiving the ball cut in the diagonal line, and the ball directly penetrated Tottenham's defense line!

Although Hodelstone stood there well after passing the ball, looking very cool, and after Chu Zhongtian passed the ball, he sat in the snow, which was very embarrassed. But the effects of the two were completely different. Hodelstone's long pass only allowed Van der Fate to catch the ball. Chu Zhongtian's long pass not only allowed Quaresma to catch the ball, but also felt very comfortable. While receiving the ball, he could also pass all the Tottenham's defenders... "Quaresma! Ricardo Quaresma! Oh! Oh...oh! It's a pity! Sliding!"

Facing the big gift from Chu Zhongtian, Quaresma did not catch it. Because the field was too slippery, he wanted to drive the ball to pass goalkeeper Gomez, but his feet slipped and fell directly to the ground. The football also allowed Gomez, who was attacking, to get it easily.

Quaresma, who was sitting on the ground, grabbed a piece of snow in discomfort and smashed it out.

He had the opportunity to expand the lead to 2:0, and if that were the case, the game would be lost.

Quaresma got up from the ground with some annoyance, slapped the snow on her butt, then gave her a thumbs up, thanking Chu Zhongtian for his long pass.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian noticed Hoddlestone, who is the long pass organizer of Tottenham, and many attacks depend on him to deliver forward. But he did not mean to stay behind. In the past, he was just a ball handler passer, but now Redknapp is asking for more, and he hopes Hoddlestone will press more forward and press his opponent.

This is because as an offensive organizer, he is closer to the penalty area and is even more threatening. This is the same as Rangnick pushing Chu Zhongtian from the back midfield to the central forward. Although the back midfield is relatively safe, his offensive means are single and he can only rely on long passes to participate in the attack. Once the player goes forward, he is no longer a simple midfielder. He has a stronger attack type and more changing offensive methods, making the opponent unable to defend. Redknapp obviously hopes that Hodlestone can make the opponent unable to defend.

In addition, Chu Zhongtian's long pass also stimulated Hodelstone. Unwilling to admit defeat easily, he began to follow the head coach's wishes and press forward.

But this is exactly what Chu Zhongtian wants. If Hoddlestone just uses a long pass in the back to launch an attack, he still has no way to deal with this kid. But as long as he comes up, Chu Zhongtian will have many ways to deal with him. Although he needs to take into account Modelic in defense, taking the time to harass Hoddlestone is not a difficult task for Chu Zhongtian.

Hodlestone immediately saw Chu Zhongtian's defense ability.

When he got the ball, he hesitated for a moment and did not pass the ball immediately. This hesitation made Chu Zhongtian rush to him. It was too late to pass the ball. In a hurry, the football passed directly to Chu Zhongtian's feet.

Hodlestone is still young and has less experience than Chu Zhongtian. After being forced into such a snatch, he was confused.

After breaking the ball, Hoffenheim launched a counterattack directly, and Tottenham hurriedly retreated.

Although this attack did not pose a threat in the end, from a defensive perspective, Chu Zhongtian's steal failed to make Tottenham's offense, which was a successful defense.

After Hodlestone was cut off by Chu Zhongtian once, he was a little scared. He shrank back and did not push forward. But in this case, he could only use long passes to organize the attack. With only one means, Hoffenheim was easy to defend.

Due to the successful defense of Lorik Sana and Chu Zhongtian against Van der Fate, Modelic and Hoddlestone in the middle, Tottenham shifted the focus of the offense to the wing. Lennon and Bale are both players with super speed and excellent dribbling. However, today's weather is not good. On such a slippery field, they cannot perform even if they have excellent skills and speed. The football's movement on the snow is very irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes they run to the front of the football as soon as they exert force. As a result, they still have to come back and readjust. In addition, the field is slippery, and if they are not careful, they will lose their center of gravity and fall to the ground. They cannot drive the ball like Meacha.

The middle was curbed by Chu Zhongtian and Sana, while the side was affected by the field and could not play all their strength. Tottenham's offense was in trouble for a while. They seemed to be unable to find a better way to score the goal.

When Hoddlestone retreated, it seemed to have stabilized the defense, but in fact it made the team lack the level of attack. Most of the time it was a "one-time deal" - this time the attack was done, if it didn't work, it would be overturned. There would definitely be no attack once, and there would be two or three attacks.

Of course Redknapp knew what the problem was, which was why he wanted Hodlestone to frequently press forward - this would be the level and threat of Tottenham's offense.

Hoddlestone seemed to be frightened by Chu Zhongtian.

Redknapp kept shouting Hoddlestone's name off the court: "Tom! Tom!"

When Hodlestone looked at him, he waved his hand forward: "Press up! Press up! Press up when attacking!"

Hodlestone hesitated a little and did not execute immediately. He made an excuse for himself in his heart: I am trying to better observe the other party's movements and cannot easily press it. Once I decide to press it, it is to find their loopholes and must be fatal!

Actually? He did see the loophole, but when he passed the football long, the opponent had already seen through his intention and made up for the loophole. Unless a long pass was a big loophole, the football was flying enough for the opponent to react, and the chance of a fatal blow was not high. However, the passing of the ball at a medium and short distance near the penalty area could have an unexpected effect.

However, Hoddleston could only rely on Van der Fate and Modelic, but these two people, one is Lorik Sana, and the other belongs to Chu Zhongtian, and these two back midfielders were not easy to deal with. Van der Fate was previously brutal collision from Sana. Although the ground was covered with snow and it didn't hurt much when it fell, it made him know that Lorik Sana was not a fuel-saving lamp.

Modlic was even more uncomfortable when facing Chu Zhongtian. This person seemed to be able to guess his own heart. He could understand what he wanted to do.

At this time, both Van der Fate and Modelish hoped that Hoddlestone could come up and help them. The current midfielders are Chu Zhongtian and Sana against Modled and Van der Fate, and the situation is balanced. As long as Hoddlestone can come up, it can break this equilibrium, thus forming a breakthrough and obtaining some unexpected opportunities.

During the game, Van der Fate and Modelic kept pushing Hodelstone.

Without the urging of his teammates and head coach, Hodlestone pressed forward again.

Just as he was worried, when he came up, Chu Zhongtian decisively gave up Modlic and rushed towards him.

He didn't care about controlling the ball anymore, so he quickly poked the ball to Modlic.

This is a successful pass, but don't think that after Chu Zhongtian pressed up, Modlic would be unguarded.

As soon as Modelic caught the ball, he felt a pressure coming from behind. He was targeted by Hoffenheim's central defender Comper. He could not turn around and had no choice but to pass the ball back to Hodlestone. As soon as Hodlestone got the ball, Chu Zhongtian stood in front of him again, and his look of being ready to step forward to intercept the ball at any time made him quite afraid.

Seeing that there was no chance, he chose the safest but most useless approach, which was to pass back. After the return, he ran back to pick up his guard teammates. But when the football was passed to his feet, he directly passed the football to the side.

After Gareth Bale stopped the football, he was forced to the sideline by Serner. While the two were fighting, the football was kicked by Serner, jumped up and hit Bale's calf on the skeleton, and flew out of the baseline directly. Although the two raised their hands and pointed at each other at the same time, the referee still took a gaze and awarded the out-of-bounds ball to Hoffenheim.

Tottenham's offense ended in vain.

Although Tottenham wanted to counterattack during this period, they played very chaotic. Everyone fought for their own goals. The team's core could not play its due role, and the three lines were disconnected.

Redknapp on the sidelines shook his head.

What other things to talk about away goals like this?
