Chapter 320 Hoffenheim has not lost yet!(1/2)

"Incredible! Incredible! This is really unexpected!!" The TV commentators were all crazy, and they shouted wildly at the microphone.

"What have we seen? A miracle is about to be born! The weak Hoffenheim tied the powerful Barcelona at the last moment of the game!!"

"Chu Zhongtian! Chu Zhongtian! Chu-Zhong-Tian!! He completed the almost impossible task! He did it! He pulled the team back on the edge of the cliff!"

"Oh-no! No! Hoffenheim actually scored...this goal...this goal..."

"In the 2005 Champions League final, Liverpool finally completed the reversal when he was three goals behind AC Milan. I think this game can be compared with that final!"

"A thrilling goal! Hoffenheim equalized the score at the last moment! They saved themselves!"

"I need to remind everyone that this is what Hoffenheim did without one person!"

※※When Chu Zhongtian threw the football into Barcelona goal, the Hoffenheim fans in the stands jumped up and shouted with all their heart.

They really saw a miracle!

"Look! Chu!" Wimbledon Athletics fans pointed at Chu Zhongtian and shouted: "The ball... the ball went in! He shot the ball in!!"

"Hahahahahahaha! Hoffenheim really did it! He really did it!"

Seeing Chu Zhongtian shoot the football into the goal, his father stood up in the box and raised his arms to cheer. Gao Hongbo next to him was like him. Those who support Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim in the box were cheering and celebrating, while Barcelona fans sat there without saying a word.

They still can't accept this reality... Not only them, but also all the Barcelona fans in the stands, Barcelona players and coaches on the bench, and Barcelona players on the court, could not accept such a result - Barcelona, ​​who had one more person, was tied by the opponent at the last moment of the game?!

Chu Zhongtian, who scored the goal, ran to the stands where Barcelona fans gathered, and then put his index finger at his mouth, signaling the noisy Barcelona fans to shut up!

From the time these people started celebrating victory in advance, Chu Zhongtian was very upset. We haven’t given up yet, what are you celebrating in advance?

This ball finally helped him get angry!

After shutting up the Barcelona fans, he turned around and opened his arms to greet his teammates.

All Hoffenheim players flocked to him, and the closest to him was Van Nistruei. A big brother-like figure jumped onto Chu Zhongtian's body, like a young man, waving his arms vigorously and shouting: "Beautiful job, Chu! So beautiful!"

More teammates rushed up to completely submerge them, and even goalkeeper Daniel Haas ran to the entire court and rushed towards them to participate in the celebration.

Of course they had reason to be so crazy, because the glory of the survivor of the disaster was so sweet. Just a minute ago, they watched Chu Zhongtian shoot the missing ball at the goal with despair. After one minute, the stone in their hearts could land!

Chu Zhongtian's excitement passed quickly. He knew that it was far from a happy time, because there were still a few minutes and ninety minutes of the game to end. At the same time, they had to accept the torment of thirty minutes of overtime. For Hoffenheim, who was one less, this was not good news.

While everyone was gathering around him, in the noisy environment, he shouted to his teammates: "The game is not over yet! Brothers, we still have an overtime game to play, so calm down now! Our situation has not been completely reversed. We have to do our best every minute in the next minute! I know that everyone has been running for 90 minutes and is already very tired. But no matter how tired it is, it will only be thirty minutes, so we have to persevere anyway!"

In fact, what will happen next? Not only his teammates, but even Chu Zhongtian himself doesn’t know. Should he work hard to attack or defend hard? If he delays the penalty, how much winning rate will we have?

These Hoffenheim players didn't know. They just simply didn't want this difficult draw to be wasted.

※※※"Hahaha! Long live! Chu Zhongtian!"

"So powerful! So fucking powerful! Chu Zhongtian is so awesome!"

"Damn! I don't believe this is true! Chinese players actually scored such an important goal in the Champions League final!"

"It's so exciting! My heart can't stand it anymore!"

...Just when Chu Zhongtian shot the football into Barcelona goal, he was also in a panic on the Chinese Internet. Everyone was venting their emotions.

"Although I'm not a Hoffenheim fan! But at the moment Chu Zhongtian scored, I still cried!"

"Ohhh! Come on Chu Zhongtian! Ohhhh! Come on Chu Zhongtian!"

"We all love Lin Danda! We all love Lin Danda!"

He Ping's voice on TV was also very excited: "This is the first goal scored by a Chinese player in the UEFA Champions League final! Chu Zhongtian made history!!"

※※※ Hoffenheim's celebration was a bit long, so the referees intervened. But this is not because they were very grateful for being able to escape from death, so they celebrated desperately. This is at Chu Zhongtian's request, everyone tried their best to use the celebration goals to delay time and at the same time recovered their physical strength. After all, Hoffenheim is one less person than Barcelona, ​​and the distance they need to run continuously on the court is longer than Barcelona players, and their physical strength is consumed hugely. There are still 30 minutes of overtime in the next game. If they collapse in overtime due to physical fitness problems, then their desperate equalization will lose their meaning.

With the interference of the referee, Hoffenheim ended their celebration and slowly walked back to their respective halfs, and they were hurrying to rest.

But they were actually over-thinking. Barcelona had not recovered from the concealed ball at this time. Even if the game started again, their offense seemed rough and impatient, and their success rate was very low.

It's normal to think about it. The game was in the 88th minute. They were about to win the championship, but they didn't expect that the opponent with one less person used a quick counterattack to equalize the score. No one would be able to accept such a result at once. Barcelona has been almost smooth sailing this season. There are few times when they are in danger in the game. Their strong attack power and ball control ability can always make them turn the next game into garbage time in the first thirty minutes of the game.

The habit of being so smooth is that they are a little slow to respond to sudden unexpected situations.

Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the ninety-minute game, they were unable to make an effective counterattack. They still looked confused on their faces.

However, Hoffenheim players are very energetic. Although they are already very tired, their high fighting spirit stimulates them and makes them feel completely unhappy.

"The ninety minutes of the game ended! This final, which was considered to be unsurprising before the game, was dragged into overtime!"

"Who said before the game that the only suspense in this game is how many goals Barcelona can win? Hoffenheim slapped them hard!"

"Chu Zhongtian is Hoffenheim's best performance in this game! His goal allowed the team to tie Barcelona before the end of the game..."

Everyone is praising Hoffenheim's tenacity.

Only the Catalonian commentator was encouraging his team: "There is nothing to worry about. Hoffenheim is one less person than Barcelona after all, and they are in a very fast pace throughout the game, which is a huge test for their physical fitness. I don't believe that under such circumstances, they can still maintain sufficient physical strength and run quickly. So as long as we make good use of these thirty minutes, it will be a chance to defeat Hoffenheim! There is no need to be too much, just one ball is enough!"

In this case, Guardiola is also repeating to his players.

Before overtime, both sides had five minutes of rest. Because the time was short, no one would go back to the locker room. Instead, they sat in a bunch of people on the side of the court, listening to the head coach's strategy of arranging overtime. At the same time, the physiotherapist on the team would also give the tired players a tight time to massage the fatigued players to help them recover their physical strength and energy.

Guardiola encouraged Barcelona players in the middle of the crowd: "Their physical strength is definitely not enough to support 30 minutes of overtime. We must firmly control the football under our feet, mobilize them back and forth, make them tired, consume their physical fitness, and then wait for their defense to reveal flaws..."

On the other hand, Rangnick was also cheering his players: "Is Barcelona very good? Very awesome! But we can also make them so embarrassed! We can drag them into overtime, so we are even more awesome! I know you are all very tired, so we should not just pursue speed in overtime. In the first half of overtime, we retain our physical strength, no matter how Barcelona falls outside us, ignore them, we shrink our defense, hold on to these fifteen minutes, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack in the second half!"

Five minutes passed quickly. The players got up from the ground and prepared to enter a new battle.

It can be seen that everyone is very tired, both Hoffenheim and Barcelona players are like this. After all, they played 90 minutes of high-quality games, with fierce confrontations, fast rhythm changes, and people who are not tired are monsters.

Chu Zhongtian is such a monster. He may now be the best player in physical fitness except for goalkeepers on both sides. The physiotherapist in the team originally wanted to come up to massage his legs, but he refused, asking him to massage his teammates who needed help the most.

Many people were surprised that Chu Zhongtian had such strong physical fitness, but Wimbledon fans were accustomed to it.

When Chu Zhongtian was still playing football with them, he ran to participate in training, to participate in the competition, and came back. After playing a ninety-minute game, he still had the energy to run back, and he could see how good physical fitness he had.

※※※Just ※Just ※Justel Guardiola used the third substitution quota - he replaced Abidal with Boyon, and his intention to strengthen the offense was obvious. He didn't want to play any penalty-final battle with Hoffenheim. For Barcelona, ​​who has such strong strength, being dragged into a penalty-final battle is simply a shame, and this will greatly affect the mentality of Barcelona players. Penalty final battle is the most important mentality... In the first half of the overtime game, Hoffenheim completely shrank in the 30-meter area and hardly counterattacked. The counterattack just kicked the football forward, and then Van Nistruei controlled the football, and Chu Zhongtian rushed forward to support - if the time was not good, Chu Zhongtian ignored Van Nistruei and would not go up at all, allowing Van Nistruei to concede the ball.

Facing Hoffenheim's iron barrel formation, Barcelona had no choice. Many Barcelona fans thought of the scene when they faced Inter Milan at home in the Champions League semi-finals last year.

"Hoffenheim is so passive and conservative! This is simply a regression in football!" The Catalonian commentator said angrily. "What is the significance of winning such a victory?! Fans come to watch the game on the spot, not to see the turtle shroud!"

Of course, what he should say, because whoever pushes out against Barcelona in this situation will be the number one fool in the world. As a supporter of Barcelona, ​​he always hopes that Barcelona's opponents are super large fools, so that Barcelona can win one championship after another without any bloodshed and create a dynasty that will last for generations.

Originally, this final could have been the starting point for all this, but the dream was shattered in the 88th minute of the game.

When Hoffenheim shrank and defended, Barcelona fans booed in the stands, but their booed sounded nothing, because in fact, there were only a few thousand Barcelona fans who were really willing to attack their opponents in the stands... More than half of the tickets were given to Barcelona's sponsors, business partners and celebrity guests. The booed by these thousands was soon overwhelmed by the singing of more than 10,000 Hoffenheim fans.

Hoffenheim fans all stood up from their seats and waved their arms and sang: "We come from the countryside! We have nothing!! We are extremely strong! We advocate freedom! We are country bumpkins! But we are full of pursuits!!"

The roar of the country bumpkins shocked the audience and resounded throughout the sky. After hearing such a song, the British commentator sighed: "No wonder the Rhine-Neka Stadium is called the home court by many people... With such a group of fans, Hoffenheim can really defeat all powerful enemies at their home court..."

※※※Facing with Hoffenheim who cannot defend himself, Barcelona has no good idea. Fifteen minutes passed in a flash. When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, the score was still 3:3.

The players on both sides did not leave the court and directly exchanged venues to start the second half of the game.

After fifteen minutes of attack, Barcelona failed to win the game. This must be a blow to the morale of Barcelona players. Although Hoffenheim players worked hard to defend, the result was satisfying everyone. Their faces were even filled with pathological rosy and full of energy.

Chu Zhongtian was not happy at all. When he lowered his head and walked towards the opposite half, he was thinking about how the team would play in the second half of the overtime game.

The team played well in the first half because we were clear about our minds. What about the second half? Counterattack? To be honest, Chu Zhongtian observed for fifteen minutes and believed that the team had no extra strength to make that sharp and fast attack. Salihovic could hardly run anymore. It was impossible to break through Barcelona's defense only by Van Nistroy and himself.

If you still defend the ball, even if you guard the penalty kick, it will be futile. Look at the goalkeepers on both sides, they are not of the same level at all. Chu Zhongtian himself has no confidence in Haas. Haas is not the kind of goalkeeper who is good at saving penalty kicks.

This seems to be a battle that is doomed to failure. Their efforts are nothing more than turning the time of failure from ninety minutes to one hundred and twenty minutes... Many people think of this and think that such struggle is meaningless and may lose their fighting spirit.

We must never let our teammates have such emotions. Therefore, even if we are the only one in the second half, we should try to launch some counterattacks to increase everyone's morale.

※※"It's been one hundred and five minutes... This game is really unexpected." The second half of the overtime game started with the referee's whistle, and the commentator sighed. "Barcelona has never encountered such a hard battle in this season. Even when facing its arch rival Real Madrid, they are at ease. Everyone is shouting that Barcelona is invincible and invincible. But the weak Hoffenheim allows everyone to see the possibility of defeating Barcelona-they are not

Invincible in the world! They will also be scored three goals by the opponent in one game! They will also be equalized with the advantage! They will also face the opponent's defensive and cannot find a chance to score... I think this is what this final tells us. Next season, there will definitely be many teams following Hoffenheim's. Barcelona will encounter unprecedented resistance. At the beginning of this season, Mourinho once criticized La Liga for many teams who will not fight when they see Barcelona. I think this will not happen next season..."

The second half of the game began, Hoffenheim was still on the defensive, and Barcelona continued to attack.

"Barcelona's offensive is full of tide! They have the hope of breaking Hoffenheim's goal in these fifteen minutes!" Similarly, the Catalonian commentator said at the beginning of the first half of overtime.

"Alves is here! He is here! Crossing!!"

The football was passed by Alves in front of the goal, Hoffenheim's defenders and Barcelona's offensive players were entangled. Barcelona's forwards were generally very short and did not have an advantage in fighting for a high ball, so the football was easily pushed out by central defender Simonic.

However, Barcelona's attack was not over. They intercepted the ball from the outside and continued to attack.

In the first five minutes, Hoffenheim's defense was successful. However, as Hoffenheim players' physical fitness declined, their disadvantages began to become more and more obvious. Everyone could see that there were some balls, and Hoffenheim's players were obviously closer to each other, but the players who got the ball in the end were Barcelona players. They used their skillful passing skills to save a lot of physical strength, while Hoffenheim had no other way except to run back and forth.

"Hoffenheim is already at a point where he may collapse at any time!" The Catalan narrator announced excitedly.

This is true... When Hoffenheim's players no longer have the energy, their defense naturally had a lot of flaws... In the 113th minute, Barcelona organized an attack. Hoffenheim's frontal defense was inseparable from the organization. But this time it didn't work. Xavi seized the opportunity and suddenly passed the ball over the top! The football flew over the head of the central defender Simonic and fell straight behind them!

At the same time, Bo Yang suddenly stepped forward, forming a single-sword momentum!

Fortunately, goalkeeper Daniel Haas made a judgment in advance, decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, and rushed out the football double boxing in front of Bo Yang!

"It's so dangerous!"

"What a beautiful attack!"

"It seems that Hoffenheim is really at the end of his life... The goalkeeper ran to the penalty area line to rescue the enemy. This was not common in previous games..."

Hoffenheim players were so shocked that they survived their death, but found that Haas, who had attacked and collided with Bo Yang, was lying on the ground but did not get up for a long time.

"Has is injured!"

Many Hoffenheim players felt a little sad... This is their last goalkeeper. If it is true... Chu Zhongtian ran over and squatted beside Haas and asked him: "Daniel? How do you feel?"
To be continued...
