Chapter 81 Battle in the Air

There will always be such voices before the game, and the most eye-catching voice before her Berlin was the battle letter made by Katzar against Chu Zhongtian. It is hard to say whether this was Katzar's personal act or Hertha's psychological tactics. But Katzar's words did push him and Chu Zhongtian down to a highly-watched situation.

This match between the second and third place match has another highlight - whether Chu Zhongtian will face Katchar's provocation and how to fight.

The game was not scheduled on Saturday and Sunday, but was placed on Friday night, which was the first game of the 29th round.

Hildebran, who has been plagued by injuries in this game, can finally start the game. During the winter break, he freely transferred to Hoffenheim. He originally wanted to be a freshman, but he did not expect that he would be injured and missed the game many times after he came.

At the age of 29, he is no longer young. Although the goalkeeper is a relatively long-lived position, he is always injured frequently and will greatly shorten his career life.

It is a good thing for him to come back in this critical battle.

"Hey, Chu. Be careful of that Katchar in the game." Hildebran, who could start, was in a good mood. He patted Chu Zhongtian's shoulder with his big hand and reminded him.

Everyone knows the challenge that Katzar issued to Chu Zhongtian before the game. There are many people in the team who are angry about this. They all think Katzar is too crazy and must give this kid some excellence.

Older teammates reminded Chu Zhongtian to pay attention to the opponent's small movements.

Although thanking them for their concern, Chu Zhongtian was not afraid to confront Katchar, whether it was physical or small movements.

In terms of small movements, when playing football in Wimbledon, the English Amateur League small movements were not small at all. Even due to the uneven referee level, many small movements were very bad. But he still survived in such an environment and basically had no record of injury. So he was not afraid of any opponent's small movements.

In terms of physical confrontation, in Ligue 1, he can compete with Kana, who has the title of "killing machine", without any disadvantage at all, and you can know that he also has an advantage in this regard.

No matter how powerful that Katchar is, for him, it is not as good as a murderer and amateur league murderer, so there is nothing to worry about.

But he still thanks everyone for their kindness.

"Thank you for your reminder, Timmer."

Ibisevic was full of confidence in Chu Zhongtian and was not worried that Chu Zhongtian would suffer. He took over the conversation: "Don't worry, Timmer. That boy can't win Chu. The first time they fought was because they were lucky, but this time it was not necessarily the case."

Assistant coach Marichi walked in, "It's all quiet, the head coach is here."

The locker room suddenly became quiet, and soon head coach Rangnick, accompanied by another assistant coach, walked into the locker room.

This is the last opportunity to speak before the game. It is not advisable to do too many tactical explanations at this time, because everyone's mind is not on these details at all. The tactics have been explained in the tactic class last night. Now what the head coach has to do is to mobilize the players' fighting will, mobilize their emotions, and make them full of fighting spirit. This is what an excellent head coach should do. A head coach who doesn't know what to say before the game and only knows nonsense can only make the team follow him and be confused after playing.

There is no such thing in reality. When the game is too important, some head coaches will lose their calmness due to excessive pressure, either become overly excited or their brains are blank. What such a head coach can instill in the players is completely imaginable... So many teams with strong strength perform in some games but they are completely incomprehensible. In addition to betting on football, there is another explanation... Rangnick is not a master who is good at psychological training, but the basic work can always be completed.

"That's right, boys. I suddenly remembered something, and now I regret it - I shouldn't have shown you the video of Hertha Berlin's last rounds of league games yesterday, I should have shown you the video of the last time we played against them. Because it reminds you how this team took the victory at their home court."

Although he said this, his words made everyone think of the game in the first half of the season, except for Bogatts and Hildebran who were not in the team in the first half of the season.

That game was the game after their five consecutive victories. The team originally hoped to win Hertha Berlin and win six consecutive victories.

In fact, after losing that game, Rangnick was very happy because the defeat before the match against Bayern Munich came in time, pouring cold water on the players and making them all wake up, so that they can perform so well when they face Bayern Munich.

However, this kind of thing depends on where it is used. Now the team needs continuous victory to boost morale, so Rangnick mentioned this game again and gave it another meaning - revenge.

"Think about how they treated us? So it's a battle of revenge!"

The players' emotions were instantly mobilized. This was indeed a battle of revenge. In addition, the bastard Katzar made a fuss before the game, so no matter what, you can't lose in this game. No, you can't just lose, you have to win Hertha Berlin without any temper!

"Okay, go out and fight them now!"

The players stood up from their seats screaming.

※※※Because he had disrespect for Chu Zhongtian before the game, Katchar heard the booing in the stands of the Rhine-Neka Stadium when he appeared.

Chu Zhongtian has won the hearts of all Hoffenheim fans through his own performance, and everyone has accepted that he is the core of the team captain and the image of the flag.

Someone attacking Chu Zhongtian is equivalent to attacking Hoffenheim, and Hoffenheim fans will not agree to this.

So after the game begins, as long as Katchar gets the ball, a booing sounds in the stands.

Duan Bin was actually very proud to hear this voice when he was commenting on the game - it was possible for foreign fans to boo another person for him. Chinese football players have such influence abroad, and I am afraid that Chu Zhongtian is the only one who can be the only one.

At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim launched a fierce offensive as usual. In the fourth minute, Chu Zhongtian passed back to Salihovic, who shot directly from a long distance and missed the post. In the seventh minute, Salihovic received another pass from Chu Zhongtian, and then took it horizontally to the front of the penalty area and then missed the shot.

Two consecutive attacks show that Hoffenheim is bound to win this three-pointer at home.

Hertha Berlin saw that Hoffenheim was very powerful in this game, so he used their killer move - foul tactics.

When Chu Zhongtian got the ball again, No. 44 Kachar rushed up from the side, then pushed directly on Chu Zhongtian's shoulder. His hand pushed forward, but his feet were hooking backwards. This was clearly a foul.

But Chu Zhongtian insisted on not falling to the ground, and the football was still under his feet.

He knew what the opponent was planning - using frequent fouls to force him to lose the ball. Although they could not get possession, they could disrupt Hoffenheim's offensive rhythm. Hoffenheim's rhythm was very fast, just like a train running at high speed on the track. Once it started, the speed was very fast, but if you suddenly brake suddenly at this time, you can imagine what the result would be. A train frequently accelerates, brakes suddenly, starts acceleration, and brakes suddenly, which is not a good thing for the passengers on the train and the train itself.

Hertha Berlin did this kind of thing, which made Hoffenheim tell the train to keep starting and speeding up and brake suddenly. If you do it a few more times, the team will not find the original rhythm.

The last time they fought Hoffenheim at their home court, it turned out to be very useful. They won 2:1 and led two goals at one time. It was not until the end that Hoffenheim scored a goal to save face.

With such a battle example, it is not surprising that Hertha Berlin believes that foul tactics are the best weapon to deal with Hoffenheim.

But if the ball is not lost, the opponent's wishful thinking will be at least half of it.

But the referee still blew the whistle and ordered Hertha Berlin to be fouled.

A booed Katchar in the stands, but Chu Zhongtian was not very satisfied with the referee's penalty, which undoubtedly made the opponent's wishful thinking - no matter whether you fall to the ground or not, as long as the referee blew the whistle, the game was interrupted and the sudden brake was completed.

Chu Zhongtian complained to the referee: "I haven't lost the ball yet..."

However, this also made him realize that even if he did not lose the ball, he would not have been spending too long with the opponent.

The best way to fight back is not to kick back, or simply fall to the ground and make a painful case for the referee to take out the cards for the opponent. Instead, he still passes a wonderful pass, completes an attack, threatens the opponent's goal, or even scores a goal. Because only in this way can the opponent find out that their foul tactics are not effective at all! If you go back to the foul, you can only get the cards yourself. If you fall to the ground, although the opponent is punished, your attack is not completed. Chu Zhongtian doesn't like that kind of opponent's touch

Just playing on the ground can certainly avoid injury, but it is too weak in the game, which will only make the opponent feel that you are easy to bully. Always complaining to the referee after falling to the ground, it is not his Chu Zhongtian's style. It's like a child who has been wronged and only knows to sue his parents and teachers, hoping to play football under the protection of the referee. But there is no way to go on the football field. You may encounter a referee who strictly enforces the law, or you may encounter a referee who is soft-blowing. Putting your hope on the referee is a down-handed act.

The game started again, Katchar was a little proud. He raised his head and looked at Chu Zhongtian in the distance with his condescending eyes. This time he won.

"It seems that the weapon against Chu, the head coach of Hertha Berlin, said before the game, is a foul tactic... It's really not creative, but it's very useful from the moment. Chu Zhongtian wants to control the football under his feet to attack, and he really hates being constantly fouled. The referee of this game also looks quite strict. Chu was still controlling the ball just now, but he had already blew the whistle to indicate that the opponent was fouled. For Chu, this is a good thing, avoiding the possibility of injury..."

But the commentator didn't know that Chu Zhongtian was not grateful... Chu Zhongtian was not afraid of injury, and it could even be said that his physical fitness made him rarely injured. In his career for so many years, he had the most serious injuries himself. Once he was a thigh muscle strain and another was an arm fracture, and it was not caused by anyone who violated him.

※※※In the fifteenth minute, Chu Zhongtian's ball at the front of the penalty area was again posted by Kachar. This time he wanted to force Chu Zhongtian to pass the ball back. It seemed that he had the upper hand because Chu Zhongtian turned around to protect the ball, and now he was facing his back to the attack direction and could only pass the ball back.

Chu Zhongtian leaned back against Kachal, stepped on the football under his feet, forming a right-angle triangle. Kachal could not reach his football and kicked his support foot directly, and would give Hoffenheim a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area. Before the game, head coach Favre reminded all the players that although they wanted to use foul tactics, they did not matter where the occasion. In dangerous areas, try to use foul tactics as little as possible to avoid giving Hoffenheim free kicks. You should know that Hoffenheim has a set piece expert Salihovic. His direct free kick is quite threatening. So far, he has scored five direct free kicks.

So here, Katchar is not afraid to foul the target of Chu Zhongtian, but he is stuck in the position so that he cannot turn around easily. As long as the football is passed to the midfield, Hertha Berlin can use the foul tactics to his heart's content.

But Chu Zhongtian did not perform according to the script designed by Katchar.

Kachar felt that his target was becoming unhonest, and he seemed to want to force his turn from the left, so he quickly pushed his body up and pressed against Chu Zhongtian's route. At the same time, in order to prevent him from escaping from the other side, his hand was still pulling Chu Zhongtian's jersey.

Chu Zhongtian turned to the left with a false move, but he did not want to escape from the other side. He just made room for himself to move. When he felt that Katchar behind him was also moved, he turned around suddenly and used a very difficult move to pass the football in the direction he had turned back to the front!

"Pass! Beautiful back-to-back pass! How did Chu see that position?"

Salihovic did not have any hope of receiving the pass at the beginning, but when the football was really passed, he still made a very beautiful stop action. This was completely conditioned reflex and the result of years of training.

Kachar was still surprised by Chu Zhongtian's pass when he saw Chu Zhongtian turn around and run behind him. He reacted and hurriedly followed.

At the same time, Salihovic's cross also arrived. Hertha's central defenders were all marking the three most terrifying tridents, namely Ibissevic, Obasi and Demba. Ba, while the only one defending Chu Zhongtian was Kazar who was following behind his butt.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly jumped up when he ran to the penalty spot. Kachar did not catch Chu Zhongtian's rhythm. He watched Hoffenheim's No. 8 jump in the air. It was too late to jump up to defend. Now he could only stand on the ground, raise his head, and watch Chu Zhongtian slide in the air with his arms spread out, as if flying... Ibicevic jumped up at the front point, but he did not hit the ball. Steve_von_bergen, the center back who defended him, jumped up and did not hit the ball.

The football flew to the center of the penalty area, facing the goal, Chu Zhongtian was in that area. At this time, there was only one defensive player in front of Chu Zhongtian, Hertha's central defender Simunic!

"Salihovic's cross... Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian, who was jumping in the air, saw Simunic standing in front of him, and the opponent had already jumped up, but he was obviously half a beat slower... At this time, Chu Zhongtian didn't care whether there was one person in front of him or ten people in front of him, he had already jumped in the air. Even if he wanted to collide with the person in front of him, he couldn't care so much.

Of course, Simunic also saw Chu Zhongtian. He would not think that Chu Zhongtian would make way out of politeness, and no one could give up this ball!

Soon the two met in the air, Chu Zhongtian shook his head towards the goal, and Simunic shook his head outside the penalty area.

"Head!"

That moment was too fast, and no one saw who touched the ball first. Hertha Berlin goalkeeper Jaroslav_drobny only saw the football suddenly flying towards him. He rose into the air like a conditioned reflex and waved to play, but he was one step late... "Chu Zhongtian's header... the ball entered!!"

“goooooooooooooooool!!!”

"In the fifteenth minute! Hoffenheim took a goal and led the way! What a beautiful start!"

"Chu Zhongtian scored his seventh goal of the season! A beautiful header! So beautiful!" Duan Bin was happily dancing in the studio.

The competition in the air just ended, and Chu Zhongtian still maintained his head-shaking action, while Simunic was knocked over by him and lost his center of gravity.

Simonic, who fell to the sky with his back, only saw Chu Zhongtian getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, almost covering the entire sky in front of him. In the end, his face was completely unaware, and only a large black shadow was left.

A huge roar sounded in his ears, which was the noise made by Hoffenheim fans in the stands, but to him, it sounded like a Boeing plane took off from his head... That's right, in his eyes, the black shadow covering the sky had turned into a huge plane.

One person, losing to a plane... There seems to be nothing to be ashamed... After landing, Chu Zhongtian ran straight to the stand where Hoffenheim fans gathered, waved his arms at them, and the fans in the stands responded to him with huge cheers.

"Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! We are Hoffenheim!!"

Behind him are Katzar and other Hertha Berlin players who set the background for him.
