Chapter 184 God descends to earth(1/2)
The second half took ten minutes, and the two sides were in a hurry, but no one scored a goal.
But everyone believes that it will be a matter of time before they score a goal, no matter which side they are.
Because everyone is too open to play.
In the 57th minute, Inter Milan scored consecutive goals.
First, Sneijder's sudden long shot was blocked by Simonic and the football was blocked. The one who got the ball was not Hoffenheim's player, but Inter Milan's Pandev. They got the chance to attack the second time.
Pandev made a fake shot, deceived Sana, and then passed directly into Hoffenheim's penalty area.
"Etoo!"
The Cameroonian Cheetahs rushed to the ball in a diagonal position and then turned around and shot. This time the ball was saved by Hildebran from the bottom line.
"Corner kick!"
Although Inter Milan has a strong offensive, Hoffenheim took advantage of this corner kick to hit Inter Milan's quick counterattack.
At that time, Sneijder took the corner kick, and Pogattz pushed the ball out before Lucio. It was Cambiaso who received the ball, but his ball did not stop well and was cut off by Hoffenheim's Sana.
Sana, who cut off the ball, handed the ball to Chu Zhongtian who had already run forward. Chu Zhongtian did not continue to dribble the ball, but directly passed it to find Eduardo who was going from the front.
After passing the ball, he continued to run forward.
Other Hoffenheim players also rushed up, just like a rising tide, coming in full force.
Inter Milan players desperately returned to defense.
In the end, Eduardo did not choose to pass it to Salihovic, who was receiving him in the middle, but instead shot directly from a small angle. The football almost entered because he had already drilled between Cesar's legs, but at the last moment, Cesar's left heel dragged behind and knocked it a little, changing the line, and finally missed the goal.
Hoffenheim also returned an Inter Milan corner kick.
After the second half, Inter Milan's head coach Mourinho did not return to his coaching seat, and he was a little nervous.
Rangnick is just as nervous as him.
Two nervous head coaches stood on the sidelines, staring at the changes in the field. Occasionally, by yelling and whistling, gestures to give instructions.
"Press up a little more!"
"The full-back needs assist!"
"Be careful to maintain formation!"
“Cross-transfer!”
...No one wants to concede the ball first, and no one wants to score other people's goals first.
This sounds a bit contradictory.
But the two teams are striving for this goal.
The full-back Maicon, who was suppressed by Hoffenheim's offensive in the first half, became active in the second half, frequently crossing the center line, assisting within Hoffenheim's 30-meter area. He didn't look like a fullback, but a winger.
※※In the 64th minute, when Sneed was holding the ball at the front of Hoffenheim's penalty area, Sana pulled the jersey. He rushed forward and Sana grabbed his jersey back. The angry Sneed shook his hand back and almost hit Sana.
As the game progresses, the anxiety in the hearts of Inter Milan players is emerging little by little. If they cannot score a goal as soon as possible, the game will be out of the blue.
Sneider did not hit Sana, but attracted the attention of the referee. The referee of this game immediately blew the whistle to pause the game and awarded Inter Milan a free kick in the frontcourt.
Hoffenheim fans in the stands booed a huge boo. They believed that the referee should have fouled Sneider and gave him a yellow card because his waving back was very bad. As long as he hit Sana, it would definitely be a card, and the color was also very likely to be red. However, Sana did not put his face up, otherwise even if it was gently scratched, he would have to cover his face with both hands and roll on the ground in pain so that the referee could directly send Sneider off.
As Inter Milan's offensive core, if Sneijder is sent off, it will be even more difficult for Inter Milan to play in this game.
But the referee not only did not send Sneider off, but also awarded Inter Milan a free kick, which made Hoffenheim fans very dissatisfied.
"Is it our home court?" Some fans cursed in the stands.
"Twenty-six meters away from the goal." The straight-line distance of this free kick was hit at the bottom of the screen. "Sneder stood in front of the ball. When he was at Real Madrid, he was the free kicker. After coming to Inter Milan, he was still responsible for taking the free kick." The Dutchman is very proficient in set pieces... Hoffenheim also knows that Sneder is good at, so he lined up with seven people in the wall.
Hildebran also leaned nervously against the doorpost to command the position of the man wall: "Hey! Hey! Luther! Lean to the left! The man wall is on the left as a whole! Left, left!"
Sneijder did not have a free kick and he didn't plan to do that. He stood in front of the football and waited for Hoffenheim to put the wall in place.
"Although Inter Milan has obtained some chances to score in the second half, it always gives people a feeling that it is a little bit worse. If you can't score in sports games, set-up balls will be their best opportunity."
There was no sign, but the tense atmosphere had already spread across the Hoffenheim penalty area.
After finally getting the wall arranged, Hildebran signaled to be OK and then retreated to his own position.
The referee checked the wall and stepped back, then he blew the whistle in his mouth.
Sneider assisted and shot!
The football drew an arc, bypassed the jumping wall, and fell straight to the near corner of the goal!
Hildebran watched the football fly out from behind the wall and struggled to save!
Despite this, the football flew into the goal before him!
"The ball is in!!"
After Sneider shot out the football, he looked around. When he saw the football flew into the goal, he turned around and ran to the coach's seat with his arms wide open.
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were stunned for a moment - why did they score? How could such a simple goal be scored?
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" The Italian commentator was most excited, he yelled in a lengthening voice. "goalgoalgoalgoalgoalgoalgoalgoalgoal!goal!!goal! Wesley Sneider! He did it! He did it! He scored a gold goal for the team! Inter Milan led the total score again, 4:3!"
Inter Milan fans cheered hugely, and Inter Milan players on the stadium were also chasing Sneider's back and running towards the coach's seat.
Sneijder ran to the coaching seat, plunged into the crowd, and hugged Mourinho. He can perform like this this season, thanks to Mourinho. When Real Madrid insisted on selling him, Mourinho ordered him to join. In Inter Milan, he got the position of the core of the main force, and he can finally show his strength to the world.
Now, in such an important game, I naturally have to thank Mourinho for scoring such a crucial goal.
In fact, Mourinho has to thank Sneijder for this goal. This goal made a big stone in his heart land. Hoffenheim scored a goal at home, and Hoffenheim had to score another goal to ensure that they would not be eliminated after the 90-minute game, and scored two more goals to allow them to advance directly.
While the players were running back to celebrate the goal, he said to everyone: "Defense! Contract the defense and hit their counterattack!"
Italian commentator criticized Mourinho for being conservative, and Inter Milan at the beginning of the second half made him like it very much. But that was the commentator's opinion after all. As a head coach, Mourinho believes that as long as conservative can make him win, he would rather be conservative.
The current situation is that if you continue to attack against Hoffenheim, you will sooner or later lose the ball. But they can defend and counterattack, because Hoffenheim urgently needs a goal, and they will press up to find a goal regardless of the effort. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of room behind you. Their team did not make good use of it in the first half, and they can't do this anymore in the second half.
However, Mourinho deliberately put this issue aside in his subconsciously and did not consider whether such a defensive counterattack could withstand Hoffenheim's full-strength attack.
※※※"Bastard! Damn! Damn!" Hildebran cursed at the football in the net. He was not scolding any of his teammates. He was just angry that he did not save such a ball. It was this concealment that allowed the initiative in the game to return to his opponent Inter Milan.
Like him, other teammates were also frustrated with conceding the ball. This hit was a bit big.
Did we prepare carefully for more than two weeks and still couldn't beat our opponent's free kick? Are we going to say goodbye to this season's Champions League?
When everyone thinks of that future, they feel tight.
"Papapapapapapa!" Chu Zhongtian's applause rang.
"The initiative has gone to the opponent, but it doesn't matter, brothers!" he shouted. "When the game just started, was the initiative with us? The initiative has to be fought for ourselves! So it's no big deal. Let's continue to attack and score one more goal and two more goals!"
After saying that, he ran to the goal and picked up the football and held it in his arms. This time, none of him ran to the middle circle to put the football down, but gave it to Ibisekic: "Go and kick off, Ibis." He said to his old friend.
Then he waved to his teammates: "Don't let the opponent underestimate us! Since we can score two of them in the first half, we can still score!!"
※※※When Inter Milan saw that they scored a goal, the commentators who were singing praises for Hoffenheim just now also changed their supporters, and agreed that Inter Milan had a resurrection and gained the upper hand in the battle for promotion.
He Ping was a little disappointed. He shook his head in the studio and said, "Hoffenheim defended Inter Milan's attacks many times, but he could not defend Inter Milan's free kicks. Settings are full of accidents, and this accident made them unlucky this time. Although Hoffenheim's performance in this game is very good,... this is football, there will always be many accidents that are opposite to your expectations..."
The TV broadcast gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up. As the player who performed the best in this game, if his team did not advance in the end, it would undoubtedly be a big blow to him. The broadcast director also understood this truth, so he used this method to express his meaning.
"Chu Zhongtian... His performance is very, very good. We can't say that Hoffenheim is not strong enough. Hoffenheim's performance in this game is definitely the top European in Europe. They made Inter Milan useless in the first half. But luck... I can only say that this is not lucky enough."
Gong Lei interrupted from the side: "Murinho's team is like this. Sometimes, they watch them being beaten by their opponents throughout the game, without any strength to fight back, but they won the game in the end. Sometimes, one or two counterattacks determine the result of the game."
After Inter Milan scored a goal, there was also a lot of grief on the Internet in China. They were optimistic about Hoffenheim's dark horse myth and overturned Inter Milan. However, they thought that Inter Milan relied on an opportunity that was not an opportunity to score a key goal.
The fans of AC Milan were furious, while the fans of Inter Milan also expressed regretfully that Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim performed well, and it was a pity that they did not advance.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian is very clear about what the current situation of the team is. If they cannot score as soon as possible and pull both sides to the same starting line again, then as time goes by, the situation will become more and more unfavorable for them. Mourinho's Inter Milan is very good at defensive counterattacks... and at that time there is not much time left, and he is not sure that he and his teammates can remain calm and implement the tactics formulated before.
Therefore, we cannot delay. At present, the most important thing for the team is to score the goal as soon as possible. As long as the goal is scored, everything is easy to say. Even if the two sides only draw the overall score, the away goal difference is only a draw. That is better than being eliminated as soon as the ninety-minute game arrives. The draw can also give your team time to 30 minutes of overtime.
If the goal scored early and there was still time, maybe he could still score another goal with this momentum?
Before the kickoff, Chu Zhongtian shouted to his teammates: "It's still like the first half!"
Everyone knows what to do.
Now is not a time to be depressed. There are still twenty-five minutes left in the game. If you give up so early, how can you be willing to let it go?
Attack, as in the first half!
The captain said it was right. Since we could score two of them in the first half, they would have no power to fight back. Now as long as we want, we can definitely score their goals again!
The referee blew the whistle to restart the game, and Van Nistroy kicked the football to Ibisevic, who turned around and passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian's position is a little higher than before, which is a signal that the team is going to make a big attack.
After receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian did not pass the ball, but drove the ball forward by himself.
He only passed the ball when he faced Sneider's interception, but soon the football was passed to his feet. He continued to dribble until he faced the second Inter player who came up to intercept him.
This time he divided the football directly to the side. Salihovic made a move to cross it, but led the football horizontally to the middle. At the same time, Chu Zhongtian passed from behind him and pulled it to the side.
He is Hoffenheim's offensive core. Inter Milan players all know that Hoffenheim will basically hand over football to him in the offense. Wherever others are, Hoffenheim's offensive direction is there.
So Inter Milan's defense leaned against the sideways where Xiang Chu Zhongtian was.
To be continued...
