Chapter 206 The Champions League Final Level Opponent
After passing the football to his teammate Ibisevic in an unconventional way, Chu Zhongtian cut the running position from the two of them. Without the ball, he was much more free to run.
When Ibisekic saw him running out, he passed the football over.
Bayern Munich players obviously know that Chu Zhongtian is the core of Hoffenheim, so when Ibissevic passed the football to Chu Zhongtian again, two more players rushed forward, one was Thomas Muller, and the other was Ribery, who was supposed to be on the wing.
They all thought Chu Zhongtian would catch the ball, and Chu Zhongtian did make a side move to catch the ball, but when the football really rolled over, he turned around and ran away. The football passed through his crotch and directly hit Weiss' feet behind him!
After getting rid of two consecutive blocks, Chu Zhongtian ran to the front of Weiss. Weiss passed the ball over. This time he did not miss the ball, but caught the ball. With his back to the attacking direction, he swept the ball directly to the middle. At this time, Sana rushed up, but Sana did not catch the ball, but missed the ball to Salihovic.
Salihovic was not on the wing, but appeared in the ribs. After receiving the ball, he pushed the ball with his right foot and inserted it directly. On the wing, the left defender Kolarov inserted it at high speed!
This is Hoffenheim's fast attack, not a simple long pass and rush. Instead, it gives the opponent a feeling that he can't keep up with the rhythm through a series of very fast and unexpected passes and cuts.
Hoffenheim's fast is not the kind of fast in the absolute sense, but the relatively fast feeling. Combining passing and dribbling gives people the feeling that they cannot understand their rhythm.
When Kolarov received the ball, he had already entered Bayern Munich's penalty area!
"Korarov!!" the commentator exclaimed. Just one minute into the game, Hoffenheim's first attack actually made it surprising. You must know that Bayern Munich was a team that reached the Champions League final last season, and their strength was unquestionable! But such a team allowed Hoffenheim to enter the penalty area for the first attack. Generally speaking, the reason why the penalty area is called the penalty area is because it is really important. The fundamental purpose of any team's defense is not to stop the opponent's shot, but to prevent the opponent from entering the penalty area.
However, Hoffenheim entered the penalty area so easily through a series of quick passes and running positions. It is amazing!
Once he enters the penalty area, there will be more choices, and the defense will be extremely nervous and even a little panicked... Kolarov chose to pass the ball, and he passed the ball low to the goal. The pass speed is very fast, and it doesn't look like a pass, but it seems like a volleyball shot. But it is precisely such a pass that is the most difficult to deal with, because the speed is fast, and the defender may touch the football into his own goal if he is not careful during the clearing process.
In the past, Robert Carlos made great use of this cross and caused trouble for his opponents.
Kolarov's crossing also made Bayern Munich's defender a headache, while Hoffenheim's forwards couldn't care about that much. They only had one goal, which was to score the ball. As long as they could keep up with the speed, it would be an excellent opportunity.
After a summer of training, Ibisevic and Obasi can certainly keep up with this rhythm and speed.
Among the chaos, Ibisevic poked the ball first!
He felt that the football flew towards the goal, but in the end he ran out... "Oh! What a pity! What a pity! Ibissevic's shot was only a little short of, and they were only a little short of being able to lead Bayern Munich!"
Bayern Munich fans and Hoffenheim fans in the stands both sighed loudly, but Hoffenheim fans felt regretful, while Bayern Munich fans were glad to survive the disaster.
Ibisevic got up from the ground and grabbed his hair in annoyance, then gave Kolarov a thumbs up to him.
Kolarov had already run back.
"This Hoffenheim team made us feel a little different. Overall, they performed similarly to the second half of last season, but some details changed, and we immediately felt refreshed."
"Under Chu's leadership, Hoffenheim's performance is truly exciting! This is a team that is pleasing to the eye!"
Although there was no goal, many commentators threw praise to them. Hoffenheim's football is different from most teams in the German league. The football they played is exciting, full of passion and creativity. There is a very famous line in the classic movie "Forrest Gump": "Life is like a box of chocolate candies, you will never know what the next one tastes." In the eyes of Hoffenheim fans, Hoffenheim's football is also like a box of chocolate candies. You will always look forward to their performance in the next second, and may bring you a surprise that will make you enjoy for several days.
The TV broadcast did not point the camera at Ibisevic who shot and Kolarov who passed the ball, but instead gave Chu Zhongtian a very long close-up, which was enough to illustrate the problem. Although the person who showed off in this team may be the forward or the fast-speed full-back, Chu Zhongtian is the well-deserved soul.
Selihovic ran over him, and Chu Zhongtian reached out to pat Selihovic's head. This was a very simple intimate move, but it was enough to express his status in the team - the leader was talking about people like him.
※※After the game started again, Bayern Munich also showed their strong strength. They used two consecutive shots to indicate that this game would never become a one-man show for Hoffenheim.
Especially Ribery, who is working very hard to attack on the wing and create opportunities for his teammates.
This summer is unbearable for him to look back on. French football has become a joke for the whole world, and he has also suffered a lot with it. He is eager to regain his feelings and status in the new season.
Under Bayern Munich's series of offensives, Nyema made a series of wonderful saves.
In this game, he also fully demonstrated his characteristics. Nyema is not tall, only 1.8 meters tall. Compared with those giant goalkeepers who are 1.9 meters tall and close to two meters, he is not tall, so his performance is not satisfactory in controlling high-altitude balls. But like those goalkeepers who are 1.85 meters tall, he has a very sensitive second reaction, which allows them to make world-class saves. The more difficult the shot is, the more he can save.
After blocking Bayern's offensive, Hoffenheim launched another attack.
It was still Chu Zhongtian who led the ball. This time he dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. When facing the two people's defense, he made a move to pass the ball. Taking advantage of the two people's momentum in front of him, he suddenly knocked the ball through the middle of the two people, and accelerated to break through with the trend!
Van Bomel saw Chu Zhongtian breaking through his teammate so easily on the bench, and he couldn't help but pat his thigh. The substitute teammate Dimoshchuk heard the sound and turned his head to look at him, but he didn't notice that he just continued to stare at Chu Zhongtian on the court.
As midfielders, the two have been entangled in the Bundesliga for two seasons. Unfortunately, this time he was a little injured, and Van Gaal did not let him start for safety reasons. Now he can only watch his opponent perform well off the court, easily pass by his two teammates, and gallop across the territory that once belonged to him.
Can he feel good?
Obviously not.
The people who were easily passed by Chu Zhongtian were Bayern Munich's midfielders Schweinsteiger and Pranic who were started by the game.
Schweinsteiger is not an ordinary person. He performed very well in the South African World Cup and has become the backbone of the German team. He even has a scandal with Real Madrid.
But when facing Chu Zhongtian, he was still deceived.
Chu Zhongtian, who passed Schweinsteiger and Pranic, continued to dribble the ball and rushed towards Bayern Munich's penalty area. This time he faced only one of Bayern Munich's defenses.
Demikelis stood in front of Chu Zhongtian. This opponent Chu Zhongtian liked it very much. When he was playing in the Bundesliga, he liked to use Demikelis's defensive mistakes. At this year's German World Cup, Demikelis brought his "good" state to South Africa. In the match against the South Korean team, his return pass mistake made the Korean player score a goal. Although Argentina still lost the ball in the end, Demikelis's low-level mistake in the game still became the focus of everyone's attention, and he became the target of criticism. There is also a joke circulating on the Internet in China:
After Demi Kelis made a mistake, his teammates comforted him. Burdi said: "Not afraid, I have made mistakes when someone called him 'Serie A Heinze'!" Heinz nodded constantly: "My teammates often praise me as Demi Kelis from Ligue 1." Demi Kelis cried even more sadly: "I said why do others always call me Burdiso from the Bundesliga!" Maradona burst into tears silently... Chu Zhongtian had a psychological advantage in facing Demi Kelis, and no matter how fierce this person was, he would not panic.
So he didn't take the ball for a long time, but ran up to Demikalis.
When the two were very, very close, Chu Zhongtian poked gently and spread the football between Demikalis' legs. The football rolled to the center of the penalty area.
Obasi quickly inserted and grabbed Badstuber before intercepting the ball!
This time the football was rushing out by goalkeeper Craft, who was waiting for the battle.
Everyone thought Hoffenheim's attack had ended here, but he didn't expect that after Chu Zhongtian passed the ball, he did not stay in place, but continued to rush forward. The football saved by Craft made him drive him to the right!
Facing Craft who was lying on the ground and the huge empty gate behind him, what Chu Zhongtian had to do was very simple. He pushed the ball!
The football passed over and rushed to stop him, Ram, and flew straight into the empty goal!
※※※"It's so simple! In the eleventh minute, Hoffenheim took the lead!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Although Bayern Munich was aggressive before the game, Hoffenheim scored the first goal!"
"In many matches with Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim is not at a disadvantage, and it is impossible to see that this is a new team that has only been upgraded to the Bundesliga for two seasons. I think this may be the reason why they tied the opponent at the Allianz Stadium in the first match with Bayern Munich. This game gave Hoffenheim players great confidence, which directly led to them finally winning the league championship that season..."
"Chu! Chu! Chu! Chu! He has once again become the hero of the team! He is simply a veritable 'Bayern killer'! This is his first goal to score the Bayern Munich goal? The fifth! This is his fifth goal against Bayern Munich in various competitions!"
Hoffenheim fans in the stands were shouting Chu Zhongtian's name to show their love for the captain.
Chu Zhongtian, who scored the goal, put his hands behind his ears again and listened to the huge cheers, which made him feel good.
He likes to enjoy such cheers and wants to be the only protagonist on the stage. Just like at Stamford Bridge, he represented Wimbledon in the battle with Chelsea, he won the lead on the stage set up by the enemy and became the protagonist.
※※※"It's so fucking! I know!" Seeing Chu Zhongtian enjoying the cheers of the fans in the stands, Ribery on the court shook his hand angrily.
Everyone paid too much attention to Chu Zhongtian at the beginning, but they forgot Obama. When the football suddenly fell at Obama's feet, when he finished the shot, he cared too much about Obama, and instead forgot Chu Zhongtian. Hoffenheim's quick play style really made Bayern Munich players feel at a loss. After paying attention to this person, they forgot that person, paying attention to that person, and forgetting this person... As annoyed as him, Van Bomer was sitting on the bench. When he saw the football flew into his goal, he stood up from his seat excitedly, not to cheer, but because he was angry.
The others around him held their heads with their hands, which was a pity.
It was behind eleven minutes into the game, which was not easy for Bayern Munich. Especially their opponent was Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim seems to have become their nemesis, which makes many Bayern players unacceptable.
Just like Hoffenheim can't beat Werder Bremen, every game against Hoffenheim makes Bayern players uncomfortable - if you are not careful, you may lose the game. In the past, when they were dominant in the Bundesliga, they almost swept all their opponents, and such a thrilling feeling is not often there. Now they have at least twice this experience every season. Even at their home court, Hoffenheim will not let them go easily.
※※China Central Television did not broadcast this game, but there are many live broadcast websites for sports events on the Internet. Chinese netizens can see those sports events through the Internet, even if it is a warm-up match, there are broadcast signals.
So this game is not broadcast by domestic TV stations, and there are still many people on the Internet who are waiting in front of the computer at 11 o'clock in the evening to watch.
In the eleventh minute, Chu Zhongtian scored the goal, which made the entire audience very high. They excitedly announced in all the places where they could leave messages that Chu Zhongtian scored another Bayern goal!
This certainly made Bayern Munich fans very sad. But as Chinese, most of them still have to applaud Chu Zhongtian.
If someone was not very confident in the strength of his compatriots a season ago due to habitual inferiority complex and was not very confident in the strength of his compatriots, then no one has the feeling of this now.
"Lin Dan is so powerful!"
"He scored the first league goal last season, and he scored the first official game goal this season. Lin Danda is very good at starting a good start!"
"Bayern Munich is really a coffee table! Demikelis is the biggest cup on the coffee table! A low-level mistake in the World Cup, and now Chu Zhongtian has a crotch-passing pass, which is a tragedy!"
"Chu Zhongtian scored another goal... Why should I say again? If there were more Chu Zhongtian in Chinese football, why worry about not having a rise!! Alas..."
"Don't talk about the national football team!"
※※※ After celebrating the goal, Chu Zhongtian on the TV ran back with his teammates.
Bayern Munich players have been waiting for the kickoff in the middle circle.
In fact, they were used to being scored in the game against Hoffenheim. From the panic in the first game to now, they were basically able to stay calm. What they thought was how to get the score back in the remaining games and score more goals at the same time.
The game started again, and Hoffenheim fans cheered and sang and danced in the stands. They were very excited and the start was very good.
Anyone who knows the ball knows that it is better to score goals early than to score late, because the earlier the goal, the more you can get the game into your own track and rhythm. It is better to walk in the opponent's nose than to walk in the nose by the opponent, right?
Hoffenheim's current lead is equivalent to getting himself on track ahead of schedule, while Bayern Munich will chase Hoffenheim for the rest of the time while trying to find his or her own track and rhythm.
This is not very easy. Even if this team has reached the Champions League finals.
After scoring the goal, Chu Zhongtian transformed into the backbone of defense, actively running and fighting to prevent Bayern Munich from directly threatening the team's goal.
Today he was very excited as soon as he got started because he had an idea:
Last season, he led Hoffenheim to the quarterfinals and missed the Champions League final. In this case, can playing the Super Cup with Bayern Munich be regarded as a confrontation with a team with the Champions League final?
Since I can't play in the Champions League final, I can use this game as an experience in the Champions League final. It's a pity that this Bayern Munich is not the strongest... People all hope that the weaker the opponent, the better, but Chu Zhongtian hopes that the opponents are the strongest and in the best condition!
With this idea, Chu Zhongtian was particularly excited today and in good condition. Because for him, this is the Champions League final, although it is a copycat version. But his opponent is of that level, and he must do his best to test whether he can lead the team to defeat the Champions League final level team through this game. If he really enters the Champions League final, can he dream of a championship?
Chapter completed!
