In fact, Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic wanted to invite Fernandez to have a meal, but Fernandez didn't have that time. After the game with Hoffenheim, Ausserl rushed back to France overnight. So they just sent text messages to each other to say goodbye and were unable to have a meal at one time.

This battle between master and apprentice ended with the victory of the apprentice.

After the game against Ausselle, the game against Dortmund was followed. There is no need to say how much these two teams hate each other. What Hoffenheim had before the game against Dortmund last season explained everything.

However, this time Hoffenheim did not encounter the same treatment.

Although his opponent is an enemy, Rangnick has not sent all the main lineups. Now he and Hoffenheim are no longer in the small Bundesliga. Therefore, he does not have to be obsessed with being a stalemate in the league. Anyway, Hoffenheim has the advantage in the history of the confrontation between the two sides.

Since Hoffenheim defeated the last Werder Bremen, which they had never won before, Hoffenheim's entire team seemed to be liberated and no longer obsessed with a certain team.

Considering that the league is very long and the schedule has been intensive recently, Rangnick used rotation. Except for Chu Zhongtian, most other players did not make it to the starting list.

Hoffenheim, who was dubbed "Team 2" by the media, arrived in Dortmund and prepared to challenge the host.

Dortmund fans and fans think that they have a great opportunity to defeat their opponents at home, because this Hoffenheim team is not all the main players. They think they have an opportunity to take advantage of.

But they were wrong.

Hoffenheim, who let many main players rest, may not have the ability to defeat Dortmund at Westphalia Stadium, but they can at least guarantee not to lose... On October 24, Hoffenheim's away challenge to Dortmund kicked off. This game is the most popular game in this round of the league, not only because of the feud between the two teams in recent years, but also because Dortmund today seems to have escaped the slump in the previous seasons. Now they rank second in the league. Taking advantage of Mainz's two consecutive defeats, they have completed the surpassing and followed Hoffenheim closely.

Before the game, Dortmund's media shouted "Go Hoffenheim to top the league."

It can be seen how much attention everyone has paid to this game.

Although Dortmund's players and fans are full of confidence, the visiting team Hoffenheim scored first.

In the ninth minute, Obasi received an assist from Van Nistroy and scored his fifth goal in the league, which instantly cooled down the Westfaron Stadium, which was erupting like a crater.

Then the gunpowder smell became stronger in this game. Baker received a yellow card because he tripped over Japanese player Shinji Kagawa.

Then it was Gago, who pulled Barrios' jersey in the midfield and received a yellow card.

Hoffenheim players received yellow cards in succession, which made Hoffenheim fans in the stands very dissatisfied, who believed that the referee favored the home team.

Immediately afterwards, the referee proved to the fans that he was still fair... He showed a yellow card to the defender Subotic who had been ruthless in a defense.

The players on both sides were very active, with whistles constantly ringing, and the game was interrupted frequently.

Such a game is not good at all. The mercury-dumping attack that Hoffenheim is used to cannot be played. The commentator complained that this was a completely muscle strangle battle, not a football game.

In the 32nd minute, Dortmund equalized the score. The goal was Paraguayan scorer Barrios. He received an assist from Shinji Kagawa, and the goalkeeper shot. The football leaked through Nyema's armpit.

After equalizing the score, the game did not return to the right track. The two sides had more physical contact and became more intense. The fans in the stands were also fueling the fire. Every physical collision could make the fans in the stands scream excitedly.

The fifteen minutes of the halftime break did not calm down the players on both sides.

This situation became more and more serious in the second half.

As the core of the team, Chu Zhongtian was given the key care of the opponent, and the black-legged black-handed kept greeting Chu Zhongtian.

After playing in the first half, Chu Zhongtian's jersey changed color due to frequent falls. He changed his clothes during the half-time break, and changed color in less than 15 minutes in the second half.

Rangnick was very angry at Dortmund's players' actions, especially the referee's inaction. Dortmund's players violated Chu Zhongtian, at most they only had verbal warnings, and there were basically no yellow cards, let alone red cards.

But Chu Zhongtian himself didn't care. He was kicked down again and again, got up again and again, and continued to organize the offense. Of course, he also worked very hard in defense and was very weak.

In the 56th minute, he was warned by a yellow card because he knocked down the Japanese player Shinji Kagawa who was holding the ball during the game.

His yellow card made Rangnick angry, and he roared at the fourth official: "My player will be a yellow card once he fouls! Where are their players!"

Chu Zhongtian, who had violated the rules, did not step forward and friendly to pull Kagawa Shinji, but turned around and ran away coldly.

After that, everyone's physical contact became more and more. Hoffenheim players couldn't stand Dortmund's players who violated their captains so much that they didn't have a card, and their captain took the cards once they committed a foul, so they were very active.

In the end, the referee saw that the game situation was out of control, and he was powerless to do anything, so he could only play cards in vain and then play cards.

In the 68th minute, Hoffenheim went to the lead again.

This time, Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball in the middle and was stumbled by three consecutive Dortmund players and fell down at any time, but the referee still had no expression. However, Chu Zhongtian did not want the referee to roar the whistle. In such a stumble, he still controlled the football, and then passed in a very hidden way at the most critical moment, assisting Van Nisstruy to score!

2:1!

Van Nistroy was running wildly to celebrate the goal, while Chu Zhongtian put his index finger to his mouth and made a "shut-up" gesture towards the stands where Dortmund fans gathered.

Of course, he also received greater booing and insulting from fans, as well as more middle fingers.

Dortmund's players did not expect Hoffenheim, who played in the "second team" lineup, could still lead them twice at Westphalon Stadium, and were suddenly a little furious. After the game started again, the movements became bigger and bigger.

Rangnick was worried that Chu Zhongtian was kicked and injured by an increasingly angry Dortmund player, so he quickly replaced him.

When Chu Zhongtian was over, he did not forget to provoke Dortmund's fans and players who retaliate against Dortmund. He did not trot all the way, but deliberately walked down slowly.

Who said he was not angry when facing those invasions? He just kept holding on and found a suitable opportunity to vent. Now the opportunity has made him find - Dortmund, who is behind, of course, hopes that the more time the better, so that they will have the opportunity to equalize the score or even win the game. But Chu Zhongtian did this clearly a waste of time!

Someone protested to the referee, while others simply pushed Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian did not resist, leaned back, and simply pressed almost all the center of gravity on the opponent's players, and then asked the opponent to push him away. He also wanted to use this method to waste the opponent's physical fitness... And seeing Chu Zhongtian walking so slowly, the Dortmund fans in the stands made deafening booing.

Finally, Chu Zhongtian walked down, and the booing slowed down. However, the bond between Chu Zhongtian and Dortmund fans was obviously getting bigger and bigger.

The smell of gunpowder in the game did not weaken with Chu Zhongtian's fate.

In the 80th minute, Hlosek was directly shown a red card for a retaliatory foul on Antonio da Silva!

This penalty once again aroused the dissatisfaction of Rangnick and Hoffenheim players. The players on both sides even had a conflict on the court, pushing and yelling at each other.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Dortmund launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's hinterland. Hoffenheim, who lost Chu Zhongtian, finally lost, and let Da Silva equalize the score in the 90th minute.

In the end, the fierce battle ended with a 2:2 draw.

But the aftermath of this game is far from over. After the game, Rangnick slammed the referee of the game at a press conference, believing that he favored the home team. Dortmund's media were also dissatisfied. In the report on the next day, they criticized Chu Zhongtian for his actions when he was "immoral" and "no sports spirit". This approach was intentionally delaying time. The referee should chase after him and give Chu Zhongtian a yellow card, because Chu Zhongtian had been

There was a yellow card, so he would be sent off with a red card. But the referee did not do so. Dortmund media even revealed that the Dortmund club intends to appeal the matter to the referee committee of the league, and that Chu Zhongtian must pay the price for his immoral behavior. Sinsheim's media brought up old accounts and said who turned a blind eye to the harassment incident the night before the game day? To be immoral, such a thing is much more immoral than Chu Zhongtian's end.

As the party involved, Chu Zhongtian defended his behavior: "I didn't deliberately delay the game. I was tired and could not run before I got off the field. I think as long as I was not very, very slow, no one has the right to talk about my actions. Other players can get off the field, but I also have the right to get off the field. Germany is a democratic and free country. Do I have no right to get off the field?"

His words have risen to a political level. Does anyone dare to say that he cannot? If you dare to say something, you will not be democratic and free, and you will not be universally valuable.

"Besides, the rules of football do not say that you can't get out of the game. I believe the referee can see whether he has not played cards, it means I have not delayed the game."

The reporter asked him: "But when you left the game, the fans booed loudly, and they were very dissatisfied with your approach of delaying the game..."

Chu Zhongtian interrupted him and said: "You can't judge whether I'm doing something wrong based on the reactions of the fans. If fans hate someone, no matter what he does, it's wrong. Do the referees also listen to them? Since the referees cannot make a penalty based on the broadcast screen of the game, it is even more impossible for the referee to make a penalty based on the reactions of the fans."

It's okay for him to say this, and the reporters couldn't find anything to question or refute.

In fact, everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian was deliberately delaying time, but he handled this very well, which not only delayed time, but also did not let everyone catch any obvious handle. Therefore, even the referee did not show him a yellow card at that time.

Now that he said this, it can only make Dortmund's media and fans hate him even more. But who cares about their thoughts? Why does Chu Zhongtian take care of the enemy's feelings? Shouldn't it be better to make the enemy more uncomfortable, frustrated, displeased and angry?

※※After the match against Dortmund, Hoffenheim continued to dominate the league, and Dortmund could only rank second.

After playing against Dortmund, Hoffenheim ushered in the second round of the German Cup. During this period, Hoffenheim has been playing double games for a week, so Rangnick will risk losing in the game against his arch-enemy to use rotation.

In the second round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim's opponent was Ingelstadt, the team in the Bundesliga.

They played at home, which was a waste of running back and forth, because Hoffenheim also played at home in the weekend league.

Rangnick still did not let all the main players, and he could not make use of all the main players when playing for a German second-tier team. Rangnick continued the main team between the team and Dortmund, but the team easily won 3:0 at his home court.

Chu Zhongtian played all ninety minutes of the game, without any goals or assists, but his presence ensured that Hoffenheim could defeat his opponent three goals.

After defeating Ingelstadt, Hoffenheim advanced to the third round of the German Cup, which was the quarter-finals.

Then on the weekend, the team welcomed Hannover 96 at their home court, their opponent in the tenth round of the league.

Their match with Hannover 96 was the last league game of the round. Before that, Dortmund defeated Mainz 2-0 away, surpassing Hoffenheim and temporarily ranked first in the league. If Hoffenheim loses to Hannover at home, they will not be temporary.

But the chance of this is too small. Even the Dortmunds themselves know it.

This is true, Hannover 96 never thought of winning three points here. Their players and head coaches were very low-key when they were interviewed before the game.

Hoffenheim is in good shape at present, and they are even considered the favorites of the Bundesliga championship this season. People in Hannover do not think they can win such a big favorite.

In this game, Rangnick sent all the main players. He hoped to score early to end the game, so that the main players could go down and rest.

But things didn't go as expected. Although the opponent's midfielder Manuel had two yellow cards in the first twenty minutes of the game, Hoffenheim's goal was delayed.

The number of people is at a disadvantage and the strength itself is not superior, so the Hannover 96 people simply retracted back to their own penalty area and could not defend it.

In the game against Ausselle, Hoffenheim also faced the situation where the opponent contracted its defense. However, Ausselle still wanted to attack and had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Hannover 96 simply defended the dead and did not fight back, and did not give Hoffenheim a slight gap.

Such a game made Hoffenheim very difficult.

During the break, Rangnick readjusted his tactics and asked the players to launch a fierce attack as soon as the ball kicked in the second half, scoring a goal when the opponent was not firmly in his foothold and dragging the score back to the track they were used to.

This is also the rule of football matches. Generally, the five minutes at the beginning of the game and the five minutes before the end of the game are the time periods when players are least focused and the most likely to make mistakes, so they are also the easiest to score goals. Many goals occur at this time. This is statistically supported and based on data. It is not nonsense.

Therefore, the second half of Hoffenheim and Hannover confirmed this "law". Just as the kick-off was launched, Hoffenheim played a typical blitzkrieg, with Chu Zhongtian launching the offensive, Salihovic passed, and Van Nistrui headed the ball.

After taking the lead, the game will be much easier. Even if Hannover 96 defends to the death, he can only defend a 0:1 defeat. If you push it out and attack, you may still have hope of scoring and equalizing the score. Many teams will think this first when facing this situation, rather than "loss less and win".

Hoffenheim is least afraid of others fighting against him. With their current state, it is probably Barcelona fighting against them, and they have the confidence to kill him.

Hannover 96 came out to attack, and the game was good, with goals appearing one after another.

In the 51st minute, Quaresma cut inside at the front of the penalty area and then made a fake move to shoot. He broke into the penalty area and tripped. The referee gave Hoffenheim a penalty kick.

Salihovic took the penalty and easily scored the penalty - 2:0.

In the 58th minute, Ibisevic scored the team's third goal, 3:0! He shot a long shot from 18 meters away from the goal, and the football flew into a dead corner, and the goalkeeper was out of reach.

In the 63rd minute, Hoffenheim got a corner kick opportunity. Central defender Comper grabbed the spot in front of the goal and shook his head to push the ball into the goal of Hannover 96, 4:0!

In the 71st minute, Chu Zhongtian added icing on the cake to the team and scored the fifth goal. This was a signature Chu Zhongtian goal - his Greater China cannon sounded again!

Chu Zhongtian's goal puts a sentence for this game. Hoffenheim defeated Hannover 5-0 at his home court. Hoffenheim's terrifying strong attack power has performed outstandingly this season. So far, in the ten league rounds, whether it is victory or draw, Hoffenheim scored at least two goals in each game. They beat Werder Bremen 5-1 in the first round of the league, followed by two 3-0 clean and neat victory over opponents St. Pauli and Schalke 04. Even if they were tied by Kaiserslautern and Dortmund, they were 2-2 in two games, defeating Bayern Munich was 2-1, defeating Cologne and Borussia Mönchengladbach were 3-0, and defeating the then leader Mainz was 4-2.

With such attack power, it is difficult for Hoffenheim to not win.

However, this is quite in line with what Hoffenheim sings: offense! offense! offense studies will always flow!

In Hoffenheim's team, offense is their blood, and people cannot survive without blood. If Hoffenheim loses the offense, it is not Hoffenheim...
Chapter completed!
