After playing the league with Hannover, Hoffenheim will set off for France to challenge Auxerre, which is the fourth game of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Hoffenheim led the remaining power to defeat Hannover 96 at his 5-0 home court and rushed to Ausserl.

This game was not as easy as they thought before. Ausserl burst out with amazing energy at his home court, and they knew very well that if they continued to lose, the Champions League this season would end. Not only that, even the Europa League qualification was gone.

The first goal was the home team Ausselle, who took the lead in the ninth minute with frederic_sammaritano.

After leading, Ausselle continued to play their defensive counterattacks. Although they were all defensive counterattacks, their mentality is now different from that of Hoffenheim's home game.

Today's Auxerre players seem confident because they are ahead, and they also feel safe.

However, Hoffenheim players did not expect that they would fall behind at the beginning, and they played a little impatiently in the following game, and they would not have seen the smooth offensive cooperation before.

Although Chu Zhongtian wanted his teammates to calm his mind, he was powerless. He could only watch his teammates not continue to cooperate after receiving his pass, but instead shot at the kick. Such an offense depends entirely on luck. If he is lucky, he will miss opportunities again and again, and at the same time squandering his already pitiful patience and fighting spirit. At the same time, such a blind attack made the team have problems in defense. Everyone rushed up to attack. Who will block the loopholes in the defense line? If Ausserl caught and fought back, it will be done.

Fortunately, Ausselle focused all his attention on defense and did not pose any threat to the Hoffenheim defense line, which was full of loopholes. However, Rangnick was still very dissatisfied off the court, and he kept roaring at the court.

At the halftime break, the score was still 1:0, with the home team Auxerre leading.

In the locker room, Rangnick scolded his players for being so bloody. He rarely trained people like this, but this time he saw that his players could not control themselves and lost their calmness, so he had to get really angry.

"Why are you playing in the Champions League with such a performance? Let's go home in the group stage! Even if we qualify for the group stage, we will not go far!"

After Rangnick scolded, he asked the players to remain calm in the second half and kick out their style. As it turned out, Ausser's defense could not actually defend Hoffenheim's offensive.

In the second half, Hoffenheim's offense, who finally calmed down, began to improve, and he was no longer alone.

Aussel also felt that Hoffenheim's offense had changed, becoming more organized and threatening, making them vaguely feel like they were visiting the Rhine-Neka Stadium.

The attack is orderly, and it depends on your luck.

In the 64th minute, Hoffenheim used a series of cooperation at the front of the opponent's penalty area to send out the last pass. Van Nystrue, who started in this game, understood it and inserted into the penalty area diagonally. He received Chu Zhongtian's ball in the penalty area, then turned around and shot. The football flew into the net from the hand of Aussel goalkeeper Thorin, and Hoffenheim tied the score!

At the same time, this is also Van Nistroy's 61st Champions League goal.

This ball made Ausselle's defense line that had been held for more than 50 minutes began to collapse.

For Ausselle, if they cannot get three points from Hoffenheim, who is closest to their strength in the group, they will fail. Even if they score a single point, they will not be qualified. So the draw is meaningless to them.

So they cannot stick to the defensive counterattack and must come out to attack.

Now the game has returned to the most familiar track of Hoffenheim, just like the last game.

Ausselle, who came out to attack, did not score the second goal for himself, but Hoffenheim seized the opportunity and scored the second goal.

In the 85th minute, while Ausser's heavy pressure on the attack, Chu Zhongtian cut off Pedreti's ball in the backcourt and saw Ibisek in front of him with a quick look. He made a long pass and the football landed accurately in front of Ibisek. He didn't need to slow down and directly sent the football forward with his feet, and then entered the penalty area.

Ibisevic, who entered the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper Thorin, and pushed the ball into the far corner. The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal, 2:1!

Hoffenheim completed the reversal and won the game.

Ausselle, who lost all four games, has completely lost hope of qualifying in the group. Not only that, they even have only theoretical possibility of competing for third place in the group.

After seven years, he entered the Champions League again. Before Ausserl had time to leave something, he was about to say goodbye to this stage.

After the loss, Aussel's players were very frustrated, while Fernandez was comforting his teammates one by one.

It's okay to be eliminated, at least they can focus all their attention in the league, so as not to be in a row and be in the bottom line like now. The Champions League is just a benefit, and the league is the foundation.

Chu Zhongtian was celebrating the victory with his teammates. They were thanking the fans who came from afar to follow the team. After thanking the fans, he turned around and prepared to leave. At this time, he saw the back of Fernandez who were comforting the players one by one.

His hard work eliminated his mentor. Although he had always said that going all out to the competition was a reward for his teacher. But now, looking at the old coach's back, he still felt a little guilty.

On the way back, Chu Zhongtian sent a text message to his mentor Fernandez, expressing his apology and regret for Ausselle's fate.

Fernandez's reply was simple: "It's okay, it's something they have to go through. Wish you go further in the Champions League, Chu."

※※※While Hoffenheim beat Auxerre away, AC Milan's home match against Real Madrid was also over. Although AC Milan was home court before the game, everyone was optimistic about Real Madrid. For AC Milan, this is really an insult.

But who made them not in good condition at the moment? He lost the first leg of the game against Real Madrid and lost the key game against Juventus. Allegri seemed to be in a bad position for a while.

This game can't be lost anyway.

Although AC Milan worked very hard in the game, Real Madrid still easily gained the upper hand, and they scored a goal. Higuain scored the first record for Real Madrid at the end of the first half, which also allowed Real Madrid to return to the lounge with a calm mood.

In the second half, Allegri finally figured it out and sent Inzagi, the striker Mourinho has always been most afraid of. This game also has a very special significance for Inzagi. Inzagi currently has 68 total goals in the European game, second only to Raul, who scored 69 goals. If he can win something in this game, he will tie Raul, or even surpass him and take the lead.

This substitution quickly achieved results. Because of Pepe's mistake in defense, Ibrahimovic successfully broke through, and then shot. Casillas made a mistake in judgment and saved the ball. Inzagi, who followed up, seized the opportunity keenly and pushed the ball into the goal with his head. 1:1! He not only helped AC Milan equalize the score, but also scored his 69th European total goal, tying a legendary Raul!

After scoring the goal, Inzaghi was very excited and took out the prepared AC Milan jersey with his name and the words "69" printed to show it to the fans.

In the 78th minute, Inzaji scored twice and scored a very typical goal of his - receiving the ball in an offside position, then scoring the goal, scoring his 70th European goal. With this goal, he also surpassed Raul and became the first person to score in total European goals.

Although the ball was offside, neither the referee nor the lineman made any statement, and the Real Madrid players' protests were invalid.

But he was originally in the lead but now he suddenly fell behind, and Real Madrid became anxious.

Mourinho made a key substitution, and he replaced Pedro Leon.

As a result, in the 90th minute, Pedro Leon received a wonderful pass from Benzema and scored a goal to equalize the score. This goal not only kept Real Madrid unbeaten, but also scored AC Milan in a very unfavorable situation. Looking at Pedro Leon's goal, he was still commanding his teammates on the sidelines just now, Gattuso, who looked more like a head coach, was also a little lost and he was silent.

In the end, Real Madrid tied AC Milan at San Siro Stadium. After four games, three wins and one draw, with a total of ten, and they basically qualified early.

After Hoffenheim lost to Real Madrid in the first game, they won three consecutive victories, currently 9 points, ranking behind Real Madrid.

AC Milan has won one win, draw and two losses, and has only accumulated four points, and the prospect of qualifying in the group is worrying.

Ausselle lost all four games and had zero points, and there was no hope of qualifying.

The current situation is that Real Madrid is the most favorable. With two rounds left in the group stage, they have already qualified in advance. Even if they lose in the last two rounds, their ten points can guarantee qualifying. Their opponents in the last two rounds are Ausserl and Hoffenheim. Even if these two teams each take three points, it will not affect their qualifying trend. Even if Ausserl wins the ball, he will not be able to qualify. The change in Hoffenheim's winning goal is just the difference between who is first in the group and who is second in the group. Even if AC Milan wins all the last two rounds, and they accumulate tens of tens like Real Madrid, they will lose in the relationship between the winner and lose. The relationship between the winner and losers with Real Madrid is one loss and one draw, and they are at a disadvantage. They cannot beat Real Madrid in ranking and can only play the knockout stage of the Europa League as the third in the group.

Although they are only one point away from Real Madrid, Hoffenheim cannot be said to have advanced ahead of schedule. Because the remaining two group games are the most difficult to play - on November 23, Real Madrid is in good shape at home, and on December 8, he will play AC Milan away. Teams like Real Madrid can only draw away, and Hoffenheim will be even more dangerous. If they lose all the last two group games and AC Milan can win two consecutive victories, then AC Milan will surpass Hoffenheim. At that time, AC Milan will have ten points, and Hoffenheim will still have nine points. AC Milan is ranked second in the group to advance to the knockout stage, and Hoffenheim can only play in the Europa League. Therefore, in the remaining two group games, Hoffenheim will have to fight as the finals in each game to have a chance. We cannot relax our vigilance because the current situation is very good.

The situation in AC Milan is very simple, it is to desperately win the last two group matches, get six points, and then look at other competitors - mainly Hoffenheim's performance. Apart from winning, they don't need to move any other thoughts, and it's useless to move.

Needless to say, Ausselle is just a tragedy. They are completely here to play in the Champions League this season. They lost all four games, and even if they win all the next two games, they will not be able to qualify in the group.

Therefore, the competition for the right to qualify in this group is mainly concentrated between Hoffenheim and AC Milan. Real Madrid and Ausselle are both restless. Real Madrid is restless when they appear, while Ausselle is out.

※※After playing against Ausselle, Hoffenheim returned to China. After two days of rest at Sinsheim, they rushed to Hamburg, a northern German city, to challenge the Hamburg team there. This is the 11th round of the Bundesliga.

In the end, Hoffenheim defeated Hamburg 3-1 away, with Ibissevic, Simunic and Sana each scoring a goal, while Chu Zhongtian assisted.

However, they also paid a heavy price - Gago, who replaced Sana in this game, was injured in the game and replaced in advance. After the game, he was checked and was strapped for two to three weeks after the game.

In this way, Chu Zhongtian and Sana's substitutes will be the immature Zukulini.

In addition to Gago's injury, Salihovic will also be automatically suspended for one game in the next round of the league due to accumulating yellow cards.

But the good news is that Helosek, who was sent off with a red card in the game against Dortmund, has already passed his suspension period and can be played in the next round of the league.

Rangnick decided to shift all the focus of his work to the Champions League group stage. Although they currently rank second with nine points, they have analyzed it before. Their situation is not necessarily very good. The last two group matches are the key battles that determine their fate!

In order to ensure the group qualifying, Rangnick was willing to give up the league. The training content during this period was aimed at Real Madrid - this is the first opponent they have to face, and I am afraid it is also the most difficult opponent.

The styles and characteristics of the two teams are very similar, but whether in terms of the players' personal abilities or the overall strength of the team, Real Madrid is above Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim lost to Real Madrid away. Does this mean they are qualified to ask for more at home?

That's what Rangnick thinks.

He hopes to beat Real Madrid at home.

It’s not that he is arrogant, but that he has no choice. This is the last home court and the only advantage they have left. If they don’t have the determination and courage to pursue victory at their home court, then even if they qualify in the group, they will not be able to go further.

Before training began, Rangnick told his players: "Before this game, think about the game we played against Inter last season. We can win the championship 3:1 at our home court!"

Rangnick kept cheering the players and not being timid.

Chu Zhongtian also kept instilling the idea of ​​"we must do it" in his teammates in the locker room.

No matter what the final result of this game is, at least the team must have the idea of ​​"winning". If you don't even have this idea, you won't have to play the game anymore. Hoffenheim will definitely have no chance.

Because they cared too much about the Champions League, they gave up the league. As a result, Hoffenheim lost 0:1 in the 12th round of the league in the home match against Freiburg. This was their first defeat in the new season, and the record of unbeaten in the 11 rounds of the league this season ended. From the 27th round of the league last season to the current 19th round of the league unbeaten, it has come to an end.

Losing the game left Hoffenheim's ranking second, while Dortmund relied on defeating Hamburg 2-0 at home and rose to first place.

However, the two teams are only one point apart, and Hoffenheim can be said to be just temporarily behind.

On November 20th, in the 13th round of the league, Hoffenheim challenged Frankfurt away.

This game was used by Rangnick as a warm-up match against Real Madrid at home, and it was used to warm up the players in the form.

So he sent all the main force.

Chu Zhongtian led Ibisevic, Sana, Salihovic and other players and defeated Frankfurt away.

4:0!

Chu Zhongtian scored the first record for the team, and in the 31st minute he used a corner kick opportunity to head the ball in front of the goal. This is also his eighth league goal this season, plus three goals in the Champions League, he has now scored eleven goals.

But he was not the focus of this game. The focus of this game was Ibisevic, who scored a hat trick in the subsequent games!

In the 69th minute, the 70th minute, the 80th minute, Ibisekic scored three goals in a row within 11 minutes, completing a hat-trick, and also helped Hoffenheim completely secure the victory.

Although this is far from the fastest hat-trick in Bundesliga history, it is still amazing. Ibisevic completed his tenth league goal of the season with this hat-trick.

After scoring ten goals in the thirteen rounds of the league, people seemed to vaguely see the crazy "super Ibi" of the 2008-2009 season.

Ibisevic, who completed a hat-trick after the game, was sought after by the media.

The cry of "Super Ibi" sounded again.

Rangnick was also very happy, but he was not only happy with Ibisevic's hat trick, but also the team's overall performance in the game against Frankfurt. He saw that the players were in good shape and were not injured, which was very helpful for their home victory over Real Madrid - of course, it is not known whether they can defeat Real Madrid, but this state obviously made them feel confident and fighting spirit.

On November 23, Hoffenheim is ready to face Real Madrid at home.
Chapter completed!
