The game with Bayern Munich is a thing of the past, and nothing can ensure their promotion except for two away goals. The Hoffenheim players' lives are the same as usual - training.

Except for the obvious increase in journalists outside the training base, there is no difference.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian personally thinks that losing away in the first leg is better than winning away in the first leg, which will make his teammates always be vigilant and will not be complacent because of the victory in the first leg. The phenomenon of being arrogant and underestimating the enemy before the first leg is not seen in the current team.

No one wants to trip over the same stone twice.

Before the second leg of Bayern Munich, there is a derby in Baden-Futengburg State.

Rangnick did not intend to give up this game, so he sent all the main players to play, but the result was not satisfactory. At his home court, Hoffenheim allowed Stuttgart to tie.

The score is 2:2, and Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic each scored one goal.

In another game, Bayern Munich beat Schalke 04 3:1 at home. Now Bayern Munich's points are the same as Hoffenheim, but because of the disadvantage of goal difference, it ranks third.

In terms of goal difference ranking, Hoffenheim ranked first, suppressing Dortmund with two goal difference advantages, but this is useless. Dortmund has basically won the championship ahead of schedule. They are now leading second place Hoffenheim and third place Bayern Munich, and will win the championship as long as they don’t lose in the next round. Dortmund’s performance this season is really excellent. Although the performance in the second half of the season is a bit ups and downs, the lead laid in the first half of the season is too great, and it is difficult for those behind to chase it.

After the derby battle with Stuttgart, Hoffenheim's center of gravity quickly shifted to the Champions League match.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals between the two sides will be held on the evening of May 4th, which is the last Champions League semi-finals.

In another Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid played 1:1 with Barcelona at home, and the situation was not optimistic.

Many people believe that Mourinho's team may have to wait for a season to challenge Barcelona's dominance.

The dispute between Real Madrid and Barcelona cannot be spread from Germany.

In Sinsheim, Chu Zhongtian is also studying the video of Bayern Munich's game while training every day. Although he has played against Bayern Munich no less than six times, he still wants to know more about this familiar opponent. This is not what Rangnick asked, it is what he did himself.

In fact, over the past few years of career, he has gradually fallen in love with watching game videos, watching opponents, and watching his own. Few players like to do this, and this is usually what coaches do.

Most players leave the training ground and the football field and are like they get off work. They can do whatever they want, but they don’t get in touch with football-related things. They will go out to bars, go to nightclubs to find beautiful ladies, go shopping wildly, play tennis, go golf or go to watch an NBA. Chu Zhongtian’s spare time is not as rich as them. In addition to dealing with his own business, he just stays at home to watch everything related to football. In addition to studying the video of his own game with his opponents, his TV is always locked on channels where football matches are broadcast. He also watches other teams and other league games, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1... and even the Dutch Eredivisie, Portuguese Super League, and the English Championship.

This is really a football maniac. He has no other interests except football.

Many people have that feeling - once they treat what they like as a profession, they will feel bored and they no longer like what they originally like. In Chu Zhongtian, this situation has never happened. He likes football, and even as a professional player, he has never been bored with football.

At first, everyone invited the captain to drink, go to nightclubs, go shopping and go shopping... Later, after I found out that he didn't like these, no one did this.

He has been married to Emily for almost a year and has never had any scandals. Although he likes him and wants to sleep with a lot of women, he can never find anything like Ribery around him. For Mathilde, the media lost the interest in guessing that she had a ties with Chu Zhongtian when they saw her appearance. They believed that Chu Zhongtian herself would not be interested.

※※※The match with Bayern Munich is imminent, and Hoffenheim's training has achieved its goal. The last day's training is mainly about relaxation training and set-piece tactics drills. The training stage gave the media fifteen minutes of shooting time. During this period, the team has only some very ordinary training in addition to running the lap. Of course, if there is real content, no one can know.

In fact, there is nothing to guess about Hoffenheim's tactics. Over the years, they have always focused on offense. No matter what game they play, they are offense. There are few times when they shrink and fight back. They have played several times in this Champions League, and they have only used it at a certain stage of the game and have never insisted on the whole game.

The specific method for attack is to use Chu Zhongtian as the fulcrum and the two sides as the main offensive routes. Ibissevic, Obasi and Van Nistroy can pull to the side to support, and can also follow up the forwards who are circumventing points in the middle. When they fight on the side, their threat will increase exponentially.

For the past two seasons, Rangnick's team has insisted on this style of play. As long as Chu Zhongtian and most of the players perform normally, the team will be invincible.

Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian was in an amazing state this season. He seemed to have reached a blowout period in his career. He scored many goals and assists, and performed well in both offense and defense.

He has scored seventeen goals in the league, only one goal away from the team's top scorer Ibissevic. At the same time, 14 assists also ranked first in the Bundesliga assist list, fourteen assists, leading the second place four times. Not only in the domestic arena, but also in the Champions League, he is also the only one. It is hard to imagine a Chinese player who can rank first in the Champions League double list, right? The assist list has six assists and the scorer list has nine goals first.

This performance is first-class in the entire European football world.

Rangnick is now very glad that he asked his boss to leave Chu Zhongtian at all costs before this season, otherwise Hoffenheim would definitely not have the glory he has today.

After the last day of training, Chu Zhongtian surrounded the fans and media outside the training ground. The fans asked him for autographs, while the media was waiting to interview him.

While satisfying the fans' signatures, he was already able to handle it easily.

"What do you think about tomorrow's game, Chu?" the reporters asked.

"Of course we are trying to win and advance to the finals." Chu Zhongtian signed two postcards of his own and one of his star cards, and then gave the fans a smile before answering the reporters' questions.

"In the first leg you had two away goals, will this be a factor in your favor?"

"No." Chu Zhongtian shook his head. "Any factor that is good for us is just that. If we lose our calmness and patience because of these two away goals, the final loss will make us. We know that Bayern Munich has been forced to a dead end, so tomorrow's game will definitely not be easy."

"In other words, you already have enough estimates of the difficulties?" A Chinese reporter rushed over and asked a question.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Yes, we always imagine the game difficult."

"So do you have anything to say to tens of millions of Chinese fans?"

"See you, Wembley!" Chu Zhongtian pointed to the reporter.

After Chu Zhongtian left, Chinese journalists gathered to chat.

"It's really our blessing to have Chu Zhongtian in China!"

"This kind of confidence is rarely seen from Chinese players..."

"Yes, yes, these few seasons outside have made him stronger!"

"To be honest, I am excited whenever I think about the fact that there will be a Chinese player standing on the top European football field at that time!"

"And they are the first in the scorer list and the first in the assist list, haha!"

※※※"Chu Zhongtian meets with Chinese fans Wembley!"

"Huocun's core passion is full of passion and vows to enter the finals!"

The next morning in Beijing time, news with titles like this appeared in the sports version of major portals.

There are more than ten hours left before the game begins, but Chinese fans are already eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the game. On major Weibo websites, Weibo with the keywords "Chu Zhongtian" and "Champions League" quickly broke through the one million mark.

Now in China, anything related to Chu Zhongtian will attract everyone's attention, so many international manufacturers hope to sign contracts for endorsement products with Chu Zhongtian. He has a healthy image, outstanding strength, and a good appearance. Whether it is a school boy or a girl or an adult boy who has already worked, there is a market.

Men like to watch him play football, while women are fascinated by his image. Even if they are married, there are many women who fantasize about being able to play with him... Chu Zhongtian is the first star in Chinese football in so many years who truly has both "idol" and "strength".

Whether he can lead the team to the Champions League final and become the first Chinese player to stand in the Champions League final will naturally touch everyone's hearts.

※※※On the other hand, Bayern Munich fans are also looking forward to Bayern Munich being able to complete the reversal, win away the away game, and successfully reach the final.

"Although the two away goals are a bit troublesome, we are the leader in the overall score. What reason do we have to be afraid of Hoffenheim?" Bayern Munich fans left messages on the club's official website, encouraging the players.

"We have reached the Champions League final for two consecutive times! We must win the championship this time!"

"But Robben's injury..."

Someone said this and immediately attracted a lot of replies.

Everyone is worried about Robben's injury. If Bayern Munich is in any way badly in the second leg, it would be a bad situation when he played away and scored two goals by the opponent. The biggest difficulty is Robben's injury.

In the first round, Robben and Chu Zhongtian collided and ended up injured. After the game, the media in Munich criticized the referee for being blinded and turned a blind eye to such an obvious foul in the penalty area. It was obvious that Chu Zhongtian should be given a yellow card and then a penalty kick to Bayern Munich.

If you give a penalty, it is hard to say what the score of that game will be.

Of course, some media also went to ask Chu Zhongtian and Rangnick if there was any problem with the ball. Rangnick said that he was far away and did not see clearly what happened, so it was not convenient to express his opinion on the referee's penalty. Chu Zhongtian said firmly that he did not commit a foul.

Because of this injury, Robben did not even participate in the league. He has been actively recovering from his injuries, hoping to catch up with the second leg of the game against Hoffenheim.

The news from Bayern Munich is also a bit confusing. He said that Robben was seriously injured and was afraid that he would say goodbye to this season in advance. He said that it was fine and he would be cured for two weeks. Some people said that Robben's injury was very mild and he had resumed training and should be able to catch up with the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals last week with Hoffenheim.

Of course, this can be seen as a smoke bomb deliberately cast by Van Gaal. However, Hoffenheim was not fooled, which made the fans who care about Bayern Munich a little at a loss, not knowing which one was the real news.

Rangnick doesn't care what is the real news or what is fake. He only prepares for the most powerful Bayern Munich.

Last season, Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home in the first leg. Rooney was injured in the game. Before the second leg, Manchester United had always claimed that Rooney was seriously injured and could not catch up with the second leg. Even Ferguson admitted that Rooney would definitely not be able to play.

He successfully deceived everyone, including his opponent. As a result, Rooney started in the second round, caught Bayern Munich off guard. Facing the lively Rooney, Bayern Munich's performance was very panicked. In the seven minutes of the game, Manchester United scored two goals in a row, and scored 2:0, and the total score became Manchester United 3:2. In the 41st minute, Manchester United scored twice, setting the total score to 4:2. Fortunately, Olic scored a goal for the team in the 43rd minute, otherwise Bayern Munich really didn't know how to play in the second half.

In the end, Bayern Munich's calmness and Robben's outstanding performance saved themselves. Robben's goal in the 74th minute helped the team equalize the total score, and at the same time, there was one more away goals than Manchester United.

Rooney was replaced by Osheim in the 55th minute because of his injury.

Rangnick didn't know if Van Gaal would learn this trick from Ferguson, and this possibility is very high. After all, the current situation in Bayern Munich is not optimistic, and they need to do their best and give it a try.

Robben is indeed a trump card in Van Gaal's hand, and it's impossible for him not to use it?

※※When Bayern Munich arrived in Hoffenheim, everyone clearly saw Robben from the bus through the news media.

He did appear on the roster, and it seems that the news that he will be out for a long time is smoke bombs!

Ribery sat next to Robben, both of them looking at the reporters outside the window, and many of them had surprised expressions on their faces.

"You scared them, Alger." Ribery smiled.

Robben frowned and did not answer.

In fact, his foot injury was not completely cured, but he took the initiative to ask for participation in the game. Van Gaal had a private conversation with him for half an hour and finally agreed to his request.

He knew the price of playing in a closed game, but he had to play in this game. Last year, his teammate Sneider, who transferred from Real Madrid to Inter Milan, won the Champions League, and came from Real Madrid to Bayern, but got nothing. He was unwilling to give up.

For the Champions League championship, it is not hesitant to play the closure!

Robben turned his head back.

Now it's time for Hoffenheim to have a headache to prevent himself.

※※※ "Roben appeared on the 18-man roster!" Ibisevic, who was in the same room, was a little surprised. He and Chu Zhongtian were watching the sports news at night.

Chu Zhongtian next to him was not surprised at all. He would be surprised if Robben didn't show up.

In such an important game, if he was injured, he would probably have strongly asked to play. Robben is a person who is eager for honor, just like him. This can be seen from last year's World Cup. Robben had a broken arm before the World Cup. Everyone thought he would withdraw from the World Cup, but he did not expect that after the operation, he would return to the team quickly and appear in the World Cup on behalf of the Netherlands without fully recovering. The Dutch team's ability to finally reach the final is inseparable from his and Sneijder's wonderful performance.

As a result, he did not win any other championships with enough weight in the past year except for the German domestic champions. He lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League final and to Spain in the World Cup final. Therefore, he has a strong desire for championships this season. Bayern Munich has not achieved good results in the domestic league and cup competition this season, and there is no hope for winning the championship. All his hopes are placed on the Champions League. Now he is just one step away from going to Wembley, how could he give up?

If you put your heart in his position, you will never give up even if you change yourself to his position.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian was not surprised by Robben's appearance.

The only doubt is how much ability Robben, who has not healed in his injury, can play... But no matter what, no matter whether Robben is or not, it cannot be changed a little - Hoffenheim must go to Wembley.

Robben, who is in a healthy state and can't stop Hoffenheim from playing at home. This time they will not be able to think about it even more.

"What's so surprising? Whether he plays or not is the same as a result - we go to Wembley and they go back to Munich."

Chu Zhongtian replied, getting up from the bed and going to wash.

"There will be a game tomorrow, so take a break early, Ibi."

Ibisevic looked at him and turned his eyes to the TV screen. Robben's camera passed, and the host is now analyzing the probability that Robben might play.

He felt that Chu Zhongtian was right. Could it be that Robben might have any impact on us when he was not healed because he was injured. He turned off the TV and followed Chu Zhongtian to the bathroom to wash.
Chapter completed!
