The locker room was messy, and the players who came in threw their clothes off to the ground casually, and some people kicked off their shoes directly. After forty-five minutes of full-time game, they just wanted to give themselves some rest and relax. The 45 minutes of the second half were not easy.

When everyone came in, they were still talking about the first half that had just ended. The Champions League final brought them a lot of fresh feelings, and they had to communicate during the halftime break.

"Barcelona is indeed quite strong, but we are not weak either!"

"If Chu's ball is in, that's great. We'll lead to the intermission..."

"Yes, yes... I don't think Barcelona is anything to be afraid of. Before the game, I felt that we had no hope of meeting them, but I didn't expect it... haha!"

In general, everyone was satisfied with the first half. Although they lost a goal and were equalized, Chu Zhongtian's subsequent attack really boosted morale.

When Rangnick walked in, everyone stopped talking and looked at their head coach.

"First of all, congratulations, gentlemen, you have done a great job!"

Rangnik's face changed as soon as he said, "But don't be happy too early. The game has only been halfway through, and no one knows what will happen in the second half. Barcelona is a very strong team. They are strong and resilient. They can't beat them in forty-five minutes. So we have to continue playing like this in the second half... Most of the time we were suppressed by them in the first half. We can't do this in the second half. We must play our characteristics, and always maintain this fast pace, strengthen the frontcourt pressing, and not let them press against us in the half as much as we did in the first half!"

※※※At the same time, in another locker room, Guardiola was also setting up the tactics for the second half. Hoffenheim's rapid offense posed a threat to his team in the first half, and the opponent's rapidity must be curbed in the second half. The two styles of fast and control are actually interdependent. Quick can break control, and control can also overcome fast. It depends on how you use it and how the person you use it. Barcelona's level is obviously not low.

Although Barcelona's coaching staff have a very detailed understanding of Hoffenheim's characteristics, there are some things you can't see by just watching the videotape. Only by experiencing them yourself can you get first-hand information. Do Barcelona players now have first-hand information? They know how fast Hoffenheim is getting faster.

"...We must return to defense quickly in the second half, especially the two full-backs. We must return to defense after assisting." Guardiola drew various arrows on the tactical board. "At the same time, the frontcourt strengthened the siege and pressing, and organized them to make a quick attack!"

"When dealing with Chu, you must use foul tactics appropriately. You must grasp the foul qualifying degree."

Generally speaking, if the opponent makes a foul in the half, as long as it is not a very bad and retaliatory foul, the referee will not play cards and warn you. At most, he will say a few words on his lips and have a good attitude. Nothing is wrong.

Guardiola is trying to get his players to do this.

Many Barcelona players have to re-examine him. His performance in the first half, especially in the last few minutes of the first half, was really amazing. To put it simply, with his attack, the quality he showed can gain a foothold in Barcelona.

Perhaps speaking of this will make people feel narcissistic, but if Barcelona players praise an opponent's player, the highest courtesy is to think that the opponent can play in Barcelona.

This is a kind of confidence that belongs to Barcelona players - only the best players in the world can play football in our team and be teammates with us.

A few years ago, some media linked Chu Zhongtian and Barcelona. Many Barcelona players sneered at this rumor and didn't believe it at all. They don't think that a player who has never even heard of himself may join Barcelona. Does he have that ability? Is he worthy of wearing Barcelona's jersey?

They will not have such a question now. If the club's senior management reports that they want to introduce Chu Zhongtian, they will definitely express their support for this.

Harvey is over thirty years old and Buzks is still young. The midfielder really needs someone who can organize the offense and connect the entire team. Moreover, Chu Zhongtian's offense is better than Buzks and his defense is stronger than Harvey. Such an all-around person is hard to find now with a lantern.

※※※The teams of both sides are making intense arrangements in the locker room, and fans can enjoy a relaxing forty-five minutes. Whether it is Barcelona fans or Hoffenheim fans, they are full of expectations for the second half and are in a relaxed mood. Barcelona fans are because they have this almost blind confidence in their team. Barcelona's condition is really good this season, and winning the Champions League championship is simply a natural thing. Hoffenheim cannot threaten them at all.

Hoffenheim fans have very little expectations and think that winning the runner-up is the right thing to do, so there is no pressure. Now, I am naturally happy to see the team performing so well in the first half. Everyone thinks that the game is like this, and Hoffenheim is not at a disadvantage in the competition with Barcelona, ​​and can even score goals. This is really something worth celebrating.

As for the neutral fans, it goes without saying that both sides of the game contributed a wonderful forty-five minutes to them in the first half, and those wonderful shots were the focus of their discussion.

The fans of Wimbledon Athletics also got together, and Chu Zhongtian's performance in the first half made them excited. Speaking of Chu Zhongtian's flashing shots in the first half, they were all dancing.

Also flirting were Chinese audiences in front of the TV. During the intermission, CCTV Sports Channel was replaying the wonderful scenes of the first half. Except for the goals of both sides, almost all of them were shots of Chu Zhongtian, which was obviously edited by them. However, Chinese audiences just like to watch.

The guests and hosts have to analyze every move of Chu Zhongtian. Of course, almost all praise words were praised. The Chinese fans in front of the TV were happy. No one said that they were too disgusting and pretentious, and they only praised the stinky feet of national football players, because what they said was true. Chu Zhongtian's performance in this first half was indeed very outstanding. Anyone who watched Chu Zhongtian's game and followed him could find a very obvious change - Chu Zhongtian in this game was better and better than Chu Zhongtian before, and obviously his level had reached a higher level. In a sentence that may not be appropriate, that is, Chu Zhongtian has been upgraded!

During the intermission, Emily met Chu Zhongtian's parents. They were resting in the private room and didn't go anywhere. She sat down and chatted with the two old men. Of course, everyone was talking about Chu Zhongtian. In addition, she also met Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese national team, who was sitting next to Chu Zhongtian's parents.

Gao Hongbo praised Chu Zhongtian's performance and also humorously thanked Emily, because it was Emily who persuaded Chu Zhongtian to play again. Otherwise, the Chinese team would not have the results they have today and would have won the Asian Cup championship.

UEFA officials also sat in the private room, chatting with each other during the halftime break, and perhaps even doing some activities that were not related to the game. However, UEFA President Platini did nothing and sat in his seat and waited quietly for the second half to begin. He would also give the champion a trophy later.

Although there is a rumor that Platini is Barcelona's "godfather" circulating on the Chinese Internet, in fact, this is just compiled by fans who hate Barcelona. There is no evidence that Platini is really Barcelona's godfather. However, it is not a secret that Platini likes Barcelona. Platini likes those good-looking offensive footballs that are pleasing to the eye, and Barcelona happens to play such footballs.

Fortunately, the finals of this season are two teams that advocate offensive football. Otherwise, he will definitely support Barcelona again. But even so, he still hopes that Barcelona will win. After all, Barcelona has publicity value, and Hoffenheim does not. Barcelona itself has huge influence. If they win the Champions League again, it will be even more terrifying. Such promotion will be twice the result with half the effort. Promoting Hoffenheim

The effort required to be more... Inter Milan won the championship last season with a slap him hard. For a moment, everyone exclaimed that "negative and ugly conservative football" will become the future trend of the world football world. If it is really like this, this is certainly not what Platini hopes to see. Fortunately, in the World Cup, the Spanish national team with Barcelona as the team won the Hercules Golden Cup, which can be regarded as saving face for offensive football.

So both public and private, Platini hopes that Barcelona will win the Champions League championship this time.

※※The halftime break passed quickly and the second half was about to begin. Players from both sides walked out of the locker room one after another, and the fans in the stands cheered for the first time.

As soon as Chu Zhongtian came out, the TV camera was aimed at him. He was a very active person in the first half and contributed an assist to the team. The offense that was about to end the first half also made people talk about it until now. What outstanding performance will he have in the second half? It is worth looking forward to.

Messi naturally received key attention. Before the second half, Chu Zhongtian was the one who gave the most time to close-ups.

The live director uses this method to tell everyone that these two people are the leaders of their respective teams and they will be the key to the outcome of this game!

"Friends! Welcome back to the Wembley Stadium. The 2010-2011 Champions League final is about to begin, against Barcelona and Hoffenheim. The score in the first half was 1:1, and the two sides temporarily tied. In the 20th minute, Obasi took the lead for Hoffenheim, and the person who assisted him was Chinese player Chu Zhongtian! In the 37th minute, Barcelona equalized the score, and the goal was Pedro." He Ping put on soundproof headphones and started his own work.

"Now that the players on both sides have entered the stadium, we see Chu Zhongtian... He performed very well in this game, assisted in offense, and defended Messi several times during defense. You should know that there are not many people who can defend Messi in one-on-one..."

He Ping's tone revealed uncovered pride.

One of the players who led this game was our fellow countrymen, and it certainly deserves pride and pride!

※※※The second half of the game started with the referee's whistle, and neither side made a substitution adjustment. However, the TV broadcast also noticed that just as the second half began, Van Nisstruy put on a vest to warm up.

Maybe Hoffenheim will take the lead in making adjustments?

At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona did not take advantage of their kick-off to launch a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's hinterland. They passed the football back to attract Hoffenheim to push it out.

As long as the football is controlled by their feet, there is no problem.

After several minutes of continuous ball control, they finally hit the penalty area. Villa made a cross and Messi grabbed the point in front of the goal. Unfortunately, under Chu Zhongtian's close interference, his shot was not strong enough. The soft and weak shot made Enyema, who was in good position, easily get it.

Chu Zhongtian had just completed his close defense against Messi in front of the goal, and then rushed out of the penalty area.

Nyema then threw the football to him.

Chu Zhongtian looked back at the football, came back and planned to adjust his speed, and then let the football fall in front of him.

The football fell from behind him. As soon as he stretched out his foot to click the football, he felt his support foot be kicked.

But he did not fall because this level of damage could not interfere with him.

He rushed forward and continued to control the ball. At this time, the person next to him rushed up and reached out to hold his clothes. He ran forward again and couldn't run anymore.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Barcelona foul!

The person who fouled was Pedro. He ran away immediately after the foul. The referee only made a gesture to let Hoffenheim give a free kick in the backcourt.

Hoffenheim's fast break opportunity is gone.

Chu Zhongtian glanced at Pedro's back. He didn't receive such treatment in the first half. The Barcelona players played politely and did not even have a yellow card in the first half, which can explain the problem.

In the subsequent game, as long as Hoffenheim turns from defense to offense, when Chu Zhongtian gets the ball in the backcourt, at least two Barcelona players will be approached by him, and then foul him. They even come either to intercept the ball or for fouls.

However, their foul plots are very mild, at most they are pulling the jersey, pushing and shoving hands, and tripping under their feet... These fouls are not enough to get the cards, but they can effectively prevent Hoffenheim's rapid offense. They make Hoffenheim players run in vain again and again.

Under their foul, Chu Zhongtian did not organize a fast attack in one of his own.

He understood, it seemed that the other party planned to use this method to curb himself and Hoffenheim's speed.

Chu Zhongtian knew that this would cause some trouble for himself, but it was just some trouble. If you foul on me, I would reduce the time the football stays under my feet, and then your foul will naturally be useless. I have no ball, so what else do you do to foul on me?

When the football came again, Chu Zhongtian even knocked the football to Sana behind him with his heel. It would be impossible for the opponent to foul him again. If they rushed up and fouled at this time, the yellow card would definitely not be able to escape - fouls against players without the ball must be strictly prohibited.

And there is another advantage of doing this, which is that it will make Hoffenheim's already fast attack faster, because football doesn't have to stay at his feet, saving a lot of time.

Sana passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, and his strength was a little weak. Next to him was Iniesta. The opponent rushed up to see this.

In fact, when Sana passed the ball out, he knew it was broken. His passing power was too small, and it was easy to be intercepted by the opponent in the middle and then counterattacked. So after passing the ball, he quickly took a step back and prepared to defend Iniesta.

Chu Zhongtian did not give up the ball. He rushed up with Iniesta to compete for the ball control.

Generally speaking, if a player is placed in Chu Zhongtian's position, his choice is to pass the football out with big feet, so that the football can get rid of this small space as soon as possible, or to quickly push the football back and pull it back, and take advantage of the situation to get rid of Iniesta, who is more ruthless in pressing.

Chu Zhongtian did not do this. He strode towards football. Although it seemed like he wanted to clear the ball with his feet or slam the ball behind him, he didn't expect that his feet would be very light when swung down. The football was rubbed by him and just passed the intercepted Iniesta's legs and returned to Sana's feet.

Sana took a step back and saw the football fly towards him. He stopped quickly. Chu Zhongtian pointed at the far end, and he understood it and transferred the football directly, breaking Barcelona's front court press.

This performance won him applause from the stands, but this is not just Chu Zhongtian's only wonderful performance.

When he moved to the frontcourt, Serner passed the football from the backcourt. He stopped with his chest and Busques was about to push behind him. Chu Zhongtian did not continue to control the ball, nor did he try to stop the football. After the football fell, he first held the football with his left foot to delay the football. Then he half turned around and paddled the football with his right foot to the side. Sana, who was inserted behind him, drifted the football out with his thigh. No Barcelona player thought that Chu Zhongtian would pass the ball like this, and Sana easily broke through with the football!

"Oh!!" The Hoffenheim fans in the stands exclaimed.

The commentators also cheered for Chu Zhongtian's inadvertent display of technology and consciousness.

"Wonderful!"

“What else can we say besides being pretty?”

"Butskes couldn't even touch Chu Zhongtian's clothes, so the football was already sent out by him!"

"Chu taught Barcelona a lesson!"

Various praises appeared on the commentary seat at the same time.

Scenes like this appeared many times in the following games. Even Rangnick couldn't help but applaud his wonderful performance again and again. In his opinion, Chu Zhongtian in the final was a little unfamiliar with him, but he was sure that - Chu Zhongtian has now completed a transcendence, and he has already left the realm of an ordinary all-round midfielder, so he can already tie with the superstars in Barcelona.

Chu Zhongtian is taking advantage of this opportunity in the Champions League final to upgrade in front of people all over the world!
Chapter completed!
