Players on both sides stood in the passage waiting to enter the court. The live broadcast outside was loudly introducing the players. First of all, the visiting team players, the live announcer introduced them very perfunctorily, and Schalke 04 fans also booed the names of Hoffenheim players.

When it was time to introduce Schalke 04 players, the radio and the fans cheered enthusiastically. This is the difference between home and away games... Such a trick cannot shake the fighting spirit of Hoffenheim players. They are determined to win this last game. After working hard for a season and experiencing so many setbacks, why? Isn't it for the silver-shining salad plate?

No one will give up the spoils he has obtained. Although he is still uncertain, he must always strive for it.

If Hoffenheim, who has just been promoted to the First Division, still seems not very confident, then after a season of training, they have learned to be calm and have valuable confidence at such an important moment.

This season is topped by the changes that Hoffenheim has taken in the past 100 years.

Chu Zhongtian stood at the front of the team, with Schalke 04's captain, Brazilian central defender Bolden.

Before the game, both sides could be very friendly, and Bolden took the initiative to extend his hand to Chu Zhongtian. The 33-year-old Brazilian central defender has long flowing hair, 1.89 meters tall, excellent jumping and outstanding heading. He is the team's main central defender. He has been in the Bundesliga. After transferring from Sao Paulo to Stuttgart in 1998, he played in Stuttgart for five seasons, and then transferred to Schalke 04 to this day. World football has been in a game in a game.

There are not many players who scored a hat-trick for free kicks. Mikhailovic once did it during his time at Lazio, which made him famous all over the world. Bolden, the Brazilian central defender, also did it. When he played for Stuttgart, he scored three powerful and heavy long-distance free kicks in a game. His defense of running assists was quite similar to Roberto Carlos, and after scoring the goal, he used his hand to pull the bolt on the outside of his thigh, and the celebration of pulling the bolt on the outside of his thigh was also impressive.

At that time, Bolden was still in his prime, but now he has become a 33-year-old veteran and is facing the problem of retirement.

However, such a veteran is still one of the best central defenders in the Bundesliga. Although the signature free kick score is no longer visible, the air defense ability is still excellent. Whoever underestimates him will suffer.

Chu Zhongtian reached out and smiled and shook hands with him to show kindness.

"Good luck to you," Bolden said.

"Thank you." Chu Zhongtian replied.

This is the communication between the two captains before the game.

At this time, the referee Schmidt walked out of the referee's lounge with his two assistant coaches and a fourth official. He held the football and walked to the front and said to Chu Zhongtian and Bolden: "It's going to play, gentlemen."

The captains of both sides turned over and slapped at their teammates and shouted: "Prepare to appear!!"

When the players of the two teams walked out of the corridor, the huge cheers sounded at the scene made people vaguely feel the 127 decibels storm. Of course, this hasn't arrived yet. It's just that for a moment, it was really deafening.

The captains of both sides quickly gathered together again, exchanged team flags and picked the side. Chu Zhongtian won the right to pick the side, and Schalke 04 got the right to kick the ball.

The players on both sides stood according to their respective formations and waited for the kickoff.

The referee, in confrontation with the fourth official, must ensure that the last round of the league is nationally teeing. After receiving the fourth official's reply, he blew the whistle in his mouth.

"The competition has begun!"

"CCTV! CCTV! Audiences, what you see now is the last round of the German Football League 08 to 2009 season, Schalke 04 played against Hoffenheim at home! This is a game that concerns the ownership of the league championship!"

※※※At the beginning of the game, Schalke 04 took advantage of the ball in hand to launch a fierce attack on Hoffenheim.

After Falfan kicked the football to Asamoa, he ran forward. After a series of passes, the football reached his feet again. At this time, he had moved to the edge of the penalty area. Falfan, who received the football, did not give Hoffenheim's defender time to rush up, and directly shot!

No one expected Schalke 04 to have his first shot so soon, so Hoffenheim's defenders did not defend in time. Fortunately, Hildebrand was highly focused and tried his best to save Falfan's shot.

But Schalke 04's attack was not over yet. After Hildebran saved the football, the football did not fly to the bottom line, but bounced back.

Schalke 04 player Khalil Altendop, who rushed into the penalty area, volleyed in the air against the incoming ball!

"Altontop—"

Lef shouted, Schalke 04 got such a good scoring opportunity just now, and he was also excited.

There was a huge cheer from the Aofu Schalke Stadium, and the fans of Schalke 04 stood up to cheer for the goal.

Everyone thought the ball had entered, but only Hildebran disagreed. After saving Falfan's first shot, he climbed up from the ground and prepared for a second save, which made him wait.

When Altontop's shot flew towards him, he rose up and blocked the football with one hand!

"Hildebran! Beautiful!"

Duan Bin shouted.

This time, Hoffenheim's defensive player was no longer careless. Comper quickly drove the football out, without giving Schalke 04's players a chance to shoot.

After playing big feet, Comper was still a little scared - what should I do if the team fell behind after less than a minute of the game?

"Only one minute of the game started, Schalke 04's players threatened Hoffenheim's goal twice! It seems that it is not easy for Hoffenheim to win in this game. Schalke 04 used these two shots to tell the visiting guests, and they were not willing to give up the victory!"

※※※ "We had expected this a long time ago." Rangnick said to his assistant Caidler. "Schalke 04 is not the kind of team that is willing to lose to his opponent at home, and they have to compete for the qualification for next season's League Cup. But I didn't expect them to enter the game so soon..."

Schalke 04's head coach Biskens was proud that the team was getting into the game so quickly.

"Hoffenheim has always claimed that they are in a fast state of entering the game. I want them to see who is faster!" He said to the people around him.

※※※On the court, Chu Zhongtian was shouting to his teammates: "See, brothers? This is the final of the championship! Get up and focus!"

After saving these two shots, Hildebran felt that he was in very good shape today, and he was full of confidence: "I am in good shape today, so I can leave the goal to me with confidence, guys! Go and attack!"

Schalke 04's players will definitely regret that they did not score the goal now, because their two-way attack awakened Hoffenheim's players.

After the kick-off, the football was passed to Chu Zhongtian's feet. This is the offensive method that Hoffenheim players have become accustomed to after a season.

Chu Zhongtian is Hoffenheim's brain.

After Chu Zhongtian got the ball, he was immediately closely guarded by Schalke 04 players. The person who defended him closely was Dutch midfielder Englar.

Englar volunteered to defend Chu Zhongtian. He still remembered the first time the two sides fought, when he was fooled by Chu Zhongtian. He couldn't swallow this tone no matter what, and he had to find the venue.

At that time, the Hoffenheim player fell to the ground due to injury. He kindly reminded Chu Zhongtian that some teammates were injured and hoped that he would kick the football out. However, Chu Zhongtian deceived him and used his kindness to assist Hoffenheim to score a goal.

He Englar is not a good-tempered player, so he must be revenged!

If Biskens hadn't wanted the game between the two teams to repeat the situation in the last fight, he would have tackled Chu Zhongtian from behind. Before the game, head coach Biskens analyzed many opponents' situations, and when he mentioned Chu Zhongtian, he especially reminded everyone to pay attention and thought of many ways to deal with Chu Zhongtian. Englar said that he would not need anything, and he would have an accident when he went up, causing Chu Zhongtian to be injured and left the field, and the opponent's most threatening task would be solved.

Unfortunately, Biskens did not appreciate coach Lu Teng's approach. He didn't want his team to be sent off two more people in the game, and another coach was sent to the stands.

So Englar just pressed her body close to her and didn't do too ruthlessly.

Facing Englar's close-fitting press, Chu Zhongtian did not win. He chose to transfer the football out and then cut the running position by himself. At the same time, he was still observing the situation around him while running. When his teammates passed the football over again, he cleverly missed and penetrated the football between his legs, tricking Englar.

The football fell to Eduardo and got the ball, and the Brazilian drove the ball forward.

※※※The match between Schalke 04 and Hoffenheim attracted a lot of attention, especially Wolfsburg supporters. Wolfsburg faced Werder Bremen at home, but the Wolfsburg people seemed a little absent-minded in this game. They were always paying attention to news on another court, even the team's coaches and substitutes were no exception.

Schalke 04 had two threatening attacks in less than a minute of the opening game, and when the news of the goal almost caused the goal to reach Volkswagen Arena, it caused a lot of joy here, and they tried hard to cheer for Schalke 04.

It seemed that inspired by this news, the Wolfsburg players on the court also played very excitedly.

In the sixth minute, they took the lead. Misimovic scored a beautiful volley in the penalty area and scored the home team's first record.

For Wolfsburg fans, this is a double blessing - their team is leading here, Schalke 04 looks in good shape and has a good chance of scoring. As long as Wolfsburg defeats Werder Bremen and Schalke 04 defeats Hoffenheim, then Wolfsburg will be able to win the league championship.

It is not possible to draw. Because Wolfsburg is now two points behind Hoffenheim, even if Hoffenheim and Schalke 04 tie, unless Wolfsburg defeats Werder Bremen with a big score, the championship will still belong to Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim now has 83 goals, while Wolfsburg has only 75 goals. Although this number of goals ranks second in the league, it is still a bit far from Hoffenheim. If Hoffenheim is a draw, they must beat Werder Bremen with at least nine goals to ensure the league championship. The Bundesliga points ranking rules are to compare points first, and the goal difference is compared when the points are the same, and then the goal difference is the same. Whether it is points or goal difference, Hoffenheim is the dominant goal difference than Wolfsburg.

Although Bremen has been unfavorable this season, it is impossible to lose nine goals away to Wolfsburg... If this score really appears, the German Football Association will investigate whether there is any trick in this game.

So the draw is meaningless for Wolfsburg, but fortunately, the draw is meaningless for Schalke 04. If they want to qualify for the season's League Cup, they must win Hoffenheim at home.

The Wolfsburg people knew this and felt a little relieved. Schalke 04 will definitely strive to win, and the draw is meaningless to them.

Only Hoffenheim's situation is the most favorable. As long as we draw, we can win the league championship. However, none of the Hoffenheim's soldiers have such an idea. What they think is to win. If we don't win, the championship will be won. What's more, the opponent is determined to win. Can we get what we want if we want to draw? So the safest way is to win.

※※※"Wolfsburg scored." Zeidler told Rangnick about another stadium.

Rangnick nodded: "No matter how many goals they score, as long as we win, let them in." He was not in a hurry. Anyway, fate is still in his own hands so far, and they don't need to look at the faces of Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen.

On the court, Hoffenheim's offensive improved, and their powerful attack power gradually began to show their power.

In the ninth minute, Hoffenheim got a corner kick opportunity. Chu Zhongtian's header flew out against the post, shocking Schalke 04's fans in a cold sweat.

In the twelfth minute, Hoffenheim got another chance. Chu Zhongtian passed Denba. Denba. After receiving the ball, he forced a breakthrough, and then went in and shot a long shot from the edge. The football hit the side net, which made the person who didn't see clearly excited and thought the ball had entered. Duan Bin was one of them.

When he saw Demba Ba shooting the football raised the ball net, he couldn't wait to shout: "The ball has entered!"

Then he found out that Demba Ba was not celebrating, and Schalke's goalkeeper Neuer was not frustrated or angry. He realized that he had read it wrong and quickly explained: "Ah... the football hit the side net. From my perspective, it really seemed like he scored the goal..."

He really hopes that Hoffenheim will score sooner, and it is best to score two goals in a row to secure the victory, so that he doesn't have to worry.

However, this game is destined not to let Hoffenheim win easily.

In the fifteenth minute, Schalke 04 returned with color. Falfan was knocked down by Baker when he broke through on the left. The referee gave Schalke 04 a free kick, which was taken by Falfan. He swung the ball directly to the goal, and Hildebran punched the football twice before Currany. The football fell to Altotop's feet, but his shot from the back of the penalty area was off the target.

Although Schalke 04's defense is the strongest in the Bundesliga this season, in this game, in order to win and his own home court, Biskens did not let the team play defensive football, but came out to actively attack Hoffenheim. It can be seen from the first ten minutes that he is obviously very confident in his team and hopes to use attacks to defeat Hoffenheim, who is famous for attacking.

But soon Hoffenheim taught him a lesson.

In this game, Eduardo and Sarihovic continued to start, while Weis continued to play as a midfielder with Chu Zhongtian. This midfield combination performed well in the game against Bayern and was the main contributor to the team's ability to defeat Bayern Munich. Therefore, in this most important game, Rangnick continued to use this combination.

Weiss and Chu Zhongtian can defend and attack at the iron gate in the middle, which is very useful.

In the 23rd minute, the 21-year-old young Croatian midfielder Ivan_rakitic dribbled the ball in the middle. Facing Chu Zhongtian's entanglement, he rushed to pass the ball. As a result, Weiss, who was waiting on the pass route, intercepted the ball.

Seeing that the defense was successful, Chu Zhongtian left and turned away from Rakitic. At the same time, Weiss also passed the football over tacitly. While Chu Zhongtian turned around, he led the football over and then drove the ball forward.

Chu Zhongtian's mid-range breakthrough. After this season, especially in the second half of the season, his opponents knew better. Seeing him dribbling the ball in the middle, he knew that Hoffenheim was going to make big moves.

Many opponents have also made corresponding defensive arrangements for this point - when Chu Zhongtian dribbles the ball forward, he will be cautious and try to grab his ball. Because Chu Zhongtian's forward insertion is a risky move, if his ball is cut, there will be a large amount of space behind him that can be used by the opponent. Therefore, this forward insertion is a decision that Chu Zhongtian needs to make after carefully analyzing the situation on the field. He cannot move forward at any time, which is a brainless performance. Therefore, whenever he moves forward, it often means that the opponent's defense has room to use.

The same is true now, because Rakitic's pass was cut off, Schalke 04 was in a period of time when the offense turned to defense, which was the most dangerous time. Because not everyone can be as unified as one person and have a high concentration of attention. As long as one person is temporarily distracted, it may cause loopholes in the originally well-maintained defense line.

For example, Schalke 04's right defense has a problem. Just now, when Rakitic dribbled the ball forward, Schalke 04's right back, Brazilian Rafinia, who has strong assist ability, couldn't wait to rush up, and raised her hand to ask for the ball. The pass that Rakitic was cut off just now was originally intended to pass to Rafinia. The receiver raised his hand to ask for the ball, so he really passed it there. With such an obvious intention to pass the ball, the defender would be blind... Chu Zhongtian seized the opportunity of Rafinia's assist and stepped forward before he had time to return to defense to hit Schalke 04's right-hand side.

He took two steps, attracted Englar and Jones to his side, and suddenly passed the ball and passed the ball to the left forward Sarihovic.

After receiving the ball, Sarihovic had already gone very deeply. He did not continue to dribble the ball, but directly passed the ball low into the penalty area.

Chu Zhongtian's forward insertion is a signal of attack, which is a secret code that everyone knows for Hoffenheim players. Seeing him forward insertion, the forwards immediately focused and were ready to run away and catch the ball at any time.

Therefore, when Sarihovic passed the low, Demba Ba's reaction was one step faster than Schalke 04's central defender Korstajic (molden_krstajic)!

He changed direction first and suddenly stepped forward, throwing Kolstadic behind him, then faced the incoming ball and poked it gently... "The ball has entered!!"
Chapter completed!
