Chapter two hundred and twentieth equalizer
After falling behind, Hoffenheim still played very positively, or they played very positively under Chu Zhongtian's leadership. It seems that they were not affected by the conceding goal at all, but continued to attack Real Madrid.
This is not a desperate counterattack, they are still very organized and organized in the offense.
Chu Zhongtian still made a direct pass under the entanglement of Khedira. Van Nistrui scored a diagonal shot and shot. The football was blocked by Casillas with his feet and went out of the baseline, which shocked the Real Madrid fans in the stands to shout.
Hoffenheim's corner kick was taken by Salihovic. He kicked the ball towards the goal. Simonic almost hit the ball, and the football was eventually hit by Casillas who attacked.
The ball did not hit far, and Sana, outside the penalty area, received a powerful shot from the football, and the football eventually rose above the crossbar.
Three minutes later, Hoffenheim made a comeback. Kolarov dribbled the ball from the wing. Facing Aberoa, he chose to force a breakthrough. Aberoa could not stop him, and the turn of his kung fu was left behind by Kalarov.
The Hoffenheim fans at the scene cheered when they saw such a wonderful performance.
Kalarov, who broke through Abeloya, did not directly pass the ball to the goal, but dunked it, and passed the ball after Abeloya who rushed over!
He passed the football to Chu Zhongtian in the ribs. Chu Zhongtian did not shoot or cross. After receiving the ball, he directly passed it with a straight pass.
After dunking Abeloa, Kolarov, who completed the pass, did not stop, but flashed past Abeloa and ran straight into the penalty area.
At this moment, he received a pass from Chu Zhongtian!
"Beautiful cooperation!" the commentators exclaimed.
Kolarov received the ball in the penalty area, and then he shot. He shot very strongly, but Casillas' save was also very powerful. The Spanish goal-selected position was very accurate, holding Kolarov's shot firmly in his arms. It looked like Kolarov kicked the football directly into his arms.
The fans' applause came from the stands. Real Madrid fans applauded for Casillas' save. You know, when they saw Kolarov break into the penalty area and receive the pass, they were really shocked. At that time, there was no Real Madrid player beside Kolarov. This was too dangerous! Fortunately, Kolarov's shot was a bit straight... and Hoffenheim fans were also applauding, they were applauding Hoffenheim's successful attack. Regardless of whether there were goals or not, as long as the team
It is worthy of their applause and applause to be able to play such a football. Hoffenheim is not a giant team that has failed in the league like Real Madrid. The fans have much lower requirements. As long as the team can play football that makes them pleasing to the eye and show courage, it is enough. So even though they are one goal behind at the Bernabeu, the fans still support them. Booing their own players will happen to Real Madrid fans, but it will never happen to Hoffenheim fans.
Although there were no goals, Hoffenheim's courage can be seen from these attacks. They were not intimidated by Real Madrid's goals, but continued to strive for goals.
Even when faced with adversity, they would never give up on offense. This is indeed an excellent stage. They showed the world the football belonging to Hoffenheim.
From thirty-two minutes to forty-five minutes, Hoffenheim did not give up on the offense for a second, and the excitement of the game was not reduced with Real Madrid's goal.
The crazy goal-scoring moment that many people think has not come. Hoffenheim's offensive is very crazy. For this reason, Real Madrid even had to choose to retreat and avoid the edge for the time being. There are few such teams that can make Real Madrid shrink their defense at the Bernabeu.
In the past, they were all patents of those top giant teams, but now they are given to a small team from the countryside.
Therefore, although Hoffenheim could not equalize the score until the end of the first half. They ended the first half with a 0:1 ratio and entered the locker room. However, when the whistle at the end of the first half sounded, Hoffenheim fans in the stands still stood up and applauded the team.
"At the end of the first half, Hoffenheim trailed Real Madrid 0:1! Please note that this score was the result after they fought against Real Madrid for 45 minutes! Hoffenheim fell behind with only one goal at the Bernabeu Stadium, and such a result is very amazing!" The German commentator was very satisfied with the first half.
But the Spanish commentator doesn't think so.
"We should have led three or four goals in the first half! But Mourinho's team is still squandering those opportunities. Hoffenheim chose to attack Real Madrid, which is a good thing. But Real Madrid players did not seize it! You should know that Hoffenheim is a team with strong attack power. If we waste shooting opportunities again and again, I am worried that Real Madrid's defense will make some inexplicable mistakes - they have often done this in the past few seasons! Therefore, there is nothing to be happy to be ahead of only one goal in the first half. Real Madrid must strengthen their offense and strive to score as soon as possible in the second half!"
Chinese commentator He Ping is a bit neutral. He himself is a Real Madrid fan, but Hoffenheim has Chu Zhongtian. He thinks that both teams perform well. Before the game, some people think that Hoffenheim beat Real Madrid away is an incredible thing, but he believes that after watching the first half, no one will think so. Judging from the performance of the two teams, it is normal for anyone to win.
"Of course, maybe it's better to tie it, ha!"
※※※After experiencing the first half of the 45-minute match against Real Madrid, Hoffenheim's players returned to the locker room.
It was not until this time that they could calm down. Think about it, we actually fought against Real Madrid for 45 minutes!
Not any team can do such a thing easily!
When they thought they did it, they were a little excited and discussed it in the locker room, with a little smugness in their words, completely forgetting the frustration of losing the ball. "Hey, have you seen the breakthrough I had just made for Aberoa? I think that was so beautiful!"
"Although Casillas is very powerful, I didn't get angry when I shot him!"
"That Ronaldo is just like that. I don't think he has caused me any trouble..."
However, after Chu Zhongtian came in, he shouted loudly: "Brothers! Don't be too happy too early! We are behind now!"
Hearing him say this, everyone stopped discussing and turned to look at him.
Chu Zhongtian took off his sweat-soaked jersey, then shook his head, and his hair was covered with sweat. In the first half, he ran back and forth with no effort, which was more tired than usual. But if it weren't for his running series, Hoffenheim would never be able to compete with Real Madrid in these forty minutes.
Chu Zhongtian stood in the middle of the locker room. Before head coach Rangnick came in, he planned to say a few words first. Now in the locker room, he can be regarded as the responsibility of half of the head coach. Everyone was not surprised that he spoke like a head coach.
"Although we played against them forty-five minutes and it wasn't bad to just fall behind by one ball. But we're not here to pursue losing only one ball, guys. If possible, we should try our best to get points!"
His teammates, who were quite proud before, lowered their heads. Yes, have they forgotten the purpose of coming here? They are not here to visit the locker room and the turf. You know, it is them who are behind now, so how can they be so happy to be behind in the score?
"In the second half, we should continue to attack, brothers!" Chu Zhongtian waved. "Not only that, we also have to strive for goals. We created some opportunities in the first half, but we didn't score, which is a pity. We must improve our shooting accuracy in the second half!"
He looked like a head coach. In fact, what Rangnick said here later was no different. However, Rangnick also praised the team's performance, believing that everyone did a good job. In such a game, facing such an opponent, he could still attack him without fear and only concede one goal, which is amazing.
The head coach's perspective is different from Chu Zhongtian. After all, there is a gap between him and the player. Sometimes he needs to say good things first to win over the relationship. Chu Zhongtian himself is a player and is in harmony with his teammates. He can speak more directly, without considering so much.
※※※In the dressing room of Real Madrid, Mourinho was satisfied with the team's performance, especially when facing Hoffenheim, he did not concede the ball, which was amazing. However, he also told his players that it is not safe to lead one ball, especially when facing a team that is good at attacking, the score may be rewritten at any time. Therefore, he asked the team to seize the opportunity of Hoffenheim playing against them in the second half and strive to score a few more goals. The 2:0 score is much safer than 1:0.
※※After the second half, everything is no different from the first half, at least it looks like this. Whether it is Hoffenheim or Real Madrid are attacking, they all hope to score goals. Real Madrid needs to score goals to expand their lead and put them in a safe position, while Hoffenheim needs to equalize the score as soon as possible, retain suspense for the game, and also strive for hope for itself.
The second half of the game entered a fierce competition from the beginning.
"Cristiano Ronaldo! His fake moves are really superb! He successfully deceived Baker who was defending him!"
Ronaldo used a heel to pass the ball to Marcelo who was inserted into the back. Baker had no response to the pass. He was completely attracted by Ronaldo and forgot about Marcelo who was inserted from behind.
Marcelo's cross was pushed out by Compare, and then both sides fought in the midfield.
Ronaldo's beautiful heel passes the ball here and excited the fans of the Bernabeu. Chu Zhongtian immediately responded. When his teammate Sana passed the ball to him, he turned his back to the attack direction, turned his hips, and made a fake move to catch the ball and turn from the right to break through. He tricked Hedira into blocking his right side in advance, but he let the ball leak through his side, and then turned from the left to complete the escape.
His move also received applause from Hoffenheim fans.
After getting rid of Khedira, Chu Zhongtian drew the ball forward. Just as he was about to divide the football into the side, his ball was tackled by Xavi Alonso.
Chu Zhongtian was thrown to the ground, but the referee had no words. The Hoffenheim fans in the stands booed.
Real Madrid used this interception to impress the fast break. Alonso passed the football big foot to the front. C. Ronaldo jumped high and headed the ball to Higuain in the middle. Higuain lost the opportunity to turn when he stopped the ball. He turned the ball back to the goal. Alonso just received the ball, but Chu Zhongtian poked it from behind... The ball was stabbed away!
Alonso hurriedly chased the ball, but the football was intercepted by Sana, who had been guarding the side.
But don't think it's safe. When Sana planned to lead the football forward, he was blocked by Khedira. The two kicked each other in the midfield, and neither of them won. The football jumped out of the control of the two.
This time it was replaced by Xavi Alonso and Chu Zhongtian duel, and the two ran towards football almost at the same time.
In the end, Chu Zhongtian was slightly better and rushed to the front of the ball. However, Alonso was also very, very close to him. If he wanted to take the ball out of the dangerous area, he would face Alonso's fierce defense. Chu Zhongtian did not choose to dribble the ball. He rushed to the ball and directly pushed the ball, passing it through Alonso and passing it to the side.
Quaresma was plugging in from there and he got the ball!
After Quaresma received the ball, he was ahead of him.
Facing the Brazilian defender, Quaresma wades the football at high speed along the sideline. He does not make any fancy moves, just dribbling and then dribbling. Facing Marcelo's defense, he is not afraid. From Barcelona to Porto, from Porto to Inter Milan, and now from Inter Milan to Hoffenheim, he seems to have gone downhill in his career, and Europe knows that he is a big merchandise.
Even Marcelo seemed a little careless when defending him, and he always moved a little slower when raising his legs.
Quaresma's performance in the first half was indeed quite plain, without any sharp breakthroughs or ecstasy external instep. It was very ordinary, and more often it was passing the ball instead of breaking the ball.
When Quaresma was dribbling on the side, Chu Zhongtian and other Hoffenheim players followed up at the middle highway.
Chu Zhongtian suddenly turned to the sideways halfway, and seemed to be planning to pick up Quaresma.
Marcelo also noticed this situation and hesitated for a moment. Before the game, Mourinho emphasized to them more than once that the only player in Hoffenheim is really threatening, Chu Zhongtian, who is the core of the team's offense. No matter where the team plays, he will always be the center of his teammates' passing. He felt that Quaresma should pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, so he thought that in the first half, Quaresma always made false moves to break through and then passed the football to other teammates. He looked like he lacked confidence.
So Marcelo slowed down and planned to block Chu Zhongtian, whether he passed the ball or dribbled the ball. As for Quaresma... his light glance saw Quaresma lifting his foot. This was not a normal running leg swinging action, but a preparation for passing the ball at the back heel! Brazilian player Marcelo knew these small moves very well, and he immediately realized that Quaresma really wanted to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian.
So he braked suddenly and turned around to rush Chu Zhongtian.
Unexpectedly, Quaresma lifted her foot up and fell down, did nothing, and the other foot continued to knock the football forward!
He got rid of Marcelo's entanglement!
Marcelo realized that he had been fooled.
Chu Zhongtian, who had completed the mission, turned to rush to the middle road again.
Quaresma, who had completed the breakthrough, had already rushed to the opponent's thirty-meter line. He did not continue to go down the bottom, but cut inside.
"Oh! This is his familiar method! The outside instep of the right foot!" the commentator shouted expectantly.
Mourinho is obviously familiar with his player who once advocated the introduction, so he warned his players before the game that if Quaresma makes a cross from the bottom, then let him go, but if he does not fall but cuts inside, he should be extra careful with the outside instep.
This player belongs to the category of the nerve knife. You can't guarantee when he will perform poorly or be in a state of courage. Just like his outside instep, maybe he failed to kick ten times, but he entered the eleventh kick. Therefore, he must be strictly guarded at the front of the penalty area.
Quaresma did raise his right foot and made a move to rub the outside of his right foot and shoot the far corner with his right foot. The central defender Carvalho immediately blocked his back.
Unexpectedly, Quaresma did not shoot, but used his right toe to divide the football into the middle. Then he paused and adjusted and inserted into the penalty area.
Seeing Quaresma doing this, the fool knew that he was going to be two-pass one. At the front of the penalty area, such two-pass one was very threatening. Carvalho still half-kneeled on the ground and did not get up. Marcelo rushed in from outside to chase Quaresma.
So who did Quaresma pass the football before?
The football fell at Chu Zhongtian's feet. He made a move to pass the ball! Everyone thought he was going to pass it to Quaresma. Except for Pepe, everyone focused on Quaresma.
Pepe came up and Chu Zhongtian made a move to pass the ball, but in fact it was a spike!
Pepe stretched out his foot and touched the football, but did not kick it out completely. The football kicked by him hit Chu Zhongtian's calves, and as a result, he hit the football forward again, and the football rushed past him!
This was really a coincidence!
Chu Zhongtian reacted quickly, and he rushed out with the football.
Pepe didn't have time to pull him, so he could only watch Chu Zhongtian break through his defense and enter the penalty area!
"Chu! He broke through! So beautiful!!"
The commentators suddenly yelled, and the sounds at the scene suddenly surged.
Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough broke the defensive balance of Real Madrid. Faced with this player who suddenly rushed in, Real Madrid's players didn't know what to do for a while.
Chu Zhongtian would not give them a chance to pounce on him to defend himself. As he rushed into the penalty area, he only had a huge goal and the "Saint Igor" Casillas in front of him.
He kicked his feet and shot!
The football jumped from the bottom left corner of the goal against the turf!
Casillas fell to the ground and rushed towards the football.
However, compared with his save speed, football is better... "Ball, ball... the ball is in!!" He Ping couldn't believe it at first, but he confirmed it before shouting. He only saw the trembling of the ball net, and thought it was shot on the side net. When he saw the Hoffenheim player Ibisek, who was closest to the goal, cheered with his arms raised, he shouted suddenly.
"Beautiful! So beautiful! Chu Zhongtian scored! He scored the goal from Real Madrid! He broke through the goal guarded by Casillas! He equalized the score for Hoffenheim!!"
Chapter completed!
