Chapter 242 Ace's Speed ??Showdown(1/2)
The two sides entered a fast-paced confrontation from the beginning. Whether it was Real Madrid or Hoffenheim, the characteristics of the two teams were fast. When the two fast teams met, they naturally accelerated quickly.
An exciting scene occurred in the first minute of the game. Chu Zhongtian initiated an offensive and Hoffenheim quickly hit the opponent's hinterland. Ibisekic shot outside the penalty area, and the football flew out of the baseline, which made the Hoffenheim fans in the stands happy.
"Oh! Judging from this shot, Hoffenheim is in good shape! They had a threatening shot just one minute after the game started!"
"Real Madrid has been in good shape recently, and it seems we have a game worth looking forward to..."
In this game, Rangnick gave the team a tactical order to press the whole game, and he used rough fouls or large defensive actions to curb Real Madrid's performance.
The players faithfully executed on the court.
As soon as Real Madrid kicked off, Hoffenheim's players rushed over and were inseparable.
Even if they were in the backcourt, Ibissevic, Obasi and others would force them up. Even if the opponent passed the football out, they would not give up. They just changed to a target of pressing.
It looks like Real Madrid players are teasing monkeys. But Real Madrid fans who watch the ball will never think this is good. They are worried every time they pass the ball. They are afraid that the pass will be too big, so they don't stop and let the opponent seize the opportunity and intercept the ball directly in the frontcourt.
To be honest, Hoffenheim's full-game pressing strategy has indeed brought some troubles and troubles to Real Madrid players.
They had to increase their pass rate.
On several occasions, when Ozil and others retreated to receive the ball in the frontcourt, Chu Zhongtian, Sana and others rushed behind them and put them on their backs and stole them, so that they could not turn around and could only pass the football back.
Real Madrid's most proud fast attack cannot be fought because of this.
Later, Real Madrid simply passed the long pass from the backcourt to find their teammates in front, intending to rely on their personal abilities to break the deadlock.
This has some effect, because without passing through the midfield, Chu Zhongtian and Sana basically can only return to defense directly and act as a central defender.
But Real Madrid is not the kind of team that is good at long passes and rushing. There is basically only one Ronaldo in the frontcourt who can win a header. Benzema, Ozil, and Pedro Leon are not good at heading.
After playing for a while, he found that the effect was not good, so Real Madrid changed it back.
Seeing that Real Madrid's offensive was suppressed by his tight defense, Hoffenheim began to pursue goals.
Their offense became more sharp and created some opportunities. However, their forwards were not sure about it.
※※※Chu Zhongtian got the ball in the midfield, and immediately Lassena Diarra came up to grab his ball.
Chu Zhongtian knew the strength of this French midfielder. Although he could only play as a substitute in Real Madrid, he was the absolute main player whenever he went to any other team. His interception ability was very outstanding, he was not tall, but he was flexible, quick to play, and strong body, and stable downwards, which was not easy to fall. Therefore, he could always insert it while you were turning around or adjusting the center of gravity to separate the man and the ball.
Chu Zhongtian knew Diyala's ability, so he didn't give the opponent a chance to grab his ball, so he passed the football out when he saw him coming up.
Then he ran.
Diyala did not give up and continued to follow him.
It seems that it is not possible to avoid it. After receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian did not choose to pass the ball immediately, but instead resisted Diyala's defense. He felt that he would not teach this kid a lesson. He would definitely be endless with him in this game. Chu Zhongtian didn't want to organize an attack.
Diyala came up to grab the ball, Chu Zhongtian turned around and stuck him behind him. Diyala's legs were short and could not reach it, so she could only harass her behind. Chu Zhongtian supported Diyala with one hand and the other hand was balanced, and then he looked up.
Maybe he felt that Chu Zhongtian was observing would definitely relax his control under his feet and take advantage of the opportunity. So Diyala planned to break the ball around in front.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian was still thinking about Diyala behind him while observing. When he felt Diyala leave his body, Chu Zhongtian knew that he was going to defend. So he knocked the football behind him with his right foot, and turned around with his left foot as the axis! The whole process happened to block Diyala behind him - Diyala was circled from the left. He ran around and ran to the front, and found that he was still behind Chu Zhongtian.
He blocked Diyala behind him, and while he had not yet been posted, Chu Zhongtian drove the ball away and dribbled the ball horizontally!
Chu Zhongtian, who had got rid of Diyala, did not give Diyala a chance to pounce on him again and entangle him. He passed the ball with a long diagonal pass to Quaresma on the right.
Since Quaresma came to Hoffenheim, he has adapted to Hoffenheim after a short adaptation period, which is related to Hoffenheim's tactics. Hoffenheim emphasizes rapid offense and makes full use of the wing, which is exactly what Quaresma likes.
Chu Zhongtian is his "leader" in the team. He and Chu Zhongtian have had a tacit understanding after many contacts. Seeing Chu Zhongtian dragging the ball horizontally, he rushed to the side.
Sure enough, he received the ball from Chu Zhongtian.
After removing the football, Quaresma faced the left-back Marcelo. Marcelo has strong offense and weak defense. Although he has made great progress in defense this season, there is still a gap between the first-class level. He uses a lot of fancy fake moves against Marcelo. His footwork speed is high, but he just bets the first shot. If he can intercept the ball in the first shot, he will win. But if the opponent's speed is higher than him, his first shot is likely to be used by the opponent. After losing, he will be empty behind him. At that time, he will have to go to the bottom and break into the penalty area. It will be his.
So when faced with Marcelo, it is better not to slow down, just rely on speed to change direction and then force breakthrough. The practical battles in the past have proved that Marcelo is not a problem with those players with delicate footwork. What he is afraid of is speed players. He relies on speed to break you out from the start, and he will not play any footwork with you at all, nor will he judge the time to break the ball when he is off. If you dare to make a footwork, I will just wading by you.
In fact, many defenders are afraid of such unreasonable speed opponents, because as defenders, they need to turn around and their speed is not fast. When they turn around, their opponents will be far ahead. All they can see is the opponent's back.
Quaresma's speed is not weak, although he does not rely on speed to make a living. However, when facing Marcelo, he is still happy to show his speed.
After receiving Chu Zhongtian's pass, Quaresma forced his way through Marcelo by speed and then made a cross, but Ramos pushed the ball out.
One obvious feature of Real Madrid coached by Mourinho is that their defense is more stable, one of which is reflected in their defense of high-altitude balls. Unless you have a very advantageous height and have very accurate crossing, it is not so easy to grab points in front of their defenders.
Ramos pushed the ball out and landed at Chu Zhongtian outside the penalty area.
Chu Zhongtian did not hesitate at all. He adjusted the football and shot directly from a long distance!
The football flew towards the goal, and this time Casillas made a wonderful save and flew to rattle the football out!
Corner kick!
"Hoffenheim won a corner kick! Chu's shot was very beautiful, of course Casillas defended it very well! Just over ten minutes into the game, Hoffenheim kept threatening Real Madrid's goal! Look at the two of them really plan to beat Real Madrid at their home court! If they can really do this, they are considered big heroes - now the whole Europe is discussing who can beat Mourinho's Real Madrid, but no team has ever done it in the pre-season warm-up match, the official league, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League..."
While talking, Salihovic played the football and Hoffenheim's players were in place.
Central defenders Simonic and Compper both ran up to participate in the offense and prepared to head the ball.
Chu Zhongtian stood on the penalty area line and was ready to attack.
Real Madrid players have basically returned to the penalty area, except for Ozil who is wandering outside.
The linebacker stepped back and signaled that Salihovic could kick off the ball. After Salihovic assisted, he kicked the ball towards the goal.
Chu Zhongtian originally planned to go into the penalty area, then jumped high in the sprint and rushed to the top. But when he was about to do this, he saw that the flight route and landing point of the football were not very good. If he rushed in, he might not be able to hold anything.
So he did not rush in, but retreated instead.
Sure enough, the football was not hit by any Hoffenheim player, but Albiol was hit by it. Chu Zhongtian looked up and watched the football fly high above his head. He turned around and saw Higuain receiving the ball!
He knows it's not good!
The corner kick was just finished, our defense was empty, the central defender was up, and there were almost no one behind. It was a great opportunity for Real Madrid to play a quick counterattack, and they were the best at this!
※※Then Chu Zhongtian completed a shot that made the entire Rhine Neka cheer. As the team's number one star, how could Cristiano Ronaldo be lonely?
Although as soon as he gets the ball, booing sounds against him in the stands. But he is used to it. Except for the Bernabeu, he will boo wherever he goes. This man is booing more and more excited.
As soon as he received the ball on the court, deafening boo sounded in the stands. In fact, Hoffenheim fans didn't really hate him. There were many fans asking him for autographs before the game. Booing him has actually become a "tactic", and everyone is using it, trying to interfere with him, anger him, and make him lose his calmness.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo is becoming more and more mature now... Higuain received the ball from Albiol and turned around and led forward.
Chu Zhongtian knew that there was a loophole in defense and asked Real Madrid players to catch it! So he ran back while shouting Sana's name: "Lorik!"
Needless to say, he wanted him to do, Sana himself knew. Because when Chu Zhongtian shouted like this, he had already rushed towards Higuain!
"This is Real Madrid's quick counterattack! They are the best at this!" The commentators shouted excitedly.
Real Madrid fans in front of the TV and in the stands were as excited as the commentator.
Hoffenheim fans also started to make noise.
Sana, who rushed towards Higuain, made a flying tackle when approaching the Argentine. He knew that the defense was empty, and he felt that instead of letting his opponent pass by, it would be better to put him on the ground now and stay here forever. If a foul is at most, it is just a yellow card. It would be better to let the opponent score a goal, right?
But he would think so, and the opponent would think so, knowing that defensive players would choose to foul at this position. So Higuain was always on guard against Sana's flying shovel. Seeing him coming, he knocked the ball forward, then jumped high and avoided Sana's flying shovel!
"Oh! Beautiful!"
When Chu Zhongtian found that something was wrong, he ran back desperately. He turned his head and looked at it, and found that Sana's defense was not successful, and was easily flashed by Higuain. So he increased his speed and continued to return to defense.
Then a man came in from his field of vision.
The person's back number is "7".
"Cristiano Ronaldo!"
The speed difference between the two people is quickly reflected.
Although Chu Zhongtian gritted his teeth and chased him, C. Ronaldo, who ran without the ball, was quite fast, and he could only watch the gap between the two people gradually widened.
Higuain, who passed Sana, did not continue to dribble the ball. He saw Hoffenheim's defensive center of gravity moving towards him. He looked up and observed and found that Ozil was on the far end, on the other side of the court, and there were no Hoffenheim players by him.
So he directly raised his feet and passed the long and diagonally!
Because it is a long diagonal pass, the football has time to fly in the air. Although there is no one around Ozil now, it does not mean that there is no one around him after the football flies over. Hoffenheim players are not fools, and it is impossible to watch the football fly over and not defend.
Of course, Chu Zhongtian saw the scene where the football was passed to Ozil, but he ignored Ozil. He continued to follow C. Ronaldo. The two of them were now about five meters away. He did not give up and was still chasing.
The football fell down, Ozil faced the football, and behind him was Hoffenheim's player Serna Ozil, but he did not catch the ball, and he did not even stop the ball. He rushed towards him with the football, his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Chu Zhongtian already knew what Ozil was going to do, but he didn't have time to remind his teammates that all this happened too quickly.
Ronaldo came to the horse and Ozil raised his right foot and directly turned the ball in the air into front of him!
Ronaldo received the ball and broke through Hoffenheim's defense line, broke into the penalty area, and directly faced goalkeeper Enyema!
Chu Zhongtian still did not give up. When Ronaldo received the ball, his speed would drop a little, and he would also adjust the football. It would never be as fast as he ran just now. This was the only time he had the opportunity to narrow the distance between the two.
c. Ronaldo passed by Ozil like a gust of wind, and followed Chu Zhongtian and swept over.
Ronaldo in front swung his right leg and he was ready to shoot!
It was too late to lean on it, Chu Zhongtian stretched out his foot to put the shovel and flew the shovel!
Ronaldo's right foot kicked the football first. When he kicked the football out, Chu Zhongtian's foot rushed up and shoveled him to the ground.
Nyema made a save move.
The football flew past his fingertips.
He did not stop the football, nor did the football fly out of the baseline. The football flew into the goal against the post and hit the net!
