Chapter 79 Two rounds of Bundesliga with heartbeat!
On February 3, at 20:00 pm Berlin time, the 19th round of the Bundesliga kicked off, with four games starting at the same time.
Among them were Wolfsburg and Bayern, who had a very dark game in the last round and ended up with a huge upset.
In this round of the league, Wolfsburg plays Frankfurt away, and Bayern plays Schalke 04 at home.
Before the game, according to the assessments of major European media, Bayern, playing at home, won't have much problem winning Schalke 04, which is currently sixth in the league rankings.
As for Wolfsburg, they just slaughtered the Bundesliga giant Bayern 5-1 and their morale is high.
Although the game is away from home, Frankfurt, which ranks ninth in the standings, probably won't have much of a problem.
However, the facts severely slapped countless media in the face, including fans and some German celebrities, who collectively guessed the process and ending wrongly.
Wolfsburg's lineup is exactly the same as it was against Bayern in the last round.
It stands to reason that Wolfsburg, whose personnel has not changed at all, should be able to easily defeat Frankfurt with a big victory.
But after the game started, the fans quickly discovered that Wolfsburg's players were in no condition at all, let alone the energy that they had when they slaughtered Bayern in the previous game.
The goal did not come until the 60th minute of the second half, but it was the home team Frankfurt's right wing back Aigner who helped the team open the scoring.
After Frankfurt scored the goal, the offensive became more ferocious, causing the somewhat distracted Wolfsburg goal to become crumbling, and the fans watching with fear.
Finally, we managed to draw a three-pointer through direct dialogue with Bayern.
Before the game, they never thought that they would lose these three points so soon.
In the 65th minute of the second half, Dieter Heijing replaced Chu Zheng, who was resting.
Chu Zheng's appearance was Dieter Heijin's clarion call for the general attack.
While Chu Zheng was sitting in the backcourt to stabilize the goal, De Bruyne and others also launched a wolf-like attack on Frankfurt's goal.
But it was not until the 89th minute of the game that Marcel Schaefer, who was substituted, assisted De Bruyne to equalize the score, helping Wolfsburg escape by chance.
Bayern, playing at home, also left Bayern fans speechless and puzzled.
Because the score between Bayern and Schalke 04 was also 1-1, Bayern missed an opportunity to recover three points.
Compared with Wolfsburg, which is in sluggish form, Bayern's players are actually in very good shape and have the advantage of playing at home.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
After the game started, Bayern continued to threaten Schalke 04's goal.
Unfortunately, they were able to gain the upper hand but failed to score. They frequently wasted opportunities and soon suffered retribution.
In the 20th minute of the game, Boateng committed a defensive foul in the penalty area and was sentenced to death by the referee, giving Schalke a red dot package.
However, Choupo-Moting's penalty kick was saved by Neuer and he kept the goal intact, allowing Bayern to escape disaster.
Since then, although Bayern has played one less player, it can still threaten Schalke 04's goal from time to time.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
In the 69th minute of the game, Bayern took a corner kick. Robben grabbed the first point and header helped Bayern break the deadlock.
However, the joy in the hearts of Bayern fans has not dissipated. Just three minutes later, Schalke also used a corner kick to score Bayern a goal.
After the birth of these two goals, the two sides made no further achievements, and finally shook hands with each other 1-1.
Wolfsburg also escaped the disaster and temporarily retained the top spot on the list.
Although the three points were temporarily saved, Wolfsburg fans could not be happy.
Because the team's state has fluctuated so much, they are very worried. They feel that if they continue to play like this, sooner or later they will be caught up by Bayern and overtake them, completely losing the Bundesliga championship.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Wolfsburg's state fluctuates, and the problem of not scoring even when winning has been a problem since the beginning of the season.
This problem is difficult to solve.
Because this involves the tactics of head coach Dieter Heijing and the team's frontcourt core De Bruyne.
The core of De Bruyne is too young and is in the stage of increasing the number of goals. And instability itself is one of the characteristics of young players.
Four days later, the 20th round of the Bundesliga came, and Wolfsburg faced Hoffenheim's challenge at home.
After the start of the second half of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim lost 1-3 and 1-2 to Augsburg and Werder Bremen respectively, suffering two consecutive defeats.
Hoffenheim is still ranked 8th in the Bundesliga standings.
Chu Zheng returned to the starting lineup in this game.
However, Zhang Xizhe, who the domestic media and fans have always wanted to see, was still not selected for the game squad.
Before the game, Chu Zheng accepted an interview with a reporter from a domestic media.
The other party kept asking why Zhang Xizhe was never included in the big list.
Seeing that Chu Zheng was avoiding answering, he actually gave Chu Zheng several answer choices.
Hearing whether he was physically weak, couldn't keep up with the rhythm, couldn't fit into the locker room, wasn't accepted by his teammates, etc., Chu Zheng was a little suspicious of this reporter's true purpose.
Chu Zheng knew the reason, but he didn't want to say it.
There was nothing to say. As he expected, Zhang Xizhe's technical characteristics could not compete with Perisic, De Bruyne and others.
As for the reasons mentioned by the reporter, they indeed exist.
But Chu Zheng could see that Zhang Xizhe was working hard to catch up, and these problems would disappear sooner or later, but he just didn't know if Zhang Xizhe had the patience.
Before the game, Wolfsburg fans were very worried that the team would continue to slump.
But they quickly forgot about this concern once the game started.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Hoffenheim's right midfielder Amiri made a mistake in intercepting the ball in the center circle.
Vierinha's direct pass from the wing leaked from under his crotch to behind him.
After De Bruyne got the ball, he quickly moved forward to the left.
Schürrle, who started in place of Perisic in this game, got the ball and attracted the attention of four Hoffenheim players on the sideline of the penalty area.
Then he suddenly sent a cross, and the ball went straight to the center of the penalty area.
Dost was marked by Hoffenheim Bicakcic. He judged the ball's placement the moment it came over and made a very smart move.
He first squeezed forward to the left, successfully interfered with Bichakcic's judgment, then immediately retreated, and then ran forward to the right.
Finally, he raised his foot and kicked a shot in the small penalty area, causing Hoffenheim goalkeeper Bowman to surrender.
In the 18th minute of the game, Chu Zheng saw that Hoffenheim, who was in a sluggish state, was trapped in half court and unable to attack, so he took the ball and pushed it past the midline.
Then it was passed forward to Rodriguez on the left, and an attack was launched.
Rodriguez quickly made a long pass after receiving the ball.
Caligiuri competed with Hoffenheim left back Korean player Kim Jin-soo in the right penalty area and easily won.
He headed the ball back to the right rib of the penalty area, and Schuerle followed up with a horizontal shot.
As a result, the ball hit the crossbar and rebounded in front of the penalty spot.
De Bruyne followed up with a follow-up shot from the center in time and hammered the ball into the goal before Bicakčić and Strobl, rewriting the score to 2-0.
In the 44th minute of the game, Wolfsburg midfielder Schürrle successfully intercepted the ball and then quickly transferred the ball to Dost in front of the arc in the center circle.
Dost then quickly passed the ball to the right rib.
De Bruyne took the ball to the right side of the top of the key and fired.
The ball he shot was like a cannonball, directly hitting the upper left corner of Hoffenheim's goal, which was a very blind spot.
On Chu Zheng's side, he also had a super block that clearly caused an uproar.
In the second half, after halftime adjustments, Hoffenheim's offense improved somewhat and frequently launched attacks from the wing.
In the 76th minute of the game, Hoffenheim used a successful one-on-one combination between Zuber and Firmino to penetrate Wolfsburg's wing defense.
Then Firmino took the ball and sent a straight ball forward into the ribs.
Hoffenheim forward Volland caught up with the ball on the left sideline of the penalty area, and then directly took the ball under the inverted triangle and passed it back to the back point.
Chu Zheng rushed into the penalty area from the top of the arc and came to the right end line of the small penalty area.
As a result, Woland's pass was momentarily pounced on by Benaglio who was in front of the goal post, causing the ball's route to change and Chu Zheng failed to intercept it.
However, in the next moment, Chu Zheng turned to the right and raised his right foot high.
Then countless fans once again witnessed a scene that made them feel incredible.
Chu Zheng's outstretched foot happened to be in the path of Amiri's shot from behind, and he blocked the ball out of the baseline.
This scene caused the Volkswagen Arena to boil again.
No one can explain how Chu Zheng predicted Amiri's shooting route.
Because Chu Zheng turned around and stretched out his feet, he didn't even look at Amiri at the right rear, as if he had foreseen this scene in advance.
In the end, Wolfsburg defeated Hoffenheim 3-0.
But unfortunately, in another game held at the same time, Bayern also defeated Stuttgart 2-0 away from home.
After the game, the German media directly said that this year's Bundesliga championship may not be revealed until the final round of the league.
Although he won the game, Chu Zheng didn't look very happy.
Because his gain is zero!
In the last two rounds of games, no player has dropped talent beads or fragments for him.
This made Chu Zheng, who was eager to obtain the third talent, feel anxious!
