Chapter 20 Leading in five minutes(1/2)

Chu Zhongtian's long shot gave Hoffenheim a chance to get a corner kick, but his teammates did not seize the opportunity. After the football was kicked out by Salihovic, no one grabbed the ball, and the football was firmly held by Weidenfeller who attacked.

Then Dortmund tried to counterattack. They still remembered how head coach Klopp asked them before the game - they could not shrink their defense and had to attack with their opponents. Only attacking can prevent themselves from being suppressed.

However, their offense did not achieve any satisfactory results. This attack was over and soon ended with Neison_valdez shooting the football into the stands.

Hoffenheim reorganized the offense.

Chu Zhongtian signaled goalkeeper Ozjan to pass the ball to him, and the Austrian goal passed the ball obediently.

After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he turned around and led forward, and then cooperated with Eduardo, who retreated to meet his front midfielder. After passing the ball to Eduardo, he continued to run forward. Eduardo did not turn around and directly knocked the ball with his outer instep.

Chu Zhongtian received the ball and happened to meet Dortmund's midfielder Tinga. Tinga has played for Dortmund for many seasons and is Dortmund's main midfielder. He has excellent defensive ability, and is especially good at stealing and man-tapping. He is a typical engineer-type midfielder.

Faced with such a fierce defensive player, Chu Zhongtian used to fight against the opponent with his own body. However, after four seasons in Ligue 1, under the guidance of Fernandez, he had learned to use his feet to solve problems.

Seeing Tinga rushing up, Chu Zhongtian first made a move to pass the football to the right. When Tinga moved the center of gravity a little in that direction, he suddenly stepped on the football with his left foot and pulled the ball back. Tinga made a waste, and Chu Zhongtian calmly pushed the football forward with his left foot, then started, and passed the opponent.

Chu Zhongtian, who passed Tinga, did not pass the ball, but dribbled the ball directly into Dortmund's ribs.

When Dortmund's player Florian_kringe saw Chu Zhongtian's posture, he thought he was going to break through the ribs, so he rushed up to stop it. Chu Zhongtian had been waiting for this opportunity. From the time he passed Tinga, he calculated the development of the situation on the field in his mind. He noticed that Carlos Eduardo and he played two and one match with him, ran to the right side, and Weiss moved closer to the middle side. So he looked up to observe the opponent's situation while dribbling the ball. He found that after Tinga was passed by himself, Dortmund's defense line seemed very thin. As long as the pass was appropriate, he could easily find a gap.

So he began to deliberately pull the ball to the ribs on the right.

After Clinger came up, Chu Zhongtian did not continue, but passed the football to Eduardo who was pulling to the side.

After receiving the ball, Eduardo did not break through from the side, but suddenly cut inside. Just as Dortmund's full-back marcel_schmelzer and central defender Subotic both focused on him, Eduardo suddenly made a straight pass from the outside. The football rolled over from the outside of Dortmund's left-back Schmelzer and entered the penalty area. Schmelzer and Subotic turned around at the same time and saw that Weis, who was still in the middle of the penalty area just now, had already received the ball!

A beautiful direct pass and oblique insertion!

"This is Hoffenheim's opportunity!" the narrator shouted.

"Look at this ball...beautiful pass!"

Weiss was facing away from the goal when receiving the ball. Dortmund's other central defender, Felipe Santana, rushed over quickly, intending to get stuck in the position and prevent the opponent from turning around. In this case, an offensive threat could be ruled out.

Unexpectedly, he had just started, and saw Weis turn around and sweep with his right foot... passing the ball low!

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller and central defender Santana did not react and watched the football pass by them and roll to the goal.

What Ibissevic had to do was very simple. He gently blocked the ball with his ankle and blocked the ball into the goal... "goooooooooooooal!! Ibissevic! Ibissevic! This is his fifth goal in five league games this season! This third-guerrilla scorer in Ligue 1 last season was in good shape after coming to Hoffenheim, scoring consecutive goals!"

"Oh...beautiful! Beautiful! Ibissevic scored another goal! Hoffenheim led 1:0 at home!"

At this time, just five minutes passed before the start of the game.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands immediately cheered. The team used their best offense to tear open the opponent's defense line without letting them wait too long.

The Dortmund fans have not yet come back to their senses - the game has only started for five minutes, so why is their team behind? If it is inevitable that a goal was scored by the opponent in the first five minutes, they think that this opponent is Bayern Mu, you may still feel a little balanced. But now, it turns out to be Hoffenheim, which they hate the most, and that tastes bad.

After the cheers were slightly less, the live broadcast began to stir up the emotions of the fans.

The radio shouted: "In the fifth minute, Hoffenheim scored a goal and shot, No. 19 Vedad—"

More than 10,000 Hoffenheim fans at the scene shouted in unison: "Ibisevic!!"

The live broadcast continued to shout: "The score on the field is now, Hoffenheim--"

"One!!" the fans shouted.

"Dortmond—"

"zero!!!"

"Thank you!" Finally, the live commentator was explained.

"You're welcome! Hahaha!" The fans burst into laughter.

Amid their laughter, Dortmund fans looked very bad.

After a moment of silence, they began to fight back.

"Bitch Legion! Bitch Legion! You are just a group of shameless ugly bitches!!"

"Ibisevic, you Bosnia and Herzegovina refugee, go back to your hometown!"

Hoffenheim players and fans are familiar with such insulting shouts and songs, and they have also heard of them in previous games. For example, in the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach last month, the visiting fans kept insulting Hoffenheim during the game.

And as long as you pay attention, you will find a phenomenon - all the fans who insulted Hoffenheim in the game will eventually lose the ball, and the fans of Stuttgart and Leverkusen do less, one draws and the other wins. What does this mean? This shows that what Chu Zhongtian said to Ibisevic before the game is correct - only those who are afraid of them will attack them so unscrupulously, because they can do nothing except show off with their mouths. And truly powerful teams are disdainful of wasteing saliva. They can choose to defeat Hoffenheim with football, and naturally they will not just bark.

Dortmund has been unable to play in European competitions for several consecutive seasons. Last season, their final ranking fell to 13th place, losing to Bayern Munich in the German Cup final. Bayern Munich is the champion of the Bundesliga last season and is about to participate in the UEFA Champions League, so Dortmund has qualified to return to Europe as the runner-up. The former Bundesliga powerhouse and the winner of the European Champions League have now fallen to this point. It is no wonder that Dortmund fans have too much psychological gap and some mentality is unbalanced.

On the one hand, they think their team is still a strong team in the Bundesliga, and on the other hand, the cruel reality tells them that glory has long become a waste of tomorrow. Dortmund is no longer a strong team now, and their road to revival is still a long time to go, and they have no reason to be proud of when facing Hoffenheim. But fans are unwilling to accept this reality, and the team is not able to defeat Hoffenheim, so they can only "beat" their opponents with their mouths.

Another reason why Dortmund fans are particularly angry is the sentence Hope said before the season, which is also the reason why Chu Zhongtian was collectively questioned by the German media.

At that time, Hope was talking about the 30 million euros introduction, citing Rangnick's evaluation of Chu Zhongtian.

"He can be the next Mattias Summer."

Perhaps for fans of other clubs, this is nothing, it is just a very ordinary comparison. But for fans of Dortmund, this is unacceptable. Summer is a legend in the history of Dortmund clubs and an eternal hero in the minds of Dortmund fans. How does the upstart Hoffenheim team match a Chinese with a Chinese? Comparing Summer with a Chinese is simply an insult to Summer!

Summer himself did not express his opinion on this, it must be because of the sympathy. But we are not afraid. We are fans. We can scold anyone we want. You can't block my mouth. We have the freedom to scold people!

In this way, Hoffenheim became one of the teams that Dortmund fans hate the most.

Amid Dortmund's scolding and booing, Hoffenheim players ended the celebration of the goal. After the goal, Ibisekic made the "shut up" action of putting his index finger in front of his mouth. He looked at the stands where the Dortmund fans were, and eventually found even more violent scolding and booing.

On the way back, Chu Zhongtian said to Ibisevic: "Look, scoring a goal is useless, right?"

"Then we will win this game, and it will be a big victory!" Ibisevic said unyieldingly.

"Of course we have to win." Chu Zhongtian smiled, "But even if you win 10:0, they will continue to scold us next time they meet us, and even because you win too hard, they will scold us even harder. So don't pay attention to them, don't worry about whether they scold or not, and don't think about how to shut up. If others hate us, they will find reasons for hating us whatever we do. As I said, please treat these scoldings and booings as praise for you!"

"Psychological effect?"

"No, it's not a psychological effect. It's a real praise. When you hear an opponent insulting you like this in the future, you should laugh, not be angry, because they are scared, and you can easily win." Chu Zhongtian patted Ibisevic's back and accelerated to his position.

Ibisevic looked at Chu Zhongtian's back, then turned his head to look at the Dortmund fans in the stands who were waving their middle fingers wildly, thinking about something.

※※ Hoffenheim took the lead five minutes into the game. This made Dortmund's head coach Klopp very painful. Before the game, he imagined that Hoffenheim's defense was not good. As long as Dortmund could continue to put pressure on Hoffenheim and attacked continuously, his team would definitely score the first goal. Once he led the game, he would be on the track of Dortmund. In the next game, Hoffenheim, an inexperienced team, wasn't Hoffenheim obediently led by Dortmund?

Unexpectedly, it was not his Dortmund who scored the first goal, but Hoffenheim. The goal came so quickly and happened so suddenly.

He was unprepared for Hoffenheim's performance and was caught off guard.

In fact, it is not that Klopp is not good at his coaching level. On the contrary, his coaching performance has always been recognized. He once coached when Mainz was about to fall into the regional league and led Mainz to the Bundesliga as the third in the Bundesliga.

Among the younger generation of coaches, he is considered to have a good future. He is somewhat similar to Rangnick. He has never played in the German top league when he was a player. Rangnick wanders in many teams and has been to many places, which has increased his knowledge, while Klopp devoted his entire career to Mainz.

Klopp is forty-one and Rangnick is forty. Both of them are the best among young German coaches.

In today's showdown between the best players, Rangnick temporarily leads.

What should I do if I fall behind? Klopp does not intend to modify his tactics because he requires the team to play against the opponent, which is consistent with his current situation. If the backward Dortmund wants to equalize the score, he must attack.

So he sat on the coach's seat, saying nothing, and doing no gestures.

It was only five minutes before he could make adjustments.

※※※The backward Dortmund planned to organize a counterattack, but was suspended here at Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian could hit the front of the opponent's penalty area and make a key pass when attacking. When defending, he could return to the front of the central defender and build a trustworthy barrier in front of the back line.

His physical fitness and speed can ensure that he appears in time where he is needed. His bounce and header allow him to gain the upper hand in header competition. German players are generally tall, and Ibissevic is 1.88 meters tall and is considered a "normal height". However, in fighting for headers with these experts, Chu Zhongtian rarely has a disadvantage. On the one hand, his excellent physical fitness, and on the other hand, his judgment of the football landing point is very accurate. Another advantage of excellent consciousness is that in one-on-one defense, Chu Zhongtian's success rate is very high.

All these make Dortmund's players easily crossing Chu Zhongtian and directly threaten Hoffenheim's back line and goal. It is not easy.

Since Dortmund cannot attack for a while, Hoffenheim led by Chu Zhongtian will not wait politely for Dortmund to come to "reciting exchanges".

In the 17th minute, full-back Baker inserted and made a cross. Demba Ba directly volleyed his left foot from the left side of the small penalty area and was blocked by defender Antonio_rukavina. Ba reacted quickly, followed by a small angle and shot again, which was confiscated by goalkeeper Weidenfell.

Less than a minute later, Chu Zhongtian made a long pass in the midfield, Demba Ba stopped the ball with his chest at the top of the penalty area and shot low with his left foot, which was saved by Weidenfell.

After being sieged by Hoffenheim, Dortmund finally planned a relatively successful attack. Tinga made a long pass from the backcourt, Hoffenheim's four defenders failed to make offside, Valdes successfully inserted into the right side of the penalty area against offside, and shot directly from the goal 11 meters away, but the football was above the crossbar.

Originally, Hoffenheim's continuous attacks had already made Klopp unable to sit still, but Valdes's attack made him stable on the chair.

He knew that Hoffenheim's defender was accustomed to offside, but offside was a double-edged sword. As long as Dortmund insisted on passing the ball directly, even if it was offside nineteen times in the whole game, as long as one succeeded, it would be fatal. He believed that the time to break through Hoffenheim's goal was not too far away.

Klopp will regret his decision after the game.

※※※In the 22nd minute, Chu Zhongtian played a two-way match with Eduardo again, and then dribbled the ball and came up.

This time, when he faced Tinga, Tinga did not give him a chance to pretend to shake him, but directly knocked Chu Zhongtian to the ground in the changing line.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the Dortmund fans in the stands cheered Tinga loudly. Chu Zhongtian may be their most hated Hoffenheim player, because "a Chinese dares to compare with our legendary hero Summer."

Seeing Chu Zhongtian being pushed to the ground, Dortmund fans cheered, cheered for Tinga, and kept mocking Chu Zhongtian.

"Get home and eat shit, Chinese boy!"

"This is not where you should come, idiot!"

"Is a Summer who can only lie on the ground and pretend to be injured?"

"Don't insult our idol, compared to Summer? You're not worthy yet!!"

Chu Zhongtian turned a deaf ear to the visiting team fans in the stands, and he got up from the ground.

The referee on duty in this game, Rafati, gave Tinga a verbal warning and did not take out the cards. Then he awarded Hoffenheim a free kick that was 23 meters away from the goal and slightly to the right.

The team's first free kicker must be Salihovic.

When Salihovic was holding the football and preparing to come up to take the penalty, Chu Zhongtian ran over.

"How do you plan to punish this ball?"
To be continued...
