Hoffenheim's lead is actually what Ferguson expected. With Hoffenheim's strength and Chu Zhongtian, Ferguson believes that they can do it. The key to the game is not whether Hoffenheim will not lead or score a goal, but what the final result will be.

So Hoffenheim's lead despite the excitement of their own fans and players, even including their head coach Rangnick. Ferguson still sat in the coach's chair, unmoved.

The Hoffenheim players who celebrated the goal were still excited. They were still waving their fists to the fans in the stands while running back to the stadium.

Being able to score goals and lead at Old Trafford was something they didn't dare to think about a year ago, but now they have become a reality. But to say something they didn't dare to think about before, they have experienced many times in the past year, playing against Bayern Munich at Allianz Stadium, winning the Bundesliga championship prize set, qualifying for the Champions League, and hosting the Champions League at their home court... Every time it makes them so excited. No wonder some people outside call them "landbuster teams". They do seem to be a group of landlady who have never seen the world. But who says that landlady can't achieve great success?

After the game started again, Chu Zhongtian was playing with rotten socks. One of the socks that was worn by Fletcher fell down and fell to his feet, floating with Chu Zhongtian's running, which attracted attention. The TV broadcast specially gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up of his calves, allowing the audience to see how cruel Fletcher's kick was just now.

The two blood marks on the torn socks were clearly visible, making people unable to help but frown.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about the socks and his injuries at all, because Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack after conceding the ball. Their goals angered these proud players. Manchester United is the overlord in the Premier League, the most successful team since the establishment of the Premier League, and they are also the most popular team to win the championship in the European arena. Being led by Hoffenheim at home is like being defeated by a small team that they have never heard of before, which is an unacceptable shame.

Ferguson did not say anything, but the players went all out to fight back.

During this period, Manchester United's offensive was quite fierce, and Hoffenheim had to retreat with all his players.

Manchester United's fierce offensive quickly received a reward. In the 60th minute, Manchester United's Rooney retreated to receive the ball, then turned around and led forward, and was tackled to the ground by Sana at the front of the penalty area. The referee not only awarded Manchester United a direct free kick, but also gave Sana a yellow card.

This free kick was taken by Giggs. Since Beckham left, Giggs' ability in free kicks has been discovered, and his free kick ability is also good.

Sure enough, Giggs hit the goal with a direct free kick from twenty-two yards. The football hit Ibissevic, who was on the wall, deflected and fell straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Hildebran was helpless to see the football fly into the goal... "gooooooooooooal!! Giggs! Ryan Giggs!! In the 60th minute, they equalized the score four minutes after Manchester United concedes the ball!" This time it was the English commentator's turn to be excited. "At this critical moment, the veteran really needs to stand up!"

"Gigers' goal was very timely, and he helped the team stabilize his emotions. This goal brought stability to the whole Manchester United team, and now both sides returned to the same starting line." He Ping said this, and there was an unstoppable disappointment in his tone. He hoped that Hoffenheim could lead for a long time, and it would be better if he could lead until the end of the game. Of course, this was just a luxury, but it would be great to lead for a while, the Chinese commentator, to be proud for a while... Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. Manchester United showed their strong ability and equalized the score after falling behind for only four minutes. As he said, the ball came too timely, greatly boosting the morale of Manchester United, and also hit the fight that had just started on Hoffenheim.

Zhi. It really beat two birds with one stone...※※※ Giggs' goal really hit the morale of Hoffenheim players. After the lead, everyone was very excited, and his mind was full of "We are ahead of Manchester United! We are ahead of them at their home court!" Such thoughts even made me excited to forget the game. As a result... In fact, Sana didn't have to foul just now. If the person who assisted the defense was not in place, Sana would have to put Rooney in the penalty area if he didn't foul. Everyone knows Rooney's level. Once he is allowed to enter the penalty area and face the goal, everyone knows what will happen. So Sana's foul was completely helpless, and he was wiping the butt of a teammate who did not assisted the defense. He should not be criticized and criticized, nor should he be responsible for conceding the ball.

They were so excited that they forgot that they were actually facing a giant team that had won two European Champions League titles and eighteen domestic league titles.

Seeing Manchester United players celebrating the goal, Hoffenheim players were all stunned and had not yet come back to their senses from this blow. The feeling of falling from the clouds to the bottom can easily dampen people's enthusiasm.

When everyone thinks that they have worked hard to score a goal and have good luck, the opponent equalized the score so quickly. People are so angry that they are so angry. After comparison, they feel like there is no hope... When they are proud, they need to be calm, but when they are depressed, they need confidence and encouragement.

The captain does this kind of thing. After all, the head coach is far away and cannot help the players recover their confidence as soon as possible. As the "head coach on the court", the captain must complete part of the head coach's work.

Chu Zhongtian carried out the football that fell into the net, and then waved his fists at his teammates around him.

"What are you afraid of? We'll score another goal!" When he ran to the front, he said to Salihovic and others again: "Pass the ball to me later!"

As the captain, you must have such courage and dare to ask for balls, control and pass balls at critical moments. Otherwise, how can your teammates trust you?

Salihovic nodded. When the team encountered difficulties, he left all the problems to Chu Zhongtian for consideration. This has gradually become a habit for Hoffenheim players. Those new players are not used to it, but the players who have cooperated with Chu Zhongtian for a season have become accustomed to it.

Chu Zhongtian knew that the promises made in words were insignificant. Everyone had a very fragile trust in your words and was skeptical. Practical actions were the key. If you could not correspond to the promises made in words, then your teammates' trust in you would gradually collapse, and in the end you would have no prestige in the minds of your teammates. You speak beautifully, but when you are weak at the critical moment, you cannot become a leader, at least you cannot become a leader who is convinced from the bottom of your heart.

So in order to really boost the morale of his teammates, he had to take action in the subsequent games.

※※※The game started again and Hoffenheim kicked off.

Now Manchester United has learned a lot and knows that Hoffenheim is good at using the opportunity to kick off the ball to instigate offensives. So this time Rooney rushed to defend and not just simply swept it, but just defended it seriously and closely!

Don't underestimate Rooney's defensive ability. He is really an all-round player and works hard on the defensive end. Why is Cristiano Ronaldo so glorious in the first two seasons? It is because Rooney sacrificed his scoring ability and worked hard in assists and defense. Ronaldo was able to freely gallop on the front line and scored forty-two goals in one season. Of course, Ronaldo's comprehensive and super technical ability is also one of the important conditions.

But Ronaldo is not good at defense and does not like defense. Rooney doesn't care about these things. He can do whatever the coach asks him to do, and the completion is pretty good. He can also actively participate in defense on the front line.

Now when Chu Zhongtian just received a return pass from his teammate, Rooney forced him up.

Chu Zhongtian initially thought Rooney was just coming up and pretending, so he didn't pass the ball in time. When he found out that he was entangled by Rooney, he could no longer quickly pass the ball.

I had to rely on my own skills to get rid of Rooney.

In terms of physical fitness, Rooney is not inferior to Chu Zhongtian at all, so Chu Zhongtian could not rely on a simple and reasonable collision to create a chance to get rid of himself. He couldn't even lean on Rooney to protect the ball, because Rooney put a huge pressure on him as soon as he rushed up, pressing him under him, making him unable to bow his waist to protect the ball, and he couldn't look up.

This kind of defense is an action that is on the verge of foul. As long as Chu Zhongtian falls down to the ground, the referee's whistle will probably sound. But Chu Zhongtian is not the kind of player who likes to use the method of showing weakness to fight for profit. If the opponent is strong, he will be stronger. So his legs are firmly supported as if he is stuck under the grass. He did not lean forward, but tried hard to resist the offensive launched by Rooney from behind.

But the action of the two people seems a bit ambiguous... Generally speaking, if the players who take the ball cannot look up and observe, even if the defense is basically successful, as long as someone comes up to help grab the ball, the ball rights will basically be changed.

But Chu Zhongtian is not an ordinary player, and it will not work if applied to him in general.

He doesn't need to look up and know the situation around him. He can even know the current situation on the entire court.

So Rooney grabbed him behind his back, forcing him to bow down, and Chu Zhongtian could still know his current situation. He knew that Giggs had circumvented from the left and planned to attack him. He also knew that Sana was next to him and was shouting at him. The court was too noisy and he couldn't hear it clearly. But his position was blocked by Giggs, so he could not pass the ball to him, and now he couldn't pass the ball through the top shot in this posture.

So what about other places? The closest to him is central defender Pogattz, just five meters behind him, but there is a Rooney between them. What about passing the ball forward? Carrickka is on the passing route, and his position is very good, which is exactly a key point.

It seems unlikely that you can get the football out by passing the ball... In fact, the most important thing to get out of the predicament is to move. You can never get rid of it if you remain in place.

After Chu Zhongtian pushed Rooney with his hand, he gently knocked the ball forward. His posture made this movement a little ugly, but no matter what, the football is moving, and there is a chance to move.

When Rooney saw Chu Zhongtian intending to get rid of him, he hurriedly pushed him up. Because he was afraid of being convicted of a foul, he raised his hands and signaled that he did not push others. If Chu Zhongtian really fell, it must have been not what he did. But in fact, his lower body was constantly pushing forward with force, intending to squeeze Chu Zhongtian down. Because Rooney's hands and feet were not as tight as he pushed, Chu Zhongtian keenly noticed a trace of space.

So he accelerated forward and rushed towards where Carrick was.

Rooney could only speed up to follow. This time he didn't bother to raise his hand to signal his innocence, because Chu Zhongtian was almost out of his control.

Seeing the two people getting closer, Carrick was ready to cooperate with Rooney to intercept the ball.

Unexpectedly, just in front of him, Chu Zhongtian suddenly braked suddenly, and at the same time he turned sideways, and was still making continuous movements under his feet, supporting his left foot, and pulling his right foot back with force on the football!

When he just pulled the football over, Rooney's "sweeping legs" also arrived, but he swept the ball away.

Chu Zhongtian, who pulled the football behind him, knocked the football from behind with his right heel, and then he moved it over to Carrick again. This series of smooth movements suddenly got rid of the two defensive players, which was beautiful.

The commentators also gave him the praise.

"So beautiful! Very flexible under your feet!"

"Chu has got rid of Rooney and Carrick's defense alone. His skills are really not like players playing in the Bundesliga..."

"Does Chinese players have such small skills? Maybe they can do it easily on the training ground, but they can still do it calmly in such a fierce game, which shows Chu Zhongtian's level!"

After getting rid of the two people, Chu Zhongtian waded the football forward. Giggs followed him after Chu Zhongtian suddenly rushed forward. After seeing him get rid of Rooney and Carrick in one breath, he came up to press. With rich experience, he calculated that Chu Zhongtian must have problems with the movement connection and rhythm of the two people in one breath. This is a good time to intercept the ball.

He was right, but that was for the situation where he continued to dribble. Chu Zhongtian did not intend to continue dribbling. When he saw Giggs pressing up, he poked the football aside in advance and continued to run forward by himself.

After Salihovic, who came to support him, received the football he poked over, saw Chu Zhongtian running forward and passed the football over again. After the two of them made two passes, the scene was opened by Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough, and now he is facing Fletcher again.

Fletcher now knows that Chu Zhongtian is powerful. On the other hand, he is also because he is carrying a yellow card on his back, so he does not pounce on it at the first time, but keeps a suitable distance and waits for his teammates to come up to support him.

Seeing Fletcher like this, Chu Zhongtian was not polite, and directly swung his foot and shot. The ball hit Vidic and bounced out of the baseline and corner kick.

Although he did not score, Chu Zhongtian made Fletcher even more at a loss when facing him next time. Because if you go up and pounce, you may get the second yellow card for a foul. If you don't go up and pounce, he will shoot directly like this... I'm lucky this time, and it hit Vidic. Judging from his previous long shot, his long shot accuracy is quite high. I might go in next time if I'm not lucky?

Chu Zhongtian's series of wonderful performances also made the commentators praise him.

Before the game, Ibissevic and Van Nistroy would be the most worthy focus of Hoffenheim in this game. Unexpectedly, although Ibissevic worked hard in this game, he was in moderation. Apart from that goal, Van Nistroy's performance was also unreasonable at other times.

However, Chu Zhongtian used his wonderful personal performances again and again to attract everyone's attention. Whether it is passing or breaking through, he showed an extremely high level. Even when facing an opponent like Manchester United, he was not frightened. He was at ease in the midfield and had the style of a general.

Rangnick was also very satisfied with Chu Zhongtian's performance, especially in terms of shooting. After more than 60 minutes of this game, Hoffenheim's team made eleven shots, and Chu Zhongtian contributed five times alone, accounting for almost half of the team's shooting. Such enthusiasm was almost impossible to see in previous games.

It seems that his provocation method really stimulated Chu Zhongtian, and he saw a Chu Zhongtian who was not very similar to usual.

※※※Everyone is praising Chu Zhongtian or satisfied with Chu Zhongtian's performance. There is only one person who wants to scold the officials of the English Football Association every time he sees Chu Zhongtian performing well again.

That person is Manchester United head coach Ferguson. He sat in the coach's seat and watched the game calmly. When he saw Chu Zhongtian getting rid of Rooney and Carrick beautifully, and then passing Giggs with two and one passes. Fletcher, who was hesitant and dared not step forward, he was deeply regretful - why is such an outstanding player not in his own team!

Damn labor certificate!

※※※ Chu Zhongtian did not score this ball, but it greatly boosted the morale of the team. Everyone saw his previous performance. It was so dazzling that two people passed by in one breath in the midfield. The teammates couldn't help but cheer him like fans.

After Chu Zhongtian had this performance, his teammates felt that there was hope. As the captain said, what if we were equalized by the opponent? Just score another goal.

Anyway, Hoffenheim is not good at other things and is best at scoring goals. We should have confidence in what we are best at. What else should we be afraid of?

Chu Zhongtian turned around and called everyone to come up and serve a corner kick, shouting to them: "Observe, let's continue to attack!"

At this time, the light in everyone's eyes was different. The expressions of dullness and dejection were completely unaware of their faces, and they were replaced by confidence.
Chapter completed!
