Chapter 311 Pickenbauer

The game lasted for more than ten minutes, and neither side scored a goal, but the game was not dull because both sides were teams that insisted on attacking and both attacked very distinctively.

Barcelona's offense controls the scene and advances layer by layer. The exquisite running position and continuous passes are pleasing to the eye. Hoffenheim's offense is fast, sharp and direct. Although it lacks the aesthetic of art, it is full of the beauty of speed and power, which makes people feel more excited.

After Hoffenheim showed their good football, Barcelona was not to be outdone. After a series of exciting organizations, Pedro headed the ball from the back and was saved by Nyema.

Next, under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, Hoffenheim always insisted on their fast attack style, which made Barcelona a little uncomfortable. Especially Hoffenheim players started pressing in the frontcourt.

Ball-controlled teams are afraid of pressing, and Barcelona are also afraid of it, but few teams can continue to pressing consistently, putting Barcelona under pressure anytime and anywhere.

For this game, Hoffenheim prepared very well, so the pressing was naturally included.

In this game, Rangnick asked everyone to participate in the defense. The forwards had to counterattack if they lost the ball in the frontcourt, and nearby teammates also had to come up to help, and it would be best to form a siege.

Barcelona will siege, so will we.

However, Barcelona's walls are not very useful to Hoffenheim, because each player in Hoffenheim does not control the ball for a long time. Since football stays under his feet for very little time, pressing cannot be grabbed.

Especially in the midfield, Guardiola said before the game that Chu Zhongtian was Hoffenheim's midfield core and everyone was required to take strict precautions. As a result, Chu Zhongtian did not have much time to control the ball in this game, and he would pass it quickly after he got the ball. The time for football to pass the entire midfield was very short, and every time, Barcelona players were just about to pounce, and halfway through the run, they found that the target had already passed the football.

Hoffenheim is concerned about fast passes and quick receptions when attacking, which makes Barcelona a little uncomfortable.

Quaresma passed the football to Chu Zhongtian. Just as Harvey was about to go up and entangle him, Chu Zhongtian shook his ankle and passed the football to Sana next to him.

After receiving the ball, Sana did not hold the football and delayed for a long time without passing. He moved to the left and the football fell at Salihovic's feet.

Salihovic took two steps and before Messi came to defend, he poked the ball to Ibisevic, who was retracing in the middle.

Ibisevic had his back to the attack direction and had no way to turn around, so he passed the ball back to Chu Zhongtian who was inserted. Chu Zhongtian received the ball from this position and was already considered to be facing Busquez.

But Buzques posted it up, but Chu Zhongtian used his heel to knock the football to Sana who was near him.

No matter what, the distance between these two low-rise midfielders is very close, so Chu Zhongtian can pass the ball with his heel so reassuringly and boldly.

His heel pass won him a cheer in the stands. It was really a very proud thing that Chu Zhongtian could do in front of Barcelona, ​​who was good at playing with his feet.

"Heels! Haha!" He Ping laughed. "It can be seen that his mentality is very relaxed. This is a good thing. It is very important to maintain a relaxed and calm mind in such an important game!"

After passing the football to Sana, Chu Zhongtian avoided Buzks and ran to another position. Buzks followed. However, Sana did not pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, but directly gave the full-back Serner who was inserted from the side.

This series of quick passes and running cooperation is dazzling. So far, Barcelona has not even encountered football.

I had doubts about Barcelona's ability to enter the finals and believed that they were lucky. After watching these ten minutes of the game, I had to admit that Hoffenheim was able to pass the hurdles and reach the finals. They were indeed their own. This kind of football that would play to the extreme quickly is really something that any team can do.

In fact, most Hoffenheim players are just running according to their respective positions. For example, the full-back is just shuttled up and down. In addition to shuttle up and down, the wing forwards also need to switch positions in the side and center. There is nothing strange about other people's running positions, and most teams can do it.

But why can Hoffenheim do it? That's because they have Chu Zhongtian in their formation.

Everyone is running on their own routes. Only Chu Zhongtian has a large range of running, which can even be said to be very, very large, covering almost the entire court. His running will connect teammates who run on their own routes. For a simple example, the right back wants to pass the football to the most forward, which is usually a big foot oblique pass, but such a pass is not very accurate and can be easily seen by the opponent - because your big foot pass will definitely only be passed to the players on the left side, and defend it.

It is relatively easier. However, with Chu Zhongtian, the right back can transition the football to Chu Zhongtian, and then Chu Zhongtian passes the ball or draws the ball to send the football over. This will give you higher accuracy and will not be easily intercepted by the opponent in the middle. There are also many options for choice. I can achieve this ultimate goal through the transmission of two players, and I can also bring the football over by myself. In addition, as an opponent, I will not know where I am going to pass the ball and how I will do it, which increases the difficulty of the defense.

When the football was passed to Chu Zhongtian's feet, Hoffenheim's offense had many possibilities, and Barcelona's defense had to face more choices. A long pass from big feet was a multiple-choice question with only one alternative answer, but a multiple-choice question with multiple-choice question with multiple-choice answers was passed to Chu Zhongtian.

This is Chu Zhongtian’s role in Hoffenheim’s tactical system.

If Chu Zhongtian had not had the physical fitness to run and an excellent overall view, as well as excellent passing and ball control skills, this tactic would not be able to be played.

Chu Zhongtian is so unique that Hoffenheim has a unique football.

※※※Hoffenheim takes advantage of their rapidity and keeps putting pressure on Barcelona.

During this period, Barcelona was a little embarrassed and they couldn't attack because they had to spend more energy on defense. When they concede the ball in the frontcourt, they didn't even have time to organize the frontcourt siege, so they had to quickly return to defense. If they didn't return to defense, the backcourt would be very empty.

They didn't have done this before. After losing the ball, they did not return to defense at the first time, but snatched the ball. As a result, the opponent passed the football out before they surrounded it, and then played a fast attack. The defense was empty. Chu Zhongtian chose any point in the frontcourt and threatened the goal guarded by Valdes. If Valdes hadn't performed well, they were afraid they would have fallen behind first.

Chu Zhongtian saw the current situation of Barcelona. He believed in "taking your life while you are sick", and knew that if you want to score, then it's now. Barcelona was rushing by his own fast football and was a little lost. Maybe Guardiola made careful preparations for this game, but it was obvious that Barcelona's players underestimate the opponent. They didn't expect Hoffenheim's football to be so fast!

After missing this opportunity, when Barcelona recovered and made adjustments, it would be difficult to score a goal again... Chu Zhongtian made up his mind and began to find opportunities.

Barcelona's defense is not a solid piece of cake.

Pique is a very important task in Barcelona's defense, but at the same time he also has his own responsibilities in the offense. When he can't open the situation, Pique will forward and assist the attack. His forward and insertion is a very powerful weapon and can often receive miraculous effects. Therefore, he has a nickname "piquenbauer". In fact, Pique's idol is Real Madrid's legendary central defender Jero, but out of disdain for his mortal enemy, Catalonian media

But they call him "Pickenbauer". The reason why he is compared with Beckenbauer is that he has strong personal attack power, and because he has excellent ability to organize offense and connect the team in the back row. Guardiola often uses him as a center in a stalemate. In the Spanish national team, his scoring ability is also very needed by the national team. When the team is in trouble, his goals often open the door to victory for the team.

Beckenbauer once praised Chu Zhongtian, believing that Rangnick trained him into his successor. However, he also valued Pique very much, saying that Pique was called "Pickenbauer" was his honor, and he would not get angry because of this. This can be regarded as a very high evaluation.

When the Catalan media was also compared with Beckenbauer, they said disdainfully that Pique was the real "Pickenbauer" because he proved his comprehensive ability in the Champions League and the World Cup. What about Chu Zhongtian? In addition to winning a league championship in the Bundesliga, his resume in other aspects was almost blank.

However, some Chinese media counterattacked that Pique was not a real Beckenbauer-like player, and Chu Zhongtian was the one who could really take over Beckenbauer's mantle.

The German media are even more amazing. They said that Pique could be compared with Beckenbauer, which would make the Catalan media very happy, but our Chu is not comparable to Beckenbauer. He is a new free man, showing a brand new football... First, put the grudges, love and hatred of media in several countries aside for the time being.

Barcelona and Hoffenheim are now in a stalemate, and there is even a slight trend of falling.

Pique will definitely rush up to participate in the attack.

That's Hoffenheim's chance.

For two players with similar characteristics, Chu Zhongtian naturally understands Pikui's characteristics and ideas very well.

He was just waiting for Pi Kui to rush up to participate in the attack.

In fact, Pique is indeed planning to come up and attack. Barcelona is at a disadvantage now, yes, it is a disadvantage. It is rare to be at a disadvantage in the game.

He wants to turn this situation around. Almost all Barcelona's offensive players have been studied thoroughly by Hoffenheim. Xavi is staring at Sana. He had a flying tackle that was almost foul and knocked down Xavi to the ground. The referee only verbally warned and did not play cards. Sana therefore showed Xavi's strength and his dominance at the front of the penalty area.

Messi was entangled by Chu Zhongtian. Although he could get rid of it, it was more difficult and took too long, which was not conducive to Barcelona's overall offense.

As for Iniesta, Pedro, Villa and others, everyone is trapped in Hoffenheim's overall defense.

At present, in the frontcourt, the offense and defensive order is balanced. To put it bluntly, this balance is a deadlock, which is not conducive to Barcelona and must be broken.

The one who inserts your back is an important means to break this deadlock.

He was observing, brewing the opportunity to insert it.

※※※Hoffenheim just ended an attack, and the players quickly returned to defense. This is their characteristic. They completed the attack and formed a dead ball. They would never stay in the frontcourt for a long time. They all had to retreat to their own defensive position. When attacking, they poured down like a surging flood peak. When retreating, they would retreat completely in an instant.

Valdes kicked the football to the frontcourt, and Chu Zhongtian gained the upper hand in the competition with Xavi, and he pushed the football back.

The football fell at Butsques' feet. When he was about to pass the ball forward again, he heard Pique's scream coming from behind: "Sergio! Pass the ball to me!"

Butsks knew that Pique was going to rush forward, so he turned around and passed the football to Pique, and ran back and came to Pique's position to help him make up for the position.

Pikui came up with a football.

Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up opposite him.

The opportunity is here!

So what if Buzks makes up for the central defender? He doesn't take this person seriously at all. He is a midfielder, not a full-time central defender.

Faced with Ibisevic's interception, Pique shook him away just by changing direction.

As a central defender, Pique has a very rare and delicate footwork skills, which may be related to his training at the Lamacia Youth Training Camp since he was a child.

Chu Zhongtian turned his head and looked for Messi, waiting on the right side. Whether Pikui would pass the football to Messi is not necessarily the case. Chu Zhongtian decided to choose an appropriate position. He ran to the position between the side and the middle, just in front of Messi. He used this position to force Pikui not to pass the ball to Messi - if you want to pass the ball, I will be cut off. I believe that with Pikui's football consciousness, it is impossible not to know this.

Then he made a gesture to Sana, signaling him to follow Harvey. Doing so forces Pique to drive the ball forward by himself. When he rushed to the front of the penalty area... he had no way to rush.

After Pique passed Ibissevic, there were only two Hoffenheim's midfielder in front of him. He looked around and saw Chu Zhongtian paying attention to Messi - the intention was too obvious. He was stuck in front of his and Messi's passing route, and wasn't he looking back at Messi? Isn't this to prevent Messi?

If you pass it over, it will hit the other party's mind.

He looked at the other side, and Harvey followed him with a constant step by step Sana.

Further out, Iniesta, Villa, and Pedro are not in the best receiving position.

But in front of me, there is a very obvious blank corridor. In this corridor, there is no Hoffenheim player, who can reach the front of their penalty area by himself. Then face the central defender directly... This is a huge temptation. As long as you can successfully break through, you can disrupt Hoffenheim's defense.

Pique doesn't think there is any trap between them. Even if there is a trap, he can quickly split the football and get out calmly. Barcelona's overall ability can guarantee this.

Thinking of this, he made a fake move to pass the ball to Messi, tricking Chu Zhongtian into taking a step back and then immediately waving the football forward and breaking through!

"Pikui! Break through the ball! He killed in!"

"This is an offensive method that Barcelona is good at! The centre-back is inserted into the back row and disrupts the opponent's defense!"

"Hoffenheim's defense didn't seem to have expected Pique to go forward like this... they didn't know what to do."

But in fact, Hoffenheim players were almost vomiting when they watched Barcelona's game video. How could they not know Pique's characteristics?

When Sana saw Pique leading forward, she rushed up immediately.

When he appeared at a distance that Pique could feel, Pique gave the football to Harvey and continued to run forward by himself.

Two to one!

Rayvey did not stop the ball but directly gave the football back to him, just like a wall.

When Pique received the ball, he had already faced Hoffenheim's central defender directly. This was a very dangerous distance - of course, it was a dangerous for Hoffenheim.

He can play various cooperation with the flexible forwards of Barcelona here. As long as he runs into the space, he can push a straight pass. Or he doesn't need to see the running position of his forward teammates, and just push the pass directly. If he can catch it, it's a final kill, but he can't catch it? The chance of not receiving it is too low. Barcelona players have been playing balls together for so many years and have received consistent football training since the youth training camp. How could he not know how to take advantage of such an opportunity?

Pique lowered his head to adjust the football and planned to push the straight line. On his left side, Hoffenheim's central defender Comper and Simonic had a gap. As long as the football could be passed, whether it was Villa or Pedro, he could receive the ball and face the goalkeeper directly. It would be difficult not to score a goal without scoring such an opportunity.

Just as he raised his foot and was about to pass the ball, one foot appeared in front of him and poked the football before him!

And he kicked the foot and staggered!

The person who ruined his good deeds was Chu Zhongtian!

He stabbed the football to central defender Comper. Although he was kicked by Pikui, he didn't care and turned around and ran forward.

Comper did not stop after receiving Chu Zhongtian's pass. He asked the football to stay under his feet for an extra second, and he might lose the ball. If he lost the ball at this position, he would be doomed... He passed the football directly to Sana, who was closest to him.

Sana turned around and swept the football to Chu Zhongtian who was running forward.

In less than three seconds, the football was passed to the open area, and Hoffenheim completed all the moves from defense to offense.

This is Hoffenheim's attack!

Fast and sharp attack!!

Chu Zhongtian increased his speed to the fastest, and he rushed forward with the football. Because Buzks made up for the central defender position, there was a wide open area within twenty meters in front of him, and no one could pose a threat to him.

At the same time, the real central defender Pi Kui had long been left behind by him!

When Rangnick saw this scene in the coaching seat, he couldn't help but stand up from his seat. He knew what this meant! This was an opportunity that Hoffenheim had practiced countless times in daily training! An opportunity specifically targeted Pique!

"Occurrence!!" "Professor" shouted desperately.
