When Chu Zhongtian planned Hoffenheim's goal with an unconventional pass, the Kotbus players in the stands seemed very upset, but Shao Jiayi was surprised. Chu Zhongtian's performance was something he had never seen in the national team.

Chu Zhongtian in the national team is either just a simple defender or a panacea, a brick of socialism, and he needs to move wherever he needs to. He is not the team's tactical core, and the head coach has not entrusted him with important tasks. His teammates around him do not know his true strength, nor are they willing to believe him or obey him. So he is like a drop of water on the oil surface, completely insoluble in this team.

So some people in the team think that Chu Zhongtian's strength is not as powerful as the media's praise - not every professional player will watch professional football games broadcast. In fact, in China, even many football coaches do not watch football games.

This is the first time Shao Jiayi saw Chu Zhongtian who kicked without reservation. He was free and free, like a fish swimming in the sea of ​​the rivers and lakes, or like a bird soaring outside the sky. It is completely different from the Chu Zhongtian who was dead in the national team... What caused all this?

※※※The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were celebrating and cheering wildly, and this was their team's first Bundesliga goal ever. They had reason to be so happy.

The same is true on the Hoffenheim bench and coaching seat on the sidelines. When he saw Chu Zhongtian send the ball to the air with a turn and pass, Rangnick stood up from his seat. He could already predict what happened later.

Demba Ba received the ball without anyone watching, and then passed it to Ibisevic, and then shot directly at the empty goal... When this scene really happened, he waved his fist hard.

The most exquisite and critical part of this offense appeared in Chu Zhongtian. He turned around and let the football get rid of the opponent's defender. Not only that, he also pulled out the opponent's central defender, disrupting the opponent's originally good defense line and giving the opponent's defense a gap. The most important thing is that he not only created this gap, but also personally used this gap to create goals for the team.

This is why he went to China in person to persuade Chu Zhongtian to join.

The transfer fee of 30 million yuan is really cheap!

※※※ "Oh--beautiful! Chu Zhongtian's pass! The ball is in! The ball is in!" The Bundesliga commentator of Fengyun Football Channel shouted excitedly.

As excited as him were the Chinese fans who sat in front of the TV or were watching the game in front of the computer.

But after being excited, they felt complicated.

They don't understand Chu Zhongtian's choice. It can be said that almost no one in China supports him to go to Hoffenheim. But he just went there. Now everyone is in a very complicated mood when watching the Bundesliga. Of course, they hope that Chu Zhongtian will perform well, and at the same time, they feel that with Hoffenheim's strength, he will definitely be relegated.

Now I saw Chu Zhongtian shake his opponent away with a wonderful turn, pass the ball, and plan Hoffenheim's first ball. His mood became even more complicated.

The better Chu Zhongtian performed, the more they would sigh - why did such an excellent player choose an unknown promoted team? No matter how outstanding he is, his top score is just to help the team relegate... What is the value of such a team worth playing for?

Could it be that Hoffenheim is just a springboard for Chu Zhongtian? With his outstanding performance in the team, he attracted the attention of the giant teams?

But this is too unreliable. If you want to attract the attention of the rich, isn't it enough for Metz? League Cup champion...※※※The teammates are running back, and Ibisevic put his hand around Chu Zhongtian's neck and smiled at him in his ear and said something.

Salihovic saw this scene. He still felt that everything that happened just now was incredible.

I just slapped the Chinese?

And this goal came from the pass I gave him... "Ha! Beautiful, Chu! I knew you could do it!" Ibisek scored the first Bundesliga goal in Hoffenheim's history. No matter how he will be with this team in the future, at least he has written his name in the history of Hoffenheim Club.

But this is not the main reason that makes him happy. What makes him happy is Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance gives him a feeling of being in Metz, being able to meet old acquaintances in a strange team, and being able to relive the wonderful times in the past. This is the most happy thing.

He had no worries about joining a new team, because he knew that Chu was here, there was nothing to worry about. They would definitely go to many wins, just as head coach Rangnick said, relegation was not their goal at all!

What is our goal? It is victory!

Even if this team is now a new team, with Chu, the future will not be the case. Just like Metz back then, she was still relegated last season, but she actually qualified for the League Cup in the second season. After another season, she simply stood at the top of Europe!

Metz can, why can’t Hoffenheim, who is richer than Metz?

Therefore, after hearing that Chu Zhongtian was in this team, he agreed to Hoffenheim's invitation without saying a word, and even preferred to join the team with a salary cut.

For him, the gains and losses are not important now. The transfer to Hoffenheim is a long-term investment, and the reason why he, an "investor", is so confident is Chu Zhongtian.

"Let those Germans who look down on you see, ha!" He slapped Chu Zhongtian on the back with force.

※※※Hungheim became more confident after one goal lead, and their morale was high. He took the initiative in the next game.

Chu Zhongtian's performance in the midfield has become more and more stable. Not only does he control the team's offensive rhythm, but he also contributes his strength in defense many times. Kotbus originally planned to play in the middle while Chu Zhongtian stepped forward many times to participate in the offense. As a result, Chu Zhongtian chased the ball several times, and they gave up this idea.

In the eyes of Cottbus players, Chu Zhongtian is not alone, but a group of people. Because you thought he was involved in the offense in the frontcourt, then you will find that the person who broke the football under his feet was him. He can appear in any corner of the court, as long as the game situation requires him to do so.

If it is a person, how can it be done?

They are fans of the authorities. The TV broadcast and the live audience can see it clearly. Chu Zhongtian kept sprinting back and forth during the game, not stinging with physical fitness at all, and his speed was not slow. Another thing that cannot be seen by watching live TV is that Chu Zhongtian's grasp of the competition situation can allow him to choose the right action and path without running around. Although he kept running for a moment, he never wasted his physical fitness and could always play a role every time he ran over.

This is not something you can see by watching the game broadcast for more than 20 minutes. When Rangnick watched the video of Chu Zhongtian's game, he thought Chu Zhongtian was running around, but because of his running too much and physical fitness, the blind cat hit the dead mouse. In 90 minutes of a game, he kept running, and he could always hit a few dead mouses.

Later he found that this was not the case. After analyzing Chu Zhongtian's massive game video, he found that his idea was outrageously wrong at the beginning. Although this player was running non-stop, he ran purposefully. Every action had a clear goal and pointed directly to the key points of the game. It was like a talent. He had innate inspiration and knew how to act in the game.

Such players have surpassed the realm of ordinary players. If ordinary players are chess pieces on the chessboard, then such players are chess players.

If you want to become a true "free man", you can only become a chess player first. You must transcend the game itself and look down on the game from above the court, and have a global perspective in order to know how to lead the game and how to lead the team.

In Chu Zhongtian, such quality was shining. At first, when he was at Metz, such light was very weak, but with Jean Fernandez's accumulation of his training and competition experience, such light became stronger and stronger, and the radiation range was gradually expanding.

Now in Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian in Rangnick's eyes could no longer be seen. He became a golden light, illuminating most of the stadium. Rangnick believes that one day, this light will cover the entire stadium.

In the 25th minute, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball in the middle and distributed the football to Salihovic. Salihovic made a cross from the left, and Weiss inserted it into the back point and shot directly. However, due to insufficient shooting power, Tremmer fell to the ground and saved it. Despite not scoring, this attack still won applause and cheer from Hoffenheim fans. However, the fans of Cottbus were angry that their team was bullied by the Zebras.

They shouted offensive slogans, asking the players to be braver and defeat the capitalist lackey in front of them.

"We have to look at your attack!! Show your fighting spirit, you are Cotbus!"

Amid the roars of the fans, the home team Cottbus finally showed some fighting spirit. Perhaps they were confused by Hoffenheim's fierce offensive before, thinking that their team was already several goals behind. Now, they were only one goal behind, and the game was not time to give up.

They launched an offensive and caused some trouble to Hoffenheim's defense.

In the 40th minute, Hoffenheim's central defender Per Nilsson suffered a facial injury while competing with the opponent's forward Langlov. After a simple treatment, he returned to the game. However, this injury affected him somehow and he could not concentrate 100% in the game.

In the 42nd minute, Kotbus finally found an opportunity. They took advantage of the opportunity of not being able to keep a close eye on Hoffenheim's defense line. The team's Danish attacker Dennis_sorensen received a pass from left-back Daniel_ziebig in the small penalty area, but the referee Winkman believed that the Danes were ramming goalkeeper Ozjan first and the goal was invalid.

Until the end of the first half, Cottbus did not score any more goals.

During the halftime break, Rangnick praised the performance of the whole team. He did not give a special name to praise him, but everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian can score one point in the first half (the German league's habits are different from other national leagues. Other national leagues are in the ten-stage system, the higher the score, the better the performance. In Germany, it is in the five-point system. The lower the score, the better your performance. One point is equal to the tens of other leagues).

He waved to Salihovic to pass the ball to him, just to attract the attention of the defender Cotbus. Salihovic passed the ball to him and he successfully pulled out one of the opponent's central defenders. Then he turned around and got rid of the ball and passed it in one go. Such a performance is not common in the entire Bundesliga.

It seems that the core of this airborne is indeed capable and qualified to lead the team.

Then Rangnick cared about Nilsson's injury. It seemed that the central defender could not continue to play. Rangnick had to replace the injured Nilsson with matthias_jaissle, who was only twenty years old.

The 20-year-old defender was trained by Stuttgart youth team and transferred freely to Hoffenheim youth team in 2006-07. Last season, the first team played 22 times in the Bundesliga and scored two goals. Because of his outstanding performance, he was not washed away this season, but continued to stay in the team and served as a substitute.

Rangnick did not make any adjustments to the tactics, but asked everyone to pay more attention in the defense. Hoffenheim's performance in the first half was very good, except for the chaotic moments in the last moment, it was all good.

He doesn't need to make any adjustments.

※※※After the second half, Hoffenheim continued to dominate the game. Salihovic also became active with the support of Chu Zhongtian. In the 51st minute, he made a cross from the left, and Carlos Eduardo, who was surrounded by the back post, knocked the ball away without anyone defending, causing a sigh to sound in the stands.

Rangnick also sighed. In fact, every time Hoffenheim attack makes people think that this ball will definitely score, but it is always a little bit worse. It is a pity that makes people feel regretful.

The commentator of CCTV Fengyun Football Channel was also shocked several times. If you just listen to his commentary and don’t watch the game scene, it will definitely make people think that Hoffenheim has led at least four goals.

Just two minutes later, Hoffenheim made a comeback. Chu Zhongtian got the ball on the side of the frontcourt and was knocked down by the opponent. The referee gave a set piece. Salihovic came up to take the penalty and passed the free kick to the goal. The young central defender Comper shot from behind, but the ball hit Tremmer's mind.

Hoffenheim's continuous offensive made Cottbus, who was still trying to counterattack in the second half, so they couldn't raise their heads. At this time, they had no idea of ​​equalizing the score as soon as possible.

The opponent failed to score two consecutive shots, which made the Cottbus players a little lucky that they did not concede the ball. If they concede two goals, it would be difficult to play in the game.

Unexpectedly, just one minute after this attack, Chu Zhongtian suddenly got the ball on the right side of the midfield and suddenly passed it for a long time. Before his midfield teammates could enter, he transferred the ball to the left. There, Demba Ba stopped the ball in his chest and did not pass it to Ibisek on the other side, but forcibly broke through Kotbus' central defender Mitreski.

Seeing Demba Ba forcibly breaking through Mitrekis, goalkeeper Tremer abandoned the goal and attacked.

Facing the goalkeeper of Cottbus who abandoned the goal, Demba Ba did not choose to break through, but shot directly! He calmly pushed the ball with his right foot to the far corner, and the football rolled over Tremmer's side, and finally rolled over the goal line and into the goal!

2:0!

"Ba scored a goal! A long pass from Chu! Very beautiful and precise and... Suddenly! When Demba Ba received the ball, he only had a few defensive players from Cotbus around him... The timing was very good!"

"The newly promoted team led Cottbus 2:0 away! This is really incredible! Although Cottbus's strength is not strong in the Bundesliga team... However, from the scene, such a huge gap still made no one expect it."

This time, the Cottbus fans in the stands did not boo or scold, because they were all shocked by Hoffenheim's strong performance.

They didn't expect that the "Bitch Legion" they mocked could have such energy, leaving them speechless at their home court... Not only were the fans of Cottbus who were stunned, but even the commentator of the German TV station responsible for broadcasting the game used four "incredible" one after another after shouting for the goal.

"Before the season, everyone thought Hoffenheim's biggest goal this season was to relegate... But after seeing their performance in these 55 minutes, how many people could have such an idea? It's so incredible! It's so incredible, so incredible, so incredible..."

※※But the game is not over yet, and Hoffenheim has not yet shocked the fans of Cottbus and the whole German audience.

In the 59th minute, Salihovic, who performed well in this game, was replaced, and the team's former captain Tebert took the lead.

Cottbus also wanted to counterattack, but Hoffenheim did not defend negatively this time, but continued to put pressure on Cottbus under Chu Zhongtian's command.

After the chaos in the last stage of the first half, Chu Zhongtian realized that this team advocated offense in their bones, liked offense, and was used to offense. If they were to concentrate on defense like Metz, they would not be able to do it.

So instead of being passively defending, it is better to actively attack and use offense instead of defense. Facing an opponent with weak strength, this move is very effective. It not only makes the opponent unable to organize an effective offensive, but also can seize the opportunity to score again. The score looks beautiful and the scene is also beautiful.

Under his push, Hoffenheim's offensive went higher and higher, and every attack made Cottbus fans heartbroken.

After more than seventy minutes, Chu Zhongtian, who had created countless opportunities for his teammates, thought of Rangnick's words.

Before the season, Rangnick asked him to practice shooting more, mainly to develop the habit of shooting in the game. The game has been 75 minutes long, and he still has only one shot, which is obviously far from what Rangnick hopes. Thinking of this, he decided to try a shot.

Anyway, during normal training, he has done a lot of shooting exercises, and there is no technical problem.

So in the 76th minute, Chu Zhongtian got the ball in the frontcourt. When Cottbus's players were all guarding against him passing the ball, and when the commentator was also guessing who he would pass the ball to, he suddenly shot!

At twenty-three meters away from the goal, Chu Zhongtian took a long shot!

The football flew towards the far corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Tremmer also made a save.

Unexpectedly, Ibissevic came out halfway. He wanted to hide because he didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to shoot directly, so suddenly. Because he didn't expect that, he was slowing down half a beat when he shrank his neck. The football hit his head, and he rubbed it, resulting in a significant change of line.

The football flew into the goal from another angle... "3:0!! Ibisevic's second goal! He is really the big star of this game!"

After scoring the goal, Ibisevic was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms to celebrate. He didn't expect that Chu Zhongtian's ball was hit by him... But forget it, celebrate first!

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about this problem either. He rushed towards Ibisevic and wanted to hug him.

The Hoffenheim substitutes off the court also rushed out of their seats with their arms raised.

Hoffenheim in the stands was almost in a madness, everyone was jumping like a child in the stands, and there were no one around who looked sober. For Hoffenheim fans, the joy that the victory of this game brought them was no less than when they upgraded two months ago.

They themselves felt at the beginning that the team could be satisfied if they could relegate in the first league.

But looking at this vigorous and aggressive Hoffenheim, everyone's hearts were filled with a question: "Are we really willing to just relegate?"

Similarly, facing such a newborn calf, Hoffenheim, whose opponents will ask themselves in their hearts: "Do they really want to relegate?"

At this time, Rangnick's words sounded particularly powerful.

"We are not here in the First Division to relegate, we will work hard to win every game!"

This is the declaration of an emerging force. It was just before this game, it was ignored by many people intentionally or unintentionally...
Chapter completed!
