Chapter 24: Not being jealous is mediocrity(1/2)
There is more than one person who wants to give Chu Zhongtian a great look, and there are countless Dortmund fans. Because of his celebration after scoring, he instantly became the mortal enemy of Dortmund fans. No matter how long it takes, Chu Zhongtian will be enthusiastically "welcome" by Dortmund fans when he follows Hoffenheim to play at Dortmund's home court Westphalia Stadium.
After the game restarted, whenever the Dortmund fans saw Chu Zhongtian pick up the ball, they would boo and serve him. When did he pass the ball out and when did he stop. Since Chu Zhongtian is a core player of Hoffenheim and needs to take the ball, control the ball, and pass the ball frequently, the booing sounds from Carl Mercedes-Benz Stadium kept ringing.
Chinese overseas players rarely get booed by the opponent's fans in the game. It does not mean that Chinese overseas players are all good men and have good popularity. This situation is because Chinese players are not strong enough and cannot pose too much threat to the enemy, so the enemy's fans naturally have no interest in wasting their saliva on an unknown person.
When did the Chinese TV commentator see this scene? The fans of Borussia Dortmund booed like a commander. He had no experience and didn't know how to deal with it, so he fell into silence.
Later, I felt that it was not good to remain silent so much, so I started to talk about him and completely ignore the boos of Dortmund fans.
When he booed, he said nonsense, "Chu Zhongtian got the ball", "Chu Zhongtian's ball protection is very powerful", "Chu Zhongtian's exquisite pass", "Chu Zhongtian's stopping the ball is very stable", and he does not mention booing at all.
As a result, many Chinese viewers in front of the TV were unclear. Not everyone understands the significance of Chu Zhongtian's celebration after scoring the goal. After all, as Chu Zhongtian becomes more and more famous in China, there are also many new fans who have not watched football at all but started watching Chu Zhongtian's game just to support the psychology of Chinese compatriots.
It was not until Tinga collided with Chu Zhongtian in the defense that the Dortmund fans booed in the stands that the commentator came out and said something that was not painful.
Why do Dortmund fans boo? Judging from this collision, Tinga suffered a loss and lay on the ground for a long time without recovering. Chu Zhongtian fell to the ground and stood up immediately after he fell to the ground. So it seemed that Chu Zhongtian deliberately rushed Tinga.
But in fact, Tingjia wanted to give Chu Zhongtian some strength and actively crashed into Chu Zhongtian in a ball with both sides' chances of 55 points.
Unexpectedly, he hit not a person, but a stubborn stone full of edges and corners.
Tinga, who was lying on the ground, was hit in the ribs, and he was grinning in pain.
Facing the referee who came up to warn him, Chu Zhongtian just shrugged and curled his lips. Of course he knew that Tinga took the initiative to hit him, but there was nothing to justify, because it was useless to say it - the person who couldn't get up on the ground now was not him, but Tinga.
If Tinga knew that Chu Zhongtian had fought with Kana, who was known as the "killing machine", and even let the killing machine suffer, he would not have thought of "giving Chu Zhongtian a little bit of awesome"... As a result, Tinga was carried off the court by a stretcher this time, and after receiving treatment for several minutes, he returned to the court.
But after that, he became much more honest, and had no extra thoughts except for executing the head coach's tactics.
※※※After conceding the third goal, Dortmund tried to counterattack. Although they were already three goals behind, the dignity of the veteran strong team did not allow them to admit defeat so easily in front of the ever-changing team.
Dortmund's head coach Klopp stood on the sidelines to supervise the game himself. Just now, while Hoffenheim players were celebrating the goal, he pulled Shahin aside and gave him the opportunity in person. He asked him to be more active on the offensive end. At the same time, in order to ensure that he has more energy to invest in the offense, Klopp also specifically told him not to go back to participate in the defense.
Shahin just turned 20 years old, but he has shown his offensive talent. Now he can't play as the main player in Dortmund, but Dortmund has positioned him as the star of hope for the future. As long as he performs well, he will get more opportunities in the future.
This is an important premise - as long as he performs well.
His performance so far has not been excellent, and he can even be said to be a bit of a failure. As the team's offensive organizer, he has not created any threatening attacks for Dortmund. He appears in TV close-ups at zero, and many times he is like a person who has not played at all.
What causes all this?
It is Hoffenheim's No. 8.
At this moment, he was standing next to Shahin, less than five meters away from him.
It's Dortmund's offense now, and Hoffenheim is in a defensive state. Chu Zhongtian is mainly responsible for clearing threats for the back line in defense, and the threats he cannot clear will be missed and handed over to the back line for processing. If even the back line cannot handle it, it can only be handed over to goalkeeper Ozjan. Ozjan can't handle it either, that is, conceding the ball.
Simply put, the team's defense is like a filter composed of several layers of filters, filtering layer by layer, from the coarse and easiest impurities to extremely fine dust. If the first few layers of filters are processed well, then the final flow of clean water to the goalkeeper is clean water.
In fact, it is unfair to say that Shahin had no performance at all before. In fact, Shahin also performed, but whenever he wanted to be active, he would be filtered out by Chu Zhongtian's filter... Dortmund is now eager to get a goal back, so that they will have hope in the remaining forty minutes.
Sha Xin glanced at Chu Zhongtian next to him and was a little worried. But when she thought of the head coach's special advice to him, she raised her hand and asked for the ball from her teammates.
The football was passed by his teammates, and at the same time he felt Hoffenheim's No. 8 be forced up again.
This is exactly what he fears the most. If the other party just stuck in the position without pressing it, he can also make movements calmly to lure the other party into revealing flaws, or simply pass the football out.
But if the other party presses tightly, he can't do anything.
This is how I lost possession of the ball the previous few times.
This time is no exception.
As soon as Shahin was about to catch the ball, Chu Zhongtian bumped from behind. The fierce collision prevented him from even stopping the ball, and the football hit his toes and bounced out.
Oops!
Sha Xin cried out in secretly, but when he tried to chase the ball, he saw a figure passing by. In the blink of an eye, the figure was copied in front of him, with a very clear back number - 8.
It was no different from before, and even the result was the same. He was once again cut off by the No. 8.
But this time, it cannot be over. Shahin struggled to chase him back. He grabbed Chu Zhongtian's shoulder with one hand and wanted to hold him, but the difference between the two people was obvious in terms of strength.
As a result, this strange scene was caused - Chu Zhongtian seemed to be running forward with a person hanging on his body.
Shahin himself knew that this was too ridiculous and could not stop the other party at all, so he could only put the shovel.
As a result, the No. 8 in front of him was as expected, and passed the football one second before he decided to tackle it.
Since the opponent doesn't even have a ball, if he makes a shovel, it will be a typical foul. Shahin is not the kind of evil person who uses any means to maliciously hurt the opponent's players for his purpose. He lets Chu Zhongtian go.
Taking this opportunity, Chu Zhongtian instigated another offensive. After the football hit the left side, it was passed by Salihovic to the goal. After receiving the football, Ibisevic shot 11 meters away from the right side of the penalty area, and the football hit the crossbar!
"Hoffenheim's attack...Ibisevic!! Ah... hit the crossbar!"
"Look at this ball... the ball is almost there! The ball didn't go in! It hit the crossbar and bounced out...oh!"
Ibisevic's crossbar shocked everyone from the seat. Hoffenheim fans were ready to cheer again, while Dortmund fans were scared.
Klopp's eyes widened and his mouth opened unconsciously at the moment when Ibisekic shot. At this moment, he thought the team was going to concede the ball again.
Fortunately, God was standing on his side at this moment. The football hit the crossbar.
But Klopp's mood did not improve because of this. Because from the scene, his team was still at a disadvantage. This disadvantage was really inexplicable. He himself didn't know why. In terms of strength, his team was definitely higher than Hoffenheim, the promoted team. In terms of players' fame and club's background, Dortmund defeated his opponents completely. In terms of state, Dortmund has been in good shape in the league recently, and Hoffenheim has just experienced a two-round defeat, a crushing defeat and a draw.
Why is his team at a disadvantage from the score to the scene now?
Klopp couldn't figure out this problem, and he couldn't turn the situation around if he couldn't figure out this problem.
Now, facing Hoffenheim's attack, he really felt at a loss.
However, his helpless state did not last until the end of the game, nor did it last for too long. Hoffenheim woke him up with the next wave of offensives.
He made a substitution adjustment and replaced Federico with Polish midfielder Jakub_blaszczykowski (jakub_blaszczykowski). Boischkowski was fast and good at breaking through, and was named "Polish Figo" in Poland. Klopp obviously hoped that this "Polish Figo" could use his speed and breakthrough to break the situation on the court and find a way for Dortmund to score goals.
Shahin has been completely frozen by Hoffenheim's No. 8, and the middle lane cannot be done, so he can only make trouble from the side lane.
Then he replaced the 34 Argentine veteran Diego Klimowicz with the 22-year-old Albanian striker Bayram_sadrijaj. Klimowicz transferred from Wolfsburg last season and spent 1.1 million euros Dortmund, making 28 appearances last season, scoring six goals. Now at the age of 34, he has obviously declined in physical fitness. He has not performed well in this game yet and is almost unable to run.
Klopp used all the substitution quotas he had in hand, and the situation in the next game was not something he could control. All he could do was wait quietly to see if his substitution adjustments were effective.
In fact, the head coach has a very limited impact on the game. After all, he is only responsible for formulating tactics and making adjustments. However, the person who puts his tactics and adjustments into practice is still the player. If the player performs poorly, no matter how exquisite the head coach's tactics are, it will be useless. For the head coach, this is a profession of "result decision process", and the result is correct, then everything you did before is correct, and the result is wrong, then even if you still have this process before, that is wrong.
Klopp made an adjustment in the 64th minute, and he began to wait for the adjustment to take effect.
But unfortunately, what he waited for was the team's fourth goal three minutes later.
Hoffenheim's right-back Baker threw a ball out of boundary from the side. Chu Zhongtian received the ball near the center circle and then passed it straight. Eduardo counterattacked and went to the meeting alone. He faced Weidenfeller's attacking shot with his left foot in the penalty area. The football rolled into the net from Weidenfeller.
4:0!
"Fourth! Fourth! Hoffenheim scored their fourth goal in this game! Carlos Eduardo! This is his first goal in the Bundesliga!"
"It's a coincidence today. Chu scored his first goal in the Bundesliga, and Eduardo also scored his first goal in the Bundesliga..."
"Eduardo from Brazil scored a goal! The one who assisted him was the Chinese player Chu Zhongtian! Let's take a look at the playback... A very beautiful straight pass, Dortmund's defenders originally wanted to make an offside, but Chu Zhongtian completed the pass before them. Eduardo ran calmly and received the ball, but was not offside! Looking closely, it was indeed not offside!"
The scene where Chu Zhongtian passed directly from the middle circle before scoring the goal is being played on the TV screen. The screen is back and then freezes, repeating continuously, and replaying from two different angles, just to let the TV audience see clearly whether the ball is offside.
After Eduardo received the ball, the players of Dortmund raised their hands to signal offside. From the time, Eduardo seemed to be suspected of offside this time.
However, the slow motion of the TV clearly tells everyone that at the moment when Chu Zhongtian passed the ball, Eduardo and Dortmund's full-back Schmelze were parallel. Just as the football left Chu Zhongtian's foot and rolled forward, Eduardo rushed out, and Schmelze also took a step forward. The two men suddenly pulled away two positions. If they only looked here, they would think that Eduardo had offside for at least two meters. But in fact, this is not the case.
This scene that requires television broadcasting to be seen clearly, the frontline reads it right, which is really admirable.
Of course, what is even more admirable is Chu Zhongtian who passes the ball.
He had already seen Dortmund's intention to make an offside before passing the ball, but the young Schmelzer was a little unfocused at this moment, and did not form a tacit understanding with the other three defenders when making an offside. This allowed Chu Zhongtian to seize the opportunity.
The passing ball without hesitation was just right, and under such a pressing situation, his straight pass of more than 20 meters was also amazing. And this was all about him since he played at Wimbledon, and until Hoffenheim never stopped, and he practiced unremittingly.
This fourth goal was the last straw that crushed Dortmund fans.
For Dortmund players, they have seen many failures. Even if they lose four goals, it is nothing. Losing to the newly promoted team is just a sad thing for a night. But for Dortmund fans who come from afar with the team, it is unacceptable.
Before the game, none of them took Hoffenheim seriously, thinking that although it was away, Dortmund would definitely crush Hoffenheim like an ant, and Leverkusen was the best role model.
But I didn't know that what I saw now is this scene - the team I supported was scored four goals by my opponent in a row on the road, and it was defeated. These fans were not pseudo-fans who followed the ball. They watched the ball for many years and had a deep understanding of football. Naturally, it can be seen that their team lost not by luck, but by being at a disadvantage since the beginning of the game and have not yet won back. They have been like this in the scene, and even losing four goals can only be said to be "natural".
This reality made them feel even more deeply disappointed - why Dortmund is so unhealthy? Why was he beaten to a small team of promoted teams so hard that he had no power to fight back?
Why? Why?
There is no problem in yourself - in other words, they are unwilling to really find problems in themselves - there is another simple way, that is, to find problems in others. It is easier to say "it is all someone else's fault" than to admit that you have made a mistake.
So the reason for this scene was naturally Hoffenheim.
If Hoffenheim's boss was so rich and recruited soldiers everywhere and spent more than 200 million euros, Hoffenheim's team should have been in the regional amateur league, so what qualifications would he have to play against Dortmund in Germany's top league?
If it weren't for the No. 8 player, how could Hoffenheim have such a clear advantage in the field?
Since the culprit has been found, things will be easier.
They are fans and cannot really jump off the court to help the team win, but they can get some advantage in their mouths.
This time they started singing, but they no longer simply insulted. Just simply scolding "I fuck your mom" is obviously not enough to vent their anger. They have to do something even harder now.
"Old man Hope, we know where your home is!!"
Don’t simply think that this is a very ordinary sentence. In fact, it contains a sense of threat. We know where your home is, so you can guess what we will do after we know where your home is.
This is why people will never give their home address to others casually, not to mention that this other person also has great hatred for you.
"Ditma Hope, your doomsday is coming!"
To be continued...
