When Hoffenheim players cheered for the bonus in the locker room, Schalke 04's head coach Fred_rutten was instilling in his players the tricks to deal with Hoffenheim - "Your movements must be more fierce! Use offense to disrupt their offensive rhythm, force them to reduce their speed and force them to force them to force them to cooperate with the ball. Our mission is to use such mistakes..."

In general, Schalke 04 did not intend to cherish Hoffenheim in this game. Lütten's instructions to the team were to use rough movements to destroy Hoffenheim's smooth offense. What this team is best at is offense. Once their offense cannot be played, the young Hoffenheim will become impatient. Their originally unstable defense will have problems, and there will be many loopholes, and then it will be Schalke's chance.

"They want to win the winter championship? Then we have to ask whether we agree or not!"

※※※The Karl Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which can accommodate 26,000 people, is full today. Hoffenheim fans will bid farewell to the stadium. Before the start of this season, Hoffenheim, who had just been promoted to the League One, was too small to accommodate 5,000 people, and it was not possible to expand and could not meet the requirements of the German League Committee. Unexpectedly, in this strange stadium, they created a miracle that made the whole world admire. In this stadium, they won seven wins and one draw and remained unbeaten. In this stadium, they won 35 points of league points. In this stadium, they became the first in the league, and in this stadium they will also become the winter champions!

If it weren't for the fact that this stadium could only accommodate 26,000 people, I'm afraid there would be more people coming.

Fans sang loudly in the stands, using this method to warm up on this cold winter night.

On the court, the captains of both sides had already picked the side, and Schalke 04 got the kick-off.

After eleven players from both teams stood up, Gagelmann in this game blew the whistle to start the game, and the last game of the German Football League in 2008 began!

※※※ Perhaps affected by the new goal of winning and winning the championship, Hoffenheim performed abnormally after the start of the game. They did not show the momentum of moving forward. This momentum has been Hoffenheim's tradition in the past half season. They launched a fierce offensive from the first minute of the game, hitting the opponent's goal. Few teams can withstand such an attack.

But today Hoffenheim did not show such momentum.

Schalke played a very good offensive. Just three minutes into the game, they got an excellent opportunity. Peruvian midfielder Jefferson_farfan made a cross from the bottom from the right, and Khalil Altintop nodded in front of the header. Undefensive Gerald_asamoah faced Daniel Haas in the left corner of the small penalty area, but he shot the ball away.

Six minutes later, Khalil Altentop turned around and got the ball in the penalty area to get rid of Comper's defense, and then shot. The football was saved by Daniel Haas this time.

The home team was passive and didn't even shoot, so they couldn't help but make the commentator Stefan_effenberg (stefan_effenberg) who was responsible for the game couldn't understand: "I thought I would see a high-spirited Hoffenheim... They had no reason not to perform well in this game: this was their last game at Carl-Benz Stadium, they had previously maintained a home unbeaten record of seven wins and one draw in this stadium. In addition, Bayern just won the ball, and the two teams now have the same points. If Hoffenheim still wants to win the winter championship, they can't lose at least four goals in this game..."

※※※"It seems that the players have been affected. You should announce the news after the game, Ralph..." Assistant coach Zeidler said to Rangnick sitting beside him.

"I originally thought this could motivate the team." Rangnick pushed the glasses on his nose, "I didn't expect..."

"If you only say money and don't mention the championship, I think this effect can be achieved. It's just that the league champion has a huge impact on the players, and I think they can't focus on the game."

"No, it shouldn't be the reason, Peter. We are not a relegation team and we always have to compete for the championship. If we just hear this goal and are unintentional to play, that's not possible. They have to adapt to this - we are a team that has the strength to compete for the championship."

After saying that, Rangnick stood up from the chair. He walked to the sidelines and shouted in the field: "Salihovic, Weiss! What are you doing? You are too far behind, shrink into the middle! Contact Chu!"

※※※ Chu Zhongtian really wanted to attack, but he had no support. Ibissevic was stared at by the opponent's defender again - Ibissevic is too terrifying now. He scored nineteen goals in the 16 rounds of the league, which was completely "killing gods when the gods blocked the gods, and the Buddhas blocked the Buddhas when they were blocked." No team dared not take such a dangerous person seriously.

Salihovic and Weiss were as Rangnick shouted, too far away from him, and it was very difficult to pass the ball to them, and the chance of being intercepted and then hitting a counterattack was also very high.

Chu Zhongtian couldn't find a suitable passer, so he had to shoot from a long shot by himself. Ten minutes into the game, he had two long shots, which was relatively rare in previous games.

"This Hoffenheim's performance is very abnormal!" CCTV commentator Duan Bin also found it difficult to understand. "Is it because the winter champions are within reach, but they think too much about the various things? Young teams often lack experience in dealing with various situations, which is very outstanding in today's Hoffenheim."

Duan Bin is right, that is, this team is really thinking too much, but it is not because of the winter championship. A winter championship can’t make the team perform abnormally, and what makes the team think too much is because of the league championship.

Are we really going to compete for the league championship with a team like Bayern Munich?

This is just our first Bundesliga season...Kaisslautern has indeed created miracles, but Kaisslautern is not a weak team...Okay, are we the weak team?

Not... Then why do I feel very sudden?

The prize of 3.5 million is really a bonus, and when you think about it, your heart beats faster... This team is really right!

...All kinds of thoughts were churning in the minds of the players, like boiling water. In this case, they hadn't lost the ball, and God blessed him... There were not many players who performed normally. Chu Zhongtian later simply passed the ball in the backcourt to find Ibisekic in the front. Ibisekic was also a member of the normal performance - those who have won all the League Cup champions, probably only the Champions League champions can make him abnormal.

Schalke 04 didn't understand what made Hoffenheim perform abnormally after the start of the game, because they had not started to use the method the coach told him to deal with Hoffenheim... But this is their opportunity. Hoffenheim, who performed so abnormally, never appeared in the first 16 rounds of the league. This first appearance made them meet, which is really good luck!

Schalke 04 quickly turned against the enemy and suppressed Hoffenheim to bombard him.

By the 18th minute, their possession rate reached 60%, surpassing Hoffenheim.

In the 19th minute, Schalke 04's player Ernst (fabian_ernst) tackled Salihovic from the side. The referee's whistle sounded. Schalke 04 fouled and Hoffenheim won a free kick 30 meters away from the goal.

The referee gave Ernst a yellow card, but Ernst was not sorry at all. This was exactly what the coach asked them.

Chu Zhongtian ran quickly towards Salihovic, and the Bosnian was getting up from the ground.

"How do you feel, Saiyad?" Chu Zhongtian leaned over and asked.

Salihovic didn't understand what Chu Zhongtian meant - he was tackled by the other party and asked how he felt? Isn't this asking knowingly?

"Have you cleared your mind now?" Chu Zhongtian asked again.

Only then did Salihovic understand why Chu Zhongtian asked this question. It turned out that he was teasing his previous performance was too bad... Chu Zhongtian was about to run away after questioning Salihovic, but he did not intend to listen to Salihovic's answer. Such a question was mainly to remind his teammates, not to let the other party answer anything. He just turned around and was stopped by Salihovic: "You can see if I'm awake here." He pointed to the spot.

Chu Zhongtian's question stimulated his self-esteem. He wanted to give Schalke a little bit of strength and Chu Zhongtian a little bit of strength.

Chu Zhongtian smiled silently, but he didn't run away, and stood beside Salihovic, waiting to see him take the free kick.

"Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic both stood in front of the ball... But there is no suspense. Salihovic must have taken the penalty. Chu Zhongtian is not good at taking free kicks. Maybe there will be any free kick cooperation between them?" Duan Bin felt confused.

Without any cooperation, Salihovic answered Duan Bin's subsequent actions. When the referee signaled that he could play, he assisted and kicked the football out, while Chu Zhongtian stood beside him and did not move.

The football bypassed the wall and swung toward the lower right corner of the goal!

The young goalkeeper Neuer flew to save the ball and pushed the ball out with his fingertips!

"Beautiful!" Duan Bin shouted. "I'm shooting beautifully and I'm pounced beautifully!"

Seeing the football being saved by Neuer, Salihovic did not hold his head in his hands to express his regret, but turned around to look at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian gave him a thumbs up: "Beautiful."

He followed him to Schalke 04's penalty area and shouted to his teammates who came to participate in the attack: "Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you? Let's throw those messy thoughts aside!"

※※※The corner kick from Salihovic flew high towards the goal, and Chu Zhongtian jumped up in the crowd, then shook his head to attack the goal!

The football passed the goalkeeper Neuer's fingers and was about to fly into the goal, but it was pushed out by Rafinha who was guarding the post!

"The ball is in...Oh!" Duan Bin couldn't wait to announce that the ball was in at first, but before he could finish his words, he saw Rafinia push the ball out and quickly changed his words. "Rafinia's header clearance is very important! It's a pity that Chu Zhongtian did not score his fifth goal in the Bundesliga!"

Hoffenheim fans sighed in the stands, but they cheered again, because the team's offense was not over yet!

The ball that Rafinia hit fell at Weiss' feet. He dared to pass the football again before Schalke 04 players collectively suppressed offside. This was a low tie. If it flew to the goal, no matter who was touched, it might hit the goal... Schalke 04's left-back Heiko_westermann used a difficult move to clear the ball in front of the goal. He turned around and kicked the football out.

But this action was so difficult that the effect was not good. His clearance did not hit far, but instead allowed Obasi to receive the ball 14 meters in front of the goal. The Nigerian forward directly pushed the ball with his left foot, but the football was above the crossbar... At this point, Hoffenheim's series of offensives came to an end, and the hearts of Schalke 04 fans could temporarily fall back.

This series of offenses symbolizes that Hoffenheim, who is familiar to everyone, is back!

"Hoffenheim's offensive has been thriving during this period. It was just one attack but they made them play three times, and they threatened the goal three times and almost scored a goal!"

"This is Hoffenheim. Their offense suffocates all opponents. This game has only really begun now!"

※※ Seeing the team performing like this, Rangnick, who had been searching outside for ten minutes, finally returned to the coach's seat.

The Hoffenheim team was "atypical", but now Hoffenheim has returned to normal.

Hoffenheim, who had returned to normal, began to siege Schalke's goal. In the 23rd minute, Chu Zhongtian shot from a long shot outside the penalty area. Neuer saved the ball very beautifully. Ibisek, who made the shot, missed the ball under Westman's interference.

Four minutes later, Hoffenheim made a comeback. Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to the side in the middle, Weiss made a cross from the right, Ibisevic jumped high but did not hit the ball. Demba, who followed him, was disturbed, and the football hit his back and bounced towards the goal. However, such a soft shot was not threatening to Neuer.

In the 30th minute, Hoffenheim's three forwards cooperated. Obasi passed the ball from the right. After receiving the ball, Ibisekic did not shoot, but passed it straight to the left of the penalty area. Demba Ba broke into the penalty area and received the ball and faced Neuer's shot at the front of the small penalty area. However, the football missed the left post and hit the sideline... Schalke 04's head coach Lütten saw that his team was at a complete disadvantage in Hoffenheim's storm attack. He was very dissatisfied. He frequently got up from his seat and rushed to the sideline and roared.

"Did you forget what I told you before the game?"

He wants to make the team more rude when defending, and in his opinion his players are too civilized during this period.

In the 32nd minute, Salihovic retreated to meet Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian planned to play two and one pass with him. He passed the football over and ran forward by himself without saying anything or making gestures. This kind of coordination is too common.

Of course, Salihovic understood what Chu Zhongtian wanted to do, so he didn't stop the ball and directly used his instep to pass the ball. But while he kicked the ball out, he was also knocked down by Asamoa from behind.

Asamoa's kick was definitely not a rushing ball. Although he raised his arm as soon as he committed a foul, it could not change the fact that he deliberately fouled.

Chu Zhongtian had already received the ball. He turned around and saw Salihovic lying on the ground. He now had two choices - first, continue to attack because there was a gap in front of him. Second, kick the ball out and then put pressure on the referee to let him play cards with Asamoa.

Chu Zhongtian quickly turned his head back and made the choice to continue attacking.

The referee did not stop the game immediately because the ball was at Chu Zhongtian's feet. He raised his hands flat and stretched forward, making a gesture of "the attack is favorable, the game continues."

Chu Zhongtian ignored Salihovic who was lying on the ground and continued to dribble the ball forward. However, Schalke 04's players frequently raised their arms and pointed at Salihovic, indicating that Chu Zhongtian had a teammate who fell to the ground. At this time, the football should be kicked out and he was treated, instead of continuing to dribble the ball to attack... After Schalke 04's players made such a reminder, Chu Zhongtian was almost rushing to Schalke 04's midfielder Englar (or

In front of lando_engelaar, he slowed down his speed at this time. Englar thought Chu Zhongtian would kick the ball out, but he didn't come up to press it. He just pointed at Salihovic behind Chu Zhongtian and signaled that Chu Zhongtian's teammate was still on the ground... Seeing that his defense was relaxed and his surroundings were full of flaws, Chu Zhongtian suddenly pushed the ball to the side and accelerated violently! He rushed over from the unprepared Englar!

It was not until this time that Schalke 04's players realized that Chu Zhongtian had no intention of "promoting style" at all, and they were panicked. The group of people, regardless of their respective positions or targets, flocked to him with Chu Zhongtian as the center! Chu Zhongtian was like a whirlpool in a torrent, rolling everything on the river.

Englar chased from behind, Ernst rushed from his left side, and the person on the right was Jones (jermaine_jones). In addition, in front of Chu Zhongtian, the center back Benedikt_howedes and right back Rafinia were only five or six meters away.

He was completely surrounded by Schalke 04 players. In the center of five Schalke 04 players wearing white jerseys, the blue figure appeared and saw Chu Zhongtian dribbling the ball and hit Huanglong, Hevedes and Rafinia also rushed up.

The encirclement was closing quickly, Englar's hand had already been put on Chu Zhongtian's shoulder, Ernst could hear Chu Zhongtian's breathing, and Jones could also receive the heat emitted from Chu Zhongtian's body... They could make Chu Zhongtian unable to carry the ball with just one stretch of their feet. In fact, they were preparing to do so!

Just when everyone thought Chu Zhongtian would be intercepted by the opponent, the football suddenly rushed out from the right side of the encirclement! The football was like an alien. No one expected that Chu Zhongtian could pass the ball out in such a situation, and it was like a sharp arrow that penetrated the opponent's heart!

The football rolled out between Hevedes and Jones and fell to the feet of Ibissevic who was in front of him. Ibissevic happened to run behind Hevedes. There was an open ground in front of him, and no one was in the defensive position! Another central defender Kelstajc (molden_krstajic) was restrained by Obasi, and the distance was still a bit far... "Beautiful pass! Ibissevic received the ball, he dribbled forward and entered the penalty area! Neuer attacked... Ibissevic shot--"

Chu Zhongtian was still in the encirclement, and all this happened too quickly. Schalke 04's players basically had no time to react. Only Hevedes had just turned around, and Jones went to chase Ibissevic. He saw Ibissevic calmly facing Neuer who was attacking, and then the football drilled through the two teams of Neuer. When drilling, it hit Neuer's calf and bounced a little, but it did not change direction. It jumped into the goal... "The ball was in - it's right!!"

Carl Mercedes-Benz Stadium finally boiled.
Chapter completed!
