Chapter 72 The Avengers from the Small Village
"gooooooooooal!!!gooooooooooal!!!" the TV commentator shouted.
And now it has only been two minutes since the game started, and the Hoffenheim player wearing a blue jersey hugged each other with open arms.
The home team took the lead after just two minutes of the game!
"Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to the side, Weiss squeezed out Michal_kadlec and then crossed! Demba Ba shot hard after the ball in the middle of the penalty area! The ball went in! The ball was quite neat! There was no problem!"
"Looking at the expressions of the Leverkusen players, they couldn't believe that the ball flew into their own goal. Just two minutes into the game, Leverkusen was already behind 1:0!"
The Rhine Neka Stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, is full today. Hoffenheim fans also want to see the team's successful revenge. This game started hype a week ago - local media in Sinsheim called it "the battle of revenge".
Leverkusen obviously did not expect Hoffenheim to be so powerful, and he was caught off guard by Hoffenheim's crazy attack.
Hoffenheim players finished their celebration and ran back. Chu Zhongtian was waiting on their way to pass, slapped everyone with high fives, and then reminded them: "Continue to attack, continue to attack, guys! One goal is not safe to lead, we have to score goals and score more goals!"
※※ Hoffenheim's offensive was quite fierce, which made Leverkusen almost unable to raise his head. This was completely beyond their expectations. They thought Hoffenheim had just been tied by the league's deputy squad leader, and the team's morale must be very low. In addition, they have psychological advantages, so they can definitely win this game. Unexpectedly, they let their opponent score a goal just two minutes into the game, and they were immediately at a disadvantage.
At this time, Leverkusen's players want to get nervous, but they are prone to over-exercise, resulting in abnormal performance.
It was not until the ninth minute that they had their first shot. Patrick_helmes received a pass from Renato Augusto, heading the ball but over the crossbar.
After this attack, Hoffenheim was a series of fierce offensives.
In the twelfth minute, Chu Zhongtian was pulled by the jersey by the opponent while controlling the ball in the frontcourt. Chu Zhongtian did not give up controlling the ball. He raised his arm, blocked the opponent's players, and protected the football under his feet. Under the interference of the opponent's pull and kick, he was still looking for a space for passing the ball.
However, the referee Fleisch, who was next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, blew the whistle in his mouth and gave Hoffenheim a free kick in the frontcourt.
This free kick on the left was taken by Salihovic, although the angle did not seem to be directly shot.
Chu Zhongtian pointed at his head among the crowd, and Salihovic glanced at him without any expression.
The referee blew the whistle in his mouth when he saw that everything was ready.
Salihovic kicked the football in front of the goal, and Chu Zhongtian jumped high in the crowd and grabbed the ball before Leverkusen's defenders!
However, Chu Zhongtian did not shoot directly because he was surrounded by strong men from Leverkusen, and he was not sure that he could push the ball in. And when he jumped into the air, he found a lot of things that he could not find on the ground, such as... a clear space!
Chu Zhongtian ferried the football in the air, but the football was closer to Leverkusen's goalkeeper Adler (rene_adler). It seemed like a header mistake. He originally wanted to shoot but turned into a return pass.
But just as Adler stretched out his hands to catch it, a leg wearing blue socks emerged from nowhere. Before Adler received the ball, he poked the football in the air... The football changed from Adler to the goal!
"Salihovic drove the ball out, and there was chaos in front of the goal... Wait... goooooooooal!! The ball scored! The ball did score! The second goal! Hoffenheim's second goal! The person who scored was...Comper! Central defender Comper!! The game was only twelve minutes old, 2:0! Hoffenheim got a fantasy start!"
After scoring the goal, Comper rushed out of the crowded penalty area and ran to the bottom of the fan stands. The fans who held the Hoffenheim scarf high and yelled at the fist. His teammates rushed up one after another and surrounded him. Chu Zhongtian jumped high, pressed on them, and then punched the fans in the stands.
The fans in the stands jumped up as soon as the football flew into the goal, shouting, scattering the snowflakes in their sky, as if there was a turbulent flow in the air.
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!!!" The fans repeatedly shouted a word to the players.
"Hoffenheim scored two goals in the last match between the two sides, but today these two goals will probably not be their only gain in this game..."
"In that game, Leverkusen took the lead with two goals in the first 17 minutes. Today, Hoffenheim only took 12 minutes to return the color, and it was also 2:0!"
"It seems that Hoffenheim's revenge mentality has not become a burden, but has become their motivation."
Two goals were lost in the twelve minutes, and the Leverkusen players had different expressions. Some were confused, some were angry, and some were lowered their heads and couldn't see the expression.
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands continued to stimulate them: "This game is different from what you imagined!!"
※※This game is indeed different from what Leverkusen's players imagine, and they were completely stunned.
It was not until the 25th minute that he had a second shot. The shot was soft and weak, and was easily obtained by goalkeeper Hildebran.
In the 30th minute, Leverkusen finally had a good chance. Hoffenheim's defense line pressed slightly, and Barnetta (ta) made a straight pass. Kislin successfully counterattacked and drove into the penalty area. He was tripped to the ground by Hildebran who was attacking. The referee decisively called a penalty and also gave Hildebran a yellow card.
"Oh! Penalty! Penalty! A dramatic scene happened in the game! Leverkusen, who had almost no chance, got a penalty! As long as they could score the ball, they could tie the score to 1:2, and then there would be only one goal left!"
Helmers received the penalty from his teammate Kislin. He is the team's first penalty kicker. He has scored fourteen goals, four of which are penalty kicks. He ranks second in the scorer list and is Ibissevic's rival. Ibissevic has scored the 21st goal in the game against Cotbus, widening the gap between the two sides to seven goals, but he did not score in the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach and has not scored so far. As long as Helmers scored this goal, he would have fifteen goals, only six goals away from Ibissevic.
"Helmers is here to take the penalty... He will continue to challenge Ibisevic's top scorer position."
When Helmers walked to the penalty spot, more than 4,000 Leverkusen fans kept singing and preparing to cheer for this goal. Although they were hit hard in the first twelve minutes and were hit two consecutive goals, as long as the penalty was scored, there was hope for the game, and only one goal was left, this game was not difficult to play.
Although you are crazy in Hoffenheim, you only have been crazy for more than ten minutes. The next game will be put on our track! Let's see, the little country bumpkin team!
"Helmers pushed the middle! The ball was scored! The ball was scored! Leverkusen tied the score to 1:2! They saw hope again!"
"Helmers! He scored his fifteenth goal of the season! It's only six goals away from Ibisekic!"
"Bayer! Bayer 04! We will definitely win! We are the twelfth person who will always support you! Bayer 04, the heart of the Lions will always be beating for you!!" Leverkusen's fans sang songs cheering for Leverkusen in the stands.
Leverkusen head coach Bruno_labbadia off the court jumped from the ground excitedly after seeing Helmers score. He also believed that this penalty would be the turning point of the entire game. Leverkusen, who scored a goal, would be very motivated, and then take the lead in the away game, pressing Hoffenheim to play, and finally reappeared in the first half of the season, and they finally won.
※※Leverkusen thought the next game would enter their track. But just one minute they scored, Chu Zhongtian used a high-quality long shot to make Adler make a wonderful but slightly embarrassed save. This shot told Leverkusen players that the game was still on our track!
"Oh - Chu's 'Great Chinese Cannon'!" The commentators on the scene were all planning to shout for a goal, but they didn't expect Adler to fly over and use his fingertips to push the ball out. "Beautiful! He shot beautifully, and he was also beautiful!"
Chu Zhongtian also felt very sorry that the ball was saved by Adler. But he was facing a German goal, so it was not surprising that the opponent had such a performance.
When Yang Chen was in Frankfurt, he twice broke the ten fingers of the German national goal Kopke in one game, which made the domestic media cheer and excited. Being able to break the ten fingers of the German national goal seemed like a very important achievement.
The loss of a goal just now did not affect the team's morale. Hoffenheim still attacked Leverkusen's goal, and Leverkusen was forced to choose to defend and counterattack.
In the 35th minute, Salihovic directly flew out of the boundary with a free kick against the crossbar, shocking the Leverkusen people in a cold sweat.
In the 40th minute, Chu Zhongtian was knocked down by Gonzalo_castro when he dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and Castro also received a yellow card. He was the right back of Leverkusen in this game. Now he received a yellow card before the first half was over. Hoffenheim will definitely attack his side in the second half. At that time, his pressure will increase exponentially. How can he ensure that he cannot take cards under such pressure? So this yellow card will definitely make Castro afraid in defense.
In the 41st minute, Leverkusen used a counterattack, and Helmers scored a strong shot, and the football missed the goal.
This was Leverkusen's third shot in the first half.
Leverkusen performed well this season. Before the winter break, he was ranked third in the league, second only to Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich. However, such a team was so embarrassed by Hoffenheim today that he could hardly raise his head.
What makes people even more upset is that head coach Labadia has no choice but to watch the team be humiliated.
The team did not have the upper hand, and the momentum of winning a penalty kick had already been slowly exhausted in Hoffenheim's dream, and Leverkusen's players were also moving more and more.
In the 44th minute, Salihovic was knocked down by Kadletz while dribbled in the wing, and the referee awarded Hoffenheim a free kick.
This was originally a very ordinary penalty, but Leverkusen's defender seemed excited. They believed that the referee was interested in favor of the home team and was unfair in many of the penalty points. But in fact, Kadletz did make a foul. He did not hit the football in the first kick, and swept down Salihovic from behind on the second heel.
Leverkusen's central defender Eenrique also received a yellow card for protesting the referee. Now two people on the team's defense line took a yellow card, which would be more difficult for the team to play in the second half... Salihovic planned to attack directly, but the free kick he kicked was walled.
Because Salihovic shot directly, Chu Zhongtian did not squeeze into the goal, so he stood in the center of the front of the penalty area, but it was slightly behind Salihovic's position.
When the football kicked by Salihovic hit the wall and bounced back, it happened to fall to Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian used his chest to remove the football in the air, and then he swung his right leg without waiting for the football to land - directly volleying!
Salihovic's free kick is twenty-two meters away from the goal, and Chu Zhongtian's current position is nearly thirty meters away from the goal.
As soon as the football fell to a point below the knee, it was hit by Chu Zhongtian's right foot, and then flew to the goal flat!
This long-range shot does not fly up like other long-range shots. Chu Zhongtian's shot hit the football flat, so the football also flew over the football flat, which really means "cannon".
"Chu's long shot--"
The Leverkusen man wall that blocked Salihovic had just dispersed when they saw the football rushing over again. This time they had no time and could no longer organize the man wall. The football passed between Leverkusen's captain Rollfez and Augusto, and they had no reaction.
Then the football rushed into the penalty area, and the penalty area was full of people, but the football still did not meet anyone. Some people raised their legs completely reflexively, and the football got past.
When Adler saw the football breaking through the many obstacles and it was already in front of him, it was too late to do it again. He had only done halfway through the action of pressing down his body to pounce the ball, and the football hit his arm.
The football hit Adler's arm and jumped up again, and flew directly into the goal behind the German goal... "The ball is in!" Duan Bin cheered in the studio in Beijing.
"goooooal!" The electronic screen on the scene played an animation indicating the goal.
"World Wave!" the Bundesliga commentator exclaimed. "Thirty meters long shot! Chu shot through Adler's ten fingers! Such a goal is really wonderful! Of course, it is not the case for Adler... Hoffenheim expanded their lead to two goals again! 3:1! Hoffenheim looks like he is invincible!"
"This goal is so exciting! It also hits Leverkusen's morale! Look at their expressions after conceding the ball - not angry, but helpless! Adler shook his head. He was unprepared for such a sudden shot. Although he had made a save, Chu Zhongtian's shot was too fast! Ah, the speed has been counted... 107 kilometers per hour! It's amazing! This is the fastest shot among all Chu Zhongtian's shots!"
"Greater Chinese Cannon!!" the German commentator shouted. "The speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, Adler, you lost this goal!"
After scoring the goal, Chu Zhongtian was also very excited. He didn't expect that his volleyball shot would actually make a world wave. You should know that this kind of ball is hard to come by. Now he can't shoot so beautifully if he gets a kick. Such a ball will appear precious and will also make the goal scorer even more excited.
As soon as he was excited, he took off his jersey. Only then did everyone notice that on the night when the temperature reached sub-zero, he did not wear a thermal underwear in the jersey like other players, but only wore a long-sleeved jersey. Now after taking off the only autumn jacket on his body, he celebrated the victory with his naked muscles and strong upper body. Everyone clearly saw his six-pack abs... "Wow!" Duan Bin shouted. "Chu Zhongtian was really excited after scoring the goal. He took off his top, haha! He was going to take a yellow card, but it was worth it for a yellow card to exchange for a world wave!"
It was indeed worth it. Chu Zhongtian took off his clothes to celebrate the goal and then received a yellow card warning from referee Fleisch, but he ignored the referee and put on the jersey and ran back.
He doesn't care, but someone cares. The Hoffenheim fans in the stands booed the referee. Maybe Duan Bin doesn't remember it, but the Hoffenheim fans remember clearly about their captain's incident. This is Chu Zhongtian's fourth yellow card. If he eats another one, he will be automatically suspended for one game because of accumulating five yellow cards... Chu Zhongtian just scored the goal and was extremely excited. He didn't think so much. Even if he thought about it, he wouldn't remember how he took a few yellow cards...※※※ At the end of the first half, Leverkusen asked Hoffenheim to score in such a way to boost morale, and they suffered a very serious blow. I don't know how the next game was finished. I went to the midfielder in a daze.
During the halftime break, Rabadia scolded everyone and hoped to cheer up the team.
At the beginning of the second half, he replaced two people in a row. He replaced thomas_zdebel with lukas_sinkiewicz. This was a counter-substitution. Both of them played defensive midfielder, but Hinkivic was younger than Idbell. At the same time, he replaced angelos_charisteas with Greek high center Charlesteas to replace the average performance Kislin.
Unexpectedly, Hoffenheim reappeared the opening scene of the first half just as the second half began - in the 46th minute, Salihovic took a corner kick from the left and Adler attacked, but Leverkusen's defense actually allowed the short Weiss to grab the ball at the front point. Weiss headed the ball and the football flew into the goal from Adler! Because all this happened too quickly, Castro, who was guarding the front point, had no reaction!
4:1!
Chapter completed!
