Chapter 74 The Derby in Bafu(1/2)

Emily gave Chu Zhongtian a small matter. She called Chu Zhongtian the day before and said that she would definitely not be able to come. In fact, her vacation has been arranged. She basically has no job in the next two weeks. She only has two advertisements to shoot, and they are all filmed in Europe, one in France and the other in Italy, so she can stay in Germany for at least one and a half weeks.

In order to give Chu Zhongtian a surprise, she deliberately said that she could not come. As a result, Chu Zhongtian was very depressed.

This is of course the best Valentine's Day gift he has received in 25 years, a living person... With Emily's company, Chu Zhongtian instantly regained his fighting spirit and performed particularly active in the team's training. The day before, he was teasing Chu Zhongtian, who could only celebrate Valentine's Day alone, also felt strange when he saw such a fighting spirit and a happy aura. It was not until they saw a report from gossip entertainment magazine that Emily appeared in Mannheim shopping that she realized - it turned out that the captain's girlfriend is here, no wonder...※※※※Hoffenheim will usher in the derby of Bawu State, and they challenged the strong team of this state away, Stuttgart. The last time the two sides fought, they tied 0:0, which was also the only game Hoffenheim has not scored so far.

The special significance of this game is definitely more than just a "Bahanda derby".

Hoffenheim has a lot of relationship with Stuttgart. Five players in Hoffenheim's first team have played in Stuttgart, and even their head coach Rangnick has played and coached in Stuttgart. In addition, former German national team head coach and current Bayern Munich coach Jurgen Klinsmann was born in Goppingen near Stuttgart, and the current national team head coach Löw are both Schwabians. The shrewd and hardworking Schwabians are workaholics, and now they are influencing the country's football.

In the first half of the season, some media said that Hoffenheim won the winter championship, and the one he should be thanked the most was Stuttgart.

But Stuttgart must not want such gratitude, because they themselves "cultivated" a strong enemy of Bawu State. In the past, Bawu State was completely their world, and Karlsruhe and Freiburg could not pose a threat to them at all.

This game is a "revisiting the old place" for many people in Hoffenheim, among which goalkeeper Hildebrand is the most touched. Since he won the league championship game for Stuttgart, he has not returned to Stuttgart's home court Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 544 days.

Hildebran is the most keen player to go back to the game. He seems to want the people in Stuttgart to see that he is doing well now, not the legendary Thiem who is down and out in Valencia.

But he was too excited and injured during training. His pubic contusion was not yet correct, and there were signs of aggravation during training. Rangnick did not dare to neglect him and quickly asked him to stop the team training and went to the team doctor to deal with the injury.

It is not yet known whether he can catch up with the Bawu derby.

But this blow was not light for Hildebran himself. He was like a defeated rooster, dejected and lost all his fighting spirit at once.

His injury has a great blow to Hoffenheim's defense line. The main goalkeeper cannot play, which has a great impact on which team, not to mention that the goalkeeper is the weakest link in Hoffenheim's team.

So Daniel Haas is likely to be ordered again in danger. Originally, the team bought Hildebrand, Haas had to go back to the bench. Unexpectedly, he had only played three rounds of league games, and he had already played a game and a half... The game against Stuttgart was held on the afternoon of February 21st local time.

Hildebran ultimately failed to catch up with the game.

This derby battle did not disappoint people's previous expectations. Both sides played passionately and were not conservative. Despite the hidden dangers in the defense, Rangnick still asked the team to attack away.

The game was caught in a fast pace of high confrontation from the beginning. Hoffenheim was the first to attack. They turned away from home at the beginning of the game. Chu Zhongtian's long shot was blocked by Stuttgart defender Khalid_boulahrouz and then Salihovic took a tactical corner kick, and Baker's cross was directly confiscated by Jens_lehmann.

In the 24th minute, Hoffenheim, who had been attacking wildly, finally received a reward. During the attack, Chu Zhongtian suddenly passed the ball on the left and transferred the ball to the right. When Baker, who was plugging in the high speed, there was not even a Stuttgart player around him. Stuttgart did not expect Chu Zhongtian's transfer to be so sudden and decisive and accurate. Baker made a cross but not a high ball, but a low ball. Senegalese shooter Demba Ba got rid of Bolaruze's defense after receiving the ball in the penalty area, and then half turned around and shot with his right foot! Although Lehman saved the ball, the distance was too close and he could not do anything to stop the football from entering, 1:0! Hoffenheim took the lead!

More than 6,000 Hoffenheim fans who came with the team in the stands cheered and were happy that the team led the big brother of Bawu State.

But Hoffenheim's celebration did not last long. Two minutes later, Stuttgart equalized the score. They caught Hoffenheim's own mistake in the defense line. Baker was hesitant when he dribbled the ball in the backcourt. Chu Zhongtian greeted him next to him, but he was distracted and the ball was cut off. Chu Zhongtian rushed to defend. Mario Gomez, who intercepted the ball, wisely poked the football out before he came. Brazilian forward Cacau received the pass from Gomez and drove straight into the shot, scoring the score, which tied the score to 1:1.

After conceding the ball, Chu Zhongtian ran to Baker and asked: "What's wrong with you, Andres?"

Baker shook his head speechless.

At this time, a cheer rang out in the stands of the Stuttgart fans beside him: "Thank you, Andres!"

"Because this is a game back to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium?" Chu Zhongtian patted his shoulder. "Don't think so much, concentrate on the game!" Chu Zhongtian himself never became in a trance because he returned to the old game. He would only perform harder and more vigorously, because this is the side he wants to show to his old friends - I am living well in other places now, so you don't have to worry about it.

The on-site commentator's opinion on Stuttgart being able to equalize the score so quickly is that all the credit is on Baker's side. "Has he been homesick?" Andres Baker is a German, but his birthplace is not in Stuttgart, but in Kemerovo, Russia. However, Baker, who has been training and playing football in Stuttgart youth and youth teams, for him, Stuttgart is his second hometown. He calls himself "Schwabian".

"Okay, Schwaben, cheer up! Take out Schwaben's momentum!" Chu Zhongtian slapped Baker hard behind the back.

※※※After Stuttgart equalized the score, his morale was greatly boosted. Hoffenheim still wanted to attack, but faced tremendous pressure. As the team's commander, Chu Zhongtian had to control the rhythm and slow down the team's speed and slow down.

But in the 32nd minute, Stuttgart still took the lead. In the sports battle, they slowed down the pace because Chu Zhongtian led the team to shrink their defense and did not have any good chances. However, Chu Zhongtian could not defend against corner kicks in this set.

Simach (jan_simak) took a free kick from the left, and Hoffenheim made a mistake while defending, and the clearance was not far away, allowing Stuttgart's players to get the ball. Serdar_tasci made a cross from the right, Mario Gomez, who was 1.89 meters tall, grabbed the spot, headed the ball, scored his twelfth goal of the season, and also helped Stuttgart overtake the score.

As the first half was about to end, Hoffenheim also seized the mistake on Stuttgart's defense and made a high-quality counterattack. Ludovic_magnin's casual pass in the midfield was cut off by Chu Zhongtian, who had a premonition. Then he did not dribble the ball, but directly passed Demba Ba on the front line. The Senegalese shooter drove the ball and drove straight in, facing Leman's attack with his left foot push shot at the edge of the penalty area, and the football rushed into the far corner of the goal, 2:2!

During the break, Rangnick criticized the team's defense, but he had no better way. The energy for supplementation during the winter break was limited. At the same time, this team had long been accustomed to the style of offensive football, and was never meticulous enough in defense, and had no habit of defense. A team that values ​​defense and another team that does not value defense have different performance mistakes in defense, even if the latter has more star players on the defense than the former. Not to mention that Hoffenheim has no star players on the defense line.

And... The improvement of defense is not a matter of one day or one night. It requires players to gradually establish attention in daily training. Now they can only play just like this, using their sharpest offense to cover up the defensive problems... So although Rangnick criticized the team's defense, he still let the team attack hard and score more goals in the second half. Today, Hoffenheim, football philosophy is to put it bluntly, "No matter how many goals the opponent scores, it doesn't matter, as long as we always score more goals than our opponents."

However, the second half also developed like this, from the 63rd minute to the 66th minute, each of them scored a goal in three minutes. In reality, Stuttgart once again overtook the score, Gomez successfully counterattacked, and Haas calmly shot the scoring, scoring his thirteenth goal of the season.

Then three minutes later, Hoffenheim returned with a color, Yaisler made a long pass from the left, and Demba Ba also succeeded in offside. Tashche, who leaned against close to the press, scored 3:3 against Lehman's tackle!

"Hoffenheim equalized the score for the second time! This game was really fierce! Stuttgart led twice, and Hoffenheim equalized twice! Demba Ba scored a hat trick! This is his first hat trick this season! Even Ibisek did not do it, but he did it!"

"It's really worthy of being the new Bawu State Derby! The game was very exciting. No matter what the final result was, it was a beautiful game for us Chinese fans!"

Stuttgart's home court, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, was full today, and 55,896 spectators were squeezed in. Everyone paid great attention to this Bawu State derby, and the warm atmosphere on the scene made the derby look like that. Stuttgart has always lacked opponents in Bawu State, and now Hoffenheim's strong rise has made the Stuttgarts no longer lonely. Of course, it is hard to say whether they like this feeling of no longer loneliness... ※※※In less than 70 minutes of the game, both sides played 3:3, and no one had any plans to stop - kidding, the game was played like this, why should we stop? The team that scored another goal is very likely to win, and there is little time left for the side that lagged behind to equalize the score.

There were two times in this game when the opponent scored just a goal, and the side behind quickly equalized the score. The first time was Hoffenheim just led, and Stuttgart equalized the score two minutes later. The second time was Stuttgart just led, and Hoffenheim just equalized the score three minutes later.

But as the saying goes, it's not a matter of three. It's impossible for a situation where the other side equalized just after scoring a goal... With this idea, the two teams did not want to shrink their defense and defend a tie at all, but instead presented a wonderful offensive battle to everyone at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Both coaches made very bold substitutions, Stuttgart head coach Markus_babbel replaced centre-back Tashche with young attacking midfielder Martin_lanig.

Rangnick replaced Weiss with Sanogo and once again used the crazy style of four forwards, with the purpose of naturally strengthening the offense.

"...This is Stuttgart's attack...Hilbert (roberto_hilbert) made a cross, Ranich headed the ball! He didn't hit the front part, so he tilted out... What a pity!"

"Chu's long shot! He hits high! He suddenly takes a long shot at a distance of twenty-five meters away from the goal. If it hits within the frame, it's hard to say whether the old goalkeeper Leman can react..."

"Chu Zhongtian's long pass... is beautiful! Very accurate. He accurately found Sanogo in the penalty area! Oh! What a pity... Sanogo didn't stop the ball well, and this ball made Lehman easily get..."

"Ranich fell in front of Hoffenheim's penalty area! He was asking for a free kick, and the referee's whistle also sounded, but he was not given a free kick, but a... yellow card! He pretended to fall! Stuttgart's head coach Babel was very dissatisfied with this penalty..."

"This is Hoffenheim's opportunity. In the 90th minute of the game, they got a free kick near the right side of the penalty area... Salihovic came up to take the penalty... Will he make a cross? Oh! No, shoot directly! Lehman! Beautiful pounce, he blocked the ball from the near post! Stuttgart defended very embarrassedly during this period. Hoffenheim's offensive was very strong. By the last moment of the game, they could still run so fast that Stuttgart could not keep up with the rhythm..."

At this point, the score is still 0:0, and the injury time is three minutes. It seems that the Bawu State derby is likely to end with a score of 3:3.

"The draw is actually good, especially a draw with six goals in total. This kind of game is very intense, just like the game between Hoffenheim and Bayern, the whole game is a high-tempo confrontation... I found that any game that Hoffenheim participated in is very fast, and they have the style of a European team..."

"The draw is fair to both sides, Stuttgart plays well, and Hoffenheim is great. No matter who wins, it seems to be a bit unfair to the other side..."

The commentators have already begun to explain the draw in the game.

※※※When they said this, the situation changed suddenly!

In the second minute of injury time, Chu Zhongtian originally got the ball in the midfield, but when he looked around for a week and found that there was no good passing route and the opponent's pressing against him was not as tight as before, he suddenly changed his mind.

Perhaps the Stuttgart players thought that there was one minute left before the end of the game and Hoffenheim would not be able to score another goal anyway, so they were not as tight as before.

Chu Zhongtian decided to dribble the ball and only kill the opponent's penalty area.

His sudden dribbling was beyond the expectations of Stuttgart players. When he rushed to the 30-meter area, they started to block it in a hurry.

Although Chu Zhongtian's footwork is not the world's top, he has been honing his skills in Ligue 1 for four seasons and is also a top-notch expert in the Bundesliga... Under the blocking of two or three people, he was like playing a racing game, dodging left and right, and drilling through the three legs that intercepted him!

First, he tapped his left foot, dodged the first person, followed by his right foot and then dunked back, dodged the second person, and faced the third person's block, Chu Zhongtian's left foot pushed the ball outward, and jumped up and dodged the opponent's fallen tackle. In this way, he had entered the penalty area!

"It seems that the game is about to end with a draw... Chu Zhongtian! It was Chu Zhongtian who was driving the ball! He moved forward! One! Two! Three!!" Duan Bin suddenly became excited. Unexpectedly, when the game was about to end, he unexpectedly caused a sudden stir in the game.

Hoffenheim looks like he scored a goal in the last moment of the game!

"Damn it, stop him!" goalkeeper Leman shouted.

Everyone was not mentally prepared for Chu Zhongtian's continuous breakthrough of more than 30 meters at the last moment. He watched him rush into the penalty area!

Chu Zhongtian entered the penalty area, and now he only had one thought in his mind - shot! He didn't want anything except shots, he just wanted to score a goal and win!

Just as he was swinging his legs and planning to shoot, the Stuttgart player suddenly rushed from the side and knocked him to the ground!

"It's down...the penalty kick!the penalty kick!!" Duan Bin shouted desperately.

"Oh, God! It's Manian! He knocked down Hoffenheim's captain! The referee's whistle sounded! He ran to the penalty area and pointed at...the penalty spot! This is a penalty! At the end of the game, Hoffenheim won a penalty! It's so dramatic! The players in Stuttgart couldn't believe it, they surrounded the referee Kenput. They thought this penalty was false, and Chu must have fallen...is it a fake fall? Let's see the slow release...ahha, slow release shows that there is no problem with this penalty, Manian foolishly knocked down Chu!"

Stuttgart players naturally had to surround the referee to protest, while Hoffenheim players rushed up to pull up the fallen Chu Zhongtian and hugged him to celebrate.

"Beautiful job, Chu!"

"They were all stunned now! Haha!"

"The last minute penalty and the last minute reversal are so cool!!"

Some people also took the opportunity to put forward their own ideas: "I think Chu Lai should take the penalty kick, and this is what he won for us!"

Someone looked at Salihovic - he was the first penalty kicker in the team.

Salihovic shrugged: "I don't care."

Since the first penalty kicker had no objection, Chu Zhongtian himself was not pretentious. He took the ball and then walked towards the penalty kick point.

On the other side, the Stuttgart negotiations did not work. When the game was about to end, when the score between the two sides was tied 3:3, and when such a critical and sensitive time, the referee dared to award a penalty, which means he is confident that he will not change the penalty because of your protest.

He waved his hand to disperse the Stuttgart players and even showed a yellow card to the overly excited Lehman.

When Stuttgart players exited the penalty area and Leman muttered to return to the goal line, Chu Zhongtian had already set up the football and stood next to the football, waiting for the free throw.

However, Lehman is still making the final effort. He knows that this penalty is of great significance. As long as you score in Stuttgart, you will fail, but if you lose the penalty, the game will end in a draw. The players who come to the penalty at this time must be under tremendous pressure.

He pointed to the upper right corner of the goal, and then repeated to Chu Zhongtian: "See, the football you shot will fly out from here!"

Chu Zhongtian glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids and stared at the football under his feet again.

Leman was still chattering, hoping to put psychological pressure on Chu Zhongtian.

Emily Stein stood in the stands at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, surrounded by Hoffenheim fans. They shouted at the off court together: "Kick in, Chu! You can do it!"

Everyone left the penalty area, the referee also walked aside, the stage was set up, the protagonists were Chu Zhongtian and Leman.

"No matter whether this ball is entered or not, the game will end immediately..." Duan Bin murmured.

This is not a game that concerns who wins the championship and who is relegated. Apart from the label of "Brazil Würthur Derby", this is actually a very ordinary Bundesliga. But now he is nervous, just like commenting on a World Cup final.

After Chu Zhongtian set the football down, he did not retreat to run the run, so he stood next to the football.

Lehman was a little confused. Should he have to wait until the referee blew his whistle before retreating and assisting?

The referee's whistle pulled him back from his doubts, and then he saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly kicking his feet on the spot!

The ball shot so suddenly! Before he could react, the football had already flew over!
