Katchar still remembers his provocation to Chu Zhongtian before the game. On the one hand, it is a psychological tactic, and on the other hand, it is also his voice. He really sees the so-called Bundesliga transfer bidder that the captain of a team of promoted teams openly shouted the "winning the championship slogan". It's really a bit rampant!

So he wanted to teach Chu Zhongtian a lesson.

But is there anything worse than a person who wants to teach a lesson in front of you?

No.

So Katzar is extremely depressed now.

He was the target he was guarding, but the target he guarded scored a goal in front of him, and he had no other way except to watch.

Katchar felt very upset when he watched Chu Zhongtian celebrate the goal with his teammates.

This made him even more determined that he would give the opponent some good looks in the game.

Simonic turned over and sat up, then looked at Chu Zhongtian who was celebrating the goal. He had no expression on his face, but shook his head in his heart.

In the process of competing for the air ball, he lost to Hoffenheim's No. 8. The opponent is more accurate in mastering the ball's landing point than himself. He accurately caught the ball's landing point and then grabbed the ball first.

Although he is 1.95 meters tall and can rank among the top three in the Bundesliga in both bounce and header, he lost to a player who is far inferior to his own. He is tall and bounced when competing for headers. It does not mean that the higher you jump, the more you can reach the ball.

He lost so much that he had nothing to say.

The team in front of him has some connection with him. At the beginning of the league, he had a conflict with his head coach Favre, but Hoffenheim paid attention. He even had to introduce himself during the winter break. However, he refused their invitation at the time.

Although Hoffenheim was rejected at that time, Simonic has become particularly concerned about Hoffenheim since then. He will pay attention to collecting information related to Hoffenheim. The team has dropped from the first in the league to the second in the league. The previous few rounds of the league were very unstable and was ridiculed by some media. But in Simonic's view, as a newly promoted team, ranking second in the league is still a very proud thing. The media's ridicule is unreasonable - ridicule of a second-ranked team is the biggest joke. Any newly promoted team ranked at Hoffenheim, I am afraid that they will receive praise, and there will be no criticism at all.

This is a very young team. From the confrontation between himself and the opponent's captain just now, he could see the characteristics of this team - like that captain, he is in a hurry no matter what kind of obstacles he faces. Just like they always insist on the offensive football style, the football that goes from the first minute of the game to the last minute is really exciting.

※※"Chu! Chu! Chu scored!! His seventh goal in the league! Hoffenheim led Hertha Berlin 1-0 at his home court! Hoffenheim gained the upper hand in this focus battle! They started well!"

"In the battle with Ximunic, who is 1.95 meters tall, Chu Zhongtian, who is 1.83 meters tall, has a little advantage! Chu Zhongtian's header is very powerful, which is one of his major characteristics. Although he is not tall, he does a good job in header offense and defense!"

After scoring the goal, Chu Zhongtian turned around and ran back after celebrating with the fans, and then he hugged Salihovic who passed the ball to him. "The pass was so beautiful, Saiyad!" He clenched his other hand into a fist and shook in front of Salihovic's eyes.

The two of them had rivals who had conflicts with each other before the season, but now they are close to each other like comrades for many years.

This is what head coach Rangnick wants to see. If the team cannot form a joint force, it will be useless for the team to have more talented young people.

※※※Herta Berlin, who was behind, began their counterattack after the game restarted.

In the 18th minute, marko_pantelic took the ball from his teammate and then swayed over Comper and Baker, and suddenly blew out of the arrow.

In the 20th minute, Cicero shot from a long shot outside the penalty area and went over the crossbar. In the 22nd minute, Cicero made a wonderful pass under Weiss' close press, and the shot of Leandro_cufre who assisted forward was saved by goalkeeper Hildebrand from the baseline.

During this period, Hertha Berlin's offensive came up. They made the audience realize that they are still a very powerful team. Don't think that they lost a goal in the fifteenth minute and underestimate them.

Rangnick was very unhappy about the team being suppressed by the opponent in the past five minutes. He shouted loudly off the court: "Observation! Sayad! Chu! And Vido! Obasi! Demba.ba! Attack me! Attack!"

For Hoffenheim, offense is the best defense.

But when they attack, they will encounter Hertha Berlin's foul tactics.

Salihovic was overturned to the ground, and the other party received only a verbal warning, which made boo in the stands.

Then Ibisevic was kicked in the ankle again. He did not fall to the ground immediately, but completed the shot before limping to the referee, who still only warned him verbally.

Hertha Berlin's indulgence made her even more excited.

As a result, the anger of Hoffenheim players was also kicked out. They were all young players and they were easily anxious. The opponent made repeated fouls, but the referee just warned him verbally. Since the referee didn't care, then we should preside over justice ourselves... With this idea, Weiss also tackled Ebert (patrick_ebert). This was a very fierce foul. Hertha Berlin surrounded the referee and asked him to show a yellow card. This time, the public outrage was quite high. The referee Stark couldn't do it, so he showed Weiss a yellow card.

This yellow card in turn made Hoffenheim's people very unhappy. Rangnick even spread his hands off the court to protest, because this yellow card means Weiss will be suspended in the next round of the league, and he has accumulated four yellow cards before. The rule of the Bundesliga is to accumulate five yellow cards and automatically suspend it for one game.

The head coach has to consider more than this game, so he is angry about this yellow card. The players on the court are dissatisfied with Hoffenheim because there were so many fouls in Berlin before, and the referee did not give yellow cards. Weiss gave yellow cards for the first time. Is there any suspicion of favoring the visiting team? It is not only in China but also in all parts of the world. The Hoffenheim players have a simple mind - either you don’t give cards, let’s make trouble, or you give cards, and from the very beginning, you stop this obscene tactic of relying on fouls to obstruct the opponent.

As a result, the referee did not play cards for Hertha Berlin, but instead gave Hoffenheim players who were consciously victims a yellow card. The first yellow card in this game was given to the home team, which no one felt that it was unacceptable.

Therefore, this yellow card not only did not serve to curb the anger of both sides, but instead fueled the atmosphere of increasing smell of gunpowder.

Weiss was very dissatisfied with the penalty, so Chu Zhongtian pulled him aside, hugged his neck, comforted him, and asked him to calm down and not be sent off for protesting with the referee.

After the game restarted, Hertha Berlin took the free kick out. Instead of sending the football directly into the penalty area, they passed it to the middle.

As soon as Kazar received the ball, Chu Zhongtian suddenly rushed up from behind, splitting him from the football, then stuck out his butt, and knocking Kazar to the side. Kazar fell to the ground, waved his arms, and screamed again, wanting a set ball in the center of the penalty area.

The referee hesitated for a moment, but still took down the whistle in his mouth.

Chu Zhongtian ignored Katchar who was protesting on the ground and waded the football out. Hoffenheim launched a fast attack!

Kachar hurriedly got up from the ground and went to chase Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian deliberately slowed down, just waiting for Kazar to come up.

Kachar was chasing behind him, and suddenly saw Chu Zhongtian slowing down, so he was overjoyed and rushed straight up. Since Chu Zhongtian knocked him down from behind and successfully grabbed the ball, he didn't even whisper, so he did the same!

Just when he was about to intercept the ball in front, Chu Zhongtian suddenly braked suddenly, clamped his hands slightly, expanding the blocking area. As a result, Kachar hit Chu Zhongtian's back, lost his balance by the reaction force, and fell to the ground on his back. This Serbian midfielder, who was exactly the same height as Chu Zhongtian, was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Chu Zhongtian's body.

However, Chu Zhongtian had the intention to make a mistake but was not intentional, so it was easy to win.

The second time he knocked the opponent to the ground, the referee still didn't blow it. In his opinion, this was a reasonable collision.

Chu Zhongtian took advantage of the situation to take the football away and completely got rid of this Kazar.

Then he shot by himself, and the football was saved by goalkeeper Drogney. Hoffenheim won a corner kick. Chu Zhongtian looked back and then got up from the ground, and Katzale was still muttering in his mouth.

Katchar also noticed that someone was looking at him, so he raised his head and his eyes were facing Chu Zhongtian.

Neither of the two spoke, but their hostility was fully expressed in the eyes of each other. Katchar saw that Chu Zhongtian was unhappy, so Chu Zhongtian naturally would not treat him kindly.

The silent confrontation between the two was short, but the excellent Bundesliga TV broadcast still captured this scene and replayed it on TV.

"This is really an interesting scene. From the eyes of the two of them, we can see that they are already on the verge of the slightest, haha!" Duan Bin laughed when he saw this shot.

The bystanders found it interesting, but the parties involved would not think so at all.

Then, as long as Chu Zhongtian took the ball, he could feel the defensive pressure from Katchar, not only defense, but also small moves and fouls.

Katchar tried every means to make him fall, but Chu Zhongtian just held on and didn't fall.

Once again, after Chu Zhongtian got the ball, Kachall kicked from behind and kicked Chu Zhongtian's calf. This was an obvious foul. If it were other players, they would have covered their calves and screamed and fell to the ground, but Chu Zhongtian did not respond, making Kachall think that he had not kicked anything... Not only that, Chu Zhongtian took advantage of Kachall's moment of being stunned and sent the football to an empty space he had already hoped for, helping Demba.ba complete a threatening shot.

Chu Zhongtian himself did not protest at all, but his teammates next to him were very dissatisfied. They raised their arms to signal the referee to Katzale's foul.

The referee finally ran up this time and showed Katzale a yellow card. Katzale, who received the yellow card, seemed very angry. He waved his arm hard and shouted at the referee in his hometown dialect - speaking German, and he was afraid that he would be sent off by the referee... His behavior was also seen by Hoffenheim fans, among whom some insulted the Serbian loudly, and some gave him a middle finger.

But Katzal didn't care. He continued to chatter with his head held high and continued to rattle.

Chu Zhongtian bent down and rubbed his calf, and found that there was no problem.

※※※The rest of the first half was spent in the physical confrontation between the two sides. Football was placed second, and no one was willing to lose in the physical competition with the opponent, because it was related to their face... Rangnick was very dissatisfied with the situation on the court. During the break, he criticized the team's practice of only focusing on fighting with the opponent but forgetting to play football.

"What is our goal? It's not to kick them down on the court, but to win the game! Put all your attention back to the game!"

"But their style of play is really dirty..." Salihovic complained that as one of the last few people in Hoffenheim's team, he was also under the focus of attention of his opponent in the first half and was changing his jerseys at this time - the blue jersey in the first half was broken into a mortar and grass green.

"That's the referee's business, you are not the referee. Look at Chu!" Rangnick pointed at Chu Zhongtian, "As the captain, he has set a good example for you. He rarely goes to the referee's theory. Even if he is violated, he will use a legitimate way to fight back."

Everyone looked at Chu Zhongtian, and Obasi screamed strangely: "That can't be compared, coach! Chu's body is stronger than us. Did you see how the opponent No. 44 kicked his leg in the first half? Chu did nothing! He is such a pervert!"

Rangnick also felt that using Chu Zhongtian as an example was not appropriate and was unfair to other players. Chu Zhongtian has a very good physical fitness. If other players are asked to act as nothing after being violated, it would be a big deal.

"Well, if you are violated, you have to protect yourself. But don't just touch it, as our offense will not be able to fight at all. We all know why Hertha Berlin did this, because they can disrupt our rhythm with fouls. If we always stop the offense, we will fall into their trap."

※※※On the other side, Hertha Berlin's head coach Favre is also criticizing his team.

"Your defense was so bad in the first half!" He was referring to the goal concealed. "Simunić, you are 1.95 meters tall, why did you let the opponent's No. 8 hit the ball?"

"He has a very accurate judgment on the landing point of football." Simonic defended himself.

"Don't explain!" Favre pointed at Simonic and said. "Doesn't your judgment on the landing point of the football be good?"

Seeing him like this, Simonic turned his face aside. From the "substitute incident" at the beginning of the season, he knew that the head coach had an objection to him. He didn't say anything more than a question, so Simonic was unwilling to say more to the head coach. He could understand as much as he wanted.

Seeing that Simonic stopped talking, Favre changed the topic: "You did a good job in fouls. But in the second half we can't just fouls, we can't just stop our opponents, because we are one ball behind now. You must hurry up and equalize the score!"

※※※"In the second half, Hertha Berlin fell behind, and they will definitely attack. In the face of their foul tactics, I ask you to be calm. Don't be petty with them, seize the opportunity and score another goal."

Hertha Berlin, who is behind, must attack, and they cannot use foul tactics when attacking, so this is Hoffenheim's opportunity. Now, how important is Chu Zhongtian's goal in the first half is. If the score is still 0:0 now, Hertha Berlin will continue to use foul tactics calmly in the second half, forcing Hoffenheim to lose his calmness and make more proactive mistakes. There will be more room in the defense line to be used. At that time, Hertha Berlin only needs one counterattack to get three points away, becoming the second team to double-kill Hoffenheim this season.

But now Hoffenheim is the leader, so Rangnick has a very calm room for maneuver in tactics.

When he appeared, Chu Zhongtian hugged Weiss' shoulder and walked out with him, and at the same time kept reminding him to notice that he had already carried a yellow card on his body, and he should pay attention to controlling his emotions in the second half. Weiss is a person with a very hot temper on the football field. Chu Zhongtian was worried that he could not withstand the repeated provocations of his opponent in the second half, so he impulsively did something that made him regret it and let the team follow the unlucky "stupid things".

"Don't be fooled by your opponent. Now all Germany knows what kind of person you are, Tobias. No matter how your opponent kicks you in the second half, you must stay calm."

Weis raised his head and asked Chu Zhongtian next to him: "How to keep calm, Chu?"

"Smile, keep smiling." Chu Zhongtian replied, "You can also understand this as a ridicule to the other party."

Weiss grinned: "Is this how?"

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "Forget it, Tobias, you should stop laughing. You smile more like you are angry..."

"Hey, Chu!" Weiss knew that Chu Zhongtian was talking about his appearance, and he said angrily.

Chu Zhongtian laughed and patted his shoulder: "Okay, it's kidding. But no matter what, you have to relax on the field and don't let your opponent's foul tactics really succeed."

"I'll try my best, Chu...you know, sometimes temper is not my control..." Weis shook his head.

"Then vent your anger to the opponent's goal! Try to score a goal in the second half, Tobias!" Chu Zhongtian slapped Weiss hard on the back.
Chapter completed!
