Biskens did not criticize the team's performance during the halftime break, but encouraged him. He also knew that criticism may not be a good idea at this time. It was already difficult for the players to equalize the score. He kept besieging the opponent's goal in the second half of the first half. No goals were just bad luck, and there were not many places to blame. If he criticized the team, it would only destroy the team's morale and desire to win. So he chose to encourage and told them that as long as they continue to play like this in the second half, they would definitely win. How to continue playing? Of course it was an offense. It would be better if he could besieged Hoffenheim's goal.

"Observation! You have no other way except offense. You must score goals as soon as possible. The five minutes at the beginning of the second half is the best time to score. Seize the opportunity to score one goal and make the lead become us! At that time, the league championship will become their pressure and make them perform abnormally!" Biskens said excitedly.

On the other side, Rangnick did not criticize the team during Hoffenheim's halftime break. Because the draw was also a good result for the team. As long as you tie, you can win the championship. The league championship is close, which made Rangnick a utilitarian. Before Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich played against each other in the first half of the season, Bayern Munich launched a psychological battle. Their general manager Heness ridiculed Rangnick for coaching a team. His first season was amazing, and the second season must be a mess.

Tu, also said that Rangnick would be the runner-up at most. This sentence hit Rangnick's heart. When he coached Schalke 04, he was the best in all the head coaches who coached Schalke 04, but in the end he only won the runner-up. This runner-up made him feel uneasy and caused him some invisible inferiority. Although coaching at Hoffenheim made the German media look at him with admiration, it was still a great regret in his coaching career.

He hopes that this situation can be changed in his third season at Hoffenheim.

There is something he has never even said about the closest person - he desires this Bundesliga championship more than anyone else because he needs this championship to gain confidence.

While the middle class was resting, Rangnick praised the team's performance and encouraged them to continue playing like this. After saying a few more words, he left the locker room and left the rest of the time for the players themselves.

As soon as Rangnick left, Chu Zhongtian said: "Brothers, although we can win the championship even if we draw, I think we should continue to attack and pursue goals in the second half. Hoffenheim's football is an offensive football. If we don't score, it is abnormal."

"But Schalke 04's defense is very good. What if we attack and fail to score a goal for a while, but the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack?" asked Comper. As a central defender, the first thing he considered was defense. He was worried that Chu Zhongtian would lack protection in front of him after he led his men to rush up.

"It's not a problem," Sarihovic said. "We will have such concerns when playing any team, but what's the result? I believe our offensive ability can definitely break their goal before they score."

"I also think winning is better. This is my first league championship. I hope to win, not a draw!" Weiss said with great enthusiasm. Last season, Hoffenheim was promoted as the second place in the second division in the second division. Their outstanding performance this season has always given people the illusion that this team was the champion of the German Second Division last season, but in fact it was not. In the German Second Division, their performance in the first half was quite bad, and they only caught up with it with the strength of the second half. After a season of running-in, the team's playing style gradually took shape, and they had an amazing performance this season.

But whether in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga, or even in the amateur league, this team adheres to the offensive idea. Just as their team sings: "The blood of offense, offense, and offense will always flow." Hoffenheim who does not attack is not Hoffenheim.

"Yes, offense!" As a striker, Demba Ba certainly hopes that the team will attack. Only when attacking can he score goals.

The discussion opinion is that most people support the offense, so the team's ideas will be unified in the second half - offense.

"In fact, there is an advantage in offense." Chu Zhongtian continued to analyze it for everyone. "We can win the championship as long as we draw. Schalke 04 people also know that they will definitely think that we will play more conservatively in the second half, but they will only have the chance to qualify for the League Cup next season if they win. So in the second half, they will not defend and counterattack, they will attack, and their defense will have a free time, so we can seize these opportunities. So if we attack, it will definitely go beyond their expectations. We will score when they don't have time to react. As long as we score another goal, they will be finished!"

"Chu is right. As long as we score another goal, Schalke 04 will be over! Their pressure is actually very high. This is their home court and they can't afford to lose. But once they fall behind, the huge pressure will crush them!" The goalkeeper Hildebran, who performed well in the first half, repeatedly blocked Schalke 04's player shot, also expressed support. "At that time, those huge noises will become a burden on Schalke 04, and we just need to play according to our football."

"So the second half is still in the way we are used to. We have to strive for early goals, it is best to score within five minutes of the game, so the initiative will come back to our hands. If we don't score in five minutes, we will slow down the pace. Anyway, the earlier we score the goal, the better it will be!"

※※The protagonists of this round are definitely more than two teams. In the home team locker room of Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg head coach Magath is telling his players not to pay attention to the news about another stadium.

"No matter whether they are tied or leading, that's not what you should care about! There is only one thing you have to do, that is, to play the game in front of you well!"

Magath has absolute authority in the team. He is usually serious and serious now, making everyone dare not take a breath.

"You did a good job in the first half, but letting the opponent score a goal is not a good thing. In the second half, you must continue to attack, continue to attack, and strive to score more goals!"

Now Wolfsburg can do only this thing, which is the only thing they can do in their own hands. If they can really beat Werder Bremen by nine goals at home, then when the game is over, they can cheer. Otherwise, even if Hoffenheim is really tied, they will be second because they do not win the goal.

That being said, but in the hearts of Wolfsburg players, they still couldn't raise it. After they lost to Stuttgart, they were already at a disadvantage in the competition for the league championship, because the two teams now have two points apart, so even if Hoffenheim draws, they can win the championship. What about them? Not only do they have to win the big score, but they also have to look at others' faces. The hope is too slim... In fact, the last round was their best chance to overtake. Their opponents were very weak, and Hoffenheim's opponent was strong enough. Before the game, Wolfsburg players were also optimistic, believing that Bayern Munich could definitely defeat Hoffenheim because they needed to compete for a Champions League qualification.

Unexpectedly, Hoffenheim team actually created a miracle and defeated Bayern Munich 3-2 at home. Chu Zhongtian's last-minute goal made all Wolfsburg players feel like "the situation is over".

Now, the penultimate round of the league is the final that determines the title. Bayern Munich did not stop Hoffenheim, and this victory gave Hoffenheim the entire team great confidence, which made them not at all when facing Schalke 04.

※※The fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly, and the three teams walked onto the stadium with their own different moods.

In the VIP seat, German Football Association Chairman Zwanchig was still chatting with others, talking about Hoffenheim, the biggest dark horse of the season.

"If this situation continues, Hoffenheim has a great chance of winning the league championship..."

"Yes, at the beginning of the season, I really didn't expect that I would come to present the awards to Hoffenheim..."

"Haha! Hoffenheim's performance is indeed very good this season! But I think their success is due to Bayern Munich's own problem. If Bayern performs well, whether it is Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg, this league championship may not be the turn..."

"I don't think it's hard to say that Bayern Munich doesn't have problems. It's difficult for any team to beat them, but there are always reasons for failure. My own problems are the biggest reason. No team can keep going. Why don't Hoffenheim can't beat them if there is no problem? It's not fair to attribute their success to Bayern's poor performance. Even if Bayern Munich's performance improves next season, I'm looking forward to their meeting with Hoffenheim again. I always feel that this small team is specializing in Bayern Munich..."

When a group of people were discussing here, the game had already begun. The discussion in the VIP seat was soon drowned out by the huge sounds of the Aofuschalke Stadium. Soon they stopped talking and just watched the game with concentration.

※※※ Hoffenheim players determined the idea of ​​still attacking in the second half at the break. At the beginning of the game, they took advantage of their own ball control to advance to the opponent's goal. Finally, after a series of passes, the football fell at Chu Zhongtian's feet, and he did not continue to pass in because the opponent's defense line was still stable at the beginning of the second half, so he chose to shoot a long shot.

The long shot was of high quality, and it hit the goal frame and was saved by goalkeeper Neuer.

As Chu Zhongtian said during the break, Schalke's second half of 04 was very simple, which was offense. After defending this corner kick, they launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's goal, hoping to score within the first five minutes of the second half. Generally speaking, the five minutes just beginning and the five minutes before the end are the most likely periods to generate goals, because most teams are not focused enough at this time and are not in the game state.

Schalke 04 plans to use this time period to launch a raid on Hoffenheim. Chu Zhongtian's previous long shot was considered a manifestation of Hoffenheim's inconsistent thinking. The team's main players were not concentrated enough, so naturally they became evidence that they could score goals.

They believe that Hoffenheim should choose to defend and counterattack, defend a draw, and win. Rangnick must have arranged this way, so Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot can only mean that not everyone agrees with this arrangement among the players. When playing football, he is afraid that the players will be uncoordinated and their thoughts will be inconsistent. Some people want to attack and some want to let go, which leads to disconnection from front and back, and it is inevitable that the ball will be lost.

So Chu Zhongtian's shot not only did not sound the alarm for Schalke 04, but instead allowed them to see their hope of scoring, and thus put a big push. He hoped to score a goal in five minutes of the start of the game, as the head coach said... "Falfan's shot - Hildebran! Beautiful save! Hoffenheim looked a little embarrassed in the past few minutes. The best person in their team was Hildebran. If Rangnick wanted to defend this draw and win the league championship, it was still early. Judging from Hoffenheim's defensive level, when they were determined to defend, the final result would definitely not go as expected..." Leif expressed dissatisfaction with Hoffenheim's football in the past few minutes, and he criticized him.

Hoffenheim is the one who keeps attacking. From the first minute of the game to the last second of the game, he is still tirelessly seeking opportunities to score goals. Hoffenheim who is passively beaten is not very familiar with this... Chu Zhongtian is using these few minutes to constantly observe the changes in the situation on the field, and then analyzes the next development trend from his mind. He found that the shot he opened at the opening did not alert Schalke 04 players, but instead became more at ease and bold in the attack. It can be seen from the assists of the two full-backs. Westman is still better, Brazilian Rafinia is almost turning into a winger, and he will not go back after completing one attack, waiting in the frontcourt to prepare for a second attack.

This means there will be a lot of room for their backcourt...※※In the 48th minute, Hildebran held Kulanyi's header firmly in his arms. Of course, he did not forget the tactics that everyone discussed during the break to score the goal as soon as possible, so he quickly got up from the ground and looked forward. He happened to see Chu Zhongtian backward running forward, and the two people's eyes collided in the air, and both understood each other's thoughts.

Hildebran stopped hesitating and threw the football over with his hands.

After seeing him throwing the ball, Chu Zhongtian turned around and changed to facing the attack direction. The football landed a little in front of him, and he stretched out his foot to control the football.

He did not stop and wait for others, nor did he look up to observe the situation around him. After receiving the ball, he drove forward!

"Chu is here again! Hoffenheim launches an attack!"

One of Jones and Nrager stood in front of Chu Zhongtian, and the other was chasing him. In addition, both central defenders Korstaditch and Hevedes were still in the backcourt. It would not be easy for Chu Zhongtian to fight alone.

Schalke 04's players also noticed this. They also thought that Chu Zhongtian could not fight alone, so they focused more on the side. The goal conceded in the first half was that Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to the side and then passed it to the side after attracting their attention.

Jones did not turn his head, but his eyes glanced to the side. He wanted to see who was on the side... and took advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Chu Zhongtian suddenly drove the football forward, accelerated his pursuit, and rushed over from Jones!

After Jones realized that Chu Zhongtian had really forced a breakthrough, it was too late. He turned around and saw Chu Zhongtian's back.

"Hold him!" he shouted.

Korstaditch rushed up and knocked Chu Zhongtian, who was dribbling the ball to the ground without saying a word!

The referee's whistle sounded.

Schalke fouled 04, and Hoffenheim won a free kick 38 meters away from the goal. Jones felt a little relieved when he saw this result.

However, Korstadic received a yellow card for this foul. The second half had just begun. He had to be careful in the next game.

Hoffenheim players were not very satisfied with the yellow card. They thought Korstaditch should be given a red card and sent him off directly. They protested for a few words, but the referee ignored them and just signaled them to take a free kick immediately.

The free kick is a bit far, 38 meters away, not a good distance for direct shots. Chu Zhongtian, Sarihovic and Eduardo stood in front of the ball, biting his ears.

"You can't just punish me... Anyway, I'm not sure to shoot the football into the goal at this distance..." Sarihovic said. When he looked at the goal, he felt that the goal was very small and there were people in front of the goal. He was not sure that after the football was shot, he had to have enough arcs to bypass the defensive players, and had enough strength to always maintain a high speed during such a long distance flight, and at the same time had to have enough accuracy to avoid hitting high or missing the shot.

Eduardo also agreed: "We'll reorganize the offense..." Sarihovic is the team's number one set player. If he doesn't do it, he won't have to say anything.

But Chu Zhongtian disagreed. Although the distance is a bit far, it is not impossible to shoot directly against the goal, and it is not impossible to shoot directly. The most important thing is that because of the long distance, Schalke 04 only lined up a wall of people composed of two people, which was almost perfunctory. Obviously, they did not believe that Hoffenheim could shoot directly from this distance. In Chu Zhongtian's view, the two people standing side by side of Schalke 04 cannot be considered "walls" at all, and they cannot even have a slight blocking effect. If it is a long shot in a sports battle, more than 30 meters is not an impossible distance. Now it is a fixed-point shot, which is even less difficult. It is worth trying.

"Try it?"

Eduardo and Sarihovic re-distanced the distance, but shook their heads: "It's too difficult."

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Then I'll try it."

"You?" Both of them were a little surprised.

Chu Zhongtian pointed to the loose wall of humans, "In fact, it is just a fixed-point long-range shot, just over thirty meters."

The two of them grinned, "Thirty meters" is just "just 30 meters", you can really say it.

But the captain insisted on trying, and they didn't say anything.

"Carlos, go ahead, Saiyad, you can cover me by your side." Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Chu Zhongtian began to assign tasks.

"Okay." Eduardo ran to the front, while Sarihovic stayed in place and acted as if he wanted to take a free kick.

"A distance of 38 meters... Is Hoffenheim going to shoot directly?" The commentator Lef was also a little confused when he saw Sarihovic's appearance.

"It's not impossible," Effenberg said. "No one has ever scored a 38-meter free kick, and the free kick at a distance is even more sudden. Because the opponents didn't expect that they would shoot directly from this place, as long as they shoot well..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Chu Zhongtian standing behind him suddenly start to run!

His running distance was very long, about ten meters, but he and Roberto Carlos had different running methods. He strode forward as soon as he got up and took out a 100-meter sprint.

Just as Chu Zhongtian and Effenberg said, Schalke 04 did not expect Hoffenheim to shoot at such a long distance, 38 meters, not far from the middle circle, and not many people would choose to shoot directly there, so Schalke 04's human wall is a decoration and a shoddy project.

When they saw Chu Zhongtian running and rushing towards the football, they did not change their minds. They thought it must be a feint. When Chu Zhongtian rushed to the front, he would definitely split the football on the side. So Schalke 04 players naturally focused on the side. They wanted to see which Hoffenheim players were on the side at this time... At this time, Chu Zhongtian ran to the football. Sarihovic did not make any moves, and saw Chu Zhongtian sprinting over with all his strength and swung his right leg in the face of the football and shot with one kick!!

Chu Zhongtian kicked this ball very hard. After playing the football, he flew into the air, as if he was about to fly forward with the football. The football flew far away and rushed through the two people in less than half a second.

When the breeze of football blew their hair, the two realized that Hoffenheim really shot directly!

While Chu Zhongtian shot, Duan Bin stretched his voice and shouted: "Shot--"

The football flew straight over the two Schalke 04 players, and then continued to maintain this height and speed, rushing towards the goal guarded by Neuer.

Neuer felt that the football was coming in the blink of an eye, and then his brain issued instructions to make him make an action save.

This is too late.

Sarihovic and Eduardo both felt it was difficult to find a road to the goal in the penalty area. The best way was to go around - bypass the wall of people, and bypass the area with the most crowded people, then bypass the goalkeeper's fingers and finally go around the goal.

But Chu Zhongtian didn't know these things. In his opinion, there was only one simplest and most direct way to the goal, and that was a straight line starting from him!

The football itself was almost completely unturned, whistling and disturbing the surrounding air. In Neuer's opinion, the ball seemed to be shaking up and down and left and right in a very small range, which increased the difficulty of his snatching the ball, not to mention that the football itself was very fast... When he just made a save, the football had already flew in front of him. He stretched out his hand and the football just crossed the goal line. When he spread his whole body in the air and made a complete save, the football had already lifted the net behind him.

It was like a giant cannon that blasted the city wall, and Neuer fell down like a rock that was smashed. He knew that he had failed without touching the football during the save... No, it should be said that from the beginning, he did not expect Hoffenheim to shoot directly from such a long distance, and he failed.

Sarihovic stood where the football was before, without doing a single move or his posture had not changed. He saw clearly the whole process of the football flying into the goal. His mouth gradually opened wide, and in the end he could only describe the expression on his face as stunned.

"The ball is in!" Duan Bin changed his tone, raised his arms and stood up from his commentator's seat.
