Rangnick's requirement for the team is to play in the second half of the first half and use their speed to break Inter Milan's defense.

But after the start of the second half, all Hoffenheim players, including Chu Zhongtian, found this unlikely. Inter Milan's retreat was very fast, and even players like Maicon basically attacked in half, just to ensure that there were no loopholes in their defense line and to ensure that the defense line remained in a compact formation.

Don't think that Inter Milan has no choice in offense like this. Inter Milan's offense is not supported by Macon alone. The configuration of the three-middle midfielder can attack and retreat or defend, which is quite practical. In addition, Etoo's surprise attack ability can still make Hoffenheim's not-so-strong defense line very tense.

Chu Zhongtian's continuous rapid transfer did not bring any decent opportunity to the team. No matter where he transfers the football, he will encounter the opponent's airtight defense.

Inter Milan's defense is much more organized and orderly than in the first half. Even a little panicked performance can't be seen.

Sure enough, their head coach made targeted arrangements during the halftime break... Chu Zhongtian knew this would happen, but what could he do? He is not the head coach, he is just a player, and even if he is called the "head coach on the court", he is powerless.

He can only try various pass modes and occasionally shoot a long shot by himself. Apart from that, he has no better way.

In the 51st minute, Inter Milan cut off Chu Zhongtian's pass in the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack. Sneider passed to Etoo. The African Cheetah dribbled the ball and sprinted alone, giving his speed advantage to the extreme. Hoffenheim's defensive players could not stop him at all. After he dribbled the ball into the edge of the penalty area, he had attracted the attention of all Hoffenheim players, but did not shoot, but made a cross!

The football rushed between Simonic and Kolarov and fell to Diego Milito in front of the goal. At this time, there was no Hoffenheim player beside the Argentine scorer, and even goalkeeper Hildebran rushed to the front point to block Etoo's shot.

Facing such a large empty goal, Milito swept the ball into the goal without hesitation!

The Meazza Stadium burst into huge cheers again, and Inter Milan led 2:1!

"Inter Milan scored another goal! It seems that they are determined to win this game today!"

"Milito scored twice! Beautiful! But 80% of the credit for this ball must be remembered on Etoo's head! It was his quick breakthrough that tore open Hoffenheim's defense!"

In the first half, the commentators praised Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim and kept beating Inter Milan. Now their attitude has made a 180-degree turn. However, this is very normal for the commentators, and of course they have to praise the strong.

Inter Milan players hugged each other to celebrate the goal, while Hoffenheim players seemed very upset.

I was just patronizing the attack, but I forgot that their opponent was not toothless tiger.

"Hoffenheim fell behind just six minutes after the second half, which is definitely not good news for them. It seems that after a half-time break, Hoffenheim lost the rhythm of the second half of the first half. Now their offense cannot pose a threat to Inter Milan, and the loopholes in the defense are presented one by one in Inter Milan's rapid counterattack..."

"Ging is still so hot... Mourinho is indeed better than Rangnick. Chu Zhongtian's performance is not as dazzling as the second half of the first half. He is powerless against Inter Milan's strict defense. However, there are not many players in this world who can break this kind of defense..." While He Ping felt sorry for Hoffenheim, he defended Chu Zhongtian. In this situation, Chu Zhongtian should not bear the main responsibility.

"Chu Zhongtian is already very good at scoring a goal against Inter Milan..."

If you pass quickly and mobilize the opponent's defense line is no longer feasible, what else can you do?

Inter Milan players cheered, while their teammates were upset and frustrated. Chu Zhongtian frowned and thought. If he could not find a way to break this defense, then the Champions League trip would end here. After Inter Milan won the first round, the second round would definitely be the same.

※※In the following game, Chu Zhongtian kept trying various methods to break Inter Milan's defense. However, the results were very little. He was the only one, or the few attacking players in the frontcourt, and it was difficult to break Inter Milan's defense.

Because the team lacks some changes that are sufficient to change the balance.

He was studied thoroughly by Inter Milan. His running position, his passing habits, his shooting, and Inter Milan's defensive players knew. As soon as he got the ball, Sneider kept harassing him. At this time, the Dutchman didn't look like a midfielder who helped the team siege the city, but like a engineer who specialized in dirty work and tiring work.

If someone else is used as a front midfielder, they may not be able to execute the tactical instructions of the head coach at all. They will think that the head coach must have his brain stuck in the door and will actually let a front midfielder responsible for creating do something to destroy. But Sneider would not think so. He would follow the execution of whatever the head coach said. This is what Mourinho values ​​him the most. He can firmly implement his tactics, without any complaints, and will not make any trouble after the game.

Chu Zhongtian not only had to be careful that the football under his feet was cut off by Sneijder, but also had to find a route that could directly lead to the dangerous area from the complicated situation, and at the same time he had to face the robbery of several other Inter Milan defensive players at any time.

If he doesn't pass the ball and chooses to seek breakthroughs in person, he will soon face the joint defense of Cambiaso, Mota and Stankovic.

But Chu Zhongtian still did this because he hopes to use his breakthrough to attract more Inter Milan defensive players and create space for his teammates.

"Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball and rushed forward again... His personal dribbles have obviously increased during this period..."

Sneijder kept in mind what Mourinho said during the half-time break. Once Chu Zhongtian breaks through, don't follow him and hand Chu Zhongtian to Cambiaso and others. His role is to go forward. Once his teammates cut off the ball, they can directly find him, and then organize a quick counterattack. If he follows him to participate in the defense, he will slow down Inter Milan's counterattack speed, cut off the ball and look for him again, and he is still behind... He interferes symbolically and lets Chu Zhongtian go.

Cambiaso greeted him, while Mota was protecting him.

Chu Zhongtian did not pass the ball. Although he saw Azawag asking for the ball on the side, there was a Sanetti not far from him staring at him. Although it seemed that he was not by Azawag's side now, as long as he passed the ball over, he would definitely rush up.

Chu Zhongtian's body was facing Azhawag, and after making a fake move to pass the ball to him, he suddenly dunked the ball back with his right foot, and turned around and rushed to the other side. Cambiaso was deceived by his fake move and did not stop him as soon as possible. But there was Mota behind him.

Seeing that Cambiaso lost his position, Mota made up. If Chu Zhongtian continued to dribble the ball, he would have only one end, which would be to bump into the opponent head-on. So he did not intend to continue dribbling the ball, and attracted two opponents' defensive players. It was already possible. He took the lead and stabbed the ball out with his left toe in a very unfavorable situation. He aimed at Van Nistruy right in front.

After passing the ball, he did not stop, but staggered forward and pulled Mota, which could reduce the pressure on receiving teammates. Some people stood there when they passed the ball, but they watched their teammates besieged by the opponent and eventually lost the ball. Chu Zhongtian was not that stupid.

He rushed forward, although his steps were unstable, but he could interfere with the opponent's defense line.

However, Inter Milan is not a vegetarian. Mota followed, while Cambiaso turned around and swept Van Nestruy. Chu Zhongtian's running did not shake Inter Milan's defense from a further distance.

Van Nistroy saw Chu Zhongtian's inward movement and passed the ball, but their intention was seen through by Lucio in advance. He was originally behind Van Nistroy. When he saw Chu Zhongtian's inward movement, he went around in advance to defend, and just intercepted Van Nistroy's passing!

"The goal was lost!"

Chu Zhongtian looked back and saw that the football was snatched by Lucio. He quickly braked and turned to chase him.

Lucio took the football out of the game, and he was going to stage a one-stop show of dribbling from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area!

Sana rushed up to block Lucio. The captain of the Brazilian national team passed the football out, gave it to Sneijder, and then continued to step forward.

Sneider quickly passed the football to Lucio.

"Two and one! Beautiful!"

Sana did not stop Lucio. While he turned around, Chu Zhongtian had already passed by him at a high speed.

"Go to defend Sneider!" He shouted at his partner as he ran past Sana.

Lucio is dribbling the ball, and Sneijder is the core of Inter Milan's attack and cannot be left alone.

So the two divided the labor.

Upon hearing this, Sana changed his running direction and slapped at Sneider.

Chu Zhongtian caught up with Lucio.

He pulled Lucio's shoulder with one hand, forcing the opponent to slow down. Lucio happened to stop and throw Chu Zhongtian away.

Chu Zhongtian surpassed him, but was not completely thrown away.

Lucio tucked the football into the middle and planned to dribble horizontally, so Chu Zhongtian leaned over.

Last summer, they had hope of becoming teammates, but now they are enemies who are fighting each other.

In terms of physical health, Lucio was not afraid of anyone, and Chu Zhongtian also felt huge pressure. However, under such pressure, he still saw the opportunity and decisively tackledly, and shoveled the ball under Lucio's feet.

"Beautiful defense!"

Chu Zhongtian was lying on the ground and was about to see who had received the ball he had tackled, but he saw Sneider. The Dutch stretched out his foot and snatched the ball he had tackled.

He immediately supported himself with both hands to get up from the ground, but Sneider did not give him such a chance. As soon as Sneider received the ball, he passed the ball out again.

This time he divided the football into the wing road. Maikon, who had been in the backcourt and had not assisted much, suddenly rushed up. When everyone appeared in everyone's sight, he had already arrived at the edge of the penalty area!

Macon did not give any Hoffenheim player a chance to come up and force him, and directly made a cross!

"Maikon has passed!"

The football drew a very obvious arc in the air, crossed the Hoffenheim defenders' heads and flew directly behind.

Neither Simonic nor Pogatts hit the ball because it was too high.

The football fell straight to the back point, where it appeared Inter Milan's Argentine striker Diego Milito.

"Milito is here again!"

Kolarov rushed over to stop Milito from shooting, but Milito did not intend to shoot. He shook his head on the spot and flew the football into the middle.

Inter Milan once again found the loophole in Hoffenheim's defense line. In front of the experienced Mourinho, Rangnick's defense line was simply no secret.

"Heading the ferry! Arrived in the middle! E-Too!!"

The African cheetah jumped high in the middle, with almost no one guarding it, and headed the ball to the top!

The football flew into the goal from Hildebran's hand!

3:1!

Chu Zhongtian, who had just returned to the penalty area, was one step late and did not follow Etoo. Seeing the opponent scored in front of his goal so easily, he angrily threw the opponent. "Damn it!"

"3:1!3:1!! Inter Milan's two lightning goals defeated Hoffenheim!"

"It seems that Inter Milan's many shameful records are destined to be broken on this night!"

The cheers at Meacha Stadium reached its peak at this moment.

Hildebran was obviously dissatisfied with his teammates' defense. He shouted at the defenders: "Sign up! Switch up! Where are our guards going?!"

No one answered him. Everyone looked very upset and frustrated with their heads down.

With such a score and game situation, it is simply a dream to equalize or even overtake.

This Inter Milan team is completely different from the Inter Milan they saw in the group stage. They are just two teams. They are really too strong... Chu Zhongtian was also very disappointed, but he was disappointed for only a few seconds and then realized that he was the captain, and it was not the time to be disappointed. It is only the 58th minute now, and the game is still thirty-two minutes away. Even if we can't win or draw, at least we have to strive to score another goal. If we score two away goals in hand, we will have to play in the next round.

So he ran to the goal, picked up the football, then ran back to the center circle, put the football at the midpoint, and waited for the kickoff.

Inter Milan players are still celebrating, and he uses this time to consider how to break the opponent's defense.

How long shots? Combination of sides and middle? Personal breakthrough? Setting ball?

The purpose of the offense is to allow football to enter the opponent's penalty area as much as possible, and only in this way can it create a threat. However, Inter Milan's defense makes it very difficult for them to send football in. Ibiszevic and Van Nistrui are like they are trapped in a quagmire, and this game is basically ineffective.

Looking back now, Hoffenheim scored a goal with his flash, and at other times he did not create opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal in offense... He is the core of the team, the commander tower for organizing the offense. But he can only score by himself. What is the core of the organization? If he cannot lead the whole team to perform well with him, he is just a lone hero.

"The gap in strength is too big..." Looking at Chu Zhongtian who lowered his head and said nothing, He Ping shook his head. "Inter Milan has been very mature after Mourinho's season of running-in. Hoffenheim is still in the team building period. In many positions, especially on the back line, Inter Milan players' abilities are not the same level as Hoffenheim."

※※※The celebration of Inter Milan players has finally ended, they returned to the court, and the game has also begun again.

But Hoffenheim still has not found a suitable solution.

However, Inter Milan's offensive became more and more sharp. After leading two goals, they lost their burden. The score was safe. Their people could play their best, which felt like "how to play."
To be continued...
