On the day of the match day, German media gathered in the small town of Sinsheim to pay attention to the match between Hoffenheim and AC Milan. On this Champions League day, Hoffenheim was the first team to appear in the German team, and the opponent to face was a powerful team like AC Milan, so the German media paid great attention.

There are already a lot of news about the two teams before the game, but as the game approaches, all the irrelevant news is gone. Everyone is still only concerned about whether the players on both sides are in order and what tactics will the head coaches on both sides adopt.

The game time has finally arrived, and the Rhine Neka Stadium is full, and there are even many loyal fans waiting outside the stadium five minutes before the game starts, holding a sign of "I need tickets". I hope I will be lucky and can meet those who have something to do temporarily and cannot watch the live broadcast of the game on site to refund the tickets.

However, their waiting is destined to be empty. The tickets for this game are very short, and many people can no longer buy tickets a week in advance. The tickets that were left for sale before the game were also snatched away just after they were released.

The people waiting for the tickets were still stubbornly guarding outside. Next to them was the noisy Rhine-Neka Stadium. All the lighting of the stadium was turned on, and the sound waves came from inside and could be heard from afar.

Players on both sides have already entered the stadium. Accompanied by the Champions League theme song, they lined up to let the reporters take photos and then the visiting players took the initiative to go to the home team players and shook hands with them one by one.

As the captain of the team, Chu Zhongtian stood at the front of the queue. Every AC Milan player would be the first to shake hands with him after coming up.

He has no good friends in AC Milan, so he doesn't shake hands and greet him. Everyone just shakes his hands and lets go. Some people will say something, but it's not English, French, nor German, or Portuguese. Anyway, Chu Zhongtian doesn't understand. As long as the other party speaks to him, he will reply in Chinese - he doesn't care whether the other party can understand or not, he has no obligation.

The first AC Milan player to shake hands with Chu Zhongtian made their captain Gattuso.

Chu Zhongtian only had a special feeling for this Milan player, because when he was in the European Super Cup, he was once stared at Gattuso very tightly, so he could only take advantage of the time when he was injured and received treatment to launch an attack and create a goal.

At that time, Gattuso was still the world's top midfielder. He was a person who Chu Zhongtian would feel very troubled. However, Gattuso is now 32 years old. Although his fighting spirit is still very tenacious, his physical fitness is no longer as good as before.

Looking at the obviously old Gattuso, Chu Zhongtian did not feel any contempt. Because he felt that while shaking hands with him, the Italian "butcher" used force on his hand.

Chu Zhongtian knew what that meant.

This is a letter of battle against himself. Gattuso will be his opponent in this game. In fact, Chu Zhongtian has known this since AC Milan's starting roster came out. In the last Champions League match against Ausselle, Allegri did not allow Gattuso to start, but this game allowed the 32-year-old veteran to start. What that means is already very obvious.

Not bad, since the 2007 European Super Cup, Chu Zhongtian has not fought with this famous midfielder. Although Gattuso is three years older, Chu Zhongtian is still eager to compete with such a high-level player.

After the handshake, the captains of both sides met again. Chu Zhongtian and Gattuso exchanged team flags with each other and picked the side. Chu Zhongtian deliberately lost the right to pick the side and got the right to kick the ball. Compared to picking the side, Chu Zhongtian paid more attention to the starting ball. Whoever kicked the ball first will take advantage, just like Black chess has an advantage in the first move.

Hoffenheim's football is a fast and direct football, and needs to put pressure on the opponent as soon as it comes, so it is more beneficial for them to kick off first. AC Milan is a slow football, and they often heat up slowly. What is the difference between kick off first and then kick off.

After the side selection, the two captains returned to their respective teams. As usual, Chu Zhongtian gathered his teammates to make a brief pre-match mobilization.

"We have to win against them. We have said this a lot in the past half week, so I won't repeat it." Chu Zhongtian said. "I just want to say one thing - let them see our football, brothers!"

※※※Ibisevic and Obasi stood in the middle circle, Ibisevic stepped on the football, waiting for the referee to whistle.

Salihovic and Quaresma stood at both ends of the center line, next to the sideline, and Chu Zhongtian stood in the middle of the center line. Hoffenheim always passed the football to him when he kicked off.

Sana stood behind Chu Zhongtian as a protection.

The formation was relatively compact when kicking off. Once the football was kicked at Chu Zhongtian's feet, Hoffenheim's formation would quickly disperse, two wing forwards stepped forward, Sana ran to the side, and the back line retreated as a whole, so that Chu Zhongtian could pass the ball.

※※※For this game, China Central Television Sports Channel also broadcast live. In the last game, Hoffenheim lost to Real Madrid at the last moment, which disappointed Chinese fans, but also made people see hope. He played against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, only lost one goal and scored two goals. This performance was amazing.

He has performed like this against Real Madrid away. He will not be bad when he returns to home to play AC Milan, right?

Many people are looking forward to Hoffenheim creating miracles in this game.

In the pre-match program, commentator Heping and guest Zhang Lu had already analyzed the starting list of both sides. Zhang Lu believed that Allegri's intention to send Gattuso was very obvious, which was to curb Chu Zhongtian. Now Chu Zhongtian is the core of Hoffenheim, and this is no secret. Therefore, as long as you play Hoffenheim, you will find a way to freeze Chu Zhongtian, which is also the consensus of the coaches. But it is one thing, and it is another thing to do. In this world, you can truly freeze Chu Zhongtian's ball

There are not many players. He has excellent running ability, good skills, high passing awareness and accuracy, and has long-range shooting skills. Such a comprehensive midfielder, you can defend him from dribbling the ball, you can defend him from passing the ball, you can defend him from passing the ball, you can defend him from passing the ball, and you can't defend him from shooting the ball. Moreover, he runs all over the field, which makes it very difficult to freeze him. He can appear anywhere on the court, which means that players at any position in the team of this team must have the ability to freeze Chu Zhongtian. How is this possible?

Moreover, Hoffenheim's fast football is the style that AC Milan fears. As long as you perform well, it is not impossible to win.

This is an analysis by Chinese experts, which is basically no different from the analysis of German football celebrities.

While the TV station was broadcasting this game live, the Internet was full of expectations for this game. Many netizens watched the game on TV and communicated with others through the Internet. Everyone hoped that Chu Zhongtian could perform well. However, the person who was most confused should belong to the AC Milan fan group in China. On the one hand, they hoped that the team they supported would win, and on the other hand, they hoped that Chu Zhongtian would perform well. This really made them feel embarrassed... The last time Hoffenheim and Inter Milan met in the Champions League quarter-finals made Inter Milan fans very confused, while AC Milan fans who had just been eliminated were gloating and kept cheering for Hoffenheim during the game, hoping that Inter Milan would be eliminated. This time, the feng shui changed, and AC Milan fans were waiting to watch the show.

On the TV screen, the players on both sides have already stood according to their respective formations and are waiting for the game to begin.

The referee and the fourth official off the court got the right time and then blew the whistle in his mouth!

"CCTV! CCTV! Good morning for the audience! Welcome to watch the second round of the group match of the 2010-2011 European Football Champions League Group G, against both sides, Hoffenheim and AC Milan!" He Ping's voice sounded. "Hoffenheim is wearing a blue home jersey from the left side of the screen to the right, while Hoffenheim is wearing a white away jersey from the right to the left side is the away team AC Milan!"

He Ping finished his quick introduction to the basic situation of the teams of both sides, and did not report the starting list of both sides. He only explained a few Hoffenheim games, but he already knew the style of the team - that is, fast! They are very good at using the opportunity to start fast breaks after the start of the game. If you think of this period as an opportunity to be used to ponder the starting list of both sides, you are very wrong. With your head down, you may miss a very wonderful scene, or even miss a beautiful goal.

In this game, Hoffenheim got the kick-off right again, so the commentator should pay more attention.

So he did not look down at the starting list, but looked at Hoffenheim's attack first.

※※He Ping’s choice is correct.

After the kickoff, Ibisevic knocked the football forward, and Obasi turned around and passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian did not go forward directly after the football, but let the football go, turned around and passed the football backward.

But don't think that Hoffenheim will not launch a fast attack. Generally, teams' fast attacks will pass the football to the side after starting the ball, and then launch an offensive on the side, and quickly hit the opponent's penalty area. However, Hoffenheim's fast attack is not that simple. Their fast attack is not fast in the absolute sense, but fast in the relative sense. They also have to go through a series of transmissions, not directly passing it up with one big foot.

Sure enough, Chu Zhongtian did not stand in place after passing the ball, but ran back to ask the central defender Simonic for the ball. When Simonic passed the ball to him, he was almost retreating to the same line as the central defenders. He did this because the current team's defense of him is getting stricter. If he still receives the ball in the midfield, he may be cut off by the opponent's players coming from behind. So now he is running back to avoid the opponent's players who have just driven the ball.

On the back line, Chu Zhongtian calmly received the ball and turned around. The person closest to him was Robinho, but he was also more than ten meters away. This was a safe position.

Chu Zhongtian looked up at the front and made a posture of passing the big feet long - the football is in front and the person is behind, swing his arms and lifting his legs, this is the posture of the big feet.

He immediately responded to his move when he saw AC Milan's defense line. The defenders paid attention to Ibisek, Obasi, and Salihovic and Quaresma who had entered the opponent's half.

Chu Zhongtian's foot fell down but only passed the ball with a low kick. He passed the ball to Sana not far ahead.

Then he ran forward by himself.

Sana passed the football directly to him and cooperated with the wall.

Robinho is now five or six meters ahead of Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball and Robinho made a defensive move, but he was very amateur. Chu Zhongtian only changed his direction a little, and Robinho gave up and continued to defend. He is a forward and a Brazilian striker, but he will not actively defend.

Another striker, Ibrahimovic, is not the kind of striker who will actively fight in the frontcourt and defend, so Chu Zhongtian is basically safe in his backcourt.

After taking the football past Robinho, Chu Zhongtian signaled everyone to come over and not to get too far. Ibissevic was alone in front of him and he could just hold on. Salihovic and Quaresma began to pull toward the ribs.

When Chu Zhongtian crossed the center line, he felt the pressure, Captain Gattuso from AC Milan!

"Gattuso forced him up, his target was Chu! This is the first direct conversation between the two captains in this game!" the commentator shouted.

Fans watching football in China shouted: "Through him! Chu Zhongtian!"

Everyone was looking forward to the two of them having a duel like Mars colliding with Earth. However, they were disappointed. Chu Zhongtian did not have the chance to collide with Gatuso head-on. He took advantage of Gatuso's time to quickly pass the football out before Gatuso had even entangled him.

The target is Quaresma.

Quaresma did not drive the ball from the wing, but led it to the ribs, attracting another defensive midfielder from AC Milan, Flamini.

Flamini went up to defend Quaresma, while he was paying attention to Chu Zhongtian from the corner of his eyes. He was defending Quaresma because the football was under his feet now, and he was the most threatening player, but his main purpose of this game was to cooperate with Gattuso to completely freeze Chu Zhongtian.

He noticed that Chu Zhongtian was inserting from behind, so he was careful and did not pounce too fiercely. Anyway, there were Thiago Silva and Nesta behind him.

Sure enough, Quaresma saw Chu Zhongtian coming from behind and passed the football sideways!

"Hey!" Flamini was proud of his foresight. He quickly turned around and rushed towards Chu Zhongtian with the football. He was a little close to the football. Even if Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he could not avoid his steal. He took advantage of the fact that he had just received the ball and had not yet controlled it. The success rate was very high!

In addition, Gatuso was following Chu Zhongtian. Flamini didn't believe that Chu Zhongtian could run away under the joint forces of him and Gatuso!

People can go over, and the ball will be left behind!

He watched the football roll towards Chu Zhongtian, who also slowed down and wanted to catch the ball, so he tackled!

Gattuso noticed Flamini's movements. He did not follow the tackle, which would only make him collide with Flamini. He just leaned to the left and hit Chu Zhongtian, hoping to knock him in a crooked manner so that he could not catch the ball, and provide help for Flamini to intercept the ball.

The cooperation between the two people can be said to be perfect. But the premise for their success is that Chu Zhongtian wants to take the ball... Now Chu Zhongtian's foot is lifted up, but he just stepped over the top of the football and he leaked the ball!

"Beautiful leaking ball!" the commentator shouted.

The reason why he thought the ball leaked out was beautiful, not Chu Zhongtian's mistake was because he saw the whole situation on it. He knew that Salihovic had rushed up from behind Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian's leak happened to send the ball to Salihovic!

Flamini shoveled in a flash, Gattuso hit the guy, and AC Milan's two midfielders were attracted by Chu Zhongtian and nailed them to him. Salihovic didn't even have a defensive player. He received a pass from Quaresma from the 30-meter area line, and Chu Zhongtian missed the football for him. He calmly even had time to adjust the football from his right foot, which he was not good at, and then shot again!

During the whole process, no player in AC Milan rushed up to defend.

"Salihovic! Shooting-!"

The football was shot out by him, flew very low, and rushed straight to the near corner of the goal!

Thiago Silva stretched out a reflexive kick, and the football flew over the side of his calf.

Fortunately, Abiatti reacted quickly, jumped out and rapped the football out of the bottom line.

"Corner! Just one minute into the game, Hoffenheim had a very threatening shot and got a corner kick!"

The fans in the Rhine-Neka stands shouted Hoffenheim's name to cheer for their team. The game became very intense and exciting from the beginning.

The moment Salihovic shot the football headed straight to the corner, the AC Milan players' slow hearts suddenly jumped violently. They were really scared, and they didn't expect that at the beginning of the game, the opponent could have such a threatening shot... ※※※The corner kick was taken, and Salihovic opened the front point, but it was a bit low, and the football was pushed out by Flamini, who was guarding the front point.

Chu Zhongtian's miss just now made him a clown, so this time the corner kick defense was particularly vigorous. He shook his head and pushed the ball far away, landing outside the penalty area.

Chu Zhongtian was originally preparing to fight for the top in the penalty area, but as soon as he saw the football fly out, he turned around and ran out. The football was received by Kolarov, who was guarding outside. He stopped the football with his chest and looked up and saw Chu Zhongtian in the middle not far away next to him.

Without Chu Zhongtian waved and signaling, after a season of cooperation, Kolarov already knew what to do in this situation. He directly passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.

After the pass, he immediately started at high speed and went forward. At this time, AC Milan's defense line saw the football being cleared. In order to prevent the Hoffenheim players from outside from hanging the football into the penalty area, they were rushing out to make an offside, so behind them, there were large spaces of space.

Their idea was correct, but they did not notice Kolarov's existence and resolute forwarding, and Chu Zhongtian also resolutely passed over the top and diagonally! The football flew over the heads of a group of AC Milan and Hoffenheim players and landed straight on the wing.

Kolarov happened to insert it from behind and received the ball.

A AC Milan player raised his hand to signal Kolarov to offside, but the lineman at the far end saw it clearly. Kolarov was still behind when Chu Zhongtian kicked the ball. It was not until the football crossed the top of everyone's heads and fell to the side that he appeared behind the defense line and was not offside!

Kolarov did not take offside after receiving the ball, and huge cheers burst out from the stands at the Rhine-Neka Stadium.

"This is Hoffenheim's opportunity! In just three minutes, they got another very threatening offensive opportunity! The exquisite cooperation between Chu and Kolarov!"

The commentators were also excited, as if a goal could happen at any time.

Kolarov received the ball and looked up at the penalty area. He did not search for it and directly made a cross, but led the football into the penalty area!

The AC Milan defenders who found that there was no offside were running back at this time, some went to guard the goal, and some went to grab the ball under Kolarov.

Seeing the AC Milan conspiracy in the penalty area, Kolarov passed a low ball. The football did not pass in front of the goal, but behind the defenders, near the penalty spot!

Right back Serner appeared here and kicked the football!

"Serna...shot!!"

The football passed between Thiago Silva and Nesta, then passed through the tip of Abiatti's fingers, and then hit the net!

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!”
Chapter completed!
