Chapter 231 The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken!
Perhaps the players on the field of AC Milan were still a little confused and surprised, thinking that the ball was offside first. However, the fans in the stands and the TV audience could see it clearly. After watching Kolarov pass the football across the board to Chu Zhongtian, they made a two-pass n-slamming cooperation with Chu Zhongtian, and did not offside. Then they broke into the penalty area and swept the football to the center of the penalty area. AC Milan players were all snatching the first shot and retreated to the front of the goal in one breath. The area near the penalty spot in the center of the penalty area was quite weak. Although it was not Chu Zhongtian, Quaresma or Sana, but Serna, the right-back that appeared there was a bit surprising, but the powerful and heavy shot was not a problem at all. The football shot too fast, making AC Milan players unable to react.
Rhine Neka Stadium broke out, and more than 25,000 Hoffenheim fans made huge cheers and roars.
"Long live! Hoffenheim! Long live!"
"It's only four minutes into the game! Hoffenheim took the lead! It's a typical Hoffenheim-style fast break!"
The commentators yelled.
"This is the goal-scoring method that Hoffenheim is best at! Fast passes and fast running positions make the opponent unable to imagine the rhythm. The opponent can only be led by their nose, and there is no way!"
"Serner! He scored his first goal since joining Hoffenheim! It was actually in such an important game!"
"The goal was scored in four minutes of the game, which is the perfect start for Hoffenheim! The next game will be dragged into the rhythm they are most familiar with! AC Milan is facing difficulties!"
When he saw Kolarov breaking into the penalty area, Allegri stood up from his seat in shock from the field, and then he saw the team's concealment of the goal.
For this goal loss, he blamed the players for just starting the game and not focusing enough.
But no matter what the reason is, if you lose the ball, you will lose the ball. Now they are behind. How should you play the game?
The players of AC Milan were also confused. The game had just begun. The only ones who had encountered football were Abiati who saved the game and Framini who headed the ball. All the other AC Milan players, no matter how big they were, were not even touched by football, and were behind. This was really an unexpected situation for them.
Some people ran to the linebacker and protested to them that the ball was offside when Kolarov received the ball, so it should be offside first, and Serner's goal did not count.
The lineman shook his head and signaled that he could see clearly that the ball was not offside. Chu Zhongtian and Kolarov cooperated very beautifully.
The big screen on the scene was replaying the goal. The players of AC Milan raised their heads to look for evidence, but they were silent. They saw the slow motion of Kolarov and Chu Zhongtian passing. The TV broadcaster even made a freeze at the moment when Chu Zhongtian passed the ball. The freeze-framed picture was clearly displayed. At the moment when Chu Zhongtian passed the ball, Kolarov was still in front of AC Milan's defense line, and those dragged behind were Thiago Silva, Nesta and Antonini. It can be said that except for Zambrota, Milan's entire defense line was behind. How could it be offside?
Milan's defense line was somewhat unable to keep up with the rhythm under the continuous impact of Hoffenheim, and was hit by Chu Zhongtian's pass and Kolarov's forward insertion.
"Milan players are still protesting Kolarov's offside, but the TV replay clearly tells us that this ball is not offside and is not offside at all!"
The AC Milan players had nothing to say and had no choice but to accept the fact that they were scored by the opponent in four minutes of the game, thus falling behind.
※※※ Unlike the frustration of AC Milan players, Hoffenheim players were very excited and even a little ecstatic. The game was saved and scored at the beginning of the game, which was the best start of all the starts. After leading, the game can be played very calmly, and they can drag the game into the rhythm and track they are familiar with. Especially Hoffenheim is good at fast football, which is more beneficial to them.
AC Milan must push out and attack Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim is least afraid of others' attacks. What he is afraid of is to set up his posture and move. If they can't score a goal for a long time, with AC Milan's strength, the game will become like that. So it can be said that Hoffenheim's fast football is the nemesis of AC Milan, but AC Milan's steady football is also the nemesis of Hoffenheim.
The two teams are mutually rebellious, and it depends on who can take the lead. If AC Milan is leading now, then Hoffenheim will hardly have the opportunity or method to counterattack. When they face the stable football of AC Milan, they cannot perform their speed and cannot find loopholes, so they can only wait for the opponent to fight back.
So Rangnick asked the team to score goals as soon as possible.
Fortunately, they did it too!
After celebrating the goal crazy, Hoffenheim players ran back to prepare for the game. At this time, nearly six minutes had passed, and the celebration of Hoffenheim players lasted for more than a minute.
※※※Allegri had no choice but to pay attention to Chu Zhongtian before the game, so he arranged Gattuso and Flamini to deal with Chu Zhongtian. Unexpectedly, even so, Chu Zhongtian instigated Hoffenheim's threatening attack twice, and also caused goals. Chu Zhongtian was a key figure in each attack.
It seems that Allegrini's containment strategy has no effect on Chu Zhongtian.
After the game restarted, AC Milan took advantage of their possession opportunity to move forward. But they quickly discovered the problem.
Every player on the field at Hoffenheim, including forwards Ibissevic and Obasi, seems to have transformed into defenders. They started to press AC Milan's players from the forward line. Even if Milan's defenders were forced to pass the football back to the goalkeeper, they were like hyenas, chasing them relentlessly.
Not only for the striker, but also in the midfield, Hoffenheim pressed against AC Milan players who took the ball. I won’t talk about the two midfielders Chu Zhongtian and Sana. They do this specifically in defense.
Even Salihovic and Quaresma were put into defense. In particular, Quaresma, his active return to defense on the wing surprised the Italian commentator - when Quaresma was in Inter Milan, even if there was an iron-fisted coach like Mourinho, he never participated in defense, so he was put on the bench and did not change his habit.
The Italian commentator didn't know what happened. But Chu Zhongtian must be very clear. Quaresma knew that this was the last chance of his career. If he didn't work hard, he might have to go away again. Maybe he had to go to the Turkish League this time... Hoffenheim's defense started from the opponent's penalty area, which made AC Milan players very uncomfortable.
As long as any player gets the ball, he will worry about the Hoffenheim players who are coming out of the diagonal stalker. In order to grab the ball, they will do nothing to foul, especially the forwards and forwards. Because they are in a high position when defending, they will only whistle even if they make a foul and will not give cards, so Ibisekvics are willing to foul.
The frequent fouls after repeated interruptions of AC Milan's offensive rhythm, making them uncomfortable to kick and unable to get into the state for a long time.
Pirlo, especially, was given the key care of Hoffenheim players. Sana and Chu Zhongtian took turns to press him closely.
Where is Seedov?
Sidorf's condition is very bad today. It can be seen from the beginning of the game that when the team conceded the ball, even Pirlo returned to the penalty area to defend, but could not see the Dutch. In the offense, his pace was obviously slow. As soon as the football reached his feet, the offensive speed was dragged down. Then Hoffenheim's players forced him up again, and once he pressed, the ball was lost.
Even the neutral commentator could only keep shaking his head when talking about Seedorf's performance.
Sidorf, who is in normal form, is one of the very threatening sources of AC Milan's attack. But now he has become the origin of Hoffenheim's attack - there have been several times when the football was cut off by Hoffenheim players from Sidorf's feet, and then the attack was launched.
Pirlo was suppressed by Sana and Chu Zhongtian, and he was often defending - Hoffenheim's offensive was too fierce, one wave after another, whether in the middle or the side, all have the same characteristic: fast!
Hoffenheim's speed made AC Milan players very uncomfortable. They were always exhausted by the opponent's rapid impact. It seemed that their defense line had no system at all. They would have been scattered by Hoffenheim's fast attack. If Nesta and Thiago Silva had not performed well, the goal would have been pierced many times.
The commentator kept praising Nesta's sword for the future, and Thiago Silva was awesome, but to AC Milan fans, they would rather not praise this because it means that their goal is always in a very dangerous situation.
Hoffenheim's fast attack had already made many people's eyes lit up at the Bernabeu, but at that time Real Madrid's attack was also very fast, both sides were soon, so there was no comparison, and it was not obvious. It was not until this time that everyone discovered that Hoffenheim's vigor had reached a very terrible level.
Quaresma, Obasi, Serner and Kolarov are not slow in their personal speeds. Coupled with the rapid transmission of Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic, the push is like giving Hoffenheim a wing to the high-speed operation. They can fly as soon as they soar!
"Hoffenheim's quick counterattack! Sana passed the football to Chu! Chu dribbled the ball in a diagonal line... There was a lot of room on the right side! The diagonal pass, beautiful! Quaresma inserted at the high speed, and he received the ball... At this time, there was a room on Hoffenheim's left side again! Passing the ball! It penetrated! Salihovic received the ball and crossed again... Nesta! He appeared at the position he should have appeared! The clearance was successful!"
"It's Hoffenheim's fast attack opportunity again! Kolarov inserted at the wing high speed, Chu's direct pass, Kolarov used his speed to eat Zanbrota! In front of the impactful Kolarov, he was the best right-back, showing his old look!"
"Chu dribbled the ball in the middle! Gatuso forced him up. He and Ibisevic who was retreating made a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation, and threw away Gatuso... It can be seen that Gatuso's turn speed was obviously slower. At the age of thirty-two, he is no longer the omnipotent butcher who was running all over the field!"
...There are many scenes like this.
Moreover, Hoffenheim's speed is still playing faster and faster.
Allegri originally thought that Hoffenheim would have a strong morale after leading, and that their offensive was also normal. As long as they responded to changes in the same situation and survived this period, they would be a chance to counterattack. At that time, AC Milan would regain the rhythm of the game, just like they often did.
Unexpectedly, Hoffenheim's offensive craze showed no sign of retreating as soon as it surged.
He Ping couldn't help but use such words to describe Hoffenheim's offensive frenzy: "The world's martial arts are strong and can be broken, but it's fast and can't be broken!"
The game ended in the fifteenth minute, and the score was still 1:0. Hoffenheim, who played at home, led the way. From the scene, AC Milan had no way to equalize the score, but his defense line might continue to concede the ball.
Gattuso and Flamini arranged by Allegri to join forces to curb Chu Zhongtian. In addition to Gattuso's continued efforts, Flamini could not defend Chu Zhongtian at all. In front of his pass and dribbling, he seemed at a loss - he didn't know whether Chu Zhongtian's next step was to pass, or dribble, or shoot. When he thought Chu Zhongtian would continue to break through, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball. When he thought Chu Zhongtian would pass the ball and stuck the passing route, Chu Zhongtian adjusted slightly and broke through. When he thought Chu Zhongtian could neither pass the ball nor break through, he shot.
Chu Zhongtian made him very embarrassed, and he had to be distracted to defend other Hoffenheim players.
After all, Gattuso is experienced. When he saw that Chu Zhongtian was becoming more and more unpredictable, he simply made a foul and used fouls to curb Chu Zhongtian's performance, just like Hoffenheim used fouls to disrupt AC Milan's offensive rhythm.
At the same time, his foul was also a manifestation of being dissatisfied with his team's performance. His team's offense was not good at attacking, and he was not good at attacking. He had no other good way except to work hard on defense. He was so frustrated by Hoffenheim that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he just had to vent it on Chu Zhongtian.
AC Milan finally got a corner kick, but was directly hugged by Hoffenheim goalkeeper Enyema. Enyema launched a fast attack and quickly threw the ball to Chu Zhongtian outside the penalty area with his hand.
After receiving the ball, Chu Zhongtian turned around and walked forward, but was pushed to the ground by Gattuso. A tactical foul was exchanged for the time his teammates returned to defense. This was a very smart foul.
However, such fouls can only reflect AC Milan's current predicament from another aspect. Faced with Hoffenheim's rapid attack, they seemed to be able to rely on Nesta, Thiago Silva, and Abiati's performance besides the foul.
Gattuso, who pushed Chu Zhongtian, turned around and ran away, but did not come up to pull Chu Zhongtian up. This is his style. Chu Zhongtian is his enemy, so of course he will not show friendship to his enemies.
But Chu Zhongtian didn't care. He got up from the ground and patted the grass chips on his thighs.
Teammate Sana came up to care about him. He shrugged and looked at Gattuso's back and said, "It's okay. He's still merciful."
He could understand Gattuso's mood at this moment. Seeing the whole team performing so badly, he was anxious, but he could no longer help his teammates on offense. Except for defense, his abilities in other aspects were average. Just like when he was playing football at Wimbledon, he saw that the team could not win the ball, and as a midfield engineer, he could not do anything except anxiety. The feeling of powerlessness made him think of scoring goals and helping the team on offense. So he had the current all-round midfielder Chu Zhongtian.
※※※Hoffenheim got a free kick in the backcourt due to Gattuso's foul.
AC Milan players took this opportunity to run back to their half.
Chu Zhongtian stood in front of the football and he was going to take the free kick. He did not drive directly into the front with a big foot, but passed it to the wingback Serner next to him.
Then Chu Zhongtian changed his position and asked Serna to ask. The Croatian full-back passed the football to him and ran forward along the sideline. His running pulled AC Milan's defensive player. Pirlo followed Serna back, but did not come up to force Chu Zhongtian. At the same time, AC Milan also focused his defense on this side. Chu Zhongtian did not continue to entangle AC Milan here, but turned directly to the middle.
He drove the ball to the middle, and Robinho forced him up. Chu Zhongtian passed the ball to Sana, and he ran over Robinho.
Seeing that he got rid of Robinho, Sana passed the football back.
Chu Zhongtian received the ball and made a fake move to break through the ribs in a straight line, which attracted Flamini to take the initiative to take a step back, but he pushed the ball into the middle with his right foot and continued to walk horizontally into the middle.
Gattuso was waiting for him in the middle. Seeing his face full of flesh-bearded and his posture, he seemed to plan to keep Chu Zhongtian here.
He did this. As soon as Chu Zhongtian pushed the football to the middle, Gatuso rushed over and spread his legs and took a flying shovel!
Chu Zhongtian's reaction was fast enough. If he was a little slower, he would be really put to the ground by Gattuso.
He watched Gatuso shovel at him, twisted his body and stabbed the ball to the right with his left foot. At the same time, he turned around and turned between Gatuso's "scissor legs"!
When he was at Metz, Chu Zhongtian was staring at Gatuso in a very embarrassing manner. He could only launch a threatening attack when Gatuso was injured. Now three years have passed, and the mature Chu Zhongtian faces the old Gatuso, and the balance of victory and loss tilts towards Chu Zhongtian... I don’t know what it feels like to see the former Milan hero Gatuso flashing by Chu Zhongtian with such a beautiful turn movement.
After Chu Zhongtian flashed past Gattuso, his steps were a little staggering, but he was still running forward.
The football he just poked out was not blind. He saw Quaresma leaning towards the middle, so he poked the football over.
After receiving the ball, Quaresma immediately passed the ball to Chu Zhongtian, and once again two and one!
Chu Zhongtian was still staggering, but he still received the ball. He kept adjusting the football and breaking into the penalty area!
"Chu! Beautiful continuous and fast transfer and cutting cooperation!"
There was another huge cheer in the stands.
Chu Zhongtian stumbled into the ball, and Thiago Silva rushed over. Chu Zhongtian saw Silva. Before his body could be adjusted, he turned his body slightly to block Silva's impact.
At this time, Chu Zhongtian's physical fitness played a crucial role, and Silva's collision did not knock him down!
Seeing that Chu Zhongtian did not fall to the ground, but continued to break in, Nesta also rushed over. The two central defenders were guarding Chu Zhongtian, so he would definitely not be able to escape from Tian Tian!
Silva intercepted the ball from behind, and Nestacai was on Chu Zhongtian's shooting route. The experienced Italian defender knew that Chu Zhongtian no longer had the ability to continue to break in because his center of gravity was no longer stable, and he could only throw away the ball possession when he moved forward. In order to prevent him from shooting, Nesta was stuck on his shooting route.
Chu Zhongtian leaned back and leaned against Thiago Silva, who was moving behind him with a small movement, barely supporting his body with his left foot, and then raised his right foot.
Everyone thought he was shooting, but who thought that when he hit the football, the football did not fly towards the goal, but flew horizontally to the other side of Nesta!
"Pass!"
"pretty!!"
"Ibisevic!!"
Amid the exclamations of a group of commentators, Ibisevic, who had been ambushing in the penalty area, received a pass from Chu Zhongtian. Then, facing the huge empty goal and Abiati who had no time to block the angle, he raised his left foot and shot!
The football drew an arc in the air, bypassed Abiatti's hand, and flew into the goal under the attention of everyone... "Ibissevic - gooooooooooooooooal!!! goooooooooooooooooooool!!! Hoffenheim led AC Milan 2:0 at his home court!!"
Chapter completed!
