“gooooooooal!!! goooooooooal!!! The TV announcer shouted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, just two minutes into the game, the Hoffenheim players in blue jerseys are hugging each other with open arms.
Just two minutes into the game, the home team took the lead!
"Chu Zhongtian split the ball to the wing, Weiss squeezed through Kadlec (michal_kadlec) and then crossed! Demba. Ba volleys hard after the ball in the middle of the box! The ball is in! It was a clean goal! No problem! ”
"Looking at the faces of the Bayer Leverkusen players, they still can't believe the ball just flew into their own goal. Just two minutes into the game, Bayer Leverkusen was already 1-0 down! ”
The 30,000-capacity Rhein-Neckar Stadium was packed today, and Hoffenheim fans wanted to see the team's revenge. The match has been hyped since a week ago – local media in Sinsheim dubbed it a "revenge fight".
Bayer Leverkusen obviously didn't expect Hoffenheim's momentum to be so strong, and was caught off guard by Hoffenheim's onslaught as soon as he came up.
The Hoffenheim players finished their celebration and ran back, and Chu Zhongtian waited on their way, high-fived everyone, and then reminded them: "Keep attacking, keep attacking, guys!" A one-goal lead is not safe, we still have to score goals, score more goals! ”
Hoffenheim's offensive was so fierce that Leverkusen could barely raise his head. It was completely unexpected, they thought that Hoffenheim had just been held to a draw by the vice-captain of the league, the morale of the team must be low, and they had a psychological advantage, so this game could definitely be won. Unexpectedly, just two minutes into the game, they let the opponent score a goal, and suddenly they were at a disadvantage.
At this time, Bayer Leverkusen's players want to be nervous, but they are prone to over-tension, resulting in abnormal performance.
It wasn't until the ninth minute that they had their first shot on goal. Helmers (patrick_helmes) received the Renato . Augusto's (renato_augusto) pass, header over the bar.
This attack was followed by a series of fierce attacks from Hoffenheim.
In the twelfth minute, Chu Zhongtian was pulled by the opponent when he was in front of the ball control, Chu Zhongtian did not give up the ball control, he put his arm up, blocked the opposing player, and protected the football under his feet. Under the interference of the opponent's tugging and kicking, he is still looking for a space to pass.
But the referee next to him, Fleischer, couldn't stand it anymore, blew the whistle in his mouth, and gave Hoffenheim a free kick in front.
The free-kick from the left was taken by Salihovic, although the angle did not look like a direct shot on goal.
Chu Zhongtian pointed to his head in the crowd, and Salihovic glanced at him without saying anything.
The referee blew the whistle when he saw that everything was ready.
Salihovic kicked the ball in front of the goal, and Chu Zhongtian jumped high in the crowd and grabbed the ball before the Bayer Leverkusen defenders!
However, Chu Zhongtian did not shoot directly at the goal, because he was surrounded by strong men from Leverkusen, and he was not sure that he would be able to put the ball in, and when he jumped into the air, he found a lot of things that could not be found on the ground, such as ...... An obvious vacancy!
Chu Zhongtian ferried the ball in the air, but the ball was closer to Bayer Leverkusen's goalkeeper Adler (rene_adler), and it looked like a mistake on the top ball, and the shot turned into a return pass.
But just as Adler stretched out his hands to catch it, a leg wearing blue socks came out of the air and stabbed the football in the air before Adler could catch the ball...... The football changed direction from Adler's side and flew into the goal!
Salihovic drove the ball out and there was chaos in front of goal...... Wait a minute...... goooooooal!! The ball is in! The goal did go in! The second ball! Hoffenheim's second goal! The man who scored the goal was ...... Comper! Central defender Comper!! It's only been 12 minutes since the opening, 2:0! Hoffenheim got off to a dream start! ”
After the goal, Camper burst out of the crowded penalty area and ran under the fan stands, shouting at the fans who were holding up the Hoffenheim scarf. And his teammates rushed forward and surrounded him. Chu Zhongtian jumped high, pressed against them, and then swung his fist at the fans in the stands.
The fans in the stands jumped up and yelled the moment the ball flew into the goal, scattering the snowflakes in their sky as if there was an extra turbulence in the air.
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!!! The fans chanted one word over and over again to the players.
"Hoffenheim also scored two goals in the last meeting between the two sides, but those two goals today are not expected to be their only takeaway from this game......"
In that game, Bayer Leverkusen had a two-goal lead in the opening 17 minutes. And today Hoffenheim only took 12 minutes to return the color, also 2:0! ”
"It seems that Hoffenheim's revenge has not become a burden, but a motivation for them."
After conceding two goals in 12 minutes, Leverkusen's players had mixed expressions, some confused, some angry, and others with their heads down and unable to see their expressions.
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands continued to excite them: "This game is not what you imagined!! ”
※※※ This game was indeed different from what the Bayer Leverkusen players imagined, they were completely stunned.
It wasn't until the 25th minute that a second shot on goal was floppy and easily picked up by goalkeeper Hildebrand.
In the 30th minute, Bayer Leverkusen finally had a good chance. Hoffenheim's backline pressed slightly higher, Barnetta (tranquillo_barta) made a through ball and Kiessling was successfully countered for offside, burst into the box with the ball, and was tripped by the onrushing Hildebrand. The referee blew a decisive penalty and also gave Hildebrand a yellow card.
"Oooh! Penalty kick! Penalty kick! There was a dramatic scene in the game! Bayer Leverkusen, who had few chances, won a penalty! As long as they can score this goal, they can make the score 1:2, and then there will be only one goal left! ”
Helmers took the penalty from team-mate Keessling, who was the team's first penalty taker. Fourteen goals have been scored so far, four of which have come from penalties. He is second in the scorers' charts and is a rival to Ibisevic. Ibisevic has already scored his 21st goal against Ivbus to extend the gap to seven goals, although he has failed to score against Borussia Mönchengladbach and has not scored so far in this game. Helmers had just had to score that goal to fifteen goals, six goals away from Ibisevic.
"Helmers came to take the penalty...... He will continue to challenge Ibisevic for the top spot in the scorer charts. ”
As Helmers walked to the penalty spot, the 4,000-odd Leverkusen fans sang incessantly, ready to cheer for the goal. Although the first 12 minutes were beaten badly, and two goals were scored in a row, as long as this penalty was scored, then there was hope for the game, and it was not difficult to play with only one goal.
Although Hoffenheim you are crazy, you have only been crazy for ten minutes, and the next game will be put into our orbit! Wait and see, hillbilly team!
"Helmers pushes the middle! The ball is in! The ball is in! Bayer Leverkusen tied the score at 1:2! They see hope again! ”
"Helmers! He scored his fifteenth goal of the season! It's only six goals away from Ibisevic! ”
"Bayer! Bayer 04! We're going to win! We are the twelfth person who will always support you! Bayer 04, the heart of the lion always beats for you!! "The Leverkusen fans sang songs cheering for Leverkusen in the stands.
Bayer Leverkusen coach Labadia (bruno_labbadia) jumped from the ground in excitement after seeing Helmers score. He also believes that the penalty will be the turning point of the whole game, and Bayer Leverkusen, who have pulled one back, will be demoralized, and then the opponent will dominate, pressing Hoffenheim to finally repeat the first half of the season, which they eventually won.
Leverkusen thought the next race would come into their tracks. But just a minute after they scored, Chu Zhongtian used a high-quality long-range shot to make a wonderful but slightly embarrassing save from Adler. This shot told the Bayer Leverkusen players that the game was still on our tracks!
"Oh - Chu's 'Great China Cannon'!" The on-site commentators were about to shout for a goal, but Adler pounced sideways and flicked the ball out with his fingertips. "Beautiful! Shoot beautifully, keep beautifully! ”
Chu Zhongtian also regretted that the ball was saved by Adler. But he is facing Germany, and it is not surprising that the other side has such a performance.
When Yang Chen was in Frankfurt, he once broke through the ten fingers of the German national Kopke twice in one game, which made the domestic media cheer and excited. Being able to break through the Ten Fingers of Germany is like a very important achievement.
Just conceding a goal did not affect the morale of the team, Hoffenheim still attacked the Leverkusen goal, and Leverkusen had to choose to defend and counterattack.
In the 35th minute, Salihovic's direct free kick grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds, shocking the Leverkusen people into a cold sweat.
In the 40th minute, Chu Zhongtian was brought down by Castro (gonzalo_castro) when he dribbled the ball in the front court, and Castro also received a yellow card for it. He was the right wing-back for Bayer Leverkusen in this game, and now he received a yellow card before the end of the first half, Hoffenheim will definitely attack his side in the second half, and then his pressure will increase exponentially, how can he ensure that he can't be beaten in that pressure? So this yellow card is bound to make Castro intimidated in defence.
In the 41st minute, Bayer Leverkusen used a counterattack, and Helmers hit the goal with a powerful shot, but the ball went wide of the goal.
It was Leverkusen's third shot of the first half.
Bayer Leverkusen have been in excellent form this season, having been third in the league at one point before the winter break, behind Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich. But such a team was beaten so badly by Hoffenheim today that it was almost impossible to raise its head.
What is even more frustrating is that the head coach Labadia has no choice but to watch the team be humiliated.
The team did not have the upper hand, and the momentum of recovering a point from the penalty spot had long been slowly exhausted in Hoffenheim's dream, and Leverkusen's players were getting more and more aggressive.
In the 44th minute, Salihovic was brought down by Kadlec while dribbling inside on the wing, and the referee awarded Hoffenheim a free-kick.
It would have been a very ordinary decision, but the Bayer Leverkusen defenders were emotional, believing that the referee was deliberately biased in favour of the home team and that many of the decisions were unfair. But in fact, Kadlec did commit a foul, he missed the football with the first kick, and swept Salihovic down from behind with the second heel.
Bayer Leverkusen's centre-back Eenrique also received a yellow card for protesting against the referee. With two players at the back with a yellow card, the second half will be even more difficult for the team...... Salihovic was going to hit the goal directly, but the free-kick was walled.
Because Salihovic shot directly, Chu Zhongtian did not squeeze to the goal, he stood in the center of the front of the penalty area, but slightly further back than Salihovic's position.
When the football kicked by Salihovic smashed into the wall and bounced back, it happened to fall on Chu Zhongtian's side.
Chu Zhongtian used his chest to unload the football in the air, and then he picked up his right leg without waiting for the football to hit the ground - and volleyed directly!
Salihovic's free kick was twenty-two meters away from the goal, and Chu Zhongtian's current position was nearly thirty meters from the goal.
As soon as the football fell a little below the knee, it was hit by Chu Zhongtian's right foot, and then flew flat towards the goal!
This long-range shot does not fly upwards like other long-range shots, Chu Zhongtian's shot is flat and hits the football, so the football also flies over flat, which is really a bit of a "cannon".
"Chu's long-range shot-"
No sooner had the Bayer Leverkusen wall that had blocked Salikhovic dispersed than they saw the football rush again, this time they didn't have time or be able to organize the wall again, and the football passed between Leverkusen's captain Rolfes and Augusto, and they didn't react at all.
Then the ball rushed into the penalty area, which was full of people, but the ball still didn't touch anyone, and some people completely reflexively raised their legs, and the ball got through.
When Adler saw that the football had broken through the obstacles and had reached him, it was too late to make any more moves, and he was only halfway through the action of pressing down to pounce on the ball, and the ball was already hitting his arm.
The football hit Adler's arm and jumped again, flying directly into the goal behind the German goal...... "Ball-in--!" Duan Bin cheered in his studio in Beijing.
“goooooal!” The electronic screen at the scene played an animation showing the goal.
"World Wave!" The Bundesliga commentator exclaimed. "Thirty meters of long shot! Chu shot through Adler's Ten Fingers! Such a goal is wonderful! Of course, this is not the case for Adler...... Hoffenheim extend their lead back to two goals! 3:1! Such Hoffenheim looks like it is invincible! ”
"It's a morale-boosting goal! It is also a demoralization blow to Leverkusen! Look at their expressions after conceding the ball - not anger, but helplessness! Adler was shaking his head, he was unprepared for such a sudden shot, although he had already made a save, but Chu Zhongtian's shot was too fast! Ah, the speed has been counted...... One hundred and seven kilometers per hour! It's amazing! This is the fastest kick that Chu Zhongtian has counted in all shots! ”
"Great China Cannon!!" The German commentator shouted. "The speed is more than 100 kilometers per hour, Adler, you are not unjustly lost this goal!"
Chu Zhongtian was also very excited after the goal, he didn't expect his volley to hit the world. You must know that this kind of ball is hard to come by, and now he may not be able to shoot so beautifully with a kick, such a goal is precious, and it can also make the scorer more excited.
As soon as he was excited, he took off his jersey, and everyone noticed that on a night when the temperature was below zero, he did not wear a thermal underwear under his jersey like other players, but only wore a long-sleeved jersey. Now after taking off the only autumn coat on his body, he celebrated the victory with his muscular upper body, and everyone clearly saw his six-pack abs...... "Wow!" Duan Bin shouted. After the goal, Chu Zhongtian was really excited, he took off his shirt, haha! He's going to get a yellow card, but a yellow card for a world wave, it's worth it! ”
It was really worth it, Chu Zhongtian stripped off his clothes to celebrate the goal and then received a yellow card warning from the referee Fleisher, but he ignored the referee, put on his shirt again and ran back.
He doesn't care, but someone does. The Hoffenheim fans in the stands booed the referee, maybe Duan Bin didn't remember, but the Hoffenheim fans remembered their captain clearly, this was Chu Zhongtian's fourth yellow card, and if he ate another one, he would be automatically suspended for one game for accumulating five yellow cards...... Chu Zhongtian had just scored a goal, and he was so excited that he didn't think about it so much. Even if he thought about it, he wouldn't remember how many yellow cards he had received...... but at the end of the first half, Bayer Leverkusen allowed Hoffenheim to score in such a morale-boosting way, and they suffered a very serious blow. I don't know how the rest of the game was played. In a daze, it went into halftime.
At half-time, Labadia scolded everyone in the hope of cheering the team up.
At the start of the second half, he made two substitutions in a row. Idber (thomas_zdebel) was replaced with Sinkivic (lukas_sinkiewicz), a counter-substitution, with both men playing defensive midfield, but Idjevic was younger than Idebel. At the same time, Greek striker Charlisteas (angelos_charisteas) replaced the mediocre Kiessling.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the second half began, Hoffenheim reproduced the scene at the beginning of the first half - in the 46th minute, Salihovic took a corner kick from the left side, Adler attacked, but Leverkusen's defense actually allowed the diminutive Weiss to grab the ball in front of the goal, Weiss flicked the header, and the football flew into the goal from in front of Adler! Because all this happened so fast, Castro, who was guarding the front point, did not react!
4:1!
