Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 215 Who is the King of the Side Road (3)
Bayern's corner kick was taken by Schweinsteiger, and the two central defenders Van Bitten and Lucio also came to the penalty area to fight for the top, and the two of them attacked no worse than the striker in the penalty area, although they have not become a conventional weapon like Li Huan, but when Bayern can't break the deadlock, their assists or grabs in the penalty area can often complete a fatal blow.
The two high points of Toney and Klose were enough for Hoffenheim to keep busy, plus Lucio and Van Bitten, Hoffenheim's forward line did not leave a single player, they all came back to defend, only the diminutive Eduardo stayed at the front of the penalty area to play counter-attacks.
Schweinsteiger's corner kick directly to Tony this point, although Tony is 1.93 meters tall, the header ability is very strong, but the Demba Ba who defends next to him is also very strong, the two people are entangled like two wrestlers, everyone wants to squeeze the opponent away, the hands of the two people are not idle, they are pulling each other's clothes, when fighting for the corner, the referee ignores such an action. The result of the scramble was that neither of them touched the ball.
Lucio, who was in the middle of the pitch, did not have the upper hand in the scramble with Ibisevic, and the two men jumped up to grab the spot at the same time, again without touching the ball, but the two of them shook the players behind them, and Van Bitten and Obsi were stunned, and the ball flew over their heads to the other side of the goal.
Lahm waited on the other side and headed the ball over to Ze Roberto on the touchline, who took advantage of the chaos in the box to hoist the ball in again.
Ze Roberto's pass was much more threatening than Schweinsteiger's corner, and the Hoffenheim players who had just defended against were now nowhere to go, and no one could figure out who to defend but to defend nearby. In such a chaotic situation, leakage is almost inevitable.
Van Bitten was left free and there was no one to defend him, and by the time he was in the Hoffenheim player's field of vision, he had already run in the direction the ball was flying and fired a header. The ball went straight to the top right corner of the goal, and Haas was still standing on the left side of the goal.
Just at the last moment, a figure appeared in front of the goal, jumped as if flying, and pushed the ball that was about to fly into the net, it was Li Huan.
Hoffenheim's players let out a long sigh of relief, if they are led by an experienced team like Bayern, Hoffenheim's next game will be very difficult to play, Bayern's solid defense and counter-attacking play can blow up Hoffenheim's flawed backline.
Haas jumped high and got the ball and couldn't help but pat Li Huan's shoulder to express his gratitude, Li Huan appeared just now in time.
Li Huan smiled slightly, pulled to the side and reached out to Haas to ask for the ball, and Haas threw the ball and passed it to Li Huan.
Li Huan rushed from the side to Bayern's half, Hoffenheim's forward midfielder also quickly ran to Bayern's half, Li Huan's teammates all know that Li Huan has the ability to make accurate long passes, as long as they can run to the position, Li Huan's pass can be passed to their feet like a missile.
Ribery blocked the side and wanted to block Li Huan's way, Li Huan knocked the ball back to Weiss, and continued to run forward, Weiss stopped and knocked the ball directly behind Ribery, Ribery was sideways defensive, and when he saw Li Huan pass back, he turned around and ran forward alertly to prevent Li Huan and his teammates from playing one-two.
Li Huan didn't look at Ribery at all, accelerated before, and almost ran head to head with Ribery in a few steps, Ribery moved his body to block Li Huan's way, and wanted to squeeze Li Huan to the side, but Li Huan took a small arc and still grabbed the ball in front of Ribery. Li Huan didn't stop the ball or take the ball, just poked forward and continued to accelerate and threw Ribery far away.
Seeing Li Huan and Weiss play a reverse cut, Ze Roberto moved from the position of the back to the side, he has rich experience on the field, from the past ten minutes, Yang Sen is not Li Huan's opponent at all, and he can't even find a chance to foul. If he doesn't go over to help defend, Li Huan will definitely cause chaos in the Bayern penalty area. Bayern played in a double midfield today, and he passed, with Van Bommel in the middle.
It seemed to ignore Ze Roberto and Yang Sen who were waiting in front of him, and broke through single-handedly, Yang Sen and Ze Roberto showed a horn to guard the side one after the other, trying to block Li Huan's way forward and to the middle. Just wait for Li Huan to get close to their defensive area, Ze Roberto grabs, and Janssen to fill in.
Tao Wei, the commentator of the imperial court, said: "Li Huan should go to the middle at this time and cooperate with Eduardo, the side has been blocked, but the defense to the middle is intensive, and Hoffenheim still has to be patient in positional warfare......"
Tao Wei was analyzing, and suddenly Duan Xuan let out an exclamation: "Li Huan broke through!" He directly pierced Janssen's crotch behind Ze Roberto and forced his way through...... Yang Sen kicked Li Huan's ankle, and Li Huan fell...... He got up again,...... Oh my God, he caught up with the ball again...... Cross...... The ball went in...... Ibisevic! Ibisevic blocked Li Huan's cross into the net. Kahn had no choice at all, Li Huan had made a meritorious service, and Ibisevic had made a meritorious service...... The Great Hoffenheim ...... They took the lead......"
Half of the Allianz Arena turned into boiling water, half into extinguished flames, and Hoffenheim fans in blue jerseys jumped up frantically and shouted the names of Li Huan and Ibisevic, and the two joined forces to break the door of the invincible Bayern Munich. They were Hoffenheim's heroes.
Ibisevic, who has always been known for his calmness, went crazy at the goal, and he made a gliding motion with his belly against the turf after a few quick steps. The excited Hoffenheim players also fell to Ibisevic's side one by one like a small plane that swooped down, and everyone was crazy about this goal at this time, and it was definitely an incomparably glorious thing to break through Bayern's goal.
Rangnick threw the mineral water in his hand away, regardless of the suit he was wearing, and like the players on the field, he made a kneeling and sliding motion on the ground, and immediately behind him, the assistant coach and substitute players also made a sliding motion, and all the Hoffenheim players and coaches fell on the ground like penguins to celebrate. Leaving Bayern's fans and players stunned.
Hope in the VIP box also stood up excitedly, but his emotions were well controlled, and he didn't shout, just smiled and applauded.
Beckenbauer forced a smile and said: "You guys played beautifully, Li Huan tore the entire left side of Bayern alone, and you made the right bet back then." ”
Hope smirked and laughed: "I'm different from you, I fell in love with him when I first saw him playing at the University of Karlsruhe, and I bought him not only for the club, but also for my own hobby." Being able to see him play on his home turf every day is a right that no one else can buy. “
Beckenbauer sighed: "When will I be able to enjoy football as much as you do." “
Hope laughed: "Frank, you are different from me, football is a career and a life for you. “
Beckenbauer smiled slightly and stopped talking, Hope's words were in his heart, Bayern did not buy people when Li Huan was injured, except that he was not the only one in the Bayern club, but also because football is his career and life, he can't take risks like Hope.
After Hoffenheim scored, their confidence increased greatly, and the players fought harder, forgetting that it was Bayern Munich standing in front of them, and playing them as if they were ordinary opponents. Li Huan saw that Weiss did not suffer a loss in the face of Ribery alone, his assists were more frequent, from the backfield with the ball again and again directly to Bayern's penalty area, in the face of Li Huan's lightning speed and ghost-like skills, Ribery and Janssen wanted to use fouls to block Li Huan's breakthrough on the side, Ze Roberto and Lucio only continued to support Janssen, poor 33-year-old veteran Ze Roberto in the position of the back is not as long as in the position of left wingback, back and forth makes his physical energy consume very fast, Halfway through the first half, he ran for a while and took a few breaths.
On the other side, Lahm and Schweinsteiger also launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's left side, forcing Ibisevic to constantly retreat to help defend, and Gustavo frequently leaned left to help. However, Lahm and Piggy have not been able to completely tear apart Hoffenheim's left side in a short period of time.
Soon the game entered the last ten minutes of the first half, Bayern was unwilling to return to the locker room with a score of 0:1, their rhythm suddenly accelerated, and launched a more fierce attack on Hoffenheim, Lucio and Van Bitten, two central defenders took turns to dribble forward to assist, Hoffenheim's original defense was man-to-man plus zone defense, Bayern's midfield players were looked at to death, but Lucio and Van Bitten's dribbling assists made Hoffenheim's defense messed up, Lucio was unguarded, Twice dribbled to the edge of the Hoffenheim penalty area and shot with his feet, once high and once saved by Haas.
Van Bitten's attacking awareness is no worse than Lucio's, he doesn't take the ball to the edge of the box like Lucio to shoot, he splits to the wing and then goes to the front post himself.
Whether it is Lahm or Ribery, the crossing ability of both men is extremely good, and the sudden addition of Van Bitten in the Hoffenheim penalty area is a big headache for the defenders. Lahm and Franck Ribery's passes found Van Bitten's running route, forcing Hoffenheim's men to defend Van Bitten, thus creating opportunities for other players.
