Hoffenheim's quick goal disrupted Schalke 04's plan to drag Hoffenheim to win the championship, with Hoffenheim's strength, Slomka didn't think Schalke 04 had the strength to win before the game, and it would be good to get a draw. But the losing score is behind, what is the difference between losing 1 goal and losing 10 goals, they are all not a point, against the current Schalke 04; There is only one way to attack. Slomka turned his heart and stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly into the arena. Let his players continue to play against Hoffenheim, and the fans of Schalke 04 also shouted for their team to cheer.

After the miners of Schalke 04 kicked off, the pressing became more active and ferocious, and after grabbing the ball, they passed to the striker with a big foot, and pressed forward together in the middle and the wing, and there was a tendency for black clouds to crush the city.

Hoffenheim could have contracted at this time and played the opponent's counter-attack steadily, but this was their last game at the Karl Benz Stadium, and the players were bent on a perfect curtain call, not to get three points, how could they be willing to be besieged by Schalke 04.

Hoffenheim's pressing is crazier than Schalke 04, every corner of the field, every inch of turf has Hoffenheim players and Schalke 04 scramble, everyone is a ball not to let go, hard to scramble, from time to time on the field can see the scene of people turning over on their backs. The referee's grasp of the penalty scale is not very strict, the action is a little smaller, the game has been very smooth, the rhythm of the attack is very fast, this side Hoffenheim's attack has just ended, and the ball has already hit his own doorstep.

The exclamations and cheers in the stands continued, the home and away teams were almost mixed together, and the shouts of the two head coaches on the side of the stadium were also faintly audible, these shouts, cheers, and exclamations made the atmosphere more intense, and the rhythm of the game became faster and more intense.

Hoffenheim has been smooth sailing in recent times, once the lead, it is basically a big score to slaughter the opponent, and rarely encounter such a ferocious resistance, their fire surname also fought, in the huge cheers of the fans, Hoffenheim is more and more energetic, they are good at physical fitness and running, everyone is ruthless, or Hoffenheim gradually has the upper hand.

In the thirtieth minute of the game, Hoffenheim's offensive advantage was getting bigger and bigger, especially the right side combination of Li Huan and Arshavin, Arshavin was not very defensive, and when Rangnick sent him to start, he generally did not give him the task of defense, but today's Arshavin obviously played with fire and passion, and he also continued to steal with Obasi and Li Huan, and launched a counterattack at any time.

Players like Li Huan and Arshavin are also very good at stealing, they are all players with good skills, they can basically see through the opponent's feints, and the frequency on the feet is fast, when they counterattack after the steal, one person can single-handedly pick up the opponent's defensive line, and the left side of Schalke 04 is gradually suppressed in the back, and can no longer stand up.

In the 35th minute, Li Huan broke through with the ball from the side, Schalke 04's midfielder Jones flew over, and Li Huan was still four or five meters away from a sliding tackle and came over with a sliding tackle, simply wanting to put people down with the ball, but because the game just now has been so intense, neither the players, fans nor the referee felt that this action was too big.

Li Huan was already dribbling the ball at high speed, and when Jones shoveled over, Li Huan actually increased his speed by one point, dodged Jones's tackle, and left Jones behind, but Schalke 04's pressing came very quickly, Li Huan just flashed Jones, and Engal galloped to the left to support Westermann.

Li Huan did not break through, saw that Ngral arrived faster than himself, and immediately distributed the ball to Arshavin on the left side behind him, Arshavin took the ball directly to the middle, and attacked the middle with Eduardo, Ibishevic and Demba Ba continued to run in the middle, disrupting Schalke 04's defense.

At this time, the deterrent effect of Li Huan's free kick is very obvious, and when it comes to this dangerous area, Hoffenheim's players feel that it is dangerous and immediately put a shovel, or even foul directly. But Schalke 04's players don't dare to foul, and can only use legitimate defensive skills to deal with the players who take the ball, so that Hoffenheim's players can cooperate wantonly at the front of the penalty area, Hoffenheim did not cooperate well last season, so when there are many people in the front of the penalty area, they don't need the opponent to force them to pass the ball, or even pass directly to the opponent's feet. But this season they have a high degree of tacit understanding, and the passing error rate in a small area is also much lower, and the defense of Schalke 04 has been pulled out of the air after three passes and two downs.

However, pulling out the vacancy and seizing the vacancy are not the same thing, the opponent is a flexible person, and someone will make up for the defense immediately after the vacancy is exposed, which can be described as fleeting. Without good reading skills and a sense of the big picture, without subtle footwork, even if you find a gap, you will not be able to grasp it.

But Arshavin is one of the best stars in Europe, and he is not lacking in all of the above, and when he saw an open space in the middle of the opponent's penalty area, he immediately passed the ball at his feet to that gap, and Demba Ba followed up and slid the ball into the box.

Full-back Raphinha saw that the momentum was not good, and he was worried about Demba Ba's direct shot, so he ran from the right-back position and made a sliding tackle towards Demba Ba.

The home fans and visiting fans in the stands let out an exclamation, it is definitely a very bold act to put a tackle in the penalty area, and the slightest mistake can be sentenced to death, this is not because the Brazilian defender is so bold, because he has no time to run over to fill the position, so he can only block Demba Ba's shot in this way, so that goalkeeper Novel has time to come out and get the ball.

Demba Ba wants to shoot at Raphinha's legs, and there is a possibility of injury, but as long as he dodges, the defenders behind him will come over in a steady stream, at this time Demba Ba did not force a shot, but with his right ankle, rubbed the ball to the right side of the penalty area, that position is the area where Ibyshevic is located, although Demba Ba did not see Ibisevic, but the tacit understanding brought by the long-term cooperation made Demba Ba feel that Ibisevic must run to which position.

Ibisevic showed up in the area of Demba Ba's pass, he stopped the ball with his chest, waited for the ball to land, and then stepped forward and slammed the ball into the box. Ibisevic's pass was not targeted, but it was very powerful, almost like the power of a shot, and anyone who touched the ball in the box was bound to fly into the net.

Even so, there were several Schalke 04 players who were not afraid to grab points to clear the ball, Arshavin, Eduardo, Demba Ba, and Obbasi all crowded in front of the goal to grab a point to shoot. Unfortunately, Ibisevic's pass was too strong, and seven or eight people in the penalty area grabbed the point again but did not touch it, allowing the ball to fly out in a small gap in front of the goal.

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of the sideline, suddenly a tall figure grabbed the ball, blocked the ball with his feet, went forward, and swept the ball into the penalty area again.

Li Huan's passing power is greater than that of Ibisevic, the chaotic situation in the penalty area has not eased a little, and I don't know who did not dodge Li Huan's pass, the ball touched his body and immediately bounced into the net. So fast that even Novel, known for his reactions, didn't have time to lift a finger.

No one knows if it was a goal that was hit by someone or a goal that was blocked, but after the goal was scored, the Hoffenheim fans and Schalke 04 fans, who were inseparable, were immediately separated. After the goal, the Hoffenheim players rushed out of the penalty area, and they all ran to the stands and bowed and applauded the fans in the stands again. The fans in the stands burst into warm applause, and because they didn't know who scored the goal, the fans waved the flags in their hands and shouted Li Huan and Hoffenheim who passed the ball.

The on-site commentators also began to shout, "Another goal!" Hoffenheim scored, it was Li Huan who passed the ball, I don't know who scored the goal, and I don't know if it was an own goal, let's take a look at the slow motion of the replay in a while. This is the same as the first goal, it is a team cooperation, after more than a dozen kicks, Li Huan finally launched the final fatal pass. Hoffenheim also got their wish to seal the win. It's 38 minutes into the first half, and there is still a long way to go before the end of the game, and the Schalke 04 boss will have to be careful, Bayern have been scored six goals by Hoffenheim at their own home, and Schalke 04 can block a few.

Slomka's face was pale, the muscles twitched a little, he had now seen his fate defeated, and after being 2-0 down at home to Hoffenheim, they wouldn't have had much chance even for a top-class team like Barcelona and Manchester United. Now Slomka is mainly thinking about how they can lose this game if they must lose in order to win the support of the fans.

Slomka also saw that Hoffenheim's strength is indeed stronger than Schalke 04 at this time, but he is a coach with strong adaptability, he immediately weighed the pros and cons, and when Hoffenheim's players and fans were celebrating, Slomka called the core players to the sidelines and told them to continue to attack, no matter what method they use, they must strive for goals. You must not be like Bayern and be shaved head. For Slomka, no matter how many Hoffenheim score, they just need to score. With Bayern at the bottom of the net swallow of six goals, Schalke 04 can be accepted by fans as long as it is a little better than Bayern.
