For the first time this season, Hoffenheim faced a team that was heavily defensive, and Bielefeld's dense defense did a good job, opening with two layers of human walls at their door, four defenders and five midfielders, leaving only a No. 9 Aigle in front. After the kick-off in the centre circle, only Aigler, Coucella and Bomme rushed through the centre circle, with the rest of the players waiting in the back.

Former Mannheim star Coral who served as a guest commentator on the scene couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this scene, and said: "Middendorp is too polite today, even if you plan to defend intensively, you have to make a show at the beginning, you can only defend and counterattack because of your lack of strength, and you can explain to your fans when you go back, but he is good, just waiting for Hoffenheim to attack in the back." ”

Hoffenheim were of course not to be polite when their opponents ceded the reins of attack, and their players were about to test what the Bundesliga's dense defence was like, and how much stronger their iron buckets were than those in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim has a lot of weapons to break the dense defense, there are three tall strikers of more than 1.8 meters among them, and the body is strong, Li Huan's long-range shots can often break the deadlock, and Li Huan's free kick is a huge deterrent for players who play dense defense.

Possession was quickly snatched up by Hoffenheim's players, who then carried out their tactical drills to break down the dense defence. Since Bielefeld did not take the initiative to attack and did not fight for possession in the midfield, Li Huan and Ibetzberg could easily press through the half, and they cooperated with the wing-backs to break through on the flanks to form in-cuts and crosses.

However, Bielefeld can stand in the Bundesliga with defensive counter-attacks, and their defense must have their own experience, Hoffenheim's wing has a lot of cross opportunities, but none of them are comfortable crosses, they are all technical actions completed under the interference of the opponent, and it is impossible to easily complete the cross opportunity.

Bielefeld has played against Li Huan's Karlsruhe, and Middendorp has studied Li Huan very thoroughly, and he let the defender tightly jam Li Huan's line from the baseline and ribs. The gap in the bottom line was not big, and the opponent deliberately thought of this, and it was impossible for Li Huan to fly over the head of the defender.

Eduardo and Sarihovic faced more resistance in the middle, with five midfielders in front of the opposition's back four, almost like two walls in a free-kick. Hoffenheim's midfielders have a hard time breaking through the first layer of defence, let alone the second. Eduardo's breakthrough was useless, and his through ball after attracting the defence was intercepted by Bielefeld's centre-back on several occasions.

After playing for more than 20 minutes, the ball was basically played in Bielefeld's half, and occasionally flew to Hoffenheim's half because Bielefeld's defenders cleared too much. For the first time since being promoted to the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's goalkeeper Haas has become so relaxed, he is too idle at the back, either grimacing at the stands, dancing there and doing various warm-up activities, and talking to centre-back Jaisler from time to time.

Jaisler is not as easy as Haas, he is the team's second line of defence, and once the opponent launches a counter-attack, he and Compaq will face him directly. He and Compaq had to watch the range and route of the opposition striker carefully, and once the opponent had the ball at the feet of striker Aigle, they had to rush through. Although the opponent has not yet successfully counterattacked, the two of them definitely dare not be careless.

In the last game, Hoffenheim and the visiting Wolfsburg played earth-shattering, and the goal was also eight, so this game Karl Benz Stadium was full again, but it has been played for more than 20 minutes, and both teams have not scored, and because of Bielefeld's negative attack, Hoffenheim basically conducts half-court offensive and defensive drills, there is no space for passing and breakthrough, and the so-called offense is also a cross from the side and a long shot from the middle, but Bielefeld's defense is really good, They used their numerical advantage in the middle to put Hoffenheim's three tall forwards to death. They weren't given easy chances at all.

The fans in the stands were dissatisfied, and they booed the Billfeld Tiger's tactics of not getting out of the hole, and the editor's song mocked Bielefeld's cowardly behavior, but Bielefeld did not care, they were used to the tactics of dense defense and were used to the boos of the opposing fans.

Commentator Coral turned out to be the main defender of the German national team, and his comments were mainly for defense, seeing that Hoffenheim could not break Bielefeld's defense, Coral said: "Side crosses, using headers to break the goal is a good way to break the dense defense, Ibisevic, Demba Ba, Obasi have a certain header ability, you can consider breaking through from the side to the small penalty area near the ball, but you must insert the header back, that is, in the running jump header, can not stand on the pile and wait for the ball to the top of the head and then top, Because the side breakthrough to the small penalty area near Hoffenheim is completely sure of this, in this place to start the ball, the time is short, the sudden surname is strong, and then inserted can make the opponent difficult to prevent, easy to form a breakthrough, the opponent is useless. Even if you can't get in, you have to mess up the opponent's penalty area and create opportunities for your teammates to make up shots. ”

Coral suggested that it was very good, and there were many opportunities for Hoffenheim to cross from the side in practice, but the quality was average, mainly because there were too many interferences, including Li Huan, who could not completely get rid of it, and often had to pass under the opponent's pull and tackle, even if he occasionally passed a few good shots, the three strikers in the middle were difficult to rush up under the package of defenders and midfielders.

Seeing that the effect of the side cross and the middle of the top fight is not very good, Hoffenheim's several long-range shooters Li Huan, Gustavo and Sarihovic often suddenly use cold arrows, trying to attract Bielefeld's players out of the penalty area, but Bielefeld's players are very resolute, no matter what means Hoffenheim uses, they must be guarding near the penalty area, waiting for you to attack, looking like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

The 45 minutes of the first half passed in a flash, but the score seemed to freeze, the score of 0:0 has not changed, the commentator is counting the statistics of both sides in the first half, Hoffenheim shot 18 times, 5 times within the range of the post, Bielefeld's players only had one shot on goal in the first half, but fortunately they hit the woodwork.

Duan Xuan and Tao Wei, the two TV commentators in China's CCAV, are also discussing the tactics of cracking the dense defense, Duan Xuan thinks that Hoffenheim's game is just a tendon, all of them are crazy attacks, take the ball and attack, they don't know how to change the rhythm at all, they have no way to crack the opponent's bucket formation now, they can push back a few steps, lead the snake out of the hole, and then hit them seven inches.

Tao Wei, who was born as a professional player, did not agree with Duan Xuan's opinion, he believes that the current Bielefeld team is not willing to come out at all, Hoffenheim will not attack even if he retreats from Bielefeld, one point is the highest ideal of this Bundesliga team, and now for Hoffenheim, the best way is to change the tactics of set-pieces and corner kicks, and hit the opponent by surprise. Or Hoffenheim used his personal breakthrough to break through the opponent's defense, get a free kick in front, and then everything could be handed over to Li Huan. If you shoot from a distance, you can no longer shoot at the top of the arc of the penalty area where the players are most concentrated, but try to shoot from the corner of the penalty area.

At the start of the second half, Hoffenheim suddenly increased the tempo of the attack, and the crosses from the wing no longer paid attention to precision, almost taking the ball and rushing into the box, and the ball bombarded the Bielefeld box like a bomb. The three strikers didn't care whether they could grab the point or not, anyway, they kept shuttling back and forth in and out of the penalty area, competing for headers.

Hoffenheim's style of play is like a team that has entered stoppage time behind the score, and now there are more than 40 minutes left, Hoffenheim is playing like this, leaving Bielefeld's players and coaches a little confused. Middendorp wondered: "Could it be that Hoffenheim no longer needs precision now, what exactly does Rangnick's gourd sell?" ”

Hoffenheim's current style of play is a typical indiscriminate punch to kill the master. This is what Rangnick explained in the dressing room, since Hoffenheim's forwards couldn't get good opportunities under the interference of the opponent, Suo let them be a-stirring stick in the opponent's penalty area, completely mess up the Bielefeld penalty area, and then take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.

Under Hoffenheim's repeated impact and indiscriminate bombardment, there was finally chaos in Bielefeld's penalty area, and in the 62nd minute, Li Huan burst to the bottom line on the side and crossed with his right foot. Demba Ba squeezed away the defender and wanted to head the ball, Bielefeld's central defender Mijatovic was in a hurry to clear the siege, and did not form a tacit understanding with the goalkeeper Hein, at this time Hein also had to come out to get the ball, and the two knocked down together. No one touched the ball, and Demba Ba just happened to easily head the ball into the empty goal.

1:0！ Demba Ba missed and scored a deadlock-breaking goal.

The fans, who were almost going crazy, finally celebrated at this time, and almost all the fans jumped up at this moment, waving their arms and shouting "Hoffenheim victory!" "Hoffenheim victory!" slogan.

Demba Ba, who scored the goal, could not hide the joy in his heart, he rushed to the stands and made a celebration gesture with a submachine gun at the fans, black people like to show themselves, his action made the enthusiasm of the fans even higher, and many fans immediately changed their words and shouted Long live Demba Ba.

The commentator let out a sigh of relief and said, "After a lot of hardship, Hoffenheim finally scored!" It was a mistake by the opposition, but it opened the door for Hoffenheim to win and Bielefeld had to press it out, and Hoffenheim were welcoming Bielefeld against them. ”

"A team that plays a dense defense is like opening the lid on a beer bottle, as long as you open the lid, you can drink the wine inside," Coral said. Although Hoffenheim's goal may seem a bit accidental, Hoffenheim's indiscriminate bombardment has already caused the Bielefelders to panic because they don't know when the ball will fly. This kind of low-level misguided action is the result of psychological fear and imbalance. ”

Rangnick, who had always been relatively composed, finally jumped up and gave a warm round of applause to the players in the stadium, the players carried out his tactical arrangement thoroughly, and they finally opened the door to victory, as long as this goal was scored, Rangnick believed that the game would soon be back in Hoffenheim's control.

After scoring a goal by Hoffenheim, Bielefeld's players and coaches were a little panicked, they had to attack now, but in the face of Hoffenheim's strong attack, each of them did not have the slightest confidence in themselves.

Hoffenheim still didn't have the intention of stopping after scoring, still continued to attack, Bielefeld was still hesitating whether to press all or continue to defend and counterattack, Hoffenheim made a choice for them, in the face of Hoffenheim's crazy attack, Bielefeld can only play defensive counterattack, but now Bielefeld is now counterattacking with significantly more troops than before the goal.

Hoffenheim had been waiting for that opportunity, and six minutes later, Hoffenheim found the back of the net again. Bielefeld's counter-attack did not result in a shot on goal, and the ball was cut off by Gustavo and passed to Li Huan, who made a comeback from the flank, and he made a sudden cold shot all the way to the corner of the box. Li Huan also had a lot of long-range shots in the first half, but he didn't score a goal, and most of them were blocked by these players. This time, Bielefeld's players didn't come back much, and Li Huan's shot finally found a suitable route, and the ball went straight to the right post of the goal.

But Li Huan's shot was too accurate, and it bounced directly on the goalpost. Before the fans and players could scream, a figure jumped up and fired the ball into Bielefeld's goal with an upside-down golden hook.

At 2:0, it was Eduardo, who scored a beautiful upside-down golden hook.

The crowd was boiling again, this time with a Brazilian who was thrilling them. "Eduardo!" "Eduardo!" The fans waved their arms and called Eduardo's name in unison.

Eduardo's goal seemed to have been expected by Rangnick, he was not as happy as the first goal, he just applauded his players from the sidelines. For Rangnick, he already knows what the game is going to be like and there will definitely be goals.

Middendorp was almost desperate when he scored the first goal, he came to Karl Benz Stadium to set up a bucket formation is taken in Hoffenheim's attacking ability, once the goal is opened, Middendorp knew that Bielefeld's game was about to lose, but he still didn't expect the second goal to come so quickly, he sighed, ready to make a substitution, the loss is almost certain, but he doesn't want a big defeat, so as not to affect the morale of the players.
