Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 173 Be a leader
Mirandorp's substitution also belongs to the caution of the civilian team, but the Polish Vichnyarek replaced the German striker Aigle, replaced a defensive midfielder Tescher, and replaced the South African striker Zouma, which is still the original 442 formation, with a diamond-shaped position in the midfield.
When Mirandorp started to attack, the game became better, Hoffenheim's backline has never been solid, it's not that their backline is really that bad, but the number of people in their backline is too small, men are attacking, even the manager encourages defenders to assist, where can these young people in the Hoffenheim backline still be calm, even the two central defenders often have the opportunity to insert assists.
Bielefeld was able to remain unbeaten in the first three rounds, and the goals reached 6, indicating that their attack is not bad, this fight against the attack, Bielefeld's midfield veteran Bomei gradually became active, his two through balls almost broke through Hoffenheim's defense, but Hoffenheim was not afraid, still adopted offside tactics, pressed the formation forward, and tried to burn the fire to Bielefeld's half.
10 minutes later, Li Huan helped Eduardo complete the interception in the midfield, after the two crossed positions, Eduardo pulled the side, Li Huan cut to the middle, after Rangnick's pilot training, the habit of slow-paced slow thinking in the previous life has changed a lot, Li Huan's ability to dribble the ball in the middle of the court has also been improved, it can't be said that world-class midfielders like Zidan and Xiao Luo are so powerful, they can see and listen to all directions, but it is not a big problem to cut inside with the ball alone.
Nkosi quickly pasted over from the side front, wanting to interfere with Li Huan's dribbling, behind Li Huan, Zouma also defended back, but Li Huan's dribbling rhythm changed suddenly, and the ball that was moving forward was gently flicked by Li Huan with the outside of his foot, changing a small direction, although the direction was not too big, but the ball speed slowed down, Li Huan suddenly went again, accelerating and shifting about half a meter, this fast and slow is just a matter between breaths, but Nkosi was just dodged, and Zuma also pounced, and the two almost bumped together.
Look at the flashing gap, Li Huan raised his foot and wanted to shoot, but at this moment he was still far from the goal, he had to volley vigorously, the speed of the shot would not be too sudden, the central defender Gabriel immediately came over and blocked the eye with his body, Li Huan reacted faster, saw that the angle of the shot was sealed, and the right foot that was raised high fell and became a smash, and then changed to his left foot to continue to dribble and cut horizontally.
Li Huan's center of gravity changed faster than Gabriel, and he took advantage of the offensive initiative, Gabriel couldn't keep up with him, and another central defender, Mijatovic, had to give up Ibisevic to intercept Li Huan who was attacking with the ball.
Li Huan did not hesitate to pass the ball diagonally with his left foot to the unmarked Ibisevic, who took a step forward and went to the penalty line to face goalkeeper Hine directly. Instead of pushing into the far corner, Ibisevic pushed directly into the bottom right corner of the goal, catching Hein off guard and trying to block it with his feet, but the ball flew into the net at his feet.
3:0! It was Ibisevic's first goal in the Bundesliga. Ibisevic, who has scored three consecutive rounds, hugged Li Huan excitedly, Li Huan punched him in the chest and laughed: "Good job!" ”
Ibisevic stretched out his hands and high-fived Li Huan, saying, "It's really good." If you switch to left-back, maybe I can be the top scorer. “
"Super Ibby! Great Ibi! The stands resounded with a tsunami of cheers from the fans, "Victory belongs to Hoffenheim!" "We're going to be the leaders!"
Hoffenheim played a day ahead of leaders Bayern Munich today, and if Hoffenheim wined, they would have a chance to finish the Bayern game, and of course if Bayern lost, Hoffenheim would be top of the table.
The commentator excitedly said to the guest Coral United: "Li Huan's pass has the taste of Eduardo, if you can't open the situation, it is a good way for him to come to the midfield to support." Ibisevic finally broke the goal drought, and the back trident was even more unstoppable. ”
Coral said: "In the past year, Li Huan's adaptability in the midfield has been greatly improved. He is all-round with both left and right feet, and although he doesn't see much of an advantage in midfield, he can play as a left wing-back. I remember he played really well in the midfield position and Coach Rangnick was a blessing to have such a player. I think Middendorp must be going crazy with envy. ”
Middendorp didn't go crazy with envy, they knew that their team had no chance to have a player like Li Huan, even when Li Huan was in the Bundesliga, the value at that time was unaffordable for Bielefeld, in fact, when Li Huan was in Karlsruhe, Bielefeld asked about the price, but I heard that there was no follow-up for more than five million euros, and now five and a half million can't be bought. Middendorp didn't have so many illusions, now he was thinking about how to lose a few fewer goals, and with Hoffenheim's crazy momentum, it would not be a problem to score two or three more in the last ten minutes.
Middendorp trailed by three goals and did not continue to strengthen the attack, but instead gave the last substitution to the midfielder, and did not see the slightest intention of reversing. Rangnick saw that the victory was decided, and also replaced Li Huan after the break, and replaced the newly signed defender Nelson, playing three central defenders, Nelson just joined, he needs a little more time to play to find his form. In addition, Rangnick also wanted Li Huan to get the applause of the fans in the audience alone.
Li Huan's end made the 26,000 fans in the stadium give a standing ovation, Li Huan's four games made Hoffenheim fans understand what happiness is, having Li Huan means having victory, and being able to see their team making history every weekend is happiness.
Bielefeld lost confidence in the equaliser after 3-0, and they were unable to break through Bielefeld's goal again without desperately attacking Hoffenheim, and the score was finally locked at 3-0, Hoffenheim easily won their fourth consecutive game in the Bundesliga, and also played their first game without conceding a goal.
After the game, Rangnick didn't talk about four wins in a row, or about temporarily climbing to the top of the standings, only about the team's improvement in defense and finally no more conceding goals. He thinks Hoffenheim wants to get it
Although Li Huan did not score in this game, he had two assists and a goalpost that led to Eduardo's goal, and he was also elected the best player of the game. Less than two hours after the end of the game, the Munich Evening News published a commentary article "From 3 to 0, the defenders finally stopped scoring". The reporter said that as the opponent became more and more familiar with Li Huan, the marking became more and more strict, and the number of Li Huan's goals has been declining, from the hat trick in the first round, to the brace in the second round, to only one goal in the previous round, to the weak Bielefeld without scoring a goal, Li Huan's attack power is gradually declining, and the myth of a defender shooter has begun to be shattered.
The "Rheinneckar Zeitung" and Mannheim's local "Mannheim Zeitung" immediately wrote an article to refute the views of the Munich media, and the reporter of the "Rheinneckar Zeitung" believes that the Munich media is the most naked jealousy and nonsense, they only saw that Li Huan did not score, but they turned a blind eye to Li Huan's three goals, this is because Munich is afraid, they are worried that Hoffenheim will surpass them to become the leader, and Bayern, who was forced to play in the League Cup, can now not afford another defeat. Finally, the reporter from Rheinneckar wished Bayern a home defeat to Hamburg tomorrow.
The next day Rangnick gave the players a holiday, and in the evening Rangnick took his coaching staff to the Allianz Arena to watch the Bayern Munich game, although Rangnick repeatedly told the media that the team's goal is relegation, but after the team's four consecutive wins, even the old priest of Gujing Wubo will be moved by fame and fortune, not to mention Rangnick, who has not won the top league championship so far. He has now subconsciously regarded Bayern as his league opponent.
I don't know if it's because Hoffenheim put pressure on Bayern, Bayern, who scored ten goals in the first three games and did not concede a goal, played a little conservatively in this game, but not as active as the away Hamburg team, until the 70th minute, right-back Lyle broke through the bottom cross, Klose scored his third goal of the season and his 100th goal in the Bundesliga.
Then Bayern played more and more conservatively, as if intending to hold on to the 1-0 victory, and finally they paid a heavy price for their conservatism, in the 86th minute, Hamburg caused a huge mess in front of Bayern's goal, Zidan stabbed in the penalty area, and finally Bayern woke up from a big dream, desperately attacked, but it was too late, and could only accept the result of being forced to draw at home, because of this draw, Hoffenheim also climbed to the top of the standings for the first time and became the leader of the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim's head coach was caught by reporters in the stands, conducting live interviews, Rangnick could not hide his joy, saying that Bayern's victory or defeat has little to do with Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim is relegation, Bayern is to regain the hegemony, he came to the Allianz Arena to learn. But now he doesn't believe the ghosts.
After the news of Bayern's draw by Hamburg reached Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim fans and players ran to the streets of the village to celebrate, as a promoted horse to be able to beat a group of giants to the top of the table, it was a huge encouragement for them, although the club's general manager Rothouse falsely told reporters that Hoffenheim still has to get 26 points to be relegated, but immediately added that once Hoffenheim gets the relegation points, they will raise their goals for this season in order to encourage the team to continue to work hard, Hit better.
