AC Milan escaped, and Allegri realised that a change had to be made, and that it was not going to work. Defensively www.biquge.info AC Milan put too little pressure on Hoffenheim, especially in the midfield, that they can be so casual in organizing attacks in midfield or cutting in from behind.

Allegri thought about it for a while, but decided to replace Seedorf, who was sleepwalking with a poor performance, and replaced it with a defensive giant, "Butcher" Gattuso.

He pulled Gattuso to his side and gave him a final admonition, which was not an admonition to Gattuso alone, but an adjustment to the tactics of the whole team. He asked Gattuso to send a message to the whole team when he came on the pitch - the whole team pressed more in the middle and back to put pressure on Hoffenheim's midfielders. You have to be more aggressive, and you have to defend more aggressively.

Gattuso nodded in agreement, which was very much to his liking.

Seedorf walked off the field a little depressed, knowing that his performance was not outstanding. But being the first to be substituted still made him a little embarrassed. Allegri actually has a good relationship with Seedorf, but he was the first to replace him in this game, which shows that he is really anxious, and in order to win the game, he does not hesitate to offend Seedorf, who has always had a good relationship with him.

Gattuso took the pitch and conveyed the manager's latest instructions to the team.

The AC Milan players immediately complied.

Hoffenheim's players soon found themselves facing a huge resistance in their attack. When they play small areas in one area, AC Milan's players are more aggressive and aggressive than before. It is often several players passing each other and AC Milan often pounce on each other at the same time. This style of play made Hoffenheim's players very uncomfortable. They didn't expect that AC Milan, a century-old giant, would put down their shelves like this and fight them like a weak team.

Yes. Fight for your life. AC Milan are really fighting for their lives, because if this draw continues to halfway through they will be eliminated from the group; If they score too few goals, they will be eliminated even if they win.

If you don't work hard at this time, when will you wait?

Allegri's instructions were for everyone to step up their pressing, and Gattuso added "Guys, it's time for us to fight them!" ”

It stands to reason that Hoffenheim's style of football is fast and direct, and it should be more of a pressing tactic, as they can take advantage of the space left behind them when the opponent presses up to grab the ball. But the Hoffenheim players were not prepared for this, and they didn't expect that the second half didn't even pass half the time, and the opponent fought like this. For a while, I was forced by AC Milan to be a little scrambling.

Often, a few Hoffenheim players passed backwards in a small area, and then the AC Milan players forced this small circle to get smaller and smaller, and the small ones were completely unable to play. Either under the opponent's pressure, he made a mistake in passing or stopping the ball, and gave up possession, or he was directly cut off by the opponent.

AC Milan seized the opportunity of Hoffenheim's scramble during this period and launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim's goal. Ibrahimovic and Robinho both had good shots on target, and Andrea Pirlo could also come up and show off his long-range footwork.

'Hoffenheim were in a terrible situation, they had already conceded a number of goals in midfield in five minutes. There hasn't been a shot on goal so far...... "The German commentator was worried.

There was a hint of schadenfreude in the Italian narrator's tone. "I bet it will take another fifteen minutes...... No, if you play like this for another ten minutes, Hoffenheim will collapse! ”

This is not alarmist, it is true. Mistakes made by the opposition did affect the mood of the players, and the mistakes were amplified elsewhere, even without the opposition's pressing, Hoffenheim also made passing errors. And after the passing error, the teammates began to complain to each other, the receiver complained that the passer's footwork was not well controlled, and he passed badly, and the passer thought that it was because the receiver was not active in running and was not good at passing.

If this sentiment is extended, it will indeed make Hoffenheim perform abnormally in the next game.

At that point, AC Milan's experience and home advantage will help them regain control with ease, and with their ability, it is not impossible to score in the final moments. In such a frenetic home atmosphere, the pressure on the young Hoffenheim will increase, and the huge psychological gap between the second place in the group and the elimination of the group will also make the players perform abnormally, and it is not impossible to collapse completely.

Before the football game, the competition is about the training level and technical and tactical level of both sides, but in the latter part of the game, the competition is more about the psychological level of the team. Mentally good teams can do wonders even in the face of adversity at the last minute, such as the former Federal Republic of Germany. Teams with poor psychological quality tend to lose games when they have the advantage, and simply collapse when they fall behind, such as the Chinese team.

Generally speaking, young teams are less mentally qualified because they lack the experience to deal with all kinds of complex situations. The team with many veterans has a calm psychological quality, they have seen all the winds and waves, and there will not be too many things in the world that can make them psychologically fluctuate.

So it makes sense to be bullish on AC Milan at the end of the game.

In this case, Hoffenheim needs a hero to step up and stabilize the morale of the team and stop the collapse of the team.

Who will this hero be?

The television broadcast gave a close-up to Rangnick, the German "professor" with a frown on his brow and grim face. It looks like he's also having a headache for the current situation of the team, but there's nothing he can do about it.

Next door, AC Milan coach Allegri is pleased that his tactics have worked. If we continue to play like this, the balance of victory and defeat will tip to AC Milan's side. Although the score is still 1:1, the situation is in their favor. Allegri has no doubts about the quality of the AC Milan players, which of these players is not the best in the world? As long as they have the initiative in their hands, there are really not many teams in this world that can beat them.

As soon as Salihovic received the ball, he looked up and saw two AC Milan players rushing up head-on, and without looking back, he knew that there must be another AC Milan player not far behind him. Although he had two team-mates around him, the three of them were surrounded in the middle, and no matter how they ran, there were always three AC Milan players outside.

He didn't want to go back and forth like he had before, but ended up surrounded by AC Milan players and lost possession. He decided to make a change. So he feigned a pass to Ibisevic in front of him, and tricked Abate into leaning in a little. Then he hooked the ball back and tried to break through from the wing.

Unfortunately, Ambrosini was in front of him, and the AC Milan captain saw through Salihovic's plan in advance, and as long as he got the ball out, Ambrosini could wait for the ball to be broken.

Salihovic hesitated for a moment and finally chose not to take the risk. If you lose the ball, it's another mistake and the opponent will fight back. Now Kolarov did not dare to rush up. If you can't play on the wings, Hoffenheim's attacking quality will be greatly affected.

He was going to take it steady. Ambrosini in front of him didn't wait. As soon as he saw that Salihovic didn't play the ball in the first place, he knew that he was hesitating, so he immediately pounced, intending to break the football.

Salihovic had been keeping an eye on Ambrosini's movements, and he watched Ambrosini rush up and quickly stretched out his foot to pull the ball back, while half-turning and reaching out to rest the opponent at his side.

However, this turn to pull the ball made his possession very unstable, and Boateng, who was originally behind him, saw an opportunity and planned to come up to grab the ball.

Even if Salihovic barely controlled the ball again, he was afraid that it would be difficult to support it for a few seconds under the sandwich of two people, and he was finally cut off. Salihovic was also aware of the predicament he was facing, and he was anxious to find a more suitable way out of it. Rush to get it out? Now there is only one point left for Ibisevic, and the chance of being broken is almost 10 percent.

At this critical moment, Salihovic saw a white figure appear behind him through Boateng, and in a red-black figure, a touch of white suddenly appeared, which meant that he had one more ally!

Who could it be?

He couldn't see it. Because Boateng blocked his view, he was limited in what he could see. All he could see was an arm, a white arm with a blue armband tied to it.

He was relieved.

Chu Zhongtian finally arrived.

Although when Chu Zhongtian first joined the team, the person who distrusted him the most was Salihovic, but now that two seasons have passed, Salihovic has trusted Chu Zhongtian very much. In the game, when he faces a dilemma like this, if there is a Chu Zhongtian by his side, he will feel very relieved, whether it is passing or breaking through, he will be very confident. Because he knew that no matter what mistakes he made, someone would always be there to wipe his ass. And it's not just one person who thinks this way, many people in Hoffenheim think so.

Chu Zhongtian proved his strength with his practical actions and won the trust of his teammates.

It's time for him to show that trust again.

Salihovic twisted and poked the ball out, and the ball rolled between Boateng's legs to Chu Zhongtian!

In fact, Chu Zhongtian's side is not easy. Chu Zhongtian rushed over to help Salihovic finish, and he actually had a "tail", that is, Gattuso.

Gattuso, who was replaced, not only received instructions from manager Allegri to the whole team off the pitch, but also for him personally. Allegri asked Gattuso to press the defense of Chu Zhongtian no matter what the situation, even if he fouled it, he didn't care. Gattuso, who only came up in the second half, did not have physical problems, and although he was older, he could fight a draw with Chu Zhongtian.

His defense of Chu Zhongtian was really fierce, and Chu Zhongtian had already tasted the power of a "butcher" just now. He had just received the ball, and before he could adjust, he was slammed to the ground by Gattuso from behind, although the referee awarded Gattuso a foul, but Hoffenheim's chance to attack was also lost.

This time he went to pick up Salihovic, and Gattuso did not leave an inch, making it clear that he would not give him any opportunity to adjust, not even the opportunity to connect the ball.

So can he still help Salihovic out of trouble? Or become a new point of conceding the goal...... He didn't have the heart to worry about that now. The ball had already drilled under Boateng's crotch, and it was already very close to him...... Chu Zhongtian ran towards the football, and further shortened the distance between the two, giving him almost no time to think about countermeasures.

Maybe he didn't have to think about countermeasures at all.

He ran towards the football, Gattuso accelerated and slashed diagonally, intending to hit Chu Zhongtian with his body, as long as he could make Chu Zhongtian lose his balance when he received the ball, even if he didn't fall, only lose his balance for a moment, it was enough to affect the quality of this attack.

Chu Zhongtian didn't give him time to do this at all, and Gattuso didn't want him to catch the ball, so he didn't take it. Chu Zhongtian, who ran up towards the football, did not catch the ball, nor did he break through, but suddenly turned around in front of the football and passed the football in the opposite direction!

He twisted the ball straight to a long pass!

The ball was passed from the left side of the pitch to the right, and Quaresma lifted his foot to stop the ball while Srna just crossed over at his flank.

"Chu! Wonderful long pass transfer! The narrator shouted.

"Beautiful! This vision! This footwork! He Ping was also amazed.

In fact, it was an ordinary long pass transfer, but because it was a 180-degree long pass, it was difficult, and this pass reflected how broad Chu Zhongtian's vision was, and the most important reason was that this long pass transfer appeared in a timely manner. When Hoffenheim needed a hero to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army and fight back against AC Milan with a beautiful performance, Chu Zhongtian stood up, and his long pass transfer hit AC Milan's arrogance, and at the same time let other Hoffenheim players see confidence, this is not a blind big kick, but a planned and coordinated long pass transfer. Let's take a look at the series of movements in Hoffenheim after the football was passed out.

After Quaresma stopped the ball, Srna cut in from behind him at high speed, attracting Zambrotta's attention, and Quaresma rushed with the ball to create a chance on goal. And it was Hoffenheim's first shot on goal in those minutes. It can be seen how important Chu Zhongtian's transfer is to the team.

The atmosphere of anxiety that had been in Hoffenheim just now suddenly vanished. Allegri's carefully orchestrated pressing plan was also declared bankrupt, and all this came from Chu Zhongtian's one-kick transfer.

It may be an exaggeration, but in football, it is often the successful pass, a wonderful shot, a great save that causes the game to turn and the mentality of the players to change...... The devil is in the details, and a football game is built up from countless such details.

And the players who can make key details at these key points are top players and leaders within the team.

Chu Zhongtian is such a leader.

※※※ Then in the game, Chu Zhongtian accelerated the rhythm of his passing, and passing the ball directly without stopping the ball is a very difficult technique even for those superstars, so they often don't do too much in the game with such passes. Chu Zhongtian frequently tried to pass the ball like this after this, no matter what position he was in, no matter where he wanted to pass the football, he would always try to choose to pass the ball directly. Not every kick he can get on target, but the success rate is not so low that it is miserable. But his move can cause a lot of problems for AC Milan, because you never know if his kick will be on the right page before it gets out...... You can't stop defending just because you think you're not going to make a pass. What if it gets right? Wouldn't that just go straight to the Yellow Dragon?

Moreover, Chu Zhongtian's practice of passing the ball directly without stopping the ball has another effect - it happens to be very restrained by AC Milan's close-knit pressing tactics. People can never run the football, it takes a while for you to run up and force the grab, there is a process, before you run to Chu Zhongtian has already passed the football out, not only did you not grab the ball, but also left a huge space behind Chu Zhongtian for Chu Zhongtian to use. It's not a good deal.

Allegri shook his head as he watched from the sidelines. The team finally won back the initiative by actively fighting and gradually losing the initiative, and Chu Zhongtian's sharp and fast passing has made some AC Milan players jealous, and they dare not step forward to force it.

He suddenly remembered that it was said that AC Milan was very optimistic about Chu Zhongtian in the past, and when he was still playing in Metz, he hoped to buy him, and he had quoted the price twice before and after, but Chu Zhongtian rejected all of them. AC Milan FC thought that this kid rejected them in order to go to a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, but in the end he went to a Bundesliga promoted polo team...... Looking at his performance on the field now, it's really breathtaking. If he had chosen Milan instead of Hoffenheim...... Allegri couldn't help but start yy.

But there is no if, Chu Zhongtian is now his enemy, and he must find a way to stop him.

It's quite difficult.

Hoffenheim, who was still being pressed by AC Milan just now, was in a hurry, and Hoffenheim, which had put out the fire, was now running at high speed again under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian.

It's not just him who has direct passes without stopping, other players have also started to try this. What happens if I get lost? No problem, immediately put in the counter-robbery, the pressing in the front court is not the patent of AC Milan, Hoffenheim will also, and quite skilled!

The two sides started to scramble on the field in this way, and it seemed that there were constant mistakes, but with these constant mistakes, there were some gaps and opportunities...... They are like fireworks in the night sky, fleeting, blooming and then disappearing abruptly. Even if you see it, you may not be able to catch it, let alone some of it at all.

The scene looked a little chaotic for a while, and the technical content didn't seem to be high, and it was a chaotic battle.

But it's also a good opportunity to win in the chaos.

This is also a self-correction of Chu Zhongtian's previous plan. Previously, he set his sights on Seedorf, believing that Seedorf was the key figure in the team's goal for AC Milan, and the relationship between Seedorf and Allegri will continue to stay on the pitch for a long time even if they do not perform well, and the previous AC Milan games have proved this. Unexpectedly, Allegri suddenly replaced Seedorf, who had a close relationship with him, and replaced Gattuso, and now the defensive holes in the midfield disappeared all of a sudden, but were strengthened.

For a moment Hoffenheim lost the direction of the attack. This is also the reason why Hoffenheim's offensive performance was very poor in those minutes, and it was not until Chu Zhongtian transferred the football that it began to improve.

Now that Seedorf's point is no longer needed, it is natural to change the plan. Chu Zhongtian urged the team to play "Wang Baquan", a random fight, is to follow the AC Milan "rush to encircle" trend so that the game always maintains a high rhythm of high confrontation and high speed, can not let the experienced AC Milan grasp the rhythm, to let them continue to consume physical strength, so that the age structure of AC Milan will inevitably be dragged down at the last moment, at that time, if the score is still 1:1, it is Hoffenheim's chance to win. And even if it was 1:2, Hoffenheim was behind, they also qualified from the group, and Hoffenheim still had a chance to score a goal and equalize.
