Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 334 Winning Streak (2)
Yibian rematch, Hoffenheim's players ran much more actively than in the first half, this is not purely because of Rangnick's encouragement in the dressing room, but out of a kind of aggrieved psychology, in the first half of the game they have no heart to think, and there is no way to communicate, everyone in the locker room you say a word, this anger can no longer be suppressed, even if it is not to break Bayern's winning streak, they can't let go of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In fact, the most anxious is Ruud van Nistelrooy, Hoffenheim's record this season he has heard and witnessed, Manchester United, Inter, Bayern have all been defeated, and now playing a team at the bottom of the list did not score in the half, how can he have face as a striker.
Rangnick didn't give Vanney a defensive task at half-time, but Ruud van Nistelrooy still pressed the opposition defenders up front, just like Demba Ba, and often chased back to the midfield.
Hoffenheim made a force, and Borussia Mönchengladbach was not in a hurry, and the tactics they implemented in the first half were not to mark people, but to cut off the connection between Hoffenheim's players, let them fight separately, and use the advantage of the characters at the back to cover and defend Hoffenheim's arrowheads. No matter how ferocious Hoffenheim's pressing is, they are not afraid, as long as Hoffenheim can't penetrate their defence, he will let the opponent have the ball in his hands.
After ten minutes of the second half, Hoffenheim was very positive but still unable to break the opponent's goal. At this moment, someone must step up and use their personal ability to break through the cage set by Borussia Mönchengladbach, form a one-on-one, or even one-on-two breakthrough, form a breakthrough at one point, and finally complete the breakthrough of the entire defense line.
Such a task can only be done by stars such as Li Huan, Eduardo, Arshavin, Demba Ba, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who have a much higher annual salary than the average player and enjoy the pursuit of countless fans, and now is the time to show their value.
Li Huan's not very good performance for such a long time is mainly because of the field, the snow is still falling, and the ball is rolling too slowly on the snow, but the part under the snow has frozen and is very slippery.
And Borussia Mönchengladbach's strikers are also very distinctive, Flender is extremely tall and strong, Simunic alone can only resist it, Neuville is extremely cunning and very experienced, and he may be scored by them if he is not careful, in this case, Li Huan can only try to minimize assists.
Ten minutes into the second half, teammates still can't open the situation, Li Huan can't hold his breath, he feels that it is not possible to take some risks, the more the opponent plays, the more confident he is, the game is even more unfavorable to Hoffenheim, rather than taking risks at the last moment, it is better to take risks now, even if they are attacked by the opponent, they at least have time to catch up.
"Gustavo, I'm going up, you take care of it on the right."
Li Huan said hello to Gustavo, Simunic was embarrassed to defend Flender and had no energy to help him, and Arshavin could not help him defend like Obasi, this task could only fall to Gustavo.
Gustavo is the back, his task is mainly in the middle, because Hoffenheim suppressed the opponent very strongly, his burden is not heavy, listening to Li Huan said that he wants to attack, Gustavo said: "Li, you go up, leave it to me later." ”
Li Huan saw Sarihovic get the ball, and he ran directly to the front court to ask Sarihovic for the ball.
Sarihovic made a long ball and moved the ball from the right to the left. When Li Huan stopped the ball, no one stepped forward to interfere, until Li Huan entered the 30-meter danger area of Mönchenchen, and the players of Mönchenchen came over, not only did someone come to pinch Li Huan, but also someone followed Arshavin and Ruud van Nistelrooy to prevent passing between them, so that they only needed to guard against the passing of Hoffenheim stars, and they no longer had to be distracted to think about the cooperation between them.
In such field conditions, this tactic of Mönchenchen is more effective than using all the defenders to surround and intercept Li Huan, and this is how they blocked Hoffenheim's countless attacks.
However, Li Huan no longer gave the defenders of Mönchen the opportunity to wrap up this time, he saw the running position of Van Nistelrooy and Demba Ba from a distance, and passed the ball out, separated by a distance of about 30 meters, Li Huan's curve ball accurately found the line where Van Nistelrooy ran, but Van Nistelrooy was still followed by his fellow countryman, Borussia Mönchen central defender Brau Weys, Van Nistelrooy wanted to easily control the air ball It was not easy, but Van Nistelrooy did not only have a way in the penalty area, he looked at Li Huan's pass was very fast, Van Nistelrooy did not stop the ball, Direct long-range header on goal.
Goalkeeper Jamerot didn't expect Vanney to head directly into the penalty area, and the top was still in the lower left corner of the goal, the angle was very tricky, he hurriedly made a flying pounce, and blocked the ball with one hand.
Vanney shook his head with some regret, if he let him shoot with his feet, to ensure that the goalkeeper can't even touch the skin, the power of the header is still a little worse, and such a tricky angle is saved.
When Li Huan sent a corner kick, he didn't look for Fanny, after all, there was still not enough tacit understanding between him and Fanney, and a lot of corner kick tactics, Fanny couldn't play at all, and Li Huan was looking for a landing point of Demba Ba.
Demba Ba wanted to head the ball into goal, but under the watch of Borussia Mönchen striker Flender, he was squeezed out of position and did not reach the goal, and the ball was pushed out of the box by Flender.
The periphery of the penalty area was full of Hoffenheim players, and after Flender pushed the ball out, the ball was obtained by Arshavin, who took two steps forward, and saw the defender quickly pounce from the penalty area to surround him, and he immediately hoisted the ball into the box again, looking for Ruud van Nistelrooy's landing point.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was also walking outside the penalty area, saw Arshavin's pass, and immediately jumped up in the air and turned around to head the goal, this ball Arshavin passed very accurately, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's shooting action was also very reasonable, in that case, jumping up and turning to head the ball was almost the simplest and most direct shooting action, but unfortunately Ruud van Nistelrooy was a little higher on top, and the ball was higher than the goal frame.
Hoffenheim's two threatening shots in a row raised the interest of the fans in the stands, and the fans of Mönchen were a little nervous to watch the situation on the field, while the Hoffenheim fans waved their arms to cheer for the players despite the cold and snow, chanting that they must break Bayern's record and strive for a 16-game winning streak.
Rangnick didn't care about the snow in the sky, he had been standing on the sidelines since the beginning of the second half, and when he saw Hoffenheim's offensive gradually rising, he ran to the sidelines and shouted: Just play like this! That's it! Be simple, be fast!
Not to be outdone, Meier also stood on the sidelines and pointed fingers at the field, letting his players get closer, staring at people, letting them pass high balls, not letting them pass the ball. High balls require a certain amount of processing time, and Borussia Mönchen are now intensively defending, so it is easy to put on, but the boccia ball is not easy to do, and Hoffenheim's players can shoot directly at goal.
Li Huan changed the habit of resolutely going down in the first half, and made continuous crosses in different positions on the side, which made the defenders of Mönchen a little confused, although such a pass is not as threatening as passing on the bottom line, but because Li Huan's pass is too accurate, Demba Ba and Van Nistelrooy's two center forwards have a good ability to grab points, which has brought great difficulties to Mönchenchen's defense.
The players of Mönchen were worried that if Li Huan continued to cross, he might be put in by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Demba Bamon, and soon expanded the scope of the pressing, but this gave Li Huan room to break through.
In the 70th minute of the second half, Li Huan picked up the ball in the corner of the penalty area and dodged the Borussia Mönchen defender Foigt to steal, Foigt also wanted to compete with Li Huan for the ball in the air, but at this time Li Huan used a typical street ball action, his legs in the air to do a cow tail, shook Foigt, and then quickly went down to the bottom and swept the ball to the middle near the bottom line.
Between the lightning and flint, it depends on who judges the speed of the ball more accurately, because Borussia Mönchenchen's Belgian central defender Dams wanted to shovel the ball out of the bottom line, but the ball speed was too fast, and he shoveled an empty one.
Demba Ba was shaken by Dams at the middle point and mistakenly passed, and the ball was about to slide past the goal, when Ruud van Nistelrooy suddenly appeared on the right side of the goal, and he met the ball with a powerful left-footed volley above the goal.
Li Huan passed in a hurry, Vanney shot fiercely, and goalkeeper Jamerot stood in front of the ball and didn't have time to react, only to see the ball flying in front of his eyes, flying into the goal, and hitting the top of the net.
1 to 0! Hoffenheim finally took the lead.
The team stayed up for more than 70 minutes to score, all the players of Hoffenheim were very excited, Vanney's big face smiled like a flower, he ran to Li Huan quickly, and kept saying in English, "Great!" Plum! You're the best! Thanks for the assist. ”
Vanney's tight hug made Li Huan a little breathless, but the excitement also filled Li Huan's heart, he attacked the door for 70 minutes to get the current reward, don't look at a goal, Hoffenheim can fully grasp more initiative with this goal, and there is almost no suspense about victory.
"Goal...... Finish! Li Huan passes! Ruud van Nistelrooy scores! Hoffenheim is once again on the winning track, 16 consecutive wins are coming, let's cheer for Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim is indeed a good one, Borussia Mönchengladbach although the defense is very tight, but a hundred secrets. The brilliant combination of Li Huan and Ruud van Nistelrooy finally completed a goal. ”
"This is the tenth day of Ruud van Nistelrooy's arrival at Hoffenheim, and this is his second appearance, this is his second goal, scoring in two consecutive games, Ruud van Nistelrooy has become the Hoffenheim ace killer!"
There was silence in the Prussian Park stadium, and only a small corner of the fans was chanting, it was the Hoffenheim fans celebrating the goal, this goal was so difficult, some old fans who were used to Hoffenheim scoring goals couldn't help but shout frantically with the youngsters.
