Chapter 425 Huo Cun Miracle Toffee or Brown Candy (2)

Arteta stood in front of the ball, and the Everton players rushed into the wall to fight for the header.

The fans of Hoffenheim were a little nervous. The headers of Premier League teams are famous all over the world. Hoffenheim is not good at headers. Most of the headers scored were scored after opening the defense.A free kick at this distance can be shot directly or passed. It is very difficult for the goalkeeper to be distracted and defend.

Arteta passes!

There was chaos in Hoffenheim's penalty area, and suddenly a player in the penalty area fell to the ground in a very exaggerated posture, with a mournful howl, followed by a sharp whistle.The referee Bettini rushed to the penalty area.

"Penalty?"

"It's a penalty!"

Duan Xuan and Liu Jianhong exclaimed at the same time.

"Opportunity, this is Everton's opportunity." Liu Jianhong said in a baritone voice comparable to that of the uncle explaining the animal world, without any passion, as if he was reading a eulogy for a memorial service.

Duan Xuan was a little more proficient in business, and said: "The one who fell was Johansen. In the Premier League, he is a famous diver. He may fall if no one touches him. The Hoffenheim players obviously don't know him well enough. Now Hofen Heim is in trouble. Facing Everton's defense, if they fall behind, they are likely to face a very dangerous situation. Arteta should take the penalty kick. He is the soul of Everton's midfielder. He scored nine goals and 9 assists this season."

The fans and players of Hoffenheim were stunned. When a free kick was taken, it is normal to pull in the penalty area, but the referee actually awarded a penalty.Sarihovic, who was defending Johnson, went to the referee angrily to argue.But Bettini ignored it and insisted on his penalty.

Arteta walked to the penalty spot.

"fraud!"

"Flip!"

"Football hooligans!"

There were boos all over the Karl Benz Stadium. The fans were very dissatisfied with the penalty kick. From the beginning of the penalty, they used continuous boos to express their anger.

La Masia native Arteta tried to volley, but managed to outwit Haas with a fancy spoon.

The ball is in!
"Long live Mikel (Arteta), long live Johansen! Long live Everton!"

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were dumbfounded, only the British fans who were traveling with the team were shouting crazily.

"Spoon penalty kick scoop penalty kick reproduces the rivers and lakes, Arteta! Spaniard Arteta, he is from La Masia, he has inherited the Spanish artistic style, this penalty kick is also very artistic and beautiful, just like Arteta They look the same..."

Duan Xuan went crazy again intermittently.

Liu Jianhong said calmly and calmly: "Everton leads [-]-[-], but Hoffenheim fans don't need to worry, they fall behind and then reverse, and then a big victory has almost become Hoffenheim's winning formula. Falling behind again, they will show their strength in the next game. Li Huan! He will not disappoint the Chinese fans. Li Huan has never disappointed the fans who like him. He is the only candidate for a world-class superstar in China... ..."

Everton's defense is indeed excellent. After falling behind, Hoffenheim launched a more fierce attack, but Everton's midfield was impeccable, whether it was the impact of Demba Ba, Ibisevic or Eduardo's breakthrough. To pose a threat to them, the old guy Phil Neville, who was transferred from Manchester United, was placed in the left midfield position by Moyes. He and Scott blocked Li Huan's attack together.Moyes didn't have too high requirements along the way, as long as he didn't get broken or conceded a goal.

Although Phil Neville is not as famous as his elder brother Gary Neville, his strength is not trivial, otherwise he would not have stayed at Manchester United for so many years. He was originally a defender, and now he still highlights the characteristics of a defender in the midfield position , The defense is fierce and decisive, and his ten years of experience in giants has given him the opportunity to face countless different types of talents. Under the defense of Phil Neville and Lai Scott, Li Huan did not get a good shot throughout the first half. Not even a few accurate crosses.

Without Li Huan's breakthrough and pass from the side, Demba Ba, Ibisevic and others in the center did not have the ability to break through the opponent's double-team alone, Hoffenheim's always sharp offense failed in the first half.There were only 4 poor shots, and only one shot was within the range of the goal frame.

"Hoffenheim was frustrated! They met a difficult opponent today. Their pressure and their long-range shots were ineffective. Toffees turned into brown sugar. On the defensive line, Li Huan was pinched by former Manchester United stars Phil Neville and Lai Scott on the wing, and Obasi was unable to help him. Phil Neville's experience played a huge role. He knew how to defend geniuses. "Duan Xuan said anxiously.

Liu Jianhong said: "The defense of the Premier League is more aggressive, the defense is more active than the Bundesliga teams, and they are more daring to make moves. Although Hoffenheim won at a fast pace in the Bundesliga, Everton's game rhythm is not worse than them. ..."

Duan Xuandao: "Hoffenheim's running doesn't seem to be taking advantage of it now. There are more games in the Premier League and they don't rest during the winter break. Their physical fitness is better than other leagues. Hoffenheim It was not easy to break Everton's goal in the second half."

For the first time, the Hoffenheim fans spent a 15-minute break in a depressing atmosphere. Although Hoffenheim fell behind many times in the previous games, even by more than one goal, the Hoffenheim fans never They were confident that Hoffenheim's players would be able to make a comeback, but now the fans are worried and anxious, because Hoffenheim had too few chances in the first half, and the opponent's defense was desperate. The Italian referee sternly gave the British a penalty and then became more relaxed. Hoffenheim fell down at the front of Everton's penalty area many times and he ignored it.Hoffenheim fans can't think of any other way for the players to reverse, after all, Hoffenheim's best player is already on the field now.

In the second half, Hoffenheim continued to strengthen their offense. Everton still used their solid defense to deal with it. Phil Neville and Lai Scott still defended in their own half, not giving Li Huan a chance to break through and pass the ball. Their offense The main thing is to rely on long passes. They lead by one goal, and they don't worry about their offensive efficiency. It is better to expand the score. It doesn't matter if they can't score.

Rangnick was sinking on the sidelines. He thought the game would be tricky, so he practiced defense hard before the game, but he didn't expect to encounter a penalty at the beginning of the game. This penalty made them have to attack Egypt. Forton's iron barrel formation, 4 shots in the first half made Rangnick realize the strength of the Premier League. The Bundesliga has indeed fallen behind in the past two years. They play very easily against Bundesliga teams. The team leads by three goals, and he has never been so discouraged today. The opponent's defensive system is too good, with softness and toughness, and a good combination of body and technology. He doesn't know what method to use to break through the opponent's gate.The players sitting on the bench are worse than the players on the field, but if you really can't score the opponent's goal, you have to try a substitution. As the saying goes, changing players is like changing knives.

In this way, another 20 minutes passed in the second half, and the game reached 75 minutes. Hoffenheim still hadn't opened up the situation. Only Li Huan created two free kicks on the left side of the penalty area, but Li Huan passed outside the penalty area but did not take off. To good effect, once the ball was punched out by Everton goalkeeper Howard, who played well in this game, and once was volleyed by Ibisevic.Hoffenheim's original game was played at this time when the opponent couldn't hold on, both physical fitness and fighting spirit were tortured and collapsed, but today's opponent is like a piece of brown sugar, maintaining the strength of the first half. Active running and high morale seem to be more energetic than Hoffenheim.

At this time, the Hoffenheim goalkeepers in the audience couldn't bear the uselessness of the Hoffenheim striker, and they all shouted for a change of striker.

Rangnick replaced Obasi, who was doing nothing on the wing, with the veteran Koppado who was already warming up outside the field. Obasi has not played any role in this game so far. He is under the defense of Scott and Neville. The passing breakthrough was ineffective, and the second half was like a headless chicken. It almost blocked Li Huan's dribbling line several times, which was rare in the past.

"Maybe Koppardo's experience can help Hoffenheim. He is the only remaining veteran of Hoffenheim. It is said that he will choose to leave after the end of this season. The fierce competition in the Bundesliga is no longer suitable for him. He will go to the Bundesliga. Retirement. Now Hoffenheim's strikers are full of tall players, and Koppardo, who is short, may lead another change."

After Kopardo came on the field, Hoffenheim made some changes in offense. His flexible running position can often play a role that players such as Demba Ba and Ibisevic are difficult to play. Eduardo's through pass turned into a shot opportunity, but Everton's defensive system was really good, they quickly filled the hole, and Koppardo quickly fell into the opponent's attack and became acquainted with Huo Finnheim's starters were just as bewildered.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Rangnick made another substitution. He removed Gustavo and replaced him with Streve, who had just been promoted from the youth team. This was also Rangnick's helpless choice. There are indeed too few offensive players. Although Streve is young, he has excellent skills and imaginative pass breakthroughs. More importantly, Everton must not be familiar with the young people who have just been promoted from the youth team. Maybe he can play a role. To the role of Raiders.
