Chapter 526

([-] words today, so it’s a little late)
On the way back to the locker room, Hildebrand kept complaining, "How can you miss Vidic who is the best header in the opponent. Gustavo, Tymoshchuk, you two have Standing in the middle position will not let him pass so easily. In fact, you should not let them play so easily with this tactical cooperation..."

Hildebrand's long-winded and complaining like a Tang monk finally annoyed Simunić. As a central defender, Simunić was already very unhappy about conceding the ball, and suddenly said angrily: "The situation was so chaotic at the time, who Will think so much. Do we want to concede a goal?"

Li Huan is also in a bad mood. 2:0 and 2:1 are definitely different situations, especially against a team like Manchester United, but he doesn't want the team to quarrel because of a conceded goal. He said lightly: " If I had been told before the game that we were leading by one goal in the first half, I would have been very happy."

Immediately, Hildebrand and Simunić stopped talking. They should be content with being able to lead the Champions League champions at halftime. The European Red Devils have never been a team to be messed with, and their mentality is a little out of balance now.

As soon as the players returned to the locker room, Rangnick pushed the door open and walked in. His expression was very relaxed, and he was not angry because of the conceded goal at the last moment, although he still had a little regret in his heart. It will be the most perfect half for Hoffenheim, but it has made Lennick very happy to be able to lead Manchester United in the half and beat the Red Devils into a mess.

The Hoffenheim players in the locker room had different expressions. Some were satisfied with the result of the game, a little disappointed, while others had no expression and just rested with a drink.

Lannick felt that it would be better to encourage his players at this moment. After all, after being scored by the opponent, the morale was a bit frustrated, which was not good for the second half of the game. The most important thing for a weak team to beat a strong team is morale.

"We played very well in the first half and fully achieved our tactical goals. We can't blame everyone for the goal at the last moment. The opponent played very smart and experienced. They suddenly launched a fierce attack at the last moment, but they didn't mess up the rules at all. It is normal for us to concede goals without defense. After all, the opponent's final experience is much more than ours..."

Hearing that the head coach didn't blame him, Hoffenheim's defensive players were in a much better mood. Before Rangnick came in, the defenders were still a little nervous. It is indeed the defender's dereliction of duty to hit the goal with a header.

Rangnick said: "We still couldn't defend completely in the second half. Facing a team like Manchester United, a two-goal lead is not safe. We must maintain the pressure on Manchester United like in the first half. Ronaldo and Giggs No, Rooney's state is also average, as long as we can use unremitting running to separate their midfielders and forwards, and let them fight on their own, victory is not impossible. The results of the first half of the game show that we have beat Manchester United possible.

In the second half, in addition to defending well, we must counterattack resolutely, boldly counterattack, dare to break through the front of the opponent's penalty area, and must remember the lessons learned at the last moment of the first half. You must not relax, but do you think it is possible to lead by a big score? "

Rangnick's rhetorical question made the players laugh. The possibility of leading Manchester United by a large score is too small. They must persist until the whistle sounds for the end of the game.

The 15 minutes of the intermission passed quickly. After the two teams came out of the locker room again, the mental state of 22 people was very different from that of the first half, especially the Manchester United players. Encouraged by his goal, he was still blown by Sir Alex Ferguson's brand blower. Everyone was full of energy, and they wished they could step onto the pitch and fight Hoffenheim.

In the second half, it was Manchester United who kicked off first. After Manchester United's players passed the ball to the backcourt, they quickly advanced forward in the midfield. Central defender Ferdinand made a long pass to Rooney in the middle.

Tymoshchuk followed Rooney and headed the ball back, but Manchester United's midfielder followed closely and immediately grabbed the ball and continued to attack with a long pass. This time, Ginger Scholes headed back to Anderson. , Anderson lifted his foot and tried a long shot.The ball bounced off the defender and bounced to Gustavo's feet. Before Gustavo could score, Tevez's sliding tackle arrived and the ball was shoveled to the sideline.Gary Neville crossed the ball again, and the ball was pushed out again by Hoffenheim's players.

In less than 2 minutes of the opening, Manchester United completed a long shot and scored the ball into Hoffenheim's penalty area three times. The red fruit exposed their determination to eat Hoffenheim in one bite.

Hoffenheim was very well prepared for Manchester United's counterattack in the second half. The midfielder almost used a man-to-man approach to cut the connection between Manchester United players.I want to use my active running to continue to make Manchester United fall into the situation of fighting each other in the first half.

But Manchester United was not fooled. Ferguson had already made arrangements for this during the halftime break. The players accelerated their running speed and the speed of passing and receiving the ball, instead of playing the controlling style of play in the first half. Ferguson I found out that even if they face it, it is difficult for them to control the ball like Barcelona and AC Milan. It is better to return to the Premier League's quick impact and multiple attacks. Although the efficiency is a bit worse, as long as they can Controlling the midfield, they can completely overwhelm the opponent with the number of attacks.

Other teams in the Bundesliga, even strong teams like Werder Bremen, Bayern and Schalke, will not be able to adapt to Manchester United's fast attacking style of play, and I am afraid they will collapse after a long time, but Hoffenheim's Their style of play is originally based on speed. They were able to sweep the Bundesliga because their opponents could not adapt to their endless running and fast and concise offense.Therefore, Manchester United's Premier League style of play did not confuse Hoffenheim. They still maintain a good defensive and offensive formation.

The two sides stalemate for about five or six minutes, and Manchester United gradually gained the upper hand. The midfield combination of Nani, Anderson, Scholes and Fletcher is still better than the four midfielders of Hoffenheim. In the second half, Rooney was woken up a lot by Ferguson.The pressure on Hoffenheim's defense has increased significantly.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Manchester United played a series of dazzling cooperation in the frontcourt. Rooney broke through the defense of Hoffenheim center back Compaq and midfielder Timoschuk, and broke into the penalty area to face Hildeb. Lan kicked the ball wide of the post.But this kick raised Manchester United's fighting spirit. After 1 minute, Scholes' 27-meter long-range shot from the front of the penalty area was saved by Hildebrand.

In the 58th minute, Tevez moved to the left of Hoffenheim to attack. Taking advantage of Hoffenheim's left-leaning formation, Manchester United quickly transferred the ball to the right of Hoffenheim. Evra and Rooney A situation of attacking Li Huan was formed.

Facing such a dangerous situation, Li Huan didn't panic. He first followed Rooney who was holding the ball, observed Evra's movements from the corner of his eyes, and was ready to steal at any time.

Rooney didn't dare to break through easily after hitting a wall in front of Li Huan one after another. Seeing Evra's bottom, he immediately begged to pass to Evra, and cut into the penalty area by himself, making it difficult for Li Huan to take care of both.

Although if Evra passes the ball to Rooney, Hoffenheim's situation will be even worse, but Li Huan can only defend Evra with the ball. This is the principle of defender defense, but Li Huan has an extra Mindful, he didn't put all his energy on Evra, and also observed Rooney's running position from the corner of his eye.

Evra didn't make a cross after the bottom. He saw that Manchester United's poor header ability in the front field made the previous crosses ineffective, so he wanted to attract Li Huan and hand the ball to Rooney, so that Rooney broke into the penalty area and shot. There is no one on the right side of Hoffenheim's penalty area. Even if the opponent defends when he passes the ball, Rooney has the ability to sway the defense of the opponent's defender.

But he had already prepared himself. When Evra stopped suddenly, Li Huan stopped his body almost at the same time, shoveled the ball out of the sideline, and shoveled Evra onto the turf.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. No one thought that Li Huan would not even pass a cross to his opponent under the attack of two opponents, and only let Manchester United get a pass. Missed throw-in.

Evra was beaten by Li Huan continuously today, and his anger has accumulated a lot. This time, he didn't cooperate well with the great offensive opportunity, and was brought down by Li Huan when he tackled the ball. His anger could no longer be suppressed, and he jumped up. Push Li Huan's chest with his hand.

Based on Li Huan's reaction, Evra would definitely not be able to touch him, but at this moment, Li Huan couldn't wish for it. Not only did he not dodge, but he deliberately stood still. When Evra pushed up, Li Huan fell on his back. on the ground.

At this time, Evra woke up like a dream and knew that something was wrong. If the referee gave him a red card, he would have nothing to do. Evra reacted quickly and immediately stretched out his hand to pull Li Huan, trying to cover up his impulsive behavior just now. .But by this time Eduardo had returned and pushed Evra aside.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands quit, and Evra dared to overthrow their idol. Immediately booed everywhere, and everyone chanted: "Number 3 hit someone! Give him a red card! A red card! A red card!"

The referee Larson saw more and more players surrounding him, so he ran over quickly, separated the crowd, and motioned for Li Huan to get up, but Li Huan lay still, as if he had been seriously injured by a heart-breaking palm.Just now Manchester United moved a lot, Larson was still on the left, didn't see too clearly, so he asked the line referee, just now the line referee was not far away, he could see clearly, and truthfully told the referee Larson Elson.Larson did not hesitate and decisively showed Evra a yellow card.

The Hoffenheim players saw that Larsson only showed Evra a yellow card, and they were upset. They all surrounded the referee emotionally to ask for an explanation. Gustavo said angrily: "Evra deliberately Hitting someone, why only got a yellow card, it was an obvious red card."

Rooney stared at Gustavo and said, "Where did you see the beating, that kid will perform again."

At this time, Sina's commentator Huang Jian wanted to laugh in the studio and said: "Li Huan is worthy of acting in the movie "Because of One Ball". A red card is a given. In fact, other Hoffenheim players also saw that Li Huan was performing, but the boss managed to put on a show, but only gave him a yellow card. The referee was too disrespectful.

But after receiving this yellow card, Evra must be very uncomfortable in the back. Li Huan will definitely beat him to death. With Li Huan's speed, explosive power and technique, Evra's defense zone will become Hoffenheim's back The garden is gone. "

At this time, Li Huan, who had fallen to the ground, got up from the ground, holding his chest with one hand like Xizi holding his heart. He saw that the referee was a little anxious by his teammates, so he hurried over and pulled his teammates away, cheating A yellow card is about the same.He has plenty of ways to torment the little Frenchman with a yellow card on his back.

Li Huan's fall this time killed two birds with one stone. Evra received a yellow card. He felt a lot guilty when he made the assist. Manchester United's offensive rhythm just now was completely disrupted. Exhausted, it will take a lot of time for Manchester United to adjust the rhythm again.

After Evra received a yellow card, Li Huan really shamelessly started to make crazy assists, and specifically asked Evra to single out. Evra was not as good as Li Huan in terms of speed, strength, technique, and experience, and he was back with a yellow card. Not daring to foul easily, he could only watch Li Huan break through crosses from his side again and again, breaking through inside cuts.

In just six or seven minutes, Evra's side was broken by Li Huan three times in a row.Manchester United's penalty area was beaten into chaos.Saviola and Ibisevic both got chances to shoot. If it weren't for Manchester United's two central defenders and goalkeeper combinations, which are among the top three in the world, Manchester United's goal would definitely be shot for the third time.Nani had to go back to the backcourt to defend.

Rangnick also saw that Evra's side was crumbling, and immediately used Arshavin's magic weapon, preparing to launch a fatal blow to Manchester United's wing.

In the 65th minute of the game, Hoffenheim replaced Sarikhovich with Russian Tsar Arshavin, put Eduardo in the midfielder position, and Arshavin in the right winger position. On the left, Hoffenheim played three forwards, using Arshavin and Li Huan to attack Evra's left.Strive to achieve a breakthrough.

The old Scottish Sir Alex Ferguson jumped up angrily by Li Huan's cunning and Lannick's downfall. It should not be too late. Evra's side looks quite dangerous now. Ferguson had already prepared a substitution, seeing Lannick playing his cards After that, Ferguson immediately played out his two cards at the same time.

Korean Park Ji-sung replaced Fletcher, who was mediocre, and O'Shea replaced Anderson, who was almost invisible.These two are players who are good at defense, can run and steal. Ferguson wants to use them to strengthen the interception in the midfield, directly limit the number of Li Huan's assists to the frontcourt to a minimum, and reduce the pressure on Evra. Now look It seems that it is impossible for any one person to guard against this Chinese.

But after Arshavin came on the field, Manchester United's situation became even worse. Although Arshavin's assault on the wing was not as fast as Li Huan's lightning, it was more weird and flexible. A flexible player like Evra was also defensive against Arshavin. Fortunately, Ferguson sent O'Shea up in time. O'Shea is an all-rounder in the defense.Both full-back positions have excellent abilities. With his assistance, Evra was finally not overwhelmed by Li Huan and Arshavin.However, Manchester United's offense could only be replaced by engineer-type players because of the restrictions on the wing, so that it almost became paralyzed.

At 75 minutes into the game, Hoffenheim still maintained a one-goal lead. Manchester United gradually lost their composure and began to attack regardless of the safety of the rear.And at this time, danger came quietly.

No. Rooney and Carlos Tevez switched positions in 708 minutes. Carlos Tevez came to the right of Hoffenheim and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Li Huan's assist to open the gap from the right, but Hoffenheim was very protective of Li Huan's assist. As soon as Tevez caught the ball and pulled the side, Simunić and Gustavo double-teamed.Tevez took a look at Hoffenheim's defense in the middle, and wanted to distribute the ball to the middle again, allowing Scholes to shoot long-range in the middle.

But Li Huan had already returned to the defense. Seeing two teammates double-teaming, he went directly to cut off Tevez's passing line. Sure enough, Li Huan intercepted the ball before Scholes. Before Scholes pushed forward, Li Huan quickly passed the pass to Eduardo.

Eduardo observed the frontcourt situation when he received the ball. Ibisevic was most familiar with him, but Ibisevic was tightly surrounded in the middle. Arshavin was very unfamiliar to him, and Arshavin's side There are still two defensive players getting together, and only Saviola is facing Gary.Neville, the number is less, Eduardo immediately chose to give the ball to Savio LS Viola. In this game, under the tight defense of the Manchester United defenders, he has not found a chance. At this time, he faced the veteran Gary Neville alone. He decisively chose to go beyond others. Saviola made a bicycle movement as if he was going to cut into the penalty area, but suddenly he smashed the ball and went to the bottom line.

Gary Neville is rich in experience, and Saviola's little trick can't be hidden from him at all, but after nearly 10 minutes of fighting, the veteran's physical energy has been almost exhausted. He saw Saviola's intentions but couldn't keep up with it. Going up, Saviola was wiped into the penalty area from the bottom line. At this time, Ferdinand had no choice but to come to block Saviola's way forward and the angle of the shot.

Saviola was not greedy, and directly passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area. At this time, Scholes had not returned, but Eduardo was already waiting there. He had no time to adjust and faced Saviola back. The passed ball is volleyed into the center of the goal with the instep.

Ibisevic, who was on the line of Eduardo's shot, quickly turned sideways, and the ball flew straight from Ibisevic's side to the goal.Goalkeeper Van der Sar just moved to the right, trying to block Saviola's. When Eduardo shot, his sight was blocked by Ibisevic, and he didn't see the direction the ball was coming from. Feeling fluttered, he didn't touch the ball, but felt the ball pass by his hand with the sound of wind.Van der Sar's heart turned cold, and he knew by feeling that the goal must be scored.

"3:1! Carlos. Eduardo scored Hoffenheim's third goal! It was a quick counterattack, Li Huan intercepted the ball in the midfield, Eduardo gave the ball to Saviola in the midfield, and then himself Receiving in the middle, his shot once again pushed Manchester United into a desperate situation. Now Hoffenheim has led Manchester United by two goals. There are still... 10 minutes in the game, and the time of stoppage time is only about 13 minutes. The Red Devils Manchester United, the great Red Devils, do they still have a chance to perform a miracle again? In the Champions League final, they fell behind, tied at the end, fell behind on penalties, and won in the end. Manchester United has both strength and luck. Do they still have a chance to reverse and win today? Do the Red Devils still have confidence and fighting spirit?"

The on-site commentator yelled, and he didn't know who he was encouraging.

The cheers of the Hoffenheim fans came from the stands for the third time. The passionate shouts made the air hot. This time the hero was Eduardo. The fans began to call the name of the Brazilian boy, but the fans also The Argentine Saviola, the behind-the-scenes hero who didn't ignore the pass. "Javier! Carlos! Carlos! Javier!"

Two South American players, Eduardo and Saviola, also hugged each other tightly. Brazil and Argentina are feuds on the football field, but they are now close partners and comrades-in-arms.

Rangnick jumped up, ran to the sidelines quickly, turned around and waved his hands towards the fans, shouting: "Long live Hoffenheim! Champion Hoffenheim!" Hoffenheim fans in the stands also Followed by Lannick shouted up.The atmosphere on the court became even more enthusiastic.

Not to mention how ugly Ferguson's face is, the opponent actually scored three goals for Manchester United, and the Champions League champion was beaten by the UEFA Cup champion. How can the old Jazz accept it.He had made detailed arrangements during the intermission, but he still couldn't restrain the opponent's offense. No matter in offense or defense, this small country team did better than Manchester United.Now there are only ten minutes to the end of the game, and being two goals behind almost put Manchester United in a desperate situation.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Giggs in the stands fell into despair, and the situation in the last ten minutes was almost presented in their minds in advance: Manchester United was forced to attack wildly, leaving a large space behind, while Hoffenheim Arshavin, Saviola and Li Huan galloped across Manchester United's half like wild horses, tearing through Manchester United's defense and ravaging Manchester United's goal time and time again.Manchester United lost a big score, Li Huan staged a hat-trick.It would be a disaster if that were the case, but do United have any other options than to attack like crazy?
