Chapter 587 Huo Village's Miraculous Oolong
Rangnick stood at the door of the locker room for 1 minute. He was calming down his emotions. At the last moment, he equalized the score and scored an extremely valuable away goal. However, this did not prove the success of his tactics. This goal was completely attributed to Li Huan It is related to Ruud van Nistelrooy's genius performance and the negligence of the opponent. If it were replaced by the other two players, this goal would not have appeared at all.

After pondering for a long time, Lannick straightened his suit, opened the door, and walked into the dressing room.The chattering voices in the locker room stopped abruptly. Some people packed their shoes and socks, some drank water, and some shook their heads and listened to music.

Rangnick has many years of coaching experience and knew that his players must have been talking about him just now. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Our tactics were wrong in the first half."

All the players in the locker room looked suspicious. Everyone knew that Rangnick was famous for his stubbornness. He sometimes argued endlessly with Zeidler in meetings. Would he take the initiative to admit his mistakes?The Hoffenheim players almost thought they had missed the word 'no'.

Lannick continued: "Actually, it can't be said to be a mistake. It should be that our personnel arrangement is not reasonable enough to meet our pre-match tactical requirements."

Only then did the players realize that Rangnick did not think that his tactical arrangement was wrong, but that his personnel arrangement was wrong, but for Rangnick, this is already very valuable.

"Fortunately, we got a good result and scored an away goal. Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal was very beautiful, and Li Huan's last assist was also very courageous. I must thank them. Without them, we won the second half. It would be very passive."

Rangnick praised Li Huan and Van Nistelrooy in public, and other players in the locker room also gave them thumbs up.

"Fortunately we have Li Huan, it's not easy to score at the last second." Demba Ba said, he and Ruud van Nistelrooy are competitors, at this time it is natural to praise Li Huan highly and derogate Ruud van Nistelrooy's role to the minimum.But Li Huan's role in the last ball was indeed crucial, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

Next, Rangnick readjusted the team's tactics. Now he can play defensive players to keep the tie. Tymoshchuk and Weiss can play one after another to strengthen the control of the midfield.

Hoffenheim scored a valuable away goal. Even if their minimum goal for this game is achieved, Villarreal is not a weak team. The tactics against them cannot be designed in just a few minutes. Keeping a draw with an away goal is a victory for Hoffenheim. They only need a [-]-[-] at home to advance. In such a major game, world-class coaches will not attack with their heads covered .

In the home dressing room, Manuel Pellegrini went into a rage. He swallowed the last goal like a fly. It wasn't just a goal, it was an away goal, and what an away goal does It was fatal in the two rounds of knockout rounds. One can be used as two, but it was taken by the opponent at the last second. How could the Chilean engineer not be angry.

"Godin, you and Cazorla stormed Hoffenheim's left, paralyzed it, and forced them to attack on the right."

"Pirres, Capdevila, you continued to break fast in the second half and played behind the Chinese defender."

"Senna, you have a closer relationship with Ibagaza..."

Pellegrini arranged tactics for the Villarreal players in the second half, and he actually set his mind on Li Huan, the world's number one attacking defender, trying to use Li Huan's back to score. What kind of effect will the tactics of putting one's death to one's death and then reviving one's life will have.

After the start of the second half, the fans discovered that Hoffenheim had made a substitution. Sarihovic was replaced by the Russian midfielder Timoshchuk, and Hoffenheim played a double midfielder.

Rangnick’s substitution did not surprise the fans and Pellegrini. After scoring an away goal, he defended firmly, scored as soon as he could score, and did not let his opponent score if he could not. Normal coaches would do this, it's just that Rangnick did it a little earlier.But Pellegrini has already made arrangements for this.

After Hoffenheim played Tymoshchuk, the interception ability of the midfielder was greatly enhanced. Timoshchuk is a full-time robber, much better than Saryhovich, a half-bait, with two midfielders and one midfielder. In comparison, it is not a simple 1+1. The defensive cooperation of two people has an effect greater than 2. Tymoshchuk's playing has relieved Gustavo's pressure a lot.

Hoffenheim's three midfielders intercepted everywhere, and the three forwards except Ruud van Nistelrooy all came back to defend. Villarreal's cooperation in the midfield was not so smooth, and they could easily get shots in the first half. Opportunities, and now it is very difficult to penetrate into the frontcourt, so we can only find a way to open the gap from the two sides.

Cazorla and Godin launched a violent attack on Hoffenheim's left, Ibagaza also fully supported the left, Ibezberg was barely able to defend with the help of Tymoshchuk.

Ibagaza is a well-known organization master in La Liga. It is already very good for Ibezberg and Timoshchuk to be able to defend. It is unrealistic to expect them to assist. Hoffenheim’s current offense is completely dependent on the center. and right.

After the substitution in the second half, Arshavin came to the position of the attacking midfielder and attacked after Ruud van Nistelrooy.Hoffenheim is mainly offensive in the Bundesliga. The midfielder is basically a single midfielder. Eduardo and Arshavin play on each side. Arshavin rarely plays the midfielder, but Arshavin is no stranger to this position. He has experience as a midfielder in both Russia and Zenit.

In this position, Arshavin met his old rival Senna. They had played against each other twice in the European Cup, and Arshavin lost badly both times.Arshavin had long wished for revenge. The two had sporadic contact in the first half, and neither could do anything to the other. Lannick moved him to the midfielder's position, which was exactly what he wanted.

Senna defeated Arshavin twice, the psychological advantage is obvious. Seeing Arshavin came to the middle, the Brazilian's funny nature was exposed. He even raised two fingers at Arshavin. I don't know if he wants to win you again. , or I've won you twice, it's a provocative gesture anyway,

Arshavin couldn't suppress the fire in his heart. After receiving the pass from the backcourt, he went straight to Senna, wanting to challenge Senna one-on-one.Arshavin tried to sway Senna by using false and real shaking, but Senna pre-judged, blocked his position, and stabbed the ball to Cazorla's feet. Villarreal took advantage of this ball to complete an attack.

Five minutes later, Arshavin once again received a long pass from Li Huan in the backcourt, and once again formed a one-on-one with Senna in the middle. He grabbed Arshavin's jersey and the ball was intercepted by Bruno.The referee Riley didn't notice Senna's little action, and Arshavin yelled at the referee very dissatisfied, and was almost shown a second yellow card by Riley.

Two minutes later, Arshavin and Senna once again formed a one-on-one, but this time Villarreal was eager to attack and had a small number of defenders. Senna was distracted and was distracted by Arshavin, forming a breakthrough , Arshavin faced the sub in the middle of the ball cleverly, Van Nistelrooy got a one-handed chance, but Senna chased back quickly, he quickly caught up with Van Nistelrooy, a flying shovel affected Van Nistelrooy's shot, Lopez Block Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot with his fingertips.After getting up, Lopez gave Senna a thumbs up. He was very grateful for Senna's flying shovel, otherwise the king of the small restricted area would definitely not waste this opportunity.

In three confrontations, Senna and Arshavin could be said to be tied. Both of them were unwilling to show weakness. When Li Huan was defending calmly at the back, Villarreal attacked from the right, and Arshavin and Senna confronted each other in the middle. became the main theme of the game.

At 10 minutes into the second half, Obasi, who was running back and forth like a midfielder, cramped. Lannick replaced him with Weiss to further strengthen the defense. At this moment, Lannick had already tacitly agreed to a one-to-one result.

The play of Weiss not only strengthened Hoffenheim's midfield defense, but also liberated Li Huan at the same time. Unlike Obasi, Weiss has an offensive task. He is a full-time defender, and the cooperation with Li Huan is more tacit. The ability to temporarily act as a defender is something Obasi doesn't have.After Weiss played, Li Huan's left side gradually became active again.

Li Huan's assist doubled the pressure on Villarreal's defense. Pires couldn't bear Li Huan's repeated attacks and was too tired to cramp. For Villarreal, who are now in urgent need of offense, replacing Pires is a major loss.

In the 25th minute of the second half, Hoffenheim had gradually gained the upper hand. Villarreal's attack did not pose any threat to Hoffenheim's goal, but every counterattack by Hoffenheim All made Villarreal terrified. According to this development trend, Hoffenheim's goal is almost inevitable.

However, at this moment, an accident changed the course of the game. Li Huan launched an attack from the wing. Ruud van Nistelrooy headed his cross from the baseline and hit it on the goal beam. After bouncing back, the ball was passed by central defender Bruno. At Ibagaza's feet, Ibagaza made a long pass from the midfielder to find Llorente. Gustavo stepped forward to compete with Llorente for this spot. Under the entanglement of the two, Gustavo's head The ball clearance turned into a head kick, and his head shake was very like a lion's head shake, but it was backwards.

Goalkeeper Hildebrand didn't feel that the ball was dangerous at first, but the ball drew a strange arc and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal after Gustavo shook his head like a lion. go.Hildebrand was instantly terrified, how could he have expected such a situation to happen.He jumped up, raised one arm high, and hit the ball.

Gustavo's header was simply a world wave. The forward clearance turned into a backward kick, and that's all, but Gustavo actually had a spin, Hildebrand The dozen that jumped up with all their strength failed to touch them.Even Llorente was stunned by such a header.

The ball flew into the dead corner against the crossbar and Villarreal took the lead with little effort.

This strange situation shocked everyone in the audience.Immediately, the Love Song stadium was boiling, and all the fans wearing yellow jerseys jumped up to celebrate and shouted, "We love you on the 21st! Villarreal on the 21st thank you!"

Pellegrini was hit by this sudden happiness. He was like winning a huge prize of tens of millions. He couldn't believe it was true, until his assistant coach hugged him, shook him desperately and cheered, Only then did he believe that they were really ahead.

Hildebrand wanted to scold Gustavo angrily, but was caught by Li Huan and Captain Compaq. This is not the time to criticize, and it cannot be said that it is Gustavo's fault. It's just that he was unlucky.

Everyone in Hoffenheim watched the number on the electronic scoreboard become 2:1, and shook their heads with wry smiles. Who would have thought that such a situation would happen. Such rapid changes.

Gustavo looked at the ball still spinning in the net, with a mournful face, and kept pulling his hair. He really couldn't figure out why he had an own goal, and why it was impossible.

The other people in Hoffenheim watched the number on the electronic scoreboard change to 2:1, and shook their heads wryly. That's how things change.

Gustavo looked at the ball still spinning in the net, with a mournful face, and kept pulling his hair. He really couldn't figure out why he had an own goal, and why it was impossible.

The on-site commentator jumped up and shouted: "Unbelievable! It's unbelievable. Villarreal actually took the lead in a disadvantaged situation. This goal is really weird. How could it be such an arc? It is estimated to be 21 No. Gustavo himself can't think of it, if he can push out such an arc every time, he can be a striker."

He Wei, the commentator of the imperial court, couldn't help sighing, "This is the accident of football, which cannot be completely controlled by manpower, just like this goal, like hitting the goal post, these are uncontrollable. It's not a good sign for Finnheim, they have three defensive players, they have no attacking power, and it will be very difficult to equalize the game."

Tao Wei said: "If Villarreal doesn't score any more goals, 2:1 is acceptable. After all, there is an away goal, and Hoffenheim only needs a [-]-[-] at home to advance."

He Wei said: "I'm afraid that Hoffenheim will be affected by this own goal, and their emotions will fluctuate too much. If they are eager to equalize the score, and Villarreal will score again in the end, it will be bad."

Tao Wei said: "I hope that Lannick can stabilize, and that Li Huan can show his power again."
