Chapter 401 Freeze Frame
"Hoffenheim played too tenaciously! After Newcastle scored two goals in a row, they launched a desperate attack. Serbian full-back Kolarov, who only joined this season, made a beautiful assist after breaking through, helping Chinese striker Long Bisheng tie the score! This is the third goal of the 21-year-old striker in the Champions League this season! Now he is the team's top scorer in the Champions League... It is worth mentioning that Long Bisheng followed the ladder of the Chinese Yunjia Tianyu Club when he was 15 years old. The team had a year of training in Newcastle, I don't know if his goal is a counterattack?"

If Hoffenheim fans heard this commentator, they would definitely call him nonsense. If Long Bisheng broke through the gates of Yunjiatianyu, Leeds and even Naples, it would be reasonable to say that it was a counterattack.

However, it is hard to say whether Long Bisheng has special feelings for Newcastle. After all, it was the first time he saw European football and top European giants in Newcastle. The one-year training in Newcastle also laid a solid foundation for his later growth.

But now Long Bisheng didn't think about the year he stayed in Newcastle at all. He only had one thought in his mind now, that is to continue to attack and win this game!

Although it is not a shame to get a draw at St. James' Park, this point is meaningless to Hoffenheim-professional players can't pursue not being ashamed, but victory and the qualification to move on-Alkmaar still leads by one goal in the away game, and they cannot pin their hopes on Lyon.

After the game re-kick-off, Hoffenheim launched a frantic press in the midfield. This approach was their old line, coupled with a decisive momentum, Newcastle was suddenly thrown into confusion by them.

Bostock's pass was intercepted by Baker, and he immediately passed the ball to Eduardo, allowing him to build the attack.

Eduardo didn't let the ball stay at his feet for long. This time, he brought his awareness, reaction and insight to the extreme. He continuously distributed the ball to his teammates, and then his teammates passed the ball to him who ran out of the gap in time. A series of exquisite short passes in the midfield pushed the front line into Newcastle's half in a short time.

Newcastle showed the demeanor of a strong team. Although they retreated, they retreated without chaos. Their defense was still in order. After Hoffenheim's offense advanced within the 30-meter area, there was no room for a gap.

At least Eduardo couldn't tell that the ball was still under his feet, but he couldn't find where to pass the ball.

In the wide midfield, he can pass the ball to any teammate's feet, but when he gets here, there are still many teammates around him, but he can't see where to pass the ball to tear the opponent's defense.

Although there are three substitutes on the opponent's defense line, there is nothing unfamiliar with the cooperation between them. A complete and calm defense line is the grave of the attacker.

Eduardo should have a solution, because he can still break through and the opponent's formation is complete, but he can find out the opponent's weakness through breakthrough. There is no goal in this world that cannot be broken.

But there was a person in front of him, Essien, the captain of the Ghana national team. He was only one person. Eduardo once scored three goals in a row, but he alone brought more pressure than the other three.

It's not that Eduardo has no confidence in himself, but he knows that he will not easily get rid of the defense of the man in front of him. If he is entangled by him, then Hoffenheim's offense will be in trouble.

At this time, he saw Long Bisheng running out of the penalty area, but Taylor didn't follow him immediately, because Ibisevic was still in the penalty area, and if Huntington was left alone, the gap in the penalty area would be too big.

Eduardo immediately passed the ball. Since the opponent's defense line has no flaws, the only way to pass it to Long Bisheng at this time is because no one is defending around him. Even if Long Bisheng is less threatening outside the penalty area than inside the penalty area, he can only do this.

When he was passing the ball, Ribery, who was returning to the defense, suddenly rushed over from the side, trying to intercept the ball. If the ball was intercepted, then Newcastle's counterattack would at least surprise Hoffenheim. Drogba and Walcott were still cruising in the middle circle.

Fortunately, Long Bisheng stretched his long legs and grabbed the ball back in front of Ribery. Ribery, who failed to steal the ball, immediately stuck behind him in an attempt to interfere with him taking the ball.

It is a pity that the physical gap between Ribery and Long Bisheng is probably not much smaller than the gap between Long Bisheng and him in fame. Ribery kept interfering with Long Bisheng behind him, but it was as if he was interfering with a wall. Later, Ribery himself thought it was funny, but Long Bisheng pushed him away from him with his buttocks, and began to dribble towards the penalty area.

"This kid's physical fitness is not so good..." Pei Wei couldn't help muttering. He was not only sighing because of Long Bisheng's action, but mainly because of the goal just now. Although he blocked Taylor behind him, Taylor kept interfering with him from behind, but his shooting action was not affected at all as if no one was guarding him.

Just as Pei Wei finished sighing, Taylor rushed out of the penalty area and stopped in front of Long Bisheng. He was not familiar with Long Bisheng, and he didn't know that Long Bisheng had an excellent long shot outside the penalty area, but he knew how dangerous it was for an offensive player to take the ball outside the penalty area without anyone guarding him.

Taylor's attacking posture was impeccable. Long Bisheng could only half-turn his body and lean on him to keep advancing. Of course, such a slow advance would be double-teamed by several opposing players. After seeing Ibisevic also rushing out of the penalty area to respond, Long Bisheng immediately passed the ball to Ibisevic.

After passing the ball, Long Bisheng immediately rushed into the penalty area, and Ibisevic immediately passed the ball in front of him. With two strides, Long Bisheng threw away Taylor and got the ball in the penalty area!

But Ibisevic passed the ball too far, and the angle of the shot where he took the ball was already very small. Just as Long Bisheng stopped the ball at his feet, two players immediately surrounded him.

Bernard, who returned to defense and entered the penalty area, and Huntington, who just came to make up for it.

Huntington posted Long Bisheng as soon as he came up, constantly interfering with him, while Bernard was in front of him, cutting off the possibility of him turning around and breaking through.

Long Bisheng firmly controls the ball. His foot skills are not very good, but he is very good at using his body. With his huge body as a cover, it is really difficult for ordinary people to snatch the ball from his feet. But it is very dangerous to control the ball in the penalty area. If one does not check, the attack will be over.

At this time Baker rushed over from near the sideline to meet Long Bisheng. Long Bisheng raised his foot and looked like he was going to pass the ball to the outside and then Baker passed it. This is a very normal tactic, so Bernard moved a step to cut off his pass.
Huntington felt a strong force rushing towards him, making him unsteady on his feet, and took a step back involuntarily. When he stabilized his body, he suddenly found that Long Bisheng, who was originally squeezed by him on the outside line, had circled behind him and turned to face the goal!

Huntington immediately planned to make a tackle, but Long Bisheng was really familiar with him. After passing him, he immediately dunked the ball out, just dodged his tackle, and then immediately swung his left foot and shot the ball vigorously!

The ball hit the near corner, and for this short-range shot, Cech could only do nothing no matter how fast he reacted!
"Long Bisheng controlled the ball in the penalty area. It didn't seem like a wise move. Huntington and Bernard pinched him tightly one after the other. He didn't even have a chance to turn around... Oh! He turned around! It succeeded! He dunked the ball out and evaded Huntington's tackle... Shot! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Scored twice! Young Long Bisheng scored twice against Newcastle! Hoffenheim's first goal was also assisted by him! They lead Newcastle 805-196 in the away game! This is their second lead in the game! This game is full of twists and turns! Now is the No.[-] minute of the game. Is the unbeaten record of Newcastle and Mourinho at St. James’ Park Stadium to be fixed at [-] games? This is really surprising! I don’t know how many giants have fallen here in eight years! But this record was ended by Hoffenheim, who participated in the European game for the first time!”

At this moment, Long Bisheng did not think that he might personally end a great record. He only knew that he scored a goal, Hoffenheim took the lead, and could continue to go on in the Champions Cup!
He rushed down the stands and pumped his fists into the stands. The Newcastle fans on both sides of the stands booed him harshly. No one likes a striker who has the potential to break their great record!
Of course, Newcastle would not just admit defeat like this. Mourinho also began to deploy troops frequently and replaced three offensive players in a row to strengthen the offensive. However, it is somewhat surprising that he did not send Messi, Gerrard and other superstars. Instead, he sent a few young players.

Even so, Newcastle still launched wave after wave of offensives in the last few minutes of the game, and Rangnick continued to pass the time by substituting players. Hoffenheim, including Long Bisheng, who returned to defense, maintained the lead until the end. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, almost all Hoffenheim players collapsed on the ground!
This is a great victory!Although this game is irrelevant to Newcastle, it is meaningful enough to be recorded in the history of the club!

Newcastle's home unbeaten record is fixed at 196 games.
