Chapter 501 Huo Village Miracle Competition Killed

Five minutes after Zenit scored, Sarihovic came on the field. He replaced Obasi. Obasi was almost invisible in this game. It's not Li Huan's fault, it's because Weiss and Obasi didn't do a good job. He can't accuse a defender of poor defense after taking half of the team's offense, even though Li Huan asked himself so.

The teammates knew the purpose of Sarihovic and Demba Ba very well. Hoffenheim was going to attack, and they wanted to kill Zenit's hope of equalizing in the bud.

Hoffenheim wanted to attack, which shocked everyone on the scene, because as we all know, Zenit has scored 13 goals in five games against three Bundesliga teams this season, an average of nearly three goals per game , and scored four in three games. Hoffenheim played very well in the first half and scored two goals. It is definitely a risky behavior to change tactics like this in the second half.

The on-site commentator severely pointed out Rangnick's mistakes, and said: "Since ancient times, there have been no famous games in the competition, and almost without exception, all coaches have played defensively in the finals. In the Champions League final, he didn't play a smooth attack, and Rangnick's approach is a bit dizzy now."

Although Rangnick's approach was a bit risky, he still learned the lesson of the first big loss. This time, he still left two midfielders on the court, and Salihovic is very comprehensive in offense and defense, and can also replace Li Huanfa. The ball is not all because the opponent loses his mind after scoring a goal.

The Zenit players were worried because Hoffenheim had too many defensive numbers. They were overjoyed when they saw Hoffenheim attacking. They fell behind and did not counterattack conservatively. They played against Hoffenheim. A very fast-paced counterattack started.

Zenit's players are by no means inferior to Hoffenheim in physical fitness. The players in the backcourt are tall and the players in the frontcourt are not tall. They are both flexible and fast. Apart from Arshavin who likes to dribble, other Most of the players adopt the small-scale cooperation of two-on-one and two-on-two, which is simple and smooth, a bit like Barcelona and Arsenal, but not as complicated as Barcelona and Arsenal.Let the players of Hoffenheim hard to defend.

But Hoffenheim is not afraid. Although they focused on defensive counterattacks before the game, Rangnick also considered the possibility of the opponent scoring first, so how to limit the opponent's fast and flexible wing cooperation? targeted deployment.

Of course, this arrangement is very dirty, the main thing is fouls, people can't pass the ball, the ball can't pass people, and players who run empty are not let go.Anyway, the opponent's main center forward is not there, and the ability to attack is poor, so try to give them free kicks and corner kicks.

Hoffenheim's style of play is a bit nasty, but it is very effective. After Sarihovic came on, Hoffenheim got two yellow cards in 10 minutes. Zenit won three free kicks and one corner kick. , But Zenit gained nothing. They strengthened their flexibility and quickness, but also lost their ability to attack and header.

What makes Zenit fans and players even more angry is that Hoffenheim can foul anywhere unceremoniously. As long as they enter the area 30 meters in front of the goal, they dare not foul at all. They must play very elegantly. To prevent the opponent from getting a free kick, today Li Huan has performed Xiao Li's flying knife, and Malafeyev has no power to fight back.They don't want to watch Li Huan perform again.

A defense like Zenit requires more troops. Ibisevic, Eduardo, and Demba Ba are not bad at breaking through. It is difficult to steal and destroy one-on-one without fouling.The investment of defensive troops weakened the strength of the offense. Zenit and Hoffenheim's offense could not hold up after only 10 minutes, and they had to come back to defend and counterattack.

Huang Jian wanted to joke: "Compared to Hoffenheim's gangster approach, this Zenit team has become a teacher of civilization and righteousness. Rangnick seems to have guarded against Zenit's fast wing attack. Now It depends on which side scores first."

The leading Hoffenheim played against Zenit. Under the opponent's foul at all costs, Zenit's good defensive counterattack has been unable to fight. As time goes by, the situation is becoming more and more difficult for Zenit. Not good, but it is not easy for Hoffenheim. The number of yellow cards they have received is increasing. Rihovic did not take the card.Once they accidentally get another card, they may become a 10 against 11 situation.At this moment, both sides are gritting their teeth and holding on.It depends on which side falls first.Players on both sides know that since the beginning of the football game, no championship has been easily won.

Zenit's wing attack is really very powerful, and the midfielder Timoshchuk's long pass scheduling ability is very strong. The first one who can't support it is Weiss. His task today is indeed a bit heavy. In the past In the game, he only needs to fill in Li Huan's space, and he doesn't have many offensive tasks. However, in this game, he is serving as a defensive midfielder. He not only needs to help Li Huan fill the space, but also takes care of the middle. In the 35th minute, Wei Wei Si got his second yellow card for shoving Dani when Zenit's quick transition from center to wing.But if he doesn't overthrow Dani, Arshavin's goal can form a breakthrough in the ribs, and Weiss has no choice.

Although the game plus stoppage time is less than 15 minutes, their situation has become more dangerous.They didn't break through the opponent's gate first, but the opponent got rid of them first. Then they must face Zenit's crazy counterattack. Whether they can withstand the last ten minutes is the key to winning the championship.

With Weiss off the field, the situation of the game has changed dramatically. The coaches of both sides must make the fastest decision at this time. At this moment, Rangnick no longer cares about face and his offensive football. He walked to the sideline and made a decision. With all the gestures of returning to defense, Hoffenheim at this moment only has the means of intensive defense.Marco shouted vigorously beside him: "All return to defense, defend desperately, we will be the champion after these ten minutes!"

Advocaat didn't look happy either. As long as the opponent had a bit of brains, they would defend intensively. They lacked a center, and even if there was one more player, they might not be able to break through the opponent's defense.But Advocaat also had to give it a go, and they only had 10 minutes.Advocaat replaced two people in one breath to strengthen the offense and defense against Li Huan.Korean left-back Kim Dong-jin came on the field and replaced Hill. Kim Dong-jin was able to run and had good physical strength, so he happened to mark Li Huan.Since the team lacks the ability to head the ball, Advocaat simply replaced Faizulin and replaced Turkish striker Turk to strengthen fast interspersed and coordinated, use fast to win, and beat Hoffenheim players who are tall and slow to turn. weakness.

At this moment, the commentator Thomas also seemed to smell a bit of blood, "Advocaat replaced two players in one breath. Although it seemed that Jin Dongjin was replaced as a defender, it was the final preparation for the offense. Jin Going east is to pinch Li Huan, who is the most threatening in Hoffenheim. Turk, a more aggressive Turkish fighter, replaced Faizulin just because the German bayonet became popular. The time to fight has come. This is Stalin on the football field Let's see if the Germans or the Russians will have the last laugh."

From the place where Weiss fouled, the Russians started their final counterattack. Arshavin passed a curve ball from the left side of the penalty area to the outside of the penalty area. Due to the interference of the human wall, the quality of Arshavin's pass was actually not good. Not very high, but because Weiss was sent off, Hildebrand, who was a little emotional, made a mistake and didn't get the ball.The fans at the scene let out a burst of exclamation.

The ball flew to the back point and was caught by Anyukov, who quickly inserted from behind. He leaped high to overwhelm Ibetsberg and headed the ball towards the near corner of the goal.Anyukov plugged in so fast that the camera lens hadn't caught up with it, and the Hoffenheim fans had no time to let out another exclamation, and Anyukov grabbed this point.

"Boom!" The ball hit the goal post heavily.

Anyukov and Ibetzberg fell together in the penalty area.

"God bless!" Hoffenheim fans almost couldn't help shouting such a sentence.

"Ah!" The Russian fans stamped their feet and beat their chest regretfully.

Advocaat almost jumped up, and immediately sat down again, luck, what he needs most at this moment is luck.

"It's a fluke!" Lannick yelled into the field immediately after wiping the cold sweat off his head: "Concentrate, Hildebrand, I'm very disappointed in you, you can't make such a mistake again!"

Huang Jian thought: "God helped Hoffenheim, now it's time for Hoffenheim to save themselves, they can't stick to it, they must fight back, otherwise it will definitely become a stick, and no one has cleaned them up Corpse, ten minutes is not a short time, they need to put a little pressure on the opponent's defense, Rangnick can't expect to use two forwards to defend the opponent's attack."

Rangnick also understood this truth. He immediately asked Jankel to warm up on the sidelines, ready to replace a forward.But the Russians continued to control the ball and attack desperately. Wave after wave, Hoffenheim cleared the ball and was immediately caught by Ezenit's players, and then launched a second wave of attack. Nick couldn't even find the time to make a substitution, and finally waited until Tymoshchuk's long-range shot went over the lintel, and then Rangnick replaced Ibisevic with Janker, playing a back five. Tactics, this is to liberate Li Huan. When Weiss is off the field, someone must replace the space left by Li Huan. Yanker is the panacea in the backcourt. He had promised to give Wellington a chance to play, but the situation was critical now, and he couldn't fulfill his promise.

Zenit still crosses from the side, or uses the side to open the defense of the center and then hits back to the center. The focus of attack is still Hoffenheim's left side Ibezberg.Because of too many people attacking and defending, Hoffenheim's left side was overcrowded. In contrast, Li Huan's right side was deserted.

High balls, ground balls, low balls, Zenit delivered crosses again and again.

Shots from long distances, hard shots, headers, Zenit shot at every opportunity.

In just five or six minutes, Zenit has completed five shots in Hoffenheim's half, an average of one per minute, in addition to four crosses and one free kick.People in Hoffenheim feel that time is crawling slowly like a tortoise, but people in Zenit feel that time flies like a rocket.The same thing is that the players on both sides are anxious and make great moves. Although the players of Hoffenheim want to provoke the anger of the Zenit players, the Zenit people have no time to care about it. Injurious moves, they also get up and attack immediately. They know that the opponent wants to disrupt their rhythm and delay some time. They can no longer fall into the opponent's tricks.

Seeing that the specified time of 10 minutes was approaching, Zenit still had nothing to do with Hoffenheim's defense, and as time passed, the emotions of the Zenit players became more and more irritable. They no longer care about organization and layering. No matter which player gets the ball, they will immediately choose a long shot, or kick the ball directly into the penalty area, expecting their teammates to score, expecting to meet the opponent or An own goal came from a teammate, and I was looking forward to a long-range shot with shit luck.

The Hoffenheim players also completely forgot about Lannick's orders, and handed the ball to Li Huan. If not, they would kick to Li Huan's right, so that Li Huan had a chance to get the ball. Seeing the ball was like meeting an enemy. Similarly, kicking out, it doesn't matter which direction the kick is, as long as it doesn't kick towards your own goal, the stronger the power, the better, and the faster the speed, the better.

In the 89th minute, Zenit defender Krizanac's long-range shot hit a Hoffenheim player. The ball just bounced out, and Denisov, who rushed diagonally, kicked without even adjusting his movements. A volley shot; this shot was low, flat, and fast, and flew through the crowd to the goal. Caught off guard, Hildebrand fell to the ground and did not touch the ball, but at this moment the man standing by the post Li Huan quickly kicked the ball out.

At this time, the fourth official issued a 5-minute stoppage time sign, which made Lannick very angry. He babbled at the fourth official, protesting that the stoppage time was too long. Minutes are still longer.Referee Floyd Felt had to come over and give him a yellow card to be quiet.

Zenit sent a tactical corner kick. Arshavin dribbled the ball and played a series of cooperation with Ziryanov and Kim Dong-jin on the wing. Then Kim Dong-jin swept into the penalty area, but the ball was immediately missed by Hoffenheim. The defender's big foot kicked out.The ball just landed in front of Demba Ba, and Demba Ba wanted to stop the ball with his chest, but just as the ball hit his chest, Shirokov gave a shove, the ball flew far away, and he staggered Almost fell down.But the referee ignored it.

The Zenit players got the ball and continued to attack. The ball was hoisted into the penalty area again. This time Hildebrand bravely got the ball in the crowd. , Then lay on the ground and never got up again, as if injured, the Zenit players were so anxious that they reached out to pull him.But Hildebrand couldn't afford it, and didn't hand the ball to Li Huan until he saw the referee walking towards him.

As soon as Li Huan got the ball, Arshavin shoveled it over with a sliding tackle.Li Huan pulled the ball and dodged it, but at this pause, Jin Dongjin and Ziryanov double-teamed over. Li Huan turned around and brought the ball to his baseline, but suddenly passed the ball to the bottom line. In front of Demba Ba, Demba Ba was also confused by Li Huan's action. He was unprepared for Li Huan's pass, and stopped away from his body. When he regained control of the ball, the opponent's big gap in the middle had been filled on.

But at this time, Demba Bafu was very conscious and passed the ball into the large space on the left side of Zenit. There was no one there, neither Hoffenheim nor Zenit players, but Demba Ba passed the ball. After that, Li Huan, who had never stopped passing the ball, accelerated like lightning, broke through the encirclement formed by Jin Dongjin, Ziryanov and Arshavin, and chased after the ball passed by Demba Ba.That is Li Huan, who fell to the ground when the ball was about to roll out of the sideline and hooked the ball back. Before Li Huan got up, Jin Dongjin was already close at hand. Li Huan fell to the ground and hooked the ball, and it passed Jin Dongjin, who rushed over, got up quickly, dribbled the ball along the sidewalk at high speed, and killed it near the bottom line. Seeing that there was no one of his teammates in the middle to keep up, and Zenit only had one central defender, Shiroko. Husband followed.Players on both sides have no physical strength at this moment.

Li Huan cut across the penalty area. Facing Shirokov who was coming to intercept him, he made a movement of cycling around the straddle, and suddenly poked the ball with his toe, and the ball flew from Shirokov's crotch to the goal.Both Shirokov and Zenit goalkeeper Malafeyev were unprepared. The ball flew out of Shirokov's crotch, and Shirokov thought of pinching his legs, and Malafeyev fell to the ground to save .But by this time it was too late, the ball just hit the far post and bounced into the net.

3:1!Li Huan performed another hat-trick!
The Hoffenheim fans who were in extreme anxiety were aroused by this goal and jumped up screaming, "Champions! Champions! We are the champions!" Everyone shouted, this goal The ball drove them all crazy, stoppage time, two goals ahead, the championship has been sealed.

Li Huan took off his jersey and roared to the sidelines, jumped onto the billboard, and waved his jersey to the fans like a victory flag.

All the Hoffenheim fans stood up and bowed to Li Huan. This is not Li Huan's most beautiful goal tonight, but it must be the most important goal. This goal is worth a thousand dollars.Today's champion belongs to this young man.Even if he is just a shooting star, even if he is only brilliant for one day, no one can forget the miracle he created. No matter how many years have passed, as long as the fans think of this night and this game, they will still marvel at the miracle that only belongs to the defender.

Rangnick knelt on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and tears of happiness flowed from his fingers. Hoffenheim is the Triple Crown winner!He is so happy, the hard work of more than three years has finally paid off, and the grievances of more than three years have finally come to fruition.He is also now part of the championship coaches.
