Center

Chapter 335 Bad luck
Hoffenheim's attack failed to form a shot. The ball was first destroyed by Barzagli from the penalty area. Misimovic immediately stuffed the ball into Martins near the center circle. Facing Comper who was fighting and retreating, Martins did not do too many extra moves, but directly sent the ball behind Comper, and then immediately started sprinting!

Such rough dribbling moves could only make the Hoffenheim fans laugh their teeth out if someone else did it, but Martins made the Hoffenheim fans open their mouths in surprise.
But he couldn't even make a foul. When he reached out to pull Martins, he only pulled a cloud of air, and when he was about to risk a red card with a shovel, Martins had already gone far.

After a few strides, Martins caught up with the ball. In almost two or three seconds, Martins rushed to the front of the penalty area and successfully caught up with the ball.

Hildebrand attacked, and he attacked in a timely manner. Martins' single-handed level is not particularly good, and he is not the kind of shooter who can easily pass the goalkeeper and then hit an empty goal.

Seeing that Hildebrand had rushed out of the small penalty area, at this moment, Martins suddenly raised his foot while running and shot directly!

This shot was beyond Hildebrand's expectations, and now he was at least ten meters away from the nearest defender of Martins. He had enough time to adjust his shooting action, but this shot seemed to be hasty-but it was such a hasty shot that instead played a role in confusing the opponent!
The ball flew out close to the ground, but Hildebrand hurriedly fell to the ground, but it was already a step too late. The ball rolled past him, and then rolled into the gate behind him at a slow speed!
One to one!In the No.307 minute of the first half, Wolfsburg used a beautiful counterattack to equalize the score!
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands booed. After scoring the goal, Martins turned a deaf ear to four or five somersaults in a row.

Rangnick sighed. There was absolutely no way to lose the ball. Hoffenheim just pressed forward a little bit. Wolfsburg made a through pass in the middle, which formed a goal.
Even if you suffer a little bit defensively, you can't lose your strengths and characteristics.

The game restarted, and Rangnick was not too disappointed with the conceded goal, because this goal was just a product of Martins' perverted personal speed, not because Wolfsburg suppressed Hoffenheim offensively, but only 2 minutes later, Rangnick stood up again!

An extremely smooth cooperation in the middle, several midfielders penetrated consecutively with short passes, Hoffenheim had a lot of defensive players in the half, but they were still smoothly pushed to the front of the penalty area by the opponent.

Misimovic took the ball in the middle, Gustavo and Salihovic came up to meet him at the same time. Other players were also marking Martins and Dzeko in the penalty area. At this moment, Genia appeared on the side. Misimovic sent the ball in front of him immediately. The Albanian took the ball into the penalty area, and then resolutely shot from a small angle!
Hildebrand made a beautiful save, and the ball was returned to the penalty area by his hands. Zeke suddenly rushed out from the crowd, stopped Li Jie, who was chasing after him, and immediately kicked up a volley!

This time, no one can stop the ball from shooting. Marin, who returned to the penalty area, planned to fly to the empty goal, but he was still a step too slow!
The ball flew past Marin quickly, and hit the net behind him heavily!
In just 3 minutes, Wolfsburg completed the reversal!

Zeko ran fast on the pitch, throwing off one teammate after another - he was smiling happily, while the Hoffenheim players were just the opposite, looking at the cheering and celebrating Wolfsburg players in disbelief - let them score two goals like this?

The boos from the stands were gone, and the Hoffenheim fans couldn't believe it. Just now they were leading at home, and the situation was very good, but now they are one to two behind!

Rangnick didn't even sigh at this time - if the first conceded goal was due to the explosion of Martins' personal speed, then this conceded goal was a wonderful overall cooperation of Wolfsburg's offensive players.

So Rangnick decided to wait and see what happened. There was not much time left in the first half, and Hoffenheim's players would not be confused by these two conceded goals.

The rest of the first half passed like this. Wolfsburg originally wanted to go all out to make another victory, but the Hoffenheim players quickly recovered from the blow, blocked Wolfsburg's attack with a tight defense, and took advantage of the momentum to launch a counterattack and almost equalized the score.

************************************
"In the second half, continue to play like this, just like the first half."

As soon as Rangnick said these words, all the Hoffenheim players who looked forward to seeing Rangnick hope that their head coach could plan a strategy and guide them to turn the tide in the second half were all stupid.The opponent has already scored two goals in the first half, what should I do if I concede two goals in the second half?
"Apart from the beginning of the first half, did we play worse than Wolfsburg? No, we even had the advantage. That goal left no one speechless!" Seeing the players looking at each other, Rangnick suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "And what about their two goals? That's just luck! Relying on a fast striker's successful sneak attack and a beautiful cooperation that they might not be able to play in ten games, that's all! What does this mean? It means that there is nothing wrong with our tactics. But luck will not always be on their side! In the second half, we continued to attack like the first half, to let them know that luck is not the only thing on the football field, and strength is what determines the final result of the game! And we do not lack strength!"

What Lannick said was not very reasonable. Of course strength is needed on the football field, luck is also a very important part, otherwise there would not be so many upsets, but at this time, Lannick's words are the most encouraging!
The morale that seemed a bit sluggish because of two goals lost was re-inspired. The players in Hoffenheim are very young, and youth means vitality and their spirit of never admitting defeat!
"In the second half, the ball was concentrated at the feet of the dragon." Lannick said meaningfully: "They have the speed of Martins, and we also have the body and impact of the dragon."

Lannick's words are obvious. When the other players on both sides have similar abilities and specialties, Martins and Long Bisheng, two players with extremely distinctive technical characteristics, may become the key to determining the outcome of the game.

**************************************
After the start of the second half, the Wolfsburg players were stunned to find that Hoffenheim was not affected by their reversal in the first half. After the start of the second half, they still played back and forth in the frontcourt without haste, counterattacking on the spot after losing the ball, and the overall formation was still very high...

"Aren't you going to learn to be good after suffering a loss?" Wolfsburg's coach Amin sneered in his heart, stood up, and made a gesture toward the field to advance towards Hoffenheim's half-court.

His intention is obvious, to play more direct passes and play more behind the back.

The Wolfsburg players quickly noticed this. With Hoffenheim pressing higher and the central defenders basically close to the center circle, it is undoubtedly a good way to take advantage of Martins' speed with a long pass behind him.

Ritter cut off Salihovic's ball from the wing. Seeing that no one came up to force him for a while, he immediately made a long pass and kicked the ball into Hoffenheim's half.

Martins immediately started to start, but Ritter's pass was a little too big. When Martins caught up with the ball from the wing, several defenders of Hoffenheim had already returned to the defense. In the end, Comper made a header in the penalty area to make a clearance.

A few minutes later, Wolfsburg had another chance to counterattack, this time Misimovic got the ball in the middle, and then passed the ball to the feet of Martins cruising in the center circle.

Hoffenheim's rear guard was replaced by Li Jie, and Martins followed suit, throwing the ball behind Li Jie, and then planned to sprint with all his strength!
But Li Jie's turning speed was much faster than Compo's. He immediately turned around and Martins blocked him, and then quickly chased after the ball. Martins, who was blocked by him, couldn't sprint at full speed. Finally, before he rushed into the penalty area, the ball rolled into the penalty area, and Hildebrand, who was attacked, easily got it.

Rangnick on the sidelines folded his hands and sneered slightly—don't you want to rely on the speed of Martins?Then I will make him unable to rush!You must know that although Martins is fast, his dribbling skills are not very good. His long-distance attack basically relies on sprinting. Although Li Jie's absolute speed is not fast, as long as he can restrain Martins' sprinting, then his threat can be minimized!
