Chapter 183
Kramaric started to run between Barlogan and Huck the moment Chen Feng passed the ball. He had been staring at this position for a long time, but he couldn't directly prompt his teammates to let them pass the ball here, and he himself couldn't run directly into this space. After all, if he just ran over so directly, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly telling Huck and Barlogan that there is a problem with the cooperation between the two of you, so you see the big space?If you didn't see it, I just stood in front of you so directly, did you see it this time?If you see it, don't you rush to defend it?If you don't defend yourself, then both of you must be fools.Obviously Huck and Balogan are not fools, and neither is Kramaric, so Kramaric must have been looking at the open area, but he has never tried to scare the snake, but was looking for the best opportunity to attack. When Chen Feng passed the ball, Kramaric knew that Chen Feng had found the open area between Huck and Balogan. Offside, but this is not something he wants to care about. After receiving the ball, he didn't have time to see if the linesman was up. He flicked the football sideways, facing the goal!

Mainz's goalkeeper Rossi did not expect that Hoffenheim's attack would penetrate the entire defense line and be able to play such a cooperation.You must know that Hoffenheim’s previous attacks were individual attacks with a lot of thunder and rain, such as Amiri or Kramaric who fought alone, and fell into the double-team of several Mainz defenders.

But this time, after Chen Feng participated in the offensive cooperation, he passed the ball directly through the line of defense he believed. He didn't have time to react, and even prayed in his heart that the referee's whistle would sound quickly. The result was that Rossi was distracted by other aspects, and he couldn't attack in time to resolve Kramaric's single-handed ball. He could only wait for Kramaric's next move in front of the goal, looking for opportunities to save. The phase was given to the attacking side, but without the initiative, they did not give up at will. There is still a chance to save this goal.

"Chen steals the ball. This is a good opportunity to attack. The Mainz players are still preparing to counterattack and attack the frontcourt. I didn't expect to be counter-stealed so soon. Now facing Hoffenheim's counterattack, many Mainz's defensive players are not in place. This is the first good opportunity for Hoffenheim in this game! It depends on how their Chinese midfielder Chen will attack next?! He chose a direct pass, and the speed is very fast... But it seems that there are no Hoffenheim players here... No, Kramaric has already run in place, very fast, and there is no beauty around. Inz's players can keep up with him, this is a one-handed goal! Is it not offside?" The commentator's question is also the question of Mainz's defensive players, especially Huck and Balogan.

But since the referee didn't blow the whistle they were talking about, they were not offside. They could only quickly return to defense to defend Kramaric, who was already offside.After Kramaric moved the ball to the middle, Mainz's central defender Hart returned to the penalty area to try to grab the ball. , Kramaric didn't pay attention to Hart, now Kramaric stared at the football, and at the same time scanned the goal in front of him and the position of goalkeeper Rossi from the corner of his eye.

Rossi didn't make too many extra moves in front of the goal. After lowering his center of gravity, he kept watching Kramaric's right leg. Before the game as a goalkeeper, Rossi knew the dominant foot of all Hoffenheim's frontcourt players through the coaching staff. of.Kramaric raised his foot and wanted to shoot!Huck and Rossi fell to the ground at the same time. Huck stretched out his feet and shoveled to try to shovel Kramaric's shot line and change the direction of the football, while Rossi fell to the ground with his arms open to save.

However, Kramaric's football did not roll across the ground, but jumped up lightly, passed over Huck and Rossi, and then fell towards the empty goal at the far corner of the goal behind them!And Bell, another central defender who was supposed to help defend the far corner of the goal, was still on his way back, staring dumbfounded at Kramaric's lob shot that made the football fall into the empty goal.

"GOAL!!!! Klamarić's goal! A counter-attack, the first attack, and even Hoffenheim's first attack into the 30-meter zone, the ball scored! How could Klamarić not be offside? And No. 20 Chen's pass was also very high. It was passed directly to the area behind Huck and Barlogan. Neither of them intercepted the ball or chased the ball immediately. How could they have such an idea? This kind of naive idea directly ruined their previous advantage, and now it has only been 10 minutes, and Mainz is one goal behind at home.” While marveling at Hoffenheim’s offensive cooperation, the commentator also felt a little sorry for Mainz’s defensive problems. He completely fulfilled all the elements of a neutral commentary, but it made many Hoffenheim fans feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, he can only express his opinions with some gentle words, which makes many viewers feel too plain, and they begin to miss a certain commentator who often talks about the Bayern Munich club.

Facing this sudden goal, the Opel Economic Stadium has not yet reacted. The few Hoffenheim fans who followed the team on the expedition did not expect their team to score first. You must know that from the perspective of the first three 10 minutes of the game, Mainz generally had the upper hand. Kramaric scored a single-handed goal... and the fans of Mainz were even more unlikely to react. They thought that Hoffenheim could not threaten the goal guarded by Rossi at all. The home team had the advantage in the first three 1 minutes. Why should they be able to enter the second half with a draw?As a result, the goal came too fast, and the fans of the two teams did not have time to react.

Although there was no sound in the Opel Arena, it could not stop the Hoffenheim players from celebrating. After the goal, Kramaric ran to the corner to celebrate, then turned around and pointed at Chen Feng who passed the ball for him, beckoning him to celebrate together, and then waited for all the teammates to come to share the joy of scoring.

"Beautiful!" The players on the field were celebrating, as were the coaching staff on the sidelines and the players on the bench. Coach Nagelsmann and assistant coach Schroeder even smiled at each other. They could see in each other's eyes that they were satisfied with the performance on the field, especially Chen Feng's performance so far in this game is very good, and he has gradually begun to have the embryonic form they need in their minds. He prefers to start playing defensive counterattacks, but this does not have much to do with it. Although Nagelsmann is enthusiastic about offense, victory is more in line with his needs. For victory, offense, or the three-center back system, he can overturn it.

When the Hoffenheim players started to celebrate, the fans at the Opel Arena woke up from the confusion and disappointment of their sudden loss of the ball. They saw the Hoffenheim players gathered around the corner flag and celebrated wildly.Then there was a burst of uproar, and many Mainz fans in the nearby corner area made indecent gestures at the Hoffenheim players and shouted angrily: "Don't be too happy! It's just a lucky goal. We will be able to equalize the score soon. Just wait and see!"

There were also other Mainz fans booing crazily as the referee on duty, thinking that the conceded goal was the referee's problem. Just now, Klamarić must have been offside, and the referee didn't blow the whistle to benefit Klamarić.It must be because Chen Feng and Geiger used fouls to steal the ball!This is all caused by the referee's problem!

Coach Schmidt of Mainz also complained to the fourth referee, but he was not as fanatical as the fans. He just made a slight complaint, thinking that Kramaric should be offside, at least suspected of being offside. The referee is so sure that Kramaric is not offside, isn’t it not very good.This Schmidt is naturally putting pressure like the fourth referee. He knows that the goal can no longer be changed, but it doesn’t matter. The next game is the key. Taking advantage of this opportunity to put pressure on the referee, the fourth referee will communicate with the referee in midfield. It is the habit of the referee to blow the home whistle.

However, the fourth official ignored Schmidt at all, just shrugged at him, and listened to the referee on duty during the game. Even the fourth official can only play the role of game supervision, and has no right to interfere with the referee's judgment. He doesn’t know. After all, the referee interrupts the game and comes to the sidelines to talk to you. If there is nothing major, the referee does not have the right to do so. It depends on whether you have the courage to communicate with the referee with a yellow card or even sent off the field.

Seeing this, Schmidt knew that this road would not work, so he had to quickly urge the players on the field to forget about the ball just lost, let them all return to the game state, and try to equalize a goal.

In the first half of the game, Mainz always hoped to use their offense to get back a goal after losing the ball. However, their low offensive conversion rate did not improve even if they returned to the home court. He still feels that Chen Feng is by his side anytime and anywhere, like a shadow.

As long as Frey is defended, Mainz's midfield transition will become very difficult every time. The midfielder Ramalho is a very pure defensive midfielder. He is a blue-collar job in Mainz. He has done all the dirty work by Frey's side and worked hard for Mainz's midfield. However, Ramalho is a blue-collar player after all. The task of the butt, and now Chen Feng should be organizing the midfielder, but he has become a forward midfielder for no reason.

Donatti and Onisiwo in the frontcourt also tried to return to the backcourt to help Frey complete the organization of the midfield, but they had not trained for a long time after all, and Donatti and Onisiwo’s ability to organize and pass the ball was much worse than Frey’s.

Moreover, after Hoffenheim scored a goal in the first half, Chen Feng felt more at ease to defend and counterattack. In the midfield, Geiger and Geiger formed a double-layer midfield protection.What's more, Hoffenheim's center forward still has a fulcrum Wagner. Even if he can't hit the ball straight behind the defender, and directly lobs the ball to Wagner, Wagner can still use his fulcrum to pose an offensive threat in the frontcourt.

Every time Mainz wanted to launch an attack to suppress Hoffenheim, they would find an opportunity to intercept the ball, allowing Chen Feng to pass the ball directly behind him.In the final moments of the game, Chen Feng changed from being on the defensive and counterattack side to suddenly being on the ball possession side.

"Hoffenheim's midfield interception and restriction work was done very well today. They blocked the central axis of Mainz's Frey and Marley. Mainz, which lost this central axis, did not even show half of its offensive power in the first half.

Nagelsmann stood on the sidelines, and every player who got off the field would be encouraged and praised by his head.When Chen Feng and Amiri walked off the field talking and laughing, Amiri still wanted to complain to Chen Feng that Chen Feng didn't pass the ball to him very much in the first half, but after Nagelsman appeared next to Amiri and slapped him on the shoulder, Amiri could only walk back to the locker room holding his mouth shut.Seeing Amiri's childlike behavior, Chen Feng and Nagelsman were already a little too used to it. After a chuckle, Nagelsman said to Chen Feng: "Good job, Chen! Although I didn't arrange for you to attack in this game, as a player, sometimes you need to make decisions on the field by yourself. Especially as a midfielder who needs both offense and defense. You understand this very well. You don't need me to remind you what to do. Every good player needs to listen to the coach’s command, but a great player will follow the tasks assigned by the coach and at the same time change his tasks according to the changes on the court. This requires the player’s personal observation ability and strong team awareness, because it requires the player to judge and analyze the situation on the court, and then analyze and judge whether his judgment is correct. This is a very complicated thing, but I am very glad that you have taken the first step.”

Chen Feng received the compliment from the head coach, and he felt even happier. He was full of fighting spirit for the next game. Although it is very likely that he will be replaced in the second half, this does not hinder the continuation of his fighting spirit.

At the beginning of the second half, Chen Feng waited in the middle circle for the referee to raise a sign to notify the substitution. However, after waiting for a while, Chen Feng did not wait for the notification of the substitution, but the referee's kick-off reminder. Chen Feng glanced at Coach Nagelsmann on the sideline in surprise, wondering if something happened on the sideline that caused the postponement of the substitution, but he found that there was no movement at all on the sideline bench. Everyone was sitting in their seats, waiting for the restart of the game.Chen Feng knew that in the second half, he could continue the game.

In the second half, Mainz changed some tactics, replacing Donatti with No. 6 LS. The original head coach Nagelsmann reminded the players in the midfield that Mainz might switch to a speed player on the side in the second half to strengthen the impact of the side.What kind of substitution is this?Chen Feng couldn't figure out the meaning of this substitution at first, but he soon understood.

After the start of the second half, LS began to help Frey complete the transition between the midfield and the backcourt due to the presence of LS. Although LS did not have a good passing ability, LS directly brought the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt through personal dribbling. This made Chen Feng have to expand his defensive range of activities. Moreover, LS's style did not avoid physical contact as much as Chen Feng thought Frey did, but tried to turn around many times.Sometimes Chen Feng was able to steal the ball smoothly, and sometimes as long as LS turned around, Chen Feng stretched out his foot to intercept LS, but accidentally hooked LS, and then LS fell to the ground, Chen Feng would immediately hear the referee's whistle, and was punished for a foul.

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Chen Feng gave Mainz three free kicks. Although the first two were far away, there was a distance of about 36 meters. Although this distance is relatively long, it can be used as a good opportunity for indirect free kicks. Although Marley chose to directly attack the goal and has not scored a penalty, who knows if the next one will be scored?You must know that Marley is known as a strong man who can take free kicks as penalties.Although this is an exaggeration, Marley's free kick ability is indeed the absolute contributor to helping Mainz maintain their mid-range results this season.If Chen Feng is afraid of fouling, he must pay attention to his actions, which will greatly increase the chance of the opponent breaking through.I can use various means to prevent LS from breaking through with the ball or organizing an attack, but I can't prevent him from taking a free kick. In order to prevent Frey and LS from organizing an attack together, Chen Feng must make some necessary fouls to ensure that he can intercept and defend the attack of the two.

This is a dilemma...Mainz's offense quickly made a comeback. This time, LS dribbled the ball and broke through the middle. When he ran near the middle circle of the half, he met Chen Feng.Chen Feng was waiting for him to make a fake move or pass the ball. Unexpectedly, LS flicked the ball to the right and accelerated the breakthrough!Chen Feng froze for a moment and immediately turned around to speed up to catch up, but LS had already locked the best position, so he could only run behind. At this time, if he tried to steal the ball behind him, he would definitely foul.Is this a foul or no foul?Chen Feng quickly estimated in his mind how far it was from the goal, about 30 meters. It should be safe to foul here, right?Just now Marley's free kick of more than 30 meters was quite poor, and he hit the wall directly, so what about this time?

Chen Feng didn't know what would happen. He only knew that if he didn't foul quickly, LS would be closer to the goal. Now it was no time to think about anything. Chen Feng had to make a decisive foul. Chen Feng directly grabbed LS's jersey from behind, preventing LS from dribbling.

The referee's whistle sounded again, and this time he not only gave Mainz a free kick, but also showed Chen Feng a yellow card.Chen Feng didn't argue, and there was nothing to argue about. The chances of getting a yellow card for a forced foul at this distance are very high. If he forced to argue, he might incur another penalty for himself, and the gain would outweigh the loss.Chen Feng accepted the result, and Mainz won a free kick.The distance of this free kick was shown on the TV screen - 33 meters (I just watched the free kick in the Catalan Derby is also 33 meters away. Wuqiuwang's running position is still very good in La Liga, but other abilities are still a bit weaker. There is no way, but this is already very good.)
Although the distance was far away, Marley still carefully picked up the football as always and wiped it clean with his clothes. He wiped every part of the football until it looked like a new ball before carefully placing it on the penalty spot and aiming at the gate that Bowman was holding.

"This distance is a bit far. Although Chen received a yellow card for his foul, it has to be said that it is a very worthwhile foul. If it was earlier, then the free kick would have reached the most comfortable distance. Marley has scored four free kicks in the area within 30 meters this season, which directly helped Mainz get four points. Every free kick scored helped Mainz get one point. I wonder if he can score another free kick in today's game?" said the commentator.

After Marley put the ball in place, he waited for Hoffenheim's wall to be set up. After the referee's whistle sounded, he took a few steps back to prepare for this free kick.

Chen Feng, as one of the tallest people on the field, naturally became one of the walls of the wall. Marley's previous free kicks were not ideal, and there was another free kick that was directly hit the wall. Well, he was also the one who was hit by the free kick. His chest was hit hard, and he felt breathless in an instant.Chen Feng thought it was right to have great strength, otherwise, why would he choose to attack the goal directly from such a long distance?But last time it seemed that Marley's free kick arc was not good enough. With such a long distance, what kind of method would he choose to directly attack the goal?This should be difficult, right?

The more Chen Feng thought about it, the more a voice in his heart told him that Marley's free kick was definitely not as simple as an ordinary arc free kick. Chen Feng's heart beat rapidly, and he suddenly remembered the familiar scene in his mind.Chen Feng immediately took a step back, and fell directly to the human wall. The human wall just jumped up when Chen Feng fell to the ground, forming a height where a football could pass through. Chen Feng fell to the ground and sealed the space for the football to pass through.

With a 'bang', Chen Feng heard the accusation from his chest again, wanting to criticize him for not cherishing his body organs so much.

"Marley started to run up, kick the ball! Low ball! The speed is very fast, there is no chance... no, no chance! Chen!!! It's Chen again, wasn't he still organizing the wall just now? Why did he suddenly get out here and directly turned into another wall at the bottom! A wall that blocked Marley's spiritual free kick! No one thought that Marley would use this method to take free kicks before! His ball is very fast. It is unimaginable, and it is even possible to tie the score directly!" The commentator shouted very excitedly.

The other teammates in the human wall were a little desperate when they saw Marley's low ball. They thought that this ball could only rely on Bowman's performance, but they didn't know whether Bowman would be blocked by their vision. When they turned around, they found that Chen Feng was lying on the ground and blocked the low ball with his body. Vogt immediately cleared the ball out of bounds, and turned to Chen Feng to celebrate.

"Beautiful! How could you think he would be punished with a low flat ball! Fortunately, you blocked it in time!" Fogget kept Chen Feng, and he kept roaring in his ear. It was not that Fogget deliberately yelled in Chen Feng's ears, but because of the fierce applause when Mali was punished, but after being intercepted by Chen Feng, he instantly became overwhelming. Hurled, under the boo of the audience, Fergart's voice could not let Chen Feng hear.

Chen Feng helplessly rubbed the sore spot on his chest, and suffered the yelling from his teammates to ruin his ears, what can he do?

Fortunately, after the free kick, coach Nagelsmann chose to make a substitution and replaced him with Rudy. Although it was 10 minutes late, this substitution still became the first substitution in each game.

After high-fiving with the coach and teammates one by one, Chen Feng sat on the bench and watched the game on the field. This is what he would do every time he was replaced by Rudy. It was to compare the changes between Rudy and himself when he was on the field, and the difference from himself. The coach replaced Rudy to let Rudy do and change after he played, so that Chen Feng could sum up his gaps and how to change to become better, so as to enrich his ability and tactical adaptation.

After Rudy came on the field, he immediately changed Hoffenheim's passive defense strategy. Rudy did not run around defending between Frey and LS like Chen Feng, but started to attack after he came on the field. He started a confrontation with Mainz. Since Mainz chose to attack, Rudy also chose to attack, and the two sides directly turned into mutual attacks.

The defensive pressure on both sides is very high. Mainz’s full-back’s physical fitness and defensive pressure cannot participate in the attack. Hoffenheim’s two wings also need to help the midfielder defend LS’s attack. It should be the focus of this round, but the top game of the highlight has become the least suspenseful game. Leipzig RB fell behind 0:2 away to Bayern Munich early in the first half, which disappointed many neutral fans who were looking forward to this focus. Isn't Leipzig RB supposed to be very strong?Isn't it the best game in the Bundesliga for the 14 rounds of the league that have kept the lead in the standings?How could this have been poured into two goals early?

Although I am disappointed, the game is a 10-[-]-minute game. RB Leipzig can have time to adjust. Although they were completely helpless in the first half and scored two goals, everything is possible in the game, isn't it?Maybe in the second half, RB Leipzig can directly counterattack under the adjustment of head coach Hassenhuert, quickly equalize the score, and then play back and forth with Bayern Munich in the final stage of the game.
With such a mentality, many neutral and Leipzig RB fans insisted on watching the second half. After seeing the second half less than 10 minutes into the second half, Lewandowski received a pass from Ribery and scored directly to expand the score by three goals.

And since those neutral fans saw that RB Leipzig had no power to fight back, they could only watch other games. They happened to see this game between Hoffenheim and Mainz. The score is now 0:1. It's a lot of fun, but it's a pity that only one goal in the next game will be more perfect.

After the game, the Hoffenheim fans in the Opel Arena were very excited to celebrate in the away game. Although they also thought that the team would win in Mainz, they would still be very happy after winning four consecutive victories. Nihei is only one point away!

After the game, everyone applauded and celebrated one by one. The coaching staff announced in the locker room that they would lead the players to a barbecue restaurant and have dinner together. The crowd happily booed and said that they would directly eat the poor coaches tonight...

Although they won Mainz, Hoffenheim are not happy yet. They have a good year before they have a good Christmas. There is still one of the most important stumbling blocks, the Ingolstadt team, one of the favorites for relegation this season.For this game, the coaching staff simply announced that they would not go back to the club base in Sinsheim after the Mainz game, but would go directly to Bavaria the next day after a night's rest in Mainz.The name of Bavaria may not be known to many people, but most people will know it when it is mentioned another name of this state. Bavaria can also be called Bayern, and the state capital is of course the well-known Munich.

With only three days of rest, Hoffenheim has to go to Ingolstadt in Bavaria to prepare for the last game before the offseason. With such a tight schedule, the coaching staff dare not go back to Sinsheim to let the players go back and regroup before going to Ingolstadt the next day. In order to ensure the team's atmosphere and seriousness about the game, it is the best thing to do.The whole team went directly to Ingolstadt to step on the field in advance to prepare for the last game before this year, and to have a good year after winning the game. After all, Christmas is New Year in the West.And there is another good news for Hoffenheim that Ingolstadt is the last match in this round. I don’t know why other teams played on the 17th and 18th, but only Ingolstadt played against Leverkusen on the 19th. The difficulty is not less than that of Hoffenheim as an away game. The home team has one less preparation day than the away team.
