The midfield king of football life

Chapter 177 044 Weak Hoffenheim

On December 12, the Hoffenheim Lienika Arena, a small and medium-sized stadium that can only accommodate 16 people, was surprisingly full today.

Hoffenheim has gone five consecutive games without a win, but the Hoffenheim fans did not give up on their team, and instead filled the entire Lienica Arena today.This is the loyalty of the fans, regardless of the performance of the team, they still love it.

When Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund players came out of the player tunnel, the entire Lienica Arena erupted in huge cheers.Their cheers were not for Dortmund, but for their beloved Hoffenheim.

After the brief opening ceremony, the referee Mayer blew the whistle to start the game.

At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim aggressively pressed the offense. They did not play a defensive counterattack cautiously. Now their situation does not allow them to get a draw.In this home game, they will try their best to win.

Today Hoffenheim's formation is also a 4231 formation, with Spurlock leading the striker.Dortmund is also a 4231 formation today, and it is a full main lineup.

At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim was still full of momentum.In the 5th minute, forward Spurlock received a pass from Japanese midfielder Takashi Usami. After receiving the ball, Spurlock immediately turned around and volleyed. Unfortunately, the ball was slightly deflected and flew out against the goal post.

Hoffenheim's aggressive attack did not achieve very good results. Dortmund's defense was airtight, and there were two generals in the back line. Dortmund's defense stood in front of the Hoffenheim players like an iron gate.

On Dortmund's bench, Li Feng looked at the situation with his hands in his hands, thinking to himself: "When Hoffenheim attacked, there was a big hole in the defense. I don't know if Gotze caught it. As long as he catches it once, Dortmund's defensive counterattack will definitely be successful."

While Li Feng was thinking, another attack from Hoffenheim was blocked by Dortmund.Hummels transferred the intercepted ball directly to Schmelzer on the wing. After receiving the ball, Schmelzer broke out with amazing speed and quickly killed Hoffenheim's half-court along the wing.

At this time, some Hoffenheim players were still immersed in the offensive rhythm just now, and they hadn't reacted for a while.

Schmelzer advanced into Hoffenheim's half and Gotze caught the ball in space.After receiving the ball, Gotze quickly attracted the attention of Hoffenheim's defensive players.

Hoffenheim's midfielder S Rudy and Williams quickly double-teamed Gotze. Gotze was assigned to Royce on the wing for the first time, and then he immediately pushed forward.

After receiving the ball, Royce made a change of direction, but failed to get rid of Hoffenheim's full-back. Royce immediately made an inward cut, ready to kill in the middle.

Seeing the actions of Lewandowski and Gotze behind Hoffenheim's defense, Royce kicked a pass and quickly passed the ball into Hoffenheim's penalty area.Lewandowski led Hoffenheim's defenders to the other side of the penalty area. Gotze suddenly inserted into the penalty area, shot with one foot, and easily sent the ball into the goal.

"GOALLLL"

"Damn, what's the situation, this is a goal, our defense is simply tofu!" A Hoffenheim fan said.

"Shit! The defense is shit, the offense can't be played, and the defense is full of loopholes. How can we win?" Another fan said.

"Come on! Come on! Attack, attack!" Most Hoffenheim fans continued to shout.

Originally, Hoffenheim's players showed disappointment on their faces, but the cheers on the scene and the head coach of Hoffenheim on the sidelines shouted from the sidelines, and the morale of the players on the field returned briefly.

In the 35th minute, Hoffenheim's midfielder Usami Takashi dribbled the ball into Dortmund's half, and then quickly distributed it to Firmino on the wing.

Firmino is also a very fast player.After receiving the ball, Firmino quickly sprinted to the bottom line of the wing, and then made a pass in the first time. Hoffenheim's striker Spurlock quickly rushed to the front point, grabbed the point at the first time, headed hard towards the goal, and the ball quickly changed direction and flew into the net.

"goalllll"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!" Hoffenheim fans embraced excitedly in the stands.

After the excited Spurlock scored a goal, he ran to the sidelines with a kneeling motion, roaring at the Hoffenheim fans, releasing the depression in his heart.

After scoring this goal, the score became 1 to 1. This goal made Hoffenheim's momentum completely burst out, and both offensive and defensive ends have changed.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 1-1.
Originally thought that starting the second half, Hoffenheim's performance would get better and better, and continue to maintain the mental state of the first half.But after several fruitless attacks in the second half, Hoffenheim's players became impatient, and the players began to make mistakes in direct passes.

In the 58th minute, Hoffenheim's pass in the frontcourt was intercepted by Dortmund's midfielder Gundogan, and then Dortmund counterattacked like a tide.

Gundogan passed the ball to Gotze in the frontcourt, and Gotze quickly distributed it to Royce on the wing. After receiving the ball, Royce attracted Hoffenheim's players to the left, and then transferred the ball with a long pass to Bwaszczykowski on the other side.

After receiving the ball, Bwaszczykowski quickly went to the bottom, and after reaching the penalty area, he quickly reversed the triangle and passed it back to Gotze who inserted in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Gotze made a slight adjustment and shot with one foot, and the ball flew directly to the far corner of the goal.

"GOALLLL"

"Dortmund scored again? Is our defense a piece of paper?" Hoffenheim fans said dissatisfied.

"The rear is full of loopholes, and it's so easy to fight back. It's completely undefended!" A fan said.

Seeing the situation on the field, Li Feng said to Perisic beside him: "It should not be surprising that we won this game."

"This is too normal, and their defensive loopholes can be seen at a glance." Perisic said easily.

After scoring this goal, Hoffenheim's coach quickly made substitution adjustments, and he hoped to make subsequent substitutions to activate the morale of the players on the field.

But the ending was not as he imagined, the players who were played did not perform in their ideal state.

In the 66th minute, after receiving a pass from his teammate, Gotze made a long pass over the top and passed the ball directly to Lewandowski in the frontcourt. Lewandowski stopped the ball with one foot and passed the ball directly past Hoffenheim's defense.

The score quickly came to 1 to 3, which was a fatal blow to Hoffenheim. If there is still hope for a one-goal difference, then the two-goal gap is almost impossible for the weak Hoffenheim.

Moreover, Dortmund, who led by two goals, did not actively attack in the next time, but controlled the ball in the half court. If they had the opportunity, they would find Lewandowski in the frontcourt and hit Hoffenheim with a long pass.

In this way, Hoffenheim is very uncomfortable, attacking and afraid of being counterattacked, if you don't attack, you will lose, so Hoffenheim's players on the field are very depressed.

This is still related to the overall strength. The strength of Hoffenheim and Dortmund is not at the same level. Coupled with poor performance, the gap in strength has been further widened.

In the end, Hoffenheim continued to lose at home.After the game, many fans directly threw Hoffenheim's scarf into the field in an atmosphere, demanding that the current head coach dismiss get out of class immediately.
