Chapter 24

Hoffenheim took the lead, and the Filzmore Stadium was flooded with frantic shouts in an instant.

Gray excitedly ran to the bottom of the stands, and opened his arms to enjoy the cheers from the fans.

On German TV 1, Polly said with an even more excited expression:

"Goal!! Hoffenheim scored the first goal!! Facing Nuremberg, Hoffenheim was not afraid at all, they played very proactively!"

"With captain Duran Bob being injured for the season, the new captain Gray stood up. He followed Hoffenheim's will and took the lead in scoring a goal for the team!"

"It was a golden goal and it gave Hoffenheim a boost."

As Polly said, this goal made the Hoffenheim players look excited.

The team members rushed over to bury Gray, they were so excited.

After the celebration.

Gray got up and shouted: "Guys, there is nothing to be afraid of. We can still score against Nuremberg!"

"I can score goals, which means you can score goals too!"

Jian, Bialdini and others nodded fiercely.

At the beginning, they were indeed intimidated by the name of the relegated Bundesliga team, but with this goal, the psychological burden was gradually relieved.

They are very, very hungry for goals now!

 …

On the rostrum, Zhang Xian looked at the competition below, smiled and applauded softly.

He said to Dulan Bob who was sitting in a wheelchair beside him, "It seems that your decision is correct."

Duran Bob was also very happy. He looked at the court with piercing eyes and said: "Gray is such a player. Compared with words, he will prove with actions that he has a big heart. Huge energy can explode at any time, just like this goal, this is not just a simple goal, but also brings great encouragement to Hoffenheim!"

Thinking of this, Duran Bob felt a little itchy, and he looked down at his ankle.

Having just finished surgery, Dulan Bob is still in a state of recuperation.

But even after recovery, it is difficult for him to play high-intensity games. The doctor's suggestion is to let him retire.

This made Duran Bob feel quite helpless.

Slightly shaking his head, throwing his messy thoughts behind him, Duran Bob looked at the pitch again; "But Nuremberg will not give up the game like this. Although they have sent a large number of substitutes in this game, on the front line, Their leading shooter, Phoebe Randolph, is still starting."

Hearing this, the expressions of Zhang Xian and Duran Bob also became extremely serious.

A striker at the Bundesliga level, despite being in relegated Nuremberg, he is still very damaging.

How Hoffenheim restricts the opponent is the key. Of course, the greatest probability is that they cannot be restrained.

In 15 minutes, Nuremberg suddenly launched an attack.

They calmly passed the ball to the midfield, and a midfielder from Nuremberg suddenly picked the ball and hit it behind him.

Phoebe Randolph has a lot of experience. He first ran backwards, then suddenly turned and sprinted to complete the anti-offside.

Hoffenheim's Tidal was left behind by him, and he had already had a single-handed chance.

Facing the goalkeeper, Phoebe Randolph calmly pushed and successfully helped Nuremberg equalize the score.

Nuremberg's goal made the Hoffenheim players a little dazed.

But in the next second, they were scolded by a violent loud voice.

"Idiot!! Why don't you run!! The frontcourt is pressed! I told you that the frontcourt is pressed, don't let them pass the ball to the midfield calmly, Ji'an, Bialdini, you all run for me , who dares to be lazy, don't blame me for replacing him!"

Loel Christopher stood on the sidelines, roaring violently.

He was dissatisfied with Hoffenheim's performance after the goal.

The high-position pressing tactics they needed to kick out were not shown at all.

Nuremberg seized the slack after Hoffenheim's goal and scored easily.

This is also the reason why Loel Christopher was furious.

The head coach's anger chilled the Hoffenheim players. They knew that this irascible Italian would really do something like replace the main player.

And on the stage of the German Cup, who wants to be replaced?

For this reason, next, Hoffenheim began to run wildly.

 …

Nuremberg wanted to attack on the right, but was suddenly double-teamed by Kira and the retreating Ji'an, and had to pass the ball.

The ball came to the foot of the front midfielder, and Button and Kira bullied themselves again, forcing the opponent to pass back.

Forced to go down to Nuremberg, the attacking midfielder could only pass back, but Kira didn't even have the slightest intention to stop, and went straight to the opponent's half-court.

Throughout the stadium, Hoffenheim players in black and red striped jerseys were running wildly, grabbing the ball frantically.

Seeing this scene, the head coach of Nuremberg was a little dumbfounded.

He knows that this is a high-position pressing tactic, but what's the matter with your desperate running?

Are you here to play football or track and field?

Hoffenheim's persistent, tenacious, and determined press finally paid off.

Under the frantic pressing pressure, a Nuremberg substitute full-back made a mistake and the ball flew three meters away.

But what's more terrible is that this is the left side!

Hoffenheim's supercar is running at full speed!

Ji An started running at full speed when the opponent made a mistake in stopping the ball.

Before the opponent, he poked the ball out with his toe.

"Jian!! Crazy speed! He's a chasing boy!! Look at how amazing the speed is!!"

On German TV 1, watching the speeding Ji'an, the narrator Polly couldn't help but exclaim again.

In the last game, he had already seen Ji'an's speed. Although he was mentally prepared this time, he was still quite shocked.

This is pure speed, without any fancy tricks, just relying on speed to win.

Simple and scary!

In the stands of Fierzmore, the fans of Hoffenheim also got up slightly, and they stared nervously at Ji'an.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, Ji'an decisively chose to cut in and went straight into the restricted area.

On the other side, Biartini and Wei Rauch have already settled down.

This is the style of play they are most familiar with. When Gian cuts inside, they already know what to do.

Bialdini sits in the middle, and Wei Rauch pulls aside.

Pull away the few defensive players in Nuremberg as much as possible to create shooting angles for teammates.

After Ji'an progressed into the penalty area, he began to adjust in small steps, and the goalkeeper and a defensive player also rushed over.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Ji An suddenly knocked with the back of his foot, and the ball flew rapidly to the middle.

Bialdini has quick eyes and quick feet. He stretched out his right foot and lightly padded the ball directly into the net.

The ball hit the net and trembled wildly.

The Hoffenheim fans have begun to cheer wildly.

"Second!! God! We scored two goals!"

"We scored two goals against the relegated Bundesliga!"

"We are the ones ahead!!"

"Forward! Hoffenheim!!"

"Bialdini! Gian! Well done!"

The fans are boiling.

And on German TV 1, Polly jumped up excitedly.

"Goal!! Goal!! Bialdini, this foreign aid from South Africa successfully scored the second goal for Hoffenheim!"

"They lead again!!"

"The current situation is not good for Nuremberg. Being scored two consecutive goals by Hoffenheim means that there is a big problem in their defense!"

"Their relegation is justified, although it is a substitute, it has already explained a lot of problems."

"And from a tactical point of view, Nuremberg is faintly restrained by Hoffenheim, and now they can only rely on Phoebe Randolph!"
