Chapter 66
There is already a hustle and bustle in the Turin home stadium.
Huge boos ran through the entire stadium, and the boos of this scale made the Hoffenheim players feel a little bit of pressure.
They even felt that the field was shaking.
"Shit! Did these guys take any health supplements? Hush so hard."
Ranier rubbed her arm to get the goosebumps off.
But despite this, the pressure deep inside always exists.
As a team without any experience in the Champions League, most people in Hoffenheim are unfamiliar with the Champions League.
This is especially true for newcomers like Leo, Ranier, and Habr who have only been in the professional league for a few years.
Habr also looked at the opposite side, and they could see that the expressions of the players on the Turin side were much more relaxed.
He didn't know if these people were used to the pressure, or if they really felt irrelevant.
Anyway, Harble couldn't keep calm like they did.
Huber also forced himself to laugh, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth seemed to be dead, and he could only draw an ugly arc, unable to laugh at all.
The palm was shaking from time to time, and I couldn't help pinching it tightly, which was the key.
Although they have experienced the Europa League final, it has to be said that the Champions League and the Europa League are completely different things.
It is impossible to meet a team like Turin so early in the Europa League.
Every game is the same as the final, so the pressure goes without saying.
Moreover, this is the group stage, and the pressure will be even greater in the elimination round.
One team must be eliminated in two games.
No one wants to be knocked out of the Champions League and they will give everything for it.
At that time, the away pressure will be even greater.
"Don't think too much, just think of these fans as carrots." Ravens came over to comfort.
Hubbard tried to think of the other party as a carrot, but his imagination was not that rich,
No matter how you look at it, it is a person, and how you hear it is noise, which cannot be ignored at all.
On the other hand, Ranie closed her eyes slightly, opened them again, and suddenly let out a sigh: "Huh? It's really useful!"
Hubbard: "..."
On the other side, Ibstruij, who was standing in the middle circle, was also looking at the opposite side.
He doesn't feel nervous like these rookies. He has no shortage of Champions League honors in his career. He has won this trophy when he served in Serie A at San Siro Milan. have experience in this area.
However, this game is really important to him.
Ibstruj is 37 years old. This age has already reached the time to retire, but he still maintains a good competitive state, which is why he can stay in Hoffenheim.
But now, the management is no longer satisfied with their own ambitions, and has begun to contact Roquel frequently.
He admitted that Roquel was a good player.
But the problem is that Roquel's arrival will take his place.
This is unacceptable to Ibstruij.
Many people are saying that their era is over, but he still wants to tell those people that although that era is over, the Swedish king is still active in the game.
Despite reaching the age of retirement, he can still overwhelm these young talents.
And this game, he will prove it all.
The scene slowly quieted down.
The boos and cheers faded away.
All eyes are on the field.
After seeing the referee shake his head left and right to confirm the goalkeepers of both sides, they exited the center circle.
Immediately, the sharp whistle sounded.
The fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2019/2020 season officially begins!
Ibstruy directly passed the ball back, and Ranier continued to pass back after receiving the ball.
The ball came to Hable's feet, but Hable also chose to pass back.
He wants to stretch the front of Turin.
Sure enough, Torino played a lot more unrestrainedly at home and rushed over directly.
Tidal saw someone rushing towards the strong team and passed the ball to the right-wing full-back Ross Griman.
Ross Griman did not pass the ball in a hurry, but took a few steps forward to test it.
Sure enough, the opponent's midfielder began to encircle the right side, wanting to intercept and press.
In this regard, Ross Griman did not stick the ball at all and passed it directly to Habr, allowing the core to drive the rhythm.
"They're pressing forward!"
Ross Griman yelled in German.
But Harble's feedback did not come, but a translator's voice came from the opposite side.
"He said, we press forward and be careful behind."
Ross Griman was speechless. He looked intently and happened to see Colin, a German player.
After Habr took the ball, he started a small-scale pass.
The ball began to pass back and forth in the middle circle, and the speed and frequency were extremely fast.
This caused the players in Turin to run blindly, while secretly cursing in their hearts.
Do it again!
Turin actually hates Hoffenheim and Barcelona's passing teams.
Their defensive density is very high and they put a lot of power into the defense.
But it can't stand the passing wear and tear of these two teams.
Different from the open and close tactics of the Premier League teams, facing a team like Hoffenheim, you need to be careful, careful, and careful.
A careless, maybe the opponent will take advantage of the loophole and send a through ball.
As soon as I thought of this, Hoffenheim's through ball came.
After being dragged back and forth a few times, Habr suddenly ran forward, facing Ranier's return pass, and sent the ball directly between the two Turin players.
The ball pierced Turin's defense like a knife, and the Turin players looked shocked for a while.
However, central defender Manny reacted quickly. The astute Portuguese seemed to have sensed all this in advance. Suddenly, he retreated and appeared in the path of the through ball, and stretched out his foot to intercept the ball.
After passing the ball back to the goalkeeper, Ibstrui stopped chasing it. The distance was too far and it was unnecessary.
And Manny also started to shout forward: "Steady! This is our home field, let us defend, we must play offense!"
yes!
Attack is the key!
In the last game, a large part of the reason why they lost was that they only played defense without investing too much power on the offensive end.
As the saying goes, if you hold on for a long time, you will lose.
It's true that Torino is good at defense, but you must attack if you want to win!
The Turin goalkeeper kicked the ball wide and sent the ball to the midfield.
Ranier and Kavito came to the spot to compete.
But Kavito played a trick. He didn't take the lead in taking off, but waited for Ranier to take off, and then bumped into the opponent lightly.
When Ranier was unstable in the air, he served first and then headed back to send the ball to Roquel on the wing.
Roquel has the ball in a particularly comfortable area, which allows him to give full play to his strengths.
He still remembers that this game is very critical, and he wants to give Hoffenheim a vote.
His performance in this game is directly linked to his future treatment!
Thinking of this, Roquel started directly, and after changing directions continuously past Piani, he chose to cut inside and enter the penalty area.
