Chapter 123 Short Board
"Ah!! This is the worst start ever!!"
In the first 5 minutes of the game, Liverpool scored a goal.
A very beautiful, impeccable defensive counterattack.
A long pass initiated by Lesco directly promoted the entire Liverpool's offensive context.
Jim catches the ball to the bottom and Valia heads it into the net.
The whole process was clean and neat, which caught Hoffenheim fans by surprise.
Just 5 minutes into the game, Hoffenheim fell behind.
This is something no one has ever thought of.
Some Hoffenheim fans couldn't believe that this scene suddenly appeared without sitting still.
The entire dome stadium lost its voice.
The fans looked at the goal blankly. They watched the goalkeeper Fukuoka Yuta fish out the ball from the net with a look of displeasure, and then they realized that they were already behind.
This is not too bad for Hoffenheim.
"Hoffenheim is too careless!!"
The German commentator said sadly: "Usoka's playing style is very conservative, yes, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know how to be flexible. Many games have proved that this guy is not as old-fashioned as he looks. Just like this counterattack strategy at the beginning , he gave us a big 'surprise' when everyone thought Liverpool were going to shrink back."
"We need to admit now that Hoffenheim are behind! Two goals behind on aggregate."
Liverpool players were running and celebrating.
Valia even rushed to the Koch stands and put his hands to his ears, making a mocking gesture.
Let you shout, you continue to shout!
The faces of the Hoffenheim fans were livid, but they could not refute that the goal was indeed impeccable.
The expressions of the players are even more so.
They got into the game too slowly, or, at the beginning, they played too loosely.
"Shit!"
Piani got up from the ground,
He patted the lawn angrily.
It's my side again.
This is not the first time.
It doesn't take much effort for Jim to break through him, and the defense is useless, which makes Piani feel very self-blame.
Perhaps Piani's offensive ability is good, but on the defensive level, he is still in an imperfect state.
A full-back who can't defend, what a thing.
Tydal's expression was also extremely solemn.
His eyes were fixed on Liverpool center Valia. At that moment, he lost.
He also took off to compete for the top, but he was at a disadvantage in physical confrontation.
It wasn't that his body wasn't strong enough, but that Valia bumped him lightly when he was jumping.
This caused Tidal to lose his center of gravity in the air, so he failed to defend well.
This kind of mistake made Tidal feel very self-blame.
Goalkeeper Yuta Fukuoka was even more so, as the last bar for Hoffenheim, his unsuccessful save put the team in a difficult situation, which was something he didn't want to see.
"Hoffenheim's defense!"
The German commentator said helplessly: "In fact, the controversy over Hoffenheim's defense has always existed. No matter how luxurious their offensive lineup is, they have such a poor defense."
"Tidal's ability is no longer enough to support the entire defense line. Although Rodim is good, but without system bonuses, he can only fight alone. Ross Griman and Piani are too focused on offense, and Ignoring the defense, it's like..."
The German commentator swallowed the word'shit' back.
At this time, he was also extremely angry.
This is not the first time.
Hoffenheim's defensive problems have been ridiculed more than once, but Steven has always been very strong offensive line, ignoring the importance of defense.
This is a wrong concept.
A strong team has no shortcomings.
Although Hoffenheim's offensive ability is very strong, their shortcomings are also obvious.
Once countered by the opponent, Hoffenheim will play very hard.
Just like the situation at this time.
After falling behind, Hoffenheim once again started to attack as frantically as before, intending to use offense to cover up shortcomings.
However, Liverpool boosted morale through offense, defended steadily, and counterattacked extremely sharply.
This made Hoffenheim play extremely chaotically like a headless chicken.
Fans are in a hurry!
The players are equally anxious.
Even Steven at the coach's bench stood up, obviously not at peace.
In the vip viewing booth, Zhang Xian also watched the game with a frown.
He looked at Hoffenheim's chaotic play below, frowning deeply.
Even a layman like him can see how bad Hoffenheim is playing now.
Especially on the defensive end, it is simply unsightly.
In the league, these problems have not yet erupted, but in the high-intensity confrontation of the Champions League, the shortcomings have been completely exposed.
Beside Zhang Xian, Koch also had an extremely dignified expression.
He shook his head and sighed, obviously extremely disappointed with Hoffenheim's defense.
Not long after, Zhang Xian asked suddenly; "Is our defense really bad?"
The meritorious coach Koch sighed; "If you want to hear the truth, then my answer is 'yes'!"
Zhang Xian frowned and said, "Then why don't you rebuild a defense line?"
"Not enough time, not enough money, not enough resources!"
Koch directly revealed three factors, and immediately said; "The lack of time is because Steven's system is not complete, the lack of funds is because he still needs some people in other positions, and he has not yet estimated the defense line, and the lack of resources is because There aren't many good centre-backs coming into the market!"
Koch understands that this system requires the ability to hold the ball, and there are only a handful of central defenders who have the ability to hold the ball and have excellent defensive capabilities.
And in order to maximize Hoffenheim's offense, both full-backs are serving the offense.
This requires the central defender to take on more defensive tasks.
In the current football world, there are still one or two who meet the requirements, but which club of these players does not treat them as treasures, how could they flow into the transfer market.
As for giving up a certain amount of offense, the full-back is responsible for the defense.
Koch felt that it was even more inadvisable. Now that he had reached this point, there was only one way to go to the dark.
If Ross Griman and Piani are forcibly transformed, these two people are likely to be abolished, and the gain outweighs the loss!
Hoffenheim's shortcomings need to be resolved, but this cannot be resolved in the short term.
After hearing this, Zhang Xian also fell silent.
As Koch said, these problems cannot be solved for the time being.
Apart from other things, it will take a certain amount of time just for the funds.
For Roquel, Hoffenheim has spent too much money and is temporarily unable to bring in other players.
This turnaround time will take at least one year.
At this time, Hoffenheim can only rely on this lineup to play the game.
But this backline is really...
Zhang Xian rubbed his chin to think of a way.
A way to find good players without spending money.
Finally, Zhang Xian thought of "Taobao expert" Sansuke Inoue.
