Chapter Four Hundred and Thirtieth Meritorious Deeds Again

It may be that Manchester City is also a little proud because they have been pressing Hoffenheim.

The defensive end was a little loose, but Hoffenheim has always been concentrating and dare not relax in the slightest.

When the time came to the 39th minute, Manchester City's offense failed to complete.

Hoffenheim won the goal kick, and Manchester City's attention was not very focused at this time.

Moreover, the previous successive attacks caused their formation to be slightly forward.

Goalkeeper Bowman kicked the goal kick, and the football flew near the arc of the middle circle.

Players from both sides competed for the header, and the ball was headed by Hoffenheim's Grilic.

He flicked the football to the left, just as Demirbay was nearby.

Demirbay rushed towards the football, watching as he ran.

David Silva is not too far away from football at this time, but he is not as fast as Demirbay.

Demirbay ran towards the football first, but he didn't choose to dribble, and he passed the ball directly with his big foot.

Because he saw the position of his teammates in front of him, he noticed that Joelinton, who was in the middle, was in a good position.

Today Hoffenheim said it is a 5-4-1 formation, but it can also be said to be a 5-2-3 formation.

Because the two wingers are actually forwards, and they are both tall and big.

Although Joelinton's speed is not particularly fast, among these three people, Joelinton is considered to be the fastest.

After seeing Demirbay's long pass over the top, Joe Linton immediately moved forward.

Manchester City did not notice Joelinton at the first time because of lack of concentration.

It really made Joe Linton run a single-handed ball, when he saw Joe Linton running forward.

Akpo Guma looked at the linesman and raised his hand at the same time.

He signaled to Joelinton that the ball was offside, but the linesman didn't respond at all.

Because he could see clearly that the ball was definitely not offside.

Manchester City's defense is too loose.

Even gave Hoffenheim such a good opportunity.

When they saw Joelinton dribbling forward, all his teammates pressed forward.

Joe Linton is in the right center, and soon he dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

After all, Joe Linton is not a speed forward, and the central defender Kompany quickly returned to his position.

Kompany was stuck between Joelinton and the goal, and Joelinton's position at this time was not very good.

After he broke into the penalty area, he was on the right side of the penalty area, so the angle of the shot was relatively small.

At this time, hitting the goal is of course no problem, but passing the ball is undoubtedly a better choice.

At this moment he suddenly heard a voice:

"Pass the ball!"

He turned his head and saw that it was Gan Fan, and a full-back came to the top left of the arc outside the penalty area.

So Joelinton passed the football to the left side of the penalty area. His pass was beyond Kompany's expectations. He had thought that Joelinton's ball must have hit the goal directly.

He looked along the football, and suddenly found Gan Fan.

Gan Fan didn't choose to stop the ball, he kicked directly towards the rolling football.

You must know that whether it was goalkeeper Ederson or Kompany, the attention was on Joelinton.

He didn't pay attention to Gan Fan's position at all, so Gan Fan was almost facing a half-empty door.

Although Edson tried hard to save, it was too late.

Hoffenheim once again leads Manchester City 2-1!

"Wow! This goal actually scored! It was Gan Fan who scored the goal!" Zhu Xiaoyu explained in shock.

This scene was amazing, he never thought that Gan Fan would score the goal.

Because Gan Fan spends more time on defense today, after all, Lu Yunlong is too strong at this point.

So today on the offensive end, apart from the previous assists, there are very few shots of Gan Fan.

But I didn't expect that another shot would be a goal!

"Joe Linton was very selfless with this ball. In fact, he was already able to hit the goal, but he still chose to pass another kick."

"And this pass completely made the opponent desperate. Gan Fan hit the goal directly after receiving the ball."

"Although Hoffenheim had been passive before, no one thought that they scored the third goal."

"Gan Fan looks very good today. Not only did he send out an assist, but now he even scored a goal."

"With Gan Fan's goal, the score came to 2-1, and Hoffenheim once again led Manchester City."

After scoring the goal, Gan Fan celebrated excitedly. This goal boosted morale too much.

All the Hoffenheim fans on the sidelines went crazy instantly, they cheered wantonly.

The passivity of Hoffenheim before kept them quiet, but this goal completely released them.

On the other hand, several Manchester City players surrounded the referee because they believed that Joe Linton was offside before.

"Manchester City seems to think that the ball was offside before, let's see how the referee makes the penalty." Zhu Xiaoyu explained.

Seeing Manchester City surround the referee, several Hoffenheim players also stepped forward.

However, the referee was very decisive. He believed in the judgment of the linesman and the ball still counted.

This made the Manchester City players very dissatisfied. They thought that Joe Linton could lead so many positions because Joe Linton was already offside.

It is worth mentioning that VAR has not yet been used in the Champions League.

Soon the slow-motion playback before the screen began to play, it can be clearly seen that at the moment of passing the ball, a Manchester City player was obviously dragged behind.

So Joelinton really wasn't offside with the ball, it's just that Manchester City didn't pay enough attention.

"It can be seen from the slow-motion playback that the ball is not offside." Zhu Xiaoyu explained with certainty.

"There is no problem with the referee's penalty. This goal is absolutely valid."

The fans watching the live broadcast can see it, but the fans and Manchester City players who live don't know it.

They still think the ball is offside, and the referee made a misjudgment.

So the Manchester City fans booed at the scene, and the emotions of several Manchester City players were obviously not right.

Cai Jian, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the goal scored.

Today, both sides have players under his flag, so he is not sure who to pay attention to support for a while.

But he was very happy to see Gan Fan scoring a goal.

In fact, for Hoffenheim today, besides Gan Fan, there is another Chinese player, and he is the right back Shu Changyuan.

But today his performance is obviously not as good as Gan Fan, but in terms of ability and potential, he is higher than Gan Fan.

However, his role on the court is indeed not as good as Gan Fan.

Sure enough, players can't just look at ability, sometimes other aspects are also very important.

He has always been the absolute main force of Hoffenheim before, and he has a great say in the team.

It makes him more responsible, which is what the current Seo Chang-won is lacking.

Moreover, in the previous two seasons, he gained importance in tactics. These factors have created the current Gan Fan.
