Chapter 169 Stand Up, Stand Up Again!
The mentality of Wolfsburg fans exploded!
Collectively exhale fragrance in the stands!
Shock was also mixed with unwillingness.
"The ball went in! Shen Feng pierced Wolfsburg's goal again with a cloud-piercing arrow from the penalty area!
This long-range shot was decisive and crisp, but also full of skill. The football shot from the inner instep crossed a rainbow and fell into the dead corner of the goal!
Hoffenheim once again equalized the score!
Crazy game, crazy score.
4:4!
Magath has been dumbfounded. Wolfsburg's performance today is absolutely outstanding, but Hoffenheim also showed awe-inspiring performance.
With two shots and one pass, Shen Feng struggled to pick up the newly promoted team and ensured a chance of winning the championship! "
The hysterical chants of the Hoffenheim fans echoed through the Volkswagen Arena.
"Shen Feng! Shen Feng! Shen Feng!"
Rangnick felt that his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
The heart is too excited, but the expression is depressed, trying to keep calm.
He makes substitutions quickly.
He finally moved.
Obasi was removed and a central defender Jasler was added.
Terbell also replaced Weiss.
He gestured on the sidelines, telling Shen Feng to push forward!
The game has entered injury time.
If Wolfsburg is not reconciled to a strong attack.
Then Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg may compete with each other in an offense and defense.
Wolfsburg penetrated Hoffenheim's defense, and Hoffenheim will hate the Volkswagen Arena.
But if Wolfsburg fails to score, Hoffenheim may turn around and launch a fast break, and there is hope to end Wolfsburg!
Dzeko and Graffit also had extremely depressed expressions when they kicked off, frowning as if their depression was written on their faces.
Leading all the way, was evened at the last moment.
They are still 3 points behind Hoffenheim in the real-time standings.
Misimovich instigates the offensive.
Wolfsburg is somewhat cautious.
The main reason is that Shen Feng's position is absolutely impossible for them to ignore.
Standing at the forefront of the striker line, he may form a cooperation with Demba Ba at any time to penetrate their defense line.
After passing the ball in the frontcourt, Misimovic suddenly accelerated and made a diagonal pass to the right to find Djaga.
Dejaga tried to play a wall with Grafite, but Jankel cleared the ball first.
Wolfsburg immediately turned around and retreated with the whole army.
Demba Ba flew the header near the center circle, but when Shen Feng ran forward, he saw that Demba Ba's header was aimed at Salihovic.
The train of thought is okay, but it's too conventional.
As soon as Salihovic stopped the ball in his chest, he was pushed to the ground by Misimovic who retreated.
The referee stopped the game.
Salihovic got up and wanted to take a free kick quickly.
The ball was kicked out, but the referee blew his whistle to wait for his instructions.
Because he was going to show Misimovic a yellow card.
Salihovic had a look of helplessness and pain on his face.
The Wolfsburg army retreated, and the whole army defended to the death.
Hoffenheim's fast break opportunity is gone.
Turning to a positional battle and advancing forward, Shen Feng retreated to meet him and was dragged back by Djaga.
Without entering the danger zone, it is impossible to directly hit the goal with a free kick.
Shen Feng didn't compete with Salihovic, he went into the penalty area to grab points.
Salihovic's ball into the penalty area was cleared by Simunek's header.
The final whistle blows.
All the fans were lost.
Hoffenheim fans may be in a better mood.
But also worried.
This draw is likely to cause them to lose the top spot!
Shen Feng stopped in his tracks and let out a long sigh.
The resentment in his heart did not show on his face.
Ritter walked up to him, and the two shook hands and hugged.
"You are stronger than I thought, maybe you belong to that kind of star."
Li Te revealed his true feelings, and Shen Feng smiled.
"Maybe next time I meet you, I'll just avoid you."
What he said was not to show weakness, the offensive players themselves had to hide from the defensive players.
Dzeko suddenly also came in front of Shen Feng, wanting to exchange jerseys with Shen Feng.
Although he did not create obvious pressure on Shen Feng in the scorer list, it was still a confrontation between the top strikers in the Bundesliga this season.
Today he staged a hat-trick and Shen Feng scored twice.
Each shines.
Shen Feng glanced at Lite and asked, "Swap jerseys?"
Ritter turned his head and said to Dzeko, "You'd better wait until next time."
Dzeko didn't mind either.
He is young and has a bright future.
As long as he is still determined to forge ahead in European football, the encounter with Shen Feng is indispensable for fighting on the top stage.
Shen Feng took the initiative to take off his jersey and exchange it with Ritter.
Throwing Ritter's jersey over his shoulders, he applauded the visiting fans before exiting the field.
Everyone in the locker room is not in high spirits.
Captain Comper waited for everyone to come back and took the initiative to apologize, saying that the defensive line stretched the hips and dragged down the team's pace of the championship.
The captain put his face on the floor and said these words, and the teammates naturally understood each other and carried forward the team spirit to be tolerant.
Hoffenheim has the top attack group in the Bundesliga in terms of statistics. What about the defense line? Just look at the statistics, which is the mid-range level.
This level means that in the face of the top attack group, they are basically a piece of cake, only depending on the state of the opponent and what posture they use to abuse.
After returning to the locker room, Rangnick did not talk about the performance of the game, but simply encouraged the players, telling them not to put pressure on themselves, and to go back and have a good rest.
When he attended the post-match press conference, the reporters of the German media immediately put sharp questions in front of him.
This tie may lose the top spot, and the championship situation will take a turn for the worse. How do you feel?
Rangnick said calmly: "Hoffenheim has performed very well this season and we still have hope to win the championship.
Wolfsburg's performance is also very good. Since their home draw with Frankfurt in the third round of the league at the end of August last year, they have maintained a complete victory at home in the Bundesliga for nearly eight months!
Hoffenheim are the second team to retire from the Mass Arena this season.
I'm not saying that with a draw we should be complacent and proud.
But objectively speaking, our difficult equalization in this game has been unexpected.
I admit Wolfsburg were better and deserved more, but we were lucky to leave with a draw.
This luck came from the player who performed the best today, Shen Feng.
We are still on the road to the championship, I will not put too much pressure on the team.
We will adjust quickly and work hard to play the remaining 4 rounds of the league. "
What Rangnick said was true.
Wolfsburg is the home dragon this season.
Except for the draw with Frankfurt in the third round and today's draw with Hoffenheim, all other league games have won at home!
If the German media loses the top spot because of Hoffenheim's draw with Wolfsburg, it will make things worse for Hoffenheim.
It must be unfair.
What he said was for the players to hear.
The media will definitely make a big fuss.
But he wants to stabilize the hearts of the people inside.
They cannot be counted on outside support.
The miracle of the newly promoted horse winning the championship is certainly wonderful, but there are many media who don't want them to win the championship.
Frankfurt, Commerzbank-Arena.
When the match between Frankfurt and Dortmund ended, Klopp couldn't hold back his excitement and swung the farmer's three punches.
The Dortmund generals also celebrated wildly after learning the news of the draw between Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg!
After Shen Feng left the team, Dortmund went through six rounds without winning.
The big advantage of the leader was not only squandered, but also kicked off the top of the list.
But after six rounds of invincibility, they have played a strong six-game winning streak so far!
Strong return to the top!
Now they are 1 point ahead of Hoffenheim and 4 points ahead of Wolfsburg!
Stand up, Dortmund stand up again!
Even the German media immediately changed their tone and began to send countless praises to Dortmund.
I think they have rebounded after going through the turmoil, and they have proved themselves with a strong performance!
No one cares what kind of opponents Dortmund faced in their six-round winless round, that is most of the teams at the top of the standings.
Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich, Stuttgart.
And what opponent did they fight in their latest six-game winning streak?
There are mostly teams in the middle and lower reaches of the standings!
The media is deliberately ignoring this.
At least the reversal of the Bundesliga championship has entered the final stage of climax and excitement.
Hoffenheim fell to second place in the standings.
The fans gave them more support instead.
During the mid-week training, the fans entertained themselves outside the training base holding up banners and singing.
Shen Feng felt strange: Don't these people go to work?
Rangnick summarized and reflected on the team's game against Wolfsburg.
Eduardo is not a super capable character.
But it's still important in Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim has experienced two important player injuries this season.
One was that Ibisevic was seriously injured.
The other is Eduardo's injury.
Sometimes it may not be so rare to Eduardo, but you only know how important it is when you lose it.
Or maybe it's because Obasi, who replaced him, was a bit like mud that couldn't support the wall.
It's hard to say how bad Obasi is.
The key is to put it on a team that is going to compete for the championship, and the performance is unsatisfactory.
Magath's Wolfsburg inspired Rangnick.
Grafite, Dzeko, and Misimovic, the iron triangle of offense, can almost be said to be invincible in the fast break.
In the context of four rounds left in the league.
Rangnick made a bold decision.
Give up 433 and change to 4312.
Shen Feng and Demba Ba form a double striker.
Salihovic is behind them.
Three midfielders plus four defenders.
It is not only to strengthen the defense, but also to improve the mobility of the midfield, to allow Shen Feng and Demba Ba to expand their range of activities, and to relieve part of Salihovic's defensive burden.
He wants to play 433, but the problem is that the left wing back is flawed, it is difficult to provide enough support for the winger, and he can only rely on the midfielder.
At the same time, Obasi's squandering opportunities made it difficult for Rangnick to give him more confidence and opportunities.
At the moment of the championship, the result is the big one.
The team actively practiced skills and tactics during the week's preparations.
At this time, the intensity of training has begun to gradually decrease. To avoid injury to players, give more rest time, and strive to be energetic and in good condition in the game is the first priority.
Rangnick's transformation made Shen Feng look at him with admiration.
Never mind right or wrong.
At any rate, he has the courage to change, and he can be seen taking out some things during training.
