Maybe it was because he kept pressing Hoffenheim that Manchester City was a little proud.

The defensive end was a little looser, but Hoffenheim has always been fully focused and dared not relax at all.

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

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

Moreover, the previous consecutive attacks caused their formation to be slightly higher.

Goalkeeper Bauman drove out the ball with big feet and the football flew toward the center circle arc.

The players from both sides headed the ball, and the ball was hit by Hoffenheim's Grilig.

He shook his head and pushed the ball to the left, just as Demirbay was nearby.

Demirbay rushed towards the football and ran while observing.

At this time, David Silva was not far from football, but not as fast as Demirbay.

Demirbay ran to the football first, but he did not choose to dribble and actually passed the ball forward with his feet.

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

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

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

Although Jolinton is not particularly fast, Jolinton is considered to be fast among these three people.

When he saw Demirbay's over-top long pass, Jolinton immediately moved forward.

Manchester City did not pay attention to Jolinton's point as soon as possible because they were not focused enough.

It actually made Jolinton run a single shot when he saw Jolinton running forward.

Akpoguma looked at the lineman and raised his hand.

He signaled that Jolinton would be offside, but the lineman did not respond at all.

Because he saw it very clearly, there was absolutely no offside in this ball.

Manchester City's defense is too loose, and it actually gives Hoffenheim such a good opportunity.

When he saw Jolinton dribbling forward, all his teammates pressed forward.

Jolington was in the center of the right, and soon he dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

Jolinton was not a speed striker after all, and centre-back Kompany soon returned to his position.

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

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

Of course there is no problem with shooting at this time, but passing is undoubtedly a better choice.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice:

"Pass!"

He turned his head and saw that it was Gan Fan. A full-back actually came to the left position outside the penalty area.

So Jolinton passed the ball to the left of the penalty area. His pass was beyond Kompany's expectations. He must have shot directly from Jolinton.

He looked along the football and then suddenly discovered Gan Fan.

Gan Fan did not choose to stop the ball, and he kicked directly towards the rolling football.

You should know that before, whether it was goalkeeper Ederson or Kompany, his attention was on Jolinton.

He didn't pay attention to Gan Fan's position at all, so Gan Fan almost faced a mid-air gate.

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

Hoffenheim leads Manchester City 2-1 again!

"Wow! This ball actually scored! The goal was Gan Fan!" Zhu Xiaoyu explained in shock.

This scene was so amazing that he never expected that the goal would be Gan Fan.

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

So today, in addition to the previous assists, there are few shots of Gan Fan on the offensive end.

But unexpectedly, there was another shot and it was a goal!

"Jolinton is very selfless in this ball. In fact, he can already shoot, but he still chooses to pass another shot."

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

"Although Hoffenheim has been passive before, no one expected that they would score the third goal."

"Gan Fan looks in very good shape today. Not only did he give an assist, but he now scored a goal."

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

After scoring the goal, Gan Fan celebrated excitedly. This goal was so morale-in-one.

All Hoffenheim fans on the sidelines went crazy in an instant, and they cheered and shouted freely.

Hoffenheim's passiveness kept them in silence, and this goal completely released them.

On the other hand, several players from Manchester City surrounded the referee because they believed that Jolinton had offside before.

"Manchester City seems to think that this ball has been offside before. Let's see how the referee will make a penalty." Zhu Xiaoyu commented.

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

However, the referee was very decisive. He believed in the linebacker's judgment and the ball was still included.

This made Manchester City players very dissatisfied. They believed that Jolinton could lead so many positions because Jolinton was offside.

It is worth mentioning that VAR has not been enabled for the Champions League yet.

Soon the screen started playing the slow motion replay before, and it was obvious that when the ball was passed, a player in Manchester City was obviously dragging behind.

So Jolinton was not offside in this ball, but Manchester City was not focused enough.

"It can be seen through slow motion replay that there is no offside in this ball." Zhu Xiaoyu explained with certainty.

"The referee's penalty is not a problem, and this goal is absolutely valid."

The fans who watched the live broadcast could see it, but the fans and Manchester City players on the scene did not know.

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

So Manchester City fans booed at the scene, and the mood of several Manchester City players was obviously incorrect.

Cai Jian, who was watching the game on the sidelines, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the ball counting.

Today, both sides have his players, so he is not sure who to support.

But he was still very happy to see Gan Fan score.

In fact, in Hoffenheim today, in addition to Gan Fan, there is another Chinese player, who is right-back Shu Changyuan.

But today his performance is obviously not as good as Gan Fan, but his ability and potential are higher than Gan Fan.

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

Sure enough, players cannot simply look at their abilities, and sometimes other aspects are very important.

He has always been the absolute main player of Hoffenheim before and has a very strong say in the team.

This made him feel more responsible, and this is exactly what Shu Changyuan lacks at present.

Moreover, he became important in tactics in the previous two seasons, and these factors have created Gan Fan now.
