Chapter 431: Equalize Again
The first half ended like this, and surprisingly, the leading side turned out to be Hoffenheim.
Currently Hoffenheim leads Manchester City 2-1.
This score was beyond everyone's expectations, and Hoffenheim fans probably didn't expect it.
After all, their opponents are powerful Manchester City, and they have been suppressed by Manchester City before.
Of course, Gan Fan was the best performer. He not only scored a goal but also gave an assist.
The players on both sides returned to their respective locker rooms, and the Hoffenheim players were very happy.
On the other hand, Manchester City players are relatively low.
After returning to the locker room, Manchester City's head coach Guardiola was very angry.
The main thing is the second goal, and all the goals lost in that goal is mainly because the team's defensive focus is not focused.
It actually gave Hoffenheim's forward such a good opportunity. You should know that Jolinton is not a speed striker.
But it still allowed him to run out of such a large space, which shows how big the problem is in Manchester City's defense.
Then he began to set up the tactics for the second half. As for Hoffenheim's head coach Nagelsmann, his tactics were also very clear, to strengthen the defense.
With Hoffenheim's overall strength at present, it is basically impossible to attack Manchester City. Since this is the case, it is better to strengthen the defense.
The halftime break ended soon, and the two teams changed sides and fought again.
After the second half of the game started, something unexpected happened to Cai Jian. The first shot in the second half was Hoffenheim.
This attack was initiated by Manchester City, and Sterling wanted to break through with the ball from the left side outside the penalty area.
However, Shu Changyuan, who was facing the ball, stretched his legs and actually touched the football. After successfully preventing Sterling's breakthrough, Shu Changyuan chased the football.
Then he drove the ball forward and pushed it at full speed. Shu Changyuan's speed was not slow, but soon some players posted it on.
So Shu Changyuan had no choice but to pass the ball, and he passed the ball to Demirbay who was receiving it.
After passing the ball, he saw the speed first, and then continued to run forward at full speed.
His subtraction and one plus successfully tricked the defensive players, and Demirbay also realized Shu Changyuan's intentions.
The football was stuffed towards Shu Changyuan, and the two of them successfully made the defensive players apart.
Shu Changyuan quickly dribbled the ball through halftime, but Manchester City players' defense became much more stable after Guardiola's accusations.
In addition to the previous two-pass and one cooperation, the players behind were more careful about Shu Changyuan.
So another player came towards him to defend, but Shu Changyuan picked the ball to the left.
It turned out that he found the position of his teammate Jolinton, and he was looking for this ball.
Because all the attention is on Shu Changyuan, Jolinton's catch is very smooth.
Soon Jolinton broke into the right side of the penalty area, and then he passed the ball in the back triangle.
Sholoy appeared near the penalty spot and shot with a push shot towards the football rolling over.
He has already scored a goal today, the goal he scored at the beginning of the game.
But this time his luck was not that good, although Hoffenheim cooperated well this time on the offense.
However, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has been paying attention. When he saw Sauloy shoot, Ederson instantly made a save.
He actually managed to dive into the football and threw it out.
Then the defender came up and decisively cleared the ball, successfully blocking Hoffenheim's attack.
It has to be said that Hoffenheim's head coach Nagelsman is indeed capable, and the team with such configuration is actually led by him to this extent.
Although Manchester City basically controls the rhythm of the game, Hoffenheim's several attacks are very threatening.
The head coach must have great achievements here, especially the use of two Chinese full-backs.
They played their advantages well, and both goals were related to full-backs.
The game continued, and before I knew it, half of the second half had passed.
In the 71st minute, Manchester City launched another attack.
Manchester City passed continuously on the left, hoping to find it and continue to send it forward.
Suddenly, a pass was passed to Sterling, who knew that there was a defensive player behind him.
So he did not stop the ball and turn around, but chose to do it back.
After receiving the ball, Gundogan took the forward hand, while Sterling suddenly turned around and ran forward without the ball.
After taking two steps, Gundogan stuffed the ball towards Sterling.
This straight pass shot was very large in advance, giving Sterling plenty of acceleration time.
Sterling raised his speed to the fastest and then successfully chased football.
Although Shu Changyuan was always interfering with him, he still dribbled the ball to the left outside the penalty area.
Suddenly Sterling stopped suddenly and then hugged the football with his left foot.
The football actually crawled through Shu Changyuan's crotch, and Sterling changed direction after a sudden stop and broke into the penalty area.
Although Sterling is not as good as Lu Yunlong at Manchester City, he is still an excellent winger.
If it weren't for Lu Yunlong, he would be an important player in any Premier League team.
His personal abilities are still outstanding, and Shu Changyuan is a little worse.
In desperation, the central defender Akpoguma had to make up for defense, and Sterling chose to cross it when he saw this.
Now his position is quite awkward, and the angle of the shooting is too small.
I wanted to pass the ball inverted triangle, but my teammates didn't keep up.
The football flew to the back point, and Lu Yunlong was at the back point at this time.
When they saw Lu Yunlong, many fans had regrets when they saw the header.
Because in their minds, Lu Yunlong's heading ability is average.
Heading is indeed not Lu Yunlong’s best attacking method, but this does not mean that he has no heading.
Maybe it's because he's too fast and is also a winger.
This has led to everyone's neglecting that Lu Yunlong is actually 1.80 meters tall.
He actually has the ability to head, but his heading ability is covered up by other abilities.
Although Lu Yunlong was stuck behind by Hogma, Lu Yunlong still jumped up with all his strength.
And because of Lu Yunlong's jump behind him, Hogma was unable to exert all his strength.
Under such circumstances, Lu Yunlong actually hit the football.
I thought Sterling's wonderful breakthrough before, goalkeeper Bauman was on the left side in terms of attention and position.
After seeing Sterling's cross, he ran backwards.
So at this time, Bauman's position was actually very average. Although the football pushed out by Lu Yunlong was not fast.
But fortunately, goalkeeper Bauman quickly flew to save.
But he was powerless and could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding.
Manchester City tied the score again 2-2!
The goal is still Lu Yunlong, who has now scored twice.
When he saw Lu Yunlong equalizing the score again, Hoffenheim fans at the scene calmed down.
