Chapter 425 Hoffenheim's Advantage

Chapter 425 Hoffenheim's Advantage

Lensing's approach can be said to be extremely bold.

Long Bisheng had already made a tackle first, and then he flew to the ground to save the ball. Long Bisheng directly kicked him away. The referee gave Long Bisheng a yellow card at most, saying that his action was too dangerous, and it cannot be said that Long Bisheng did it on purpose. The reason for the face.

Long Bisheng, who was shoveling on the ground, could only raise his feet as high as possible so as not to kick him directly in the face. With his weight and sprinting speed, kicking Ren Xin in the face this time would not be an ordinary injury and disfigurement. The lightest would be a concussion.

Although Long Bisheng lifted his foot in time, Lensing avoided being kicked in the face by sneakers with spikes, but a spike still wiped Lensing's forehead, and immediately opened a hole in Lensing's forehead, and blood gushed out of the wound immediately, flowing on his face in an instant.

The referee's whistle blew, and Long Bisheng didn't have time to care about other things, so he hurriedly got up to check Lensing's situation. Bud Stubel, who came up behind him, pushed him away angrily, and then leaned over to ask Lensing if there was anything wrong.

Lensing covered his forehead and said to Budstuber: "It's none of his business, he has taken the initiative to avoid it, I should thank him."

Budstuber froze for a moment, then looked back at Long Bisheng, who was standing at a loss, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

He believed that Lensing's judgment was correct, and he saw it clearly from behind just now. With the speed and impact of Long Bisheng's flying shovel, if he really kicked Lensing in the face, then Lensing would not be able to solve the problem of getting injured in this game.

Bayern's team doctors rushed over, helped Lensing out of the baseline and began to treat the wound. Long Bisheng stood beside him, just staring blankly at the team doctor bandaging Lensing, without saying a word of excuse. Although he was sorry, he had a clear conscience.

The other Bayern defenders looked at him with extremely unfriendly eyes at the beginning. Budstuber played a role at this time, explaining to his teammates the fact that Long Bisheng had tried his best to avoid it. Demichelis, who was about to settle accounts with Long Bisheng, also stopped, waited for a while before walking up, and patted Long Bisheng on the shoulder: "Just now... thank you."

Long Bisheng looked back at him and shook his head: "I don't want such a result."

"Fortunately, the wound doesn't look serious." Demichelis smiled, then turned and left.

At this time, the slow motion was played on TV, and even the commentator gasped. The German TV commentator said: "My God, it's fortunate that the dragon raised his feet... Otherwise, maybe Rensing would have been a disfigured and concussed goalkeeper at this time..."

The Bayern fans who were yelling in front of the TV also stopped their yelling. The slow motion was clear. Long Bisheng obviously made a move to avoid Lensing. It was only because the time was too short that he couldn't dodge completely.

Bayern's team doctors quickly treated Lensing's injury, and their staff also brought Lensing a new jersey. Lensing, who had bandaged his forehead, replaced the blood-stained jersey and ran into the stadium again.

Long Bisheng, who had been waiting there all this time, walked towards Len Xin. Len Xin smiled, and before Long Bisheng could say anything, he gave him a big hug and patted him on the back.

"Thank you, Long, but I will save your shot later." Ren Xin said in Long Bisheng's ear.

Long Bisheng let go, smiled at Lensing, then turned around and ran back. There was warm applause from the stands, Hoffenheim and Bayern fans were all applauding collectively.

"The players on both sides are very athletic! Long Bisheng tried his best to avoid a tragedy, and Lensing also took the initiative to thank Long Bisheng! Although the two sides competed fiercely on the court and their desire for the league championship was extremely hot, they did not lose their minds!"

After this tidbit passed, the tense atmosphere on the field was diluted a lot, and the first half was about to end. After the rhythm slowed down, the first half ended after 4 minutes of stoppage time. Hoffenheim led Bayern [-]-[-] and entered the intermission.

**************************************************

As soon as he entered the locker room, Li Jie put his arms around Long Bisheng's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Aaron, are you not affected by what happened just now?"

Of course, Long Bisheng knew what he was talking about. He really felt guilty at the beginning, but he was relieved when he saw that Lensing was fine—after all, he had tried his best to avoid an accident—he shook his head and replied, "No, I did hurt him, but if I didn't try my best to avoid it, maybe he would be hurt worse."

"It's right to think so!" Li Jie felt relieved, and happily patted Long Bisheng's shoulder: "There's no way you can play football without getting hurt! As long as you don't look like some garbage or aim at hurting people, that's enough! Accidents are always inevitable, the main thing is to be able to have a clear conscience!"

Li Jie is also an extremely fierce central defender in the Bundesliga. It is normal to shovel and injure several people every year, but no player has ever rested for more than a month because of his serious injury. This at least proves that Li Jie is still very measured when playing football. Of course he is qualified to say so.

Rangnick coughed: "Since the dragons were not affected, it would be great. This is just a tidbit in the first half... I am very happy that we took the lead in the first half and did not lose the game. But don't forget, we encountered a lot of dangers in the first half. If it wasn't for Tim's outstanding performance, we might have been equalized by them... So in the second half, we must pay attention to defense and strengthen our offense. Facing opponents like Bayern, leading by one goal is far from enough."

After listening to his words, the Hoffenheim players who were still a little flustered because they were able to lead their opponents immediately woke up.

It's not that Rangnick's prestige is so high, but because most of Hoffenheim's players have spent the four Bundesliga seasons with Hoffenheim, and they have experienced eight wins against Bayern. !

People will always grow from lessons. Hoffenheim has learned enough lessons in the previous seasons, and these lessons have become their precious wealth in this game. Always remind them that victory is not considered to have come before the final whistle.

Remind the players that Rangnick is going to give a sweet date to eat next, otherwise what to do if the morale of the players drops: "We did a good job in the first half and took the lead. At the same time, we also consumed enough physical energy for Bayern, which gave us a certain advantage in the second half...Bayern will definitely launch a counterattack in the second half, because they cannot accept a draw. The full-backs will definitely strengthen their offense, especially Lahm on the left. In the first half, he didn’t provide many assists, probably because he was afraid of Marco’s (Marin’s) speed and breakthrough, so in the second half, Marco, you put me on the right and don’t switch to the left. If you can suppress Lahm’s assists, then their most threatening side will be reduced by half.”

Marin nodded. In the first half, he made a lot of breakthroughs. The only trouble was Ram, because Robben's defensive ability was really nothing, not to mention that Robben often moved to the right to attack. He always had to face Ram alone.

"Our two forwards have height and header advantages over their two central defenders, so the offense doesn't need to be too cumbersome. If you can make a long pass, just pass it long. Don't waste the opportunity of the fast break, seize the opportunity of their heavy pressure, and then..." Rangnick made a downward movement: "A fatal blow!"

Long Bisheng, Ibisevic and Marin nodded at the same time. If Hoffenheim adopts a fast break in the second half, then the three of them will be the most important link. One of Long Bisheng or Ibisevic must be accurate or head the ball, or split the side after stopping, and pass the ball to the fastest Marin at the first time. assists.

The advantage of a one-goal lead is a real advantage, and the advantage of a two-point lead in points is also a real advantage. The two-point advantage means that Bayern must win the game, and the one-goal lead forces Bayern to play in the second half. Rangnick took advantage of the situation and relied on these two points alone. He was able to guess Van Gaal's reaction almost exactly.

Van Gaal is also quite tragic. He clearly knew that Rangnick already knew what he would do, and he had to do it according to the opponent's assumptions, because if he didn't do this, his team would die even worse. 45 minutes can be long or short. If they don't seize the opportunity to attack, maybe they won't have time to attack even if they want to attack.
