Chapter 427

"Marin single-handedly... Pushed! The goal is scored! Two to zero! Our victory is in sight!"

Following the yelling of the on-site commentator, the Hoffenheim fans in the stands collectively raised their hands high, and unconscious shouts flew out of their throats-what does this goal mean?It means that they have already led by two goals. Unless Bayern can score three goals at the last moment, it is inevitable for Hoffenheim to win the league championship!

Dodged the opponent to equalize the score in a stalemate situation, and then expanded the score through a quick counterattack-this kind of psychological blow is simply devastating to the lagging side!Seeing that they were about to equalize, they immediately faced a bigger crisis!

What's more, this goal happened after Van Gaal sent Klose to strengthen the offense!

Lannick couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart anymore, he rushed out of the coach's bench and started to celebrate on the sidelines!

After waiting for the Hoffenheim players on the field to celebrate and return to their own half to start the game again, Rangnick returned to the coach's bench and hugged the assistant coaches one by one, even the substitute players.

"We are going to be champions!" He said to everyone, emphatically saying, yes, there are still about 10 minutes before the end of the game. With Hoffenheim's current state, it is impossible for Bayern to recover the score!

Van Gaal was not excited at this time, and he sat back on the coaching bench. At this time, he chose to believe in his players, and chose to believe in these players who had won two consecutive league championships in the Bundesliga.

Half an hour is actually not short, and the disadvantage of being behind by two goals is not particularly difficult to chase.For a team like Hoffenheim that has never won a league championship, the closer they are to the championship, the more likely their mentality will be affected by the mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

In this regard, Bayern does not have this problem. Losing this championship is just a loss of honor for Bayern players. Most of them still have a chance to win the championship in the future. At this time, their mentality is more stable than that of Hoffenheim.

Van Gaal firmly believes that as long as Bayern can score a goal in the next game, the pressure will return to the Hoffenheim players. They will worry about losing the victory and championship they have won.

Although Schalke [-] has locked the qualification for the Europa League, it can be regarded as wanting nothing, but there is an old grudge between them and Hoffenheim. It was Hoffenheim who defeated them in the German Cup final last season, which made Schalke [-] miss the European competition this season!

Van Gaal was waiting, waiting for the turnaround he expected to appear.

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

After leading by two goals, Hoffenheim began to shrink their defense. In fact, they had been using defensive counterattacks and midfield presses to deal with Bayern's offense since the start of the second half.

Leading by two goals is not the same as leading by one goal. When leading by one goal, you have to consider counterattacks. After all, an accident on the football field may lead to loss of points. After leading by two goals, it’s okay to be conservative!

Even Long Bisheng and Ibisevic returned to the front of the penalty area to help defend, leaving only Marin, who was the fastest, ready to counterattack at any time in the frontcourt—just like the goal just now, Marin did not return to defense when other players returned to defend the free kick, and this was the crucial second goal!

Bayern also went all out, except that Ram, who was the fastest in the defense line, was defending Marin, and even Budstuber and Demichelis also rushed to attack.

Klose's playing liberated Gomez, which increased Bayern's midfield organizers to two. With the addition of Schweinsteiger, who was plugged in at any time, Hoffenheim's midfielder was a bit overwhelmed.

Van der Vaart managed to get past Weiss with great difficulty, and Long Bisheng immediately appeared in front of him. Seeing a mountain-like Long Bisheng lying in front of him, Van der Vaart smiled wryly in his heart—even if this guy was motionless, it would take some effort to shake him...

Gomez came to meet him from the side, Van der Vaart immediately gave him the ball, Long Bisheng turned around and pounced on Gomez, Gomez controlled the ball at his feet, as if he wanted to wait for Long Bisheng to come up.

Seeing that Long Bisheng had already stabbed at his feet, this action was not surprising, but Long Bisheng stabbed very resolutely, as long as the opponent hesitated, he might directly destroy the ball.

Gomez didn't hesitate. At the age of 27, he was in his prime. He didn't move his upper body, and with a quick swipe of his feet, he dodged Long Bisheng's outstretched feet, and then dodged past him.

Gomez is also a big man at 1.8 meters [-]. With two swings of his long legs, Long Bisheng has already swayed away. Long Bisheng turned around and planned to foul, but seeing that this is already near the top of the restricted area, he hesitated.

Gustavo rushed over from the side, Gomez didn't bother him too much, and passed the ball directly to Klose who pulled out of the penalty area, and then accelerated to rush up.

Klose stopped the ball, then turned and went straight!Gomez just passed between Gustavo and Li Jie, not offside!

The two-for-one pass cooperation between the player who inserts the player and the forward who pulls out of the penalty area is not a very complicated cooperation, but it is very useful. As long as the two sides have a tacit understanding and the action is fast enough, they can often achieve good results in a stalemate situation!

Comper was defending another striker, Muller. Li Jie made a decisive decision, left behind Klose who was supposed to be defending, turned around and rushed towards Gomez!

At this time, Hildebrand has also attacked, and he wants to block Gomez's shooting angle!

With Li Jie desperately interfering from the side and Hildebrand attacking to block the frontal shot angle, Gomez, who was at his peak, showed his strength as Bayern's top scorer and the German national team's leading striker!

Li Jie bumped into his shoulder, but he could only be knocked to one side, and he did not lose his balance. Instead, Gomez took advantage of Li Jie's bump to adjust his dribbling posture, stretched out his foot and easily kicked under the ball!

The ball gracefully flew into the sky, flew over Hildebrand's head, then fell obliquely, and fell into the goal before Comper flew to rescue!

It wasn't until the ball flew into the goal that Comper's body arrived. Instead of touching the ball, he crashed into the goal by himself, entangled with the net, and was in a mess.

More than 2000 Bayern fans immediately gave a huge cheer. Gomez rushed into the goal quickly, scooped up the ball and ran back!

Two to one!Bayern recovered one point, they still have hope!

The continuous cheers of the Hoffenheim fans stopped temporarily, and their lead was only one goal left. Bayern's tenacious spirit was fully displayed at this moment!

Van Gaal, who had been sitting on the coach's bench and staring at the pitch, stood up suddenly, and then waved his hand heavily, showing that his current mood is definitely not as calm as his expression.

This goal came too timely!There are still about 10 minutes before the end of the game plus stoppage time, enough for Bayern to equalize or even overtake!

If this goal appeared 5 minutes later, the reality that there was not much time left in the game would crush Bayern's last fighting spirit, but this goal made them see hope again!

Rangnick on the sidelines stopped smiling, and his expression became serious. He knew that he should make a change at this time. Hoffenheim's advantage still exists, but it is not as obvious as it was 10 minutes ago!

He replaced Ibisevic with Salihovic, removed a striker, and replaced it with a midfielder to strengthen the control of the midfield. At the same time, Ibisevic's exit does not mean that the offensive firepower has weakened.

Through substitutions, Rangnick conveyed his intentions to the ears of the players on the field in a timely manner-continue to implement the strategy of defensive counterattack and midfield press, and don't be disrupted by this conceded goal.

Conceding a goal is not terrible, and it is not terrible to lead by two goals and lead by one goal. What is terrible is that the players are not unified because of this conceded goal.

The team is an army, and the most important quality an army should have is to enforce orders and prohibit them. Only when everyone works towards one goal can they display the most complete combat effectiveness. The same is true for the team. Inconsistency of thinking can only cause the team to be disconnected. Facing a powerful opponent, a disconnected front and back can only hand over the victory to others.

There are still about 15 minutes before the regular time of the game, plus there are about 10 minutes in stoppage time, but at this time, the situation on the field has become more tense, and all fans are beginning to feel that the last 10 minutes may become the most important 10 minutes of this game or even this season!

Gomez's goal made the game once again set off huge waves!
