Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On September 13, the Champions League officially kicked off.

    A city in the western part of the Czech Republic, Pilsen.

    In the last century, this was an important town on the border of the Czech Republic, but with the impetus of the industrial revolution and re-planning, a city named "Pilsen" appeared.

    Although it is a city in name, it still maintains the size and population of a small town.

    The total population has reached 170,000, and the industrial structure has also been dominated by industry.

    This is also the reason why the city cannot develop further.

    The situation here is quite similar to that of Sinsheim, where the whole city highlights a combination of the old and the old.

    The old city in the city center and the prosperous stage of the fringe areas are difficult to combine these two areas, so they appear particularly abrupt.

    It's just that, for the development of tourism, Sinsheim has worked hard on the entire town and road planning, which seems to be orderly,

    On the contrary, the situation in Pilsen is a bit bad, with dirty roads, chaotic urban construction and so on.

    But neither, the football atmosphere here is indeed extremely strong.

    Almost every family door has the team flag of the Pilsen Warriors, representing their support for the team.

    And the road leading to the "Wanda Stadium", the home of the Pilsen Warriors, is filled with red and yellow flags, which are also the colors of the Pilsen Warriors' jerseys.

    The Pilsen Warriors entered the Champions League group stage for the first time in 2011, which is also the first time Czech football has entered the Champions League.

    It's just that they fell to the group stage in which Champions League.

    After a lapse of 9 years, they came to the stage of the Champions League group stage again, which is a great encouragement for this Czech League team.

    Even though the group situation they are in is not beautiful, they still contain enthusiasm for this game.

    The slogan of the Pilsen Warriors for this game is "enjoy the game, enjoy the football".

    This is a concept of happy football, and it is also an idea advocated by football.

    But at the same time, this is also one of the thoughts of weak teams.

    Who wants to lose if they can win the game?

    Just like Hoffenheim, they have a certain pressure on the Champions League.

    For Hoffenheim, who were in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, they must appear in the group stage.

    Whether it is the results of the Champions League last season or the first seed of the German Super League this season, it means that they must bear part of the responsibility.

    Leverkusen received some complaints last season.

    It's not that they didn't play well enough, but that they failed to play their own style in the Champions League.

    Playing defensive counterattacks every game, a posture of a weak team kicking a strong team.

    Winning is not so smooth, which also caused dissatisfaction among some German Super League fans.

    And this Champions League, the German Super League fans can be said to be looking forward to Hoffenheim's performance.

    Different from the traditional strong teams of the German Super League, Hoffenheim, as an emerging team, has the aggressive and brave style of young clubs.

    Bundesliga fans feel that Hoffenheim can play the style that belongs to the Bundesliga.

    And in this expectation, the first round of the Champions League group stage will begin.

    "Welcome everyone to the 2020-2021 season, the opening game of Group D of the Champions League group stage, the Pilsen Warriors' home game against the group's powerhouse Hoffenheim!"

    "First of all, we can see the lineups of both sides. Compared with the Pilsen Warriors, Hoffenheim's lineup can be described as luxurious."

    "Whether it is the comparison of various positions or the overall strength, Hoffenheim has a crushing advantage."

    "And in terms of value, Roquel alone has surpassed the value of the entire Pilsen Warriors team!"

    Dix said with a smile.

    There are some contrasts in the discourse, all implying the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

    And the fact is also true, there is a strength gap between Hoffenheim and the Pilsen Warriors, and this strength gap is not small.

    The Pilsen Warriors didn't even think about winning this game. Even at their home court, they can't guarantee that they can win Hoffenheim.

    All they hoped for was a draw.

    But will Hoffenheim give them the chance?

    The game officially begins.

    Hoffenheim began to control the rhythm at the first time. They played in a leisurely manner and did not show that aggressive offensive posture.

    But even so, the Pilsen Warriors felt great pressure.

    that??The rapid rhythm changes and pervasive passing, especially the continuous breakthrough attempts of the two wingers made them feel tremendous pressure.

    From the first moment of the game, Hoffenheim took full control of the situation on the field, and the entire defense line was pressed near its own circle.

    And Dix was happy to see this scene.

    He smiled and said; "Look, this is Hoffenheim! This is their best style of play, using a suffocating rhythm to put pressure on the opponent. Once the opponent makes the slightest mistake, Hoffenheim will be defeated."  It'll blow past their goal like the wind!"

    As far as the current position is concerned, the Pilsen Warriors are still playing well.

    After all, facing the pressure of Hoffenheim's pass control, they persisted for a full 30 minutes without making any mistakes.

    But here comes the question again?

    Now they are tired of coping, how long can they hold on?

    Sure enough, at 35 minutes, the Pilsen Warriors made a mistake.

    Under the huge defensive pressure, the full-back of the Pilsen Warriors made a mistake when passing the ball. The strength of this pass was a bit weak, resulting in insufficient speed.

    And Ranier seized the opportunity accurately, stepped forward, and stretched his feet to complete the steal.

    This steal is the beginning of the offense.

    After Ranier made the steal, he looked up directly to the right.

    Roquel attacked later and was unable to participate in the attack immediately.

    On the other hand, Leo has already rushed to the position.

    Without any hesitation, Ranier smashed the ball directly, passed the opposing player, and pushed the ball with the arch of his foot to pass the ball to Leo.

    When Leo received the ball, there was a pause, which caused the opponent's full back to stop.

    But at this moment, Lei Ao suddenly started, relying on his explosive power to directly pull away a body to complete the inward cut.

    Leo took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area. At this time, Roquel and Varim both entered.

    Choose one of the two, and who to pass it on to.

    Roquel has raised his hand to ask for the ball, but his position is not good, and there are many defenders around him.

    On the other hand, Varim's position is relatively late, with only one defensive player beside him.

    Leo trusts Varim, which is already within his range, but in a one-on-one situation, Varim still has a strong personal ability.

    Leo rolls out a diagonal pass.

    Seeing that Leo had passed the ball, Varim paused, pushed the opponent's central defender with his back, forced the opponent to stop, and then swung his right foot and slammed towards the ball.

    The shot is very powerful, and the angle is tricky.

    Varim is very confident in this shot, unless the opponent is Liverpool's goalkeeper, otherwise he will not be able to block the ball at all.

    The fact is also the same. Facing Varim's shot, the goalkeeper of the Pilsen Warriors can do nothing but watch the ball slip away from his fingers.

    In the 39th minute of the first half, Hoffenheim scored the first goal.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
