Perfect Center

Chapter 186 Forty-five degree explosion!
Westfalenstadion.

There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed!
The South Stand, which can accommodate 25,000 fans, roared to the sky!
Dortmund's mascot Emma jumps on the green field.

The hot air balloon with the Bundesliga logo printed on it slowly rose into the sky!

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!!"

"Welcome to watch the 2015rd round of the 16- Bundesliga season!"

"Dortmund plays against Hoffenheim at home!"

"Emma the Bumblebee vs. Millife the Elk! The mascots of both teams collide!"

In the players tunnel.

Players from both sides greeted each other politely.

Hoffenheim's young central defender Hummels was looking at Xia Han in the queue curiously.

Xia Han felt a gaze being fixed on him.

He turned around and smiled and nodded at Hummels.

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"

"Dortmund has deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Burki!"

"Defenders: Schmelzer, Sven Bender, Subotic, Piszczek!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Sahin, Weigl!"

"Central midfielders: Aubameyang, Shinji Kagawa, Mkhitaryan!"

"Forward: Xia Han!"

"Bürki played four games in twelve days! He was going to be exhausted! In the first three games, he was in hot form and made several great saves!"

"The young coach Nagelsmann deployed the same 3-4-1-2 formation as in the last game!"

"Goalkeeper: Oliver Baumann!"

"Defenders: Bikaksic, Sule, Fabian Scherrer!"

"Midfield: Tolian, Rudy, Strobl, Kadrabek!"

"Central midfielder: Amiri!"

"Forward: Volland, Mark Uth!"

"Nagelsmann uses different players in every game. He likes to use some young players, such as defender Sule and central midfielder Amiri!"

As soon as the game starts.

Hoffenheim has the ball.

There was no intention of defending. No matter who the opponent was or what ranking they ranked, Nagelsmann insisted on his own tactical philosophy and launched a quick attack under high pressure!
"The advancement speed is very fast! Hoffenheim wants to attack directly at the beginning! They want to seize the initiative!"

"Torrian is very fast! There are also rumors that Dortmund will purchase this young left midfielder for a transfer fee of 7 million euros! His offensive attributes are still good!"

"He said in an interview that he would unleash his talents at this year's Olympics!"

"Although Hoffenheim is now mired in the relegation quagmire, the arrival of the young coach Nagelsmann has also brought a glimmer of hope and light to Hoffenheim!"

"The young coach advocates quick attacks from high positions! He is also an offensive coach!"

"Even if he faces a team that has won a long winning streak, scored more than 20 goals, he will not feel the slightest fear!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Tolian, who has a bright future, sent a pass that made people slap their foreheads. He sent a long-distance pass directly to the billboard behind Kadrabek!

"Tolian's pass made Nagelsmann's eyes go dark!"

"The little guy running on the billboard is not your teammate!"

Torian also had an apologetic look on his face.

The third minute of the game.

"Hoffenheim is pressing madly in the frontcourt!"

"But the football is firmly controlled by Dortmund!"

"It is difficult for Hoffenheim to stop Dortmund's attack!"

The voice just fell.

Under the crazy pressure from Hoffenheim striker Volland, Sahin quickly passed the ball diagonally to the talented German midfielder Weigl who came to support!

Weigl turned his head several times before receiving the ball.

At this moment, one touch of the ball!
With great force, the ball was sent directly to Mkhitaryan who was heading towards the 40-meter area!
A perfect pass allowed Mkhitaryan to move the ball forward!
"Weigel's precision guidance!"

"Tear open Hoffenheim's midfield barrier! Their left and right midfield positions are too forward, and Mkhitaryan is far ahead!"

"Joint block by Bicaksic and Sule!"

“It doesn’t work!”

Accompanied by the terrifying roars of the home fans, Mkhitaryan's figure was like a swordfish swimming in the sea!

He easily broke through the double-team that was not very coordinated between the two players.

One step faster, every step faster, before the double-team was formed, Mkhitaryan had already dribbled the ball to the ribs!
Snapped!
Looking at Hoffenheim's penalty area, Mkhitaryan directly chose to kick a 45-degree cross!

The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into Hoffenheim's penalty area quickly and fiercely!
"Forty-five degree cross!"

"The football's flight path is very good! It's very fast and falls straight into Hoffenheim's penalty area!"

The situation is good, and Hoffenheim's defense line is thin with only Scheer left!
After a simple run-up, Xia Han jumped high!
It was like a mountain pressing down on Sher!
Headed the ball into the goal!

Bauman's reaction was not slow. The moment Xia Han smashed the door, he flew out, but he was still a step too slow!
When he landed, the football had already fallen into the net!
1-0! ! !

"Wow! While Hoffenheim's formation has maximized its offensive attributes, their defense will be very vulnerable!"

"Plus, the formation of three defenders will test their defensive players' individual strength and tacit cooperation even more!"

"Dortmund scored a goal just three minutes into the game!"

"Mkhitaryan made a 45-degree cross, and Xia Han scored with a fierce header to take the lead!"

Westfalenstadion.

Tens of thousands of fans burst into a terrifying wave of cheers and rushed towards the Chinese striker who scored the goal on the field!
Xia Han had a brilliant smile on his face. He trotted to the sidelines and did a backflip to celebrate. Following closely behind him, Aubameyang did a frontflip to celebrate in the opposite way. Mkhitaryan weighed his own strength, did not do a somersault, and silently ran to Xia Han's side.

"This header template is quite useful." Xia Han apologized for slandering Valente's "header advantage."

This template is mostly an enhancement when defending headers, but in this game, Xia Han predicted the jump of Hoffenheim defender Scheer, a more accurate prediction.

This allows him to exert more force when he gets the first chance to land the ball, and he can control the angle of the ball better.

Sule stood on the penalty area line and said to Scherer: "It's my fault. I didn't cooperate well and was a step slow."

"It's okay." Baumann got up from the ground helplessly, picked up the football from the net and threw it to Hummels.

It seems that the gap between the two sides is even greater than he imagined.
