There was indeed an obvious pause, but under normal circumstances the referee would not award a penalty kick. It was obvious that Van Nistelrooy poked Smalling with his elbow when he started running back, and was also suspected of fouling.
Ruud, who has rich experience, did not ask the referee for a penalty kick. He tried his best to get rid of Smalling's pull, stretched out his long leg and poked back...
***! Hodgson's mouth opened in surprise. On Ruud van Nistelrooy's return line, the Chinese player was making adjustments to shoot while running...
The return pass bounced twice on the lawn, and Chen Zhuo hit the ball with his instep! The location of the shot was between the penalty area line and the penalty spot...
Schwarzer relied on his instant reaction to fish a handful into the air. The ball did not pursue an angle, it was just a simple powerful volley. The ball was surrounded by a gust of wind and roared from Schwarzer's side into the goal!
The Fulham fans at the scene were completely silent, and the people watching the live broadcast in the city of Hamburg started cheering mode at this moment!
The ball was scored, and Hamburg scored first in the away game. Unless Fulham reversed the two goals, the score of 1:1 would also be Hamburg's entry into the Europa League final!
This is Chen Zhuo's 8th goal in the Europa League. He is still one goal away from tying the 9 goals of the top scorer in this cup!
In the 13th minute, Hamburg took the lead. This was a wonderful start!

Even though it took more than ten hours, many Hamburg fans still came to the scene today. Fulham allocated only 0 tickets to the away team fans, which was extremely stingy. As a result, the three to four hundred Hamburg fans who were unable to enter could only stay outside the stadium.
Watch the live broadcast on the big screen in the square.
Watching the game with the Hamburg team were three to four thousand Chinese holding five-star red flags. Some of them were overseas students in London, and some were Chinese tourists visiting the UK. Some of them had never even watched a complete game live.
This time they also accidentally learned that there was a Chinese in an important game that attracted European attention!
"The eighth goal, this is Chen Zhuo's eighth goal in this Europa League. From the substitute at home against PSV, to the executive coach and captain of the away game against Fulham in the semi-finals,
Chen Zhuo's progress in this Europa League is definitely a miracle that cannot be replicated!" Liu Hongjian expressed his emotions excitedly.
According to his introduction, the Chinese audience watching the big screen outside the London Stadium could not see it. What they could see was a Chinese player running around the stadium in excitement after scoring a goal. They saw dozens of large and small screens in the corner of the stands.
The small national flag was waving vigorously.
More Hamburg fans watched the live TV broadcast in Germany. Many TV screens in Hamburg were broadcasting the game live, and many street shops also switched the TVs that played advertisements for the street to the live game screen.
With this goal, the streets of Hamburg cheered.

With a livid expression on his face, Hodgson waved to captain Simon Davies to come over and give an explanation. It looked like he was going to make adjustments to a certain player's position or other aspects.
The home fans could not hide their disappointment. They knew very well that what Fulham is best at is defense, especially in the past few seasons under Hodgson's coaching. They had exhausted their opponents countless times through tenacious defense, and then through only
Fulham's fans have become accustomed to their team being besieged by opponents and remain unmoved, but conceding a goal in just 13 minutes of the opening game is really rare.
Rare, which means many have never been seen before, but rarely happen. Isn't it the same when playing against Juventus? Fulham had already lost 1:3 away from home, and only two minutes after returning home
Being scored by an opponent seems like...
It seems that the goal was also a breakthrough by Juventus from their right wing and Fulham's left wing, and the opponent scored near the penalty spot, except that the scoring player was changed from France's Trezeguet to a Chinese.
Other links are so similar!
Hodgson still remained calm and calm. After experiencing the life-and-death reversal against Juventus, the psychological quality of the Fulham players had all improved to a higher level. That game was much more dangerous than now. Now at least we have to advance.
Hamburg scored two goals, but what about that game? It took four goals to reverse the situation! This game was against the German Hamburg team, and that game could be against Juventus, one of the world's top clubs!
Duff made a huge side interception, knocking Elia away. Although the referee stopped the game and punished Duff with a foul, he only gave a verbal warning and did not show Duff a yellow card as punishment.
.
Indeed, not everyone in the Hamburg team can run and hit like Garson. Elia, Trochowski and Ruud van Nistelrooy at this age are not particularly good at collision or fierce confrontation. Compared with
Although the opposing Fulham players are all in their early 30s, their collision and anti-collision abilities are undoubtedly better than those of Elia and others...
Etuhu and Simon Davies each knocked down Ruud once, Elia was knocked down once by Duff and Baird on the left, Trochowski and Ronaldson both fell to the ground in the collision...
…
Fulham had several consecutive collisions that tested the referee's penalty scale. It was obvious that the referee was somewhat partial to Fulham, who was playing at home. Even for several obvious intentional fouls, the referee did not show a yellow card to control the players' emotions.
Regarding the opponent's method, Chen Zhuo asked Elia and Fanny to take it back. Ogo and Yarolim changed positions with them respectively, and they built a protective wall in front. Elia and Fanny
More offensive methods are adopted from the back row.
Football does not rely on collision to solve all problems. Although the cooperation of Hamburg team is not so smooth, and Hamburg midfielders are repeatedly successfully intercepted by Fulham, Fulham hits the Hamburg team's penalty area or the penalty area.
The number of threatening shots from nearby is still very few.

Defense is not Fulham's strength or patent. Hamburg's current "double hinge + double free agent" tactical system originally regarded defense as the first priority. From the time they started using this tactic, they faced off against Mainz and
Fulham, Hamburg did not concede a goal in two games, which shows that the defensive strength of this tactical system is trustworthy.
In the last game against Hoffenheim, Eduardo scored the goal through a long shot in stoppage time. This was not caused by an improper tactical system.
Ogo and Boateng on the left and right wings performed normally, and Yarolim, Chen Zhuo, and Demel defended in a clear way in the middle and in the ribs. Ruud van Nistelrooy's back-and-forth coverage also played a big role in the entire first half.
On the field, Hamburg's midfield defense was airtight, coupled with young player Garson's active counterattack in the frontcourt, and Berg's suppression of Fulham's midfielder and central defender, Fulham's entire first half was
There is a kind of helpless dilemma!
As soon as the midfield whistle blew, Hodgson hurried into the players' tunnel. It seemed that he couldn't wait to make tactical arrangements for the players and formation.
The Hamburg players happily walked into the tunnel. The nervousness before the game was gone as the score was leading and the situation was dominant. The players could not help but breed the opponent's lax mentality.

"Everyone, we have fully prepared for tactical issues before the game. I won't repeat them today. Now I will talk about mentality issues." Chen Zhuo tapped the tactical board lightly and said: "We have an idiom in China, which is called
…”
Chen Zhuo wrote the four Chinese characters "Be careful at the end as you begin" on the tactical board. Naturally, everyone couldn't understand it. Chen Zhuo translated it word for word and explained: "Translated into something you can understand, it probably means, to
Treat the end of something with a cautious attitude, just as you attach great importance to it at the beginning..."
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Jarolim and Rozenar and other senior players stopped several teammates who were chatting in private and asked them to listen carefully to what "Coach Patton" said.
"Ordinary people are very careful when doing things at the beginning, but if they do it too much for a long time, they will become careless and may end up doing a good thing badly..." The players slowly stopped smiling and became serious.
After getting up, everyone slowly understood Chen Zhuo's intention.
Chen Zhuo continued: "For example, in this stadium, not too long ago, Juventus had a greater advantage than us at that time..."
Everyone nodded, and Moniz also nodded frequently to express recognition and approval.
"So, I hope everyone can remember that when doing things, you have to be more careful as you go to the end, just like you were as careful as you were when you first started doing things. This is what a great thinker in China said three thousand years ago. The second half of this sentence
The sentence is..."
Chen Zhuo wrote the second half of the sentence "No defeat" on the tactical board and said: "Everyone, Coach Hodgson has very rich experience. The Fulham team in front of us has their ups and downs in this cup.
It’s thrilling, even worse than us, so we must keep this 100% serious attitude until the last minute!”
