Chapter 409 The Miracle of Huo Village Invincible (1)

The game between Hoffenheim and Cottbus was the first match in the tenth round of the Bundesliga, but it had little impact on Hoffenheim. Among the players in Hoffenheim, only Sarihovic, Obasi is the main force of the national team, Ibezberg, Ibisevic and Nelson are the substitutes, the others are not even eligible for the national team, the impact of the FIFA virus on Hoffenheim is definitely not all the national team's Bundesliga The old strong team is big.Of course, for an East German team like Cottbus that has been relegated every year, it is almost equivalent to a two-week rest, and it has no impact at all.

In this Bundesliga battle, Hoffenheim is the leader and Cottbus is the deputy squad leader. Cottbus only scored five points without a single victory. Hoffenheim has eight wins and one tie without a single win Field defeat, Cottbus can only rely on the advantage of the home field.Although the stadium in Cottbus is called the Friendship Stadium, judging from the performance of traditional giants such as Bremen and Schalke in front of Hoffenheim, they will definitely not be friendly first and second in this game.There was almost no suspense in the game. Perhaps the highlight was that Hoffenheim could win a few goals, which is why the media hyped the Chinese derby between Li Huan and Shao Jia.

Hoffenheim will not spend too much energy preparing for such a game, but they will not take it lightly. The team just completes the team's daily training as usual. After the training, watch the video of Cottbus's game , and did not make targeted drills. In Lannick's words, for weak teams, as long as Hoffenheim can play their own style and training level is enough, victory is a matter of course, only against strong teams. Take targeted measures.

There was almost no war of words before the game. Hoffenheim didn't bother to challenge, and Cottbus didn't dare to challenge. The only thing that allowed reporters to write before the game was the mutual compliments between Li Huan and Shao Jia.

Li Huan obviously knows more about Cottbus than all his teammates. After all, his friend played in Cottbus. When Li Huan was in the Bundesliga, Cottbus had already advanced to the Bundesliga. Shao Jia went to Cottbus. Tebs also suggested that the team buy Li Huan, but because Li Huan was worth 900 million euros when he was recovering from injury, Cottbus could not afford it at all, so Cottbus did not make an offer to Li Huan.But Shao Jia talked about it with Li Huan.

Faced with Cottbus, Li Huan naturally did not have much psychological pressure. When interviewed by reporters, Li Huan laughed and talked about his views on his friend Shao Jia, "I don't know if Shao Jia will play in this game. Jia played together. We have never played together in the Bundesliga. The Chinese Derby is a good memory in the future. Shao Jia has the strength to play the main force in Cottbus, but he is very unlucky and often gets injured. It is terrible for players. Yes, every time you recover from an injury, you have to find the rhythm of the game and find a new fit with your teammates. This is very difficult. I think this is related to the eating habits of the Chinese. I hope Shao Jia will never be injured in the future. Booth got a good grade."

Then Li Huan talked about his views on this game. Li Huan said: "Hoffenheim's goal is definitely to get three points, but we must go all out. Cottbus has scored five draws in front, which shows that they The defense is good, they did not play well last season, but they were relegated in the end, they are now preparing for relegation, the game will not be easy."

Although Shao Jia did not decide whether to play or not, she was invited by reporters to talk about the game and Li Huan before the game, "Li Huan is a genius, I am very happy to become good friends with him, in fact, Li Huan is very easy-going and generous in life. He is not as rebellious as portrayed by the media, but he sometimes likes to do things whimsically. For example, when he cooks, he always likes to make random ingredients, which often spoils a lot of good food ingredients.

Li Huan's performance in the Bundesliga last season was amazing. I think he should be included in the 50-man squad for the European Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year. He has this strength. If he can have the same performance as last season in the Bundesliga, He was even able to break into the top ten.I think this year's Asian Footballer and Chinese Footballer should be awarded to Li Huan, although he did not participate in the Asian Cup.

I don’t know if the coach will let me play this game. My ankle injury has healed. The team doctor said that I have no problem playing the game. I hope I can play. In the Bundesliga, there are two Chinese people playing together. It's an honor, but I'll be there whether I can play or not. "

When the reporter asked Shao Jia how much hope Cottbus had of winning, Shao Jia said: "To be honest, our hope of winning is very small. Hoffenheim's attack power is very strong, even Bayern is not as good as them, and our defensive ability It’s not too strong, but I still hope that we can win, hehe, it’s not a big problem for Hoffenheim to lose three points, we need three points to avoid relegation, I hope God can bless us to win this game.”

Cottbus is the cultural center of the Sorbs, the descendants of the Slavs. It is only half an hour away from Berlin. The population of the city is only 7. There were 10,000+ people here more than ten years ago, but young people are all in the bustling city. The city is working, and the rest here are mainly old people, and the pace of life is very slow.Hoffenheim arrived in Cottbus at around [-]pm on Friday, when the streets were already empty.

The whole city of Cottbus is like a natural forest park, and the houses and buildings are like opening a small place in the middle of the forest.Every minute or two when the car passes by, you can see a big tree surrounded by vines on the side of the road, basically two people have to hug each other.Large patches of green space and flashing forests can be seen everywhere.

Hoffenheim stayed in a hotel called The Old Oak not far from the Friendship Stadium. When the team bus arrived, there were already three or four hundred fans waiting in front of the hotel. Hoffenheim represented grassroots , After being promoted to the Bundesliga, the fame soared like a rocket. Young people who have nothing to do after being unemployed and live on government relief regard Hoffenheim as their idol. Even in the former East Germany, there are many Hoffenheim fans. organize.

Although some young people in Cottbus have xenophobic feelings, Li Huan's legendary experience from amateur to professional star has also become the object of enthusiasm among young people. Li Huan was surrounded by fanatical fans just as he got off the car. Reporters couldn't get in, the white lights of mobile phones and digital cameras flashed continuously, fans crowded around Li Huan and asked their friends to help him take pictures, there were also many female fans who wanted to send flowers but couldn't, saw the security guards protecting Li Huan to the hotel He had no choice but to write down his name and mobile phone to find other players and hand them over to Li Huan. In comparison, the other players in Hoffenheim were a little embarrassed.

Even with the help of hotel security, it took Li Huan more than ten minutes to return to the hotel. Shao Jia once said that Cottbus is a depressed and quiet town, a good nest for the elderly, and it eases Hoffenheim’s club work. The staff did not expect the fans to be so fanatical. The club manager Schindelmaiser once again experienced Li Huan's popularity in Germany, which also prompted his determination to win all the portrait rights of Li Huan in the next negotiation.

The Friendship Stadium in Cottbus can only accommodate 20500 people. The Friendship Stadium in the last match between Cottbus and Frankfurt almost set the lowest attendance record in the Bundesliga. There were only more than 1000 people, which is not as good as the attendance of the Bundesliga team. The attendance rate is far lower than the average attendance rate of 4 in the Bundesliga.But because of the arrival of Hoffenheim, the tickets for the Friendship Stadium were sold out in advance, which surprised the club's manager.

Although the media hyped the Chinese Derby between Li Huan and Shao Jia, Plasnica, who just took office, considered it completely from the perspective of the game and the outcome, and did not arrange for Shao Jia to start, but the Chinese fans were relieved that Shao Jia entered With a roster of 18 players and the opportunity to play, the Chinese Derby hyped up by fans and the media before the game still has a chance to be staged.

Although Cottbus needed three points in this game, their head coach Prasnica was not dazzled by the score. He clearly recognized the gap between Cottbus and Hoffenheim. The offense is just to die faster and more cruelly, and although the defensive counterattack may not be effective, there is still a chance of life, so although he formed a four-four-two formation with a balanced offense and defense, in the actual game, two The striker and midfielder retreated very powerfully, similar to cheat defense.

Facing the deputy squad leader, Hoffenheim still uses an offensive 433 formation. Except for Gustavo, all attackers in the frontcourt try to give the opponent a bad start in the away game. play.

Cottbus is a very poor club in East Germany. Not only can they not afford good players, but players who perform better are also sold for cash. Their dense defense is difficult to compare with the teams in the former West Germany. Their personal abilities are average.The individual breakthroughs of Eduardo, Demba Ba and Obasi, and Sarihovic's scoring all caused a great threat to their intensive defense. Just in the 6th minute of the game, Obasi and Eduardo formed a very threatening Li Huan distracted Cottbus's defense by going to the side. Obasi did not split the ball, but went straight into the ribs. After attracting the opponent's central defender, he immediately hit Eduardo with his heel, and Eduardo took the ball. Swaying past Cottbus' midfielder Bagheera, Bagheera saw that the central defender went to the wing, and there was an emptiness behind him. He didn't dare to let Eduardo pass, so he stretched out his hand to Eduardo.Not far away, the referee was not far away, aware of the situation, showed Bagheera a yellow card, and then awarded a free kick.

The free kick was directly facing the goal, the distance was only 26 meters. The fans on the scene were in an uproar. Everyone knew what Li Huan's nickname was. Such a free kick was almost like a penalty kick, but the referee was unmoved and still Stick to your verdict.
