Chapter 310 Ambition
The atmosphere in the Hoffenheim team is very good.

As a team with mostly young players, Hoffenheim has no intertwined forces in the team. Although the captain Hildebrand is a veteran Bundesliga player, the setbacks he suffered after moving to La Liga made him cherish the current opportunity in Hoffenheim.

Although he is a rookie, Long Bisheng quickly got along with other teammates. He is very hardworking in training, and he is usually very kind. Most of the Germans in the team have seen the miraculous World Youth Championship final, and they have a certain understanding of Long Bisheng's strength.

If you want to be respected by other teammates in a football club, character and strength are indispensable. If you are talented but arrogant, not many people will admire you. If you have a good personality but mediocre strength, you can only be a good guy in the team.

Fortunately, with these two things, Long Bisheng is not lacking.

In addition, Li Jie is also an old courtier of this team. He followed the team all the way from the regional league to the Bundesliga. His status in the team is not even below the top scorer Ibisevic.

Long Bisheng's training is still hard, because he knows that if he wants to win the main force in the new team, it is not enough to just get acquainted with other people - no one wants to lose his position as the main force, and if he wants to win the main force, he can only impress the head coach by showing his strength!
Hoffenheim has three front, middle and back lines. The most competitive is actually the forward line.

Ibisevic and Nigerian striker Obasi were the main striker partners last season. These two players are forwards with excellent height and flexibility. Ibisevic has stronger scoring ability and stronger body, while Obasi is faster. The striker combination of these two people complements each other in terms of technical characteristics. At the same time, the 19-year-old German teenager Marco Trazino played very well last season. At the age of 19, he still got a lot of opportunities to play in the competition of the three main forwards. Compared with them, Long Bisheng Doesn't have too many advantages-maybe his only advantage is that he is stronger and more physically fit than the other three forwards.

Compared with teams in other leagues, Bundesliga teams tend to save a lot on their training sessions—generally, they seldom go to other places for catwalks, and they don’t choose any tourist resorts for players to train while on vacation—generally, they choose a training location in a small town in Germany, where they play a few friendly matches with local amateur football teams, which often turn into massacres of more than ten to zero.

From this point of view, the Bundesliga’s business development is really not very good. It has become a common practice for Premier League teams to travel to Asia in summer. Even mid-range teams often go to Asia for the Premier League Asia Cup.

Only the Bundesliga, even Bayern Munich, which is known as the Hollywood of the Bundesliga, rarely goes to other continents to hold commercial competitions. This is probably determined by the character of the Germans. They think that such commercial competitions do not have much meaning.This has also led to the fact that the Bundesliga teams hardly burn money, because their income basically has no other income channels other than tickets, transfers, broadcast rights and product development.

In the European arena, the Bundesliga teams have not performed very well in recent years. In the past, Bayern was quite competitive in the Champions League. However, in recent years, due to frequent changes of head coaches and uncertainty in the main lineup, the only team in the Bundesliga that can win has also lost its competitiveness.

However, since last season, the Bundesliga teams seem to have a little sign of recovery in the European arena.

Werder Bremen entered the final of the last UEFA Cup. Although they lost to the miners in the final, this is the best result of a Bundesliga team in the European arena after Bayern won the Champions League in 01. Last year, Bayern entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and Wolfsburg qualified from the group stage.

Under such circumstances, Hoffenheim, who entered the European arena for the first time, of course hopes to make a breakthrough in the European League-although the restructured European League is longer than the UEFA Champions League, the Bundesliga games themselves are not intensive and the pressure is not too great.

Leading Hoffenheim to participate in the Europa League is of special significance to Rangnick.

Before coaching Hoffenheim, Rangnick had led Stuttgart and Schalke 04 to the UEFA Cup, but those two experiences were quite unpleasant for Rangnick-leading Stuttgart to the UEFA Cup round of 04 and then being eliminated.When coaching Schalke [-], his performance was even worse. Although he reached the UEFA Cup all the way from the Toto Cup, he was eliminated in the first round. In the league and the German Cup, he won two consecutive runners-up.

It's just that the unpleasant experience of participating in the European war several times did not affect Rangnick's longing for Hoffenheim to participate in the European League this season-records are always to be broken. Before coaching Hoffenheim, Rangnick had never coached a team for more than three years.

Time always changes everything, and virgins always turn into fucking kids. Similarly, Lannick just can't believe that he doesn't have a life in the European arena!

****************************
On August [-]th, Hoffenheim ended its training camp. During the nearly one-week training camp, Hoffenheim played four games with two local amateur teams. In each game, they ravaged their opponents with a score of more than ten goals.

For this reason, Long Bisheng also had doubts. He thought that playing against this kind of team had no meaning other than to increase the players' self-confidence. The summer warm-up match was also very important. Playing against such a team whose level was so far apart could test the team's state?

He specifically asked Li Jie, but Li Jie's answer made him sigh for a long time.

Li Jie answered this way. Playing with local amateur teams during the summer training camp can not only maintain the player’s state and allow players to adapt to the official game more quickly, but also promote the local interest in football. Although these teams are amateur teams, there may be some good seedlings in the team. Did you see that Ballack played for such an amateur team back then?
Li Jie also said that since Ballack was poached by Yunjiatianyu and finally became the most representative player of German football in the early 21st century, the German Football Association has been deeply stimulated. Beckenbauer once called on the Bundesliga teams to communicate more with amateur teams to avoid this situation from happening again. Since then, the Bundesliga teams have had the tradition of slaughtering amateur teams before the start of the season.

After hearing this, Long Bisheng could only sigh, the Germans are indeed very disciplined, Beckenbauer just appealed, so many Bundesliga teams have actually formed a routine.

However, the nearly one-month training camp has also benefited Long Bisheng a lot. At least under the guidance of Lannick, he began to feel that although he used to run very actively on the court, he was running around most of the time.

In Lannick's tactical system, although everyone has to run in a wide range, the most important thing is not to run around the field like a headless chicken, but to appear in the right place at the right time.

Of course, no player can always appear in the most appropriate place, but this is something that Rangnick stipulates. Everyone should try their best to do this. The more perfect they do, the greater the possibility of victory. This is Rangnick's football philosophy.

The new season is approaching. Hoffenheim's first Bundesliga game is an away game against Nuremberg, which barely managed to relegation last season. On the second day back to Hoffenheim, Rangnick led his team to Nuremberg!
The first league game of the new season must be won to make a good start for the new season!
Although it is an away game, facing a weak team, Hoffenheim now has the confidence to win the away game!
This is the self-confidence that an ambitious team must have. Hoffenheim has ambitions to become a new Bundesliga giant and even a club with considerable status in European football; Rangnick is even more ambitious to break his own tragic experience in the European League this season;

When the head coach announced before the start of the season that the goal of this season is to enter the top three of the Bundesliga and get a ticket to the Champions League next season, Long Bisheng began to deeply feel the ambition of this club!
This time, I was right!

Long Bisheng thought excitedly, only in an ambitious club can he have full development prospects!
