From country team to giant

Chapter 199 Score a Goal First!
In December, the second round of the German Cup started one after another.

Due to some problems, the German Football Association suspended the German Cup for a period of time during the period, dragging the second round originally held in October to December.

But it also gave many teams ample rest.

Today, Hoffenheim has a good momentum in the league and is still in the third place in the league, although there is a gap in points from the first place in the league.

But considering that they are fighting on two fronts, this is already a good result.

At least for Baden-Wurttemberg, among the four Baden-Württemberg teams, Hoffenheim is the most competitive.

The other three teams have almost no hope of promotion.

It is commendable that Hoffenheim can still stabilize the league results despite the impact of the German Cup.

Hoffenheim have tripled and they really need a break.

The media in Baden-Württemberg are not in a hurry. They feel that Hoffenheim should stop and make some adjustments. After getting familiar with the league in the southern region, they will hit the promotion zone next year or the year after.

Starting from December 12st, the second round of the German Cup will start one after another.

The Hoffenheim game will be played on the 3rd.

After entering the second round, the competition became more and more intense.

At this level, the low-level teams that have no grandstanding, all want to hit a higher ranking.

Six low-level teams, except for Hoffenheim, the other five teams have to face the Bundesliga teams.

This is very sad news for them.

On the first day, three lower division teams lost the game.

The game situation can be described as tragic. Facing the offensive of the Bundesliga teams, the low-level teams had no ability to stop them and lost the game one after another.

The next day, two more low-level teams lost.

In other words, except for Hoffenheim, all other low-level teams stopped in the second round.

And Hoffenheim has also become the only seedling in the low-level league of the German Cup.

And their match will be played on the third day.

game day.

Sinsheim boiled again.

Fans from various villages set off towards Sinsheim early, and some people did not enter the city, but stopped on the road that the Hoffenheim player bus must pass, and there are not a few such fans.

This also led to the fact that the journey from Hoffenheim to Sinsheim was almost full of Hoffenheim fans.

Hoffenheim's players were cheered and shouted by the fans as they drove towards Sinsheim.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Hoffenheim bus and the fan team appeared on the road on time.

They looked at the cheering fans on both sides, enjoying the enthusiastic cheers, and slowly drove towards Sinsheim.

In the player's bus, Ji An looked at the enthusiastic fans through the window and couldn't help saying; "I feel that the fans are more enthusiastic today!"

Bialdini shrugged and said, "No way, "Sinsheimer Zeitung" and "Rheine Neckar Zeitung" have been warming up for this game for two full weeks. Various speculations and the possibility of victory have been discussed by fans, and under the deliberate manipulation of public opinion by the media, many fans think that we can win."

Bialdini grinned and said: "This is the second round of the German Cup. Winning this game will be the third round. The low-level team has the best result in the German Cup. We are likely to tie all of this. Tell me, can they not be enthusiastic?"

Hearing this, Ji An exhaled slowly and said: "I feel a lot of pressure, after all, it is a relegated Bundesliga team!"

Just finished speaking, Jian felt that someone had patted his shoulder.

He turned his head and found Gray sitting in the back seat, stretched out his hand and patted himself on the shoulder, saying: "Have a little confidence in yourself, as long as you give full play to your speed advantage, it will be difficult for the Bundesliga team to guard against you!"

Wei Rauch on the other side also said; "There is still a gap between the main force of the Bundesliga team and the substitutes, and the substitutes have very little playing time and the degree of running-in is not enough. This is also our hope that we can beat Nuremberg!"

"Besides, Nuremberg has just experienced a lot of bad things. Their morale is low and the focus of the game is no longer the German Cup. If they can't even win this, I don't know how Hoffenheim will move forward!"

Azoko smiled and said: "We will win, this is our home stadium, our fans are very professional, they will create strong conditions for me."

"Come on! Win this game!"

Kira cheered herself up silently.

Finally, the Hoffenheim team bus entered Sinsheim and was warmly welcomed by the fans.

At 2 p.m., the two teams warmed up in the Fieldsmore Stadium.

A few things can be seen from the scene.

For example, Hoffenheim's fighting spirit was high, and with waves of cheers from the fans, they seemed particularly excited.

On the other hand, Nuremberg is in a state of trance. The players seldom communicate with each other and kick each other with their heads bored.

At 3pm, the sun was high.

The second round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim VS Nuremberg officially started.

"Here is the second round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim VS Nuremberg, I am the commentator Polly, and I will bring you wonderful commentary."

German TV [-], Polly said excitedly.

The game on the field has already started. Taking advantage of the trial stage of both sides, Polly said:
"First of all, Hoffenheim. This team has shown their strong competitive strength since the last game. Even the German third team lost to them. Especially the three offensive arrows caused by Gian, Bialdini, and Wei Rauch. This is a problem that Nuremberg needs to pay attention to."

"In addition, Hoffenheim's playing rhythm is different from other teams. There is no midfielder in their lineup, and most of the offense is initiated by two players, full-back Azoko and Wei Rauch.

"I'm talking about Nuremberg, they are awesome!! Barton countered and gave the ball to Wei Rauch, Wei Rauch made a decisive pass, and Biartini was fighting for the top. Is there any ball?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss, Biartini didn't hit the ball, the attack was ruined."

But in the next second, he saw the ball that fell outside the penalty area was volleyed by a Hoffenheim player!
The ball drew a strange arc in the air, slammed into the goal post, and rolled out of the bottom line!
"Grey!! The new captain of Hoffenheim is in very good condition, with a beautiful volley, but his luck is not good and he failed to score a goal."

"But Hoffenheim still got a corner kick!"

"And at the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim was very active. They didn't feel guilty because Nuremberg was relegated from the Bundesliga. They played very actively!"

Excited, Polly suddenly shouted:

"That's right, boys, just do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the director's warning came from Polly's earphones.

As an official commentator, he cannot favor any team.

Polly also let out a dry cough, and after lightly encouraging Nuremberg, he refocused on the game.

Hoffenheim won a corner in the 9th minute.

For this corner kick, Hoffenheim even mobilized Teidal to compete for the top.

Wei Rauch stood in the corner and observed quietly, and when the whistle sounded, he kicked off immediately.

The ball flew straight to the middle.

In the chaotic penalty area, Biartini and Tiedal struggled to take off and compete for the top.

Bialdini carried two people and touched the ball, but at this time he was unable to exert force. In this case, Bialdini chose to push the ball to the outside.

"Bialdini managed to touch the ball, but he didn't have the angle of force, he pushed the ball to the outside, Gray!! Still Gray!!"

On the screen, Gray slapped the horse and rushed, catering to the landing ball, and pushed the arch of his foot with precision.

The ball went through the crowd and flew towards the left corner.

In the next second, Filzmore Stadium was boiling! !

"Gray!!!!—"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
