Chapter 32: Loew's Favored Man
Nilsbach, the chairman of the German evil spirit, interrupted Loew a little impatiently: "Juachim, do you mean it really? Can you really be sure that this person, this Chinese is what you want? He is indeed the top scorer in Serie A, but how can it be? Our national team really needs a striker?"
'He's not just a striker, he's a free guy we've been looking for for so many years, and Magath is now setting up his tactics around that principle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What did you say?" Bach had already straightened up, his face was very rich, and his tone became a little strange, "You say he is a free man?" This old guy is also a man who has experienced countless people in German football, but when he heard the term free man, he couldn't help but be moved, as long as he is a German, he does not know the meaning of this term, and Bach is one of the masters, how can he not tremble. But he also kept calm, and after a short period of excitement, he immediately realized another thing: "I know this Ai Huan, he announced his retirement from the Chinese national team, and he has not played for the Chinese senior team, and he is eligible to change his nationality, but the question is whether he will be like Wittke in the past, just a short-lived phenomenon? When everyone's attention is on him, he may be overwhelmed by his own pressure, and it seems that his private life is also a little chaotic, can such a person really be a free man?"
"I know all of this, but I have reason to believe that this person can definitely be the kind of person that his teammates are willing to change for him, when he uses his own ability to constantly defeat opponents, the people around him will be willing to hide their abilities for him, such a person is better than those good babies who are useless even if their private life is chaotic. Loew is still very adamant about his opinion.
The old man was silent, and only after a while did he speak, "Okay, since you insist so much, I can try, but I don't want this person to become a crocodile Dundee, you have to know how much effort we put into that person at that time, but it only took one game and it was useless again, which is too much for us to lose." ”
"I understand, but I believe that Ai Huan can be the kind of person we need the most. Sir, I even think that if he is there, we may be able to think about the World Cup in four years' time. ”
"World Cup!?" Although Bach is old and sophisticated, he still inevitably feels an uncontrollable heartbeat for this sentence, is it really possible? After putting down the phone, he no longer felt a little sleepy, turned over and got up, went directly to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of whiskey, and swallowed it in a big gulp, which suppressed the frenzy in his heart.
However, it was also this glass of wine that calmed his mind a lot, and he didn't know much about Ai Huan, "Maybe I should go and see it with my own eyes! Is this Ai Huan really such an important person?" the old man said to himself.
On September 10, Sinsheim, Di Matt Hope Stadium, Hoffenheim's home game against Schalke 04 has begun, and it is a battle for the top of the table, and both teams have won two consecutive games in the previous competition, so this game still attracts a lot of attention. But what really caught everyone's attention was the presence of two important guests, one was the German head coach Loew and the other was the German chairman Nilsbach.
Due to the relationship between the players, the chances of Loew being on the field are not small, and he used to often appear on the field without warning to check the players he followed, but this is not the case with Bach, especially in recent years, he has rarely appeared on the field, unless there is a major game or event He will not be there at all, but who knows what happened to this old guy today, that's how he came.
The most interesting thing is that both of them refused the private room arranged by the club, and instead sat directly in the stands, in order to allow them to have a quiet place to watch the game, Hoffenheim also tried their best, but they were really a little curious about what the two of them wanted to do.
They really didn't show any interest in the player, they just kept talking with their hands over their mouths, and even the people sitting in front of them couldn't hear what they were saying, only vaguely heard Victor's name, but couldn't remember who it was, and many people were privately asking which player on the field had Wittke in his name?
Today, the lineups of both sides are also capable of showing the strongest, Hoffenheim's iron triangle Mlappa, Ibisevic and Demba Ba are all on the field, and they want to win Schalke 04 in one fell swoop. The lineup sent by Schalke is goalkeeper Neuer, defenders Metzelde, Hweedes, Prastan and Sarpe, the midfielder has just returned from injury Jurado finally started, he and Rakitic, Holtby together form the midfield, Edu and Raul as the striker double, Ai Huan still appears on the field very casually, his position is not even marked on the list, so it is impossible to talk about where it is placed.
However, the situation on the pitch is also really a bit confusing, Schalke played poorly today. Although the backline has changed, it is a new combination after all, and everyone's cooperation is still relatively rusty, and Jurado, who played for the first time in the midfield, has not yet adapted to the Bundesliga game, and Edu can't find a sense at all, he seems to have disappeared on the field, which makes people feel that the hero's twilight has come to an end here.
And the most interesting thing is Ai Huan's performance, he is a completely different person today, as long as there is a ball, he must be handed over to Holtby to deal with, and he completely stays behind Holtby to give him a response, which also gives Holtby enough room to play, but the problem is that Schalke's most terrifying fast and aggressive attack before has completely disappeared.
Schalke's weakness gave Hoffenheim a chance, and their attacks rose wave after wave, threatening Schalke's backline again and again, leaving them with no choice at all.
Mlappa stole Sarpe on the edge of the box, Ibisevic burst into the left side of the box and fired a powerful shot into the far corner, Neuer struggled to keep the ball out, and Mlappa's follow-up shot on the other side was also saved by Neuer. A few minutes later, Neuer's kick-off was too far for Mlappa to pass straight to Ibisevic, whose shot from the right side of the box was blocked by Neuer and then hit himself just wide!
In a short period of time, there has been a lot of noise in front of Schalke, and it feels like it is only a matter of time before someone breaks through. (To be continued.) )
