While Lu Wenbin led the team to a 5-0 away win over Obrande to advance to the next round of the German Cup, the club was not idle.

The summer transfer period isn't over yet!

For the new season of the Champions League and the third-tier battle, Hoffenheim continue to strengthen the squad.

The day after the team's big away win at Obrand, Hoffenheim announced two more blockbuster transfers on August 3, both from the two South American football powers.

The first is Suculini, who was born in 1990 like Lu Wenbin, is not yet 19 years old, and has been favored by the football king Maradona and is known as the "new Mascherano".

Sucullini is a player of Atlético Argentina, although he is only 18 years old, he has become the midfield brain and defensive backbone of Atlético Argentina, and he is also an international player of the Argentine national team, and he is already the new favorite of Argentine football.

The young Sucullini has better dribbling skills than Mascherano and is equally ferocious defensively, but what is even more terrifying is that he has a physical prowess that never seems to be in sight.

He can cover all areas of the midfield, from the front of his own penalty zone to the opposition' zone, whether it is defensive or offensive, he is versatile and physical.

If it weren't for his young age and lack of fame and honor, Hoffenheim might not have been able to win Suculini.

Of course, Suculini's own will is also important.

Maradona told Sucullini that to make greater progress and achieve more, he had to go to Europe to play in the Champions League.

Therefore, Sucullini prefers to play with Lu Wenbin, the European Golden Boot, and play the Champions League with Hoffenheim, who created the Huocun miracle.

Hoffenheim eventually won the competition with Torino and Udinese in Serie A, and won Sucullini for a transfer fee of 4.6 million euros, which strengthened the team's midfield lineup.

Then, on the forward line, Hoffenheim also brought in Brasilia striker Mykosur for 4.5 million euros.

Mykosur is several years older than Sukullini, and the price for about the same is a sign that Mykosur's potential has been exhausted, and that the striker is already more expensive than the midfielder.

So, in fact, Mykosur's value is far less than that of Suculini, just as a backup substitute in the forward line.

Hoffenheim were really frightened by last season's injury wave, and this season not only renewed most of the players, but also continued to bring in new signings, so that Hoffenheim's new season first-team squad has reached 30 players.

This size is seriously overcrowded in the eyes of a coach like Jose Mourinho.

However, no one in Hoffenheim, including Ralph, felt that there were too many of them. Because of the lessons of last season, they want to have as many personnel as possible.

In this way, there are several spare candidates in each position, and there is no longer any fear of injury waves.

Of course, no one wants a wave of injuries.

If all goes well this season and there aren't many injuries, there are destined to be some people in the squad who may not get a few games in a season.

In any case, in the German transfer market that pursues financial health, Hoffenheim spent 16.1 million euros on the introduction of Simunich, Suculini and Mykosur, which is already the second largest transfer fee in Germany in the summer of 2009.

It proves from the side that Hope is not bad for money.

Of course, this price is still a drop in the bucket compared to Bayern Munich, which set a record for club transfer fees.

Hoffenheim's last season was a success, so the main job is to renew the contracts of old players such as Lu Wenbin, and the introduction of new players is only a few after all.

But Bayern Munich is different, and last season's Bayern Munich was all four empty.

Bayern Munich finished third in the Bundesliga last season and will start from the play-offs this season; The German Cup stopped in the quarterfinals and did not even have to play in the semifinals; The Champions League also ended in the quarterfinals, where Barcelona was beaten 5-1 over two legs in the quarter-finals.

After learning from the pain, Bayern Munich has invested heavily in reinforcements this season.

Not only was the head coach Jurgen Klinsmann purged and brought in the Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, but he also repeatedly made big moves in the transfer market.

30 million from Stuttgart, 24 million from Real Madrid, 11 million from Zenit St. Petersburg, 7.7 million from Heerenveen Pranic......

Bayern Munich spent more than 70 million euros on summer signings, setting a record for Bayern in the history of the team and the highest transfer investment in the Bundesliga.

The Bundesliga champions want to regain their Bundesliga title from Hoffenheim and go hand in hand in the Champions League and the German Cup.

Although Bayern Munich had a record of one win and one draw against Hoffenheim last season, which seemed to be superior, everyone knew that Hoffenheim in the second match at the end of the season was directly abandoned, and the loss was a matter of course.

Therefore, Bayern Munich vs. Hoffenheim is not a victory.

What's more, a year earlier, Bayern Munich even lost directly to Hoffenheim, who was still a Bundesliga team at the time, in the German Cup final, and lost the German Cup championship.

Bayern has long wanted to beat Hoffenheim, take revenge, and break the so-called Hockenheim miracle.

The 2009/2010 Bundesliga season is about to kick off with the first round of the German Cup, with last season's champions Hoffenheim playing Bayern Munich at home.

On August 6, the day before the game, the newly appointed Bayern coach Louis van Gaal arrived in Rhine Necal with a brand new team.

In his pre-match press conference, Van Gaal declared: "The new Bayern Munich will definitely regain dominance in the Bundesliga and restore the Bundesliga to its original order!" ”

The implication is that the original order of the Bundesliga is that Bayern Munich is the champion, and other teams compete for second place. Van Gaal's goal in this game is to lead Bayern to beat Hoffenheim away.

As for Lu Wenbin, Van Gaal commented: "Lu is very strong and can break records repeatedly, but his teammates can't. Football will never be a one-man sport, and Lue can't rely on him to beat the entire team every game! Bayern Munich will tell him with facts that it was a mistake to stay in Hoffenheim, and he should go to a giant club like Bayern Munich, and have stronger teammates to cooperate with him, so that he can get higher honors and achievements! ”

The implication is that there is a lot of disdain for Hoffenheim, a country club with no background, and those players who are not well-known.

Whether it is his true thoughts or psychological tactics, outsiders do not know.

After all, Bayern Munich, even if it doesn't have a championship, is indeed much more famous than Hoffenheim!

In addition to Lu Wenbin, Hoffenheim's configuration in other positions is really difficult to compare with giants like Bayern Munich, and Lu Wenbin, as a striker, is bound to receive lower support from teammates on the field than the giants.

Lu Wenbin stayed at Hoffenheim instead of moving to a giant like Bayern, which is indeed unwise in the eyes of some media and fans.
