Chapter 384: "Grassroots Star"
At half-time, the Inter Milan players were talking and laughing, and their faces were relaxed.
The Hoffenheim players, who were 2-0 down, mostly lowered their heads and silently walked to the players' tunnel.
The fans in the stands are also hot and cold: Inter Milan fans sing and dance as if they have won the championship; Hoffenheim fans were mostly blinded and silent.
This country club is really not enough.
Fans attracted by the Hoffenheim miracle and the constant championship in the last two years do not have much loyalty to Hoffenheim, and many people wear Hoffenheim jerseys and may not even know where Hoffenheim is.
When Hoffenheim were in the midst of adversity, they didn't know how to motivate the team, and they didn't even think about it.
At this moment, in the stands above the players' tunnel, more than 3,000 Huocun fans sang loudly.
"We come from the countryside and we have nothing!"
"We are strong, we believe in freedom!"
"We're hillbillies, but we're full of pursuit!"
"We're going to win, and the glass is full of beer!"
"Attack! Offensive! The blood of the offense flows forever! ”
"We're - Hoffenheim! Let you taste it – our football !! ”
This is Hoffenheim's team anthem: "Grassroots Stars", which only the most loyal fans will sing in its entirety.
The group is now singing the song by 3,000 villagers from the village of Hoffenheim.
None of them sat down, old or small.
A middle-aged man in his 40s, holding a team scarf, hissing the team anthem, his voice was completely out of tune, even a little hoarse, but he didn't care, his eyes were full of longing and looked at the Hoffenheim players on the sidelines.
An old man in his 70s, trembling holding a team scarf, singing the team song with tears in his eyes, and looking at the Hoffenheim players who were leaving the field with anticipation.
A little girl of seven or eight years old, standing on the seat, holding the team scarf high, her bright eyes kept staring at Lu Wenbin, full of admiration and hope......
These are all villagers in Hoffenheim Village, most of the players in the training base in Hoffenheim Village have seen it, and Lu Wenbin has even signed and taken a photo of the little girl who has been staring at him.
All of them held Hoffenheim's scarves in both hands, looked at the Hoffenheim players who were exiting, sang the team anthem, and their eyes were full of longing, anticipation, and adoration.
At the front, Eduardo and Ibertsberg, who were about to enter the players' tunnel, stopped, Gustavo stopped, and Lu Wenbin stopped......
Watching these villagers who can often be seen singing loudly in the stands during training, the players have a string in their hearts that has been plucked.
In the past two years, when Hoffenheim had a smooth ride and won the championship, the Hoffenheim players rarely felt the motivation of the team song, because everyone basically suffered no setbacks.
But now, standing on the stage of the Champions League final, the top European club and coveted by many players, watching the blood-red score of Hoffenheim 0-2 Inter Milan on the big screen, and when the other fans were silent, the singing of these Hoffenheim villagers touched the hearts of many players.
Before stepping onto the Bernabeu, the Hoffenheim team was full of ambition, believing that they would beat Inter Milan to become the sixth team in Europe and the first team in Germany to win the treble, and that they would create the greatest Hochon miracle in football's history.
However, Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o scored twice in the space of eight minutes to give Hoffenheim a blow to the head, and they were unable to come up with anything to counter-attack until the end of the first half.
Their overall strength, tactical performance, and team heritage are indeed much worse than Inter Milan.
As the song says, Hoffenheim come from the countryside, compared to the world-famous Italian giants Inter Milan, they are grassroots, hillbillies, nobodies, they have nothing......
However, they are also full of pursuits, they also want to win the Champions League, they also want to become world-famous football superstars, world giants.
Lu Wenbin and the others felt a hot current surging in their hearts.
In the face of adversity, the power of this song made the team feel even more.
After the Inter Milan players entered the players' tunnel in surprise, Lu Wenbin and others also sang loudly after listening to the villagers sing the first team song, and followed the villagers to sing the second time.
Then, after applauding the villagers, everyone entered the players' tunnel with their heads held high and entered the locker room.
Outside, the villagers of Huo Village are still repeating the team song "Grassroots Star", and the Hoffenheim fans in the other stands are also constantly joining in the singing, the sound is getting louder and louder, and it can be faintly heard in the locker room.
In the Hoffenheim dressing room, after everyone had come in, Ralph clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention on him, and only listened to him:
'I want to apologise to everyone that my tactics have been studied thoroughly by Jose Mourinho. I have a lot of responsibility for the defeat in the first half. ”
Yankel immediately said: "Coach, I feel the responsibility lies with me. If it hadn't been for my low-level mistake, Inter wouldn't have scored so quickly, and probably the second goal wouldn't have happened. ”
Gustavo also said: "The second goal conceded was caused by a wrong pass. ”
Ralph shook his head and said loudly: "Now is not the time for everyone to review each other and take responsibility, now we have to come up with a way to attack in the second half." Just now you listened to the singing of the villagers outside, do you want to win? ”
The team members said, "Yes! ”
Ralph: "Do you want to win the championship?" ”
The team member said loudly: "Yes! ”
Ralph: "Want to be a Triple Crown?" ”
The team members shouted with all their strength: "I want to !!!!! ”
Ralph nodded: "Okay, since everyone wants to, now I'll lay out the tactics for the second half." Now we are lagging behind, as the team song says, we can only turn defeat into victory if we attack, attack, attack! ”
'In the second half, Inter Milan, who were two goals ahead, would definitely continue to play counter-attacking, defending solidly and waiting for opportunities to sneak up on our backline.
'So we have to be vigilant at the back and never concede a goal again. At the same time, everyone has to speed up the attacking tempo, disrupt the opponent's defense with constant passing and tempo changes, and get shots. ”
'The midfielders and full-backs have to provide assists, but when you concede a goal, you have to come back immediately.
"It requires all of you to run more and we have to fight hard in the second half."
'Inter Milan have a very old backline, with an average age of over 31. Although they have a lot of experience, they certainly can't match our physical fitness. As long as we are willing to work hard, they will definitely be the first to collapse in the second half. ”
'As soon as they break down at the back, it's our chance to score and come back from defeat!'
