With Sunset's help, Halilovic quickly mingled with players of the same age as Kempf, Follenbach, Stencel, and Habler, as well as veteran players such as Abrahi, Peterson, Franz, and Schweinsteiger.
Then on January 12th, Leon Bailey, a strong, outgoing guy, was introduced by Thomas, and quickly integrated into the team. However, the introverted Hallilovich has a better relationship with Sunset and Kempf, and Bailey prefers to play with the extroverted Abrash, Follenbach, and Stenzel.
Freiburg fans felt that this was their happiest winter break, not only did they worry that Sunset, Philipp and Grifo were gone, but the club continued to bring in reinforcements with an unimaginable investment.
Despite the ill-fated past two years, Halilovich's skills and abilities have always been there. The introduction from Hamburg for 4 million euros has already set a record for the largest recruitment in Freiburg's history. Unexpectedly, two days later, it immediately broke this record with a sky-high price of 12.5 million euros. The introduction of Leon Bailey is not only a good name, but also an outstanding performance in the past, and Freiburg is a player who has been snatched up in the competition of many teams such as Bayer Leverkusen.
Halilovic 96 years, Leon Bailey 97 years, Forlenbach 96 years, Kempf 95 years, Seyunju 96 years, Philip 94 years, Habler 94 years, and 99 years of afterglow, and Schweinsteiger, Peterson, Wagner, Schuster and other famous veterans, Freiburg fans not only maintain expectations for the results of the second half of the season, but even look forward to the bright future of these young players after maturity in the future.
The team didn't think that far ahead, the veterans and young players were all working hard to make a big noise in the second half of the season. Although the strength of the two new signings is still in the adaptation period, it is obvious that the level is not low, and there is no reason why it is not enough to get strong reinforcements in the first half of the season.
I have to say that the club's management, which is always stingy, did not make a mistake, and added fire to the team's morale in a timely manner.
Leon Bailey is not yet qualified to be the main team due to adaptation problems and fitness problems caused by unsystematic training during the transfer period. But Halilovic already has the ability to share the pressure with Sunset in midfield, and the Freiburg coaches have surprised the Freiburg coaches with a tacit understanding between him and Sunset, who have combined to show good midfield control in practice.
Halilovic has a very broad vision, a good view of the big picture, and is also very good at connecting with the midfield, without having to worry about receiving and combing the front court like before, Halilovic can do this job very well and hand the ball to Sunset at the right time.
The most effective effect of one plus one is that in the past, Freiburg's strong midfield did not take advantage of this after Sunset was heavily targeted, but now Halilovic can launch passes and attacks alone, and the pressure on the defenders immediately doubles.
Of course, the most unbearable thing for the team's defense is Sunset. If Sunset used to play smoothly, now running, stopping, passing, etc. can be said to be elegant. And these actions are not just handsome, if the afterglow was difficult to prevent before, now I don't know how to prevent it. After the ball is at his feet, the combination of man and ball is well controlled, the connection action is smooth, the frequency of action is fast and accurate, often the defender just makes a defensive move, his response is naturally done, and the psychological blow that has been seen through has made the defender extremely frustrated.
The combination of man and ball and the further improvement of the action connection make the ball more conformable, and also make Sunset's body very relaxed, very relaxed mentally, and the psychological advantage of being the last to come first in the face of defense.
Responding to the confrontation training, Sunset's breakthrough became simple and brisk, with just a pull, a wipe, and a flick, it was easy to get rid of it, and then pass or continue to control the ball, and the advance was smooth.
Moreover, the smoothness and reasonableness of the movements have increased Sunset's already fast speed a lot, especially when it starts and accelerates, and the change in speed alone can make the defenders suffer enough to keep up.
With Halilovic's assistance, Sunset no longer needs to be alone in the midfield and backcourt and combing in the frontcourt, just running out of the line in the front court, receiving Halilovich's pass, you can directly enter the attack, and the process of receiving, breaking, shooting or passing the ball is compressed very compactly, so that Sunset's characteristics have been maximized, and it has also effectively saved physical energy.
After Stenzel's publicity, we all know that Sunset has been training during the winter break, and Sunset's improvement speed is also recognized, but when it is really displayed in front of the team, whether it is the players on the field, the coach on the sidelines, or even the chairman of Freiburg FC Keller, who is standing in the office window and observing, there is a burst of eagerness in his heart.
Before the winter break, the score can keep a tight grip on the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich, which is something that many people dare not think, but even if it is done, the team undoubtedly wants more.
Everyone knows who brought Freiburg from a promoted horse to its current dream position, and who it depends on to keep going. So, when Sunset was in good shape, the Freiburg team was on fire, and then they were hungry for the league game to start.
Keller left the window, poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to sporting director Hattenbach, and said to him:
"That Liu Ruofan, agree to the other party's conditions, and strive to get it done before the transfer window closes."
Hatenbach has not yet come out of the dream of the Champions League, is still calculating the gains, heard what Keller said for a moment, and then quickly objected:
"Mr. President, but the other party wants 4 million euros, and we can buy 5 players of the same level at this price."
Keller took a sip of red wine, nodded his head to indicate that he was aware of the situation, and then explained:
"Obviously, it's not that the Chinese players don't know how to play, they just don't get the right training. As long as that player can reach the remaining quarter, even in Europe we don't lose money, if we can reach half, we will earn. I have learned about the situation of the two players in the 2nd team and the youth team, although it has not reached the improvement rate of Yu, but it is not bad, which shows that the Chinese players are still capable, so I think we are worth investing, considering the price of players in the Chinese football market, buying is earning. ”
Keller's words convinced Hattenbach and immediately agreed to make a last-ditch effort.
When Freiburg closed before the winter transfer window closed, it brought in Chinese player Liu Ruofan with 4 million euros plus 20% of the secondary transfer value-added income. Unlike when Sunset came to Freiburg more than a year ago, she faced many doubts, and the fans welcomed and looked forward to this whistle signing, and some people were even preparing how to welcome Liu Ruofan.
Clubs, teams, and fans are all quietly changing.
