Chapter 126: The Defender Who Doesn't Do His Job

At the post-match press conference, Vonkel congratulated Hoffenheim coach Rangnick on reaching the German Cup final for the first time, saying: "I believe that Hoffenheim is the strongest opponent we have ever faced in the commercial arena, this season's Bayern and Schalke 04 are not as good as them, it is no accident that they can win 22 consecutive games in the Bundesliga, they can even win the championship, their full-court pressing, pressing attacking style is very passionate, making the fans' blood boil." In the first half we were very uncomfortable, the scene was very passive, and we conceded the goal first, because there is no team in the Bundesliga that plays like them, in the second half we made adjustments, and launched an impact again and again, this style of play puts forward extremely high requirements for the physical fitness of both teams, but before 1-0 there was a chance to reverse the score, we worked hard for the final, after 2:0, I think this is not our game, we still have the task of relegation in the league, so we replaced the core of the team. Hoffenheim's promotion to the Bundesliga next season is a foregone conclusion and I hope to play them again at the Commercial Arena. “

Rangnick looked thrilled because this is his second time leading the team to the final of the German Cup, having led Schalke 04 to the final three years ago, but in the end they lost 2-1 to the boss Bayern Munich, and two years ago his Schalke 04 lost to Eintracht Frankfurt 0-6 on this field, and now he has finally completed his revenge. 'It was a very important game, we put a lot of input into the game, covering the whole pitch and at the end of the season, we were in good shape and had the ability to keep the rhythm for 90 minutes and press from start to finish,' Rangnick said. At the beginning of the game, we relied on overall play to have a certain advantage. After the first goal we continued to attack bravely, that is our philosophy, never stop attacking until the win is sealed, now we can dream of a title, both for me and for Hoffenheim, a top title is very hungry and we will show with the victory that we are worthy of being the best team in Germany. ”

When the reporter asked questions, almost all the reporters mentioned the word Li Huan, to which the two coaches had their own clever answers. Rangnick said of his henchman, "You don't feel how serious he is in training, but he is always the first to arrive on the pitch, you can often see some of his scandals, but he scored more goals on the pitch than scandals, he rejected my suggestion to make him captain, but he was as big a captain on the pitch and in the dressing room. A player like this is like German football, you can dislike him, but you have to respect him. Of course, the people who like him are far greater than the people who hate him. ”

Vonkel's evaluation is more through this game and rumors, "Li Huan is a special one in the Hoffenheim team, his assists are very large, he also has the power of long passes, and he is the penalty for set-pieces." Except for his miraculous free kick in this game, we have seen everything else. His first pass was very deadly, the arc was very weird, and the second goal made us vaguely see the shadow of Xiao Li's flying knife, accurate and fast. For such a defender who treats goals like a mustard, I can only describe it in one sentence, it is not his skill that dominates the field, but his brave heart. ”

For Li Huan, the coaches' many praises are not as affordable as giving him a day of vacation, and it is really a very annoying thing to have no time to date the woman waiting for him after a history-making victory, but this time Li Huan did not dare to ask for leave, let alone sneak away privately, because three days later it was the league with Freiburg, although their promotion was basically a foregone conclusion, but Li Huan did not want to make a mess before the most glorious moment in Hoffenheim's century-old history, Li Huan was informal, but this problem was a big festival, He had to restrain himself seriously, or he wouldn't be the prodigal son that everyone liked, but the bastard that everyone hated.

When Gao Yuan Jundai called to congratulate her, Li Huan told her that she had to rush back today, and there was no time to accompany her to see the cherry blossoms in Frankfurt. Gao Yuan Jundai was very understanding, and did not express dissatisfaction, nor did she ask Li Huan if she went with other women, but gently said don't forget to come and see her when you have time. Li Huan was greatly moved by the girl's gentleness, and immediately vowed to take time to accompany her to see the cherry blossoms after she was promoted.

On Li Huan's way back to Hoffenheim, he received calls from almost all relatives and friends, their parents and brothers also watched the game, and after watching it, they also specially called to tell Li Huan that he must return to his hometown with a championship, in his mother's nagging instructions, Li Huan actually learned that his parents actually began to speculate in stocks, not only invested the pocket money he sent to his family in the stock market, but also encouraged Li Huan to invest more, saying that many people around him sold cars and houses to buy stocks, and it doubled in less than a week.

Li Huan's money to his family is said to be pocket money, but in fact, it is also given in tens of thousands, and the cumulative amount is not one million but hundreds of thousands, and people with such conservative parents dare to use so much money to speculate in stocks, which shows how hot China's stock market has become.

Li Huan has been busy playing games recently, and he didn't ask about the money invested in the stock market, and he thought it was April 07 when he heard his parents say this, and it was less than half a year since the Chinese stock market plummeted, and the jumpers after October were like falling flowers, but he couldn't manage so much, it was enough to take care of relatives and friends, the stock market was unpredictable, who knew what would change because of his appearance, for the sake of insurance, Li Huan was not ready to come out again in the early stage of the crash, but it was still early, Li Huan didn't stop his parents, as long as he pulled them out when he came out.

Later, when Li Jing congratulated him, he also mentioned the matter of China's stock market, she knew that Li Huan had put all the money he couldn't use into the stock market, and suggested that Li Huan take it out in batches now, because the stock market has reached nearly 4,000 points, and the signs of a bubble are obvious, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time, which is equivalent to eating fish, Li Huan has already eaten the body of the fish, and now there is only a fish tail left, and there is no taste when eating, so it is better to come out first. Moreover, Li Jing's family has a strong network of connections, and knows that there are many people who have a way to retreat now.

But Li Huan is a reborn person, and he knows better than anyone who knows the inside story when the stock market will crash, he smiled and told Li Jing that he will not only not quit now, but also smash the advertising endorsement fee he just got into it, and he persuaded Li Jing to follow him to buy it, and within half a year, he will definitely be able to turn his Lechi into a Mercedes-Benz.

Li Jing naturally didn't dare to believe Li Huan's words as an economic outsider, but now the stock market obviously has a period of gain, and she herself is not sure, afraid that after Li Huan comes out, the stock market will continue to rise sharply, and then kill in, and then suddenly fall sharply, then it will be a big loss. Li Huan has at least tens of millions of stocks in her hands as far as she knows, this amount of money is too large, Li Jing only has the right to suggest, but he does not dare to make decisions for Li Huan, and Li Jing trusts Li Huan very much, this man has an unusually human intuition, and he can always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The news that Hoffenheim reached the final of the German Cup shocked the entire German football world again, after fans only knew that there was such a team through Hoffenheim's super long record winning streak and Li Huan's identity as a defender in the scorer list, and after Hoffenheim reached the final of the German Cup, German fans' curiosity about this team was greatly enhanced, so that many newspapers used a large space to introduce everything about Hoffenheim, and attached a map, so that fans could take a good look at Hoffenheim's location.

When Stuttgart knocked out Wolfsburg the next day to reach the final against Hoffenheim for the German Cup, the media coverage became even more enthusiastic, with the name Hoffenheim on the front pages of almost all major newspapers.

Hoffenheim's squad is luxurious enough in the second division, but in the Bundesliga, it is nothing. The backline is full of nobodies, Jaisler is still a Stuttgart academy outcast, one of the core of the midfield Eduardo is just a Brazilian youngster who the team spent 8 million euros to buy during the winter break, and another core Bosnia-Herzegovina player Salihovic only spent 250,000 euros when he bought it from Hertha Berlin Juniors. The combined transfer fees of Demba Ba, Obsi and Ibisevic on the attacking line are not as good as Bayern's purchase of Podolskido, and they have not had a good record before playing. Only Li Huan was a little famous before joining, but that was also because he was a defender and scored so many goals to attract attention, but such a group of little-known players formed a monster in the German Second Division under the tutelage of Rangnick that made other teams fearful.

If Hoffenheim's 22-game Bundesliga winning streak is a nest, their game in the German Cup is more convincing, in the impression of the ball, Hamburg is the Bundesliga can run, the most grab, one of the teams with the most fouls, but was led by Li Huan A group of youth team youngsters to beat the water, this season participated in the League Cup, last season reached the German Cup final Eintracht Frankfurt, in their home stadium was beaten half a game only two long shots.

These games are enough to show that a new force is emerging from the Bundesliga, and with them reaching the Bundesliga next season, can they continue their wild momentum? Will they stage a myth like Kaiserslautern? These curiosities and questions have been the stuff of passionate discussion among fans from now on.

Commenting on the semi-finals of the German Cup, Bild, "Football in Baden is rising at an astonishing pace, with at least one team reaching the Bundesliga this season, and both teams having a chance of reaching the Bundesliga more than 80 per cent, Stuttgart are second in the league and have very good hopes of winning the title, while Stuttgart and Hoffenheim have taken the top two spots in the German Cup in the just concluded competition." Compared to the old Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Freiburg, Hoffenheim is a real hillbilly, they are a country team, they are still very old, in their more than 100-year history, it is the first time in their history that they have reached the final of a top competition, for which more than 3,000 people in Hoffenheim village celebrated wildly. It is said that in order to support the team to win the championship, the whole village of Hoffenheim will go to Berlin to cheer for their team. ”

"The Kicker" begins: "It's not an exaggeration to put what kind of good words on Hoffenheim, they have been the embodiment of miracles this season, 22 games in a row, 23 unbeaten games, and the German Cup has knocked out the Bundesliga team in a row to reach the final, what else can they not do?" Who's to say Stuttgart will be able to beat them? From a six-game winless run to a 23-game unbeaten streak, and then to the German Cup final, there are two people who must be mentioned, they are Rangnick and Li Huan, one is an academy coach who is persistent in attacking, and the other is a defender with a knife who can attack and defend well, and it is the combination of the two of them that has led to today's miracle. Without Rangnick's aggressive and innovative intentions, there would be no Hoffenheim who are now feared, and without the escort of Li Huan and Xiao Li Feidao, Rangnick's full attack and defense would not be able to be implemented smoothly, they are a perfect match, with the help of Obasi, Eduardo, Demba Ba, Ibisevic, Sarikhovich and others, the nuclear submarine Hoffenheim is surfacing. ”

In distant China, Hoffenheim fever is gradually becoming popular, Hoffenheim's post bar appeared, claiming to be a Hoffenheim hardcore for more than ten years, there are many Hoffenheim posts on major forums every day, and Hoffenheim is popular with Li Huan, of course, it can also be said the other way around, because many Chinese fans know Li Huan first and then know Hoffenheim, but they don't admit it, Chinese fans like to catch up with the popular play senior.

In the German Second Division, Li Huan has enjoyed the treatment of a world superstar in China, even Sun Hai of the Premier League, Sun Xiang of the Eredivisie, and Shao Jia of the Bundesliga have no way to compare with Li Huan's popularity, which is simply known to women and children. Post a post by Sun Hai in Sina Sohu Tianya, there are only dozens of followers, and if you post a post by Li Huan, the number of followers can reach tens of thousands a day, and the number of views is as high as more than ten or twenty thousand. Dong Fang, who has always been known as a Chinese supernova, is now also covered by Li Huan's limelight, there is no way, no matter how famous Manchester United is, it can't hide Dong Fang's huge cup in the competition. In comparison, a defender who wins the top scorer every year and takes free kicks is too legendary, not to mention the fans, even the aunt who watches the bicycle next to the street mall will say when she hears Li Huan's name, "Li Huan? Do you mean the defender who doesn't do his job? This baby, except for picking up girls to score goals, can't do anything (what do you want him to do?) Auntie, when Lei Feng serves the people, he will definitely not do it. )。 ”
