Rangnick thought Real Madrid was distracted by next Monday's national derby, but in fact some Real Madrid players were distracted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But don't forget whose Real Madrid is the Real Madrid now. Today's Real Madrid is not the Real Madrid of some players, but the Real Madrid of Mourinho, as long as Mourinho is not distracted, then Real Madrid will not be distracted.

After arriving in Sinsheim, the team had a training session on acclimatisation the next day, followed by a tactical meeting the night before.

At the meeting, Mourinho told everyone with a straight face that if anyone is still thinking about next Monday's national derby, then he can go back to Spain to prepare for that game now, rather than staying at Sinsheim to occupy a place.

He needs players who can play in this game and have a good performance.

Today's Mourinho is full of words in the Real Madrid team, and no one dares to question what he says, and no one dares not to listen.

He asked the whole team to take their hearts and focus on the game against Hoffenheim before thinking about Barcelona.

"If we lose to Hoffenheim here, we'll be the laughing stock of the whole world! We can't afford to lose the game, it's about Real Madrid's honour! Also, do some of you think that losing a Champions League group stage before the national derby won't make the Barcelona people laugh at you for not being able to deal with an opponent like Hoffenheim? ”

The players looked at each other. This is indeed a problem. Now the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona has expanded from La Liga to every corner, and any place can become the stage of the battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona have just sent a challenge to Real Madrid by slaughtering Almeria 8-0 away in the league. Real Madrid followed suit with a 5-1 home win over Athletic Bilbao in the league. It's not just at the team level, it's at the player level, and it's everywhere. Messi scored a hat-trick against Almeria and temporarily caught up with Cristiano in league goals. Ronaldo, and then C. Ronaldo scored his hat-trick against Athletic Bilbao to regain the top scorer spot, and he was also "conceded" a penalty to Ramos in the game, otherwise he would have been a senior.

Now in the Champions League, the competition between the two teams continues. Barcelona face Panathinaikos on this matchday, and the opponent is not strong, so it should not be a problem for Barcelona to win away. So if Real Madrid loses to Hoffenheim, it will naturally be ridiculed by Barcelona.

If it does happen, Real Madrid will lose the most important game of the year. Think about it, being ridiculed by your opponents, and then going away to face a sworn enemy who has the upper hand psychologically...... It's not a good taste.

Mourinho made all Real Madrid players aware of the seriousness of the problem in one sentence. The autumn geese, who had been a little absent-minded before, suddenly woke up - yes, we must go to Camp Nou as victors! In the league we hold Barcelona by one point, in the Champions League we can't be worse than them, even if they lose, we have to win!

Jose Mourinho can read in the eyes of his players and he knows that the mentality of the players has changed. That's exactly what he wants.

So he slapped his face and began to announce the starting lineup.

The goalkeeper is, of course, Casillas, and other positions can be rotated, but this position will never be rotated. Marcelo at left-back, Arbeloa at right-back, and Ramos and Albiol at centre-back. The midfield is dominated by Alonso and Lassena. Diarra partnered, and the forward midfielder was Mesut Ozil. Pedro. León and Cristiano. Ronaldo plays as a winger on the right and left, while Benzema plays in the centre.

Such a lineup has several rotations with Real Madrid's previous main lineup, and it can even be called the largest rotation since Mourinho took charge. Albiol replaced Carvalho at centre-back, Sergio Ramos moved to the middle to replace Pepe, and Arbeloa replaced Ramos at right-back. Midfielder Rasena. Diarra replaces Khedira, who has a slight injury, and Pedro. Leon replaces Di Maria. In terms of strikers, Benzema got the chance to start, Higuain did not come to Sinsheim at all, and he was left in Madrid to recuperate after a small back injury to prepare for the first leg of the national derby with Barcelona.

From this formation, it is easy to conclude that Mourinho does not take the game against Hoffenheim seriously. But is that really the case?

Only the Real Madrid players know how much their manager takes this game.

On Hoffenheim's side, Rangnick also takes this game very seriously.

Needless to say, how much he attaches importance to it.

In the pre-match tactical meeting, he focused on the analysis of Real Madrid's recent rounds, and asked everyone to pay special attention to the following - Cristiano. Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil, Alonso.

These two are Real Madrid's best players at the moment. Mesut Ozil was in excellent form when he was in Bremen, but a spin from the World Cup and a move to Real Madrid has made him a big improvement. Now his performance has a vague general's demeanor.

'We can't look at people with old eyes, Ozil is more threatening and more aura now than he was in the Bundesliga. So be sure to keep an eye on it when you play! ”

Ronaldo's threat is not much to say, he is now radiant, and the entire La Liga has become a battlefield for him and Messi to compete for the best in the world.

To Harvey. Alonso's attention is because the real commander of Real Madrid is Alonso, just as Chu Zhongtian is to Hoffenheim, Alonso's position at Real Madrid is just as important. It's just that he is not as dazzling as Chu Zhongtian in Hoffenheim, because there are many people who are more star-studded than him in Real Madrid. But if you ignore him because of this, you will suffer a great loss.

Alonso handed it over to Sana.

Diarra is a tackling midfielder who can be ignored. His contribution on offense was minimal.

"We don't care what style Real Madrid is, what kind of football it is. Just stick to our football! ”

※※※ The match with Real Madrid is coming, and the whole of Sinsheim is in a frenzy.

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid are undoubtedly the most uplifting team in European football right now, setting multiple records and having a star from the coach to the players. Everyone can't wait to see how these stars perform in the game.

Many critics believe that Hoffenheim are playing at home, and although they have won at home to Manchester United, Inter Milan and AC Milan, this time their unbeaten run at home in the Champions League may be over. In today's world football, the only team that can stop Mourinho's Real Madrid may be Pep Guardiola's Barcelona. And the suspense of "who can beat Real Madrid" will only be revealed at next Monday's Spanish Century Derby.

If nothing else, Hoffenheim will be a stepping stone for Real Madrid to prepare for the national derby, adjust their form, and through their victory, the players will reach a peak state both physically and psychologically, and then go to Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona.

Real Madrid is the best team of the 20th century selected by FIFA, and in the decade of the 21st century, if there is a selection, I am afraid that Barcelona will be elected with a high vote. It's a matchup between two of the best teams of the century, and it's no wonder that the media is only focusing on the national derby.

Real Madrid are in such good form that Hoffenheim's other rivals, AC Milan, are on the upswing. Since the draw at home to Real Madrid, their performances have started to improve. Back-to-back league victories, including the important Milan derby, have firmly held top of the Serie A table, leaving last season's treble winners Inter far behind.

Both teams are in good form at the moment, and Hoffenheim are facing such teams in their final two games in the group stage, so it's no wonder that their chances of qualifying are not optimistic at all. Hoffenheim could have lost two in a row, first at home to Real Madrid and then away to AC Milan in the final round – the odds of that happening are high regardless...... Even the German media are concerned about Hoffenheim's prospects.

This is actually quite rare, as a team that finishes second in the group and has only lost one game in the past is worrying, while other teams that are behind in the table have taken advantage of the opportunity to qualify from the group.

Hoffenheim fans will be unconvinced. But who told them that their last two group stage games will be against Real Madrid, the current team of the year in world football, and AC Milan, who have a rich background and are used to slow heating and late development?

To qualify from the group, they must first make sure they don't lose to Real Madrid, and if they can win, it would be the best. In the previous four group games, Hoffenheim won three and lost one, accumulating nine points. AC Milan, on the other hand, has one win, one draw and two losses, accumulating four points, and the difference between the two is five points. It looks like a big difference, but it's only two games, and these two games happen to be the final two group stage games, with Hoffenheim facing two big opponents respectively.

Unless Hoffenheim beat Real Madrid at home to secure an early qualification, that is a slim hope. Even if they get a point, it's not safe. Forced Real Madrid to draw and get a point, Hoffenheim's points rose to 10. But at the same time, AC Milan should not have a problem beating Ousterre away, if it is the AC Milan team at the beginning of the season, it is really hard to say whether they can beat Ouserre away, but it should not be a problem for AC Milan to get three points now. AC Milan have three points for seven, and they are just three points away from Hoffenheim, and the final group game happens to be between the two teams.

However, Hoffenheim still have the advantage at that point, and as long as AC Milan don't beat AJ AJ away from home to AJ AJ by a big score, Hoffenheim will be able to hold down AC Milan on goal difference - Hoffenheim now have five goal differences, AC Milan are minus one, and the difference in goal difference between the two teams is six. According to UEFA rules, both sides have the same number of points, and the relationship between winners and losers is the first thing to look at, and then the goal difference. In terms of win-loss relationship, Hoffenheim won AC Milan at home, even if AC Milan won Hoffenheim at home, the win-loss relationship between the two sides is only a draw, as long as AC Milan is not in San Siro to defeat Hoffenheim by a big score, Hoffenheim can still qualify as the second in the group.

Of course, it all builds on Hoffenheim's home draw with Real Madrid tonight...... when the Real Madrid bus arrives at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium, the lights outside the window flash. Journalists and fans waited on the side of the road, cheering for Real Madrid.

When Mourinho got out of the car, cheers rang out.

He is the star of the biggest name of this team.

After the arrival of the Hoffenheim bus, the person who received the most media attention was not their head coach Rangnick, but the captain of the team, the core of the midfield. He is the only star of this team.

After getting out of the car, Chu Zhongtian did not accept an interview with reporters, but was the first to run into the locker room, and it could be seen from his face that his expression was very serious.

This game is a matter of life and death for Hoffenheim, and of course he will be more serious.

For Hoffenheim's players, there is not much time for them to laugh and play. The game is looming, and Real Madrid is definitely not a good come.

The Rhine-Neckar Stadium was already full an hour before the start of the game, but there were still many fans outside the stadium, all of whom had one thing in common – they all held signs asking for tickets. The opponent of this match is Real Madrid, with Mourinho, Cristiano. Superstars such as Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Casillas, it is the greatest desire of these fans to be able to see the duel between Hoffenheim's players and these superstars up close.

Whether it's Sinsheim or Hoffenheim, fans here would never have imagined three years ago that they would be able to see so many big teams and superstars on their doorstep, and they could only see them on the pay channels on their televisions.

But now, they don't just see the performances of the big teams, they see them often!

All thanks to Hoffenheim's rise.

When the players came out to warm up, the stadium stands were filled with flags and various cheering slogans from both teams.

The warm atmosphere of the stadium made everyone feel their blood boiling.

They have carried that sentiment all the way to the locker room.

"This is our life-and-death fight! A real battle to the death! Chu Zhongtian yelled at everyone in the locker room. Coach Rangnick has finished what he has to say and there is still some time left for the players to be themselves.

Chu Zhongtian was beating the emotions of his teammates and followed him into the game. He didn't want his teammates to find their rhythm in the game. It's very dangerous and stupid to do that against Real Madrid. Real Madrid is a fast-paced team, and this "fast" is not only reflected in the speed of dribbling and attacking on the pitch, but also in the speed with which the team enters the game.

If you don't want to be pierced by them at the start, or if you are beaten very badly from the start, it's best to get into the rhythm of the game as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Hoffenheim also has a lot of experience in this area. In a number of games, they scored in the opening game, which speaks volumes about how quickly they got into the game than most teams.

But can it be faster than Real Madrid?

'We almost beat them last time on their home turf and there's no reason to go back to our own home stadium, it's even worse, so everybody has to play this game with the belief that they have to win! We have to show courage and give them a taste of our football!! ”

In the dressing room of Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho was speaking to his players: "I remind you once again that if he is not up to par in this game, I will not give him a chance to play in the league next Monday. I want you to understand that this game is just as important as the league against Barcelona. ”

With that, he glanced at the people in the locker room. Jose Mourinho is a mental master who can tell the inside of his players by their outward performances. When he saw that everyone was ready, he waved his hand and motioned for them to come out.

"Remember, we are Real Madrid. We not only want to qualify from the group, but we also want to win the group. Real Madrid will never fight for a draw! ”

The intention to win Hoffenheim and determine the top spot in the group is already clear.

When the majestic Champions League theme song sounded, the players from both sides stepped out of the passage, and the Rhine-Neckar Stadium erupted into loud cheers. The moment they had been waiting for for had finally arrived!

"The players from both sides are out! Jose Mourinho has made a massive overhaul to his starting line-up for this game, and it looks like they don't plan to focus all their energy on Hoffenheim after qualifying early. This must be good news for Hoffenheim! "The narrator who doesn't know the inside story is still saying this.

But in fact, Mourinho will never let the team let the water go. Because he also criticized the head coach of Sporting Gijón against Barcelona in La Liga for hiding the main force in the game, which is unethical. If he asks his team to release water in the game against Hoffenheim, won't he slap himself in the face? In doing so, what right does he have to criticize the coach of Sporting Gijón?

Mourinho's pride won't allow him to do so.

So this game is not as relaxed and casual as the commentators thought, for Hoffenheim, as Chu Zhongtian said, this is a real battle of life and death.

Chu Zhongtian and Cristiano. Ronaldo stared into his eyes as he shook hands. He smelled danger in the other man's eyes.

This Real Madrid team is indeed going all out, at least this Portugal's Ronaldo is going all out.

But he was not to be outdone, and when he held Ronaldo's hand, he used a little force.

He saw Ronaldo's face a little surprised, but soon he also felt the other party shaking his hand hard.

No one said anything, there was no sound, and the number one star in the two teams completed the challenge and response to the action.
