Chapter 136: Fight (1)

The bus again walked to the black American athlete Jesse. On the avenue named by Owens, Li Huan still lamented the obsolescence of the stadium as if he had come to adapt to the venue in the morning, and the first impression of the Berlin Olympic Stadium to Li Huan was "gray-headed", the wind-eroded stone pillars told the vicissitudes of time, and the bare cement walls looked weathered but neglected to be maintained. The old and old exterior makes you feel that this place might be more suitable as a history museum.

However, the Olympic Stadium is only deliberately maintaining the original historical appearance of the year, and the interior of the stadium was renovated and upgraded with a huge investment of 240 million euros during last year's World Cup, and now it has become one of the most modern stadiums in Europe.

The Olympic Stadium is an oval-shaped sunken pitch with grey seating, white roofs, a blue running track and green turf in a striking colour palette. Although there was still a long time before the game, the fans arrived early and sat there waiting for the game to start. The 75,000-seat Olympic Stadium was packed, but the vast majority were Stuttgart fans, a small number were neutral fans, and only a few were Hoffenheim fans.

In the dressing room at Hoffenheim, Rangnick was giving the players a pre-war mobilization, "Boys, the one hundred and eight years of Hoffenheim's history is looking at you, and we are making new history for him today, needless to say, in the last one hundred and eight years we have been as unknown as thousands of village teams, but it is our teams that have sustained the glory of German football, and today we have come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, we have started to fight for the honor of the team, and we want to make the whole world shock us." I've done what I need to do, you've only done half of what you've done, and the remaining half will be done on this course with the same vicissitudes of life. This is the final battle of the season and the first of the new season, and it's up to you to decide what kind of graphics we'll draw for the first stroke. If you don't want to have any regrets for yourself, now is the time for you to fight hard, boys, and I'm sure you'll beat the Stuttgart ......."

This is the first time that the always urbane head coach Rangnick has said that the pre-war mobilization is so passionate, and the players of Hoffenheim are already in high morale, and they are even more excited at the moment, like a clock-up, hungry for three days, and can't wait for the game to start.

The on-site commentator Yanke is passionately introducing the two sides of the final, his main energy is spent on Stuttgart, Yanke does have a preference for Stuttgart, and the introduction is also full of appreciation, and for Hoffenheim, the commentator obviously doesn't like it very much, and I don't know what kind of mentality he has, in short, he lacks interest in this miraculous promotion team. The introduction of Hoffenheim was also short-lived, and Hoffenheim's brilliant performances this season were swept away by a few words of understatement, as if they were something that all teams could easily do.

The attitude of the commentator Yanko made the Hoffenheim fans at the scene very angry, and a loud curse was heard from time to time in the blue stands, "Fake, where did the commentator come from, isn't this a waste of our ears?" "Why find a commentator who doesn't like Hoffenheim to introduce the game." The curses of the Chinese fans were even more vicious, "Stupid, what a big fool, actually ignoring Hoffenheim's efforts this season, although Stuttgart's record is more brilliant, but Hoffenheim's miracle is by no means surpassing by any team!" "Grass his whole family, grass his ancestors for 800 generations!" Hoffenheim take out the Bundesliga champions! ”

After some short entertainment, the starters of both sides walked out of the locker room, and there was a burst of applause and shouts on the field, and the 75,000 people erupted in a momentum that was enough to make people dazzled, especially the Hoffenheim players who had not experienced such a grand and lively scene, almost everyone was shocked.

Commentator Jenko began to interpret the starters of both sides at this moment, and his focus was still on Stuttgart, for this commentator, Stuttgart's players are far stronger than Hoffenheim in terms of value and fame, and he naturally felt that it should be introduced in detail, and fans also preferred to hear these familiar stars rather than some Hoffenheim players who even heard their names for the first time. Even for star players such as Eduardo and Salihovic in the Hoffenheim team, Yanke only mentioned one sentence, only Li Huan was carefully introduced by him, after all, players like Li Huan are impossible to ignore no matter which team they are in, no matter how bad his feelings about Hoffenheim are.

Stuttgart's lineup is (4-1-4-1): 1-Hildebrand/3-Osorio, 6-Mela, 17-Del Pierre, 21-Magnin/13-Pardo/19-Hilbert, 28-Khedira, 11-Hitzelsperger, 25-Da Silva/18-Cacau, this lineup has changed a lot from the lineup of Trapattoni, the products of the Trapattoni era like Glen Char, Thomas and others have now lost their positions, only the back line is still the same, However, Amingfee's adjustment of the team is not mainly in the lineup, but in the harmony of the style of play and the dressing room, Stuttgart's team is better at playing attacking football than defending, Trapattoni is a good coach, but he did not bring Stuttgart a suitable style of play, and reused foreign players, so it is normal that Stuttgart's local players are not satisfied, and the conflict in the dressing room is not resolved.

Hoffenheim's starting line-up was not exactly the same as their squad in the league, with some changes in individual positions, and even more surprising was the arrival of second team youngster Streif, who had a magical performance in the German Cup, into the bench for this game. Hoffenheim is still the same 433 offensive formation, goalkeeper Haas, defenders are Li Huan, Jaisler, Yankel, Loew, what is surprising is that Seitz, who was originally partnered with Jaisler, sat on the bench. The midfielders are Weiss, Eduardo, and Salihovic, and the forwards are Black Wind, Obasi and Demba Ba, and the other striker is still the veteran Copado. Among them, Weiss's appearance surprised everyone incomparably, because Weiss did not play at the back, and the attack was full of surnames, but the defense was really problematic.
