Ribery travelled with the team to the city of Sinsheim, his first time here. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although he came to Hoffenheim with the team when he was in Metz, he only stayed in Hoffenheim at that time, and did not come to nearby Sinsheim, and of course it is impossible to see the Rhein-Neckar Stadium, which has only been completed for less than half a year. At that time, Metz was still in Dietma, which could only accommodate 5,000 people. What about the Hope Arena and Hoffenheim matches...... So actually he's coming to Hoffenheim for the first time in his new home game.

He came to the Stade Rhine-Neckar with his team-mates to train on the acclimatisation.

Countless media were guarding outside the venue, filming his every move. Few of Bayern's players pay attention to these media, they all keep their heads down and adjust to the field.

Unlike the first meeting between the two sides, before the game, you didn't see the spectacle of two weeks of spitting back and forth. Although the match was broadcast live in more than 150 countries, both sides stopped a lot - in fact, it was mainly Bayern Munich, who started every war of words.

The reason why Bayern can't afford to play the war of words is their current results, after the change of manager, although the results have improved slightly, but it is still useless to win the league championship.

Hoffenheim in the first place in the league now have 71 points, Wolfsburg in second place have 69 points, Stuttgart in third place and Bayern Munich in fourth place have 64 points. It means that even if Hoffenheim lose all the last two rounds and Bayern Munich wins, they will not win the title.

The only thing they want now is to finish third in the league and secure Champions League qualification next season. They host Stuttgart in the final round and it's a good opportunity. Of course, they still have a chance before that, and that is an away win over Hoffenheim.

So don't think that Bayern Munich won't be able to win the league title, and they don't have the heart to fight a war of words, they will let Hoffenheim go.

On the contrary, the perception of this game within the Bayern squad is simple - victory. Gotta win, gotta win.

Because the relationship between Bayern and Hoffenheim is not just about winning or losing this game. The last time the two sides met, Hoffenheim held Bayern Munich to a last-minute draw, and after the game they became the heroes of all Germany, while Bayern Munich were reduced to a laughing stock. This is really unacceptable to the proud Bundesliga hegemons, who have been brewing revenge for a long time. And tomorrow's game is the best chance for revenge.

If Hoffenheim lose to them at home, then their league title is likely to fly away. What could be more painful than depriving their opponents of a last-minute league title? In the first half of the season, Hoffenheim snatched Bayern Munich's winter championship, and at this time, Bayern Munich must let Hoffenheim not win the league championship in order to be considered a courtesy.

So don't look at Bayern this time to be very low-key, in fact, the players are full of fighting spirit. They don't need to mobilize at all, and they don't need the media to help stir up the atmosphere, and all Bayern players have a burning fire in their hearts.

After acclimatizing to the field, the players were surrounded by reporters for interviews.

Lahm said of the upcoming game: "If Hoffenheim get the league title at the end of the season, I will congratulate them. But not now, now we have only one goal, and that is to defeat them. ”

That's what all Bayern players are saying.

Ribery also thinks so, he will definitely not let Chu and Ibisevic win the league championship so easily, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are not the same, how can the league champion of the Bundesliga not endure difficulties? The league title is not a dinner party, guys...... although Bayern Munich has nothing to hype up this game, but the media will not let go of the highlight - the feud between the two sides in the first half of the season has been extended in this game, plus this game is likely to decide the Bundesliga title this season in advance.

If this kind of game is not hyped, it will be unreasonable. That's why so much media is gathered in the small city of Sinsheim.

If Hoffenheim do win the title this season, they will undoubtedly be the darkest of the horses and they will replicate the Kaiserslautern miracle. Then the players in the team will become the ones who will be noticed by the world football, and this small town will also become a focus of world football. Now the eyes of the world are on Sinsheim, on Hoffenheim, and everyone wants to see if this rural miracle can be played out, and the key part is tomorrow's game. If Bayern Munich can't stop Hoffenheim either, then Hoffenheim are just a stone's throw away from their first Bundesliga title in the club's history.

Will it be the upstarts who have made history, or the old aristocrats who are sworn to the death to thwart the emerging forces for their own glory?

The media is crazy about such a gimmick.

For a time, the name "New Kaiserslautern" was also pressed on Hoffenheim's head.

But the Hoffenheim players didn't appreciate it.

"We are not the same as Kaiserslautern...... "Hoffenheim captain Chu Zhongtian said in an interview with German and Chinese media, "The Kaiserslautern miracle is unique, we are not comparable to them. ”

This sentence sounds like pouring cold water on the recently hyped "new Kaiser" and putting pressure on the team.

But Chu Zhongtian then changed his words: "Kaiserslautern's starting point is much higher than ours, many people ignore that before creating a miracle, they were actually a strong team, and they had accumulated, and that relegation was just an accident, in fact, after the relegation, their strength was not weakened, but enhanced." But we are different from them, we have never been a strong team, we can get to this day, we must have broken many people's glasses......"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the Hoffenheim players were reluctant to compare them with Kaiserslautern, not because they felt that the achievement was too high, but because they felt that their achievement was higher than that of Kaiserslautern...... But if you think about it carefully, Chu Zhongtian is right, in terms of football alone, Kaiserslautern's starting point is indeed much higher than Hoffenheim. Everyone is talking about the Kaiserslautern miracle, the Kaiserslautern miracle, but in fact, it is just deified in the continuous reprinting.

To say a real miracle...... Nottingham Forest, which took the whole of Europe by whirlwind of red thirty years ago, is the real miracle.

They won the league and league cup in their first season as promoted horses and won the domestic double, and the following season they went even further, setting an England record of 42 league games unbeaten until 2004 when Arsene Wenger's Arsenal broke the record. In the same season, they were unexpectedly crowned European champions and won the European Cup. The following season, they defended the European Champions Cup, making it two consecutive European Champions League titles. All the promoted horses in the world should follow the example of Nottingham Forest, because they have created an almost unsurpassable pinnacle for all the promoted horses - winning the domestic league and cup double as a promoted horse, and then winning the Champions Cup twice in a row, such a story is almost impossible to replicate in today's football.

Miracles are miracles because they are completely unreproducible. But Kaiserslautern's miracle can be replicated, and Hoffenheim is currently on that path. Wonders like Nottingham Forest are almost impossible, as modern football has become a game of real money, with most promoted horses having little money and it will be harder than they can to win the European Champions Cup, where competition is fierce and artificially controlled is becoming more frequent.

Nottingham Forest in 1977-1978 had a lot in common with Hoffenheim today, in that they had been unknown for a long time, struggling in the lower leagues. Both won the league after promotion to the top league - of course, Hoffenheim has not yet been finalized, and there are two mountains between them and the league championship handicap, Bayern Munich and Schalke 04. Nottingham at that time was largely unknown except for a few players. The current Hoffenheim only Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic were considered stars before their success, while Salihovic and Demba were the stars. Ba and the others were little known at Hoffenheim before this season.

If you want to talk about the direction of efforts, Chu Zhongtian obviously prefers Hoffenheim to be like Nottingham Forest rather than Kaiserslautern.

The denial of Hoffenheim as the second Kaiserslautern also seems to reveal some ambition on the part of the players – a team that will not be willing to control their influence only in Germany.

One day, we will be at the top of Europe. Someday, we'll have teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Milan play in little Sinsheim. Someday, someday...... One day, we will be on top of Europe!

※※※ The Chinese side also attaches great importance to this game, there are so many foreign players in China, but there is no team that has joined the team that can win the championship, let alone the player who won the championship as the main core.

Chu Zhongtian is the only one, the most popular among the Chinese, and the Chinese media naturally pay special attention.

The game has been hyped since a week ago. At that time, Wolfsburg lost, while Hoffenheim won and returned to the top of the table, and the Chinese media immediately mentioned the league title, which aroused everyone's interest.

Not to mention the grand occasion of the domestic network, CCTV is also deciding that if Hoffenheim wins Bayern Munich, it will immediately send a film crew to Germany to broadcast Hoffenheim's final round against Schalke 04 live. They wanted to be there to witness Hoffenheim's historic moment of victory.

However, this is also very risky, and no one can guarantee that Hoffenheim will win the championship. In this matter, Chu Zhongtian's intuition was useless.

"We all love Lin Danda" ushered in the largest peak of visitor traffic since the establishment of the site, and the server crashed many times. Fans who were still complaining about Chu Zhongtian going to a promoted polo team now hope that Hoffenheim will succeed in winning the championship - they no longer remember the fact that Chu Zhongtian jumped out of the quagmire when they cursed Hoffenheim's relegation.

If Hoffenheim win the title, then Chu Zhongtian will appear in the Champions League next season. In fact, regardless of whether Hoffenheim wins the title or not, their current situation is ironclad to appear in the Champions League next season, but it still feels different to participate in the Champions League as the German champion.

And we all love Lin Dan website under the planning of Yang Yang, taking advantage of the situation to carry out a prize activity. The name of the event is "We are all Huocun fans", and as long as you register as a member of the website before the end of the season, you can participate in the raffle. At the end of the season, 100 lucky members will be randomly selected from among the registered members, and they will receive a Hoffenheim jersey signed by Chu Zhongtian. And if Hoffenheim wins the championship, then there will be another 10 lucky winners who will receive Chu Zhongtian's full set of equipment in Hoffenheim, including jerseys, shorts, socks, and a precious pair of Nike sneakers.

This activity greatly increased the popularity of the website and also helped Chu Zhongtian increase his popularity. In addition, on various media on the Internet, there is also more publicity for Chu Zhongtian, and almost all sports media will appear Chu Zhongtian's name.

Of course, this is all due to Yang Yang.

Xu Xiaodi seized this opportunity to negotiate with those well-known companies, telling them that Chu Zhongtian is now the most popular sports athlete in the whole Chinese, no less than Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and others, and he has huge business potential, just waiting for you to find out...... Pepsi has decided to sign a contract with Chu Zhongtian, and if negotiated, this endorsement contract can bring Chu Zhongtian one million euros a year.

Of course, none of these things will be finalized before the end of the league, because Chu Zhongtian's agent team will not bother Chu Zhongtian with this kind of thing at such a critical moment. At this time, Chu Zhongtian had only one thing to do, that is, to concentrate on playing well and win a Bundesliga championship trophy for everyone who likes him.

※※※ Participating in next season's Champions League is certainly a joyous thing, but Hoffenheim are not in the mood to celebrate the Champions League, they are all about winning the league.

In the town of Hoffenheim, when in Sinsheim, almost all the houses facing the street had the blue and white flag of the Hoffenheim Club planted in the windows, and at this time Sinsheim was blue and white.

When the sun rises and the city of Sinsheim wakes up from its slumber, the city's blue and white flags fluttering in the breeze, it's race day.

"Good morning, listeners. Today is Sunday, May 16, 2009. On this ordinary day, there is one most important thing...... Yes! It's matchday in the Bundesliga and this afternoon, in our city of Sinsheim, there's a very, very important game! We at Sinsheim waited a year for this game! ”

Every citizen of Sinsheim who is accustomed to listening to the radio in the morning hears that familiar voice, and suddenly stops talking about the weather and talks about football instead.

"The sun is strong today and there will be a very hot day. This kind of weather can be a bit of a nuisance for outdoor sports, but I'm sure that's not a reason to stop you from going live. Of course, when you go to watch the game, you still have to pay attention to the high temperature, and pay attention to some preparations to prevent heatstroke and cool down, such as drinking plenty of water. After all, today's maximum temperature is 35 degrees Celsius......"

At the same time, in the hotel where the Hoffenheim players stayed, the players also left their rooms one after another to meet in the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

When you see them in the hallway, you will greet each other.

"Hi, good morning."

"How did you sleep last night?"

"Oh, don't mention it, Tobias is snoring louder than usual......"

"Hey, the weather forecast says the highest temperature today is 35 degrees......"

"Oh my God......"

"What are you afraid of, it's hot for us and it's hot for Bayern's guys. Everyone is fair. ”

Chu Zhongtian heard everyone's talk and cast his eyes out the window, he could see that the streets and houses outside were painted golden yellow by the sun, it seemed that it was indeed a sunny and hot day today.

"The sun is so dazzling...... Ribery closed his eyes when he opened the curtains.

"Wow......" Tony, who was lying on the bed, was also woken up by the sun, he rolled over, and wanted to continue sleeping.

"Don't sleep, big man." Ribery kicked Tony in the ass.

"Don't bother me, Frank. Let me sleep for another five minutes...... I don't have a good rest, and I'm not in the state to score goals on the pitch......"

Ribery pulled the curtains open and the sun poured in, ignoring the screams of his roommates behind him, and stood in front of the window, looking out at the golden world.

"It's beautiful......" he muttered.

Tony sat up, looking up with sleepy eyes, "Where is the beauty?" ”

※※※ The Bundesliga starts in the penultimate round, when all the matches in the round start at one time, and the time is half past four in the afternoon.

This time is a torment for the players who are participating in the game, because the hottest time of the day is two o'clock, and at half past four, the heat has not dissipated and it is still hot. However, this time is a very happy thing for Chinese fans in the far east - they don't have to stay up late to watch the game, and the broadcast time of this game is very good, it is half past nine in the evening Beijing time, which is the prime time.

Kick-off at 4:30 p.m., and the players have to arrive at the pitch by 3 o'clock at the latest.

They rode to the stadium under the scorching sun, and then went to the stadium to warm up under the scorching sun. The green turf was so hot from the sun that everyone had to squint. As they looked at the surrounding stands with squinted eyes, they saw the stands full.

In the whitish sun, blue flags are everywhere. Although the weather forecast calls for a maximum temperature of 35 degrees today, it is still not as enthusiastic as the Sinsheim fans. In order to witness their team beat Bayern Munich here, no amount of hot weather could stop these passionate fans.

Even...... The stands, which had been sunny just a moment ago, suddenly went dark.

Chu Zhongtian looked up, and a cloud floated over, just covering the sky above the stands.

In front of such great enthusiasm, even the sun has to avoid its edge!
