As the media says, there is no failure in being young. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the defeat to Bremen, Hoffenheim's players will worry about what punitive training program the manager will come up with, the first time is fencing, the last time is yoga, will there be a triathlon this time?

During Monday's training session, Rangnick didn't introduce them to a coach they had never met before, and in fact they were all coaches from the team. Rangnick said to everyone: "I didn't punish you today because I didn't think you lost in the last round of the league. ”

The players breathed a sigh of relief.

Rangnick said this at a press conference just after the game, saying that his players were impeccable on the pitch, even Perl, who had a late run that led to Bremen's fifth goal. Nelson, he didn't criticize either, just said that Nelson was out of luck.

Rangnick is not defending his players, he does think the players are doing well. In the face of a strong opponent, he can still have such a tenacious performance, which even Rangnick himself did not expect.

So he didn't intend to punish the players after the game.

Although he lost to Bremen, Rangnick strengthened his faith in the new tactic of 433.

433 sharpened Hoffenheim's already aggressive attack, a frantic attack that made it difficult for opponents to parry.

There is a disadvantage of the promotion horse, after attracting the attention of others with its momentum, it is easy to be thoroughly studied by opponents. Rangnick wanted to avoid that, he didn't want his team to start the league well and then plummet.

In order not to let the opponent study his team so easily, he prepared two sets of tactics for the team, and did not rule out preparing more sets of tactics in the future. First of all, of course, there is the balanced 442, followed by the more aggressive 433, and the two lineups often work wonders when used at different times.

Use 433 when you need to attack, and 442 when you're more balanced. Regardless, Rangnick won't be thinking about defending to the ground, so the 10-0-0 formation won't be on Hoffenheim's tactical board.

Rangnick's plan is to continue to strengthen the team's familiarity with the 433 formation in the rest of the training session, and everything he asks for will have to be presented in the game.

The defeat to Bremen dropped the team from second to sixth, but it didn't affect the mood of the Hoffenheim fans in the slightest. They can't wait for the next round of the league to begin.

The next round of the league is Hoffenheim's home game against Eintracht Frankfurt, which has been confirmed as "China Day", and there will be a lot of activity before this game. It has already been confirmed that there will be a performance by the Chinese dragon dance team, and there will be not only German food but also a lot of Chinese food sold outside the Karl Benz Stadium before the game. Cheering on Hoffenheim with the newly learned Chinese while enjoying Chinese food will be something Hoffenheim fans will be able to enjoy in the next round of the league.

Posters with Chu Zhongtian's picture have been sent to other cities in Germany, universities and Chinese communities. The Chinese community in many cities has publicly stated that they will organize a group to go to Mannheim to watch the game.

This is all good news for Hoffenheim FC, which is eager to expand its influence.

There is also good news for them - Chu Zhongtian's girlfriend, the well-known Hollywood movie star Emily. Stan also arrives in Sinsheim and will definitely go to her boyfriend's game. Recently, German entertainment media reported on this incident, which is tantamount to invisibly expanding the publicity for Hoffenheim FC. At the very least, there will be people in the United States who will know that there is such a team in Germany...... When Emily arrived in Sinsheim, Chu Zhongtian had just finished training in Hoffenheim and had just come down from the training ground when he received a call from Emily. Emily told him on the other end of the phone that she was home and told him to train and go back.

Chu Zhongtian was very happy, although he had only stayed with Emily in Sichuan in the summer, he always felt that he had been separated from Emily for a long time. Emily was so happy to be able to come this time, and they had a week to get tired of being together.

Chu Zhongtian's life is actually quite simple, in addition to competitions and training, he goes to learn fencing, and he plays games online at home when he has nothing to do, which is almost no different from an ordinary otaku. He basically doesn't go shopping alone, he goes to the supermarket to buy things, and he goes home when he buys things, and there is really no need to go shopping alone.

The teammates all know that Chu Zhongtian has a Hollywood movie star girlfriend. In fact, celebrity girlfriends and even wives are not uncommon among players, but most of them appear in big clubs, such as the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and many of their wives and girlfriends are models, TV artists, movie stars, and beauty pageants. But this kind of thing is not common in Hoffenheim, a team that no one has heard of before. Chu Zhongtian is the only one. Salihovic, Ibisevic, Eduardo...... and others, either they are still single aristocrats, or their girlfriends are also ordinary people and have no reputation.

Only Chu Zhongtian has such a dazzling girlfriend. Just like his position in the football team, he is the captain, he is the core, he is the best in everything, even his girlfriend is the best in the team.

When everyone heard that his girlfriend was coming, they all joked with him: "Hey, Chu! Let's take it easy in the evening, and we'll be training the next day! ”

Chu Zhongtian grimaced at them, and hurried out with his bag on his back.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian deliberately lightly opened the door, he wanted to see what Emily was doing. It turned out that the living room had changed a little from before he left today, but there was no one. He hears the sound of the vacuum cleaner working, creeps over to it, and finds Emily cleaning in the bedroom.

The sheets and covers on the bed had been changed, and the replaced ones were piled up on the floor.

He laughed at Emily's intent, then rushed in like a cheetah and grabbed Emily from behind.

This action frightened Emily into screaming, and when she turned her head back, she saw Chu Zhongtian's evil face.

"You're scared me to death!" Emily sneered.

Chu Zhongtian laughed.

"Let go of me, be careful I aim this at you......" Emily was waving the vacuum cleaner head in her hand when she suddenly felt something on her ass pressing hard against her. …… Aim at that dishonest thing down there. ”

Chu Zhongtian hurriedly let go of his hand: "Look, it misses you." He pointed down and said to Emily, "Come and say hello." ”

Emily aimed the suction tip of the vacuum cleaner at the bulge under Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian covered it with both hands in fright. Emily smirked when she saw him like that.

"Looks like you didn't go out on my back to fool around!" Emily said.

"How do you know?"

"Look at how energetic your brother is, and I'll know." Emily said and went back to work. Chu Zhongtian stepped forward to help, he took the changed bedspread to the bathroom and threw it into the washing machine.

"Honestly, Chu. You're so dirty, I can only clean you a little bit......" Emily grumbled as she worked.

"That's what happens when there are no women in the house." Chu Zhongtian spread out his hand.

Emily stopped and looked back at Chu Zhongtian. "I'm not your babysitter."

"But the house won't be so messy." He pointed in the direction of the living room: "As soon as I came in, I felt that the living room was different from before, and it was cleaner than before." Honestly, Emily, I really miss you. But you're not with me. ”

When the young couple met, it was natural for them to confide in each other how much they missed each other.

Chu Zhongtian's words made Emily not know how to answer for a while. Of course, she knew that Chu Zhongtian missed herself very much, because she also missed Chu Zhongtian, but because of their respective careers, they couldn't get together for a long time.

is obviously in love, but it is really difficult to endure such a long-term separation.

Seeing Emily's silent appearance, Chu Zhongtian knew that he had also talked about Emily's sore spot, and he hurriedly smiled: "Okay, I'm joking." I know you're busy, and so am I. Tell me about you, how is your mother? ”

"She's still angry that you chose to join Hoffenheim, my dear." Emily pouted.

Although she had explained it to her mother, her mother didn't listen to it at all, and she said that Chu Zhongtian's interfaces were not decent reasons at all. A player who is on the rise in his career joins a promoted polo team, she doesn't care what impact it will have in competition, she only knows that people's interest in Chu Zhongtian will immediately decrease. This will indirectly affect his own daughter.

"She thinks your choice is a very financial failure."

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "What your mother said makes sense, James told me that since I joined the Bundesliga, those sponsors have been cold to me." Haven't you seen that I haven't had any new ads during this time? I also have a lot less space in entertainment magazines. ”

"Of course I did."

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "But I don't care." ”

"But, Chu ...... If you want to repair your relationship with my mom, I feel like you have to care about that. Moreover...... Playing football and making money go hand in hand, aren't they? Emily frowned. She hopes that Chu Zhongtian and her mother will have a good relationship, because only in this way will she not have to be caught in the middle. She loves Chu Zhongtian, but she can't abandon her mother, and the best solution is for the two to restore the relationship.

Chu Zhongtian sat down on the sofa and said with a wry smile: "I know it too." But the world is very realistic, and if I don't do something here, the sponsors won't be interested in me. So even if I want to fix it, I'm afraid it will take a while......"

Mr. Merry also introduced some sponsors to Chu Zhongtian during this time, but they are all image endorsements for small things, such as the endorsement of peanut butter, the endorsement of a certain brand of biscuits, etc. Chu Zhongtian took all these things, anyway, he doesn't have any new endorsements now, but even if he takes them all, he won't make much money.

Originally, Peugeot was interested in him and wanted to ask him to be the face of the image in China, and if he signed a contract, he could get a brand new logo car immediately. As a result, as soon as he moved to Hoffenheim, a team that everyone had never heard of before, the matter was yellow. No matter how much James asked, the other party didn't follow. Chu Zhongtian himself knew that this thing was impossible, so he went to buy an Audi himself.

Sponsors are very realistic, and if you don't make it, then those big companies will definitely not look down on you. All you can make is small amounts of money like cookies and peanut butter.

Because of Chu Zhongtian's transfer choice, the commercial development around him has also been resisted. Chu Zhongtian has asked his team of agents in China to focus all their energy on the construction of that school in New Beichuan. The operation of his and Emily's charitable foundation was handed over to a team of professional managers that Emily had hired for them – a team that had been hired to be responsible for the commercial development of the two men in North America, but now plans have been put on hold, and the Americans are not interested in the core players of a Bundesliga country team. Naturally, this team can only be used to manage the Foundation.

Emily saw that Chu Zhongtian's mood was not very high, and hurriedly said: "But the good news is that the business of the Great Chinese Restaurant in Los Angeles is very good, and the branch is ready to open in Houston." ”

The Great China Restaurant has nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian's personal image, as long as the business is good, the funds are abundant, and there is market demand, you can open a branch.

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "That's not bad." ”

Then he patted his thigh and motioned for Emily to sit up: "Hygiene or something, I'll talk about it later." Now let me hug you, Amy. ”

Emily put down the vacuum cleaner in her hand, then put down her coiled hair, walked over obediently, sat on Chu Zhongtian's lap, and asked Chu Zhongtian to hold her from the side.

Chu Zhongtian buried his head in the middle of Emily's plump breasts, and then greedily inhaled the fragrance from Emily's body.

Then he didn't change his position, and held Emily until the sun went down.

※※※ Emily came back, of course, not to discuss with Chu Zhongtian about the problem of commercial development, which was to block him, she was here for a vacation, and she was also here to accompany her boyfriend. Two people prefer to communicate in bed rather than sit face-to-face and act like a negotiation.

Although he and Emily were crazy at night, Chu Zhongtian did not show the slightest discomfort on the training ground the next day. He now felt that Romario might not have been wrong, at least in his own sexuality, which might not really affect the next day's match.

During the day, Chu Zhongtian went to training, and Emily went shopping. Sinsheim is not a large city, one could even say just a town, with more than 35,000 people. If Emily wants to go to the big mall, she has to go to nearby Mannheim, which has a population of 300,000 and is considered a bustling city.

But if Emily had been so fond of shopping to Ribery's wife, Vahiba, she would not have been satisfied if she had gone to Munich. Luckily, Emily is not like that, she just goes out shopping to buy some necessities, and if she wants to go shopping, she will go to Paris instead of Sinsheim.

During this week, she had to concentrate on taking care of Chu Zhongtian. When she was away, Chu Zhongtian ate like this - every day after training, he would have lunch in the team's cafeteria, and if it wasn't a day of two exercises, he would cook and eat at home in the afternoon. Because professional players have a lot of taboos when it comes to eating, his cooking is also simple and doesn't take much time.

Now that Emily is back, even if it is two exercises a day, Chu Zhongtian will personally drive home for dinner at noon, and train in Hoffenheim in the afternoon, anyway, the distance is not far, it is only four kilometers from Hoffenheim to Sinsheim, and it will be there within ten minutes by car.

If it is a day of practice, Chu Zhongtian will accompany Emily to Mannheim in the afternoon. After hearing that Emily came to Germany, Ribery had already called Chu Zhongtian and asked him to take Emily to Munich after the match with Frankfurt, and be entertained by the Riberies.

The match against Eintracht Frankfurt was on Saturday afternoon, and if he won, Chu Zhongtian would be able to go to Munich with Emily that night. Bayern Munich's home game against Bochum was also played in the same afternoon, so there was plenty of time for the two families to get together on Sunday.

This is the first time Chu Zhongtian has met Ribery since his transfer to Hoffenheim.

※※※As the match with Frankfurt approached, Chu Zhongtian was also busy. Not only did he train and accompany Emily, but he also had to be interviewed by a number of media outlets, mostly German, including Deutsche Welle radio station, Premiere TV, which broadcasts the Bundesliga with full rights, and Deutsche Television One, as well as Kicker Magazine and local Chinese newspapers in Germany.

Chu Zhongtian performed well in the match against Bremen and scored a goal himself, which further increased his popularity in Germany. There are not many famous stars in Germany, and most of them are concentrated in a few traditional strong teams, so it is much faster to become famous in Germany than in other countries. Chu Zhongtian's ability to understand and speak fluent German is one of the reasons why he is popular with the German media.

The current Chu Zhongtian is much more mature in dealing with the media than before, not to mention that there is a more skilled Emily behind him who is advising him. In the face of various trap questions from the media, he has long been able to deal with them with ease.

In the past week, Chu Zhongtian's image and wonderful footage of the last game have appeared in various German media many times, and the media is gradually changing their prejudice against him before the season.

Is there anyone who doubts that he is not worth 30 million euros? Yes, but it's already insignificant.

No one is going to listen to those people now, all they know is that this player has been the number one contributor to Hoffenheim's outstanding performances in six league games, and after constantly assisting his team-mates to score, he has also started to score in two consecutive league games.

Some people were worried about whether Chu Zhongtian would be able to adapt to this league with a completely different style from Ligue 1 to the Bundesliga. Now it is also unfounded, Chu Zhongtian did not show any discomfort at all, and integrated into the team as soon as possible, adapted to the style of German football, and was like a fish in water in it.

Some media have already referred to him as the second Yang Chen, who has successfully attracted the attention of Chinese fans to the Bundesliga.

But the Chinese media did not agree, even Yang Chen himself disagreed, he felt that Chu Zhongtian would do better than himself, because he is not a striker who needs the support of his teammates now, he is now the offensive and defensive hub that controls the whole Hoffenheim team. Once this kind of person succeeds, he is a great success.

And from the current point of view, Chu Zhongtian has already shown signs of success.
