After the game, the reporter of the "Rheinneckar" newspaper quoted the head coach of Duisburg as saying after the game, "Duisburg is facing a fearless team, they will choose to attack no matter what they face, and this characteristic also allows other teams to respond in advance against Hoffenheim, so Hoffenheim has been losing in the previous games, but Li Huan's return has made their attack more penetrating, without Li Huan, Duisburg should have won this game." ”

"Rheinneckar" believes that Li Huan's comeback has brought a qualitative leap to Hoffenheim, before Li Huan's arrival, Hoffenheim lacked a player who could stand up at a critical moment, and he could only try his luck when he couldn't open the situation, but after Li Huan, Li Huan used his personal ability to break the deadlock in three consecutive games, and then had a hearty victory, the transfer fee of 9 million euros is the first value of Hoffenheim's more than 100 years of history, and he brought more than just the attention of fans. It also brought unstoppable domineering to the team, and it turned out that the other Bundesliga teams were all elated when they heard that they were going to play against Hoffenheim, but now when any coach knows that their opponent in the next round is Hoffenheim, they will frown and frown, they don't know how to guard against Li Huan, and they don't know how to break Li Huan's defense. Li Huan, like him in Karlsruhe, conquered the fans and coaches in just three games, and even the old Hoffenheim players who have never been waiting to see Li Huan have gradually accepted Li Huan's existence. Because no matter in which aspect, Li Huan is worthy of his transfer fee and annual salary. “

Hoffenheim won three in a row, and there was no shortage of strong teams like Cologne and Duisburg, and for a time this inconspicuous country team that was considered to be a tour of the Bundesliga suddenly became a dreaded beast. Although Hoffenheim is currently only in eighth place, a survey organized by The Kicker shows that Hoffenheim has been able to become the four favourites to qualify for the Bundesliga this season along with Karlsruhe, Duisburg and Rostock.

The match between Hoffenheim and Duisburg is considered one of the most important games of the season for Hoffenheim, because after this game, Hoffenheim's next three opponents are all teams outside the top 13 places, and it is not impossible for Hoffenheim to win three in a row in his current form.

As the media and fans had predicted, Hoffenheim's morale and confidence after beating Duisburg were far from comparable to what they had at the start of the season, when they were still players in the regional amateur league and were worried about their ability to compete in the Bundesliga, but now everyone thinks they have the ability to make a difference. This confidence boost invisibly increased the team's fighting power, and Hoffenheim played comfortably against the three underdogs of Berhausen, Offenbach and Andahurg, basically sealing the win in the first half and then winning the game comfortably. Hoffenheim's six-game winning streak has skyrocketed them up the top of the table, and by the 12th round of the league they have moved up to fifth place, ahead of Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Duisburg and Rostock.

Hoffenheim continued their success in the derby, beating their state rivals 3-1 cleanly to reach the top three, while Hoffenheim were just four points behind leaders Karlsruhe, meaning that if Karlsruhe are winless in two games, Hoffenheim could leapfrog them to the top of the table. A blue storm is blowing in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's money advantage has finally turned into a points advantage, and what makes other teams even more terrifying is that Hoffenheim is recruiting all over the world during the winter break, and they still have a lot of money to bring in new signings, these fresh blood can allow them not to worry about injuries and physical problems next season, and can maximize the implementation of Rangnick's offensive tactics to the end.

Although this is in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's crazy seven-game winning streak has attracted strong attention from the outside world, and the "Bild" exclaimed after Hoffenheim's defeat of Freiburg that the smallest team must do the biggest miracle, and they may really be able to make it to the Bundesliga, and a small village team of more than 3,000 people will definitely be more surprising if they enter the Bundesliga than Kaiserslautern as a promoted horse.

The Kicker was busy looking for a team that could stop Hoffenheim, and they sadly found that among the 18 teams in the Bundesliga, the teams that had the strength to stop Hoffenheim were all in the second half, and the Kicker excitedly said that maybe Hoffenheim could set another Bundesliga winning streak.

In the process of Hoffenheim's seven consecutive wins, the original unappreciated Sarichovic gradually began to shine, his organization in the midfield and Li Huan's attack on the right side complemented each other, so that the opponent could not be guarded, Li Huan mainly used his personal ability to attack the opponent, and Sarihovic is the strength of the organization and dispatch of the entire team. Germany's famous Scouting Network offered Sarihovic five million euros, which was more than 20 times higher than when Hoffenheim bought him. However, Hoffenheim's chairman Hope said very simply, no matter how much money is paid, Hoffenheim will never sell its own stars, and Li Huan and Saarihovic are not for sale.

During the tense league period, the German Cup round of 16 also started, Hoffenheim faced Dresden, who was relegated to the German second division last season, Hoffenheim played the third position in the league, Rangnick put all his energy into the impact of the first division, and did not attach much importance to the German Cup game, this game only sent his own youth team players to play, but in order to press these young people, Li Huan and Sarichovic also went to Dresden, but Rangnick did not plan to let the two of them play at all, But to everyone's surprise, Hoffenheim's youth team young players followed the example of their big brothers, and even swept Dresden 5-1 away to advance to the round of 16, in this game, Vana's younger brother 16-year-old Streve played bravely, scored a hat-trick, scored a beautiful free kick, Rangnick praised the little guy's delicate footwork after the game, saying that as long as he can work so hard, he will soon become a first-team player for Hoffenheim.

When the reporter asked him if his free kick was learned from Li Huan, Strelf said that he was secretly learning, but he was afraid that he would never be able to practice such a magical free kick, and he would be satisfied if he became Sarichovic.

Together with the German Cup, Hoffenheim have won eight in a row, and then they meet a strong opponent, that is, Kaiserslautern who once won the championship as a magical promoted horse, Kaiserslautern and Munich 1860 are the two home dragons of the Bundesliga this season, the two teams have not suffered defeat at home so far, and in the league standings, Kaiserslautern is only two places behind Hoffenheim, and is now in fifth place, just three points less than Hoffenheim, they still have a lot of hope of winning the leagueThe clash between the two teams is another strong conversation.

Ahead of the game, Kaiserslautern chairman Jaggie said he believed Wolf could lead the team to end Hoffenheim's winning streak, and Wolff has done well this season and was a natural winner when he was a player. Hoffenheim have won too much and it's time for them to take a break, and Kaiserslautern is their best finisher.

Club manager Marshall also actively expressed his opinion on the game, saying: "Hoffenheim is the darkest dark horse of the season, before the start of the season and in the first six rounds, almost everyone thought that they were about a year away from the Bundesliga, and next year they will go back to where they should be, a country team, even if the owner has money, their place is too small, if they really make it to the Bundesliga, will their stadium be able to accommodate the fans of the visiting team?" But in just seven games, Hoffenheim have changed everyone's perception, they have made it to the top three, and they have gradually become a reality in the Bundesliga, such an opponent is very respectable, I believe they can also create myths, but I don't want them to create at the Walter Stadium, we have to go back to the Bundesliga, and Hoffenheim is one of our enemies. We have to end their winning streak in this game so that we can have a chance of finishing in the top three. ”

The team's seven consecutive league wins is something that even Hope himself could not have imagined, and he is very happy, but before the game against Kaiserslautern, he still depressurized his team and coach, the German billionaire said, "The team played such a dazzling result is unexpected, six games without a win to seven in a row, which is something that no one expected, we praise Rangnick and his players, they are perfect, but at this time, I still have to say that our goals are ambitious. I'm not a quick winner, I signed a five-year contract with Rangnick, no matter what kind of results his team plays, he will sit firmly in the coaching position, I believe in Ralph's job, he will deliver an answer that everyone is satisfied with, this year I ask Ralf and his team to stay in the Bundesliga, if they can do better, I will give him a raise, of course, the other players. ”
