(The first update, ask for a monthly pass.) ）

"The Past and Present of the German Cup Winners" was the headline of a second opinion piece in Bild: "A year ago, even the most daring fans would have dared not associate the German Cup winners with Hoffenheim, which was a test of the imagination, but a year later it has become a reality." What really happened during the year? As we cheer for the title, it's worth exploring the team's past and present lives. Hoffenheim is the smallest village in Germany, a hundred years ago Hoffenheim was a team in this smallest village, he and thousands of village teams together to support the skyscraper of German football, if there is no Hope, this Hoffenheim will still be obscure in history, such a small club is impossible to cultivate a world-class star, but he has cultivated a world-class billionaire, the founder of SAP Hope is the midfielder of this country team forty years ago, Thirty years ago, he injected the country team with the money necessary for modern football, and the miracle began. Without Rangnick, this Hoffenheim team would definitely not be as eye-catching and eye-catching as it is now, this professor, he brought crazy attacking football to Hoffenheim, and under his devil's training, Hoffenheim became a flood beast in the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga. Without Li Huan and the escort of Xiao Li's flying knife, this Hoffenheim team would not have won 22 consecutive games, nor would it be possible to win the German Cup, and it would have been difficult to even advance. Because whenever there is an intractable problem, this defender, nicknamed Xiao Li Feidao by the Chinese, will stand up and destroy the opponent's defense with an invincible free kick.

After looking at Hoffenheim's past life, let's take a look at his present life, before the winter break in 2006, Hoffenheim was almost a pure local army, with only one foreign player Salihovic, but now they have become a multinational force with German local players as the main body, Senegalese Demba Ba, Nilean Obasi, Brazilian Eduardo, Chinese Li Huan, Bosnia-Herzegovinians Ibisevic and Salihovic, in Hoffenheim's starting lineup, foreign players accounted for more than half, This is all thanks to Mr. Hoppe's money, they are the richest team in Germany, and while other teams are still haggling for tens of thousands of euros, they can wave tens of millions of cheques all over the world to buy the players they like, and then build them into players suitable for Hoffenheim in their own academy. It was these players who won the Bundesliga and the German Cup for the club.

Hoffenheim's success is no accident, they have the foundation for success, from their step-by-step business style, the calm acquisition of players, the focus on infrastructure and youth development, Hoffenheim has no small ambitions, will not be as brilliant as Kaiserslautern in the past and then quickly degenerate, they will become a significant new force in the Bundesliga. ”

German Cup Winner! Hoffenheim !! "The Kicker" commented on the Hoffenheim team, "No matter how you define the word miracle, you will associate Hoffenheim with it, a country team of 3,000 people, complete the triple jump in two years and become a new team in the Bundesliga, isn't it a miracle?" Of course, even more miraculously they also won the German Cup this year, and it was the new Bundesliga champions Stuttgart who were defeated by their frantic attack. Stuttgart had a great season as they won the Bundesliga title for the first time in 17 years, but they were beaten at the feet of the even greater Hoffenheim, with a passive, unsightly score and a red card. Hoffenheim's champions are well deserved. Hoffenheim, who started as a whole, is actually not without stars, in addition to head coach Rangnick Li Huan is the team's brightest star, his performance in this game is world-class, two goals to create an own goal, Li Huan alone crushed Stuttgart's dream of a double and won the first top championship in history for Hoffenheim. Li Huan is worthy of the title of the best player in the Bundesliga, the future of the Chinese is undoubtedly very bright, now many Bundesliga teams are crazy for him, Bayern even opened a transfer fee of 20 million euros for him, for a Bundesliga player, Li Huan caused a greater sensation than last year's Cologne prince Podolski. ‘

The official website of the German Football Association sent a congratulatory message at the first time Hoffenheim won the championship, "Congratulations to Hoffenheim, they are well-deserved champions, they not only showed strong strength in the final, but in the process of qualifying for the final, they did not rely on luck to advance, they defeated their opponents by a big score against the Bundesliga teams twice, and I hope they can play at a higher level in the new season." ”

UEFA's official website also expressed surprise and appreciation for Hoffenheim's victory, "In the final of the German Cup in Europe, Hoffenheim defeated Stuttgart to win the championship, in this game Hoffenheim showed extraordinary courage and technical and tactical ability, the Bundesliga champions did not take advantage of their hands, and the score of 3-1 truthfully reflected the situation on the field." Although Hoffenheim have just been promoted to the Bundesliga, they have reached next season's UEFA Cup with their excellent performance in the German Cup, and we would like to congratulate Hoffenheim on winning the German Cup, and hope that they will play at their current level in European competition and show the style of attacking football. ”

At the same time, the British, Spanish, French, Italian and other media are vying to talk about this championship-winning country team, marveling at their magic, admiring their style of play, and warning their own teams to be careful of this Bundesliga team that will reach the UEFA Cup next season, the strength of this team is by no means idle, they beat Stuttgart in the final, which Bayern Munich has not done, and this country team will become the biggest dark horse in the League Cup.

Hoffenheim's players are enjoying the praise of the media and fans to enjoy their holidays, but Hoffenheim must prepare for next season from now on, Hoffenheim's success this season has exceeded the club's plans, because it took five years for Hoffenheim to hit the Bundesliga, so in the vision of the club and Hoppe, Hoffenheim will not have the possibility of promotion to the Bundesliga until at least two years later, and their new stadium in Sinsheim will be built at that time. But now Hoffenheim is like a rocket, not only rushing to the Bundesliga in one fell swoop, but also winning the German Cup. There are many sequelae brought about by upgrading too quickly, such as these players who were supposed to be trained for a few years have suddenly become celebrities, many teams are trying to dig into the corners of Hoffenheim, offering high salaries to tempt young players, and even the second team Stref has a team coveted. Now the team must sit down with the agents of these players and have a good talk, one is to talk about the annual salary and contract, the team has been promoted to the Bundesliga, the annual salary of some players has not matched the identity of the Bundesliga team, some players' contracts are too short, and some are about to expire, must be renewed as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by other teams. The second is to continue to acquire powerful players, clear players who can't keep up with the team's style of play and the older German C, the road to the Bundesliga is very dangerous, every season there will be one to two promoted horses to be beaten back to the Bundesliga to practice, Hoffenheim does not want to be the one who returns, and next season Hoffenheim will face an unprecedented three-line battle, these players can't cope at all, they must buy a large number of people, at least more than two powerful players in each position. Finally, and most importantly, the DFB has issued a notice that they are now Dietma. Hope Stadium is not suitable for the Bundesliga, with 5,500 seats, even the opponent's fans can't accommodate it, how can it be the Bundesliga arena, and it's not enough for other countries to see jokes. The secretary general of the Football Association, Nilsbach, told Rothouse that this was not negotiable, and that they had to change the pitch by any means, or else they would be disqualified. The club's officials are now actively working on the matter, and they hope to be able to share their Carl Benz Stadium with Mannheim, but the matter is still under negotiation and Mannheim City Axe is still seeking advice from Mannheim FC.

After three days of crazy celebration, the Hoffenheim Club began to have a holiday, and when Li Huan packed up the gifts he bought for relatives and friends and was about to go home, Watts came to his villa in a hurry, Li Huan looked at Watts with a smile on his face, and said strangely: "What's the happy event?" I won the lottery ticket, or the stock went up again, or I was ready to arrange a suitable buyer for me, so you can earn a commission. In the past two days, Watts has called Li Huan vigorously, what happened to Bayern today, how much transfer fees and signing fees Bremen will pay tomorrow, and even Chelsea in the Premier League and Real Madrid in La Liga have reached out to the mountain of Hoffenheim, saying that Mourinho is very interested in Li Huan, Li Huan is drunk and dying, and he can't wait to pull Watts's mobile phone number into the blacklist.

Watts said a little embarrassed: "It's not that I mess with you to arrange buyers, it's really too many clubs that are interested in you, your game is over, I can't help but let you know." ”

"Less nonsense, just say it, what's the matter? Don't say a good news or a bad news, ask me which one to listen to first? Li Huan said politely.

The two of them now know each other's tempers, and Watts doesn't care about it: "Put down the things in your hands first, it's not like that this time, there are three good news, which one do you listen to first?" ”

Li Huan said in surprise: "There are so many, you tell them one by one." Li Huan saw that there was probably no chance to leave, so he put everything down and made a pot of tea for Watts.
