With five wins in a row, they remain in first place in the standings and lead the Bundesliga. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info all of this has brought Hoffenheim back to everyone's attention, and even from other countries around the world.

The Hoffenheim players have met French and English-speaking journalists outside the training ground.

Winning streak and finishing top three in a row has also made Hoffenheim's players well-known throughout Germany, many of whom were nothing when they joined Hoffenheim, but are now familiar not only with the fans, but also with the scouts and managers of the Bundesliga teams.

There was already a long queue at the Hoffenheim liaison officer's office, with journalists from all over the world crowding into the village to find out why the small team had been at the top of the Bundesliga for three consecutive rounds. What is the secret of Hoffenheim's success?

Rangnick had to devote a lot of energy to dealing with overzealous reporters, and even Mr. Hope, the investor who had been hiding behind the team, was frequently seen in front of the camera.

Rangnick didn't think the atmosphere was right.

Everyone seems to be starting to talk about what happens after May next year.

In order to cool down everyone, he specifically said in an interview with reporters: "I don't think about May now, I just want to play the next game." ”

His idea was good, but unfortunately, in the midst of the praise, no one noticed Rangnick's painstaking efforts.

Even Chu Zhongtian was immersed in this great success. Why did he behave like this? Because the pressure he was under was too great...... When he announced his move to Hoffenheim, almost the whole world was questioning whether he still had a brain. No one believed that he had made the right choice, and everyone felt that he was bound to fall, a classic example of abandoning his future for the sake of money.

He was silent in the midst of the controversy, knowing that no one would believe him no matter how much he said, that words were far less powerful than actions. He would rather do it for them than waste his tongue explaining it.

Now Hoffenheim has become the biggest dark horse in the Bundesliga in the new season, with five consecutive wins, the most goals scored in the Bundesliga, the most shots on goal in the Bundesliga, the most scoring opportunities created in the Bundesliga, the strongest ability to put pressure on opponents in the Bundesliga, the highest number of players violated in the Bundesliga, the highest rate of turning chances into goals in the Bundesliga, the most wins in the Bundesliga, the lowest average age in the Bundesliga, and the highest ranking in the Bundesliga...... These figures illustrate what the team has achieved in the opening eleven rounds of the Bundesliga.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian just wanted to enjoy his own success. This is a kind of venting psychology after being suppressed for a long time. He doesn't want to think about anything but to enjoy the victory.

Hoffenheim have won five in a row and are getting more and more liked for their fast, aggressive football. Although there are still some slogans insulting them and their owners in the stands away from home, the 26,000-seat Karl Benz Stadium is now full at every home game. In addition to the places reserved for the visiting team, almost every home game, 22,000 fans come to cheer Hoffenheim on.

The "village" of Hoffenheim has only 3,300 indigenous people, but Hoffenheim's beautiful football has already attracted fans from Mannheim, Sinsheim and other places around the country to watch their games.

And more and more fans came to see them train, and in addition to the local situation in Hoffenheim, there were many people who drove from their cities to watch Hoffenheim practice.

Chu Zhongtian met an elderly couple living in Stuttgart, who drove to Hoffenheim in a car to ask Chu Zhongtian for an autograph and group photo.

With the team's excellent performance, Chu Zhongtian has also been liked by many German fans. is different from when he was in Metz, at that time, Chu Zhongtian had to rely on his patient attitude towards the fans to win the love of some fans. Here, he's still patient, and the fans like him because he's playing well.

Thirty-four goals have been scored in 11 league games, and Hoffenheim's performance is inseparable from their strong midfield. In the midfield, Chu Zhongtian's role is very obvious. One statistic illustrates the point: Hoffenheim have created 48 of the number of great goalscoring chances they have had in 11 league games. This figure is currently the first in the Bundesliga.

And most of these opportunities were created by the midfielders, among which Chu Zhongtian, as the core of the team's attacking organization, contributed a lot.

Many German media have commented that Chu Zhongtian's football is refreshing - "When he gets the ball, you always look forward to what he will do next." I never worry about him conceding the ball, it's a rare sense of security. ”

“…… The speed at which he adapts to the team is amazing. Now he is the brain of Hoffenheim, 69% of Hoffenheim's goals come from his feet, sometimes he organises, sometimes he assists, and sometimes he comes up and scores! ”

Thanks to his recent success, Chu Zhongtian has been awarded a long-awaited commercial sponsorship contract – and the blue whirlwind of Hoffenheim is blowing not only in Germany, but also in China. After re-evaluating Chu Zhongtian's commercial value, Chinese state-owned enterprises believe that it is a good time to ask Chu Zhongtian to endorse him.

So after Xu Xiaodi's leadership, Chu Zhongtian and a domestic casual wear brand reached a cooperation agreement, and the two sides signed a two-year endorsement contract, and Chu Zhongtian will receive an endorsement fee of 5 million yuan per year in these two years. And his task is to promote the brand to the world, and on most occasions, he has to wear the brand clothes in front of the public and the media.

This is Chu Zhongtian's first commercial endorsement contract after joining Hoffenheim, which is of great significance, and it is not about the money itself. This shows that those merchants have renewed their confidence in Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian's agent team can take this result to say to other companies that are still hesitating: "If you don't do it again, Chu Zhongtian will be snatched away by your competitors!" ”

Emily is also happy for Chu Zhongtian, because this contract proves that Chu Zhongtian's commercial value has not been affected too much. She took the good news to her mother, but Miranda pouted with some disdain: "It's just a Chinese company." Our goal is all over the world! ”

Emily argued, "That's a good start, isn't it, Mom?" ”

Miranda glared at him, "You can help her talk!" ”

Emily stuck out her tongue.

※※※The German league has entered November, and the selection for October has also been released. The Kicker magazine has unveiled the results of the Bundesliga's best player of the month of October, and for the first time in its history, there are three nominees from the same club: Ibisevic, Obsi and Demba. All three of them were selected at the same time. In the end, Ibyševic was elected with 63.82 percent of the vote on consecutive goals, which also gave Hoffenheim the first Bundesliga player of the month in history. In the first two months of the season, Bielefeld striker Vihniarek (artur_wichniarek) and Bremen midfielder Mesut Ozil won respectively.

The selection is made by phone calls and online voting, as well as by the captains of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga. Ibisevic's election is not in doubt. He scored six goals and provided three assists in the five league games he played from October 4 to November 1, increasing his tally to 13 in the first 11 rounds, five more than Bayer Leverkusen strikers Helmers (patrick_helmes) and Vehnyarek behind him. There have been three times in the history of the Bundesliga where a scorer has scored more than 13 goals in the first 11 rounds. Muller's fifteen goals in 1968-69 and fourteen in 1976-77, as well as Hertha Berlin's striker Erich Berlin. Beal's fourteen goals in the 1975-76 season.

Hoffenheim stuck with a three-striker approach in October, with Ibisevic's two partners, Obbasi and Demba. Pakistan received 23.48 percent and 12.7 percent of the votes, respectively. The duo's record in the last five rounds is five goals, two assists and four goals and one assist. Obasi is from English-speaking Nigeria, Demba. Originally from French-speaking Senegal, Ibisevic, a player who went to college in the United States and played in Ligue 1, naturally became the big brother and translator of the front trident. While Obasi and Demba. Ba, Eduardo, and others are all taking German lessons, but they are not language geniuses like Chu Zhongtian, so they still need someone to translate...... Chu Zhongtian did not make the shortlist for the best player, but he did have a frustration - his best period happened to be in late September and early October, when he scored in three consecutive league games, against Borussia Dortmund, against Werder Bremen and against Eintracht Frankfurt, he almost dominated the game. But both sides can't be along, he is almost the best selection in September, and he is still a little worse in the best selection in October.

Although Hoffenheim won all four games in October, scoring 13 goals and conceding four, Chu Zhongtian has made great contributions, but who tells everyone to pay more attention to the players who have scored? Unless Chu Zhongtian can both pass the ball and score in person, this month's best can find him.

Ibisevic clearly understands the importance of Chu Zhongtian, and he is a little dissatisfied with the fact that everyone only focuses on their strikers but ignores the midfielders, so after winning the Player of the Month award, he said in an interview with reporters: "I dedicate this award to my midfield teammates, it is because they keep creating scoring opportunities that I can score thirteen goals. There is only one best player, if I had to choose, I would vote for Chu, he is the real best! ”

Ibisevic knew very well that Chu Zhongtian voted for him in the best selection, so he wanted to thank Chu Zhongtian specifically and name him.

Chu Zhongtian, as the captain of Hoffenheim, has the right to vote in the selection. At that time, he did not hesitate to vote for his old teammate from Metz, Ibisevic. This is not a matter of favoritism, as Ibisevic's election is well deserved, and no one in the team has questioned or expressed dissatisfaction. Obasi and Demba. Although they are both candidates, they have no complaints and congratulate Ibshevic as soon as he is elected.

※※※ This period was all good news for Hoffenheim, as the candidates for the Player of the Year in October were all from their teams, and they held the top spot in the Bundesliga table for three consecutive rounds, and many media outlets flocked to praise them...... Hoffenheim's players also thought they would win the league title at the end of the season. Bayern didn't take it seriously.

In such a situation, the team's main left wing-back Ibetzberger suffered a muscle fibre tear in training, and it is not known how long he will be out of action. But the team doctor said that at least don't think about the next round of the league.

Since the start of the league, Ibertsberger has been the team's main left wing-back. His absence has had a big impact on the team's backline.

Rangnick didn't have a good replacement, so he decided to replace the defense with offense. In the next round of the match against Hertha Berlin, the team will still be required to keep attacking and putting pressure on the opponent. Especially on the Ibertsberger side, Rangnick did not ask Salihovic to assist in the defense as usual, on the contrary, he asked Salihovic to keep attacking, and he even asked the team to use the left wing as the main attacking direction in the game, trying to suppress Hertha Berlin's attack on this side, so as to provide security for his team's left side defense.

Other than that, Rangnick didn't make any adjustments.

Today's Hoffenheim is a bit of a target. All opponents are studying them, trying to find a way to contain their frenzied offensive. In fact, there is no way, but not everyone can do it easily.

Hoffenheim's offense was frenzied, but there were hidden dangers in their defence. Although Chu Zhongtian is a defender with excellent defense, he still has to take care of offense, and he can't put all his energy into defense, not to mention that defense is not his business alone. At the same time, Hoffenheim has so far insisted on the single-back tactics, no matter how powerful Chu Zhongtian is, he will always take care of one or the other, unlike when he played in Metz, there was a Proman next to him to provide protection for him, in Hoffenheim, because there are too many attacking players, and Gustavo, who is also a back midfielder, has no chance to play at all...... As long as there are teams that can be more frantic than Hoffenheim's attack and can put a lot of pressure on their defence, then they will be able to see Hoffenheim open the door.

It's easy, right? But even crazier than Hoffenheim's offense? That's not very common...... Hertha Berlin clearly knows this method and is working hard to achieve it in the game.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides entered a very fierce battle. If you can't be more crazy than Hoffenheim offensively, at least be crazy in physical confrontation and scrambles.

Just ten minutes into the game, Hertha Berlin received two yellow cards, one of which was for a foul on Chu Zhongtian by a Hertha Berlin player.

Chu Zhongtian is now the offensive and defensive core of Hoffenheim, and everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian must be defended very tightly, and most teams will arrange a player to follow Chu Zhongtian inch by inch. For this kind of treatment, Chu Zhongtian is already accustomed to it.

Usually, in addition to one player who has been following him unexpectedly, there are also people who constantly violate themselves. That person may be the one who has been following him, or maybe the other players of the opposing team, who take turns to play in order to share the pressure of eating cards.

In the eleventh round of the league, Hoffenheim was violated by opponents 235 times, while Chu Zhongtian was violated as many as 87 times, accounting for one-third of the team. The more times he was violated, the more he proved the importance of this player. Before the media could characterize Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian's opponents had already regarded him as the "most threatening player".

Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian was physically strong and had excellent physical fitness, otherwise he would have been stretched on a stretcher by these opponents.

Despite the fierce pressing of the opponent, Chu Zhongtian still instigated a threatening offensive for the team in the ninth minute. He sent a through ball and Ibisevic was successfully countered offside. Hertha Berlin's goalkeeper Drobny struck in time to defuse the crisis ahead of Ibisevic.

After that, Hertha Berlin strengthened its defense of Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian dropped back to become a midfielder, handing over the task of the final pass to Salihovic and Eduardo in front, who was mainly responsible for controlling the team's tempo.

It worked, with Hoffenheim attacking throughout the first half, posing a huge threat to Hertha Berlin's goal.

Everyone thought that if this continued, Hoffenheim would be able to get another victory, and they would win six in a row to continue to dominate the top of the table.

Hoffenheim continued to attack in the second half, but their goal was breached in the 70th minute by Hertha Berlin's Ukrainian striker Volenin (andriy_voronin).

Hoffenheim, who were behind, launched a frantic counterattack. Hertha Berlin, on the other hand, began to defend steadily on the counter-attack, and Hoffenheim showed their immature side in this game, and the lack of change in rhythm made it easier for opponents to defend. Chu Zhongtian also tried to shoot from a distance, but his shooting form was really not good today, not only did he not score, but he did not pose any threat to Hertha Berlin's goal.

Hoffenheim kept pressing on the attack and tried to equalize, but it turned out that Hertha Berlin seized the opportunity to score another goal and rewrite the score to 2:0.

Although Hoffenheim used a direct set-piece in the final moments of the game to pull a goal back on Eduardo's goal, it was only to save face and had no impact on the game.

Hoffenheim were eventually defeated in Berlin and their six-game winning streak was put to an end.

Not only that, but it was even worse, because it was the last game of the Bundesliga and the day before, Hamburg had already won 2-1 at home to Borussia Dortmund, so Hoffenheim had lost three more league titles...... Hoffenheim's defeat has given some a sigh of relief – they don't want to see a nouveau riche team really become a title contender. They are willing to appreciate Hoffenheim's beautiful style of play, but they hope that the title will still belong to the big clubs.

Hoffenheim can do a good job of being a spoiler.

They won't be the main characters, but they will certainly be the most popular villains.
