Everyone should introduce themselves so that their new teammates can get to know themselves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chu Zhongtian, as the captain, of course, had to be the first to do it. He had barely spoken, but before he could say anything, Sana interrupted him and said, "You don't need to be introduced. ”

Ibshevic, who was next to him, laughed. Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and Ibisevic hurriedly explained: "The two of them are old acquaintances in a sense, right?" They played each other many times when they were still in Ligue 1. ”

Chu Zhongtian also pointed to Sana and introduced to everyone: "Lorik. Sana. My first opponent in the first real game in Ligue 1. I was very impressed that he was playing one of our players at the time. ”

Sana smiled, "Now you have to thank me, Chu." If he hadn't been injured, you wouldn't have had a chance. ”

Chu Zhongtian shrugged: "You're right......

"Okay, let's introduce myself first." Sana is not afraid of life at all, and generously stood in front of everyone and introduced, after all, he is also the captain of Marseille, and such a scene is nothing to him. "My name is Lorik. Sana, you can call me Lorik or Sana, whatever you like. After speaking, he looked at Chu Zhongtian, "Is there anything else?" ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "That's enough." As for where you play, your style of play...... That's what Coach Lannick is interested in. ”

"Chu is right, we only care about you, ha!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Am I? I'm a very nice person! Sana grinned.

"I heard you're a butcher?" Not everyone in the squad is ignorant of the new teammate.

"That's me on the pitch." Sana said. "Of course, I'm a serious person about football. It's going to be a little more ferocious on the pitch......"

Someone laughed again: "Then you and Tobias must be good friends, haha!" ”

So the big guys laughed.

Sana's most familiar person in the team was Chu Zhongtian, and he asked Chu Zhongtian: "Who is Tobias?" ”

Chu Zhongtian pointed to the short man who spoke at the beginning: "The long one is very abstract." ”

"Hey! Clear! Weiss shook his fist in dissatisfaction.

Everyone laughed even more. Ever since Weiss was found out about looking for a mistress outside by his girlfriend and stabbed in the media, Weiss has often been teased by everyone. Don't look at him as fierce on the court, he is actually a very fun young man in life.

"Aha." Sana laughed along. He felt that Chu Zhongtian's description was really appropriate, Weiss's appearance, and to put it better, it was "abstract...... In fact, Chu Zhongtian had imagined how they would get along if Sana came. Although when I was in Ligue 1, I and the other party were not the kind of enemies who often spit on each other through the media, but every time we met them on the field, it was definitely like Mars hitting the earth, and no one wanted to admit defeat. It's definitely not a friendly relationship, is it?

But now it seems that Sana is really a good person to get along with off the field.

It is said, it is just said that when Liverpool was interested in Sana, Benitez went to the Dutch old Liang Cendeng, who had played for Liverpool and now played in Marseille, and asked him to consult Sana in detail about the reputation and popularity of the team, as well as his character.

What Cen Deng said to Benitez, Chu Zhongtian obviously didn't know, because it wasn't said on the news. But from the current point of view, being able to be the captain of the giant club of Marseille, especially as the captain of the former Paris Saint-Germain player of Marseille's sworn enemy, shows that his prestige in the eyes of his teammates is still quite high, and his popularity is also good.

I just don't know if such a player, who is the captain of the giant Marseille, will be willing to come to Hoffenheim to help himself...... After a long, long time, Sana knew Chu Zhongtian's doubts at the beginning, and he only said one sentence to Chu Zhongtian's doubts: "I'm a professional player." Chu Zhongtian had nothing to say, because this was the best and most appropriate answer.

In short, the atmosphere of the first meeting between Sana and the whole team was very harmonious, Sana is not the kind of person who is fierce on the field and looks like a villain off the field. In addition, he and Chu Zhongtian also know each other, and with Chu Zhongtian as his translator, it is not too much of a problem to communicate. Sana is the captain of the Albanian national team, but he is a Kosovar from the former Yugoslavia, and as an Eastern European player, he will have some ties to Germany, so he has no problem learning German, and there is no need to worry about the language barrier.

After getting to know everyone, Sana is officially a member of the Hoffenheim team.

※※※ As the captain of the Ligue 1 giants Marseille, Lloric . Sana doesn't need to prove anything to the German media and the world, so his joining is not as widely questioned by the German media as Chu Zhongtian's joining. Ten million is not much for Hoffenheim. If they could shell out €7 million for a 31-year-old centre-back, it makes sense to pay $10 million for a Marseille captain in his prime. The media is just worried about whether Sana will eat too many cards after he comes. You must know that Gustavo was abandoned by Rangnick because the ball quotient was not good enough, he was always habitually impulsive on the field, and he received a red card at the most critical time at the end of last season.

Hoffenheim have spent €40.6 million this summer after buying Sana, and although they haven't broken last season's record, they are already the most money-burning club in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich so far this summer. Bayern Munich signed a number of transfer agreements at the end of the season, 11 million to buy the captain of Zenit St. Petersburg, defender Timoshchuk (anatoliy_tymoshchuk), and then 30 million to buy Stuttgart's leading goalscorer Mario. Gomez has basically confirmed the identity of this season's transfer king.

'Hope has shown that he is ambitious and that he does want to take his team far in the Champions League. Germany's Kicker magazine commented.

Having bought the man he wanted, Rangnick focused on honing his new tactics for the team at Leogun. Next season, the team will not play 433, which is a serious offensive and defensive imbalance, and 442 is king. The team's tactics will be developed around Chu Zhongtian, who has absolute autonomy on the pitch, which is also reflected in training - he is the only player who can discuss tactics with the coaching staff.

This is also Rangnick's idea, he thinks that involving Chu Zhongtian in the development of the team's tactics can help him understand the team's tactics better, and at the same time, the team's coaching staff can also understand his ideas, and the two sides can integrate in order to achieve the most perfect and tacit understanding.

And Lorik. Sana, who has only been reporting to the team for two days, participated in a warm-up match with the team.

Hoffenheim against Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce. Hoffenheim also played a Turkish powerhouse in last season's pre-season fixture, beating Galatasaray 2-1 at home.

This time, they beat Fenerbahce by the same scoreline.

Tracino, the rising star of the striker who scored last time out against Galatasaray in the last minute, scored again in this game.

Fenerbahce scored first, and in the 70th minute, Eduardo passed the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and the post-90s teenager Tracino scored in front of the goal to equalize the score.

Six minutes later, Ibisevic, who had just come on as a substitute, took the lead with a long-range shot from 24 meters out!

It was also Hoffenheim's first goal in the game since returning from injury.

After he scored, everyone ran up to him to hug and congratulate him on finally scoring a goal. Especially such a beautiful goal, it proves that the injury has not made him down, and everyone is happy for him. And Ibisevic's successful comeback is tantamount to adding another strong reinforcement to the team, and Rangnick is also very happy.

Sana and Chu Zhongtian started in this game, and his task before the game Rangnick explained very simply: "Protect space when defending, and protect football when attacking." ”

Sana has done a decent job, considering he's only been with the team for two days and he's only been training for a day, so it's already good to have such a performance. Because he didn't work well with the team, his role was mainly in the midfield defence, and he repeatedly used ferocious tackles and tireless runs to erect a barrier in front of the back line.

Rangnick was happy with everything else about him, but he felt that he had too many tackles, which made it easy to get cards.

So after the game, he called Sana to his side alone: "Lorik, you have too many tackles, are you considering reducing some of these ferocious moves?" I don't want you to spend a lot of time in the stands all season. ”

Sana nodded, "I'll take notice, Mr. Coach." Actually, I don't have many tackles in a game, often just a little more when I just kick off, and I pay attention to it later. ”

Rangnick was puzzled: "Why is that?" ”

"Coach, do you watch basketball?" Instead of answering Rangnick's question, Sana asked rhetorically.

"Me? It's okay...... Not very often watched. ”

"Bill. Does Russell (bill_russell) know? ”

Rangnick nodded: "I've heard of his name. ”

"He's a well-known defensive guru in NAB history. There are a lot of things to say about him, but I like this one the most: 'Russell's role is not to block every ball, but to make every shot think he's going to block it.'" With that, Sana smiled at his new manager. Me too. ”

Rangnick was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the video of Sana's game he had watched, and the performance of today's game, it was indeed like this, he was always fierce after the opening, and there were many movements that made people feel that their legs would be kicked off, but after ten minutes, his performance began to gradually "gentle" - this gentleness was of course for his initial ferocity, in fact, even if he was gentle, he seemed to be a fierce player in the eyes of most people. More often than not, he doesn't rely on ferocious tackles and rude rams, but on reasonable positioning and anticipation, as well as ...... The opponent made some voluntary mistakes after seeing him.

Lyon's Juninho once said that the last opponent he wanted to face in Ligue 1 was this "killing machine". In fact, it was he who had a few tackles that were fierce enough to cut Juninho's career to a halt, and scared the Brazilian.

Sana's strength is not in these threatening tackles that go at the opponent's knees and ankles, but in his fighting spirit, his fighting spirit, his spirit of not giving up until the last minute. His captaincy of Marseille was not based on tackles, but on these precious qualities.

Rangnick smiled helplessly, "Okay, but you still have to pay attention to your movements." Even if you're just trying to threaten your opponent, if you give the referee the impression that you're a dangerous person, you're done. ”

Sana nodded in acceptance: "I know, coach. ”

After solving this problem, Rangnick asked again, "What do you think of Chu?" ”

"Good." Sana replied.

"I heard that you were once rivals?"

"The opponent on the football field ......," Sana laughed. In fact, he still looks good when he laughs, and if he shaves his beard, he is a handsome guy with a beautiful face. "Well, a good opponent. He's amazing. ”

Sana had such a high opinion of Chu Zhongtian, if Chu Zhongtian knew, he would be surprised.

'My tactics actually demand just as much from you as I do from him, because most of the time you have to be at the back and secure in front of the backline.

Sana confidently said: "It's not a problem, coach. ”

Now that we're talking, let's talk a little more, Rangnick also wants to get to know this new player who has an important place in his tactical plan, and also let Sana know a little bit about his own tactical thinking.

"Last season we played 433 and our attack was the strongest in the Bundesliga, but our defense really didn't match the identity of the Bundesliga champions."

Rangnick was talking, and Sana nodded to indicate that he was listening. Of course he knew that Hoffenheim's defense was not very good, otherwise they wouldn't have come to him.

"There are two people in the midfield who can really defend, one is Chu and the other is Weiss. But Weiss has to play on the wing, more often than not he can help defend on the wing, and he has to attack. Chu's defense is good, but if he is allowed to concentrate on defense, his offensive ability will have to be sacrificed. In fact, the new season is similar, because Chu will be on the offensive most of the time, and the defense mainly depends on you alone. ”

"No problem, Coach."

"How are you going to get it done?" Rangnick asked.

"Like Bill. Russell is the same, coach. Sana said.

Rangnick thought to himself, this is what is called deterrence...... When the players of the whole league realized that Sana was a threatening butcher, in fact, he no longer used those threatening defensive moves, and he could still have a defensive effect.

He thought to himself that Sana, as the captain of Marseille and a player who has played in the professional league for so long, should not be as easily confused as the young Gustavo in this regard. Since he has his own way of playing, let's wait and see what effect it can make.

After the match against Fenerbahce, Hoffenheim returned to Germany after their training camp in Leogang. On their home turf, they have one last warm-up game against La Liga side Getafe. After this game, Hoffenheim will not have any warm-up games, and Rangnick will also have to make final adjustments to the problems exposed in the warm-up games, so that the team can better adapt to the new tactics and new style of play. He doesn't have much time to spare, as the Bundesliga kicks off in mid-August.

At the same time, the team's entry list for the Champions League and Bundesliga has been reported, and if nothing else, the name on the list is the full strength of Hoffenheim for the new season (attached at the end of the list chapter). The players' numbers have also been reassigned.

On the other hand, because the team successfully won the Bundesliga title last season, and there were frequent big moves in the transfer market before this season, buying star players such as Simunic and Ruud van Nistelrooy, so the team's season ticket sales are very hot.

On July 26, Hoffenheim officially announced that all 20,000 season tickets had been sold out. The remaining 10,000 tickets will be allocated to the visiting fans, ranging from 6,000 to 3,000, in addition to some tickets that have been sold before the game.

Such ticket sales have made the media lament Hoffenheim's current popularity.

"When Hope planned to build the Rhein-Neckar, he felt that 30,000 people would be enough, because Sinsheim only had 30,000 people. But now he must regret why he didn't just build a bigger one in the first place. As long as Hoffenheim continues to develop like this, it won't be long before the Rhine-Neckar Stadium expands. Maybe Hope will have to think about building a new stadium – he's got the money anyway, and the Rhine-Neckar will be the shortest-lived home stadium......

Despite the financial turmoil in Europe, Hope's assets have shrunk. But Hoffenheim's boom in ticket sales and merchandise sales could give Hope a snack – the team is moving towards "even if one day Dietmar is going to be able to do so." Hope went bankrupt, or he lost interest in Hoffenheim, divested and stopped playing, Hoffenheim could still run his own business".

After all, Hope is sixty-one years old, and he will die one day, but Hoffenheim is already one hundred and ten years old, and she will continue to live for another hundred years.

In Dietma. Hoppe's office at the Hoffenheim training ground, which is unsigned, has added a new photo next to the old black-and-white photo on his desk, which is the scene of Hoffenheim lifting the Bundesliga championship trophy at the Schalke Stadium last season, in which the captain Chu Zhongtian is holding the trophy, and behind him are many Hoffenheim players in white away jerseys, as well as streamers flying in the sky.
