The eight-in-four matches will be played on January 25 against Bayern Munich v Mainz, St. Pauli v Bremen, Karlsruhe v Stuttgart, Munich 1860 v Eintracht Frankfurt.

In this round of the German Cup, Karlsruhe showed super fighting power, with their midfielder Federico injured, they took out Bielefeld, a strong defender in the Bundesliga, at the same speed as chopping melons and vegetables, and this season's comet-like Chinese defender Li Huan became the dominant player in the game, scoring twice, assisting two goals, participating in all five goals, and also getting Bielefeld's defender Kof down. Before Christmas began, the Chinese gave Karlsruhe a generous gift. And after the game, there were more and more rumors about his transfer, Bayern, Stuttgart, and even his opponent Bielefeld were revealed to want this defender, just because their head coach Hesse said that no one disliked such a defender. In another German Cup game, another Chinese player, Shao Jia, also performed exceptionally, scoring a goal to drag Freiburg into extra time, and then an assist in extra time to give his team the lead. The Chinese players became Santa Claus in the run-up to Christmas to give gifts to German fans.

There are no other events before Christmas, several major media of the German team have focused on the German Cup, Bayern Munich played very average, Bremen's opponents adopted a policy of non-resistance, and they played really lacklusterly, Karlsruhe, St. Pauli, became the main object of media reports, this is also the first time that Li Huan and his Karlsruhe appeared in newspapers such as "Bild", "Kicker", "442" and "Mirror", especially Li Huan, who was favored by several giants, He has become a big meal for reporters to pass the dull day.

The newspaper with the largest circulation in Europe, Bild, said in its post-match report that Karlsruhe and Li Huan were commented on like this, "Bielefeld is like a Bundesliga team in front of them, Bielefeld's proud Maginot defense line has become an ornament, and the door guarded by Hain has been pierced by five goals, which is something that no team has done in the Bundesliga, if the director is a defender, there will definitely be many fans who are extremely surprised, if this defender is still an amateur player in China half a year ago, Fans will think it's a fairy tale, but that's all there is to it.

In fact, this defender has appeared very frequently in our footage and reports, for a player in the German Second Division, this is commendable, at the end of the halfway, let's review the miracle created by this Chinese defender in the German Second Division. As a defender, in addition to completing his defensive duties, he also scored 15 league goals, which is the top scorer for the time being, and 7 goals in the German Cup, no matter which country he gets, ask any fan, they will say, this is definitely a striker's statistic, but it is really a defender's achievement.

Karlsruhe are now top of the Bundesliga, eight points ahead of second-placed Bochum, and as long as there are no major surprises in the halfway title, they are set to qualify for the Bundesliga next year, and in the German Cup, Karlsruhe also reached the quarter-finals, and they have a lot of hope of winning the title in the upset German Cup. Now the defender named Li Huan has been favored by Bayern, Stuttgart, Bremen and other Bundesliga giants, and the low-level league of the Bundesliga seems to be unable to accommodate him, at most next summer, Li Huan will definitely leave the Bundesliga, or upgrade with Karlsruhe, or switch to other giants. ”

The reporter of "Kicker" was full of praise for the miracle of Karlsruhe, and Li Huan who created this miracle was full of praise, "Li Huan, who is majestic in the German Second Division, encountered the challenge of the Bundesliga team Bielefeld this time, before the game, fans, reporters and coaches want to see how Li Huan's strength is through this game, and now everyone understands that Li Huan can not only gain a foothold in the Bundesliga, but also the strikers of the Bundesliga cannot break his defense, and the defenders and goalkeepers of the Bundesliga still can't stop his attack." This is not the first time Li Huan has created a miracle, as early as the summer warm-up, he helped the team draw Bayern with one pass and one shot, and Bayern only paid attention to him from that time. Just after the halfway point of the season, Li Huan has scored 22 goals, including a shocking ultra-long-range hanging shot from 70 meters away, a long-range shot at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and he also scored a hat-trick for the second defender.

Through this game, the managers and managers of Bayern and Stuttgart will not hesitate any longer, they will definitely wave the cheque to Li Huan and Karlsruhe in the winter transfer, but now it seems that they will not get their wish, because Karlsruhe has a very high hope of qualifying, Li Huan will not give up the honor of leading Karlsruhe to the Bundesliga, even if he wants to go, he can only make it in the summer of next year. Karlsruhe can't keep Li Huan, they don't have money, they can't bring Li Huan the championship of the top league. When a team can't give its players credit and high salaries, betrayal is the final option. If he can be promoted to the Bundesliga, Karlsruhe may not keep Li Huan at all, and a huge transfer fee may be the best choice for Karlsruhe, which is still in an economic crisis. ”

The reporter of "442" compared Li Huan and Shao Jia's performance in this German Cup, "It also played a decisive role in the process of the team's promotion, but Li Huan is obviously more star-like, and his performance is more ornamental, from the perspective of China's players playing in the five major leagues, what can be compared with Li Huan's potential is Manchester United's striker Dong Fang, who has scored 9 goals in the Belgian second division this season and also scored a hat trick, but obviously compared with B and German B, Dong Fang's number of goals cannot be compared with Li Huan. Now that Li Huan has been playing football for a relatively short time, there are not many fans who know him, and I believe that this Christmas next year, Li Huan may have become a star all over the world. ”

China's domestic media are also vigorously reporting on this round of the German Cup, the original domestic media are more inclined to report on the Premier League, Sun Hai, Zheng Zhi these Premier League stars are the most popular among fans in China, they are the spiritual sustenance of Chinese fans, the pride of Chinese fans, even if it is to report on the German League, it will mainly be based on Shao Jia's Munich 1860, because the team where these people are located is more famous, they are all international players of the Chinese national team, they endorse a lot of businesses in China, and they have a good relationship with the media, But with the outbreak of Li Huan's almost blowout, the domestic media began to turn, when the "Weekly" and "Globe" sent overseas reporters to Karlsruhe to follow and interview Li Huan, there are more and more reports about Li Huan in China, and now there is a faint trend of overpowering Shao Jia.

For this round of the game, "Weekly" put the picture of Li Huan's free kick shot on the front page, and the TV station repeatedly broadcast Li Huan's two goals. "Ball Daily" and Shao Jia have a good relationship, but on the front page, the pictures of Li Huan and Shao Jia are juxtaposed, and the title is "German Cup China Doubles Strength"

Jia Lei, a European correspondent for the Weekly News, commented in the report: "Five to two! Karlsruhe swept Bielefeld in the Bundesliga. Li Huan lost his most powerful comrade-in-arms Federico, but his performance was even better, and with Martins' help, he completed a big victory against the Bundesliga team. In addition to long-range shots and free kicks are still domineering, in this game Li Huan also showed his delicate dribbling skills that are no less than those of Brazilian players, which is unimaginable to anyone, the game is halfway through, and the fans know that Li Huan is actually hiding his secrets, although we don't know why Li Huan has not shown his dribbling skills, but according to his friends, Li Huan's street ball is very beautiful, maybe this is the reason why Li Huan's figure of more than 1.8 meters can make so many delicate skills. In the game, Li Huan was shoveled behind the opponent's back Koff, but after the game, it was shown that he was not unusual, and the German media also strongly condemned Koff's bad foul behavior, believing that with the increase of Li Huan's fame, he will be more protected in the German Second Division. ”

Then the female reporter revealed the news that Li Huan was about to return to China, "After playing this German Cup, the team will usher in a holiday of nearly a month, and Li Huan is likely to return to China after Christmas, when Li Huan's fans will be able to see with their own eyes the little Li Feidao, who continues to create miracles." I will report the itinerary of this star to fans at any time, so that fans can have the opportunity to contact Li Huan as soon as possible. ”

The reporter of "Ball" reported on the game between Li Huan and Shao Jia in this round, and the reporter's evaluation of Li Huan was that "the magic continues, Li Huan has become the star of Karlsruhe, the soul of the team, and he has only been in Germany for half a year." Then the reporter talked about the problem of the national team, the reporter of "Football Daily" believes that the national team can not ignore such a player, although Li Huan is not as famous as Sun Hai, and is not as stable as Sun Hai, but Sun Hai is 29 years old after all, and the national team can no longer expect him to be able to gallop on the green field after four years, and now Li Huan's heart is cold, who knows what this player with a very unique surname will do. He has not played a game for the national team at the moment and has the qualifications to play for other countries, and the national team must abandon his personal hobby and quickly call the defender into the national team. ”
