Emily rushed to Germany again, in fact, she was quite busy during this time, but for the sake of her boyfriend's first league title, she postponed all her work and took a week to accompany Chu Zhongtian. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Emily's arrival obviously made Chu Zhongtian full of fighting spirit more than the championship prize or something, and when he got home, he saw Emily's warm smile, and the fatigue of a day's training was left behind.

But the most important thing is not to keep up with Emily, but to prepare for the final round of the league.

Chu Zhongtian has participated in the League Cup final, participated in the French Cup final, and participated in the UEFA Super Cup, but it is the first time he has competed for the league title, so this last week is a new experience for him.

Not to mention Chu Zhongtian, for the whole Hoffenheim team, for the whole city of Sinsheim, this is a new experience.

The small city of Sinsheim is now wrestling over where to celebrate after the team's victory. According to the tradition of German football, after the team wins the championship, they have to have fun with the people on the balcony of the local town hall, and most of the big cities in Germany have balconies, but small cities like Sinsheim do not have a town hall, but before Sinsheim did not expect that they would have a professional team here, and they could lift the Bundesliga championship so quickly.

It's obviously too late to repair the balcony, and it looks like the team's celebration has to be changed. The small square in front of the town hall is too small to accommodate so many fanatical fans - the residents of Hoffenheim have already spoken out that on the day of the victory, they will send the whole village out to celebrate the team, and the town hall square in Sinsheim alone will not accommodate the more than 3,000 people, let alone the Hoffenheim fans in the city of Sinsheim and beyond...... While the team was actively preparing for the final round of the league, the Hoffenheim club hierarchy was discussing with the city of Sinsheim that they should change the tradition and take a bus parade after being received by the mayor at the town hall and finally celebrate at the Rhein-Neckar stadium.

This option is the only one that is currently feasible. It is obviously unrealistic to rush to build a balcony.

The whole of Sinsheim moved for this championship, from the mayor to the common people. During this time, Hoffenheim's blue and white flag sold very well, and every household bought one and hung it on the window facing the street. The media who had travelled to Hoffenheim from all over the world to cover the final round of the league spread the news to the rest of the world, and the whole world knew that the small city of Sinsheim was going crazy for a German title.

"Blue and white" is now used to describe Sinsheim, as the blue and white Hoffenheim flag flies throughout the city.

"They are our pride!" The citizens of Sinsheim who were interviewed said excitedly. "They were the ones who made the whole world know about Sinsheim."

"I'm from Heidelberg, and I'd say my friends in London are friendly, but the only trouble is that none of them know where my hometown is...... I told them I was from Heidelberg, and I thought they all knew about the famous university town, but my friends didn't know where Heidelberg was. The only person I met who knew about Heidelberg was the director of SAP's London branch...... Now my distress is relieved, thanks to Hoffenheim. When I introduced myself again, I still said that I was from Heidelberg, but I would add later: 'I live on the same street as the Hoffenheim goalkeeper'. I was immediately the center of attention, and people would be impressed with me...... Despite the fact that in the UK, David Beckham and Cristiano. Ronaldo is the most recognizable star, but Hoffenheim's captain Chu, they are also familiar with it. I have a friend who also said he would like to go to Hoffenheim and I told him he might be able to do that next season if Hoffenheim were drawn against an English team in the Champions League, haha! ”

In China, because of Chu Zhongtian's relationship, a group of Hoffenheim fans have also appeared, and they have developed from paying attention to Chu Zhongtian to paying attention to the past of Hoffenheim's team, and thus liking this young and energetic team. Hoffenheim jerseys have also become a popular item for many buyers on Taobao in China, and children can already be seen playing in Hoffenheim jerseys on the football fields of many schools.

Hoffenheim receives countless letters from enthusiastic Chinese fans every day, and of course they give them many gifts in return, such as postcards signed by Chu Zhongtian and other players, scarves, jerseys and calendars with family photos of the players...... Hoffenheim's manager Schendermeizer mentioned the enthusiastic Chinese fans in an interview with the Chinese media, and he also said that the club is considering whether to play a match in China in the summer to thank the enthusiastic Chinese fans.

There are also domestic businesses that plan to spend money to invite Hoffenheim to China to play a few commercial games when they see Hoffenheim's reputation growing. They are now talking with Hoffenheim Club, once the operation is successful, I believe that the package will not lose, because Hoffenheim is not a big team like Real Madrid Barcelona, and will not open his mouth in the appearance fee, and Hoffenheim is an upstart in China and has a high popularity, plus Chu Zhongtian is unique in Chinese, and the gimmick of "new Bundesliga champion", which is enough to ensure that they earn back.

Every time Chu Zhongtian drove to Hoffenheim for training, he could see the house of Cornelia's family, and he noticed that a ladder had been erected outside the wall of the house, and tools such as paint had been transported to the roof. Although the game has not yet started, Cornelia and they have already decided that Hoffenheim will win the championship.

There is also one in Munich who also thinks Hoffenheim will win the title.

"Fritz, what are you doing?" Mom heard a banging sound above her head, and she ran up and knocked on the door and asked.

Abel didn't want his mom to know what she was doing right now, so he disguised himself, "Ah...... I'm nailing a nail in the wall, and I'm going to hang a picture......"

Then he continued to be in a hot mood to nail flagpole brackets to the windows.

When he was done, he hung up the Hoffenheim flag he had bought yesterday.

He felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched the blue-and-white flag with the Hoffenheim logo flutter in the wind outside the window.

Daniel had just finished his apprenticeship at the factory, and as he was returning home, he suddenly felt something in this familiar street, something he had never seen here before, and when he looked up, he saw a blue-and-white flag fluttering outside the second-floor window of a house.

He saw the Hoffenheim logo on the flag, which he recognized even if he wasn't a Hoffenheim fan, and the team had appeared in front of him many times this season.

He then found out that the person who was flying the flag was Fritz. Abel's home.

"Oh, what the hell!" He cursed. This kid is getting more and more rampant, and he couldn't do this kind of thing before...... A thought crossed his mind - the coward he had bullied before seemed to be undergoing a change. It can be seen from the time he made a bet with himself that day, he no longer lowered his head and spoke to his companions, and in the face of those vicious people, he was able to raise his head and look at them, although his eyes were still a little flickering, but it was not easy for the famous coward Abel to get to this point.

He heard that Abel secretly went to watch Hoffenheim's home match against Bayern Munich, and was taught a hard lesson by his mother for this. The change started with this game. Daniel watched the game on TV, and the result made him unhappy, but he still didn't understand the magic of a game that could make such a difference...... What did he experience at Hoffenheim? What changed him?

Daniel looked up at the flag in the window of Abel's room, puzzled.

※※※When you are preparing for something very important, time always flies. Hoffenheim practiced twice a day every day, training at the same intensity as usual, and by the time the players realised it was only one day away.

Today is the last training session, and after that, the players will take a bus to the Schalke district of Gelsenkirchen, where they will face a strong block from hosts Schalke 04 in the afternoon of the following day.

The match with Bayern can only be regarded as a pre-dinner red wine, and the match against Schalke is the main meal.

"Before today's training begins, there's someone who wants to be able to meet you." Head coach Rangnick pushed his glasses, and after saying that, he pushed them aside, and a figure walked from outside the training ground.

Someone in the line exclaimed, and then whistled.

"Hi brothers, long time no see." Dressed in casual attire, Ibisevic raised his hand and waved to his teammates.

"Can you go?" Sarikhovic noticed that Ibisevic was not on crutches and did not ask for help, so he walked over, albeit slowly.

"It's been a long time, Victor!" Weiss shouted. "How's your groin injury recovering?"

Everyone came up to greet Ibisevic and at the same time was concerned about his recovery.

Rangnick exclaimed, "All right, boys. Victor has something to say to you. ”

Only then did everyone quiet down and look at Ibisevic.

"I'm here to apologize to you, brothers." Ibisevic's first sentence surprised everyone - what apologies? Is there anything to apologize to us?

He ignored everyone's surprised expressions and continued. 'When I was in the hospital, I didn't want to have surgery, I fantasized that in a week or two I could be back on the pitch and help the team win the title. Even though I know how much damage it would do to me if I kept playing, I always felt like I wouldn't have won the championship without the team. Until Chu and Sayyad came to see me. They told me that the team is a whole and that it's a shame to be without me, but they will still try to fight for the title. And my thoughts are an insult to you who are still trying. I realized my mistake, so I decided to undergo surgery. Now I'm glad to see that you're only one game away from the league title, so I think I should come and apologise to you before that and ask for your forgiveness. ”

Everyone looked at each other, it turned out to be the case, but ...... Speaking of Ibisevic's apology, they feel deserved, because after Ibisevic's injury, there is indeed a pessimism within the team, feeling that the team's championship prospects are bleak and they are finished. But Chu Zhongtian used his personal experience to tell everyone that nothing is impossible in this world, and since an amateur team in the ninth division can defeat the powerful Premier League giant Chelsea, why doesn't Hoffenheim even dare to think about the idea of winning the championship? They didn't know what the Berserk was, but they all remembered the phrase - "The Berserk is a spirit, a never-say-die attitude."

If it weren't for Chu and his story, maybe they really wouldn't have been able to get to where they are today and then accept Ibisevic's apology here. So they felt that they were deserved to accept this apology, and the only person who was worthy should be Chu, their captain.

"Hey, this ......" Weiss touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Actually, we were a little frustrated after you got injured, thinking that winning the championship was no fun." It was Chu who restored our confidence. He pointed at Chu Zhongtian, and the others also nodded in agreement.

Chu Zhongtian smiled.

Ibisevic laughed and said to Chu Zhongtian: "It's you again." ”

Chu Zhongtian shrugged.

"Thank you." Ibisevic turned to everyone. "I can't go to Schalke with you for tomorrow's game, as you can see, my movement is still a little inconvenient." He spread out his hands, a little helpless. "But I'll cheer you on in front of the TV, brothers. I know Schalke 04 is a very good team, it's not easy to play against, I don't know what the game will be like, but no matter what, don't forget that we are all one. Hoffenheim doesn't have big stars, Hoffenheim is the biggest star! ”

The crowd applauded and whistled to thank Ibshevic for his pre-war mobilization.

"Well said, Victor! We are one! ”

"You wait for our good news at home!"

"Thank you, Victor." Rangnick walked up and patted Ibisevic on the shoulder. "Let's start training, boys."

A group of people warmed up in high spirits.

Rangnick said to Ibisevic, who was standing aside, "Thank you for coming and telling them this, Vidor. ”

Ibisevic looked at his teammates who were running in circles with the strength and conditioning coach and said, "Even if you don't look for me, I'll be back, coach." I've watched every game since I got injured and every game I have a lot of things in my mind that I want to tell them. But I've been worried about bothering them......"

"How so?" Rangnick laughed. "They are extremely determined, and there is nothing in this world that can interfere with them now."

Schalke 04 doesn't work either.

"Everybody is talking about Hoffenheim's title hopes and I think it's unfair to our lads. Schalke 04's interim head coach Biskens (michael_buskens) said this in an interview the day before the game.

The game hasn't started yet, but Schalke has already started psychological warfare.

Schalke 04 has experienced a change of manager midway this season and has not achieved good results, but is currently in seventh place and still has hope of competing for European qualification.

"We also need to compete for qualification in the UEFA Cup, we are not to be slaughtered."

The media in Gelsenkirchen turned up Rangnick's old scores, when he coached at Schalke 04 and led the club to a runners-up finish in the league and into the Champions League. But then because of the bad relationship with the big stars in the team, the club sided with the players when dealing with the matter, and Rangnick, who created the best league record in the club's history, was dismissed. This class hit him quite hard, and he was so disheartened that he planned to come to China to coach the Chinese Olympic team...... The media is clearly looking to influence Hoffenheim's head coach and thus Hoffenheim's performance. There are also media that Rangnick's most glorious period of coaching was the second place in the league at Schalke 04, and now he can't surpass this result at Hoffenheim, and he can only win second. "He's related to the second." The local media in Gelsenkirchen scoffed causticly.

Rangnick himself is quite open to this past.

In an interview with reporters, he said that the past should be passed, of course he misses the days at Schalke 04, but now he is also happy in Hoffenheim. Regarding the statement that he can only take the second, he also smiled.

It was Hoffenheim's players who were fighting for their manager.

"Second? Schalke 04 didn't even hope to win second. Weiss looked dismissive.

In response to the provocations from Gelsenkirchen, the media in Sinsheim also launched a counterattack. They also dug up the old accounts of Schalke 04, saying that Schalke 04 is an impersonal club, and it is exceptionally good to exclude dissidents.

Schalke 04 has always considered itself a big club, and the head coach who coaches the team should have dazzling qualifications and backgrounds, as for the coaching results are secondary. Last season, Slomka, as the head coach of Schalke 04, led the team to a good result, but in the eyes of the senior management of Schalke 04 club, this manager with neither qualifications nor reputation is very eye-catching. So a few hours after the fiasco to Bu Lai, he was dismissed.

In the eyes of the Sinsheim media, Rangnick's dismissal also felt this way. In the eyes of the Schalke 04 hierarchy, Rangnick has no name and no qualifications.

A war of words began in the media on both sides a few days before the match.

For Hoffenheim, they have experienced too many war of words this season, especially the first time they played Bayern Munich, the overwhelming war of words that lasted for more than two weeks gave all Hoffenheim players a baptism, so that these former rookies have learned how to deal with the opponent's psychological warfare.

Therefore, Schalke 04 can't interfere with Hoffenheim's players at all. They may face a tough game, but it has nothing to do with a war of words or anything.

As Rangnick said, in this final round, there is nothing in the world that can interfere with them.
