Chapter 69: Old Rivals, Old Tactics (1)

This time, Li Huan did not have a beautiful woman along the way, nor did he have an affair, and when he got off the plane in Munich, he only received a call from Li Bing, this little girl, Li Jing asked her to pick up Li Huan at the airport, but she was still angry with Li Huan, and only called Li Huan, saying that she was very busy with class and had no time to pick him up, so Li Huan said that she took it when Li Jing asked him. Li Huan was helpless about this little milk candy she loved, and dumped her with a sentence I can reach home with my eyes closed and still need you to pick it up, so he took the car back to Karlsruhe.

Li Huan was worried that Liu Yang would make a mess of his nest, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaoli's cousin to rent a house with his classmates, and Liu Yang openly lived with Yu Xiaoli, and he didn't come to live for a day during the winter break. Li Huan cleaned the house, went to the supermarket to buy some grilled sausages and beer, and turned on the TV to watch casually while eating, when suddenly a sports news caught his eye, in the first game of the German league, Hoffenheim defeated Mannheim 3-1 away, and the new coach Ralph. Rangnick scored his first victory since taking office. Li Huan was taken aback, because it is impossible to know the news of the German League in China, if it weren't for him and Shao Jia in the German Second Division, I am afraid that there would be no news about the German Second Division in China. He hurriedly called Watts, who in Baden was a jack of all trades. Watts didn't know Li Huan's intentions, and he told Li Huan lightly, Ralph. Rangnick's appointment as head coach of Hoffenheim was during the winter break, which was also a sensational news in Germany at the time, because Rangnick is the head coach of Bundesliga giants Schalke 04, coaching an amateur team, which is a joke and a fairy tale, but it is true.

Li Huan knew that Rangnick was coaching Hoffenheim, but the time was a little wrong, in his memory, Rangnick should coach Hoffenheim next season, and Rangnick also had an anecdote with the Chinese Olympic team, but now the time has suddenly advanced by half a season, and history has quietly changed. Li Huan pondered secretly, could this change be because of my crossing?

"Why did Rangnick suddenly choose Hoffenheim?" Li Huan asked, but what he really wanted to know was why Hope suddenly made a move in advance.

"What else could it be, because Hope had the money, he gave it to Ralph. Rangnick's greatest power, highest annual salary. Is there anything in this world that money can't do? "Watts, like most Germans, doesn't like Rangnick's rebellious behavior, young people can forgive, but a middle-aged man is a bit unacceptable, he doesn't have much affection for Hope, Germany is a country that pays attention to tradition and balance, you can know from the annual salary of German players, the salary structure of the Bundesliga is very balanced, not as high as the La Liga Premier League, but Hope gave Rangnick the same power as the Premier League coach, and now Rangnick is not only the manager, he is also a boss, Most Germans believe that Hope and Rangnick's approach will cause chaos in the German league.

Li Huan fell into deep thought after ending the call with Watts, history has changed, Rangnick joined Hoffenheim early, can he lead Hoffenheim to the Bundesliga this season? Karlsruhe is now in a good situation in the Bundesliga, Li Huan basically gave up his intention to join Hoffenheim, originally planned to join this rural team mainly because he was very optimistic about the potential of this team, hoping to use Hoffenheim to play a world, but now he led Karlsruhe to also achieve his goal, although economic problems are still a bottleneck restricting the further development of Karlsruhe, but with the current winning streak to enter the Bundesliga, there is almost no doubt, once promoted to the Bundesliga, No matter what the prospects of Karlsruhe are, Li Huan's fame and worth will definitely skyrocket, and it is not difficult to play the main role in giants like Bayern and Bremen at that time. Now Li Huan is just curious to know what kind of changes Hoffenheim will have after the change of history, and will the subsequent development be the same as his impression?

Karlsruhe's first training session except Federico all the players arrived, this training session is mainly for the second half of the first opponent Higan prepared, although Karlsruhe defeated the German B promotion 5:0 at home last time, but they played very difficult at the beginning, the opponent's stubborn defense tactics are very successful, if it weren't for Li Huan's free kick for them to open the scoring, maybe they were forced to draw by Higan in the end, this time they went to Higan's home stadium, the opponent may not necessarily attack, Halfway through the league, Karlsruhe was almost invincible, and the opponents of the Bundesliga, Bundesliga, Bundesliga, German B, and German third divisions were all swept by Karlsruhe, and in the face of such Karlsruhe, it is strange that Higan will attack at home. Hoss consulted with Becker and decided that Higan would definitely drive a stronger bus to block his door. So how to score the first goal was the key to Karlsruhe's pre-match training. Karlsruhe now have one less attacking Federico than in the first round, but Martins played well in the last win over Bielefeld and was able to replace Federico in general. And Higan has a terrible record in the first round, and is now in sixteenth place, the task of relegation is very heavy, and it is a victory to be able to get a point on Karlsruhe, and there is no doubt about their style of play and defensive counterattack, but judging from the number of goals they score, this team is not without any attacking power, and Karlsruhe cannot completely let go of the attack without considering the safety of the backline.

In training, Karlsruhe focuses on the practice of side crosses and middle grabbing, Li Huan has the ability to cross on the side, using Dundee's header and Ferres's grabbing point, maybe able to break the opponent's dense defense, if this set can not achieve goals, go to Madinis to strengthen the breakthrough in the middle, Martins also has a certain ability to break through, as long as he can create a good position of free kicks, the task of breaking the goal will be handed over to Li Huan to deal with. If you really can't strengthen long-range shooting, Li Huan and Capalani both have the ability to shoot from a distance, especially Li Huan's long-range shot, which is powerful and heavy, and the angle is tricky, which can pose a great threat to the opponent's goal. As soon as one is in, the rest of the game goes into the rhythm of Karlsruhe.

For such a game, Karlsruhe media also attach great importance to it, "City Daily" looked forward to the second half of the season before the start of the game, "After the winter break, the players in Karlsruhe have returned to the club in time to participate in the team's training, after a month of vacation, the players are in good spirits, but now for the players, it is important to find the feeling and rhythm of the game before Christmas through training, this year is the World Cup year, and the World Cup is being played in Germany, Both league and cup competitions end earlier than usual, meaning that double matches a week will become commonplace. If the feeling of the game is not right, it can cause unfavorable consequences for the streak. For Karlsruhe, the first round away to Higan was a good conditioning battle. After this round of matches, they will face a series of fierce battles, the German Cup against Stuttgart, the boss of the same state, the league against Bochum, and then a Chinese derby, Munich 1860's Shao Jia found his feel in the German Cup, and now gradually occupies the main force of the team. If the first game against Higan is not played well, it will have a great impact on the rest of Karlsruhe, so to speak, this game is also a game that Karlsruhe must win, once the points are lost, the score will be narrowed to five and six points by Bochum, and the next game against Bochum will give the opponents unlimited hope. ”

After Federico was gone, "City Daily" believed that the most important weapon for Karlsruhe to win was Li Huan's free kick, breaking the deadlock and locking the victory. During the winter transfer period, Li Huanwan declined the offers of Bayern and Stuttgart, but The City believes that the invitations of the two giants will bring great motivation and confidence to the Chinese, which will make Li Huan play better in the second half.

Higan's media are a bit pessimistic about this game, they believe that Higan and his opponent Karlsruhe are not in the same class, Karlsruhe obviously belongs to the Bundesliga, and Higan is in the Bundesliga, if they can't get a better record than the previous cycle, and finally returning to the Bundesliga is almost inevitable. Higan's media believe that the best outcome for Higan now is to try to get a point, which is not very useful for Higan, but in the crucial period of the final relegation, this point can come in handy, because only one team in the Bundesliga can now snatch three points from Karlsruhe's feet. In the last cycle, although the Higan team lost by five goals, but Higan's reporter believes that in the first half, Mai's tactical arrangement is still very reasonable, and he has a clear understanding of his own strength and the strength of his opponent, and he did not rush forward, but he also left a chance to exert his strength, but it is a pity that Karlsruhe broke the goal first, otherwise it was a successful tactical arrangement of Mai, if the first game is won, Higan's players have greatly increased their self-confidence, and may not fall to this difficult point. The current Higan team should be like the first leg, based on defense and counterattack, not because of the home game, the urgent need to score is rushed, otherwise the outcome is unimaginable, even the Bundesliga team Bielefeld has been poured five goals, Higan is a German second division promotion horse and what is embarrassed to play a counterattack at home.
