Chapter 210: Huo Village's nemesis

readx;

"I'm sorry, Chu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I think I'm going to ask this question anyway, I know you've answered it many times and heard it many times in recent times. That is, is Werder Bremen really not Hoffenheim's nemesis? ”

On the TV screen, the famous German football host Johannes. Kerner is interviewing guest Chu Zhongtian on his talk show.

After the TV broadcast asked this question, it gave Chu Zhongtian a big close-up of his face, capturing even the slightest expression change on his face when Chu Zhongtian answered the question.

Chu Zhongtian didn't have any expression change on his face, he was smiling before, but now he was just smiling, and even the curvature of the corners of his eyes and mouth didn't change.

He shook his head and smiled, "No. ”

"Really?" Kerner asked.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Really." ”

"But the results speak for themselves...... It's like you've always been good against Bayern Munich and have a better chance of winning – sorry, Mr. van Gaal, I didn't mean to make a point out of your team. As he spoke, Köllner made an apologetic gesture and expression to the camera.

The audience in the audience across from the audience burst into laughter. Bayern Munich had just lost to Hoffenheim in the German Super Cup, and Kerner was clearly rubbing salt in Bayern Munich's wounds.

Chu Zhongtian also laughed. He has no ill will towards Louis van Gaal and Bayern Munich, despite knowing that he doesn't like him much. But everyone was laughing, if he didn't cooperate, wouldn't it be too uneventful? At the same time, a smile can also send the viewer the message that we are not afraid of Werder Bremen, and we do not mind what people say about it. Because if someone mentions "Werder Bremen" to you, and you act angry, as if you have been offended by something, it only means one thing - you actually care about Werder Bremen, and you are afraid that they have lost their cool and sanity.

Just like Keegan when he was in charge of Newcastle, he was driven crazy by Manchester United, and suddenly shouted on a TV show: "If we beat them [Manchester United] I will be very happy, very happy!" I love the feeling of beating Manchester United! At the time, his side were still top of the league table, ahead of Alex Ferguson's Manchester United. As a result, under the pressure of Ferguson's continuous psychological offensive and step-by-step progress, the poor honest man collapsed, and there was a gaffe performance on the TV show, which has become one of the most classic scenes in the Premier League since its inception.

This classic shot was followed by Manchester United's comeback that season, beating Newcastle to win the Premier League. Keegan's "famous quote" was explained by the British Plain English Organization: "Manchester United beat Newcastle and they will win the title!" ”

So a public gaffe is a very bad thing, and it can even have a lot of catastrophic consequences - losing a league title is a disaster.

Chu Zhongtian didn't want others to grab the handle and say that he said one thing on his lips, but he actually cared very much about Werder Bremen in his heart. So he has to smile all the time, no matter what, the wind can't be lost. He is now a star, no longer a nobody who is not responsible for anything he says.

He is the captain of the team, the tactical heart of the team, known as the "manager on the field", and on many occasions he actually represents Hoffenheim, and he has to pay attention to his every word and expression. It's not that he has to hold his tail, but he has to know that he is responsible for every word he says. Just like when she was interviewed by "Sports Watch" host Monica. In the interview, Lillhouse said that his goal was to win the league championship, and he and his teammates worked hard to achieve that goal, taking responsibility for every word they spoke, showing that he was absolutely not talking nonsense, not grandstanding, and not running with a train in his mouth.

After the Bayern Munich joke, the host Kerner turned to look at Chu Zhongtian: "Just like what you did to Bayern, the media call you 'Bayern nemesis', why isn't Lemen not your nemesis?" ”

Chu Zhongtian kept a smile on his face and replied: "I have never felt that we are Bayern Munich's nemesis, so I don't think Werder Bremen is our nemesis either." ”

"But the results between you ......"

'Yes, the results don't look good, but that's what makes football so interesting. There are times when you play well and you can't win. Sometimes you perform badly, but you can win......" Chu Zhongtian repeated what he said to the Chinese media.

"I can understand how you feel. But no matter how you explain it, that's what the outside world thinks right now – Werder Bremen is Hoffenheim's nemesis. So I personally feel that the first round of the league is in the spotlight because of this, are you and your teammates ready to take any action to dispel that impression? ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "We will defeat them in this game." ”

His voice came through the television, slightly distorted, but clear.

Kellner whistled: "What a declaration of confidence!" Then I wish you all the best of luck. Of course, I don't mean to offend Bremen, I'm just looking forward to seeing a good game then. ”

※※※The day after the show aired, some media ran to ask Werder Bremen's head coach Thomas. Shaf, he said that he didn't watch that episode at all, and he didn't know what Chu Zhongtian said.

As the head coach, Schaaf is relatively calm. It's still a week before the league starts, so what kind of hype is it so early!

But Bremen's players are not willing to be lonely.

The centre-back told reporters: "I'm looking forward to my first league game against Hoffenheim right now. I've heard that statement. Hoffenheim's nemesis? I think it sounds interesting! ”

Nardó's attitude was arrogant, and the young Marin expressed his superiority in a different way: "Hoffenheim are strong, they are league winners, they also won the German Super Cup. But I'm glad we can keep up our winning streak against them so far! ”

The headlines in the local media in Bremen were also very provocative. What is the "Huocun nemesis", what is "Chu's only opponent that cannot be defeated", "Bremen has a psychological advantage"...... On Hoffenheim's side, everyone was satisfied with the captain's statement in an interview. They do care a lot about Werder Bremen, and Chu Zhongtian's "we will beat them in the game" declaration will more or less put some pressure on them, but it's better than saying "I don't think we can win", okay? The latter is too demoralizing.

Chu Zhongtian himself did not say this nonsense. The team has just won the German Super Cup, and it is Bayern Munich that has won, and the morale of the whole team is high. If you really want to break the embarrassing record of losing every game in Bremen, now is the best time to do so.

※※※ In such a noisy day, the first round of the German Cup came to an end, and Hoffenheim, who made up of substitutes and new players, beat their opponents Rostock 4-0 away.

Ruud van Nissterooy opened the scoring in the 14th minute before Hlosek set up Azawag for the second goal four minutes later. In the 28th minute, Quaresma scored Hoffenheim's first competitive goal in the game, extending the lead to three goals. In the 32nd minute, Pogatts scored with a header from a corner kick to set the score at 4:0. Before the end of the first half, Hoffenheim had already sealed the win, and the game was out of suspense.

In the second half, Rangnick brought on Ibisevic, Chu Zhongtian and Obasi to find the feel of the game and prepare for the first round of the Bundesliga in a week's time.

But it's not all good news. Although Chu Zhongtian's play was in the plan, the real reason was still a little helpless - Gago was injured in the game and could not continue the game, causing Chu Zhongtian to play ten minutes earlier than planned.

Rangnick and Chu Zhongtian didn't care about the extra ten minutes of physical energy, and Gago's injury was what they were most concerned about.

The day after the race, the results of the hospital examination came back. Gago suffered a 1st to 2nd degree biceps strain in his left leg and will need to be out of play for at least three weeks.

As Hoffenheim's most expensive transfer this season, Gago's injury list has not contributed much to the team, which is really frustrating.

But neither Rangnick nor the rest of the Hoffenheim fans were as frustrated as Gago.

He had hoped that he could prove himself again in a new place, so he was fearless even against Chu Zhongtian and Sana, the golden midfield pair of last season, and was willing to compete with them.

Unexpectedly, he lost to the injury first.

Gago's injury has cast a shadow over Hoffenheim's new season. After all, at present, in the position of the back midfielder, Vosa has been sold, Zucurini is still too young to be used, in addition to Chu Zhongtian and Sana, there is only Gago This is a player with enough strength, and his injury means that Chu Zhongtian and Sana cannot have any problems in the next three weeks.

There is no physical problem, but I am afraid of injury.

Injuries are unpredictable and unpredictable, and you don't know when it's going to find players.

Real Madrid, who have been ambitious this season, are currently suffering from injuries, with almost all players in the backline and midfield positions on the injury list.

Rangnick's luck is good at the moment, no one else is injured except for Gago, but who can guarantee that it won't be in the future?

The first round of the league is coming soon, and almost in the blink of an eye, the 2010-2011 season of the German Bundesliga is about to begin.

This season in the Bundesliga is full of expectations. The impressive performance of the young German team at the World Cup, coupled with last season's Champions League victory, in which Bayern Munich reached the Champions League final for German football, gives reason to believe that it is time for German football to re-emerge.

At present, German football is the healthiest football league in the world, the average attendance of the league is the first in Europe, and local young talents are also emerging, in the just-concluded World Cup, the German team is the only team with all the players from the domestic league, and such a team eliminated England 4:1 in the World Cup, 4:0 slaughtered a world-class team like Argentina, and won the championship, which is enough to show the level of the German local league.

With such a good performance, it is naturally worth looking forward to.

Although Khedira and Mesut Ozil transferred to Real Madrid, this still does not detract from the viewing of the German football league. They also have Thomas. Mueller also has Tony. Young rising stars such as Cross. Of course, we must not forget that Hoffenheim, who is full of vigor and momentum, and Chu Zhongtian, who is considered by Beckenbauer to be one of the five best playmakers in world football today!

Ahead of the new season, China Central Television (CCTV) aired a promotional video for the new season produced by the German league committee. The promotional film follows this line of thought - the storm of youth is the theme of the Bundesliga, and young players such as Chu Zhongtian, Muller, Kcloses, Marin, and Neuer have become the protagonists in the film.

Compared with other leagues, the Bundesliga has a little less stardom, but they are just as interesting. Like these wonderful young people.

At the end of the trailer, the subtitle is played: They are the hope of German football.

In a large group of young people in Germany, there is only one foreigner, and that is Chu Zhongtian. He certainly wouldn't be the hope of German football, but his performance was so good that the makers couldn't rule him out when making a trailer on such a theme.

The German media's outlook for Chu Zhongtian's new season is: "...... Under his leadership, Hoffenheim will hopefully go far in the Champions League. And going further has always been a sentence on his lips. This season we will see a more mature Chu, as can be determined from the performance in the German Super Cup. He is all Hoffenheim's hope for, so the club will do whatever it takes to keep him before the season starts. It's not uncommon to include club requirements in the renewal conditions, but it's generally the superstars and the absolute core of the team. From this, you can see how important Chu's role is......"

Leif, the host of the German premiere TV station who bought the broadcast rights of the Bundesliga, said: "I am very happy that Chu chose Hoffenheim and chose the Bundesliga. This allows us to enjoy his performance, and as he matures, he has a faint master's demeanor. ”

From being questioned and ridiculed at the beginning, to convincing everyone now, Chu Zhongtian has spent two seasons. No one doubts that Hope's 30 million euros is worth it, that's a stupid question. No one doubts whether Chu Zhongtian can become the second Beckenbauer and the second Summer, although his style is different from the two predecessors, but his role on the court is already a free man in the new era. He doesn't have to step forward from the scavenger position, and the zone defense of modern football is not afraid of his "numerical advantage" as one more person, but he has achieved another kind of "free man" with free improvisation of ordinary football and full-court running. Who says that free people can only copy the previous setting? The highest level of liberty officially does not stick to any previous format, and creates a football of its own. Just like Beckenbauer's development of the scavenger tactic at that time, it was all a break from the routine and a surprise.

The German media generally believe that even if Chu Zhongtian is called the "third free man", it is not unavoidable.

In the opening match of the new Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg 2-1 at home and temporarily topped the league. The game also somewhat relieved the pressure on the Bayern Munich players and helped them recover from the shadow of the German Super Cup defeat.

Next, the attention of the German public and the media turned to Hoffenheim's home match against Bremen.

The match was broadcast live to the world on German premiere television.

The day before the game, the media hype about the match had entered a white-hot stage.

Journalists, celebrities and players who supported both sides engaged in a war of words through the media, and the verbal exchange was not lively.

Bremen are trying to spur Hoffenheim on their winning streak against Hoffenheim, hoping to put psychological pressure on Hoffenheim and make them really psychological.

Hoffenheim said that if there is really any "Huocun nemesis", this game will be the day when the nemesis' nemesis dies!

On the afternoon of the match, outside the Rhine-Neckar stadium, such an attack could also be seen on the signs of fans on both sides.

In fact, compared to the hatred with Dortmund, the fans of Hoffenheim and Bremen are quite friendly. Therefore, everyone only used their own slogans to ridicule and attack the opponent, and did not directly attack or insult the phenomenon.

The rivalry between Hoffenheim and Bremen is more pure than what they do with Borussia Dortmund, and it has nothing to do with football, nothing else. Bremen fans are not envious, jealous and hateful Hoffenheim is richer than their boss and has better results than them, and there is no such situation as the heroes of their own club who feel that their self-esteem has been hurt when they are compared to Chu Zhongtian. The rivalry between Hoffenheim and Bremen has nothing to do with the replacement of the old and new forces in the Bundesliga, the decline of a dynasty and the rise of a new aristocracy, and the future of German football.

So the smell of gunpowder in this game exists only on the pitch.

Before the game, there were even shots of Hoffenheim fans and Bremen fans hugging each other and holding beer glasses, which made people deeply appreciate the cuteness of the fans.

Of course, these cute shots can't hide the competitiveness and fighting spirit between the players of the two teams. Bremen want to extend their winning streak against Hoffenheim, and Hoffenheim can't tolerate such an embarrassing record to continue anyway. Hoffenheim now have big ambitions, and they have their sights set on the Champions League, how can they allow the domestic league teams to insult themselves so unscrupulously? It's like being looked down upon when I was poor before, and then I became rich overnight and suddenly didn't want to face my miserable past. Werder Bremen is a knife stuck in Hoffenheim's heart, and every now and then he has to move to make the wound not heal for a long time.

If you can't beat Werder Bremen, Hoffenheim's worst self-esteem will always be there. This is clearly not conducive to their pursuit of bigger goals in the Champions League.

Both Chu Zhongtian and Rangnick saw this game as an opportunity to boost the team's confidence and move towards strength. How can a team aiming for the Champions League have a domestic opponent that it has not yet beaten?

Our journey is a sea of stars, and the unbearable bad things in the past will be buried!
