Time flies, and the Southern Division Regional League, which is in the third division, is about to kick off on August 5. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info It started earlier than the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, maybe you don't want to crash into the car with the opening of these two high-profile events, right?

Before the start of the tournament, although there will not be too much attention paid to such a league, as is customary, the famous German football media "Kicker" has made a comment on the teams in the southern division this season.

In the entire southern division, the most active and expensive transfer market is Hoffenheim, who finished fourth last season!

Last season, Hoffenheim spent as much as 150,000 euros in the transfer market, and at that time they still sold players to make some money, probably a net expenditure of about 100,000 euros.

And this season, Hoffenheim continued and increased their madness. Not only did the new coach Rangnick get rid of the team's redundant roster, leaving more than a dozen players on free transfers, but he also "buys out" more than a dozen strong players from different leagues in the transfer market.

The net expenditure on transfers is as high as 880,000 euros!

Maybe everyone will think that 880,000 euros is less than a fraction of the top star transfer giants, but this is the third league after all, or Germany, which has a very conservative price in the transfer market, 880,000 euros is not only proud of the entire southern league transfer market, but also has set a transfer record for the southern league!

You know, as we mentioned earlier, Hansa Rostock, who fell into the Bundesliga last season and last season, although they are ambitious to rush to the Bundesliga this season, they only spent 200,000 euros.

Spending more money is not an appreciable thing, though! In the commentary, "Kicker" said Hoffenheim in a joking tone: "I hope that coach Rangnick will not let the 880,000 euros go down the drain, he is leading Hoffenheim forward in the way of running a Bundesliga team......"

Of course, the attention of the third division has never been high, and "Kicker" is too lazy to comment too much. Instead, the regional newspapers debated the results of this year's Southern Division.

The Taunu Stein regional newspaper of Hesse, their sports section devoted a lot of space to criticizing Hoffenheim's transfer investment, and they said a little sourly: "Although Hoffenheim spent more than 800,000 euros on the transfer market, it will only be the SV Wayne team led by the old coach Vasco who will be promoted to the Bundesliga in the end!" ”

The Wayne team is their own team, so naturally they are cheering for it - although they are also envious of Hoffenheim's arrogance, SV Wayne also bought players this season, but compared to the ones sold, they still have net income, this is the difference!

Last season, Hoffenheim and SV Wayne were brothers, finishing fourth and third respectively, and the top two in the season are only promoted to the Bundesliga according to the rules of the regional league. So they can only sigh and sigh, and then continue to fight in the southern division.

Hoffenheim's own media can't sit still in response to the satire of the Taun Stein regional newspaper, and they are also making a big fuss about SV Wayne's poor transfer investment: "What's the use of promoting to a higher league when a team that can't even afford players? ”

"Is it just for a look? It's better to stay in the Southern Division, at least you still have the appearance of a strong team. ”

Sinsheim Sport sold well in the village of Ho, and while Beta was having breakfast in the dining hall in the morning, he listened to several chefs chatting, and they happily praised Sinsheim Sport's sarcasm about SV Wayne: "Or our Mr. Hope is generous, I really don't understand how a team that is not willing to invest in transfer fees can have the confidence to hit the higher leagues......"

However, these media storms and people's small talk can't affect Beta, what he is most concerned about now is the game the day after tomorrow, whether he has a chance to play!

In the afternoon, Rangnick gathered all the first-team players and arranged a small training session with only 30 minutes in each half. However, all the players were nervous, and they knew that this training match would be crucial to their ability to play in the opening match against Munich 1860 II at home on the 5th!

Beta was also slightly nervous, and he tied his shoelaces twice. Of course, his nervousness was only off the court, and after stepping onto the court, Beta regained his aloof face and threw himself into the game.

In this training match, Beta was still on the bench, and his position was relatively low, according to Rangnick's request, his central defender had to be dragged behind the whole team to stop the arrow man Marić who was attacking the main team.

Haas is the first time to enter the main team, his rival Spirasek is a bit unlucky, two days ago, the Czech unfortunately twisted his ankle in training, although it is not too serious, but the team doctor still recommends half a month of recuperation, so Rangnick weighed it and replaced Haas.

As for Loew's friend, Rapazinski, who also transferred from Hansa Rostock, although he also played in a central midfield position, but in previous training matches, he did not perform well and it was difficult to gain Rangnick's trust.

However, after the start of this training match, Haas appeared to be extraordinarily active, even a little overactive!

As a midfielder, he should pass the ball to the midfielder, with Salihovic and Tebel attacking in midfield. Haas, on the other hand, got up and down with long balls, kicking the ball straight to the back of the bench for Marić or winger Jochen Seitz to chase.

It has to be said that the effect is not bad, the defenders of the substitute team are still a little below the standard, and their defense is often broken down by Haas's sudden long passes.

Seitz has good speed, he receives the ball on the touchline and can attack quickly.

Beta initially adhered to his middle and didn't dare to chase Setz, but let Setz score a goal, and later, Beta had to increase his running, frequently rushing to the right to intercept Setz, and of course calling his teammate Zepek to help him fill in the position.

The effect cannot be said to be nothing, Beta had an effect on Seitz's defense, and the surprise attack launched by Haas was temporarily contained by him. However, it is inevitable that after Zepek passed the ball to Marić, Zepek couldn't prevent Marić and was scored a goal by Marić.

At the end of the first half, Rangnick, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally stopped Haas's attempt and praised Haas: "Long balls are a good idea, but don't ignore the quality of the other team's main defenders, who are better at keeping your high passes than our substitutes." ”

Rangnick didn't say anything, he felt that if Haas's footwork was better, this long pass might still be useful, but Haas's footwork was also average, and in the real game, there was no such wide space for him to pass the ball as the substitute team.

A long ball will stay in the air for a long time, and if it can't be passed, it will only be cut off by someone else's defender, and Marić will not have any attacking chances!

Of course, in order not to hit this young player, Rangnick spoke in a more kind tone and gave him a certain amount of affirmation.

"I said it! Focus, you can't even defend against attacks like long passes, how can I entrust you with a heavy responsibility? Why don't you all watch the game the day after tomorrow at home? Instead, Rangnick expressed his strong displeasure with the bench defense, and instead of praising Beta, who had a lot of credit, he scolded the entire defensive line.

This made Haas proud like a peacock spreading his tail feathers, and he held his head high and snorted triumphantly at the sweaty beta.

"You've been transferred frequently, and you're tired, aren't you?" Haas was secretly happy, "This is just the beginning!" ”

(Note, the transfer expenditure here is the entire expenditure of Hoffenheim this season, Xiaohan did not subtract the subsequent transfer and winter transfer expenses, so don't care about these details.) ）
