Hoffenheim were still looking for a striker ahead of the game against Ivbus and they contacted Danish striker nicklas_bendtner Bendtner, who couldn't play at Arsenal, and Arsenal agreed, but Bendtner refused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In his opinion, the move from giants Arsenal to Hoffenheim, a country side in Germany, is not a good idea. He would rather stay at Arsenal and wait for his chance under the competition of Robin van Persie (robin_van_persie), Bam Adebayo (emmanuel_adebayor), and at the same time have the Mexican talent Carlos, who is younger and more talented than him. Bella (carlos_vela) and Eduardo "Fox of the Forbidden Zone".

Rangnick is very sorry that he did not take Bendtner, who he thinks will have no chance of staying at Arsenal, and Arsenal have bought Arshavin (andrey_arshavin), which is completely bad news for Bendtner. The former Danish prodigy was only able to spend his time on the bench, making a dozen appearances and scoring a few goals in a season.

Without signing Bendtner, and with the transfer market closing close, Hoffenheim can only dig inside. Remember the young goalscorer Marko who scored the winning goal in the last minute against Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray in the summer warm-up match. Traccino (marco_terrazzino)? At just 17 years old, he was promoted to the first team, replacing the injured Wellington as the team's fourth striker.

At the same time, the team also signed Ivory Coast striker Sanogo (boubacar_sanogo) on loan from Bremen, and the 26-year-old Ivorian moved to Werder Bremen in the summer of 2007 for 4.5 million euros, making a total of 43 appearances, scoring 16 goals and providing eight assists. However, Sanogo has lost his place this season with the acquisition of Pizarro by Bremen, scoring just one goal in eight appearances in the Bundesliga this season. Sanogo, who was eager to play, and Hoffenheim, who wanted to strengthen their attacking line, hit it off. Hoffenheim paid €1.2 million and received a right of first refusal while loaning Sanogo for half a season.

Sanogo trained with the team for three days before playing his first game at the new stadium.

Hoffenheim host Cottage Bus.

Because Bayern Munich lost 0:1 away to Hamburg in the first round of 18 matches yesterday, the gap between the two teams is now three points in the case of Bayern Munich with one more round, and as long as Hoffenheim can beat Cottage Cottage at home, they will be able to pull Bayern Munich down six points in the standings.

The news got the Hoffenheim players motivated.

In this game, Rangnick lined up the strongest lineup he could send: the goalkeeper is the former international Hildebrand of the new team, the central defenders are Comper and Jaisler, the right back is still Baker, the left back is the new team Pogatts, the back is naturally Chu Zhongtian, the left wingback is Salihovic, the right midfielder is Weiss, and the three forwards are Demba from left to right. Ba, Ibisevic and Sanogo.

Several players who joined the team during the winter break started the game. Sanogo replaces Obasi, who has a muscle strain.

As for Cartbus, Chinese player Shao Jiayi was absent due to a cold, and the two teammates in the national team once again missed the opportunity to face each other directly on the field. Shao Jiayi didn't have a good time in Cottages, and I don't know if they will have a chance to play each other the next time the two teams meet.

As in the first half of the season, Hoffenheim started the game with a fierce attack on the Cottage goal, trying to break the opponent's goal as soon as possible. Hoffenheim's team is very good at playing downwind, as long as they score first, they remain unbeaten - originally won all, but were ended by Bayern Munich, and now it is nice to say "undefeated".

In the twentieth minute, Hoffenheim scored the first goal as he wished, Salihovic took a corner kick, and Pogatecs's header of 1.88 meters in front of the point was ferried. Ba received the ball at the back point and scored with a shot defended by two Cottage players, 1:0!

"Demba. Bar! Bar! He scored Hoffenheim's first Bundesliga goal at the Rhein-Neckar! This goal was preceded by Hoffenheim's four shots in a row! In the case of Bayern Munich's loss, Hoffenheim's whole team is full of fighting spirit, and it seems that Cartbus has no way to stop this team's progress! ”

The Rhine-Neckar Stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people can be accommodated in Demba. After Ba's goal, there was a huge cheer, and the whole stand became a sea of blue, with Hoffenheim flags flying, and fans holding Hoffenheim blue scarves in both hands, and they were singing Hoffenheim's team anthem.

After seeing this scene, the narrator exclaimed: "It's hard to imagine that this village of only 3,000 people can attract so many fans." They are the same Bundesliga 'phenomenon' as Gelsenkirchen, which is also a small population! ”

Gelsenkirchen is a city in the Ruhr region, a famous industrial region in Germany. The population is small, less than 300,000 people, not as large as the people of Mannheim. The city does not have a large urban area like the big cities, but it is made up of many individual villages and mining areas that are connected by extensions, resulting in a distinct urban plot. One of the most famous districts of the city is Schalke. There is the famous Bundesliga powerhouse Schalke 04 here, and Gelsenkirchen has cultivated a strong team that has won seven Bundesliga titles and lifted the UEFA Cup with an environment of less than 300,000 people.

Now Hoffenheim also has this potential, although the village of Hoffenheim has few people, and the city of Sinsheim is only more than 30,000 people, but if you look at the attendance of the Rhine-Neckar Stadium, you can see that they have no shortage of fans. As long as the team plays well and wins, it may not be a few years before the newly built stadium will have to be expanded.

Half a minute later, Hoffenheim blasted the Cottages open again, this time by Ibisevic and Chu Zhongtian who assisted him.

"Wow! Ibi! Super Ibi! It was his twenty-first goal of the season! His goalscoring rhythm hasn't been worn out by the winter break that lasted for more than a month! ”

Seeing Ibisevic score again, both the commentators and the fans in the stands were very excited, what does this mean? It shows that Ibisevic is still in good form and that as long as he can score, the team can win.

Dietma. Hope rose from his seat after Ibisevic's goal, raised his arms and cheered. Beckenbauer, who was sitting next to him, was secretly shaking his head.

Ibisevic is in good form and Hoffenheim is in good form, which means that Bayern Munich will be under more pressure.

And yesterday Klinsmann's Bayern lost again, which made Beckenbauer not very happy. He was invited to watch the game by his old friend Hope, but as a direct rival of Hoffenheim, he watched this game like pins and needles.

Hoffenheim didn't score a goal and he would have worried about his team.

In the second half, the new signing Sanogo wasted a couple of chances before finally seizing them when he latched on to Ibisevic's clever back-heel pass and scored to make it 3-0.

Seeing that Hoffenheim was already victorious, Beckenbauer said hello to Hope and left first.

Hope didn't pay attention, his attention was still on the court, and watching the team he had built play so beautifully made him a very happy old man.

In the end, Hoffenheim beat Cottage Cottage by three goals at home to lead the Bundesliga standings by six points. Sanogo scored in the game, while Pogaertz provided an assist, and the only unlucky man was goalkeeper Hildebrand, who was injured in the 51st minute when he saved a dangerous goal. He was then replaced by Rangnick with Haas. This is the first time he has been substituted in 222 Bundesliga games.

After the game, Hope was pleased with the team's performance, and the attacking football was a good sight for everyone. However, Rangnick announced at the press conference that he would continue to strengthen his defense, and the pressure to lead the Bundesliga made Rangnick have to think about utilitarianism...... "Hoffenheim's form is surprisingly good! It looks like the winter break didn't affect them at all! ”

"Ivbus were so weak that they couldn't stop Hoffenheim's onslaught and it wasn't a surprise to concede three goals. It looks like to stop this crazy team, and Borussia Mönchengladbach may not be able to. The test will be for the next four rounds of the league......"

After the game, the media expressed their opinions, some praised it, and some questioned it. Since Chu Zhongtian shouted the slogan of "winning the championship" at the award ceremony of the German annual awards, more people are looking at them with a magnifying glass.

But that's normal, and that's the price a championship team has to pay. There has never been a championship team that doesn't have to take on the pressure and don't have to face difficulties. Why are giants giants? Because they are accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes, they have accumulated rich experience, which has gradually transformed and accumulated in the long river of history, and has become the so-called "rich heritage".

Hoffenheim are now on the verge of taking the first steps of this accumulation, and learning to deal with the pressure of the media and fans is the only way for them to become strong.

The young Hoffenheim were a little tenderer and were held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga on 7 February.

Although Hoffenheim was playing away from home, they still put on a strong attacking posture as soon as they came up, while Borussia Mönchengladbach defended and counterattacked. This is also what Hoffenheim will often encounter in future matches - their attack has shown everyone to be powerful, so the smart thing to do is to avoid their edges and not go head-to-head with them, and the defensive counter-attack is the most effective weapon to break the attacking football. On the other hand, how to break the opponent's defensive counterattack is something Hoffenheim must master, otherwise they can only become a qualified spoiler at best, not a champion.

Prior to this game, Hoffenheim's Beck and Weiss were named in the national team squad, with Baker being selected for the first time. So the head coach of the national team, Loew, also came to the scene to inspect Hoffenheim's new international.

Perhaps in a hurry to show himself in front of the national team manager, Baker was very active in attack in this game, and there were even many times when he attacked and did not come back to defend - he thought it was a waste of time and energy, what if he ran back to participate in the defense and missed a beautiful counterattack from the team?

But his approach has created a problem for the team's backline.

In the first half, Hoffenheim besieged Borussia Mönchengladbach but couldn't score a goal, Chu Zhongtian tried several long-range shots, but Borussia Mönchengladbach's Belgian goalkeeper Bayli (logan_bailly) was in great shape today, and he resisted and saved many threatening attacks from Hoffenheim. The commentators all said that the best player of the first half was the 22-year-old goalkeeper.

If you can't attack for a long time, there will inevitably be holes in the backline. In the 44th minute, Borussia Mönchen seized a chance to play a counter-attack, and it was from Baker's side that the ball was sent to the front. Galasek (tomas_galasek) passes through the back and the ball passes from the corridor guarded by Baker to Baumjohn (alexander_baumjohann) in front of him, who receives the ball and cuts inside. Hoffenheim's centre-back Camper didn't follow up as soon as the opposition got the ball, allowing Baumjohn to calmly get up and shoot and the ball flew into the Haas goal.

Hildebrand was replaced by Haas after he was injured in the last game, and Hildebrand was diagnosed with a pubic contusion, so it was Haas who started this game. But Haas could do nothing about Baumjohn's shot and could only watch as the ball flew from behind him into the back of the net.

Baumjohn, a well-known game demon in the famous football game FM series, has announced his move to Bayern Munich this summer. If his goal really helps the team beat Hoffenheim at home, it will be the best "shot" of all...... Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are bottom of the Bundesliga, are ahead of Hoffenheim, who are top of the league, at home.

This last season's Bundesliga champion and runner-up, this season's Bundesliga leader and deputy squad leader competition, turned out to be the "deputy squad leader" Borussia Mönchengladbach took the lead to end the first half!

For a time, Borussia Mönchengladbach's home stadium, Heprussia Park, was thunderous. The 40,000 Borussia Mönchengladbach fans shouted wildly for their team. It's nice to be able to lead the league leaders in the competition!

'Borussia Mönchengladbach, who had been beaten all half, scored on a counter-attack just before the end of the first half, and it was only their third shot! It looks like Hoffenheim are in big trouble away from home! As league leaders, they're going to be here to make a difference! ”

The narrator shouted.

The fans chanted: "The league leaders were also crushed by us last season!" Hoffenheim is just a Bundesliga team! ”

At the end of the pitch, the Hoffenheim players looked a little downcast, while Borussia Mönchengladbach's players were running back at a brisk pace and looked in high spirits.

At half-time, Rangnick was a harsh critic of Baker's poor first-half performance.

"Forget that damn national team debut, Baker! If you play badly in this game, Loew won't give you a single minute to play! ”

After the start of the second half, Baker paid attention, but the team's performance did not improve, the leading Borussia Mönchengladbach played more and more confidently, Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by two or three players in the midfield, he could only play the ball quickly, and the speed was too fast, and the mistakes naturally increased. Borussia Mönchengladbach also learned some lessons from Schalke 04 and Ivbots. Schalke 04 used foul tactics to prevent Hoffenheim from playing the smooth attack they are good at, so Hoffenheim won very hard, and Kortebus was too polite, so Hoffenheim unceremoniously won Ketbus a 3:0.

There were also a lot of fouls in Borussia Mönchengladbach in this game, Chu Zhongtian was repeatedly violated by the opponent, at first he insisted on not falling to the ground, and under the push and kick of three people in a row, he still controlled the football and then passed the ball to his teammates who plugged in.

Later, Borussia Mönchengladbach stepped up the foul, and this time he finally pushed Chu Zhongtian down, so they were awarded a free kick. Salihovic's direct free-kick went over the crossbar.

Rangnick then replaced Sanogo with Obasi. Hoffenheim's formidable attacking line in the first half of the season has finally arrived.

Obasi had just recovered from a thigh muscle strain, and Rangnick didn't start him to protect his players.

After Obasi came on the field, the cooperation with the midfield was more tacit than Sanogo, and the team's attack finally had discipline and improvement.

Chu Zhongtian went straight to Obasi in the 67th minute, Obasi was tripped by Galasek in the penalty area, but the referee sentenced Obasi to fake a fall and gave him a yellow card.

Seeing that Hoffenheim's offensive is becoming more and more popular, Borussia Mönchengladbach's head coach Hans. Meyer (hans_meyer) replaced goal-scorer Baumjohn in place of Dutch centre-back Bovis (roel_brouwers). The intention of this substitution is clear - to strengthen the defense. For Borussia Mönchengladbach, a 1-0 win at home to Hoffenheim was the biggest win, they were not Dietma. Hope, always want to see a big win with a lot of goals, 10:0 and 1:0 are the same for them, it's all three points. On the road to relegation, points are more important than anything else.

The opponent defended stubbornly, and Rangnick sent a striker to strengthen the attack. Eduardo was suspended because of the accumulation of yellow cards, so he couldn't play this game, otherwise he wouldn't have just sent a striker up, adding an extra striker and playing 442 instead, the effect might be better.

Rangnick replaced Weiss with 17-year-old Tracino in a 424 formation, with four strikers frantically storming Borussia Mönchengladbach's defence. In the 89th minute, Hoffenheim's tireless efforts paid off. Salihovic takes a free kick and Chu Zhongtian heads the goal!

The ball hit the post and bounced back and then followed up with Demba. Ba knocked the football into the goal!

"Wow oh!! The ball is in! The ball is in! Hoffenheim equalised! They tied the score at 1:1 in the 89th minute! A defeat was averted! Just look at their excited hugs and you know how hard this draw has been! ”

Yes, it's not easy.

It is not easy for Borussia Mönchengladbach, as the "vice-captain" of the league's bottom-to-bottom "squad leader", to force Hoffenheim, the league-first, to be like this. In the end, if you don't win the game, it's also bad luck - people are always used to sympathizing with the weak and supporting the weak. In the first half of the season, against Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim was such an underdog. And now they have quietly become strong players, and their opponents have more support.

Hoffenheim won with Demba. Ba's goal equalised and picked up a point away from home. And Borussia Mönchengladbach's draw with Hoffenheim was an upset.

This made those media think they saw a precursor to Hoffenheim's collapse in the second half of the season - "They have been studied thoroughly, even a team like Borussia Mönchenchen can make Hoffenheim concede a goal in 89 minutes, if it is replaced by a stronger team, such as Hamburg, such as Hertha Berlin, such as ...... What about Bayern Munich? ”
