Chapter 45: Starter! Pre-match clashes
Because a medical exam was required, Jankel was only brought in by Rangnick to meet his team-mates when he assembled two days before the game. The emergence of a new centre-back www.biquge.info has alerted the already bloated backline.
Of course, this also includes Beta, who is a little worried about his position. After all, in addition to Zepek, who has been relegated to the second team, Beta is at the bottom of the central defender position!
If the defensive Yankel shows up, so that he doesn't even have a chance to play in the end, Beta may cry!
Fortunately, in the fifth round on August 26, Rangnick did not include Yankel, who had only arrived for less than two days, in the 18-man squad. Beta, on the other hand, got the chance to fight with the team again!
In this round, although it is an away game, Hoffenheim does not need to travel long distances, because the opponent VFR Allen Football Club is just a few dozen kilometers away in the former Free Empire city of Allen!
It also belongs to Baden-Württemberg, so this match can also be considered a Baden-Württemberg derby!
In fact, before the game, the newspapers in the cities of Sinsheim and Allen had already started a war.
Hoffenheim and Allen have both played in the third division for many years, and in the same state, there will be no shortage of comparisons and arguments, and naturally, the brothers and sisters have become enemies who must now overcome and regain their breath!
Last season, Hoffenheim finished fourth and Allen sixth, but it should be noted that the two matches between the two teams ended with Allen having one draw and one win! Hoffenheim couldn't help but get back on the pitch this season.
Sinsheim Sport has dubbed the game a revenge affair and vowed that Hoffenheim, who are 11th in the league, will certainly be able to keep 16th-placed Allen in the relegation zone.
Naturally, the Allen City newspaper was not convinced, and in the new issue of the newspaper, they ridiculed Hoffenheim for just winning a game, before the start of the fourth round, Hoffenheim was ranked 16th, and Allen was ranked in the top two places higher than Hoffenheim!
They shouted that based on past records, Allen's team would definitely be able to beat Hoffenheim back to its original form in this round! And Allen will get their first win of the season!
The media is hyped, and the fans and players of the two teams are naturally very angry, this kind of derby must be won! Otherwise, the losing side may not be ashamed to see Jiangdong's father!
Scholz Arena is an open football stadium with a total capacity of more than 10,000 fans. However, it has less than 5,000 seats, and the remaining 9,000 standing seats are not even covered by a canopy, which looks very shabby, worse than Hoffenheim's home stadium!
The golf course in Hoffenheim is small, but the facilities are perfect, and it looks high-end!
In the locker room, Rangnick came in with a tactical board, and he said with a little seriousness: "I'm going to announce today's starting lineup!" ”
Every player gathered around, and Beta held her breath nervously.
"Kischbaum, Marić......" According to his habit, Rangnick reads the goalkeeper and then reads it from the front to the back.
Andreas, who was not able to start, bowed his head in silence, but no one cares about the emotions of a loser.
Today, it seems that Rangnick still has to play the tactics of a single striker, but what surprised Beta was that Rangnick only had three midfielders, Marić, Meyer, and Kohler.
The midfield is a combination of midfield and midfield with veterans Teber and Spirasek in midfield, plus five defenders?
Rangnick hadn't finished reading the starting line-up yet, and Beta was already a little short of breath, and he was keenly aware that he seemed likely to start!
Sure enough, Rangnick read the list of defenders: Salihovic at right-back, Loew at left-back, and Gottrich and Bindenagle at centre-back...... Rangnick paused, he looked up and gave Beta a deep look, and said, "The last one, it's Beta!" ”
Beta clenched her fists excitedly, snapped to her feet, and shouted, "Yes, boss!" ”
Marić, Loew, and the others, all laughing, came over and touched Beta's head, congratulating him on the fact that Beta's hair was gone.
The game is about to start, and Beta, who followed the starting team for the first time and stood in line in the aisle, was very excited, he held his head high, looked ahead, and looked forward to the heroic posture at the moment when he appeared!
"Asian brat, did you drink your mother's milk yesterday? This is the time to come to the competition? Suddenly, a playful voice rang out beside Beta.
Beta frowned and looked over, it was a player wearing a yellow jersey, short and chubby, only in his early sevens! He was looking at Beta with a defiant expression!
Seeing Beta looking over, he sneered and said, "What? Not convinced? You yellow people are a soft egg, what do you dare to do to me? ”
Beta was a little angry, and the player on the other side was a little too arrogant! He was about to start sarcastically replying, when suddenly a voice came.
"Aaron, shut your foul mouth!" Turning, Tedbel turned his head from the front, glared at his bull's-eyed, and walked menacingly.
Tebel only moved to Turkey in June this year, and his trademark beard and fierce eyes mean that he is not a person to be messed with!
Beta didn't communicate much with him before, but at this moment, Tebel unexpectedly stood up for him!
"Tebel, I know you!" The stocky Allen player also puffed up his chest, he snorted, and said, "The territory of the Germans, when will it be your turn to be a Turkish ****?" ”
He also glanced at Beta disdainfully and said mockingly: "Chinese just have no eggs, they can only hide behind others!" ”
"Who do you say doesn't have eggs?" Beta raised his eyebrows, his anger level skyrocketed, his muscles tightened the jersey, and he almost exploded!
"Get out of the way! To ****, let's see the real chapter on the court! Instead, Teber stepped in front of Beta and slammed the stocky Allen player. The height of 1.87 meters is obvious to the height of 1.7 meters, who is strong and who is weak, Tebel just pushed, and the right person hit the wall.
"Tebel, labor and management will kill you!" The pudgy Allen player felt particularly humiliated, and he rolled up his sleeves in a huff to rush up. Several of Allen's players also rushed up to the court for their teammates!
Beta stepped forward, ready to help Tebel. Unexpectedly, Tebel reached out and stopped him behind him.
"Bang!" A player who is also not tall Allen also pushed the unprepared Tebel and crashed into Beta.
The emotions of both teams were provoked, and it was about to cause a group fight!
"Toot toot!" The referee finally blew the hurried whistle and arrived, and several referees hurriedly stood in the middle of the two teams to separate the people.
"Give me calm, do it again, I'll send you all out of the game, and see how this game is played!" As it happens, referee Knut Kircher, who is the main whistle in the Bundesliga, has a very old-fashioned way of scaring the players on both sides to calm them down.
Subsequently, Tebel, who made the move, and Okic, the Bosnia-Herzegovina who pushed him, were both shown a yellow card by Kircher. Interestingly, Beta and his creator, Bernd Meier, escaped.
In fact, it is not too much to start a fight and show a red card. But the experienced Kircher didn't want to let himself officiate the game, which became a strange 10-v10 game before it even began, and he just used two yellow cards, one for each board, to calm down the teams in the two derby.
Returning to the team, Beta whispered thanks to Tebel with some gratitude! If he hadn't helped him get ahead, Beta might have been young and vigorous, and he wouldn't have been able to swallow this breath.
"Don't thank me, I'm also for the team!" Tebel's beard shook and he said coolly, "That bastard of Allen is clearly here for you." ”
"You're our centre-back, and as soon as you get a card, we're going to lose a lot! And I, like their people, am a midfielder, and getting a yellow card doesn't make a difference! ”
After listening, Beta was stunned for a moment, he calmed down now, and he also understood that what Tebel said was right!
It turns out that the other party is secretly evil! If it weren't for Tebel to stand up for himself, I'm afraid that he would have received a yellow card, and he wouldn't have dared to make a big defensive move in the next game!
This is a big hidden danger for the team!
