Hoffenheim's promotion to German football was the most exciting event since Kaiserslautern were promoted to victory, and the fact that the 3,000-strong rural team would become part of the Bundesliga was something no one could have imagined before the start of the season. When the dust settled, almost all the German media reported it as the biggest news in the Bundesliga this season, or the earliest news in the Bundesliga.

The Bild headline read, "The smallest team qualifies for the Bundesliga four rounds early", "Hoffenheim are the smallest team even in the Bundesliga, but it is this team that has now set a record of 22 consecutive wins and 24 games unbeaten, and this record continues to this day, as their manager Rangnick said, they are making history every step of the way."

Hoffenheim are known as the Chelsea of the Bundesliga, but their owner, Mr. Hoppe, will not admit it, because his team does not spend money on stars like Roman Abramovich, they only buy players with upside potential, and the oldest player they bought during this winter break is 22 years old.

It is thanks to these young players that Hoffenheim no longer have any opponents in the Bundesliga, and they have reached the final in the German Cup, but the real test for them will be in the next season, the Bundesliga is the litmus test for all promotion horses, whether this Hoffenheim team will see the world in the Bundesliga or want to continue to create miracles, four months later, we can see. ”

"Kicker" regards Hoffenheim's promotion to the Bundesliga as a victory of the German model, with lofty goals, solid progress, and outstanding leaders, their success is not accidental, just like the head coach Rangnick said at the press conference on the day of the promotion final, Hoffenheim was promoted to the Bundesliga not for relegation, they are working hard to become a Bundesliga giant, and now Hoffenheim will not only not sell people, but will continue to buy people There are many players on his list now, but the season is not over yet, and he is inconvenient to announce the names of these people, But one thing that can be believed is that the players he wants are interested in Hoffenheim, and Hoffenheim's promotion to the Bundesliga gives them an advantage in buying players. The Kicker reporter commented, "While other players are still struggling to fight for relegation and promotion, Hoffenheim are preparing for their next season. The club's manager, Schender Meize, says at least a third of the current squad will not be available in the Bundesliga next season. Hoffenheim need players to match the quality of the Bundesliga, but Schendelmaize thinks it won't be until the end of the season. But Hoffenheim is not satisfied with such a great victory, and is still expanding their strength, this kind of aggressive spirit and long-term vision is really not like a nouveau riche, maybe they can still achieve great success next season, of course, it is impossible to be invincible and kill all sides like in the second division, that is too demanding, and it is a great victory for this rural team to be relegated. ”

Even in Europe, there is a lot of media talk about the miracle of this rural team, because this team is likely to participate in the UEFA Cup next season, if Stuttgart wins the league or Hoffenheim can win the German Cup, but there is almost no media belief that Hoffenheim can beat Stuttgart to win the title.

The French media in Germany's neighbors also felt very unbelievable about this, the famous "French football" said, "Something strange is happening in our neighbors, of course you all think that we are talking about Bayern's degeneration, it is true that Bayern's degeneration is too fast, and there is no reason, there is no problem in any aspect, but they can only watch others win the championship in the three arenas now, and the Germans have long been uncompetitive in the Champions League, which has long been recognized by Europe, but they have also lost their dominance in the league, There are still four rounds to go in the league and they can be sure of a place in the UEFA Cup, and perhaps no problem is the biggest problem.

Another strange thing is that a country team of 3,000 people has made it to the Bundesliga, it is 3,000 people, it is also the Bundesliga, readers read it right, this team is called Hoffenheim, and he is still unknown, but it doesn't matter, you will know them next season, because they are likely to play in the UEFA Cup next season, as long as the following two conditions are true, one is that Stuttgart wins the Champions League, and the other is that Hoffenheim win their first title in history. ”

In the UK, the Times, a well-known veteran sports outlet, said: "An unbelievable thing happened in Germany, a country team of only 3,000 people reached the Bundesliga four rounds early, they also set a record of 22 consecutive wins, and now they have 24 games without defeat." One thing to keep in mind is that they could play in the UEFA Cup next season, which means that our team could meet them in Europe. Because they won the right to the final of the German Cup. Although this country team also has a rich owner, but this can not help but shock us at their results, the Germans who have always been honest and like philosophy actually played a Danish fairy tale, we don't know if the Bundesliga has fallen or the strength of this country team is really very strong. "With the fall of Serie A and the Bundesliga, the Premier League has now become a superleague alongside La Liga, and their words are full of ridicule of the Bundesliga, and it is true that even Bayern have become a bullying character in the Champions League. Not to mention other teams.

The reaction was cascading, and in Spain, both Le Monde Sport and Ace spoke about Hoffenheim, a team that was very new to Spanish fans. This is also the first time that Hoffenheim's name has appeared in their newspapers in the Spanish media, and Hoffenheim's previous German Cup final and the possibility of participating in the League Cup did not make this wild bullfighter take it to heart, and there are only two teams in the eyes of arrogant Spanish fans, one is Real Madrid and the other is Barcelona, and in their eyes there are only two competitions, one is La Liga and the other is the Champions League.

However, the name Li Huan is not the first time it has been reported in the newspapers, for the Spaniards who like to attack, a defender who has scored a hat trick in a row can definitely stimulate their nerves, but the name of Hoffenheim in the Spanish media last time was not mentioned, but it was just that there was a defender with a strong attack in the German Second Division.

And now, Hoffenheim actually entered the Bundesliga, which made the Spaniards have to be impressed, it is not difficult to reach the cup final, the cup has always been a paradise for upsets, the energy of strong teams is generally in the league and the Champions League, but the league is different, to be able to fight and advance after a season, the strength of this team is superior at least in the league at the same level. However, the Spaniard's comments were clearly more contemptuous than those of the British.

"They're smaller than Villarreal and their stadium doesn't even fit Barça's away fans, but this team will play with Bayern. The German media boasted that the team's style of play was very Barcelona, very offensive, and if every game was called offensive football, then the existence of Barcelona and Real Madrid would be meaningless. The German media boasted that the team's owners had money, but they didn't spend as much on a winter break as Abu spent on a replacement. The team is called Hoffenheim, and it is a village team in Germany, and there are only 3,000 people in this village, and they are all fans of this team. Their biggest star is named Li, a Chinese, and there are no free kicks. The Bundesliga has been declining more and more over the years, and even their media have begun to look up to the British media, and penalties are not uncommon, not to mention free kicks, the Germans have no experience in blowing bubbles in the British media, and no one believes in lies. ”

Even the major European football powers have to mention Hoffenheim, not to mention the Chinese media, adhering to the principle that all the successes are Chinese players, and the failures are all teammates of Chinese players, "Ball Daily", "Weekly", "Chinese Football" and other newspapers have reported on Hoffenheim with great fanfare, and the first sentence of each report is similar to "Li Huan led Hoffenheim to enter the Bundesliga four rounds ahead of schedule", but it was just a different way of expression. At the end of every report, there is also a sharp nonsense, that is, a rural team of 3,000 people like Hoffenheim can make it to the Bundesliga, why can't some cities with tens of millions of people in China have a professional team? Why can't the Chinese giant, with more than a billion people, break out of Asia? This is a sharp question because it points out this bloody fact, and it is nonsense, because there are only 3,000 people in Hoffenheim, and 3,000 people are playing football, and there are more than a billion people in China, but more than a billion people are playing mahjong and watching football and scolding their mothers, and no one is playing football.

After Hoffenheim became popular in China, another question that has been shelved for a long time, but has been burning the hearts of fans, has been put on the agenda again, that is, when will Li Huan play the first international A-level match for China, as long as the fans know that Li Huan does not play an A-level match for the Chinese team for a day, this young man known as Xiao Li Feidao may be poached by other countries. However, our national team head coach Mr. Hu Guangzhu turned a blind eye to Li Huan's legendary performance in the German Second Division, and adopted the method of ignoring and not looking at it, as if Li Huan was not a Chinese. And our great Chinese Football Association occasionally jumped out like a corpse and shouted, "Li Huan is the pride of Chinese football, Li Huan is the pride of Chinese." The national team will always have a place for him. Then he went back to sleep, without any real action.
