The media attention to this game has also been much greater than that of the usual Super Cup. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As they say, these two teams have been installed with a lot of things outside the game, such as the old aristocracy and the new forces, such as tradition and cutting-edge, such as perseverance and breakthrough...... Wait a minute.

Even the players on both sides began a routine war of words.

Now Hoffenheim's players are no longer rookies like they were two years ago, and they can treat Bayern's war of words and psychological warfare with a normal heart. Think about it at the beginning, in the face of Bayern's repeated provocations, even the always low-key old captain Tebel stood up to face it, not to mention others.

And now?

Franck Ribery said in an interview that Bayern would not be afraid of a team like Hoffenheim, and that he was annoyed by the media comparisons between Bayern and Hoffenheim. "We're going to fight back on the pitch!"

Franck Ribery's mediocre performance at the World Cup in South Africa this summer has completely lost the stunning brilliance of four years ago. But back at Bayern, he's still at the core. His words are very representative of the thoughts of many Bayern players.

In recent years, the media has always put Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim together. Even some completely unrelated things will be ripped up, which can be described as "not only lying down and sitting and hiding are shot". When it comes to Hoffenheim, everyone will more or less talk about how Bayern Munich was in the beginning, and when it comes to Bayern Munich, they will also say "how Hoffenheim is compared to Bayern".

This argument has been going on for two seasons, and it has already annoyed Bayern Munich's players. The result is that every time they face Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich is full of fighting spirit and can't wait to tear Hoffenheim apart, not only in this game, but in all future games, they want to sweep Hoffenheim, so that the media realize that these two teams are not comparable at all, and it is extremely stupid to put them together to talk, hoping that after doing so, the media will be able to shut their hated mouths and let the Bayern Munich players have peace of mind.

The two sides met for the second time in the league last season, with Bayern Munich beating Hoffenheim 2-1 at home, but that wasn't enough. Because in a total of four meetings between the two teams, Hoffenheim has two wins, one draw and one loss, and has an advantage in terms of record.

If Bayern wants to completely get rid of the "Hoffenheim shadow", they are afraid that they will have to reverse this record to have any hope.

So the Super Cup is a good opportunity, as long as you can beat Hoffenheim, you can not only win the Super Cup, but also be able to equalize the records of both sides, killing two birds with one stone.

Regarding the remarks of Bayern players such as Ribery, Chu Zhongtian, as the captain of Hoffenheim, also made a counterattack. Don't look at him and Ribery as good friends in private, but on the court, they don't recognize each other, and both sides have a strong desire to win** and fighting spirit, so talking about brotherhood on the field doesn't work for them.

"We lost the Super Cup last year and we want to get it back this year anyway!" Chu Zhongtian expressed confidence in victory. "I don't care who the opponent is, I just look at the champion."

Asked by a reporter how he reacted to the comments made by Ribery and others, he laughed: "Two seasons ago, if someone had told us that we could be compared to Bayern Munich, we would have thought it was incredible. Now I think that's good, and I'm enjoying the comparison. ”

We will do everything that the enemy hates. This is one of the laws of struggle. Since Bayern Munich's players hate the media to compare them with Hoffenheim, then as an opponent, they have to strongly support and approve of this approach, adding blockages to the opponent's heart, making the opponent impatient and impatient, and losing his cool, Hoffenheim's goal has been achieved.

Bayern Munich used the media to wage psychological warfare, and now Hoffenheim has learned to do the same.

Don't you hate to compare ourselves to us? We're going to compare ourselves to you!

※※※ Rangnick did not have too many new players in the starting lineup for the Super Cup. Gago, Hlosek, Srna and Quaresma were all on the bench, with goalkeeper Nyema the only starter. With Hildebrand gone, Nyema naturally secured the position of the team's main goalkeeper.

With the exception of Nyema, Hoffenheim's starting line-up was the same as last season's. Left-back Kolarov, right-back Baker, central defenders Simunic and Metzeld, midfielders Sana and Chu Zhongtian, left midfielder Salihovic, right midfielder Weiss, and forwards are Ibisevic and Obasi.

This is far from the starting lineup predicted by everyone before the game, and the media thought that Rangnick would send all the new players in one go, because judging from the warm-up games before the season, the run-in between the new players and the team was good, especially Quaresma, who scored and assisted in the warm-up games, can't such an excellent performance fight for him to get a starting position?

Everyone guessed wrong, Quaresma sat on the bench and watched his teammates line up on the pitch and shake hands with the Bayern Munich players.

At the Augsburg Pulse Arena, 30,000 fans from both sides will witness another showdown between the two sides.

In fact, although it is said to be the German Super Cup, it was not until this season that it was re-recognized by the German Football Association, and in the 14 years before that, the German Cup was either suspended or not recognized by the German Football Association, and has been in a relatively embarrassing position.

Before the start of the season in other national leagues, there is a competition between the cup champion and the league champion to determine the Super Cup champion, which is already management, but the Super Cup of the German football league first appeared in 1977, which was still organized by the club itself and was not recognized by the German Football Association.

It was only ten years before the German Football Association (DFB) brought the tournament under their purview and recognized the official status of the Super Cup. However, another decade later, the German Football Association cancelled the Super Cup and replaced it with the League Cup, which increased the number of participating teams, but the results were not good, and the club's address has been lacking and there has been a lack of interest from fans. In 2008, the German Football Association suspended the tournament on the grounds of "making way for the European Championship".

The closure of the Carabao Cup meant a pre-season void and to make up for that and to give the team a high-level warm-up game, the Super Cup was brought to mind. This time, it was still the club that organized itself. The "double" Bayern Munich played against cup runners-up Borussia Dortmund, nicknamed the "copycat version" of the Super Cup, and as a result, the young coach Jurgen Klinsmann swallowed the bitter pill of defeat in his first game in power, and they were defeated 2-1 away by Dortmund.

Last year, the second year of the copycat Super Cup, new league champions Hoffenheim took on cup champions Werder Bremen on their home turf. In the game, Bremen continued to play the role of "Huocun Killer", once again beating Hoffenheim and lifting the Super Cup. Counting the league, the German FA Cup and the Super Cup, Hoffenheim have not won against Werder Bremen so far, and they don't even have a chance of a draw, losing all five games. Werder Bremen are also the only team they haven't won.

Just when everyone was in full swing to hold the Super Cup, the German Football Association came out to stir up the situation, they were very dissatisfied with the club's practice of bypassing the Football Association to hold the event, and passed an internal vote to unanimously oppose the recognition of the event. It wasn't until Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund gave 20 per cent of their TV revenue to the Football Association that their frustration subsided.

Last year's Super Cup filled up the Rhine-Neckar Stadium and it was very hot. Perhaps seeing the special status and increasing influence of the Super Cup, the German Football Association has restarted the main board Super Cup from the beginning of the new season.

The Super Cup, which was placed at the Augsburg Pulse Arena, was the eleventh edition of the official Super Cup – counting the first ten official Super Cups from 1987 to 1997.

For the new Super Cup, the German Football Association has recast a new trophy, which is 53 centimeters high and weighs five and a half kilograms, and is worth about 40,000 euros.

The Super Cup, which was recognized by the German Football Association, does look much more formal, with a pre-match kick-off ceremony. The president of the German Football Association, Zwanziger, personally kicked the football away, which was considered a kick-off.

The match took place on the afternoon of August 7 local time, and the Pulse Arena in Augsburg was packed, with more than 30,000 people pouring into the stadium to cheer on their respective teams.

The second day of the game, August 8, is the birthday of Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal, and before the game, it was reported that Bayern soldiers will dedicate the new Super Cup to the head coach as a birthday present.

However, the Hoffenheim players will not agree.

Bayern are basically full of personnel in this regard, only Robben is unavailable due to injury, and will not only miss this Super Cup, but he will also miss the league for two months. His injury was the one before the World Cup, and although he had undergone emergency surgery to catch up with the World Cup, he never recovered. The Netherlands finally reached the final of the World Cup, and Robben gritted his teeth and persevered until the final, where he performed well and almost helped the team get rid of the "uncrowned king" hat. But it came at the cost of the club's bill.

Before this World Cup, many famous stars withdrew due to injury, and many of those who stayed were injured and insisted on playing. Obviously, the quadrennial World Cup is very important for them, especially for those who are around 28 years old, and this may be the last World Cup in their prime.

Brazil's star Kaka underwent surgery after the World Cup because of a closed needle, and he will miss at least half a year in the league. This caused a lot of trouble for the Real Madrid club he played for, and he himself was criticized by public opinion. Many people think that he has Real Madrid's high-tech, but he can't work, he only has the Brazilian national team in his mind, and now he wants Real Madrid to pay for his surgery, and his salary has to be paid during the recuperation period, which is very unprofessional.

But Kaka is 28 years old, this is the last World Cup in his golden age, although he has won the World Cup once, but as the core of the team, he has not yet had. Four years ago, he was not the protagonist in Germany, but in South Africa four years later, he is the protagonist, and of course he wants to help the Brazilian national team win the World Cup for the sixth time. For this reason, even if he hides the injury from the club and plays in a closed game, he is willing. It's a pity that they unexpectedly collapsed in a good situation and lost to the Netherlands. As long as they could have eliminated the Netherlands, they could have made it to the final against Spain in the pinnacle of world football, the top two teams in the FIFA rankings, and the clash between the two teams that are currently in the limelight must have excited fans and the media.

It's a pity that creation makes people. Kaka gritted his teeth and insisted on closing the ball, but in exchange for being eliminated. Four years later, it is still unclear whether he will be able to make the Brazilian national team for the World Cup at the age of 32, and with his style of play, his form may plummet after the age of 30. And Brazilian football is like China's table tennis, there are many talented people in China, and the replacement is very fast. No one can say for sure what will happen in four years' time, so Kaka just wants to seize the present.

Chu Zhongtian didn't have any troubles in this regard, in fact, he really wanted to have such troubles...... People are torn between the World Cup and the club, but he doesn't even qualify for the dilemma.

He doesn't know if he'll be able to play in the World Cup in his career, no one knows what the future holds, he just wants to seize the present. So the Champions League is important for him. He has won the domestic cup, the domestic league, the UEFA Super Cup, the UEFA Cup, and the only thing left is the Champions League.

The Champions League is the highest level of football in the world today, surpassing the World Cup, although it is still not comparable to the World Cup every four years. But Chu Zhongtian retreated to the second, since he couldn't participate in the World Cup, he would regard the Champions League as his World Cup.

Ukrainian star Shepchenko once said something similar, saying that before the Champions League final, he said that the Champions League final was his World Cup final. After winning the 2003 Champions League with AC Milan, Shepchenko returned to Ukraine with the Champions League trophy and was treated like a hero, and later he took the Champions League trophy to the grave of his mentor Lobanovsky. When he left Dynamo Kyiv four years ago, he promised his coach Lobanovsky a Champions League trophy. Unexpectedly, the teacher did not wait for that moment and had already passed away, but Shepchenko still kept his promise and brought the trophy to the teacher's grave.

There are many superstars who will not be able to participate in the World Cup, in addition to Shepchenko, there is also the hero of Wales, Ryan Giggs. He was one of the best left wingers in the world at Manchester United, but he was hampered by the quality of his national team and never played in the World Cup. But that doesn't stop him from becoming a world-class player, a legend of a generation.

Chu Zhongtian's goal is a player like Ryan Giggs.

In this season's Champions League, he is ambitious and wants to go further. But the Champions League is all for later, and the first step of the season has to start with this Super Cup.

Chu Zhongtian wore Hoffenheim's captain's armband and wore a blue Hoffenheim jersey and stood on the field. Opposite him were the Bayern Munich players in red and white jerseys, and his old friend Franck Franck Ribery was also on the pitch.

Ribery was injured before and has been in the recovery period, but he actually started this game, which shows how strong his desire to fight is.

He didn't want to lose to his good brother Chu Zhongtian.

Every collision between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim is also a contest between Ribery and Chu Zhongtian.

※※※ The president of the German Football Association, Zwan Ziger, kicked the football out, and after the kick-off ceremony, he walked off the field with his hands held high, and the players on both sides of the field gave him a face-saving applause.

After the show, everyone returned to the court and stood in their respective formations.

This high-profile match is about to begin.

On the Bayern side, the unnamed German internationals who participated in the World Cup all started, they were Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Klose, Thomas. Müller, as well as Bad Stuber. Captain Van Bommel and the injured Robben and Van Bitten were not included in the game squad, with the main goalkeeper Bout sitting on the bench and the 22-year-old Kraft finding the goal for the first time for Bayern's first team.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

The game had a tournament for Hoffenheim that had more than just a championship significance, as Rangnick demanded that the team have to play in the Hoffenheim style of the game, and they practiced for a summer to make the concept of fast football take root in the hearts of the people. So Hoffenheim have to stick to their fast style of play in this game.

Hoffenheim was the first to kick off, which is of course another benefit won by Chu Zhongtian in the pick...... With this kick-off, Hoffenheim had to play a fast break.

Throughout the summer of pre-season training, Rangnick and the coaching staff worked hard to get their teammates up to speed, not just physically, but mentally as well.

Chu Zhongtian added his freewheeling improvisation to the training, and the coaching staff had a person responsible for recording his improvisation, and then recorded it in a book, and then everyone met to discuss whether this improvisation had the possibility of being transformed into a reusable tactic. Not all improvisations are able to take their place in the playbook. For example, there were some actions that Chu Zhongtian couldn't do afterwards, and he didn't know what he thought at the time when he had some thoughts.

Those improvisations that cannot be adapted into fixed tactics are abandoned, and those that can be changed into tactics are carefully studied and analyzed, and then organized into tactics for the team to train and learn, and must be able to use them in the game.

And Chu Zhongtian continued to improvise on the court, and those teammates who watched him perform or benefited from his performance on the side admired their captain more and more. Watching him play was a pleasure.

Obasi quickly passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian did not directly look for teammates on the side. Fast breaks don't mean you have to use this simple way to organize, and if the timing is not right, such rash long passes are just handing over possession to the opponent. After Chu Zhongtian took control of the football, Bayern Munich strikers Klose and Hamid. Altentop rushed up, and the rest of them didn't care, so they grabbed the ball at Chu Zhongtian's feet.

After two seasons of meeting, all Bayern Munich players know that there is only one person who is a real threat to Hoffenheim. Chu Zhongtian was restricted, and the loss of this ball was over.

Facing the two menacing people, Chu Zhongtian did not bring the football to the side to avoid the opponent's pressing. He stuck his right foot in the turf underneath the soccer ball and jerked it up!

The soccer ball was attached to his outside instep and was picked up by him, and with a shake of his toes, the ball flew over the heads of Klose and Altentop!

The pass immediately sent the Hoffenheim fans in the stands into a loud cheer.

"Wow! Chu came to such a beautiful passing action at the beginning! He's so comfortable on the pitch! ”

This first action made Chu Zhongtian understand that his state today was so good!
