Chapter 5 Warm-up Race

readx;

Chu Zhongtian only got five minutes of playing in the first warm-up game, which made the Chinese media very unhappy, and they felt that Rangnick gave Chu Zhongtian too little time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Of course, they know that the German media are questioning Chu Zhongtian, because some people compare Chu Zhongtian with Beckenbauer and Summer, in order to maintain the dignity of German football, the German media have long labeled Chu Zhongtian as a "parallel import".

So in this context, Rangnick only gave Chu Zhongtian five minutes of playing time, and he couldn't show his level in Mace at all, wouldn't this "parallel import" hat continue to be worn?

Basically, the media who can follow Chu Zhongtian from France to Germany generally do not doubt Chu Zhongtian's level, they believe that Chu Zhongtian is not a parallel import, but Rangnick did not give Chu Zhongtian a chance to prove himself, which made them very annoyed.

As a result, everyone felt more and more that Chu Zhongtian's transfer to Hoffenheim was a complete failure. It must be that Molinari, the chairman of Metz, saw the money and agreed to Hoffenheim's transfer request when he saw that Hoffenheim offered the highest price. Then Chu Zhongtian's British agent received 100% of Rangnick's black money, instigating and even manipulating Chu Zhongtian to finally switch to Hoffenheim.

The chairman of the money-grubbing club and the unscrupulous agent have become the villains in this transfer story, and Chu Zhongtian is controlled by people who do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and his future is bleak, which inevitably makes people sigh...... China finally produced a world-class star, but because he met someone unladylike, he met an agent who had a bad stomach when he saw money, and he quickly fell...... At the end of the day, it's the British agent's fault! Sure enough, if it is not my race, its heart will be different! Nothing to find a British agent? Do they understand the hearts of our Chinese? Do they know how much we care about such a lone seedling in Chinese football? Are they willing to do things well for a Chinese? How can they love our own family more than our own family?

Since the transfer, the website "We All Love Pills" has been mired in similar squabbles, and the administrators have gradually felt overwhelmed. Chu Zhongtian is now the most famous football player in China, so the popularity of the website is also very, very strong. However, the original founders of the website are now unable to maintain a high level of online time and manage it due to their own reasons.

Kang Jianbo is now facing the matter of finding a job after graduation and has no time to manage the website. Li Yu has just changed jobs, and it is when he needs to work hard to express himself, and everyone else has one or another thing to be busy with, and he is always not as energetic as he was a few years ago.

Kang Jianbo was thinking about whether he should hand over the website to someone else, and he had been observing who could take over the website during this time.

Of course, he won't shut it down, because this website condenses his and everyone's hard work and ideals. Just like Chu Zhongtian, they have witnessed Chu Zhongtian grow from an unknown Ligue 1 substitute to a hero who led the team to win the League Cup, and also witnessed the website develop from a small website for pure self-entertainment to a famous website in the top ten among football websites.

He couldn't bear to shut it up.

So the best thing to do is to find someone who has the time, the ability and the enthusiasm to manage it. He first looked for the management of the website, and the candidates were available. The economy has become a big problem again. Initially, all the website had to pay was a server rental fee and a domain name fee, but as the traffic to the website increased, the server was overwhelmed and a new server needed to be purchased to keep it running smoothly, and the money was used to launch a fundraiser in the website. Everyone is very enthusiastic, but you can't let netizens pay for every upgrade...... Also, in order to gather popularity and retain users, the website needs to organize some activities, which require money, such as buying prizes, at the beginning it was a few people in the management team to make money, and then after the influence was greater, the number of participants increased, and the grade of the prizes was improved, and the required funds exceeded the standard of "everyone pooled money".

However, there is no way to ask registered users of the website to raise funds.

They all come to manage this site on their own initiative, and when it comes to money, it is easy to produce a lot of unclear things. Kang Jianbo and Li Yu want to try their best to maintain the purity of this website, and hope that everyone will not have conflicts because of money.

It's just that it became more and more difficult to maintain later, which made him a little doubtful that he could still hold on to his original ideals.

Until now, he finally felt tired, and planned to hand over the website to others, and he was just a "free man" who poured water on the forum and helped the management team move some news when he had nothing to do

Just when Kang Jianbo was worried about the future of the website, Yang Yang came to the door.

Yang Yang himself is also a registered user of "We All Love Lin Danda", and he has been diving before, only silently paying attention to Chu Zhongtian. Later, after being hired as Chu Zhongtian's public relations experience, he registered a large number of vests, and began to post frequently on the website, reposting various news about Chu Zhongtian, and arguing with those who were black Chu Zhongtian...... It's just that everyone doesn't know the true identity of those active IDs.

Yang Yang naturally understands the dilemma that this website is facing now: the server needs to be upgraded, the recent access has become unstable, and there is often a situation where the server cannot be found, and there are a large number of quarrel posts on the forum every day, and the two sides have a strong smell of gunpowder, but the administrator cannot manage it in time, so that many users who only pay attention to Chu Zhongtian but are not like participating in the quarrel begin to lose, and the loss of users brings a decline in popularity and a worse atmosphere.

Yang Yang has always regarded this website as Chu Zhongtian's mouthpiece in China, responsible for promoting Chu Zhongtian and gathering popularity for Chu Zhongtian. Of course, he didn't want the website to become a vegetable market, so after reporting to Xu Xiaodi, he agreed to buy the website.

They can also use the website to advertise to maintain operations, and with the money, they can upgrade the server to make the website have a more stable environment, and at the same time carry out various activities frequently to attract users and keep the place prosperous.

He went to Kang Jianbo to talk and told him that he planned to buy the website, but the management team of the website was all retained, and they were no different from the previous work, but with money, the website could be better developed.

After discussing with the management team, Kang Jianbo thought that this was the only way, so he unanimously approved it.

Things were going on quickly, and by the time Hoffenheim's second warm-up game was over, the site had already changed hands. As the veteran administrators who originally organized the website, they transferred to the first pot of gold in their lives by selling the website. And if they wish, they can continue to manage it on the website. Unwilling and reluctant.

For the average user, the acquisition activity is rather low-key, and they don't feel anything. On the surface, there is no difference between the website and before, only careful people will find that it didn't take long for the access speed of this website to improve, and the server was more stable, and the top of the page used to be just the Chu Zhongtian logo made by the website itself, and now there are a few more small advertisements, but in general, the environment has not changed in any way.

Then, the administrators began to clean up the quarrel posts in the forum, and after clarifying a number of troublesome IDs with an iron fist, the atmosphere of the forum returned to the harmony of the past, and everyone discussed and discussed, but rarely spoke ill of each other.

When the news that "Hoffenheim drew with their warm-up opponents, Chu Zhongtian got ten minutes of playing time" was published on the website "We All Love Lin Danda", there were far fewer people in the comments who were trying to make trouble.

※※※Because the Bundesliga starts relatively early, usually in mid-August, the Bundesliga team has a tight preparation time. In order to adjust the player's condition to the point where it is suitable for the game, it is necessary to arrange a warm-up match. When time is tight, the warm-up games are arranged more intensively. Fortunately, most of these warm-up games are games with no limit on the number of substitutions, so everyone in the team can be trained, and the team's physical distribution is relatively even.

Before July 20, Hoffenheim had played three warm-up games, with two wins and one draw, and the team performed well, but their warm-up opponents were weak, and the media felt that there was little reference value.

For Hoffenheim, there is another piece of bad news.

Brazilian striker Wellington, who spent 4.5 million euros this season, has suffered a calf muscle fiber strain in training and will have to rest for at least three weeks. He has just been about to integrate into the team, and he has experienced such an injury, which is a big blow to his future in the new season. Pre-season time is precious and new players have to use this short time to get used to the team as well as possible and adapt to the team's tactical play. Because the manager doesn't give a chance to the rookies who haven't adapted to the team in the middle of the season. If you get injured before the season, you will not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the team, you will not be able to integrate into the team, the so-called one step is late, one step is late, and you will always fall behind.

Chu Zhongtian is also facing such a problem, although he is not worried that he will be taken the main position by the head coach in a short time, but if he is unable to show his ability after the start of the season, then the bench is his final destination. Rangnick could have admitted that he had seen the wrong person, but he wouldn't have it so easy.

So during this time, he worked hard, worked hard in training, and when he got home, he didn't bother talking to Emily on the phone, but studied the Hoffenheim game video in front of the TV, and at the same time thought about how he would lead such a team on the pitch.

On the club side, Dietma. The Hope Arena is not ready to meet the requirements of the Bundesliga, and Hoffenheim has already built a new stadium in nearby Sinsheim, which is expected to open in January next year. In fact, back in the Bundesliga, Dietma. Hope Stadium was expanded because it could not meet the target, increasing the number of seats from 5,000 to 6,350, and after being promoted to the Bundesliga, the stadium could not be expanded anymore and had to be abandoned. Dietma. Opened in 1999 on the occasion of the club's centenary, the Hope Stadium saw Hoffenheim go from a small team that had been unknown to a promoted Bundesliga team in the nine years from 2000 to 2008.

The stadium is now used for the Baden-Württemberg state league for the reserve and youth teams.

Hoffenheim's first Bundesliga season will be played at the Karl Benz Stadium, home of the nearby Mannheim team, before the new Rhine-Neckar Arena in Sinsheim is built, and after half a season, they will move into their new home with a capacity of 30,000 people.

At the same time, because the team was promoted to the Bundesliga, for the development of the club, the little Hoffenheim can no longer accommodate this team that intends to spread its wings. The club then moved its headquarters to the city of Sinsheim, next to the future Rhine-Neckar Arena.

Of course, they didn't mean to cut ties with Hoffenheim. The team's training base and the old club headquarters continue to be used. After all, Hoffenheim is the foundation of the team, with a population of 3,000 and more than half of the club's registered members. The club now has 1,800 registered members, almost all of whom come from the small area of Hoffenheim.

Only at this time, the team was not in the training base in Hoffenheim, there were only youth and junior teams, and the senior team was taken by Rangnick to Ogun, Austria, where they were trained in a training camp.

The injured Wellington was sent back to Hoffenheim from Ogan, where he will be treated at one of only three high-tech clinics in German football.

On 21 July, Hoffenheim hosted their fourth warm-up game at Nobadna, and their strongest opponent to date was Blackburn Rovers, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, and they came close to qualifying for the new European season.

This team has England's international Paul. Robinson (paul_robinson), Turkey international Tugay, Swiss international Vogel (johann_vogel), Senegalese striker Diouf (El-hadji_diouf), young Chilean international Carlos. Villanueva (carlos_villanueva), the leading scorer of the South African national team McCarthy (benni_mccarthy), and the Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz (roque_santa_cruz), who played for Bayern Munich.

But the most famous star of their squad is the team's manager, former England and Manchester United passer Paul. Ince (paul_ince).

Chu Zhongtian also knows something about this person, but what he understands is not the situation when he plays, but the situation when he is the head coach. Who gave Wimbledon a sworn enemy?

Last season Paul. Ince coached Milton Keynes Keynes and led the team to the English Second Division title.

This season Paul. Ince has arrived at Blackburn Rovers and the Blackburn hierarchy are clearly hoping that Ince can take the team to the next level of success and aim to qualify for next season's European competition.

Blackburn Rovers were also in a pre-season training camp in Austria, so the two teams discussed such a warm-up game.

Austria is next to Germany, and Hoffenheim has the support of 500 fans who have travelled from Germany for this match. And Blackburn has nothing.

Chu Zhongtian still did not start this game, although he has become more familiar with the team through training and game videos.

In the first half, Salihovic was still in control of the team's attack and he was also active in defence. He knows his weakness is that he doesn't contribute enough defensively.

It's a pity that Salihovic tried to balance both offense and defense, and the result was that he didn't take care of both ends.

Throughout the first half, Salihovic didn't create any decent chances for his team. Fortunately, Blackburn Rovers did not score either, and the two sides exchanged scores, ending the first half with a score of 0:0.

At halftime, Rangnick finally made the decision to let Chu Zhongtian play, which was the longest playing time Chu Zhongtian has gained since joining the team.

This time, those who were waiting to see what Chu Zhongtian was capable of could feast their eyes on, because Chu Zhongtian would have forty-five minutes to show his ability.

It's a pity that only 500 Hoffenheim fans came this time, which is far worse than the first warm-up game. And because Hoffenheim is training in Austria, there are not many media that come here - three German media and five Chinese media.

In this warm-up game, Rangnick did not replace all 11 players in the second half as in the previous three warm-up games, and the starters such as Salihovic and Ibisevic were all on the field.

Ibisevic has scored two goals in the warm-up game, both of which came from Salihovic's assists, and judging from the performance in the warm-up game, he showed his ability earlier than Chu Zhongtian.

At halftime, the Chinese reporters were still bored guessing how much time Rangnick planned to give Chu Zhongtian in this game, but they didn't expect that at the beginning of the second half, they found Chu Zhongtian wearing the No. 8 jersey on the court!

This made the Chinese reporters excited for a while, opened their laptops, and typed this sentence on the keyboard: "Chu Zhongtian came off the bench in the second half and got forty-five minutes, which is his longest appearance since joining Hoffenheim!" ”

Chu Zhongtian's position is the same as in training: the back waist.

At half-time, Rangnick announced a tactical change - everything is centered on Chu Zhongtian, giving him full tactical freedom, while the rest of the team has to try to cooperate with Chu Zhongtian.

Although they were skeptical about Chu Zhongtian's ability, Salihovic and several other teammates were also curious, and they also wanted to see what this guy was capable of in the game.

These days, Ibisevic, who lives in the same room with him, always tells him about Chu Zhongtian's power, with a look of "as long as you hand over the football to Chu, you don't have to worry about anything, you just need to cooperate with him to run", which makes Salihovic's curiosity stronger than anyone else.

He decided to follow the head coach's arrangement to see if Chu Zhongtian was really as good as Ibisevic said in the game.

Chu Zhongtian also knows how important this warm-up match with Blackburn is to him, this is the real first step, if the first step is good, the road behind will be smoother and smoother, if you don't go well...... But it's troublesome.

In addition, he also wants to give Paul, who led Milton Keynes to promotion. Ince a greeting gift...... What is the best greeting gift? Give him a defeat!
