Chapter 331: Hoffenheim's Strength Analysis
Hoffenheim started with three consecutive wins, which is a fairytale dream for a promoted horse and a small club!
In the dream that this team has woven for them, the fans proudly upturn the corners of their mouths, exuding proud glory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, the media outside the Sinsheim area received mixed reviews.
There are those who praise Hoffenheim's performance and expect them to complete the second "Kaiserslautern myth", and there are those who denigrate Hoffenheim and swear that they will meet Waterloo!
"Kicker" is relatively fair, and they carefully analyze the reasons why Hoffenheim won all three of their first games.
"The opponents in the first and second rounds are not representative, neither Ivbus nor Borussia Mönchengladbach are strong teams in this Bundesliga! So it is not a difficult thing for Hoffenheim to defeat them! ”
"The opponent in the third round, Leverkusen, is indeed a strong opponent of Hoffenheim, but Leverkusen's strength can only be regarded as the middle and upper level of the Bundesliga!"
"From the game, we can see that Hoffenheim's victory came hard and it was thrilling! It's not like the first two rounds, where you can play overwhelmingly! ”
"Therefore, it can be inferred that Hoffenheim is not as invincible as everyone thinks now, and when Hoffenheim meets Bayern, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and other real first-class teams in the Bundesliga, it is when their real challenge comes!"
"I don't believe Hoffenheim could have created such a miracle as the myth of Kaiserslautern! After all, miracles are too hard! ”
"But I don't deny Hoffenheim how good they are! As a promoted horse, it is a miracle in itself to be able to achieve the current results......"
Although this report is neutral, it has a somewhat lofty posture, which makes Beta a little unhappy after reading it.
What does it mean to really face a strong team? Aren't they a strong team?
What does it mean to have an impossible miracle? Because miracles are too hard?
What does it mean that it is already a miracle that a promoted horse does this?
Beta felt that these people always looked at Hoffenheim with colored glasses!
What happened to the promoted horses?
Is promotion a cut below your Bundesliga team?
Can't a promoted horse have an ambition to win the championship?
......
However, the statement of "Kicker" is not wrong, limited to the funds in Rangnick's hands during the summer transfer period, Hoffenheim's lineup is still a big gap compared to the strong teams in the Bundesliga!
Maybe they can play an overwhelming advantage in some positions, but in terms of overall squad strength, Hoffenheim is still weaker than their opponents!
Even compared to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hoffenheim's overall strength is a little bit worse.
Therefore, whether Hoffenheim can defeat their opponents depends on whether they can play an advantage in a strong position! And it takes a big advantage to fill in the gaps in other areas!
For example, in the game with Leverkusen, Hoffenheim's forwards were slightly better, but the midfielders of Leverkusen were better than Eduardo and Weiss in organizing the attack!
So their overall offensive ability is stronger than Hoffenheim! That's why they always play dangerous attacks!
On the back line, except for Beta, the offensive ability of other players is far inferior to that of Bayer Leverkusen, who likes to cut forward!
Even, the defensive ability is not as good as theirs!
But because of a world-class defender Beta, Beta's command and complement positions have fused everyone's abilities together, so their defense line feels like an impregnable wall!
And in the goalkeeper position, Hildebrand is slightly inferior to Adler in this era!
But Hildebrand isn't bad either!
So defensively, Hoffenheim did better than Bayer Leverkusen.
But the defense cannot be won! If Leverkusen hadn't been in a daze with Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim wouldn't have been able to bargain!
The next match, Hoffenheim and Stuttgart, proved it!
On 13 September, Hoffenheim host Stuttgart.
Hoffenheim made a slight change to the line-up, with Ibertsberg returning from injury returning to the starting line-up and Jaisler on the bench.
This is a good reinforcement for Hoffenheim's defence, after all, Ibertsberg is still slightly stronger than Jaisler.
At the end of last season, Ibertsberg gradually replaced Loew's starting position, and this season, in the team's training matches, Loew gradually showed that he could not keep up with the rhythm of the Bundesliga, so the outstanding Ibertsberg sat in the starting position.
In the forward position, Obasi, who came back from the Olympics, did not start, and Ibisevic's form in front of him was really hot, and Obasi, who had played against Messi in the Olympic final, could only be relegated to the bench.
And Stuttgart's coach Amin Fei also changed the formation and played a relatively rare 3-4-2-1 formation!
On the back waistline, there is Khedira, who is familiar with Beta!
"After two years, I've finally caught up with you!" When Khedira was promoted to the main team, Beta was still playing in the regional league.
Beta followed Hoffenheim to slowly climb up level by level, and finally had the opportunity to compete with this young generation of star midfielders in the Bundesliga!
Don't look at Beta's dominance in the Bundesliga, and even breaking the record in the German Cup and leading the team to the championship, his momentum is still very different from that of Khedira!
In the 2006-2007 season, he made 22 appearances for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga and scored four goals!
With an excellent sense of the big picture and command ability, he is known as the most ballak-like player of the new generation in Germany!
Khedira and Beta, the positions of the two are very close, Beta has also played in the back, but one is a rising star in Germany, and the other is a yellow man who broke the record of the Germans, and the center of gravity touted by the media will naturally shift!
So Beta was not very convinced of Khedira, and the idea of defeating him was never extinguished!
So in this game, Beta was extremely active, attacking in the front court and defending in the back court!
But Hoffenheim was not able to break Stuttgart's goal, and although the formation of three defenders and six midfielders was a bit strange, it was not weak in defense!
They imitated Barcelona's style of play, laid down heavy troops in the midfield, and used sharp scrambling and ball control to directly stifle Hoffenheim's attack in the midfield - the ball can't be passed, how to attack?
Even if Beta used heavy artillery, he could only get his feet up from a long distance, and the threat was greatly reduced!
However, although Hoffenheim's offense can't play, their defense is not vegetarian!
The backfield led by Beta, plus Gustavo, and Tebel, who was later replaced by Rangnick, also made Stuttgart's forwards and midfielders feel uncomfortable.
Of course, it was Hildebrand who played the most eye.
In this game, he completely broke out, three must-goal blocks, nine saves in the frame of the whole game, and Hildebrand showed the demeanor of a former top goalkeeper!
However, the game ended in a 0-0 draw.
Hoffenheim's winning streak was ended.
