Karlsruhe still had to prepare for the game against Bierralfeld, but after returning that day, Becker still gave the players a holiday, the derby not only consumed the players' physical strength, but also greatly consumed the players' spirit, the players are human beings, not machines, they need to rest their tense nerves, and then prepare for a more difficult match.

Li Huan originally planned to accompany Li Bing and a few people to the Black Forest to play the next day, but because Wana accidentally collided with Li Bing and a few people, Li Bing, Shen Yu, Chu Shengnan and Zhao Mei returned to Munich the next day, and Wana also returned to Sinsheim angrily, Li Huan had to play games at home alone.

When it was almost noon, Li Huan bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the hospital to visit the injured Federico, it happened that Martins and Caparini were also there, Federico's expression was a little sluggish, this injury hit him hard, seeing Li Huan coming, he reluctantly smiled and said, "Thank you Li." ”

Li Huan put the flowers on the windowsill and said, "What's polite, take care of your injuries." ”

Federico said: "Actually, I thank you for kicking that free kick in and winning this game, otherwise I would have suffered this injury in vain." ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "I said it, I want to prove that they are soft eggs." It's just a pity for your injury. How long does it take for the doctor to heal? ”

Federico said weakly: "It will take at least two months to be able to train with the ball, and it will take at least three months if you want to play." ”

Li Huan calculated the time and said, "Okay, you can still catch up with the decisive battle in the final period, if we can bite in both the German Cup and the league." ”

Martins said: "It's only December 19th, and when you can play, it's about mid-March, and there are still two months to play, so don't worry, just take a break." ”

Federico said: "This rest is all about money, appearance fees, goal awards, assist awards, and advertising costs, all of which are in vain." ”

Li Huan, Martins, and Caparini were all speechless, and Li Huan said halfway: "That's only a few dollars, and I feel that your kid is sacrificing his life and money." ”

Federico said: "No matter how little money is, it's money, once you get injured, these are gone, and it's easy to get ahead, but you were injured again, at that time, I shouldn't have forced the door, just dodge, isn't it just two points." I think that bitch is going to take her feet. ”

Caparini said: 'It's hard to say, at that time, most people would choose to shoot, and their brains were hot, and they could not care so much. ”

Federico said to Li Huan: "You should also be careful, there are many people who lack morality on the court, and you are also a big trick now, the opponent even uses the marking defense, and there are no tricks that you can't use." The feeling of being injured is really bad, I have the heart to die, I really can't do it, I will go back to my hometown to recuperate, so as not to watch you play football in a hurry. ”

Caparini said: "Giovanni is right, Lee, you should also be careful, now other teams do not have much to do with you to defend, and lethal tactics are definitely indispensable." When it's time to exert force, it is not cost-effective to get injured. ”

Li Huan said with a smile: "If you don't dare to play if you are frightened by the opponent, then how to play in the future, but it's good to take it easy, it's impossible to play professional football without getting hurt." ”

Martins said: "It's still Li who looks at it, but now the coach has to have a headache for the future style of play, who can take Giovanni's position, even if he has Giovanni's shooting skills and impact, he may not be able to cooperate with Lee's tacit understanding." ”

Federico looked at Martins and said: "Kuroko, you have to fight, I think you have a good chance, your skills are good, play a little more concisely, it will definitely work." ”

Martins showed a hint of blush on his dark face, pointed to his nose, and said, "Me? How can I do it, I'm just a substitute, the team is much older than me, Mastinis can move to the right, Giman has a lot of experience, he played in right midfield until Giovanni arrived. ”

Capparini patted Martins on the shoulder, "Your kid's advantage is that he has a good relationship with Li Huan, as long as he can cooperate with Li Huan, Coach Becker will give priority to you." ”

Federico said: "Kuroko, you usually pay attention to Li Huan's running, if you are allowed to play, don't just focus on attacking yourself, think about making up for Li Huan's defense, don't always think that the central defender will do this." It's okay to run a few extra steps, as long as you can do that, I think you should have a chance. ”

Federico's words were very real, because if Martins really came to power, he would be one of Federico's competitors, Martins quickly took a banana to Federico and said gratefully: "Giovanni, thank you for your advice." ”

Federico said: "Thank me for what, anyway, the coach always has to find a replacement, if you can't find it in the team, maybe the manager will buy someone during the winter break, now the team is in a good situation, the Bundesliga is the best time, the club will not be reluctant to pay this money." But it still depends on whether Li Huan is willing to cooperate with you, if you are unwilling, it is useless for you to play well. ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay if you want me to cooperate, Martins, you have a treat today, I have a good meal with Capalani, then there will definitely be no problem with cooperation." ”

Capalani also deliberately said seriously: "Yes, he didn't even invite him to eat, who would cooperate with him." ”

Martins was a straightforward person, and hurriedly said, "I ask me to please." ”

Federico said: "Don't bully honest people like this, those who came to visit me today are all my guests, and I have a treat today." ”

Capalani and Li Huan stood up, pulled Martins, and said, "Giovanni, you can recuperate with peace of mind, Martins is sure to treat you today." ”

Li Huan patted Federico on the shoulder, squeezed his eyes at him, and said, "You have a good rest, let's go out to eat, and I'll come to see you later." ”

Federico said: "Okay, you must kill Bielefeld, I want to win the German Cup after I recover from my injury." ”

Li Huan said lightly: "Don't worry, we will definitely kill Bielefeld, regardless of whether he is in the Bundesliga or the Bundesliga, those who stand in front of us will all be trampled to death." We want to win the Bundesliga and the German Cup. ”

――

After the last league game before the winter break, the teams without the German Cup are on holiday to prepare for Christmas, and the teams with the German Cup are actively preparing for the last game before Christmas.

Becker had long ago carefully studied Bielefeld, the German Cup opponent, Bielefeld is not a strong team in the Bundesliga, there is no top scorer in the team, there is no creative midfield commander, they are a team that relies on the whole team. Bielefeld's weakness is their poor attacking power, which has also been their chronic illness in recent years. Last season, they scored just 32 goals, the bottom of the Bundesliga, but this season they have improved their attacking power with the introduction of South African striker Kurt Zouma and Ahanforf, who scored nine goals in Duisburg.

Of course, Becker is very clear that Bielefeld's attack is not strong relative to the defense of the Bundesliga team, and against the Bundesliga team, this forward line is not necessarily weak, and it is likely to be more ferocious than the strongest firepower of the Bundesliga. Therefore, Becker mainly wants to focus on me, stabilize the defense, and use the cooperation of Li Huan and Federico to play counterattacks on the right side, and maybe there is a certain chance of winning. But Federico didn't expect to break a bone after the last league game, which gave Becker a lot of headaches, and he hardly knew how to play this German Cup.

After returning from vacation, Karlsruhe began to look for Federico's stand-in, in the team's group confrontation, Becker used many combinations on the right side in a row, in order to combine Li Huan, Federico and Caparini's super right attack group again, Becker first transferred Madinis to the right side, let Li Huan and Madinis cooperate on the right side, Madinis has outstanding skills, although the defense is a little worse, but Becker believes that the best defense is offense, As long as Li Huan and Madinis can play an offensive frenzy on the side and completely suppress the opponent, Mastinis's almost defensive flaws are actually nothing.

But after a few experiments, Becker sadly found that Mastinis's defensive ability is not to mention, his offensive ** is too strong, he should not pass or not, he should not shoot hard shots, he is not cooperating with Li Huan on the side, he wants Li Huan to give him a trick, and it is normal for ordinary fullbacks to plug in the offensive tricks, but Li Huan is a super fierce man, and his ability to shoot and cross is super strong, he is used as a trick, and Masdinis himself is unwilling to pass. As a result, the attack on the right side almost dropped a notch compared with Li Huan and Federico, Li Huan had not yet gone crazy, Mr. Capalani was angry, and kept complaining to Hoss, saying that if he wanted to let Mastynis play on the right side again, he would switch to the left side with Ferres.

However, what makes Becker really die is Mastinis's defense, Li Huan is super capable on the side, and most of the time he can return to the defensive line, but occasionally when the opponent counterattacks and plays fast, it is normal not to go back, Madinis should intercept in the midfield, or go back to fill the position as soon as possible, but Madinis doesn't ask about the back line at all, as if that is Li Huan's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with him. Becker angrily put Madinis on the bench again, and Madinis is only suitable to be a substitute, and when the game can't be played, he comes out to change the attacking tempo.

The second player used by Becker is Gilman, this is the player who played the right midfielder before Federico arrived, it turned out that Becker had not found out how slow he was, but when he cooperated with Li Huan, Becker found that his name was really appropriate, it was indeed extremely slow, he was also active in defending and attacking, but he went back to defend, when Li Huan stepped forward again, he couldn't keep up, Li Huan ran to the opponent's penalty area, and Gilman was still dangling in the middle circle. The two of them are not worthy of being together in terms of offense and defense.

In the end, Becker used Martins, but he didn't have much hope, he felt that if it really didn't work, he would buy a good midfielder and cooperate with Li Huan when the transfer market opened in the winter, at this time he could no longer be reluctant to spend money, Federico didn't know when he would be able to play, and even if he played, he didn't know what the state was, he must now find a reliable person, at least a player who can let Li Huan play normally, so as to ensure that the dream of promotion in Karlsruhe next year will not encounter accidents.

But although Martins was a little rusty at the beginning, then the two of them got better and better, Martins' skills are good, and the speed is not slow, although the experience is a little worse, but Li Huan and Capalani are willing to carry him, and often give him loud commands in the game, Martins is also very modest, not as arrogant as Mastinis, nor as dead as Giman, and learns quickly, although it is impossible to reach Federico's level, but it can barely be used. In the last two days, Becker stepped up to train the cooperation between Li Huan, Martins and Capalani, so that there was more tacit understanding between them, the opponent Bielefeld was not their teammate in the training match, it was a first-division team, against such a team, how Martins, who was just 20 years old, could play, is still unknown. Not everyone is as young and old as Li Huan, only 22 years old, and he is already mature like a thirty-two-year-old person.

Bielefeld is the most famous lift team, with seven promotions to the Bundesliga and six relegations in its 100-year professional history, both of which are the most of any team. Bielefeld's longest stay in the Bundesliga was five seasons from 1980-81 to 1984-85, and in 2004-05 it was promoted again, and last year they finished 13th in the Bundesliga and were relegated. For them, the German Cup is to play wherever they want, but against a Bundesliga team like Karlsruhe, they still hope to qualify, after all, they are a Bundesliga team, if they lose to a lower team, they will not be able to get over the face, and it will also affect the morale of the team.

Bielefeld's head coach Hesse has been with Bielefeld since 1994, except for a brief absence, where he has been the club's sporting director for a long time. He only succeeded Bolder Lapard as Bielefeld manager on July 1 this year, his third appointment as head coach, having previously been the head coach of regional side East Westphalia and briefly as interim coach for Bielefeld two years ago. Hesse is very familiar with this team, and it is by no means comparable to other coaches who have taken over on an interim basis.

Since knowing that the opponent is Karlsruhe, the current leader of the German Second Division, Hesse has also occasionally paid attention to this team, mainly focusing on the Chinese defender Li in the Karlsruhe team, this defender has now attracted widespread attention in German football, and there are many teams that covet this defender, Hesse at least knows that Bayern, Stuttgart, and Dortmund are all interested in China Li, and it is said that Bayern's scouting director Breitner has been to the stadium several times to watch Li Huan's games, Stuttgart has a close relationship with Watts, the agent of Li in China, who used to work in Stuttgart for a long time, and now Stuttgart almost treats Li Huan as their confinement.

Hesse also needs such a player, but he is very self-aware, knowing that they are simply not able to compete with those giant crocodiles in the Bundesliga for this piece of fat, he mainly observes, how to deal with this right-back who is said to be the strongest attacking force since the establishment of the German Second Division, it is said that the two words should be removed, because this Chinese Li is now at the top of the scorer list, scoring 15 goals as a defender, and this is only the league, and he also scored 5 goals in the German Cup. These are extremely terrifying figures. In addition, this defender also has a terrifying nickname, Xiao Li Feidao, he has so far taken 100 free kicks, dealing with such a player, think about it is a headache for Hesse, if Karlsruhe is a Bundesliga team, Hesse will give up the German Cup, he does not expect his team to win the championship, for Bielefeld, which is run by a small capital, relegation is good. But this is a Bundesliga team, and if you lose to them, you will definitely be scolded by the fans. However, at the end of the final league game, there was good news, Karlsruhe's midfield

Federico is injured, this is the second scorer in the German Second Division, and he is also the player who has the most tacit cooperation with China Li, his injury will reduce Karlsruhe's attack by more than half, Hesse was relieved to sleep peacefully when he heard the news, and now he only needs to deal with that defender. Hesse believes his Bundesliga defence will not have a problem resisting an attack from a Bundesliga defender.

The German Cup 16-8 match was played at the Wilder Park Stadium, the home stadium of Karlsruhe, which was also specially arranged by the German FA, when the higher-level teams and the lower-division teams played, they were basically arranged at the home stadium of the lower-division teams, which was also to increase the income of the lower-division teams. Karlsruhe this season's German Cup this is the first time to play at home, Karlsruhe fans have long been ready to go to the scene to cheer for their team, this season's Karlsruhe record is very gratifying, the number of foreign fans has increased dramatically, the last few rounds of the league have a lot of foreign fans and foreign fans come to watch, mainly from Asia China, they are also mainly to see their star Li Huan. Although Karlsruhe faced a higher-tier Bundesliga team in the German Cup, and their midfielder Federico was injured, the fans were still confident in their team, and they believed that as long as Li Huan was there, Karlsruhe would definitely be able to eliminate Bielefeld.
