Chapter 35: Opportunity for Mixed Training Tournament (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
After the opening game, Hoffenheim had two back-to-back away games. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In both games, Beta was not selected for the squad, and he listened to the live broadcast of the game with the uncles in the canteen on the tape recorder at the base.
That's right, the matches in the third division are almost not broadcast live, and perhaps in the last few rounds, when the promotion battle is really hot, the TV station will arrange live broadcasts.
And in these two games, Beta was very depressed in his heart, because whether it was the young team Hesse Kassel in the second round or Bayern Munich II in the third round, Hoffenheim lost 0:1 to the opponent.
In these two games, it can be seen that Rangnick has been trying a new lineup. He put Marić back in the starting line-up, put Sebastian Hoeness (Note 1) of the Hoeness family in German football in midfield, and Salihovic, who was originally in the middle field, replaced the red-carded Saitz at right-back.
But such a forward line is particularly weak in the face of the strange 4141 turtle shrinkage formation of Hesse Kassel and the 3232 formation of Bayern Munich II team!
Both teams used a strong midfield to separate Hoffenheim's forward line from the midfield, leaving Marić without the support of his teammates in the front, and it was difficult for him to get a chance to shoot, let alone score!
Of course, Marić was not without chances, and against Bayern Munich, he once burst into the opposition penalty area and almost caused a goal. Unfortunately, against an excellent goalkeeper like Mitchell Rensing, who is hailed as the successor to the Lion King Kahn, Marić's goal was firmly held in his arms.
However, to say that the real reason for Hoffenheim's loss cannot be entirely attributed to the frontcourt!
Hoffenheim's defense can be said to be indescribably bad!
Hesse Kassel played in the state league of Hesse last season, and the tactics adopted by the promoted horses against Hoffenheim were to set up buses. However, in the 56th minute of the second half, they had a trial attack that paid off!
And in the face of Bayern's second team's not strong forward line, Hoffenheim should have the strength to fight. However, the successive mistakes of Haas and other backfield players made Hoffenheim's penalty area a battlefield for Bayern's second team!
It's also a shame that Kirschbaum doesn't know if it's a drug, this guy saved several goals that Bayern almost had to score, otherwise, Hoffenheim may lose by a big score!
Of course, whether it is a 0:1 loss or a 0:10 loss, this has the same effect in the points calculation!
After three rounds, Hoffenheim ranked 16th with a record of 1 draw and 2 losses and only 1 point, with a total of 18 teams in the Southern League......
From fourth place last season to third place this season, or the bottom, Hoffenheim, the largest investment, has become the laughing stock of the entire regional league and even the whole of Germany!
Even the famous German football media "Picture Sports" used a headline to ridicule the former Schalke coach Rangnick: "Rangnick went to the regional league and was not adaptable. ”
This is just a joke, many media who like to join in the fun have jumped out, some of them have criticized Rangnick's way of spending money to buy people, saying that he has the worst eyesight, spending 880,000 euros, and only ranking third from the bottom.
Some questioned his coaching level, including the Taunu Stein Regional Newspaper, many teams that don't look down on Hoffenheim spending money have written articles, suggesting that Hoffenheim's owner Hope should quickly change people, otherwise this season, let alone promotion, I'm afraid relegation is a problem!
Isn't it? They all stepped on the relegation zone! The regional league is relegated from the bottom three......
The overwhelming criticism made Hoffenheim's own fans a little unable to sit still. Although they still have a hint of illusion about Rangnick, they can't help but run to the training ground to ask what is wrong with the team.
However, Hoffenheim at this time was exceptionally low-key, and no one responded to these doubts and ridicule.
The owner, Hope, still believes in Rangnick, and he personally calls to comfort Rangnick. But Rangnick himself knew he wouldn't have too many chances! The team is fighting for promotion to the second division, and Hope will not allow himself to fail again!
"Shendel Meyze, I need Yankel, yes, please help me bring him back!" After hanging up the phone, Rangnick arrived at the training arena with a tired body.
"The team is facing great difficulties!" Rangnick looked at the players standing neatly in front of him, looked at them deeply, and said, "We need a more solid backfield to help our goalkeeper guard the backfield!" ”
"So that our midfielders and forwards can participate in the attack with confidence!"
Rangnick said: "I'm not happy with our starting backline, and I don't have confidence in our midfield and up front. As I said, no one has the privilege of playing, even if you're a veteran! ”
Beta held his chest high, and he looked at Rangnick with a wistful expression, thinking to himself, "Boss, send me on the field!" I can help you stabilize your defense at the back! ”
But Rangnick didn't notice him.
"Next, I will still take the form of a training match and select 18 players for the 19th home game against Eversburg!" Rangnick held up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a light, "This time I don't make up the main team, and it's not convenient to substitute the team, each player takes turns to draw lots according to their position, and then divides the two teams of red and blue!" ”
"Thirty minutes and a half training matches, if you play well, I will choose to join the list." Rangnick finally said with a hint of threat, "But if you don't play well, and I find out that you've been slacking off in training lately, I'll let you go to the second team to watch!" ”
Now, everyone is not calm!
Go to the second team? That's the Baden-Württemberg-State League in the fourth division! That's no different from being beaten into the cold palace!
Beta was the only one standing with his hands behind his back, his head held high, his face full of perseverance and conviction!
No matter what kind of game it is, he will give it his all! What's more, it was such a crucial intra-team training match, Beta couldn't hold it anymore, he wanted to show his best defense to Rangnick, and he wanted to fight for the qualification to play in the official game!
All the players are disrupted in the grouping, which means that there will be no crushing performance of the main team to complete the substitute team! After knowing the grouping situation, there was a lot of discussion in the locker room, and suddenly there was a lot of noise.
"Beta, haha, big brother is finally going to be on the same team with you!" Mariki laughed and hugged Beta, "But I'm relieved to have you there!" ”
Beta smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Marić, in our team, only Loew and Kirschbaum are in the starting lineup, aren't you worried?" ”
Look, their backcourt is a bit like the backcourt of the substitute team that Beta played at the beginning of the season. It's just that Loew and Kirschbaum of the substitute team have played in all three games, so Beta often jokes that they have come out of the big mud pool of the substitute team.
"Worried about what? Beta, I believe in your abilities, and I've always felt that you should be the one our boss wants! Marić patted Beta on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Come on, you can help me take care of the backcourt!" ”
I don't know if there is an exaggeration, but Beta was so excited by the veteran's words that he puffed up his chest, stared at him and shouted, "Yes!" ”
At this time, a voice with a very strange tone came: "Hmph, it's really unashamed!" ”
When I turned my head, I saw Haas, who had been assigned to the red team and was wearing a red vest.
Haas said with a look of disdain: "It's really funny that a kid who can't even get into the eighteen-man list still wants to be the savior of the team!" Marić, you can't score, is it because you're confused? Do you also look up to such people? ”
Before this, Beta had been coldly spoken by him and deliberately sarcastic many times. He had endured it before, but this time, Haas was sarcastic about his good friend!
Suddenly, Marić felt a gust of wind around him, and Beta stepped in front of Haas. Haas didn't have time to resist, only felt a huge force tugging at his jersey.
Beta actually pulled him off the ground and hung his legs in the air!
Note 1: Sebastian Honess, his father is the former president of Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg Dieter Hoene?, and his uncle is the famous former Bayern chairman Uli Hoane?, it can be said that after the goal, Sebastian is only 24 years old this year.
