Chapter 375: The Last Glory?

Although Beta's physical improvement has given Rangnick hope to restart the "scavenger" tactic. But Rangnick didn't put this tactic into practice quickly www.biquge.info after all, Beta is still very different from Beckenbauer in terms of strength.

Without the ability to pass and control, Beta's position in this tactic is more embarrassing!

Rangnick also has his own idea, that is, to use Beta's ability characteristics to create a new "1-4-3-2" formation, this 1 refers to the goalkeeper, and Beta is completely free, making him a free man on the field!

But it takes courage to make such a change!

Rangnick needs to get his players fully accustomed to Beta's position changes during the team's training matches, play to an effect, and then apply them to the game.

Otherwise, Rangnick fears that Beta will be crushed by the pressure of public opinion - after all, it is a reversal of Beckenbauer's concept of scavengers! Beckenbauer is an authority among authorities in German football, and there are not too many media outlets who want to cheer for him.

……

In the away game against Hannover on 18 October, Rangnick lined up in a regular 4-4-2 formation and gave Beta a certain amount of forward clearance.

But Hannover are not particularly strong teams, originally they could only be ranked in the middle, after a number of changes of coaches, the strength has fluctuated significantly, especially this season, they have a bad start, and now hang at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings.

Therefore, Hoffenheim, who ranks first in points, despite the absence of the main striker, still has a big gap in strength between the two teams.

Yes, Hoffenheim beat Hannover 5:2.

In this game, Beta scored two goals and performed very well, but his teammates also stepped up, Demba Ba, Obasi and Salihovic each scored a goal, which made Hannover's counterattack meaningless.

This result made many media who predicted before the game that Hoffenheim were going to start their journey to drop points feel hot!

There's no reason for that!

How could Hoffenheim not be affected at all after losing a main striker who was the number one scorer in the scoring charts?

The media shouted incredulous, and in their post-match press conference, they flocked to Rangnick with their questions.

"We are a strong team and although Ibyšević's injury caught us off guard and affected us to a certain extent, but luckily we have a lot of good players and they have stepped up at this time, as you can see, Beta, Demba Ba, Obasi, Salihovic and many other players have been great!" Rangnick gave all the credit to his disciples.

"Is it possible to think that whether Ibisevic is injured or not, it will not have much impact on Hoffenheim's strength?" Some media slyly dug a hole for Rangnick.

Naturally, Rangnick was not fooled, and he said lightly: "Every player is important to Hoffenheim! It's the same with Ibisevic, he's an important part of us and we hope he gets back soon, because we need his strength to win the title! ”

As soon as these words came out, the media present became excited.

This is the first time Rangnick has made a declaration of victory!

"Mr. Rangnick, do you mean you want to compete for the Bundesliga title this season?" One of the media couldn't believe his ears and asked bluntly.

"That's right!" Rangnick did as he wished.

The next day, Hoffenheim's previous negative news of the injured players was gone, and the media was excitedly discussing the ambitions of Hoffenheim to be promoted.

"We don't want to win the Bundesliga, we want the Europa League!" The newspaper Sinsheim Sport excitedly cheered for the team, even more courageous than Rangnick, and shouted the slogan of the double.

Of course, many media outlets are not optimistic, and despite Hoffenheim's current strength and unbeaten record at the top of the table, they still don't think Hoffenheim can win the Bundesliga.

"Rangnick is blinded by the spectacle in front of him, Hoffenheim will meet Waterloo!" "Slow Motion" published a long article on the reasons why it was not optimistic about Hoffenheim.

They believe that Ibisevic's injury has greatly reduced Hoffenheim's strength, and the reason why he can still beat Hannover is also because of good luck and met a weaker opponent.

With an in-form goalscorer like Ibisevic, Hoffenheim were able to use his formidable attacking group to defeat their opponents.

But now that Ibisevic is injured, the remaining two black strikers are good but inconsistent, and only the veteran Kopado is left on the bench, once there is another injury, it will be difficult for Hoffenheim to play!

Beta is indeed a defender who can score goals in German and even world football in recent years, and it is rare to see it in ten years!

However, "Slow Motion" believes that you can't have it both ways, and if Hoffenheim wants Beta to tilt more attention on the offensive end, then Beta's role on the defensive end will be greatly reduced.

They believe that in the game against Hannover, at the beginning of the second half, Hannover pulled back two points in a row because Beta was too involved in the attack, which led to a hole in the team's defense!

This is not entirely true, but Hoffenheim does have such pitfalls.

In a variety of ways, "Slow Motion" feels that Hoffenheim's current glory has reached a tipping point, and in the future, Hoffenheim will go downhill, if not fall into the relegation zone, it will not stay at the top of the table for long.

"Maybe in the next game against Hamburg, all of Hoffenheim's weaknesses will be exposed." Hamburg have also been on a strong start this season, and they are currently second in the standings behind Hoffenheim!

What Beta and his teammates are most worried about is the last sentence of the "Slow Motion" report: "Although Hoffenheim will end up missing out on the Bundesliga title, it doesn't matter, they are good enough, and the promotion horses can be at the top of the table for so long, which is enough for them to be proud of!" ”

"What do you mean to be proud?" Gustavo exclaimed angrily, "Should we be struggling in the relegation zone when we are promoted?" ”

Tebel was also very unhappy, he said: "These people are all snobs, they think that Bayern should win the championship every year, and other teams shout that they want to win the championship, they are beyond their means!" ”

Beta huffed and said, "Since they are so dismissive of us! We're going to win this championship even more! ”

"That's right!" Gustavo excitedly rolled up his sleeves, showing his muscles, "Slap them in the face hard!" ”
