Last season, Hoffenheim won the German Cup, so they had a chance to play in the Europa League! And according to the rules of the Europa League, the winner of the German Cup can skip the qualifiers and go directly to the first round of the final!

After the draw, Hoffenheim's opponent in the first round has been released, which is Udinese in Serie A!

Udinese are also an established Serie A side, finishing seventh under their new boss Pascule Marino last season and qualifying for the Europa League. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, Udinese came up from the qualifiers! Still, Hoffenheim didn't dare to take Udinese lightly. Serie A is still competitive in this era, so Udinese can be said to be an opponent worthy of Rangnick's attention!

The Europa League matches are played over two legs, except for the final. The first leg is Hoffenheim's home stadium and will be held on September 18, while the Bundesliga schedule is not bad for Hoffenheim, their fourth round is held on the 13th, and the fifth round is on the 21st.

It's also interesting to say that Hoffenheim's opponent in the fifth round is Dortmund! Although Borussia Dortmund changed their manager - Uncle Scum finally took the position, the hatred did not dissipate.

At the beginning, they wanted to fight for the German Cup and fight for a place in the Europa League, but Hoffenheim grabbed it!

I'm afraid the fifth round will be a battle of dragons with revenge gimmicks!

……

Not to mention what happened a month later, the second round of the Bundesliga has been ignited, Hoffenheim is at home, facing the attacking Borussia Mönchengladbach!

The three promoted horses in the Bundesliga this season are Hoffenheim, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Cologne, this time the two promoted horses collided together, is Hoffenheim, who is still very strong this season, able to stand in the end, or is the old powerhouse Borussia Mönchengladbach better?

This question was a verbal battle in the media before the game.

There is a media outlet that has made an analysis of the transfer work.

Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach are dwarfed by the subprime mortgage crisis, and their managers have little transfer money at their disposal.

Even compared to the total amount, Hoffenheim is even better!

But Borussia Mönchengladbach has a bigger heritage, not only buying players from clubs such as Freiburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Heerenveen in the Eredivisie and Israel's Bida Jerusalem, but also recalling players from Sweden and Turkey who were previously loaned out.

In terms of the team's staffing, Borussia Mönchengladbach is more complete and richer!

Therefore, this media believes that after entering the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach will be stronger, and with their rich experience in the Bundesliga, it will not be difficult to beat Hoffenheim!

Of course, the speculation of the media generally does not make much sense, and it is still necessary to use the competition to prove everything!

……

Hoffenheim will not be able to continue playing at the Dietmar Hope Stadium, after all, the stadium is too small and the Bundesliga has a lot of requirements for the stadium.

After negotiations, the home stadium of the Hoffenheim Bundesliga temporarily borrowed the Carl Benz Stadium in the big city next door, which can accommodate more than 26,000 people, and everyone will move there after the new stadium is completed!

Although they had travelled to another city to host their home matches, enthusiastic Hoffenheim fans rushed over to support the team's first home game in the Bundesliga.

Combined with the fans in Mannheim, the Carl Benz Stadium was almost full before the start of the game!

This gave Hope, who was sitting in the box watching the game, a lot of confidence, and he said to Shendelmeize: "It seems that if our stadium is built, we won't have to worry about tickets not being sold!" ”

"Or boss, you have a long-term vision!" Shendelmaize flattered.

Hoffenheim's starting line-up was exactly the same as the previous game, and Rangnick didn't change line-ups and formations as often as last season. He's thinking about honing a really strong main team and playing the 4-4-2 they are most familiar with, rather than swapping for opponents who are not as good as the Bundesliga!

Borussia Mönchengladbach played a 4-2-3-1 formation, which was also mainstream, with a balance of attack and defence.

But once the game started, the direction of the situation made people wonder!

Borussia Mönchengladbach opened the game for more than ten minutes, but this ferocity, not only did not cause a goal, but was exhausted, in the later games, although they also attacked, but can no longer show the demeanor of this old strong team!

Defensively, Beta made a big contribution.

Rangnick has asked Beta to sacrifice a lot of offensive opportunities this season and instead focus on defense - no way, Hoffenheim's summer transfer didn't bring more defensive giants other than "Little White Eyebrow" Baker!

Beta's teammates are basically the main players when they played in the Bundesliga last season!

Playing the Bundesliga with the Bundesliga's defensive line, there will definitely be a lot of loopholes and problems! So Rangnick can only hope for Beta.

Beta had no choice but to prepare a large number of defensive cards - a supplementary defensive card with early warning skills like Charlia is a must, and Road Fighter and Reinhardt, a tackle and ball breaking card, and a blocking shot angle and card position card, must also be equipped with one of them!

As a result, Beta is left with only one offensive card and one Angel or Tobion!

Under such a beta organization defense, Borussia Mönchengladbach's frontcourt was at a loss, and the attack didn't know where to start!

Even the newcomer Kalim Matmoor has a strong ability to break through on the wing, but under the joint block of Beta and Baker, Mattmoor felt uncomfortable when he entered the penalty area! Can't get rid of the defense of these two Hoffenheim players at all!

Even if he could break through Baker, Beta would be able to cut off the ball before he could kick it!

He could only wait for an opportunity to shoot from outside the box, but neither the Hoffenheim defence nor the goalkeeper were vegetarians, and Borussia Mönchengladbach fell into a dead end with a long-range shot!

Of course, Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense was not bad, and Hoffenheim didn't find a chance to score in the first thirty minutes!

But Ibisevic's form is really too hot!

In the 31st minute, he suddenly opened an empty space in the Borussia Mönchengladbach penalty area, and then received a pass from Eduardo and pushed it to score!

1:0, this score remained until the end of the game.

Although Ibisevic still wants to continue to look for opportunities, it is a pity that Borussia Mönchengladbach does know Hoffenheim very well, and the defense behind them is leaky, and they are even staring at Ibisevic and not giving him space to shoot.

But Borussia Mönchengladbach's attack couldn't play either, and Beta and his teammates also restrained their old rival Borussia Mönchengladbach to the core.
