Fritz. Abel went to the corner newsstand to buy a copy of the latest Monday edition of Kicker, a thick magazine that cost him a full two euros, and of course he could buy a little five euros for the Thursday edition of Kicker, but he couldn't wait to see the news about Hoffenheim's win. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a Hoffenheim fan, from the end of the game, it was anticipation of what the media would say about the game and the team.

He still remembers that just before the season, in the "German Football League Special Bulletin 2008/2009" published by "Kicker", the most authoritative media explained that Hoffenheim was very rich in other aspects, and that it was completely different from Bayern Munich, Schalke 04, Wolfsburg and other teams.

At the time, as a Hoffenheim fan, he was very unhappy with the snobbish approach of "Kicker". But the most authoritative sports media in Germany is "Kicker", and if he doesn't watch it, he will lose one of the most important ways to get information.

From the first round of the league, the attitude of "Kicker" towards Hoffenheim has changed dramatically, and they have begun to pay attention to Hoffenheim frequently. Apparently, the professional editors at Kicker Magazine also realized that they might be missing out on a promising team.

With two wins in a row, he wanted to see what "Kicker" was going to say about Hoffenheim's performance, and how professional editors, journalists and critics touted his favorite team. As a fan, he was able to derive a sense of satisfaction from these articles.

But he wouldn't be on the road looking, he would go home, close the bedroom door, not allow his two naughty sisters to disturb him, and quietly open the beautifully made magazine. Get that kind of satisfaction like taking drugs.

On the way back, he ran into Daniel and his gang. Daniel's full name is Daniel. Adler, the head of that group of Bayern Munich fans, a fat man. A year older than him, he has graduated from school, and he heard that he got an apprenticeship in a freight warehouse and learned to drive a forklift, and when he was in school, he liked to bully Abel who was weaker than him. Now that he's graduated, Abel hasn't shaken off the shadow—who made them live close to each other? From childhood to adulthood, Abel grew up in this way under Daniel's bullying. It has even become a part of his life.

If he had read the manga "Doraemon" by Japanese manga artist F. Fujiko Fujio, he would definitely resonate with the protagonist Nobi's recovery, and felt that Fat Tiger was simply Daniel's Japanese version.

"Little Abel, you must be happy, aren't you?" Daniel pointed to Abel. You can tell from his expression that he is in a bad mood.

How could Abel not know what Daniel was thinking? With what he's known about Daniel for more than a decade, Daniel is a person who doesn't hide his emotions well, and if he's angry, he'll let you know he's angry, and if he's happy, he'll shout for the whole street to hear.

What's more, he knows why Daniel is angry - Daniel's favorite Bayern Munich lost. To make matters worse, Hoffenheim, whom he liked, had won two in a row, just over a month earlier, Daniel and his men had mocked Hoffenheim to his face. As a result, the team that has been ridiculed by itself is now at the top of the table, which is really infuriating...... "Uh, no...... I didn't ...... I'm not ......" Abel will have a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart when he sees Daniel, and he can't say it, the two tremble, and he wants to turn around and run away immediately, but he can't outrun Daniel, although Daniel is a fat man, he is indeed a fat man who moves quickly, and what about himself? High myopia plus complete absence of motor cells...... He hugged the magazine he had just bought tightly in his arms, for fear that the other party would snatch his magazine in anger and tear it up.

"Don't try to lie to me, little Abel. I know that little village you like wins! Daniel waited for Abel to say.

"You must be laughing at me, aren't you? Because I laughed at you before! You think you're finally getting revenge now, don't you? ”

"No...... I didn't, I didn't laugh at you......" Abel craned his neck and whispered to himself.

Daniel pointed at Abel with his hand and said, "But don't be too happy, your team is a promoted horse!" What's wrong with being rich? If you have money, you can still downgrade! Football is not something you can play with money! Wait a season later...... No, maybe you can't wait a season, or it won't be long before your team loses, and it's in a row! We'll see, little Abel! ”

With that, Daniel left with a group of his men.

It wasn't until Daniel and the others completely disappeared into the corner that Abel breathed a sigh of relief.

His own magazine was not robbed, he was just scolded, which was nothing to him at all.

He looked at the cover of the magazine, wearing the blue Hoffenheim jersey, celebrating the goal, and laughed.

Although I was scolded, my favorite team won the game, and that was better than anything else.

Next to Ibisevic's photograph is the headline of the magazine's key article: "Hoffenheim, a fairytale club? ”

Winning two games in a row has made Hoffenheim famous, not only in Germany, but also in China.

It's just that many Chinese fans have mixed feelings about the rise of Hoffenheim.

The reasons are all from Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian's switch to Hoffenheim caused a split among the fans who originally supported him. This split is unremarkable, but it is everywhere.

Those fans who continue to support Chu Zhongtian support him unconditionally, whether they choose Hoffenheim or go to a giant, as long as Chu Zhongtian performs well, their support will remain unchanged. They also support Hoffenheim and hope that Chu Zhongtian can have the same excellent performance as Hoffenheim.

Others, with mixed feelings, want Hoffenheim to be relegated. Because only in this way can their favorite Chuzhong genius get out of the sea of misery - after the team is relegated, the player can transfer freely. At that point he will be able to go to a team they want, such as AC Milan, such as Inter Milan, such as Bayern Munich, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Juventus, Liverpool, Arsenal, Roma, Fiorentina...... In short, I can't stay in Hoffenheim anymore.

Online, such disagreements can easily lead to arguments.

After Kang Jianbo sold the website again, he did not leave "We all love Lin Danda", but continued to manage it part-time, and persistently published various reports, articles and news about Hoffenheim on the forum. The latest post was a news post about Hoffenheim's 1-0 home win over Borussia Mönchengladbach to lead the Bundesliga with two straight wins.

There will be messages and comments from enthusiastic netizens under each news post.

This time, a person replied with a post below: "There are a lot of weak teams that occupy the first place in the rankings, and a bunch of weak teams are tied for the first place...... I'm betting that this team will only be able to 'go here' in the Bundesliga this year, and that there will be no future for next season. "The finger is pointed at Hoffenheim.

Kang Jianbo has seen a lot of posts like this during this time, and they are all messages from fans who want Hoffenheim to be relegated. This is the so-called "hate because of love", because they like Chu Zhongtian too much, and when they find out that Chu Zhongtian is not moving according to the route they envisioned and transfers to a team that is not in their plan, they will turn support into opposition. Hoffenheim's defeat is obviously able to prove the failure of Chu Zhongtian's choice, and it can also prove that only their opinion is correct. With this mentality, they all hope that Hoffenheim will be unlucky, and the sooner they are relegated, the better, and if possible, it is better to be relegated after half a season.

When I saw such posts before, Kang Jianbo directly used administrator privileges to delete and seal IDs and IPs. But this time, he had a sudden whim.

He thought that not long after Chu Zhongtian joined Metz, some fans ran to the forum to make trouble, claiming that Chu Zhongtian would definitely become a shooting star. After he sealed the ID, he put the post at the top of the whole forum and hung the corpse for public display.

And now that post is still there...... He decided to put this post at the top of the whole forum, so that everyone can whip the corpse at any time.

When Chu Zhongtian went to Metz, there was such a whip sticker that witnessed him grow from a nobody to the best professional player in China. Now in Hoffenheim, there must also be such a whip sticker to witness Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian step towards glory together.

Just like a ritual, before the army goes on an expedition, it is always necessary to slaughter a cow, a pig, or a sheep, and swear to sacrifice the sword. Before Chu Zhongtian started his new journey, he also needed to have something to sacrifice the knife. This kind of unlucky ghost is the most suitable.

Hoffenheim have won two games in a row and are now in top of the Bundesliga standings, something that most Hoffenheim players did not expect before. Although they feel that their strength is not weak, relegation should not be a problem, and in another season or two, they even have the strength to attack European qualification. But how dare you think of such a good thing as being the first in the league?

Now it all seemed like a dream that was too wonderful to be real.

For a whole week, the Hoffenheim players walked as if they hadn't stepped on the ground, they were floating.

Only a few people remained awake, Chu Zhongtian, Ibisevic and Baker were among them. They are all players with experience in the top league, especially Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic, who have played in Metz for four seasons and two and a half seasons respectively, and have seen the troughs, and Metz was not without excellent results in the top three in the league, but what does that mean? The results of one or two rounds of the league cannot be used as a reference at all. The league is a very long marathon, you do well during this period and the points go up. After a while, the performance is not good, and it is normal for the ranking to drop.

In addition, the League Cup has been won, and they really didn't pay attention to the first two rounds of the Bundesliga.

It's just that such sober people are a minority after all, and most of the players lack such experience, are young, and are carried away by the victory for a while.

In such a situation, Hoffenheim took on Bayer Leverkusen away in the third round of the league. Rangnick continued to use the same starting eleven that beat Borussia Mönchengladbach. It was a contest between the two youngest teams in the Bundesliga, with the average age of Bayer Leverkusen's starting line-up being 23.2 years old, while Hoffenheim was only 22.5 years old.

Everyone is very young, so they are all full of energy. In this game, the two sides let go of each other and gave the fans a very good game. But for Hoffenheim, it was a bitter one. Because they finally lost, and they lost badly.

As soon as the game began, Bayer Leverkusen launched an onslaught.

In the eighth minute, Bannetta crossed a free kick from the left, and the 1.87-meter-tall Tunisian central defender Hagui (karim_haggui) beat Salihovic's header into the far corner, 1-0.

Conceding a goal too early left Hoffenheim in disarray and the players were a little lost on the pitch. Although Chu Zhongtian wanted to bring the players back to their senses and focus on the game, after all, he had not yet become the real leader of this team, so what he could do was very limited.

Bayer Leverkusen took the opportunity to attack Hoffenheim's defence aggressively and keep the pressure on.

Eleventh minute, Renato. Augusto (renato_augusto) plugs through and Helmers (patrick_helmes) wins the ball and breaks through Perl. Nelsson, who finally faced goalkeeper Ozcan on the right side of the penalty area, fired just wide of the left post.

In the 17th minute, Bannetta (tranquillo_barta) took a corner kick from the right side, and Friedrich (manuel_friedrich) scored with a header from 10 meters out, 2-0.

Conceded two goals in a row, which woke Hoffenheim from a dream. Chu Zhongtian finally regained control. Only four minutes after the opponent scored, Chu Zhongtian was not in the middle, but suddenly pulled to the left side, and Salihovic came to a change, he was about to break through, but he stopped suddenly, buckled the football back with his left foot, and then crossed with his right foot, his teammate Ibisevic in Metz jumped high, and shook his head in front of the goal, 1:2!

Hoffenheim pulled a goal back, Ibisevic scored his fourth goal of his debut season in the Bundesliga, and Chu Zhongtian also provided his second assist since joining Hoffenheim.

Although Hoffenheim pulled a goal back. However, they did not recover their disadvantage on the field, and in the face of Leverkusen's fierce attacks one after another, they could only parry, and there was no way to fight back.

In the 27th minute, Renato sent the ball to the goal from the right side of the penalty area, and the receiving striker stefan_kie Βling was half a step slow and did not hit the ball into the empty goal.

In the 32nd minute, Renato had another long-range shot from 20 meters out, which was blocked by Ozcan.

In the 36th minute, Barnetta took a corner kick, Hoffenheim players cleared not far away, Jakappa (constant_djakpa) hit the goal at the front of the penalty area, Kiessling intercepted the ball in the small penalty area, and then he was let go of two Hoffenheim players, suddenly half-turned and shot backwards, goalkeeper Ozcan couldn't react, and could only watch the football enter the goal, 3:1!

In less than 40 minutes, the score was already 3:1, and the two sides scored a total of four goals, which is certainly a good game for the crowd. However, for Hoffenheim's players and fans, they are still a little at a loss - why did they face Bayer Leverkusen's onslaught after two consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, but they were completely led by the opponent's nose?

When Kisling scored the ball with a beautiful barb action, Chu Zhongtian shook his head helplessly. The whole team is out of shape, even if he and Ibisevic try hard...... Football is, after all, a holistic sport.

Everyone was carried away by the victory, and Leverkusen didn't pay attention to it at all. As a result, they all forgot that Bayer Leverkusen and the Ivbus and Borussia Mönchengladbach teams they had met before were not at all a level of team. If you underestimate such an opponent, you will have to pay the price.

At half-time, Rangnick was very harsh in his criticism of the team's performance, believing that everyone was sleepwalking. He demanded that the team must step up their attack in the second half.

So after the start of the second half, Hoffenheim stepped up their attack. In the fiftieth minute, Salihovic shot vigorously from the edge of the penalty area, Leverkusen's goalkeeper Fernandez (benedikt_fernandez) did not dare to hold it directly, and punched the ball out, and Chu Zhongtian, who followed closely, also came with a volley, but his shot flew directly into the stands.

Two minutes later, Hoffenheim made a comeback, this time with Demba. Ba received a cross from Salihovic in the box and headed it in the back of the net, which was held tightly by Fernandez.

Hoffenheim's successive attacks finally paid off. In the 58th minute, Chu Zhongtian instigated an offensive, and after getting the ball in the midfield, he did not give Eduardo a transition, nor did he give Salihovic, but chose a sudden direct pass. The ball penetrated Bayer Leverkusen's midfield and back line and eventually fell to Ibisevic's feet. Just as Ibyševich turned to shoot, he was knocked down in the box by Bayer Leverkusen defender Jakpa, and the referee awarded a penalty and a yellow card.

The penalty was taken by Salihovic, who slotted the ball into the Leverkusen goal to make it 2-3.

Next, Bayer Leverkusen manager Labadia (bruno_labbadia) replaced Vidal (arturo_vidal) with defensive midfielder Schwegler (pirmin_schwegler) to strengthen the defence. Rangnick replaced the in-form Weiss with Tebel and continued to strengthen the attack.

With just one goal separating the two sides, Hoffenheim saw hope of an equaliser or even a win, and they pressed heavily on the attack, while Bayer Leverkusen took advantage of that to start a counter-attack.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Bayer Leverkusen seized Hoffenheim's heavy pressure, eager to score and equalize, and scored twice in four minutes to finally set the score at 5:2.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the 22,500-seat Bayer Arena erupted in cheers and applause, and the Leverkusen fans were delighted to see the recently talked about team fall at their feet.

No matter how powerful the promotion horse is, he has to bow down in front of us at Leverkusen!

Bayer Leverkusen, a veteran powerhouse playing at home, gave the new Bundesliga team a blow in the face.

And Bayer Leverkusen, who was eliminated in the League Cup by Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic's Metz, also used this special way to complete the revenge after two years.

Looking at the pained expressions of the players because of the loss, Rangnick sighed inwardly.

The team is still too young...... Lack of experience, such failures are inevitable. However, it is better to lose at the beginning of the season than at the end of the season.

Hopefully the loss will teach them something.

He turned and walked down the aisle, where the media were waiting in the mixed area to interview him. He knew what the media would ask, and there were a lot of people who were waiting to see his team's jokes, and now that they saw it, how could they let him go?
