Don't think that Rangnick is looking around for a goalkeeper just to force Hildebrand to comply, in fact he does have a plan to find someone to replace Hildebrand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe problem with Hildebrand is not that the level is not good, but that there are frequent injuries. In his first season with the club, he spent most of his time recovering from injuries for half a season, but Haas became the main goalkeeper, which directly led to Haas getting a new contract from the club, because he was found to have performed well in the absence of Hildebrandt due to injury.

In the following season, Hildebrand's injuries decreased and his performances gradually improved. But there are always small injuries and illnesses. As the team's main goalkeeper, it stands to reason that he should play all the leagues, but Hildebrand is not. He has a record of missing five league games, all of which have been due to injury. It's not a serious injury, but it's more annoying to everyone.

It is against this backdrop that Rangnick has always believed that Hildebrand will not be able to complete his contract for the team. If Hoffenheim want to improve their game, goalkeepers are definitely an area that needs to be improved.

So he started watching the players a long time ago.

Just after Hildebrand started to fall out with the club, Rangnick announced that he admired the goalkeeper of the Israeli football team Hapoel Tel Aviv (vincent_enyeama).

The Nigerian international is one of the players that Rangnick is particularly eyeing at the World Cup. Nyema made a name for himself with Argentina, where he made the most of his quick reflexes, agility and mental stability.

However, his shortcomings are also prominent, not enough height and not good jumping, which makes him not have strong control of the high ball. As for his status as an African goalkeeper, it is a problem for the Premier League teams, but not at all for the Bundesliga teams. The Africa Cup of Nations was held in January, and the Premier League was in full swing at that time, and the main goalkeeper went to the Africa Cup of Nations, so there was no objection to it being a disaster for them. However, the Bundesliga has a month-and-a-half-long winter break, and by the time the second half of the Bundesliga resumes the fire, the Africa Cup of Nations has ended.

So buying an African goalkeeper like Nyema, Rangnick doesn't have to worry about being a goalkeeper in January, and there will be no other games in January except for a few warm-up games during the training camp. The main goalkeeper is not a big deal, at most he can't participate in the training camp. But what is the purpose of the camp? Isn't it just to keep the players from resting for too long, not being in shape, and not being in good physical condition? Nyema can play in the Africa Cup of Nations, so there will be no problem with his form and physical condition.

In fact, Rangnick also fell in love with the Slovenian international Handanovic (samir_handanovic) of the Serie A team Udinese, but Handanovic's value is too high, and he has some heartache to buy a goalkeeper for at least 10 million euros. The team still needs to spend money in the future, and it is a little bit to be able to save.

Nyema's value is much lower, and although he played in the Israeli league and was the best player in Israel last season, the transfer fee is not estimated to exceed 5 million euros.

After the World Cup, there are many teams interested in Enyema, but they are all thunderous and rainy, and there is no substantive action other than interest.

At this time, if Hoffenheim makes a move, there shouldn't be too much obstruction...... What about Enyema himself?

While it would be nice to stay in Israel at Hapoel Tel Aviv, the Bundesliga is clearly more appealing than the Israeli league, and Hoffenheim, who can play directly in the Champions League, is also more attractive than Hapoel Tel Aviv, who needs to start from qualifying.

It is believed that Nyema should not resist going to Hoffenheim either.

Since July 20, Hoffenheim has been in contact with the Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv to express its willingness to buy Nyema.

They offered two and a half million euros, which was rejected by Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Hoffenheim rose to three million, and Hapoel Tel Aviv countered seven million.

That's a lot of money for Nyema, but their willingness to make a counteroffer shows that they are willing to sell the team's number one star, which is good news.

Both sides can sit down and talk slowly.

Eventually, after some hard work, Hoffenheim bought Nyema for five million euros, and the 27-year-old Nigerian international will play for Hoffenheim for five seasons starting in the 2010-2011 season.

Nyema's arrival was also a signal from Rangnick to Hildebrand - either stay on the bench or find another job, and of course let you go and you'll have to make enough money...... Hildebrand was definitely not willing to be a substitute goalkeeper at Hoffenheim, and three days later, he reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon. The transfer fee is 6 million euros, at least in the goalkeeper position, one in and one out, Hoffenheim did not lose money.

When Hoffenheim FC announced the transfer of Hildebrand on its official website, it thanked him in very warm words for his contribution to the team, thanked him for his efforts in the past season and a half, and wished him good luck in distant Portugal.

But such warm words could not make people forget the intrigue between Hildebrand and the club during the previous period.

Especially when people look at the news of Chu Zhongtian's successful contract renewal and the news of Hildebrand's gloomy departure, that feeling is even more obvious. The popular fried chicken is proud, and Hildebrand, who once set the record for the longest clean sheet in the Bundesliga, can now only be forced to leave for his second overseas experience.

Chu Zhongtian sent his blessings to the departing Hildebrand on the "We All Love Lin Danda" website, and he and Hildebrand actually have no contradictions, but the media put him and Hildebrand together to discuss this matter, which will make people think that he forced Hildebrand away, and Hildebrand is the loser in the team's struggle for power. In fact, this is not the case, Hildebrand has a very good relationship with him, Tim just misjudged the situation, and felt that since the club was willing to invest at least 20 million euros per season to buy people in order to keep Chu Zhongtian, it should not be too much to ask for a salary increase, right? As the team's main goalkeeper, two-time Bundesliga champion and former German international, it is unreasonable to only get an annual salary of 1.8 million euros a year. Since Chu Zhongtian has money and can't look down on that annual salary, why don't you give me the annual salary you plan to give Chu Zhongtian?

It's a pity that in the hearts of Hoffenheim's higher-ups, his status can't be compared with Chu Zhongtian at all, although the two of them have a good personal relationship...... Hildebrand left Hoffenheim like this, and many fans are still very reluctant to him, but what can be done? There is no one in this team who is really indispensable, except for Chu Zhongtian and head coach Rangnick.

With five million for Hlosek, seven and a half million for Quaresma, eighteen million for Gago and five million for Enyema, Hoffenheim has spent 35.5 million euros so far this season. After promotion to the Bundesliga, this transfer fee ranked third, and the first place was their first season of promotion, which cost 40 million euros just to buy Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic. In the second season, the team spent a total of 40.6 million euros.

The transfer window is not over yet this season, and they still have hope of surpassing the second season.

As for the income from the sale of people, 20 million was sold to Eduardo, 4 million was sold to Vousa, 6 million was bought to Hildebrand, and 30 million were now in the account, which is equivalent to only 5.5 million euros.

These are the main expenses and income.

Some of the other minor overheads are unnoticeable.

For example, Hoffenheim also spent 1.8 million euros to poach last year's German football rookie of the year award winner - Mlapa from Munich 1860 at the same time as bringing in famous players.

The nineteen-year-old is known as the "New Adebayo" and is physically strong. He's an investment in the future, and he may only be able to come off the bench in a few games this season.

For the current first-team squad, Rangnick has not undergone major surgery, he has only made a few changes.

But his adjustment is not over, he also hopes to bring in a right-back, it is too hard to have only Baker on the right, although Baker is very young and hard-working, but injuries will not be taken care of so much, in case Baker is injured, there is no player who can handle the right-back position. In addition, in order to stimulate Baker and make him improve faster, he also needs a high-quality full-back to compete with him, and the team currently competes for almost all positions, only Baker's right-back is not a threat to his main position because of the fact that his other teammates are far from him.

Rangnick felt that in the long run, it would be very detrimental to Baker's development, and that a non-competitive environment would not bring out the potential of the players. In the long run, this is what Baker eventually achieved.

To this end, he decided to bring in a high-level full-back to stimulate Baker.

Although Inter Milan's McCone is the world's No. 1 right-back, it is impossible to buy him, first of all, McCone himself is not willing to come to Hoffenheim, secondly, even if he is willing to come, Hoffenheim cannot afford to pay this money, and finally even if Hoffenheim can get the transfer fee, McCown's high salary will still become the most insurmountable obstacle.

Unlike left-backs, there are a lot of good right-backs in the world at right-back. But not everyone is willing to come to Hoffenheim with Hoffenheim.

After picking a lap, Rangnick set his sights on Srna (darijo_srna), the captain of the Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk team. The famous right-back was once very popular with the European giants and was one of the demons of the famous football game "Football Manager" (FM), and the stats look dazzling. It's just that his performance has declined in recent years, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be. Because of this, it became easier for Hoffenheim to buy him. Although the ability is not as good as before, it fits Rangnick's positioning for this position - he has strength, but he is not top-notch, because he still has to rotate with Baker. It's so good that Baker has to play the bench completely.

Experience is also important, and as a double captain of Shakhtar Donetsk and Croatia, Srna has a lot of experience to help Hoffenheim and Beck.

In addition, Srna is not too old, only 28 years old, and he can still play for the team for a few more years.

After seven seasons at Shakhtar Donetsk, Srna seems to have reached the point of a seven-year itch and wants to leave the team to start a new journey.

The two sides hit it off, and although Shakhtar Donetsk did not want to let go of their captain, the captain himself wanted to leave.

In the end, it was the will of the players that played a key role.

Hoffenheim finally brought the game-famous demon defender to the Rhine-Neckar Stadium from Ukraine for a transfer fee of 8.5 million euros.

Beck realised that his rivalry was underway...... and by the time of July 31, Hoffenheim had completed all of the season's main signings. Rangnick and several of his summer signings held a press conference at their training ground in Austria to introduce the new signings to the media and fans.

Chu Zhongtian, as the captain of the team, accompanied the head coach to attend the press conference. However, some media have found a new meaning for his attendance - his successful contract extension with the team this summer is also a blockbuster signing.

In front of the media, Rangnick introduced all the players who joined the team.

Hlosek is the number one name of the Czech national team, and after Nedved's retirement, he has the title of "Nedved II" and is the hope of Czech football at the moment. However, this is Hlosek's first time playing in Europe's top five leagues, and he has a bit of a low profile in front of reporters. "I'm very happy to be joining Hoffenheim and I want to contribute to the team......

Quaresma, a promising Portuguese star and a star alongside C. Ronaldo, came to Hoffenheim to re-prove himself and find a way to redeem himself. I don't know if his unruly personality has changed after going through so many things. Rangnick bought him as a gamble, as he lacks fame as a star, and his resume at Barcelona and Inter Milan is both a magnet for fans and a ticking time bomb for dressing room conflicts. At least in front of the media, Quaresma showed his experience of wandering, and he coped with the slightly tricky ones. He first praised Hoffenheim's achievements over the past two seasons and then said he would do everything in his power to help the team.

Whether this is true or appearance, no one knows.

After all, he has been to many clubs, started well, and then quickly degenerated, which is not surprising to everyone. Anyway, many people don't have much hope for his transfer to Hoffenheim, some people think that Rangnick has made a failed deal, Quaresma is not worth 7.5 million euros at all, and it will take only half a season, only three months for him to know that the deal has failed. There are also media who can't wait to put the hat of "the biggest parallel commodity in the Bundesliga this season" on Quaresma's head. In short, everyone was waiting to see the jokes of Quaresma himself and Hoffenheim.

Gago, who left the Bernabeu, is looking forward to his future, and although he faces the strongest of his new team-mates, he says he is not afraid of competition. “…… Competition is everywhere, and that's professional football. At Real Madrid, I also faced very strong competition. I don't think there's anything bad about competition. I'm not going to back down. At the same time, he also expressed his admiration to the captain Chu Zhongtian. I've watched him play and he's very, very good and I think he can succeed for a reason......

Rangnick hopes that Chu Zhongtian can influence Gago. At Real Madrid, Gago is more like a blue-collar worker, and Rangnick hopes that Gago can become the real "Redondo II", and he hopes that Chu Zhongtian can teach his offensive insights to the Argentine midfielder, who is two years younger than him.

Judging from Gago's statement, the relationship between the two of them should not be bad. And Chu Zhongtian is no stranger to this practice of "bringing apprentices", he has brought many people in Metz...... The most promising one is Lyon's Pjanic, who led Lyon to a knockout of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last season.

In the face of Gago's on-the-spot overtures, Chu Zhongtian also gave a positive response. "From the first day of training, we all knew that Fernando was very hard-working, and I think that's why he's been successful," he laughs. ”

Nyema is very confident, and the World Cup experience has given him a huge boost in self-confidence, and he doesn't feel any difference from the Israeli league to the Bundesliga. Anyway, his job is the same, which is to guard the door. Rangnick hopes he can echo more in the game and direct the defense. This was to his liking.

Next up is Srner, the seven-season captain of Shakhtar Donetsk, who is now part of Hoffenheim. At the age of twenty-eight, he seems to be very sophisticated and composed. Despite speculation that he would win comfortably against Baker, he praised Baker: "He's young and he's good. 'Srna clearly knows what to do best in a new team.

Finally, Rangnick patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder, smiled at everyone and said, "Finally, I would like to introduce to you our last signing of the season!" ”

Everyone laughed knowingly.

Chu Zhongtian also laughed.

It's a little joke.

Chu Zhongtian said that he was very satisfied with the team's recruitment this summer - of course he was satisfied, and basically brought in reinforcements according to his wishes.

He then reiterated that Hoffenheim are an ambitious team, just like him.

'Our goal this season is to go further in the Champions League. He went beyond the box and spoke out the team's goals for head coach Rangnick, who was not upset and continued to smile and nod his head in agreement.

Then Chu Zhongtian, as the captain of the team, made a request to the new teammates: "Therefore, I hope that the new teammates will work hard with us." ”

Reporters no longer have any sense of surprise at this statement, and now Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian say "we have to go further in the Champions League", which is not abrupt at all. Just look at their performance in the Champions League last season, it's impressive to be able to do so well in the Champions League for the first time.

Who's to say they can't go further this season?
