Chapter 62: No starters

Ingolstadt is a beautiful city in southeastern Germany, located on the banks of the Danube River, of course, it is also in Bavaria, close to Munich. www.biquge.info It's just that since Beta came to Germany, he has never heard of this adjacent team.

After all, it is still too famous, and its original two teams in history have no more conspicuous records. In 2004, its original two local teams from Ingolstadt began their journey due to financial reasons when they combined a team called "Ingolstadt 04".

However, Ingolstadt was promoted from the fourth division last year and showed great ambition and strength! No, it's only the ninth round of the league, and it's in fifth place! This desire to impact the Bundesliga is no worse than Hoffenheim!

Therefore, when they came to the city of Ingolstadt, Beta and his teammates felt a completely different "football atmosphere" compared to Hoffenheim!

"Hillbilly give us the go!"

"You should only stay in the village and play amateur football!"

"Labor and management will come to the door tonight and beat you to death!"

The team's bus was surrounded outside the hotel by a group of red-faced Ingolstadt fans, who waved their arms and slapped the bus in a threatening appearance of overturning the bus.

Beta was dumbfounded, of course, he was not afraid, but in China, it seemed that he had never seen such crazy fans.

"What is this? That is, to scare the little ones! Tebel leaned over, and the Turk pouted disdainfully, "In our hometown, you go to play away games, if you don't encounter harassment from the opposing fans, then it's called abnormal!" ”

Tebel was right, and the riots lasted only a short time, and soon the hotel security guards rescued them.

……

But the fiery atmosphere continued into the night of the match, when more than 6,000 spectators arrived at the ESV Stadium, home stadium in Ingolstadt. Although the stadium has not yet been filled, the red-faced and shirtless German man, the deafening shout, accompanied by the red glow on the horizon in the evening, the atmosphere of this devil's home field has been completely hot!

The commentary on the scene was desperately fanning the flames, and he even used Hoffenheim's starting list as the object of ridicule!

"Brothers, let's see, Hoffenheim have a 442 formation, which is a bit unusual, they didn't use the back five formation from previous rounds."

"It turns out that they have replaced Beta, a Chinese teenager who has been hotly discussed in the newspapers recently!"

"It seems that the head coach of Hoffenheim is also self-aware! The holes in the team's defensive line actually didn't dare to play when facing us Ingolstadt! Was he scared of our head coach, Mr. Price? ”

"But it didn't work! Cowards! We Mr. Price have studied you thoroughly for a long time, whether you send that little guy or not, Ingolstadt must let you see who is the real promotion seed! ”

The commentary on the scene was shouting either true or false, but the fans at the scene were very buying, and kept laughing.

However, no one knew that when looking at Hoffenheim's starting line-up, Ingolstadt's head coach Jürgen Price was not so confident as he said.

"Why don't you use him?" Price almost guessed Hoffenheim's starting list, but Beta was the only one, and Price couldn't have imagined that Rangnick would have the courage to replace him.

When playing the second team in Stuttgart, Beta, who was on the cusp, also started, but Rangnick gave up his persistence today!

But in this way, Price's previous arrangements for Beta are meaningless!

"No matter what, we only have one tactic today, attack! Boys, go up for me and use your edges to tear through the Hoffenheim backline! 'Price patted each player on the shoulder and asked them to take turns walking out of the dressing room from their side.

Price's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought secretly: "Not using that kid may not be good news for us!" In the previous game, he was the main force of your defense, without him, would your backline still be as strong as before? ”

……

At the beginning of the game, Beta did sit on the bench on the sidelines to watch the game, he was a little depressed, and it was only this morning that Rangnick told him that he was not in the starting lineup.

It's a habit to start, and now you can only sit on the sidelines and watch your teammates work the field, which is really uncomfortable.

Still, Beta didn't blame Rangnick.

Rangnick treated him well, and even the other players didn't get the same treatment as Beta - the manager came to him and explained to him in person why he didn't make the squad!

What's more, Beta can't blame Rangnick. Who made his feet work bad? In the intra-team game, in the face of the pressure of his teammates such as Copado and Royler, he had to lose the ball, and when it came to the real game, when he encountered the opponent's main force, I am afraid that Beta would further become a big black hole in the team's backline.

Today's opponent of Hoffenheim is Ingolstadt, who is in hot form!

And Ingolstadt's starting double striker today is also Stephen Wolfass and Mark Romer, who took turns scoring twice in the last round. In this crucial game, beta mistakes cannot be tolerated!

However, Rangnick still didn't feel relaxed when he replaced Beta in the starting line-up, and he stood on the sidelines with his waist crossed, watching the offensive and defensive sides on the field.

"I don't know why! I always feel a little uneasy! Rangnick thought as he looked at his backline.

At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim unexpectedly played a few sharp attacks at Ingolstadt's home stadium!

Copado continued his red-hot form of the season, whether dribbling past the ball or following Marić in the shadows before swooping into the Ingolstadt penalty area, where he had two shots in the first five minutes amid deafening boos from the audience.

Despite all the misses, Copado still made Price break out in a cold sweat.

"Keep an eye on him, Wen Zelu! You go and follow him, don't miss anyone! Price shouted and commanded.

Under his command, Ingolstadt's backline only settled after an initial five minutes of confusion.

"It's a pity!" Rangnick let out a wry sigh when he saw that there was no longer a chance to take advantage of the chaos.

If you can take the lead in the first 10 minutes, the rest of the game will be much better! However, Rangnick looked up at the time, and he walked to the sideline and pressed his hands down.

"Steady first!" Rangnick motioned to Tebel and told his midfield team-mates, who were pressing a little forward, to drop back and not take too many risks.

However, even Rangnick did not expect that Ingolstadt's counterattack would come so quickly!

In the 14th minute, Hoffenheim's offensive had just slowed down, and the midfielders were slowly retreating, and they had not yet formed a defensive echo with each other. Ingolstadt's right-back Ralph Keider suddenly shook off Setz's entanglement and quickly dribbled the ball from the wing!

Trohm, who started the game, rushed over to intercept. However, I don't know if it's been too long since he started the game, and Trom hasn't gotten into the groove yet. He misjudged as he shifted sideways, and Kedel slammed to the left, brushing past his right.

Kedel is already on the wing!

At the same time, Hoffenheim's penalty area was also in chaos, with Ingolstadt's two strikers already interspersed inside, running back and forth, pulling Hoffenheim's defence.

"Keep an eye on people!" Rangnick was so anxious that he shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

However, the attack was a blitzkrieg and the Hoffenheim backline had no time to communicate, they could only defend with their own awareness.

Kedel didn't wait for the refills to come in Bindernagel, he went straight to the foot and the ball rolled quickly on the grass before being trampled under Romer's feet.

Yankel hurriedly followed Romer, blocking his shot angle while shouting hastily: "Look at the other!" ”

But just as he was shouting and his spirit was a little distracted, Romer suddenly stepped out.

"Shoot!" The commentary at the scene shouted.

But it's not a shot!

Yankel looked back, and the ball rolled behind him, but not towards the goal! At the same time, a figure appeared in his field of vision.

Woolfarth!

He shook off Gottrich, who was watching him, and appeared on the line of his teammate's second pass.

Goalkeeper Daniel had previously hesitated, he didn't attack, which gave Woolfars room to shoot! And again, at such a close distance, Daniel simply did not have a chance to react.

“Goooooooooal!”
