Chapter 96: Moving Forward (1)

If beating Osbrose at home was just a highlight of Hoffenheim's attacking theme, then beating Cologne away was the prelude. In the best team of the Bundesliga after the game by "Kicker", Hoffenheim occupied three seats, the striker Olhoff, the midfielder Sarihovic and the defender Li Huan were all selected with high scores, and the best coach was also given to Hoffenheim, and "Kicker" gave the three people this evaluation.

Olhoff: Diligence and relentless running gave him plenty of opportunities, and the little-known striker grabbed two of them and contributed to the team's big victory.

Sarihovic: Despite missing out on a free-kick and a penalty, the midfield talent is scoring more goals, his attacking power is being unearthed, and importantly, he has another talent on his side.

Li Huan: He is not just a defender, his influence radiates from the side to the whole field, although he has only scored one goal, but five of his goals are directly or indirectly related to him

Bild also had to carve out a plot for the country team to report on what they did in Cologne, "Hoffenheim beat Cologne 6-0 away, yes, it was at the Rheinenergy Arena, not Rheinneckar, it was the worst defeat in Cologne's 57-year history, the last time they were scored six goals here was 15 years ago, and the last time they scored a goal, today they were shaved bald. Sarihovic's hat-trick, Orhoff's brace, watching these nobodies spread wild on their own territory, will Prince Cologne on the Munich bench feel heartache.

But it can't be said that Hoffenheim's camp is all nobodies, at least they still have Li Huan, last season the Chinese killed the German second group of heroes, this season, he announced his return with two 100-minute three goals. Now whoever still looks at Li Huan from the perspective of a traditional defender, he is a fool, he is a special one like Mourinho. Judging from the performance in this short period of time, Li Huan can be called the most goal-scoring defender in history, neither opponents nor injuries can stop him from playing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this player with great potential will open up an era of his own. “

Outsiders praise their teams like this, not to mention Hoffenheim's mouthpiece "Rheinneckar", which was covered by the coverage of the game for several days after the game, Li Huan and Sarihovic became heroes for the fans, and groups of fans came to Hoffenheim from Sinsheim and as far away as China, just to see Li Huan's training, and in hundreds or even thousands of rural teams, Hoffenheim gradually emerged from the horizontal line and was known.

At this time, the fans of the other three teams in Baden-Württemberg suddenly discovered that there was such a team from the countryside in Baden, Karlsruhe has achieved very well this season, and is currently at the top of the Bundesliga, the team used the funds from the sale of Li Huan to pay off the bank debt and then loaned out 10 million, the team also found a company sponsorship in Russia, bought a few very practical players in the summer transfer, under the leadership of Federico, Ferres, Capalani and others, the team gradually got rid of the shadow of losing Li Huan. But "City Daily" couldn't help but say sourly when he saw Li Huan's amazing performance after his comeback: "In business, no one can compete with Dietma." Hope, in comparison, bought Li Huan for nine million, and also gave Karlsruhe a favor by the way, but now Li Huan is worth at least 20 million (a bit exaggerated), and Mr. Hope has more than tripled his investment after waiting for half a year. Although Li Huan only scored one penalty in this game (with Cologne), his attack power did not decrease a little, and he was directly related to five of them, including creating a penalty himself. With the backing of a super-rich man like Hope, Hoffenheim's rise is a matter of time, but Li Huan's joining has advanced this process. Li Huan's arrival in Karlsruhe has sparked Federico's potential, and now with Li Huan's help, Sarichovic is gradually becoming more and more dazzling, and perhaps before long, another Federico will appear in Hoffenheim. ”

The Süddeutsche Zeitung was also surprised by Hoffenheim's performance, with the reporter commenting: "The colorblind coach led a group of country boys to make trouble in the Ruhr area, and Cologne was swept by Hoffenheim by six goals without the protection of the prince, writing another shameful stroke in the history of 57 years, and from now on, the derby in Baden has another highlight." ”

In addition to the German media, in China, Li Huan's comeback has once again become a hot topic, it turns out that many fans and reporters think that after such a serious injury, it is difficult for Li Huan to return to the hot form of last season, and in the summer Munich 1860 Shao Jia transferred to the Bundesliga promotion Ma Ketbus, which made domestic fans and media put more energy on Shao Jia, and even the female reporter Jia Lei, who followed and reported Li Huan, went to Cartbus to follow and report Shao Jia.

But it only took 100 minutes for Li Huan to reverse the trend of the domestic media in one fell swoop, and many reporters sensitively realized that this guy who was jealous last season may have to break out strongly this season, and gradually began to increase the coverage of Li Huan and Hoffenheim, and the court's CCAV and local stations such as Shanghai and Guangdong also began to consider broadcasting the next round of the rural team.

Two wins in a row have lifted Hoffenheim four places and they are now in 10th place, but the ambitious Rangnick and Hope are not satisfied with this, and not only did they not take a holiday, but they began preparing for their next game against Duisburg the next day.

Duisburg, nicknamed the Zebras, are now second in the Bundesliga, they were relegated from the Bundesliga last season and are a team in the Ruhr industrial region, and under new coach Boomer, Duisburg is on the road to return. Against such a high-spirited and strong team, Hoffenheim are not at all sure of winning, and for them, fighting for their opponents is the only way. Two consecutive wins have given the players the courage to fight their opponents.

There are two core players in Duisburg, one is the midfielder Voss who transferred from Leverkusen, and the attacker who can attack and defend is the main force when Leverkusen was the main player, but he did not get along with the head coach and transferred to a promotion horse like Duisburg, but he did not expect Duisburg to be relegated in only one season. However, he did not choose to leave, but chose to fight with the team, and his organization is the guarantee of whether Duisburg's attack and defense are orderly.

Before the game, the Rheinneckar newspaper believed that the key to the victory or defeat of the two teams was the battle between Voss and Saarihovic, two midfielders who are good at organizing, and whoever can have the upper hand will be the final winner.

Another core of Duisburg is Cameroonian striker Idrissu, who was once hailed as "the most popular player among women in the Bundesliga" is not only an expert in farce, of course, he is indeed a good actor of farce and sketches, and there are many scandals and scandals about them off the field, such as he was fined for speeding for a month, he was once prosecuted for assaulting his wife, and he once asked for a DNA test for alleging that the child he gave birth to was not his species. But although this living treasure is not a prolific striker, but he can help his teammates score more goals, he is 1.9 meters tall, strong confrontation and good at running, in the opponent's penalty area he is a headache-stirring stick, you can't pay too much attention to him and can't be unguarded, otherwise he will give you a fatal blow nonsensically at any time, which really makes a sane coach like Rangnick very uncomfortable.

However, the reporter of the "Rheinneckar" newspaper believes that Hoffenheim also has its own advantages, that is, they have the same small Li Feidao, although only two comebacks, although Li Huan has led the team to two beautiful big wins, Li Huan, who scored three goals in two games, seems to be more ferocious than in Karlsruhe last season. If Duisburg can't defend against Li Huan, they won't be able to get out of Hoffenheim Village, because in the two games of Li Huan's comeback, Hoffenheim scored 11 goals, which is a terrifying number, which means that once Li Huan can't defend him, he may be slaughtered.

Originally, "Bild" should not pay more attention to this game, there are so many Bundesliga and Champions League matches, a small Bundesliga match really should not arouse their interest, but don't forget that "Bild" is still Germany's "Sunze", they are not as professional as "Kicker", nor as serious as "Mirror", what they are good at is to discover some star romance and interesting things, attract more people to watch, and Duisburg's Idrissu and Hoffenheim's Li Huan just have rich resources in this regard, " When analyzing the comparison of the strength of the two teams, Bild analyzed the charm index and women's popularity of two stars who are very attractive to female fans, and finally came to the conclusion that Li Huan's potential value is far greater than that of the black star, and the powerful "Bild" actually didn't know where to find Li Huan and Stuart and Diane when he was recuperating from an injury in Los Angeles. Kruger's photo jokingly said that Li Huan did not hesitate to turn his face with the club in order to go to the United States to recuperate, mainly to go to Hollywood to meet Kruger, and finally even attributed Kruger's divorce to this popular student in Germany and B. This made Li Huan really cry and laugh, and the reporter's gossip seemed to be regardless of nationality. However, his agent Watts smiled and said that this hype is better, he is worried that Deyi's stage is too small, which is not conducive to the publicity and promotion of Li Huan's commercials, "Bild" is advertising for Li Huan for free, and recently he has received a lot more endorsement requests from advertisers than a month ago.
