Chapter 90: Only Ten Minutes (1)

Coming to this country course again, Li Huan was full of emotion, the last time he came, he was still the enemy of this stadium, and now he has become a member of the stadium, from the initial desire to join this team to Germany, to join Karlsruhe by mistake, and then to the United States injured, and then transferred here, as if everything has returned to the original point, maybe he originally belonged to this place, Karlsruhe is just a sweet and painful dream.

After the injury, Li Huan was a lot more restrained than before, he didn't do too many fancy actions when he performed for the fans, just a few kicks of the ball, but the quality of the fans in Germany is very high, Li Huan inadvertently stopped and received the ball to show the control of the ball as he wanted, which made the fans applaud, but just the ball obviously could not satisfy the fans' desires, Li Huan just finished the ball, the fans shouted: "We want to see Xiao Li flying knife!" "Xiao Li Flying Knife!"

Dietma. Hope Stadium can only accommodate 5,000 people, and the shouts of 2,000 fans are enough to make the air in the stadium hot, and the fans are very close to the stadium, and the sound almost shakes Li Huan's eardrums. Li Huan hasn't figured out how to answer yet, press officer Marcus has long been ready for an interactive program with fans, let the lucky fans come down as goalkeepers, and Li Huan will perform his free kick stunt, facing the fan goalkeeper Li Huan's free kick Of course, he will not miss, and the hit rate of all ten free throws makes the fans excited, Dietma. The atmosphere at Hope Field became even more lively.

In the afternoon, Bex gave Li Huan a follow-up test of Ioto Toron K1 and 2 to test the stress level of his quadriceps muscles in his left and right legs. Li Huan's quadriceps strength in the injured leg has increased to 102% of that of the other side, and the ratio of the strength of the injured knee joint and the contralateral knee has reached 0.95, completely returning to normal.

This result surprised Bakers, he didn't know that this was Li Huan's body with a recovery power that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and thought that it was Steadman's medical skills. Bex told Rangnick that Li Huan was already available for the team's game, but it was best to come on as a substitute first to get used to the rhythm of the game, and then gradually increase the time of the game. Hoffenheim's psychiatrist Herman suggested that it is best to let Li Huan play in the inconsequential game time, because after the injury, the players have certain psychological obstacles, and they are worried that they will be injured again, so it is best to let Li Huan play in an inconsequential time, and when Li Huan gradually overcomes the tension and fear of the game, it is most appropriate to appear again at that time.

Although Rangnick hopes that Li Huan's comeback can help the team as soon as possible, he is a very rational coach and has his own long-term plan for the development of the team, otherwise he would not have run from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga to coach, and he has no pressure on performance. So Rangnick accepted Herman and Bakers' suggestion to let Lee play a dozen substitutes at an inconsequential time first.

On the third day of Li Huan's arrival at Hoffenheim, Rangnick and two team doctors found Li Huan to talk about his appearance in the following games.

Li Huan's residence is in the village of Hoffenheim, not far from the small hotel, in fact, the whole village is not big, smoking a cigarette and knocking a handful of melon seeds can walk through the whole village. Hope and Rangnick are very careful, when they let Li Huan's belongings in Karlsruhe, they paid attention to the layout of Li Huan's house, which is still a three-bedroom house, with computers and TVs, and a garage, because it is different from Karlsruhe, and you have to take a car or drive when you think of a nearby city.

Li Huan was a little surprised by the visit of Rangnick and the two team doctors, and he hurriedly let Rangnick into the house and said, "Welcome, welcome." ”

Rangnick looked inside the room and said, "How's it going?" Are you still used to living there? If there is any inconvenience, please report it directly to me, or to Mr. Dimat. ”

Li Huan smiled: "Very good, nothing is missing, thank you and Mr. Hope for being so thoughtful, the layout of the home is almost the same as Karlsruhe." ”

Herman, a psychiatrist, suddenly said: "Actually, I think we should rearrange it, and when I go to a new club, should I have a new beginning?" ”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Herman, don't worry, it's good." ”

After greeting Li Huan, Rangnick said, "We came here today, in addition to seeing how you live, we also want to tell you about your body and the game. ”

The two team doctors immediately said their suggestions for Li Huan's game. Li Huan frowned when he heard this, because he felt very good physically, and his injured leg was even better than before the injury, although it was not good to play the whole game, because of the lack of systematic training, his physical fitness was not up to it, and he had not practiced with the whole team, so he couldn't cooperate, but it was not a big problem to play for thirty or forty minutes. Psychologically, Li Huan has no problem, he has never been afraid of his hands, and he still plays how he should kick when he was injured last time. However, Li Huan thought about it and did not object, after all, they are not familiar with it yet, they just met, and they don't know what their surname is, and the main thing is that Li Huan thinks that even if he is substituted for five minutes and ten minutes, he has the ability to show his strength, and he wants to use his strength to impress the coach and win the position of the main force.

However, what Li Huan didn't expect was that Hoffenheim's next two games were extremely hard, until the ninetieth minute of stoppage time, the score was bitten to death, Rangnick did not dare to let Li Huan play, both games let Li Huan do 90 minutes on the bench, and both games ended in a draw, which not only caused dissatisfaction among the fans, but also caused Li Huan's dissatisfaction, when facing Osbruck in the seventh round, Li Huan still entered the squad, but he still did 70 minutes on the bench, Seeing that Hoffenheim is likely to win seven games this season, and Rangnick has no intention of replacing Li Huan, it is the 20-year-old Hesse who warms up. Li Huan finally couldn't help it, he walked up to Rangnick with a serious face, and said, "Coach Rangnick, I think I have the physical strength to play for ten minutes." ”

Rangnick glanced at Li Huan in surprise, he didn't expect that Li Huan, who had been silent in training and on the bench, would suddenly come over and ask to play. In fact, he also very much wanted Li Huan to play, but the first two games were drawn in the second half, and the fight was very intense, he did not dare to let Li Huan play out of his protection of Li Huan, because after Li Huan played, if he won, naturally Li Huan's confidence will increase greatly, and the fans will be happy, but if the team loses or the draw remains unchanged, the fans and the media will naturally complain, accusing Li Huan of spending 9 million euros on the club and holding the highest annual salary in the team, but it will not play a role, and the pressure on Li Huan will only be greater. Two of the three results were not favorable to Li Huan, so Rangnick did not let Li Huan play. What I didn't expect was that today was actually a draw again, which made Rangnick vomit blood in frustration.

Rangnick looked at Li Huan and said gently: "I know you are very anxious, I am also very anxious, even the Bundesliga team can't afford to put 9 million substitutes, but the current situation is not conducive to your play, three results, only victory is good for you, and peace and loss are very bad for your future games." ”

Li Huan didn't show that he was very anxious, he was anxious at the moment and wouldn't let Rangnick give him a chance, Li Huan squatted beside Rangnick, picked up the tactical board, and said calmly: "Coach, look, our team's problem is in defense, our offense is very sharp, I watched all the games in our first six games, we all scored, but we didn't achieve a victory, the main thing is that our offensive staff can't come back to defense, and the opponent can always seize the flaw to break through our goal." I'm fast and I'm able to help the team on both the right side and in defence. In addition, although the draw and defeat are not good for me after I played, not being able to play all the time will also make the fans unhappy with me, and I can't be a coward who doesn't dare to try and fear the pressure. ”

Speaking of this, Li Huan stood up and pointed to the nearly 3,000 fans on the field, and said, "Coach Rangnick, listen to their voices, everyone is waiting to watch me play, I can't let them wait for 90 minutes in vain." ”

The fans in the stands were shouting, "Li Huan! Play! "Get on the field! Li Huan! "We want to see Xiao Li's flying knife!" "Throwing knives can't be hidden in scabbards!" "Did we spend nine million to make the bench more beautiful?" There are all kinds of theories, and the fans are waiting a little impatiently.

Of course, Rangnick will not be unable to hear it, since Li Huan came to Hoffenheim, there has been no shortage of this sound in the stands, it can be said that Rangnick is under a lot of pressure in every game, Rangnick; After thinking about it for a while, he immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, Li Huan, you warm up and prepare!" In the past two weeks, you and the players have also got to know each other a little bit and can play some cooperation, although it is still a little early, but it can only be like this, the fans can't wait. If you don't have a tacit understanding of the frontcourt, you try to cross as much as possible, let your teammates grab points, and shoot from a distance. Take care to protect yourself. Rest assured, we'll catch up later. ”

Rangnick's words made Li Huan's depressed mood much better, he stood up with a pout, and said, "Coach Rangnick, don't worry, my body is very good, I feel that I can help the team win." ”

Rangnick smiled, "I'll treat you to coffee if you win." ”

"Li Huan, Li Huan!" In the stands, they all became excited when they saw Li Huan start to prepare for activities outside the field, and the stadium was like a pot, and it caused such a big sensation before he appeared, and Li Huan was just one person in the German Second Division.
