Chapter 063: Am I Arrogant?

"The wolf is coming!" This was the first reaction of all the media present, originally they thought that this might be a game that would affect some trends in the Bundesliga, but they definitely did not expect that they would dig up the ambitious 'careerists' Xiao Qing and Hoffenheim in this game!

There is no doubt that Xiao Qing's words have an obvious meaning, that is, Hoffenheim has not considered relegation at all now, or that their goal is far higher than everyone expected, and relegation is just a joke for them! Being in the middle of the table doesn't satisfy them either, as their goal is to challenge for the Bundesliga!

'Shaw, Hoffenheim's goal is not relegation, we can understand that, Dimat. Mr. Hoppe's big investment has helped Hoffenheim quickly build a very effective team, and relegation is also a deserving result for you. But Shaw, Hoffenheim is only in the Bundesliga for the first time, and you don't want to offend Hoffenheim, but you really don't have any experience in the professional league; Maybe one day Hoffenheim can hit the Bundesliga, although your results are good, but are you ready, you must know that Borussia Mönchengladbach, Mainz and other teams have more experience than you. "The reporter of "Kicker" is a little uneasy, in his opinion, Xiao Qing is too arrogant, and now Hoffenheim is doing well, they have achieved good results in the standings; However, the victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach does not mean that Hoffenheim are capable of winning all the Bundesliga teams, and the difficulty of attacking the Bundesliga is far beyond the expectations of promoted Hoffenheim, at least as a traditional football magazine, "Kicker" obviously believes in the facts, they do not think that it is a simple matter to be promoted to the German top league in three years!

The greatest charm of the game of football is the unpredictability of the game, people are happy to see a powerful team like the giant Goliath being defeated by the ordinary David, and happy to see a black racing horse surpass the one who leads the way and is seen to win the game - this is a novel by Jemin Deasres, which is also considered to be the origin of the word "dark horse".

The most entertaining thing about football is that there are teams that make people fall through the glasses in almost every competition, and even make it all the way to the final and win the championship, which is really a model of the black. However, the cup competition has always been a hotbed of upsets, and it is very difficult for the league to go all the way to the end, because it is a protracted battle, and the dark horse team needs to always maintain a good enough form.

Hoffenheim Football Club was founded in 1945 as a gymnastics club founded in 1899. Until the 90s, Hoffenheim had been up and down in the eighth tier of the Baden-Württemberg amateur league. This is the lowest level of the eight-tier system in German football, and there are thousands of clubs like this in Germany. Around 1990, Dietmar Hoppe, a billionaire who played for Hoffenheim as a young man, began to invest in and run the club, and Hoffenheim began the process of rising from the bottom of the league to the Bundesliga.

As Hope worked hard, the club slowly improved, and by 1999 they had been promoted to the third division, and by 1999 they had played in the fifth division of Baden-Württemberg. Over the next two years, Hoffenheim was promoted two levels in a row and entered the semi-professional regional league in Baden-Württemberg. In 2006, Hope reshuffled the team, bringing in coach Jannick and acquiring some players with Bundesliga experience as well as foreign players. In 2007, Hoffenheim entered the Bundesliga with the second place in the regional league, which is also the most Haode result achieved by Hoffenheim now!

With just over 1,800 registered members, the Hoffenheim Club was once adjacent to the cowshed, making it a veritable "country club". Because Jihua was not as good as the change, the Hoffenheim team had to change the playing field several times. In 1999, the club built the 5,000-seat Dietmar Hope Stadium to meet the needs of the regional league; Now, the stadium, which has been in use for less than ten years, is obviously no longer satisfying Hoffenheim, and they are indeed building a new stadium, but this also shows that Hoffenheim is just a small club, a small and poor team!

Hoffenheim's quest for promotion to the Bundesliga may not be an impossible task because of their boss Timat Die. Hope is one of Germany's richest men and can bring in enough transfer fees for Hoffenheim; But money doesn't mean everything, and Hoffenheim still has a lot of shortcomings, so the media present are basically willing to believe that Hoffenheim will continue to make steady progress, then they are likely to be able to promote the Bundesliga one day, but definitely not this season!

"Hoffenheim is just a team that people remember, and maybe a lot of fans don't think of it; Yes, we are in a small village and we have a lot of fans, but that doesn't mean we're weak. Borussia Mönchengladbach are a great team and being able to pull off a great comeback from their hands is a hard-earned thing and that gives us more confidence. History is written by the victors, and miracles are created by people; So, it may seem strange to everyone, but we can do better. We don't have a specific goal, we don't have a goal of relegation or relegation, the only thing we have to do is to keep pushing our limits to do better! Rangnick was very satisfied with Xiao Qing, although he nodded Xiao Qing slightly, but he didn't expect Xiao Qing to be so smart that he didn't know how to talk full; It is true that we do not deny that we want to go to the next level, but we will not admit the goal of hitting the Bundesliga, so journalists, you can guess!

At the end of this press conference under the meaningful gaze of Borussia Mönchenchen coach Lu Xukai, it is certain that Hoffenheim will become the most eye-catching team in the Bundesliga during this period; Not only because they defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach, the leader of the Bundesliga, but also because Hoffenheim has sent a signal that they want to attack the Bundesliga!

"Attacking the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim does not deny it" - "Sinsheim Zeitung"

In the just-concluded 19th round of the German Second League, Hoffenheim defeated the promotion favorite Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-2 at home, Hoffenheim's leading scorer continued his previous hot form, scored two goals in the half, sent an assist and created the team's free kick opportunity Xiao Qing said after the game that Hoffenheim will continue to challenge, Hoffenheim will create their own history and miracles!

Don't underestimate football! - The Kicker

There are several important games in the 19th round of the just-concluded Bundesliga, among which Hoffenheim defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-2 at home to continue the third consecutive win in the second half of the game, and they continue to advance in the standings, and the battle for promotion places in the Bundesliga after the 19th round of matches is in a stalemate.

Borussia Mönchengladbach are winless in the second half of the second half and remain in the lead with 37 points. Mainz, who were originally second in the standings, lost 1-2 at home to Fürth in this round, and they dropped to third place in the standings with 34 points; On the other hand, Fürth won all three points in key games away and jumped to second place in the standings with 36 points. Cologne and Freiburg, who were fourth and fifth in the standings, lost to Aachen and Paderborn respectively, dropping to fifth and sixth place with 31 points and 30 points. Hoffenheim, who performed eye-catching in this round of the game, temporarily jumped to the fourth place in the standings with nine wins, six draws and four losses after winning at home against Hoffenheim with 33 points!

The battle for the top six places in the Bundesliga table is fierce, with Borussia Mönchenchen, Fürth Fürth, Mainz, Hoffenheim, Cologne and Freiburg in one to six places, and given that there will still be collisions between these direct qualifiers in the second half of the competition, it is believed that the two teams will start to fall behind.

Hoffenheim, the biggest dark horse in the Bundesliga this season, has almost completed the task of relegation ahead of schedule, but Hoffenheim is not satisfied, they want to hit a higher league - the Bundesliga! Hoffenheim's leading scorer Xiao Qing announced after the game that Hoffenheim's goal for the season will be to impact the Bundesliga!

Hoffenheim have quality and Shaw is good, but as a first-time professional player and a young player playing professionally for the first time, it's something to be aware of, but it's important to know where you are, because it's much harder than you think!

Borussia Mönchengladbach, Fürth and Mainz are among the best teams in the Bundesliga, and although Hoffenheim have a good record at the moment, they may overlook some details due to lack of experience. Hoffenheim's attacking prowess is outstanding, but their defense is terrible; Attacking to win fans and defending to win championships, the same is true for promotion, only a stable backline can ensure that the team wins more, and the current Hoffenheim backline needs to be improved.

We would like to believe that Hoffenheim will be the favourites for promotion next season, but not this season! Don't underestimate football, it's far more difficult than you think!

Xiao Qing didn't care about some of the criticisms of "Kicker", he didn't care about these at all; Or when Xiao Qing did not deny that Hoffenheim wanted to upgrade, both Hoffenheim and Xiao Qing began to receive more criticism. Xiao Qing is very low-key, he knows that it is useless to talk more at this time, what he needs to do now is to respond to those doubts with a better performance on the court; Am I arrogant? That's certainly not, because I have that ability!

"No one has more experience than Hoffenheim, you must know that we have been promoted at the lowest level of the eighth level, and we have far more promotion experience than other teams!" The Hoffenheim owner was very dissatisfied with the team being underestimated, and the sixty-seven-year-old guy began to fire at the media who underestimated his team, "Hoffenheim is a very good team, Shaw is a very capable player, we have a group of outstanding young players, we can create miracles that you think are impossible, because we are the hope of Hoffenheim!" ”
