Chapter 347: A Tight Schedule
After four rounds of league games, Bayern Munich has only 5 points, but Bayern Munich is definitely not the worst one, the worst is Schalke 04, which has invested the most this season, four rounds of the league, Schalke 04 has not won a single win, not even a draw.
Schalke 04 is also the only team in the Bundesliga without points, and it is conceivable that Magathdo is under pressure at the moment, and surprisingly there is another team, Mainz, who have won all four league games and are the only team in the Bundesliga to keep winning all of them.
Against Cologne's draw, Bayern Munich did not have much time to be sad, after all, Bayern Munich's schedule is very intensive, three days after the end of the fourth round of the league, Bayern Munich will usher in the second away game, challenging Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim are currently performing quite well, with three wins and one draw in four league games, and are one of the only three unbeaten teams in the Bundesliga, the other is Hamburg, but Hamburg has two wins and two draws, and in the standings, Hoffenheim is second only to Mainz, who have won all.
Van Gaal did not make any changes to the game, with the main line-up exactly the same as the previous game against Cologne.
Bayern Munich lineup: 442
Goalkeeper: Bout
Defenders: Contento, Bad Stuber, Van Bitten, Lahm
Midfielders: Ribery, Li Feng, Schweinsteiger, Kroos
Forwards: Muller, Klose
Hoffenheim lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Haas
Defenders: Kampa, Vossa, Simunic. Baker
Midfielder: Weiss. Gustavo. Salihovich,
Forwards: Demba Ba, Ibisevic, Rudy
Hoffenheim's central core is Salihovic, a forward from Bosnia and Herzegovina, although he is only 26 years old, but he is already a Hoffenheim veteran, Hoffenheim has been promoted from the North and South League all the way to the Bundesliga, Salihovic can be said to have contributed a lot. And his strength has not been improved with Hoffenheim's promotion, and he has fallen behind the team.
Since joining Hoffenheim in '06, Salihovic has been an unshakable presence in the middle of Hoffenheim, and has been in stable form with very few injuries.
In addition to Salihovic, Hoffenheim's other core is from the front line, Ibisevic, also from Bosnia and Herzegovina, in fact, Hoffenheim is somewhat similar to Wolfsburg before, the core of both teams is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Wolfsburg is Misimovic and Dzeko. The location is also exactly the same.
In the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's results are not as good as Wolfsburg's. In terms of the national team, the Hoffenheim duo has also been suppressed by the Wolfsburg duo, but this situation has changed this season when Misimovic left Wolfsburg and left Germany due to the arrival of Diego.
As for Li Feng's follow-up in this game, it was the Brazilian midfielder, Gustavo, who last met, the latter was suspended, and this time, it was also the first time the two met in the Bundesliga.
Before the game, Van Gaal had already mobilized, and Bayern Munich seemed to have some ambition for this game, but the games were often unsatisfactory.
With the referee Kim Hov's whistle, Hoffenheim took the lead in the attack, and also set the fastest time to score in the Bundesliga this season, just 40 seconds into the game, which is definitely a huge shame for Bayern Munich.
After passing the two feet, the ball came to the feet of Salihovic, and then the Bosnian forward began to enter the Bayern Munich half, Li Feng stepped forward to defend for the first time, and in the face of Li Feng, Salihovic directly kicked the side.
The ball was down the right and Rudy, who was clearly out of the groove and was comfortably cleared by Rudy and delivered a quality cross.
In the penalty area, Bad Stuber and Van Bitten also looked careless, at the moment of Rudy's pass, rushed into the penalty area Ibisevic actually had no defense, in the face of such a big gift, the Bosnian striker naturally smiled.
Unload the ball with your right foot, then calmly adjust the angle and push it with one shot.
"GOAL~~~~ GOAL~~~Ibyšević~~Ibiševic, less than a minute into the opening, Hoffenheim took the lead, an unexpected start, who would have thought that there would be such a situation just after the opening, Hoffenheim's goal seemed so simple, so easy."
"There is no doubt ~~~ This is a mistake of the entire Bayern Munich defense, the young Contento looked a little reckless, was easily broken through by Rudy, and Van Bitten and Bad Stuber are the biggest sinners of this goal, they actually allowed Ibisevic to rush into the Bayern Munich penalty area without coming forward to defend, and Bute's save was also half a beat slower."
After being scored, Bayern Munich's entire backline was bowed and they didn't even dare to look to the sidelines, knowing that Van Gaal's wrath was waiting for them.
Hoffenheim's celebration didn't last long, and despite the goal at the start, there were still 90 minutes to go, and when the game was over, they were ahead of Bayern Munich, so that was something to celebrate.
The game restarted with Bayern Munich kicking off, but Bayern Munich's players soon noticed that the Hoffenheim squad had shrunk, and after taking the lead, the Hoffenheim head coach waved his hand and began to play defensive counterattacks.
In this regard, although Bayern Munich is helpless, but the game is currently behind, they have to attack, and Bayern Munich is a team known for attacking, last season, they beat Barcelona, is the strongest offensive team in Europe.
In the third minute, Li Feng sent a beautiful over-the-top cross in the face of Gustavo's defense, sent the ball into the penalty area, and found Muller in the penalty area, but Muller did not have a chance to shoot, and Wossa blocked in front of Erwa.
Muller passed the ball and Klose was able to shoot under Simunic's interference, but his downed tackle sent the ball straight into Haas's arms.
In the sixth minute, Bayern Munich again attacked the heart of Hoffenheim, and Li Feng passed back to Schweinsteiger between Gustavo and Weiss, who played a ball to Lahm who cut in from behind.
The Bayern captain successfully crossed under the cover of Kroos, but unfortunately the two Bayern Munich forwards did not compete for the header, Simunic pushed the ball out, just left at the feet of Schweinsteiger, in the face of this opportunity, the little pig naturally will not miss, directly pick up the foot and shoot from a distance.
After a beautiful arc, the ball went over the post and hit the side-netting, and the fans who didn't see it clearly thought Bayern Munich had equalised, but the referee's whistle said it all.
Bayern Munich fans were disappointed, while Hoffenheim fans rejoiced. (To be continued.) )
