Hoffenheim's last game before the winter break is at home to Schalke 04, which is also Hoffenheim's last game at the Karl Benz Arena, after which they will go to their new home Rhine-Neckar Arena to start the second half of the game, the Rhine-Neckar Arena is located in Sinsheim, which began to be built as early as 2007, lasted two years, cost 60 million euros, and can accommodate 30,164 people. But it's one of the most modern stadiums in Europe, and it was the venue for the 2011 Women's World Cup.

Hoffenheim's move to the Rhein-Neckar Arena is exciting news and sad news for the Hoffenheim fans and players, as the year and a half since Hoffenheim had a brilliant record at the Karl Benz Stadium on loan, winning the Bundesliga, the UEFA Cup and the German Cup, and they have a winning record at home stadium to this day.

However, no matter how good the blessed land is, Hoffenheim need their own stadium, especially this season they are likely to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, and the league title is basically defended without any problem, and the club's management and Mr. Hope want to be able to fully celebrate in their new home, so the stadium is being built at an accelerated pace, and it will start to adapt to use after it is built. Now all the equipment is fully up to standard and fully capable of hosting any world-class competition.

Even though Hoffenheim are already eight points ahead of second-placed Wolfsburg, they are desperate to win and end their year and a half at the Karl Benz Stadium.

The farewell match attracted a large number of fans, many of whom came with digital cameras, hoping to capture the historic Hoffenheim scene. Hoffenheim's behind-the-scenes boss Hope also traveled from the United States to Germany to watch the game.

In an interview with the Mannheim Zeitung, Hope said: "Hoffenheim came to the Karl Benz Stadium as a winner, and we have to leave as a winner, we will never forget the Karl Benz Stadium, we will never forget the Mannheim fans, and we will never forget the happiness brought to us here." Hoffenheim's players have said that they must beat Schalke 04 at home to end this year and a half of wandering career with the most perfect ending, the heart and soul of the team, is participating in the selection of World Footballer, and Li Huan, who is also a popular star of World Footballer of the Year, expressed his views in the media.

'We never treated Karl Benz and Mannheim on loan, it's like our home, the inspiration and support we have here is limitless, without the support of the local fans we wouldn't have had last season, now we only have one last game left, we have to win, it has nothing to do with Schalke 04 sacking Coach Rangnick.'

Schalke 04 and Hoffenheim have some hatred, in addition to the factor of Rangnick, they lost and lost last season and were abused by Hoffenheim is also an important reason. Now Hoffenheim's final farewell game, Schalke 04 is very eager to act as a spoiler, even if it can't win, let Hoffenheim be discouraged. And now Hoffenheim has a faint momentum in the Bundesliga, like strong teams that have a little idea of the championship are interested in dragging Hoffenheim forward.

Coach Slomka believes that in addition to Hoffenheim, the entire Bundesliga will support Schalke 04 to win, and their victory over Hoffenheim is not only for Schalke 04 to score three points, but also to save the Bundesliga, if Hoffenheim makes the championship lose suspense early, it will be another major blow to the Bundesliga that lacks attention.

The day before the game, Hoffenheim was preparing for tomorrow's match against Schalke 04 at the Dietmarhope Stadium in Hoffenheim Village, the players seemed very relaxed, talking about the new stadium after training, and the assistant coach also took time to visit their new home Rheinnecka Arena in the morning.

Suddenly, Ibisevic said to Li Huan, who was practicing shooting: "Li Huan, isn't that one outside your fellow countryman?" ”

Li Huan thought it was Liu Yang, but when he turned his head, it was Peng Xiaolang, Jia Lei was beside him, the two of them were talking about something, this time was really a break in the team's training, Li Huan walked to the sidelines and said to Peng Xiaolang: "Little wolf, why are you here, is your youth team on holiday in advance?" ”

Peng Xiaolang said: "Yes, Brother Huan, it's already on vacation, come and see your game." ”

Jia Lei secretly took two leisure photos of Li Huan before saying, "Li Huan, the little wolf is here, you have a treat tonight, I will accompany you." ”

Li Huan smiled and said, "It's not enough to only have one companion, find two more." ”

Jia Lei gestured a thumbs down to Li Huan and said, "You are poor, let me tell you, the little wolf is here to ask you for help." ”

Li Huan was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you help, as long as I can help, just say it." ”

Peng Xiaolang scratched his head and said: "Brother Huan, I want to come to Hoffenheim for trial, there is no chance for Hertha Berlin to enter the first team, I have stayed enough in the second team, I want to come out and try the opportunity." ”

"Oh, it's good to try, didn't Brother Shao and Brother Sun also try a few clubs to find the right one." Li Huan encouraged, but he had already summed it up in his heart, Peng Xiaolang's technical speed awareness and experience, Li Huan knew very well, although Peng Xiaolang was very tall, but his strength and speed were lacking, and there was basically no chance in Hoffenheim when there were two high school forwards, Demba Ba and Ibisevic. Playing midfielder, Peng Xiaolang lacks aura and technique. If Peng Xiaolang's speed is fast enough, he can also get a substitute position as a striker. Li Huan is very optimistic that Peng Xiaolang will pass the trial at Hoffenheim, but this has a lot to do with the interests of the club and the team's results, and Li Huan can't intercede in person.

Jia Lei is also well-informed, she knows very well that Hoffenheim is now strong, Peng Xiaolang has no chance to gain a foothold in the first team, and said: "Li Huan, in fact, I think it's not bad to let Peng Xiaolang train in the second team, your second team is still playing in the German Cup, and you can only play with children and amateur teams in Hertha Berlin." ”

Peng Xiaolang said: "Well, I think the same way, Hoffenheim is a world-class team, and you can get better training in Hoffenheim than Hertha Berlin." ”

Li Huan said: "Well, it's good that you can have such patience, success is not accidental, you take a good look at our training in the past two days, and after the game, I will contact Coach Peters, and you can try out." ”

"Okay, Brother Huan, thank you, you can train, I'll take a look."

Li Huan slapped Peng Xiaolang on the chest and said, "What are you being polite to me, okay, I'll train, eat with me at noon, I'm just tired of eating nutritious meals." ”
