Although it is a matter for the club and the coach to buy a player, usually the coach will discuss it with the players and ask for their opinions, and the average player will not object to the club's purchase plan, unless the player has caused public outrage in any way. Li Huan as the heart and soul of the team, the introduction of Baker is also to make a substitute for Li Huan, Rangnick has already told him the news, Li Huan agreed with the club's recruitment, and he also suggested that the club had better introduce another striker and a central defender, Hoffenheim only has four people available on the front line, for a team that aspires to win the championship, four strikers are too few, and the central defenders Comber and Jaisler are too young, and the reason why Hoffenheim conceded more goals in the first half is not all on the goalkeeper, Defenders also have some responsibility.

Li Huan said that Rangnick knows better, but there is only a short month of winter break where to find such a suitable player, Hoffenheim has always been very calm and rational in the transfer market, and will not buy first like Chelsea, and then say, if it doesn't work, change it, although Rangnick is in charge of Hoffenheim, but he can't use Hope's trust in him to abuse power.

After Li Huan returned to Germany, Hoffenheim's reinforcements have not been completed, Hoffenheim has taken the lead in the league, Stuttgart is very jealous and resolutely refuses to sell Beck, and Beck has no confidence in whether he can grab the main force from Gustavo's hands, and Li Huan's body is as strong as Superman, when Li Huan's substitute can get some garbage time at most, so he has been hesitant.

Because of Hope's relationship, Rangnick and Li Huan get along very well, and he told Li Huan about these situations, Li Huan groaned for a while, and said: "Actually, there is another person in Stuttgart who has great potential, and the coach may wish to consider it." ”

Rangnick's eyes lit up and he said, "Which one?" ”

"Khedira." Li Huan said.

"Oh, it's Khedira, he's really a good player, he's got a good sense of the big picture, and he's got a good pass and assist, but I'm afraid Stuttgart won't let him go, and Stuttgart is determined not to sell to us right now, unless the player wants to come on his own." Rangnick Road.

Li Huan said: "We are now the leader, Stuttgart is in the relegation zone, if Khedira is promised the main position, it may be possible, but if Khedira plays the main force, Eduardo and Sarihovic must have someone to play as a substitute." ”

Rangnick said helplessly: "This is the crux of the problem, our team is not so famous, these people are not willing to come to us to sit on the cold bench, but our current squad has been run in, and it is difficult to let the players bought during the winter break play the main team." ”

Li Huan thought that Rangnick wanted to give up the reinforcements, and said: "The team has no backup candidates, in case our main squad has an injury in the half, but the team can't find a player who can be replaced, our road to winning the championship will be difficult, Bayern and our biggest advantage is the thickness of the squad, the strength of their bench players can play the absolute main force in other Bundesliga teams, I think our second half is actually the most dangerous." ”

Rangnick's eyes became extremely firm, and said: "Li Huan, you don't have to worry, I lost to Bayern when I was in Stuttgart and Schalke 04 because of lack of stamina, and I will never be overtaken by Bayern again this time." Whether or not I can buy the right person, I will spend the 20 million money that Mr. Hope gave. ”

Li Huan suddenly remembered a player who is not yet famous, and said: "I found a player with great potential in Munich, he is the second team of Bayern, it seems that no one has paid attention to him yet, I think he is no worse than the person we poached from Stuttgart." ”

"Poaching people from Bayern?" Rangnick said in surprise, because in the Bundesliga, Bayern has always poached the corners of other teams, and no team has dared to poach Bayern's corners.

Li Huan said with a smile: "Yes, poaching talents from the camp of competitors can hit the morale of opponents even more." This kid's name is Thomas. Muller, a year older than Strelve, is incredibly talented, stronger than Streve, and has a better scoring ability. ”

Rangnick obviously hasn't heard of this person, but he rarely sees Li Huan praise a young man like this, and Streve's talent is often sarcastically attacked by Li Huan, Rangnick hesitated: "I'll let Christie scout take a look and listen to his opinion, now we need more players who can be bought and used, this Thomas Muller we can observe for a while." ”

Li Huan saw that Rangnick didn't pay attention to his suggestions, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, if he didn't buy Muller now, he would have no chance at the end of the season, but he couldn't tell Rangnick that you should buy him now even if you pay 10 million, and his value can double several times in three years. Li Huan can only suggest that it depends on Rangnick's whether to buy it or not.

Hoffenheim first got goalkeeper Hildebrand, Rangnick used his former status as Hildebrand's coach to personally persuade him, Hildebrand himself put pressure on Valencia, because Hildebrand and Valencia only have a one-year contract, if Hildebrand is not transferred now, Hildebrand can transfer freely this summer, and Valencia will not get a penny. In the end, Hoffenheim got the German third national door for 2 million.

Hoffenheim then played the third round of the German Cup and Jena, in this strong and weak game Hildebrand debuted, Hoffenheim won 4:0, but because Hoffenheim's attack was too strong, Jena had almost no chance to attack, Hildebrand did not get the real test, but not conceding a goal is news for Hoffenheim, and the media attributed all the credit to Hildebrand, believing that he brought good luck to Hoffenheim.

Because Hoffenheim did not get Beck done, their offer for Khedira was rejected by Stuttgart, and Stuttgart's chairman even threatened to leave the player on the bench rather than let them move if Hoffenheim poached their corner again.

Rangnick had no choice but to strengthen the defensive strength of the central defence, and they spent 9 million euros from Hertha Berlin to buy 29-year-old Croatian veteran Simunic, hoping that Simunic's experience could add a fuse to Hoffenheim's backline. The move came as a surprise to fans, as Hoffenheim didn't start with Simunich. Simunic wasn't fast, but he picked and played very well and read the game. It is just enough to make up for the problem of being too young and reckless in the Hoffenheim backline.

Hoffenheim made another move at the end of the winter break transfer market, but this time they were targeting Brazil, who paid €5 million to buy their leading goalscorer Wellington from Brazil's Intersporting Club. Wellington was technically excellent and fully capable but was a substitute for Hoffenheim's three strikers.

At the same time, Hoffenheim also signed a formal professional contract with Stref of the youth team, which is equivalent to adding a reinforcement to the first team.

After completing a series of acquisitions, the league also kicked off again, Duisburg met the Golden Army from Borussia Dortmund at home, and Hoffenheim beat Dortmund 3-1 in the first round of the league to kick off the winning streak, which gave them great confidence and encouragement, and it can be said that Dortmund indirectly fulfilled Hoffenheim.

After 17 league games, the promoted horses have become the leaders, while Dortmund is in 13th place and still not out of the relegation zone, and the mentality and state of the two teams meeting again have changed dramatically, Hoffenheim has suddenly become a strong man on the top, while Dortmund has become a weakling.

It was the first game since the start of the league and a morale-boosting one, with Hoffenheim not sending the players they transferred during the winter break, but still the main squad for the first half of the season against this Borussia Dortmund side.

With half a season of games, Hoffenheim's offensive and defensive have been seen through by other teams in the Bundesliga, this Dortmund head coach Dole judged the situation, did not play against Hoffenheim, the most powerful attack in the Bundesliga, they played a dense defense away from home, focusing on Li Huan who appeared on their left side, leaving only Petritsch and the diligent and running Valdés to fight back resolutely.

Dortmund's serious left-leaning defense Li Huan's tactics made Hoffenheim very uncomfortable, they have become accustomed to and rely on Li Huan to open the door to victory for the team, now the left side is blocked, Hoffenheim's offensive ability has greatly decreased, and their way has not improved much compared to the first half, and it is not easy to break through the goal of Dortmund, which deliberately lowered its profile.

In the first game of the second half, until the 90th minute, Hoffenheim got the last corner kick, Li Huan's corner kick was passed to the front of the penalty area, Demba Ba rubbed back, and Ibertsberg, who followed up resolutely at the back point, shot successfully from a small angle, scoring his first goal of the season and helping Hoffenheim to win the first game with difficulty.

After the game between Dortmund and Hoffenheim, when other teams in the Bundesliga played against Hoffenheim, they all lowered their posture to fight Hoffenheim as weakling, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart also learned the lessons of being slaughtered in the first half, and resolutely defended in their own home stadium, watching Li Huan die, and using counterattacks to sneak attack Hoffenheim's backline, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart's strikers' personal ability is not comparable to Dortmund, In the end, Hoffenheim only got two one-to-one scores in the two away games, and were chased by Bayern who fiercely grabbed points by four points, and the score difference between Hoffenheim and Bayern was only four points, and the battle for the Bundesliga title became more fierce in the second half.
