Chapter 108: The Climax of a Season

readx;

In fact, when the game entered injury time, Leif had already begun to report the statistics for everyone: "In fact, whether Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg win the championship, it will be another new championship in the history of the Bundesliga." Before that www.biquge.info the Bundesliga had a new title in 1995-1996 thirteen years ago, when Borussia Dortmund won the title. Both teams have had a good season, with Hoffenheim having a terrifying first half of the season and Wolfsburg's quiet second-half push to push them off from their rivals. Wolfsburg have the all-time scorers of the Bundesliga, Grafitt and Dzeko, who have combined to score 54 goals, surpassing Gerd. Muller and Uli. Hoeness set a record of 53 goals in a single season set 37 years ago. And if Ibisevic is not injured, Hoffenheim may be able to take the honor into their arms. However, they have the assist king of the Bundesliga this season - Chu! Although he didn't set up a goal for his team-mates in the game, he has created a total of 115 scoring chances for his team-mates this season, and his team-mates have seized 23 of them. Wolfsburg's Misimovic had an assist in this game, but it only increased his assist count to 20, which still could not shake Chu's number of assists, and Misimovic's 20 assists were only equal to the best record, but Chu set a new record. Very few people can create more than twenty assists in a season, and Chu has accomplished something that no one else can do - twenty-three assists in one season! This is the most assists in a single season in the history of the Bundesliga! Last season's assist leader in the Bundesliga, Diego of Bremen, scored eleven goals in 24 appearances. Looking at the whole of European football last season, the Premier League's assist leader was Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas with 19 assists. La Liga is Real Madrid's Guti and Mallorca's Ibargasa, each with fourteen assists. In Serie A, Roma's Pizarro assisted 12 goals. Ligue 1's assist champions are Paris Saint-Germain's Carew's Caliw and Saint-Etienne's Feindono, with four each. ”

The statistic of assists is not as good as that of goals, because many leagues have different statistical rules. The Bundesliga tend to have more assists because they count the last pass before the shot is scored. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian made a direct pass in the backfield, and his teammates in front of him ran 30 meters after receiving the ball, and then shot and scored after several people, which was also Chu Zhongtian's assist. And if it is placed in Serie A, Chu Zhongtian's goal is not an assist. Serie A has very strict requirements, and it must be scored within three steps after receiving the ball to be considered an assist, so the most typical assist is a cross from the side, and a direct shot from the middle is scored.

Chu Zhongtian has such a high number of assists, and he has been taken care of by the Bundesliga's assist statistics rules. But despite this, it is also very powerful. You must know that there are many balls that he did not directly assist, but he planned them.

"With such a good performance, now everyone looks at how wise Hope was to pay 30 million euros for him. No one will ever laugh at Hope for being wronged again. 30 million bought a Bundesliga assist king, the team's new core, the biggest contributor to helping the team win the league championship, businessman Hope made another good deal. ”

The suspense of the game on the field has been lost, so Leif has the effort to report the numbers to everyone.

On the other side, the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, there was silence. Wolfsburg fans already know that in injury time, the score between Schalke 04 and Hoffenheim is still 1:3, and Schalke 04 cannot score three goals in less than five minutes to complete the big reversal, so the victory on Wolfsburg's side seems meaningless, although they swept Werder Bremen 5:1, which is regarded as revenge for the 2:5 loss to Bremen in the first half of the season.

The green flag in the stands was lowered, and the fans stopped singing and looked dazed, and they could only accept the result like this.

The Wolfsburg players on the field were also depressed one by one, and some even couldn't hold back their disappointment and left sad tears.

They set a number of Bundesliga records in the second half of the season, such as the longest winning streak and the most goalscorer combinations...... But none of these records are worth mentioning in front of the Bundesliga champions.

Hoffenheim withstood the pressure in the final moments and didn't give them a chance to turn the tables around. All their efforts have become green leaves to set off the red flower of the new champion, they are the best foil for Hoffenheim, and make Hoffenheim's Bundesliga championship full of gold.

Magath lowered his head high, and there was nothing he could do about the outcome. They tried, but since the defeat to Stuttgart, their fate is out of their hands. The title always belongs to the team that performs better, and Hoffenheim are clearly better than them. They can lose away to Stuttgart, but Hoffenheim can beat the mighty Bayern Munich at home.

That race was the one that really decided the championship.

It now appears that Wolfsburg's defeat this season has been decided in two places, one is naturally the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Stuttgart, and the other is the Rhein-Neckar, home stadium of Hoffenheim. If they don't lose to Stuttgart, then Hoffenheim will not be able to complete the comeback and return to the top of the table. If Hoffenheim hadn't beaten Bayern Munich at home, then now they could win the title as long as Wolfsburg won, and they don't have to look at other people's faces at all, and their fate is in their own hands.

It's a pity that there are no ifs on the football field. Because if you say if, the opponent can say that if they play a little better in the second half, Wolfsburg will not have a chance to dream of winning the title.

The game is not over yet, but the Hoffenheim players are no longer focused on the game, time is running out, and they are two goals ahead, barring a very, very small accident in which they are effectively the league champions.

Schalke 04's players also looked lacking in morale, so Hoffenheim's players could kick their feet back and forth during the game and wait for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game.

The Bundesliga's live TV broadcast was very keen to give a close-up of Hildebrand, a game that played brilliantly, and the goalkeeper who made several key saves when Schalke 04 laid siege to Hoffenheim had tears in his eyes. He moved to Hoffenheim in order to regain his form and fight for a place in the German national team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He was fed up with the blank eyes and doubts in his years in Spain, and he didn't expect to lift the Bundesliga title just after returning to Germany. For a moment, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. When he left the German league, he joined Valencia with the halo of the Bundesliga champion, and now he has returned to Germany and won the Bundesliga title...... He felt like he had a dream, but he never left Stuttgart...... Weiss even raised his arms and cheered many times during the game. Chu Zhongtian kicked the ball to him, he caught the ball and then passed it out, and then raised his arms high, unwilling to put it down.

He wasn't the only one doing so, as many Hoffenheim players were distracted in the final moments of the game and focused on celebration. Except for Hildebrand, no one in this team has ever won the Bundesliga, let alone the Bundesliga, even in the other four major European leagues, and no one in this team has won the championship. Chu Zhongtian, the most experienced, also has only three cup titles.

There was only one thought in everyone's mind: "Champion!" Champion! We're fucking champions! It's a damn league champion! ”

Winning the league title as a promoted horse is truly remarkable. Enough to make them proud of it for a long time.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands set off the prepared fireworks early on, hugging each other and cheering in the stands.

Schalke 04 fans left the stadium early in disappointment after witnessing a season of defeat at home.

The president of the German Football Association, Zwanzig, has sent a message to Hoffenheim club owner Dietmar, who is sitting next to him. Hope held out his hand, "Congratulations, Dietma. It's been an unforgettable season, one of the best I've ever seen. You did it, congratulations! ”

Hope shook the other party's hand, and there was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden: "Thank you, thank you...... It's all a credit to Rangnick and the lads......"

※※※ The referee is also very understanding, and when he saw that everyone's attention was not on the game, he decisively blew the whistle for the end of the game in advance.

"Match-race-tie-tie! Congratulations on the new Bundesliga champions! Hoffenheim!! ”

When the referee blew the final whistle, there was a huge cheer from the stands where Hoffenheim fans had gathered. Many people were already in tears and hid their faces with their hands. Many of them are the most die-hard Hoffenheim fans, so how far are the hardcore fans? A few decades ago, when Hoffenheim was a small team playing for themselves in the regional amateur league, they used to appear in the humble stands, watching the players play on the bare dirt pitch and cheering them on. Some of them have even played in Hoffenheim like that. They never imagined that their stadium would one day play in the professional league, and they would be promoted to the third level in two years and become a member of the Bundesliga, they never imagined that the small village of Hoffenheim would have a team like Bayern Munich to play, and they never imagined that the team's games would attract more than 150 countries to broadcast live...... As for the Bundesliga winners? I can't even think about it, it's a matter of Bayern Munich and other teams, and it has nothing to do with our group of hillbillies.

But now, things that they couldn't even think of in the past have happened in front of their eyes, and they have become a reality.

This time last year, when they were promoted to the first division as runners-up in the Bundesliga, there was a big celebration in Sinsheim, and many felt it would be the most important moment of their lives. How could they have imagined that only a year later, this most important moment was about to change, maybe this was the most important moment of their lives?

Cornelia was in the crowd, her arms, shoulders and chest were all covered with sweat, and she was still singing hard, just slightly out of tune, and her voice was shaking.

"We will win! The glass is full of beer! ”

※※※ Fritz. Abel screamed and fell to his knees in front of the TV, like a player after a goal, with his arms raised and pointing to the ceiling, throwing his head up and screaming: "Champion!" Champion! We are the champions!! ”

Then he leapt from the ground and ran in circles in the small living room with his arms outstretched. He jumped over the chair that stood in the way, jumped off the couch, and finally jumped on the stool onto the table, waved the Hoffenheim scarf in his hand, and began to sing the Hoffenheim team song: "We will win!" The glass is full of beer! ”

Daniel turned around in the final moments of the game to look at the scores of Bayern Munich and Stuttgart. 2:1, Bayern Munich won the game, and after seeing this result, he switched back to Schalke 04's home game against Hoffenheim.

He watched the referee blow the final whistle and the Hoffenheim players hugged each other.

The team he had always looked down on became the new champions of the Bundesliga before his eyes, and he lost his bet with Abel.

He was wondering what he would say tomorrow if he saw Abel...... as soon as the final whistle blew when the Hoffenheim substitutes and coaches who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed into the field, and the Hoffenheim players in the field hugged their teammates next to them.

They are unleashing their emotions to the fullest, for this league championship that has been fighting all season, for the miracle of promotion!

In fact, in the first half of the season, they didn't realize that they could become league champions this season, they just relied on a momentum of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", with a sense of freshness, buried their heads and sprinted, and rushed to the position of winter champion. Even if there were opponents who said that Hoffenheim could compete for the league title this season, they only thought it was a psychological warfare trick of a cunning opponent, whenever it happened. It wasn't until after the game against Bayern Munich that Chu Zhongtian said on TV that his goal was to hope that the team would win the league title, and everyone realized that maybe it was really possible?

The second half of the season was another tumultuous one for the team and they went through a lot. But none of these things broke them, and with each difficulty and trouble they experienced, they learned a lot from it, and thus gained the strength to keep going.

This is the most important reason why they didn't make a mistake in the last two rounds.

Chu Zhongtian clenched his hands into fists, and then raised them high, and then he was hugged by his excited teammates, he didn't even have time to see who was coming, he only heard him roar in his ear: "Champion!" We are the champions! We are league champions!! ”

This sentence is perhaps the most talked about at this time.

The media also rushed onto the pitch, looking for the winners, trying to dig something of value out of the excitement's mouth.

Rangnick, as the head coach of the team, the creator of the miracle of the promotion horse, was naturally surrounded by the most media.

And Chu Zhongtian, as the captain of the team, has been the most successful recruit this season, and there is no shortage of media pursuit.

Especially the Chinese media.

For them, Hoffenheim won the championship, and at the same time, it is also the pride of the Chinese, because the core of this championship team is Chu Zhongtian from China.

They surrounded Chu Zhongtian one after another, wanting to hear Chu Zhongtian's thoughts on winning the championship.

"Isn't it exciting to be the second Kaiserslautern, Chu Zhongtian?"

"No, no, no!" Chu Zhong Angel shook his head vigorously, he was indeed very excited, and it could be seen from the strength and amplitude of his shaking head. The league championship is his dream honor. Even if he has won the UEFA Cup, the French Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, it is no different. As a professional footballer, who doesn't aspire to more accolades? "We are not the second Kaiserslautern, we are the first Hoffenheim!"

"Congratulations on winning the Bundesliga, Chu! Any assessment for this season? ”

"Very wonderful! It was perfect! ”

"So is there anything you'd like to say......"

"This champion...... This championship is first and foremost dedicated to Ibi! I know you're watching it in front of the TV, Ibi! This championship is yours! Thank you for the goal! Chu Zhongtian was already a little incoherent with excitement, he had won the League Cup, but the league championship was more important.

The reporters wanted to ask more questions, and at this time, the faces of several Chinese reporters changed when they saw the situation behind Chu Zhongtian, and then Chu Zhongtian felt that he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head - in fact, it was not cold water, it was a large glass of beer...... "Whahaha!" How does it feel? Clear! This is especially for you! A gift for our whole team! "The person who poured the wine was the defender Comper, who was usually quite old and steady, and at this time he also showed his youthful side, he loved to make trouble, and he was playing crazy.

Chu Zhongtian wiped the beer on his face and turned back to look at Comper, who had already run away. Then he turned to the media and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take care of it...... and then he ran away, snatching a bottle of beer from his teammate Pogatts. After shaking violently, he flicked the cap open with his thumb and sprayed at the fleeing Comper.

Many media looked at this group of crazy champions and were a little helpless...... Rangnick was not spared. When he was interviewed by the media, he was splashed with beer from different directions by several players. The glasses were full of liquor, and I couldn't see anything.

It's a tradition in German football, and after winning the championship, everyone has to take a "beer bath".

After the commotion, the Hoffenheim team returned to the dressing room to change their clothes, and they put on the T-shirts that had been prepared for a long time, "The first Bundesliga title, this is just the beginning", and returned to the pitch. The podium has been set.

Because it wasn't on their home turf, the victory ceremony was simple. The real celebration began when they returned to Sinsheim. There, there's a big party waiting for them, and it's a city-wide party.

With a smile on their faces, everyone came to the stage one by one to accept the award from Mr. President of the German Football Association. Their boss, Mr. Hope, stood aside, shaking hands with every player who had finished the medal, patting them on the shoulder and cheek and saying compliments on them.

Most of the time it's "Well done, lad", "Awesome, Saiyad", "Congratulations, Tobias" or something like that.

After Rangnick accepted the award, he walked up to Hope, who was no longer just saying a sentence and patting him on the shoulder, and the two of them chatted.

At the same time, the eyes of both men were glancing towards the podium.

The last person to take the stage was the captain Chu Zhongtian.

He bent down and asked Zwanczyg to hang himself with the gold medal. The president of the German Football Association shook his hand and said: "Your performance this season has been fantastic, Chu. Congratulations, you and your teammates deserve it......" he said as he walked to the table where the medal was placed. Chu Zhongtian followed, and in fact, his eyes were locked on this silver shining prize plate from the beginning.

The Bundesliga championship is different from other leagues in that it is not a trophy, but a trophy plate, a large salad plate.

Now this large salad plate is surrounded by Hoffenheim players, and it is about to be awarded to the president of the German Football Association, Zwanzig, who took down some of the weight of the medal and handed it to Chu Zhongtian.

The most ** of a season is coming.

Chu Zhongtian took the trophy and did not lift it immediately, but leaned over and put the trophy on his knees. At the same time, his teammates behind him and the Hoffenheim fans in the stands leaned over with their hands raised, shaking their arms slightly, and a sustained low cheer came out of their mouths. It's a unique move for German fans, who make this muffled sound every time before a set-piece kick and then rush to the top as the ball is kicked out.

This time, Chu Zhongtian kept pressing the medal plate and did not lift it, and everyone's cheers continued like this.

As if he was accumulating strength, when he felt that it was enough, he jerked up the trophy in his hand, and the cheers suddenly increased, like a volcanic eruption.

"Champion! Hoffenheim! ”
