Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 359 Killed the old club
In addition to the glorious year of Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim, there is no need to worry about relegation, from the beginning of this season, Karlsruhe is one of the biggest favorites for relegation, when meeting Hoffenheim. quANBen。 They are third from bottom in the points table, with only Cottage Ivbus and Bielefeld behind them, and they are unlikely to be relegated.
Karlsruhe's poor results are due to the difficulties they faced in the summer, which is also the biggest dilemma of the small clubs, that is, the players who performed well last season have joined bigger teams, and they have to sell the stars of the team, Karlsruhe last season's core central defender Ejiman and main midfielder Hajnaul moved to Hannover 96 and Borussia Dortmund respectively. The sale of the two main players in Karlsruhe received 2.7 million euros.
With this money, Karlsruhe spent 1.2 million euros to buy Brazilian striker Dasilva from Stuttgart. In order to make up for the vacancy of the central defender after Ejman's departure, coach Baker signed free agent Sebastian and spent 300,000 euros to buy the l9-year-old Selozi from Bayern Munich.
This level of transfer is not worth mentioning for Hoffenheim, but a team like Karlsruhe can only rely on such a transfer to maintain its operation, unfortunately they have never met a super-value genius like Li Huan again, and they can only watch helplessly and enviously as Li Huan led Hoffenheim to kill all sides and create one miracle after another.
Li Huan can't do anything about the situation of his old club, competitive football is like this, it is even more cruel than human society, following the law of the jungle of the jungle, the fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated. Unless he has as much money as Hope to buy the club.
After two seasons of changes in Karlsruhe, there are still many friends of Li Huan, but Capalani and Martins, who are best friends with Li Huan, have left, and only Federico is still there. Before the game, Federico and him passed the phone, of course, not to ask Li Huan to be accommodating, playing match-fixing, the Germans are different from China, they are very strict and very rule-abiding, this situation generally does not happen, Federico invited Li Huan to have a drink together after the game, the two are rival teams, after Li Huan arrived at Karjin Ruhe, it will be difficult to meet again if he does not finish the game.
The two also talked about Capalani and Martins on the phone, Capalani's red and white Allen in the Bundesliga, Martins went to Toulouse, the middle and lower reaches of the French league, both of them were unhappy, Federico has been in poor shape since returning to Karl Ruhe from Dortmund, and now he can't sit firmly in the main position, but now Li Huan has not only become the world footballer, but also led Hoffenheim to win the Bundesliga championship, and now he has reached the Champions League semifinals, Federico is embarrassed to talk about.
On the morning of April 18th, Hoffenheim came to Karlsruhe, Li Huan's arrival attracted thousands of Karlsruhe fans, the last time the two teams played at the Karl Benz Stadium, Li Huan had not yet become the world footballer, and now he has become the world's first person, which makes Karlsruhe fans also feel honored.
The media in Karlsruhe also used the very prominent headline $World Footballer Comes Home to express their welcome to Li Huan. The reporter did not think much about Karlsruhe's current situation, mainly recalling the glory that Li Huan brought to Karlsruhe back then, regretting Li Huan's injury back then, and the reporter thought that if Li Huan was not a cruciate ligament strain, maybe he would be able to bring one to Karlsruhe. Champions, and even European champions.
Hoffenheim FC also knew about the relationship between Li Huan and Karlsruhe, and Rangnick and Schendelmeizer did not prevent Li Huan from being interviewed by local reporters.
After going to Wilder Park to adapt to the field training, Li Huan was interviewed by a reporter from the local Karlsruhe Morning Post. In the interview, Li Huan talked about the good time spent in Karlsruhe and expressed his gratitude to the Karlsruhe club and fans. It is also hoped that Karlsruhe can perform miracles in the final rounds and stay in the Bundesliga.

Such a slogan, which was originally a very tragic derby, was more warm because of Li Huan.
But after the start of the game, this warmth is no longer there, Karlsruhe has now reached the most dangerous time, even a point, they are very urgent, after all, with Hoffenheim's current strength, it is not easy to get a point from them, Karlsruhe can get a point, which is equivalent to one more point than other relegation opponents.
Hoffenheim are now playing on three fronts, with a German Cup semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek, and he doesn't want to fight Karlsruhe, they just want to win the game with minimal energy.
With the current mentality and game style of the two teams, Karlsruhe still has hope of grabbing a point, but Karlsruhe's loss for so long has already worn out his confidence and patience, not to mention Hoffenheim, but also with the German B team where Li Huan was back then.
The game was less than ten minutes into play, the veteran Vanney and Arshacht cooperated, Vanney passed to Arshavin in the middle, the latter took the ball with his back and knocked on the right side, Vanney regained the ball and shook Mutzel with his heel, and then hit the bottom left corner of the goal with a left-footed curling ball in the arc of the penalty area, 1-0
Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal was a huge demoralisation blow to Karlsruhe, who didn't breathe for 10 minutes.
Hoffenheim, who hoped for a quick decision, was more aggressive after the goal, and five minutes later, Eduardo sent a delicate through pass from the middle, and Saviola burst into the right side of the penalty area at high speed against offside, facing goalkeeper Miller with the outside of his right foot and shot the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, 2:0
After Hoffenheim scored two goals, Karlsruhe instead let go of his mentality, actively scramble, and attacked with a simple long pass and hanging tactic, and the 1.94-meter-tall Australian center Kennedy caused a lot of trouble for Hoffenheim's defense.
In the first minute, Stindl's header headed into the penalty area, Freis's ball was stopped on the edge of the penalty area and was destroyed by Compaq, the ball fell to Federico's feet, and Federico curled a left-footed ball into the left side of the goal from 16 meters out in the middle, making the score 2:l
Federico's goal inspired the players and fans of Karlsruhe, who seemed to see the same imposing Federico of the Bundesliga again, and Karlsruhe launched a fierce attack on Hoffenheim.
But at this time, Hoffenheim's deadly counterattack in the Champions League appeared again, Gustavo distributed the ball to the right side in the middle circle, Li Huan used his superhuman speed to quickly cross the bottom, and Vanney jumped to the top of the small penalty area to break the goal, rewriting the score to 3-l
Karlsruhe saw hope of an equaliser at the start of the second half, when Hoffenheim defender Gustavo fouled Cherozzi and then pushed Cherozzi to the ground in protest, only to receive a second yellow card and be ejected. Then, Eichner crossed from the left side of the field, Stindl stopped the ball in front of the penalty area and hit a right-footed volley from 18 meters away, Hildebrand couldn't reach the whip, and the ball flew into the right side of the goal, turning the score into 3:2.
However, Li Huan is both the lucky star of Karlsruhe and the disaster star of Karlsruhe, and before the celebration of Karlsruhe has fallen, Li Huan hit the left side of Karlsruhe's penalty area at high speed, and a wonderful arc ball broke through the ten fingers of his former teammate Miller. Again extended the score to a two-goal gap. He also scored his worst goal of the season.
Li Huan didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, but walked back silently, but the more than 30,000 fans at the scene gave Li Huan a warm applause.
The on-site commentator said affectionately, "A year later, Li Huan scored a goal in the Safari Park again, but unfortunately this time he scored the goal of Karlsruhe, which made all Hoffenheim fans feel sad, Li Huan did not celebrate, this Chinese defender who valued his affection, he used his sick body to exchange for nine million in Karlsruhe, helping Karlsruhe to get through the difficulties, and it was also with that money that Karlsruhe rushed to the Bundesliga, Is he going to send Karlsruhe back to the Bundesliga with his own hands now?
Karlsruhe's head coach Becker stood on the sidelines, his heart fluctuated, he couldn't help himself, if he lost, Karlsruhe would be in danger, eight consecutive rounds without a win, counting this round of nine rounds, but without controlling Gu Huan, victory is an impossible task for Karlsruhe.
Becker let the fast player Yashvili mark Li Huan and continued to attack Hoffenheim, but Hoffenheim, who was one less man, did not reduce the threat in the counterattack. Then Li Huan scored a goal in a row with a counterattack, completed an assist, and locked the score at 520
Li Huan's two shots and two passes helped Hoffenheim win, because of Wolfsburg's defeat, Hoffenheim widened the gap with second place to 13 points, and with six rounds of the league remaining, Hoffenheim basically won the championship. And Karlsruhe was also helplessly pushed by Li Huan on the road to the Bundesliga, and was finally relegated at the end of the season. ∫To be continued,!
