The debut of the new season made Hoffenheim's players very excited, and the young people rubbed their fists one by one, hoping to start the game, especially the newcomers who had just joined, they all thought that Rangnick's TV speech was a smoke bomb, the first game of the new season, as a promoted horse is a good time to boost morale, how can you use the substitute to play, isn't this self-destructive future? Before the team's starting line-ups were announced, Nitsdam, Compaq, Ibertsberg and Gustavo stood together and whispered about who was most likely to get the starting spot.

Eduardo, who was standing not far from them, saw the nervous looks of the four people and said, "What are you worried about, I dare to guarantee that all four of you will start." ”

"I'm the least likely, right?" ”

Gustavo was the last to join, and he couldn't believe it, saying, "Carlos, you can't lie to us, right?" I was still very unfamiliar with my team-mates, and Coach Marco talked to me yesterday. ”

Weiss said: "Coach Marco? He is looking for someone to talk to, but there is no problem with the rustiness of cooperation, doesn't he just need to be on the field to exercise? Maybe I'll get a chance to play. ”

Eduardo said: "I'm afraid Li Huan and I have no hope." ”

"Exercising with the German Cup?" Compaq incredulously. "There's no way Coach Rangnick could do that."

Demba Ba said stupidly: "How is it impossible, last season, we were three goals behind Eintracht Frankfurt away, if it wasn't for Li Huan secretly replacing himself on the field, how could we win the German Cup." "Demba Ba is a very competitive guy who wants to win any title, and he is not very satisfied with Rangnick's arrangement to abandon the German Cup.

Li Huan and Sarihovic have been lying on the lawn, listening to the discussion of several of them, and said: "Guess what, the list will be announced in a while, tell you, the Bundesliga is not as easy as the Bundesliga, you think about how much TV broadcast you can get in the Bundesliga, how much sponsorship the sponsor will give, everyone must be very desperate, the German Cup is a face, after eating enough, take two times every three or five to make the fans happy." ”

Li Huan is giving his teammates a vaccination, he remembers Hoffenheim's first trip to the Bundesliga, ranking first in the first half, but falling to ninth in the second half, and not even getting a place in the League Cup. Although it is now a year ahead of the original, Li Huan doesn't know what the final result will be, but the Bundesliga is definitely not easy to play, there is no doubt, after all, this Hoffenheim lineup seems to be similar to the Hoffenheim in his memory, just one more of himself.

A group of people were talking, Rangnick and the coaching staff came, everyone stopped talking, don't look at the main players all said that Rangnick will definitely give up the German Cup, but after such a long break, they still hope to be able to play, and in order to improve the viewing surname of the German Cup, this season's German Cup prize money has been nearly doubled compared to the original. Everyone wants to make a little extra money in the cup, last season's championship prize money has been handed out, and almost every main player has got a good car to drive, and there is no need to go to Mannheim without a car. This season, many of the main players still want to relive old dreams.

Zeidler's announced roster made Hoffenheim's main players sigh, and sure enough, as expected, the starting lineup was almost all substitutes and newcomers, and even two youth teams were mentioned in the squad, Streff and Baum. The main players are only a few offensive players such as Demba Ba, Obasi, Li Huan, Eduardo, etc., and the main players know that this is the two-handed preparation made by head coach Rangnick for the game. Li Huan, Demba Ba and others have the ability to quickly change the game, and if the team has a stalemate, they may get a victory after rushing up for more than ten minutes.

The original veteran players have long known such a result, and they all have indifferent expressions, without saying a word, they are already very satisfied to be able to come from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga, and no one thinks that they can be as lucky as Sarihovic, and they can still occupy the starting position after being promoted to three levels.

Only the four newcomers who have just joined are cheering, and regardless of the manager's considerations, they started the opening game of the new season, which is a very self-confidence thing, and everyone wants to play well and get a chance to start in the league.

After announcing the starting lineup, Hoffenheim had an hour group confrontation, the starting lineup was one group, the substitute lineup was another group, the substitute players were obviously not interested, playing lazy, and the players who got tomorrow's start were in high spirits, the first 20 minutes of confrontation actually played the bench lineup a 5:1, which made the head coach Rangnick very unhappy, and after the confrontation, Demba Ba, Eduardo, these players who will play on the bench tomorrow were criticized, Just because they don't start tomorrow doesn't mean they won't play, and that's the way it is, so don't go to Augsburg tomorrow. Li Huan distinguished two sentences, but was also criticized by Rangnick, seeing that Rangnick didn't even give Li Huan's face, the others didn't dare to say anything, and took out all their spirit in the following confrontation match, and beat tomorrow's starters a 3-0, so that they could understand who was the real main force.

Augsburg is only 70 kilometers away from Munich, is one of the few cities in Germany that is more than 2000 years old, the total area is similar to that of Jinan, Shandong, and it is also known as the spring city, with spring festivals and spring festivals every year. Knowing that Hoffenheim was going to play in Bavaria, Li Bing came to Augsburg to watch the game with Shen Yu and Chu Shengnan early, and the names of Hoffenheim and Li Huan last season were too loud in South Germany, even if they knew that Li Huan did not enter the starting lineup, and may not even have the opportunity to play, there were still many Chinese fans who came to Augsburg to watch the game. For Chinese fans, even if Li Huan plays for a minute, they are also happy and satisfied.

On the way to Augsburg, only the rookie players feel excited and nervous, Hoffenheim's other players are as relaxed as going to Augsburg, almost all of them are playing cards before they get to the city, until they arrive in the city, the players begin to stop entertainment and watch this thousand-year-old city known as the colorful city, for Hoffenheim's old players, Augsburg is really not an opponent, all the Bundesliga teams that met them last season, thinking only about being able to lose a few, even a draw almost dare not hope, At an event like the German Cup, they have no reason to worry.

Augsburg's fans are rich and happy, but they are not fanatical about football, they were founded eight years later than Hoffenheim, and most of the time they also wander in the regional amateur leagues, and for a time they formed a team with Schwaben in Baden-Württemberg, but in the last two years, the football atmosphere has gradually become active under the leadership of Bayern and Nuremberg in the same state. However, the German Cup match between Hoffenheim and Augsburg still attracted a large number of fans to watch the game, and the tickets for the Rosenno Stadium had long been sold out, and almost all fans wanted to see how this small team, which was nearly a hundred times smaller than them, could create such a miracle.

Augsburg has only one newspaper, the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung, which reports on Hoffenheim's visit as the most important news of recent days, and every day on the front page introduces and describes everything about Hoffenheim, so that Augsburg fans can learn more about this amazing country team. Star players such as Li Huan and Eduardo frequently appear on the pages of this newspaper.

The Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung believes that the two promoted teams will have a fierce battle in the German Cup, although this game is dominated by substitutes and bench players, but these players are ready to show their best in front of the coach and the fans, and they will definitely do their best, so the fans do not have to worry about the excitement of the game, and the league is about to start, and the managers of both sides will definitely let the main players come up to find their form. However, the Augsburg Allgemeine Zeitung did not favour the home team, because Hoffenheim was too strong and desperate last season.

The match started on the afternoon of August 5th, and with the referee's whistle, the new season of Hoffenheim kicked off. The commentator of Augsburg was introducing the starting lineups of both sides, and he was surprised: "Hoffenheim did not line up their strongest lineup, Li Huan, Eduardo, Saarihovic, Demba Ba, Obasi, Jaisler and others are all sitting on the bench, even the starting goalkeeper is a new transfer to Ötzkan, and Stref, a young player from the youth team who had an amazing performance last season, also appeared in the starters, we don't know if Coach Rangnick is too confident and doesn't take Augsburg to heart, Still didn't take the German Cup to heart. The commentator quipped: "Hoffenheim have already won the German Cup once last season, maybe they are aiming for the league title and the UEFA Cup title now." Well, Kaiserslautern may have a bigger temptation for them. However, they should consider the difficulty of the Bundesliga, which is not a decade ago. Of course, it's a good opportunity for Augsburg to perhaps break Hoffenheim's unbeaten streak, which has been unbeaten in 27 games since last season, and 31 games unbeaten with the German Cup. This is a myth created by a village team, they have only three thousand people. Warriors of Augsburg! It's time to watch you, come on, 30,000 home fans are watching you! Hoffenheim can do miracles, and so can you! Perhaps inadvertently, the myth will be shattered by you. ”
