(Thank you brothers for your support, today's fourth watch)

Hoffenheim have to fight on three fronts this season, and in the case of trying to keep the league in Europe, the German Cup is like an old and yellow abandoned woman, and it is difficult to get the attention of her husband, only the newcomer players, substitute players and players of the second team use it as a springboard for themselves to sprint to the main position.

Augsburg's strength is not strong, and the individual ability is average, even inferior to the Bundesliga opponent Hoffenheim met last season, but they have a big advantage over Hoffenheim, that is, they have been training together for a long time, even the substitute players have lived together for at least five or six years, this tacit understanding is incomparable to Hoffenheim's players.

The current Hoffenheim players on the field are divided into three groups, the old players on the bench are one group, the new players are one group, and the players of the second team are another group, and the three groups of them have little time to train together, and they don't understand each other's running lines, what they like to catch, which foot they like to shoot and catch the ball, these details are not very felt on the training ground, but they can often determine the outcome of the game on the intense and fast court, no matter which aspect of the comparison, Football matches are the best place to show that details determine success or failure.

Hoffenheim's rustiness gave Augsburg's players a chance, and less than 10 minutes into the game, Augsburg took advantage of Hoffenheim's mismatch; He continued to play short passes down the middle and found the back of the net twice in the 6th and 8th minutes.

2:0, Augsburg took the lead over Hoffenheim and made a fantastic start.

The fans had already stood and cheered twice, but when they sat down, they still couldn't believe the bright red numbers displayed on the electronic scoreboard, and in less than ten minutes, or the eighth minute to be exact, they were actually two goals ahead of Hoffenheim, and it was really the team that was unbeaten in 31 games, the magical team that beat the Bundesliga champion at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, whether Hoffenheim suddenly deteriorated, or Augsburg was so strong that it was so strong that it stood out from the crowd.

The Augsburg commentator also looked incredulous, saying: "The unthinkable happened, our fighters really did a miracle, they led by two goals in the opening eight minutes, and they haven't encountered this situation in Hoffenheim in the past two years." What fans saw was Hoffenheim taking the lead, continuing to attack after taking the lead, expanding the score, then continuing to attack, and finally sweeping the opponent. Are their undefeated records going to be broken in our hands? However, the players of Augsburg should not be careless, do not relax, Hoffenheim's strength is by no means like this in the opening minutes, they will definitely exert their strength, and on the bench, their ace players Li Huan and Eduardo are still eyeing each other. If you can score, take advantage of the opponent's strength to score a few more. ”

The Hoffenheim players on the field were a little confused, the opponent's first two sticks were too fast, no one reacted, the old players blamed the responsibility on the back Gustavo and the left back Ibetsberg, Gustavo and Ibertsberg were not convinced, although they also had mistakes, but the coordination mistakes of the back line were not only related to the two of them, every defender has problems, and even the goalkeeper has to bear some responsibility.

The newcomers were not convinced, the old man wanted to play the score, everyone wanted to prove that they were right, the players not only did not find a way to cooperate more, but intensified, and even did not do the unfamiliar cooperation, that is, they fought alone, at most they played with two or three familiar teammates.

Augsburg's confidence after a two-goal lead, the fanatical shouts of the 30,000 fans also made their spirits extremely excited, everyone played a twelve-percent skill, the defense was leaky, the attack was fast and concise, and Hoffenheim's midfield did not have Eduardo's breakthrough and Li Huan's side assist, it was difficult to open the gap in Augsburg's defense by relying on the players' individual combat and small-scale cooperation. Augsburg played with ease, and although they did not invest many troops in the attack, they were always able to keep Hoffenheim's backline busy.

The game on the pitch was inextricable, and the Hoffenheim players almost used 12 points to equalize the score, but in the coach's box, Rangnick still looked as usual, and exchanged opinions with the assistants in the coach's box from time to time, and the situation on the field obviously did not make him anxious. The players on the bench also did not feel a trace of pressure and impatience, and they also joked about their teammates on the field from time to time. Last season's success gave the players a lot of confidence and it was normal for them to play four or five goals against the Bundesliga. Falling behind by two goals is not a big problem, the bench is sitting on the main force, as long as Rangnick gives an order, replace Li Huan, Eduardo, Saarihovic, or Obasi, these people rush upwards to ensure that the opponent's seemingly perfect defense line is wide open, and it depends on who comes to defend well.

Seeing that the first half was fast approaching, Hoffenheim still failed to score their first goal of the season, and Augsburg still led 2-0. The commentator on the scene was very satisfied with the performance of the Augsburg players, and he said with a smile: "Hoffenheim has not found where the goal of Augsburg is, they still adopt a full-court pressing style of play, but their passing and receiving are very fluid, the ball is grabbed quickly, but lost faster, there is very little cooperation in the front of the Augsburg penalty area, most of the direct passes are given to the opponent's defenders, and the cross is directly obtained by the goalkeeper. We have to feel that the gap between Hoffenheim's main force and the substitute is too big, if Li Huan and Eduardo and others are present, although we can't say how the score is, but Hoffenheim will definitely not play so ugly on the field, making mistakes, falling behind by two goals, and almost no decent shots. Coach Rangnick is really a surname coach, even if he gives up the German Cup, he can't ignore the morale of the team, ball luck is equally important, when he wins, he often has a smooth foot, and the goals that he can't usually score may be scored in the game, and when he loses, he often feels that he drinks cold water and stuffs his teeth. A single breath can trigger a heart attack. Elimination from the German Cup is likely to make it difficult for players to play in the league as well. That's it for the first half, hopefully coach Rangnick will make some adjustments in the second half to make the game a little bit more exciting. ”

Hoffenheim fell behind and played badly, but the Hoffenheim fans in the stands were very competitive, although not many came. There are only a few hundred people, but their slogans are shouted very neatly, the team song has hardly stopped in half the game, even when Augsburg is scoring, the singing of Hoffenheim fans has not stopped, and the enthusiastic encouragement of the fans is also the reason why the Hoffenheim players on the field can maintain strong fighting spirit and run hard, otherwise with their unfamiliar cooperation and separate style of play, the opponent has long been the opponent to expand the lead of the score.

There were three minutes of stoppage time in the first half, Hoffenheim took advantage of Augsburg's momentary relaxation to launch a fierce attack, Ibertsberg and Stref in the middle had a successful combination, Ibertsberg finally passed a just right cross on the side, Ibiševich, who started the game, just had the space to rush up, he pressed the opponent's central defender to head the goal, such a short distance, Augsburg's goalkeeper Platins almost did not react, The Hoffenheim fans and the players on the bench stood up to cheer, but Ibisevic bounced the ball on Platins' feet.

Li Huan stretched his thumb down and said, "Great is really a decrepit person." He is the one with the most goalposts, I guess it has something to do with his name, it's actually called Vedad, aren't you competing with God for favor? God said in his heart, you are great, I will let you hit the doorpost every day to see how great you are. ”

Eduardo slammed his chair and said, "Great Mr. Goalpost." Hahaha. If it all turned into goals, he would have been the absolute main force a long time ago. ”

Demba Ba gloated and said: "The flower of love, don't laugh, this shows that the great fight is accurate." ”

When Hoffenheim took another corner, the Augsburg defenders had already concentrated and never gave the Hoffenheim striker a chance, and the midfielder Bayer cleanly cleared the ball outside the touchline.

The first half ended with both players coming off the pitch to the cheers of the fans, but the Augsburg players were smiling triumphantly, while the Hoffenheim players were full of shame, and their performance was really sorry for the enthusiastic encouragement of the fans, although they did their best.

Halftime is an opportunity for substitute players to warm up, the long-awaited Li Huan finally appeared on the field, although it was a warm-up to play the ball, but Li Huan won the applause of more than 30,000 fans, the legend of Xiao Li Feidao is not only widely spread among Chinese fans, even German fans are rarely aware of this free kick without a false guard, a German Cup can be crowded in the pulse stadium (Rosenau Stadium) or the first time, many fans came to the scene to witness Li Huan's magic skills, Li Huan also knows how to cater to the hearts of fans, when he plays the ball, he turns around and shoots seemingly casually and goes straight to the corner of the goal, which makes the fans at the scene full of infinite reverie. The Hoffenheim fans who came from afar, the Chinese fans who were not fans, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they all shouted in unison that Li Huan must play in the second half, otherwise they would withdraw from the field in protest, and Hoffenheim's undefeated reputation could not be lost in the hands of Augsburg.
