In the second round of the league, Hoffenheim faced Wolfsburg at the Karl Benz Stadium, the home stadium of Mannheim, Rangnick finally met his rival Magat, QUaNBEN, not only the same age, but also similar football concepts, they all like to play fast-paced football, both pay attention to physical training, and Magath is even more than Rangnick's practice, his players rarely have cramps and vomit that he practiced, and were called devil coaches by players, cramp flow coaches. However, compared to the academic Rangnick, Magath is more utilitarian, so his success is greater.

At first, Magath was known as a firefighting instructor, and his experience in firefighting is an inspirational blockbuster of personal heroism. Magath took over the first team at a time when Hamburg were on just six points in the league and few believed Hamburg would be relegated. Magath's arrival changed all that. He led the team through adversity and eventually accumulated points at the end of the league and finished in the league.

In the old year, Nuremberg, who were still struggling in the second division, finished bottom of the table, and they approached Magath in the hope that he could help the team relegation. Magath led the team from the bottom of the league to the third place in the league, and successfully promoted to the first division.

Magath then coached Bremen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart at the bottom of the points, and he successfully led the team to relegation and brought Stuttgart to third place.

These impressive results have made Du Du favored by the giants Bayern Munich. In the end, he achieved a positive result in Bayern Beggard, and became the first coach to defend the league and cup double in 6 seasons, and those two, the season can wrestle with Magath is the coach of Shar Rannik at almost the same time, but the academic Rangnick is no match for the reckless hero Magath after all, and the two championships failed, Rangnick created the best record of Schalke Cave but could only accept the fate of the class, and then dived to Hoffenheim who played in the amateur league in obscurity.

It can be said that Magath and Rangnick are the two most special coaches in the Bundesliga, they are both powerful in the club, with the power of the two positions of manager and manager, and can buy and sell players freely, very similar to the coaches of the Premier League, and the confrontation between them is particularly interesting.

Tildsburg daggers narrowly escaped relegation in the last place of the season, and lost 3-1 at home to the civilian team Bielefeld in the first round of the league, Magath was quite questioned, but Rangnick did not dare to despise him at all, Hoffenheim was able to beat Dortmund away in the last game not because of how good the skills of Hoffenheim's players were, but because their physical fitness far exceeded that of France and Dortmund. And his old rival Magath is also a physical maniac, and Hoffenheim will never take advantage of Wolfsburg in terms of fitness. And Hoffenheim's pressing style of play will not crush Wolfsburg. The first characteristic of Magath leading the team is that he can fight. Dare to fight. If Hoffenheim has any advantage, it is that Wolfsburg's players have not yet been polished, the transfer season is not over, they have already brought in a player, in the first German Cup game, Magath had seven newcomers in the squad, and five newcomers in the first league game, such a squad is difficult to achieve. That's why they lost at home.

After a day off for the first round of the league, Hoffenheim moved to the Karl Benz Stadium, where they had not had much time to practice after finalizing the contract with Mannheim, and they had to get used to the venue.

In practice, Rangnick deliberately strengthened the offensive and defensive drills on the two wings, Magath once said: the goal is in the middle, but the attack does not have to be launched from the middle, either from the left or right, or the other way around. Attacking from the flanks has always been Magath's favourite. He has also promoted a lot of full-backs, with Lahm and Hinkel being the best examples. Although Wolfsburg lost the first league game, the two fullbacks Ritter and Shafir's performance was very good, just because the two central defenders were too rubbish and did not cooperate tacitly, they were scored three goals, and the goal to save face was also scored by Radu after the cross of Ritter and Dzeko on the right side.

For Li Huan's side, Rangnick was very relieved. Shafir played against Li Huan when he was jumping in Munich, and Rangnick remembers that Li Huan scored a hat-trick at that time, when he was still Schalke's head coach, and it was because of this hat that he got to know the Chinese defender, two years later. He believed that Li Huan would never suffer against Shafair again.

But on his right side, Rangnick does not have much confidence, the battle between Ibertsberg and Ritter is still difficult to say who can have the upper hand, Li Huan's hat trick in the first round, Magath will never play on Li Huan's side of the idea of Jian Shutan fine concave said that the different body clams, reading well will definitely aim the target of the attack on the left side of the Ibertsberg. Ibertsberg, who has never been tested too much, will definitely not be under pressure in this game

Hoffenheim's coaching staff suggested that Rangnick should have two men at the back, with the excellent Gustavo and captain Tebel partnered, one in the middle to deal with Marcelinho in Wolfsburg, and the other to support Ibetsberg. However, Rangnick rejected this suggestion, believing that for the first time at Karl Benz, his team should use a beautiful attack to attract fans in the stadium, rather than scare the fans away with ugly defense, and now Hoffenheim is famous in Germany and even Europe not only because he is a hillbilly from a village of 3,000 people, but also because of their crazy attacking style. What would Mannheim fans feel when they come to the stadium and see a team completely different from what they imagined.

And Rangnick believes that the current Wolfsburg is still in the run-in, not only the back line is not tacit, but their midfielders and forwards also have this problem, Hoffenheim after half a season of run-in in the German Second Division, now the players are skillful and confident, and they have every chance to kill Wolfsburg with attack. It's not a risk. Since Bielefeld can kill Wolfsburg in the wolf's den, can't they eat this hungry wolf that has left their home?

The people of Wolfsburg have both envy and contempt for the now triumphant Hoffenheim, which is also the common mentality of other fans in the Bundesliga, like an upstart suddenly breaking into a banquet between the giants. The aristocracy looked down on the vulgarity of the nouveau riche, but felt inferior and jealous of the nouveau riche for their extravagance, and this ambivalence led to contradictions between the top and bottom of Wolfsburg in their pre-match conversations.

Magath showed respect to Rangnick before the game. He thinks there are not many teams in Germany like Rangnick who have started from the amateur team to live up to their ideals, Rangnick has shown a high level of coaching, and now it's time for him to reap the rewards, Hoffenheim now have a group of good players, and they don't need to worry about relegation at all.

Magath also made a point to point out Li Huan, he said. This Chinese is special, as a defender with so many goals is beyond everyone's expectations, he is one of Wolfsburg's biggest threats, but he believes Shafael will learn from the lessons of the Munich jump and limit Li Huan.

And Wolfsburg's chairman, Volkswagen's chief financial adviser Pecch is not optimistic about this rural team, "Hoffenheim have achieved amazing results in the past two years, but the foundation will be a huge obstacle for them to continue to create miracles in the Bundesliga, and if they encounter difficulties, they may collapse." Rangnick is a good coach. But his team is always used to dropping the chain in the second half. There is more courage than tenacity, and I am worried that the Hoffenheim miracle will not last. ”

Wolfsburg's biggest player now is naturally Marcelinho, who was a god at his peak against Lingeta, and even now that he is a few players in the Bundesliga who is creative and misses. The character player was dismissive of Hoffenheim's performance, saying: "Hoffenheim play very poor football, but they are not technical, they are too mechanical, they are not creative, they can't compare to Brazilian football, and this game will show them that football is not won by running alone." ”

In the face of the conversation between Wolfsburg chairman Porch and Wolves king Marcelinho, Hoffenheim player Demba Ba, who was excited, unceremoniously shot back, "Porch is still worried about how his team will be relegated, whether we can create a miracle or not they don't need to worry, all Bundesliga teams want us to be relegated, think that we don't deserve to play with them, think that we are in this position is a humiliation for them." But we're going to humiliate them, and we're going to sit in this position as long as we can. ”

Gustavo, who will play opposite his predecessor Marcelinho in this game, gave a different opinion on Marcelinho's talk, saying: "Marcelinho has won glory for Brazilian players in the Bundesliga. He's a superstar but he obviously doesn't know us well enough, our football is not mechanical, we have players who are just as creative as him, Eduardo, Saarihovic, Li Huan all have great individual skills, and I'm sure he'll see what our football is like in this game. ”

And Li Huan, who has always been known for his unscrupulous speech, did not disappoint the media this time, he and his teammates said in an interview with German TV 2 Holrendel, "Losers are not qualified to comment on others, let them come, we are waiting for them." ”，！
