Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 335 The Knockout Tournament has begun
! Borussia Mönchenglad is like a bottle opener, and the Hoffenheim players drink it to their heart's content.
Less than five minutes before the first goal, Arshavin and Li Huan played a wonderful cooperation, the two crossed and changed positions on the side, cut to the middle, Marin chased closely, Arshavin wanted to shake Marin away with a feint, but the ground was too slippery, Arshavin's feint was halfway done, and he slipped to the ground, but Marin was shaken even more and lay on his back on the ground.
Li Huan reacted very quickly, grabbed the ball and stabbed it to the right, so that the Menxing defender made a save, Li Huan walked two feet in a row, the speed was not fast, but every time the opponent's top snatch was empty, and because of the venue, the Mönchen defender could not quickly adjust to do the second action after making the first move.
When Li Huan came from the left to the right, there was no one to follow and intercept, Li Huan looked at the space, raised his foot and shot hard, and the ball broke through the door of Borussia Mönchengladbach again.
Goalkeeper Jamerot struggled to make the save. But it was too late, and letting Li Huan kick up in that area was basically sentenced to death, which is not much different from a free kick.
The venue was really bad, Li Huan exerted too much force, fell to the ground in a circle, and Li Huan got up before he was pressed under Eduardo, Demba Ba, Fanny and others.
The stands once again resounded with the cheers of Hoffenheim fans, "Li Huan! Li Huan! Old streak! To hell with Bayern's record! ”
Assistant coaches Marko and Zeidler pounced on Rangnick to hug, but their feet slipped, and all three fell into the snow. However, they did not care about the slush staining the expensive suit, the joy has filled their hearts, the dent, the victory is decided, after breaking the single-season goal record of Bayern striker Muller, they have broken Bayern's winning streak again, and the Bundesliga will be etched with the Hoffenheim name for a long time to come.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's head coach Meyer looked helpless, frustrated, all the tactical arrangements could not block the opponent's genius blow, they used the field and tactics to limit Hoffenheim's thumb minutes, because the gap in strength was too obvious, the opponent's unremitting attack finally achieved the goal, Li Huan's personal performance made the entire back line helpless. At this moment, Meyer only had one sentence in his heart, "Why don't we have money?"
After Li Huan's goal, the game was more open, and in the 83rd minute, Arshavin's through ball gave Demba Ba a chance to face the goalkeeper, and Demba Ba did not waste it, he easily pushed into the far corner and scored the goal that sealed the victory.
The game was over, and Hoffenheim completed their first consecutive win of the season, breaking Bayern's record for consecutive wins per game and continuing to lead the Bundesliga standings.
After the game, the German media said that the strongest Bundesliga team in history was born.
"Rheinneckar" said, "three years of triple jump, defender goalscorer king, promoted horse to become the treble, Li Huan was elected the first footballer, swept all Bundesliga records, Hoffenheim was born to create miracles, they have created countless records, but their pace of creating miracles will not stop, if Hoffenheim becomes the treble again this season, please fans and reporters do not be surprised, Hoffenheim is synonymous with miracles."
"The darkest days of the Bundesliga have arrived, and Hoffenheim's dominance of the Bundesliga is even more desperate than Bayern's, and they have no hope of a title." After two games in the middle of the league, there is no suspense about the Bundesliga title. It's a sad thing. ”
"Bild" believes that Hoffenheim is the strongest club in the history of the Bundesliga, even Bayern, who won the Champions League in a fierce year, is not as strong as the current Hoffen Kraken, "Bild" reporter said that Hoffenheim can now focus on the Champions League, and they have the ability and obligation to win the long-lost Champions League for the Bundesliga.
After breaking Bayern's winning streak, Hoffenheim's progress continued as they beat Bayer Leverkusen three at home in the first round, rewriting Inter's European record for consecutive wins last season. However, what fans and reporters praised after the game was not Hoffenheim's European winning streak, but the lace incident off the field.
Hoffenheim's match against Bayer Leverkusen coincided with Valentine's Day on February 14, and it was only natural that the lovers of Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim's players would come to the stadium to cheer on their lovers. It is said that the beauty of the day was like a cloud, dazzling the eyes of the fans, and what shocked the fans even more was that the Hollywood star Stewart, who was red and purple, also came to the scene, and there was also the German giant Diane by her side. Kruger, the little French diva Alijie. These beauties make it difficult for even the most die-hard fans to choose between watching the ball or watching the beauties.
Of course, these are not the most surprising to the fans, after the game, the reporter of the "Sun" broke a small scandal, saying that there were at least 7 beauties waiting for the World Footballer at the door of the new stadium that day, including Stewart, but the World Footballer was so frightened that he slipped away from the back door, and the "Sun" did not dare to confirm which beauty was Li Huan's lover, the only thing that can be determined is that these beauties have an ambiguous relationship with Li Huan.
At first, the lovers of the World Footballer were just a hot topic in European and world football. But because Li Huan's lover also involved movie stars such as Stewart, Kruger and Elliejie, Li Huan's name slowly appeared in entertainment news, and the British media praised Li Huan as Beckham's second.
As Li Huan's influence grows greater, he is followed by tabloid reporters and reporters in and out, and there is less and less private space, but the advantage is that his gold absorption has increased greatly, and he has become the star with the highest endorsement fee in the world, and the income from advertising fees alone exceeds 30 million euros per year.
Hoffenheim club also stained Li Huan a lot of light, due to Li Huan's huge influence, the club's sponsorship fees, advertising costs, friendly match appearance fees are increasing day by day, when Li Huan won the World Footballer, Li Huan's jersey sales reached 7,000 pieces per day, and after the game with Letzkusen, Li Huan's jersey sales reached 10,000 pieces per day, calculated in euros per piece, will earn more than 100 million euros for Hoffenheim every year. In order to protect his God of Wealth, Hoffenheim also specially invited two retired special forces to be bodyguards for Li Huan.
In the first round of the league, Hoffenheim challenged Stuttgart away. The Baden-Württemberg derby is considered a blocking battle to end the winning streak of Etherea Heim. Previously, Hoffenheim won consecutive rounds. Both the fans, the fans and the bookmakers think that Hoffenheim should lose.
In the game, Hoffenheim did suffer from Stuttgart's stubborn counterattack, but in the end Hoffenheim still beat Stuttgart 1-0, and Li Huan scored the only goal. It was Hoffenheim's first consecutive league win and their first in a flying streak including the Champions League and German Cup.
After the Baden derby, Hoffenheim began to prepare for the Champions League knockout match away to Villarreal, and with no worries about the league, Hoffenheim put all their energy into the Champions League.
Their title rivals Villarreal are by no means soft persimmons, having not conceded a goal in four consecutive Champions League games, including two against defending champions Manchester United.
This is not the first time that the Yellow Submarine have made it to the knockout stages of the Champions League. In the injured season, Villarreal, who landed in the Champions League for the first time, showed his true colors as a dark horse, and went all the way to the semi-finals after eliminating Serie A giants such as Inter Milan. Three seasons have passed. The Yellow Submarine is no longer an obscure team, and under Pellegrini's careful tutelage, the team has grown into a powerhouse that no team in Europe dares to underestimate.
If Hoffenheim is a legend and a miracle, then Villarreal caused a sensation in the European arena that year is no less than Hoffenheim's thumb, as a town of only 40,000 people, Villarreal's results in reaching the Champions League semifinals are also comparable to Hoffenheim's League Cup champions, the only regret is that Barcelona and Real Madrid are too strong, they have no chance to win the championship.
Villarreal's manager, Manuel Pellegrini, is a maverick legend like Rangnick, a Chilean who has never played professional football and whose job is nothing to do with football.
Prior to Wu Zhu, Pellegrini had been a civil engineer. It wasn't until this year that Chile suddenly became interested in football and devoted himself to coaching. Pellegrini began his coaching career with Chilean side Universidad de Chile and went on to coach Argentine giants Lorenzo and River Plate. Manuel Pellegrini landed in La Liga in the summer of last year, creating a myth that belongs to the small club Villarreal.
As early as the draw against Hoffenheim in the quarter-knockout round, the Chilean engineer said that Hoffenheim was the most suitable opponent for Villarreal and the opponent he most wanted to meet.
Before the start of this knockout match, Pellegrini was not afraid of Hoffenheim's crazy state of playing all over the Bundesliga and sweeping the Champions League, and he said in an interview with the official UEFA website: Aunt Hoffenheim has given a break, let's end Hoffenheim's crazy winning streak.
Pellegrini dared to say such big things, and he was not entirely bragging, because the original conventionally powered submarine has long been upgraded to a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine.
Li Huan is admittedly the world's No. 1 attacking right-back, but Villarreal's left-back Cap de Villa was the main force for Spain to win the European Championship last summer, and his offensive and defensive ability on the left side is enough to make Li Huan afraid and dare not act recklessly.
In the midfield, the nuclear-powered reactor of the submarine is terrifying. Senna is over the age of the midfielder. But at the peak. He was also shortlisted for this year's Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year. On both flanks, the Spanish international Cazorla and Andrea Pire, an old and young duo, complement each other perfectly. Cardoso's quick movement down the right flank was a constant for opponents. The veteran Perellian is not old, but he has more experience, and he and Capdevilla are Pellegrini's biggest reliance on Li Huan on the left flank.
On the front, the ballistics of the submarine and the fire of the torpedoes were chilling. Homegrown striker Llorente scored a hat-trick in less than half-time against Aalborg in Denmark. Former Manchester United youngster Giuseppe? Rossi is the submarine's most relied on scorer. The Italian youngster, who used to train with Dong Fangzhuo in the reserves, is at home in La Liga, and his ability to grasp the record in front of goal and run off the ball is just right to keep opponents off guard.
Hoffenheim, of course, will not show weakness, they are no longer last year's nobodies, they are not even dark horses now, they are already considered one of the five favorites to win the title, the second place in the group Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal have all said before the one-eighth draw that they do not want to touch Hoffenheim.
Facing Villarreal's challenge, Rangnick said that it doesn't matter if the winning streak can be sustained, he will be satisfied if the team can advance to the quarter-finals. At the same time, Rangnick also expressed his respect for Villarreal, "The Spanish team is intimidating in terms of technical and tactical ability, they are always able to occupy a lot of possession, even against Manchester United, Villarreal is not lagging behind, we have to be cautious about this game. We think it's very important for us to score away goals. Vanney, Demba Ba, they will let us achieve that. ”
In this game, there is still a lot of controversy within Hoffenheim, Rangnick and Marko think that they should attack, and victory or defeat is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to score away goals, a draw and a win with goals is the best result, even if it is a small loss, as long as there are away goals, it is a good choice.
Zeidler and Peters think they are the best team in the Bundesliga, but there is certainly a big gap between them and the Spanish side. Last summer's European Cup final clearly showed the huge gap between Germany and Spain, it can be said that the passing ability of the Spanish defenders is better than the German midfield, and the Spanish is definitely no better than the possession skills, Hoffenheim wants to win, must take the road of defensive counterattacks, with quick counterattacks and high shots to beat the submarine.
This kind of argument will arise almost every time he encounters a strong team, and although the vast majority of them are Rangnick's opinions, it also provides Rangnick with another way of thinking, so every time Hoffenheim encounters a defeat or setback, he will quickly correct his mistakes and get back on the right track. However, in the end, the majority of coaches and players who advocated attacking, they believed that Hoffenheim was not a German team, Villarreal was not Spain, Hoffenheim had Li Huan, Arshavin, Eduardo, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was familiar with La Liga, and was fully capable of sticking to his own style of play.
