As soon as the German Cup semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen ended, the German media went straight into Champions League time, completely ignoring Hoffenheim's away game against Hertha Berlin. If Hoffenheim wins this game and Wolfsburg and Bayern lose, Hoffenheim can win the league title five rounds early.

But now the league is no longer important, Hoffenheim even sent most of the substitute lineup in this game, Li Huan, Arshavin, Vanney and Simunich did not even go to Berlin, they stayed in Hoffenheim to rest, for Hoffenheim these people are the magic weapon of Hoffenheim and Manchester United, they must not have a little loss. The league championship is like the fruit on the tree in the yard, it definitely can't be run, and you can pick it whenever you want.

Hoffenheim's approach has upset the teams competing with Hertha Berlin for a UEFA Cup spot, with Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen both saying it would be unfair to Hoffenheim to do so. The sports correspondent for Bild quipped, "Rangnick may know Sunday's line-up, but Rangnick may only remember half of their names, and the other half of the people he remembers by name are in Ditmar in Hoffenheim." What about the Hope training base. ”

However, the president of the German FA, Zwanzig, has publicly stated that Hoffenheim has reasons to rotate the squad and he will not intervene. Speaking to Deutsche Sport 2, Zwanzig said: "You have to be realistic, Hoffenheim have a strong bench as well, so you can't question how they made the most of it for Sunday's game. One thing you can't change is the fact that they're already 13 points ahead and they have a crucial game next Thursday against Manchester United, which is about Bundesliga honours. ”

However, Chairman Zwanzig believes that Hoffenheim will not undermine fair play and will try to win. "Hope's club is the most professional professional football club. Rangnick will field a team aiming to win Sunday's game. ”

Rangnick thanked Zwanczyg for his support and expressed his displeasure with the German counterpart's claim that they were jealous of Hoffenheim's achievements, which Rangnick mentioned at his press conference with Hertha Berlin, saying, "Hoffenheim have just been promoted to the Bundesliga for a year, and a lot of people are not used to us sitting in this position, but they will get used to it soon because we have the quality and we will try to win this game no matter what kind of team we field." We are also confident that we will win, the football game is full of uncertainties, and everyone wants to hold the championship in their arms in advance. Hoffenheim have a 13-point lead and can travel lightly and give the squad a good rest, but Ferguson doesn't have that right and he's now struggling with the clash between the league and the Champions League. Of course, this is also a happy trouble, and teams like Arsenal and Liverpool don't have this opportunity to worry about it.

But no matter how happy you are, you have to worry after all, now Manchester United is now two points behind Liverpool and one point behind Chelsea with one game less, and even Arsenal has a chance to win the title, and the league competition is still extremely fierce and cruel.

But Champions League opponents are no easy ones, and Sir Alex Ferguson shuddered at the sight of being struck five goals in the Super Cup.

You can't have it both ways. But Ferguson still resolutely chose both, for Ferguson, as a club coach he can win all the championships, even the most difficult Champions League he has won two. No manager has yet to defend the Champions League and Ferguson is keen to set a record and become an immortal legend.

After playing in the league for more than half a year, Ferguson didn't want to give up, and finally Manchester United still sent the main squad in the league at Manchester United, and they also finally reversed Tottenham Hotspur 2:1, and continued to chase Liverpool with one less game, but for Manchester United, who were going to challenge Hoffenheim away, this big battle consumed too much of their physical energy and laid a hidden danger for the next game.

Hoffenheim's substitution did not make Berlin please him, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Hoffenheim defeated Hertha Berlin 4-1 away to continue to lead the Bundesliga by 13 points, and as long as they can draw at Wolfsburg in their next game, they will be able to win the Bundesliga four rounds ahead of schedule.

The Lord was taken aback by Hoffenheim's 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin and, according to a key source at Manchester United, Ferguson said: "God, are we going to face such a terrible team!" ”

In a later interview with Sky Sports, the lord admitted that he had said something like this, and the lord said: "They are a magical team, with amazing players like Li Huan. I'm happy for Rangnick and my experience has taught me that a guy who isn't very successful as a player doesn't have to be unsuccessful when he coaches. Rangnick did a great job and his team embodies his own philosophy. But they have failed, and those failures have shown that they can be defeated, and we can learn from them. ”

After the league was played, the Champions League was really put on the agenda, and the atmosphere of the big war gradually became stronger.

Manchester United is nicknamed the Red Devils, as the saying goes, the name may be wrong, but the nickname is certainly not wrong. Manchester United have a certain magic name from the coach to the players, and after reaching the top of Europe last season, the momentum is unparalleled in the world.

And their opponent Hoffenheim is an upstart, promoted three levels in a row to jump to the Bundesliga, won the treble, and then played in the Champions League, and the arrogance is also not small. How could these two teams have less saliva before the game.

The first to fire was not the leaders of the two teams, Li Huan and Ronaldo, but the 36-year-old veteran Giggs, and Hoffenheim This game will be the 800th game of Giggs's career, which is an extremely terrifying number, from the age of 18 in the top league, now known as Wang Laoji by Chinese fans, Giggs has been on the pitch for 18 years, and has maintained the same high level for 18 years, which is a miracle on the football field.

'I, Neville, Paul Scholes and Edwin van der Sar are all very old, but this season we will show again that we can help the team reach the final again and hopefully that will give us more confidence to be able to dominate European football in the coming seasons, we have established a dynasty in the domestic league and now we hope to do the same in European football.' ”

'We are the champions of England and Germany and we have done well in the Champions League, so it's a fantastic matchup and everyone is looking forward to it, including the players. We were disappointed to lose to Hoffenheim in the Super Cup, but it was a game without Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United without Ronaldo is not the best Manchester United and now that Ronaldo is back, we will definitely win this semi-final. ”

Manchester United captain Gary Neville also supported Cristiano Ronaldo, saying: "It's going to be a confrontation between two of the best players in the world. The biggest victors will be the fans, because there will be a lot of breaks, great combinations and goals. It's hard to compare who is better between the two, but I still think it's going to be Ronaldo's game. ”

And Hoffenheim's players will not show weakness before the big game, and defender Gustavo supported Li Huan before the game, saying: "Everyone will say Ronaldo because he is one of the best attackers in the world. He's fast, his feet are unbelievably fast, he can play as a winger as well as a centre-forward. If you want to deal with him, you have to focus more on teamwork rather than having one player stop him.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very good, but Li Huan is unique, I have never seen any player so great in attack and defense. Li Huan is the miracle of the planet, he is a combination of Evra and Ronaldo. If Ronaldo dares to play as a winger, I believe that Li Huan will defend against Ronaldo and score goals in this game. ”

And Vanney has no good impression of Manchester United and Ferguson, who swept him away, and said to Li Huan and Ronaldo's dispute, the king of the small penalty area: "The striker has not scored as many goals as the defender, Li Huan and Ronaldo have nothing to fight for, Ronaldo may be stronger than Li Huan in fake wrestling, Ferguson Sir should retire in 2001, and we will use the victory to send him back to Scotland to see his favorite betting horse." "Playing for Manchester United made Park Ji-sung an icon and hero in South Korea and Asia, while Li Huan led the grassroots Hoffenheim to create a myth, and the clash between the two became the focus of attention throughout Asia.

Manchester United's midfield competition is fierce, and Park Ji-sung does not have the main position of thunder like Li Huan, but Park Ji-sung is very eager to participate in this contest with Li Huan. "Nobody knows the lineup before the start of the tournament and if I can play, I will do my best," he said. Any player would want to play in a big tournament like this. I think I'll be very sad and disappointed if I can't participate. ”

Because of the relationship between China and South Korea in football, Park Ji-sung and Li Huan will inevitably have to compare together, in addition to Li Huan winning the World Footballer, Park Ji-sung does not respect Li Huan so much, and now he does not dare to compare himself with Li Huan anymore. "I'm different from Li Huan, in Asia, the fans chase me and yell at me, and when I go back to South Korea, I may not be able to go out on the streets. But in England I'm a normal player, and Li Huan, like Cristiano Ronaldo, is an idol in the whole world, and he is chased by fans everywhere. Winning the World Footballer of the Year and the European Footballer of the Year respectively speaks to their greatness. ”

For this game, Park Ji-sung undoubtedly believes that his team is the winner, "Although Hoffenheim has stars such as Li Huan, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arshavin, etc., we have more experience than them, which is quite important in the Champions League. We've got not only Cristiano Ronaldo, but Wayne Rooney, Tevez Giggs, Manchester United are all stars, everybody has the ability to decide the game and I think we'll win 1-0 away. ”
