After Coach Rangnick's phrase "bloody scalp" was made public by the media, it caused a great response. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 There are those who think that Hoffenheim is too arrogant, Rangnick's words are too bloody, and there are also calls for the Football Association to control the rhetoric of its coaches, which will frighten children, who are a very important audience for football.

Others cheered for Hoffenheim. I think that as a weak person and challenge the strong, you should have such courage. If Rangnick showed weakness before the game, then this match will be sorry for the attention of so many spectators across the country.

Although the protagonists are Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich, the whole of Germany, and even half of Europe, is watching this game and going crazy for this game.

Bayern Munich's players and former stars, as well as celebrities, have come forward to give their opinions on the game, with Kahn and Effenberg both fanciing Bayern Munich to beat Hoffenheim comfortably at the weekend.

Hoffenheim don't have any retired celebrities to speak for them, but they have won some support. What is commendable is that many of them are their former opponents.

Bayern have failed to win at home three times this season: a 2-2 draw with Hamburg, a 2-5 defeat to Bremen and a 3-3 draw with Bochum. Before the game, these three teams also gave Hoffenheim a boost.

Hamburg have not lost two of their four league games since the opening of the Allianz Arena in 2005, with Czech midfielder Jarolim (david_jarolim) saying the secret is not to lose courage and not to panic when they are two goals down in the first round of the season. He also advised Hoffenheim to do everything he could to limit Ribery's play, "When he really kicks in, it's going to be a big problem." ”

In the ninth round of the league, Hamburg lost 0:4 away to Hoffenheim, but now they are no longer opponents, but comrades in a trench. In Germany, most teams see Bayern Munich as a common enemy, and this is of course because Bayern Munich is too strong. Someone who can beat Bayern Munich will surely be cheered and praised by the other teams.

Bremen suffered a narrow 5-4 win at home to Hoffenheim, whose attacking prowess impressed Bremen president Alofs (klaus_allofs). "Hopefully they can stick to that style in Munich and it will bring them success." He said this in an interview with the media.

And Bochum as a representative of the weak team, coach Marcel. Kohler's (marcel_koller) point of view is to defend well first, and secondly, the players support each other on the pitch, "Hoffenheim will definitely do both, they will not change their characteristics. ”

These are just outsiders' opinions, Hoffenheim have their own ideas.

With so many teams under pressure to want Hoffenheim to win, Bayern players have had to stand up and show their attitude.

"Little Pig" Schweinsteiger talked about Chu Zhongtian's words at the press conference in an interview with reporters, and he agreed: "It's true, if we lose, the whole of Germany will laugh at us." There's nothing to say, we're going to win. Even if it is a draw, Hoffenheim is still a hero for Germany. But if we win, nothing will happen. ”

What he said was the truth. The whole of Germany is watching this game, or more closely, the whole of Germany is looking forward to Hoffenheim's victory over Bayern Munich. Because Bayern Munich has dominated the Bundesliga for a long time, and they are used to poaching the leading stars of other Bundesliga teams by all means, this kind of poaching has long aroused the public anger of the Bundesliga team, so they are always happy to see Bayern Munich unlucky.

For Bayern Munich's players, losing the winter break title was no big deal, but losing to Hoffenheim was a shame and a shame at home.

It's a huge pressure on all the players at Bayern, with perhaps Ribery being the exception.

At the press conference, he was asked by reporters if he knew where Hoffenheim was, and he still had the heart to joke: "Hoffenheim? On Mars? Then he said: "Just kidding, of course I know Hoffenheim." Actually, I went there when I was playing in Metz, but now even if you give me a map, I may not be able to find it accurately. ”

"Chu and Ibisevic are your teammates in Metz......"

"Yes, we know each other very well. I know them very well and I believe they know me too. I look forward to this reunion. ”

"So did you use your familiarity with them to give Chrisman some help?" A reporter asked.

Ribery smirked: "It's a secret, you can't say it." ”

In fact, Ribery did use his knowledge of Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic to give Klinsmann some advice. When he made a move, he was not polite at all, and told Chrisman that if he wanted to contain Chu Zhongtian, he had to keep a strict eye on him, and he must not relax for a second. As for Ibisevic...... As long as Chu Zhongtian is contained, Ibisevic will lose his threat.

Journalists went to ask the other Bayern players where Hoffenheim was. Hoffenheim is so small, and the media like to play it, as if it shows more about how inconspicuous Hoffenheim is, and it makes more sense that such an unremarkable team can be at the top of the league table.

When Ram was asked this question, he was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, thought for a while, and said to the reporter very seriously: "Well, that...... Approximately in the direction of Stuttgart, right? ”

Well, although the village of Ho is in Baden-Württemberg with Stu, it is closer to Mannheim...... The conversation turned to the most noteworthy person in the Hoffenheim team, with the most mentioned name by journalists being Ibisevic, the Bosnian striker who scored 18 goals in 15 rounds and is currently in the limelight.

Ram was a little tired of always talking about how Hoffenheim was. "We have to play our way so that we dominate the game and we will show who it takes to be at the top of the Bundesliga," he said. We've improved a lot since the start of the tournament and of course we're going to be even better in the second half of the league and if we can do that, the Bundesliga title will definitely belong to Bayern! ”

The star of Bayern Munich said this domineeringly, this is the temperament of the giant Bayern Munich.

※※※ The hype about the match between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich continues, and it will intensify as the game approaches. Inside, however, there is still a lot of calm, at least for now.

Today is Thursday, the 4th of December. There was a day left before the start of the game, and after the day's training, the players did not drive home, they had to wait here, prepare for a short drive to Munich, where they would rest for the night and then go into the game.

All the players who had showered and changed their clothes walked out of the training ground and went to a restaurant next to the training ground, which was a stronghold for the Hoffenheim players. Before an away game, players like to buy a newspaper to read, buy a drink and read the newspaper while drinking, or chat with other teammates and wait to get on the bus. Why did you choose this location because the restaurant is next to a petrol station where the team's buses stop to refuel and wait for the players to board the bus. In addition, the restaurant was once owned by the team's owner, Dietma. The place where Mr. Hope grew up is also of special significance to Hoffenheim.

Today was no exception, and even though the next day was due to the game against Bayern Munich, the players rushed to the restaurant after training to order a drink, or pizza, barbecue, salad or something to fill their hungry stomachs due to the intensity of training.

When Chu Zhongtian entered the cafeteria, almost all the players of the team arrived. He said hello to a few people at the door, walked straight to the bar, asked for a juice drink, and sat down next to Ibisevic.

Ibisevic was reading the newspaper, and Chu Zhongtian caught a glimpse of Ibby's large photo in the newspaper at a glance.

"Now all of Germany is talking about you, Ibi. You'll have to be careful, they'll be on your guard during the game. ”

Ibisevic put down the newspaper and smiled at Chu Zhongtian: "I think it's you who should be careful, Chu." Fools know that as long as I freeze you, I won't be able to score. ”

Chu Zhongtian shrugged: "Is there any new news in the newspaper?" ”

Ibisevic shook his head: "It's still the same way, everyone spits on each other through reporters." ”

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "Ha! Bayern Munich is afraid of us. ”

For Chu Zhongtian's words, Ibishevich was deeply touched. He had a similar exchange with Chu Zhongtian before the match against Borussia Dortmund, when the Dortmund fans kept insulting the Hoffenheim players, and he felt angry, but Chu Zhongtian told him that if your opponent attacks you wildly, it means that they are afraid of you because you make them feel threatened.

So he laughed along. "That's right, they're afraid of us!"

Everyone was talking about the game against Bayern Munich, everyone had an excited look on their faces, and no one was scared or uneasy. It's as if they're not going to challenge an invincible giant, but just a visit to a relative's house.

"Hey, Victor. What do you do to celebrate when you score a goal? Eduardo chewed on the roast in his mouth and leaned over to ask Ibshevic. "Vido" is the nickname of Ibisevic's name "Vedad", and everyone except Chu Zhongtian calls him that. Chu Zhongtian was originally called Chu Zhongtian by the name "Ibi", which is more in line with the habits of Chinese, when he was in Mace, and Ibisevic himself did not reject either name, and liked Chu Zhongtian's "Ibi" even more.

Everyone thought Ibisevic could still score and be able to score against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. It's just a question of going into one or two, three.

Ibshevich put his right index finger to his lips: "I'm going to shut them all up!" ”

"Hahaha! Well done, Ibi! His teammates burst out laughing.

"Then I'll have to create such an opportunity for you." Salihovich said with a smile.

"Hey! We want it too! "Demba. Ba and Obasi stood up and waved.

"Okay, one for each of you...... Don't argue. Chu Zhongtian comforted them.

The laughter was louder.

The waiters in the restaurant looked at the group of young players. They know very well what kind of team Bayern Munich is, and it is really arrogant and bold that Hoffenheim's players have started to distribute goals before the game...... However, as Hoffenheim fans, they like this Hoffenheim very much - I am afraid that we Hoffenheim are the only ones who dare to treat Bayern Munich like this! This made them feel very proud of the Hoffenheimers.

One team laughed and talked in the cafeteria for a while, and then a coach came to remind them that it was time to get on the bus.

Once on board, the bus left the petrol station and quickly drove out of tiny Hoffenheim, then made a turn towards the throne of German football.

David the Brave embarks on a journey to challenge the giant Goliath, and even he doesn't know what the future holds.

In the car, Chu Zhongtian received a call from Ribery, and as soon as he returned home from training, he called Chu Zhongtian and asked him if he had set off.

Chu Zhongtian said arrogantly on the other end of the phone: "You wash up and lie on the bed and wait, Frank!" ”

When Hoffenheim arrived in Munich it was half past six in the afternoon, and it was already dark. The streets were a bit deserted, and the team didn't go to the Allianz Arena for acclimatisation, they only had one chance to acclimatize, and that was an hour before the game started.

The team's bus drove straight to the hotel where they were staying.

There, dozens of journalists have been waiting for a long time. When their bus arrived at the hotel, the frenzied reporters almost made it impossible for the players to get off the bus.

Rangnick was surrounded by reporters asking him to talk about his "bloody scalp", and Ibisevic was surrounded by reporters who were most concerned about whether the super goalscorer would continue his excellent form against Bayern Munich and continue to score goals. Most of Chu Zhongtian is surrounded by Chinese reporters, Bayern has a special position in the hearts of Chinese fans, there are many German football fans in China, and a large part of these German fans are Bayern Munich fans, now Hoffenheim, who has Chinese players, and Bayern Munich, which has a large number of German fans, are about to meet, this is a very good gimmick, how can they let it go easily?

However, compared to Bayern, Hoffenheim still has a gap, which can be seen from the relationship between them and the media. Almost every player at Bayern Munich is a star sought after by the media, and on Hoffenheim's side, except for head coach Rangnick, and Ibisevic, Chu Zhongtian, and Salihovic, other players are not interested.

So after these people were surrounded by reporters, the teammates behind them got out of the car and entered the hotel very calmly, and then stood inside and pointed out the teammates who were still surrounded, and laughed a little gloatingly.

It was only after finally getting rid of the pestering of the reporters that the team settled down.

After dinner, Rangnick gathered everyone together, and in the conference room provided by the hotel, Rangnick showed everyone a video and gave a tactical lesson.

The footage was compiled by the club's analyst Cornetka, and many of the nonsensical parts were removed, and the condensed content was more concise and direct.

Rangnick combined the video footage of Bayern Munich's game to set up the tactics. This makes it easier for the players to understand the tactics, and it is much more effective than empty words.

Ribery appears in the footage several times, and Rangnick keeps mentioning Ribery.

'Ribery has scored in almost every game, scoring six goals and providing two assists in ten appearances this season. He averaged one hundred and two touches per game, the most in the Bundesliga. Rangnick gives the players a detailed analysis and introduction to Bayern Munich's number one star.

Chu Zhongtian averaged 87 touches per game in the Bundesliga, which is related to Rangnick's tactical requirements, and if it was in Metz, he could easily touch the ball to 100.

"He also has an 85 per cent pass completion rate, a 21 per cent cross completion rate and a 17 per cent corner accuracy." These numbers speak for themselves, but he is not without his weaknesses.

"But in one-on-one confrontations, Ribery's success rate is 50 percent, which is not as high as Eduardo." Rangnick pointed at Eduardo, and the Brazilian puffed up his chest with a smug expression.

"We all know that as long as we contain Ribery, it is equivalent to choking Bayern's throat!" Since Rangnick communicated with Chu Zhongtian, his tone and words have become more and more aggressive when mentioning Bayern. But he's done so very well with the players, who just like to see their usually suave manager, and now they're gritting their teeth.

"So I put Chu in the right midfield position and let him defend Ribery." Rangnick finally said the official reason why he let Chu Zhongtian play right midfield, although everyone guessed about it.

Ribery played left midfielder at Bayern, just opposite Chu Zhongtian.

It's a fun idea to juxtapose two people who know each other well.

Chu Zhongtian was also very excited after hearing Rangnick's idea at the beginning. He never told Ribery on the phone that he wanted to surprise him and Bayern at the game – of course, they wouldn't like it.

Rangnick continued: "Defending Ribery is a simple requirement – you and Baker have to run frantically at all costs during the game. You have the most difficult task because you don't just have to defend Ribery, you have to attack, so you have to keep sprinting back and forth. It's a big test of your physical fitness, but I hope you can withstand it. ”

"No problem." Chu Zhongtian replied. Fitness? He's not afraid of anyone, and it's a good opportunity for him to play to his strengths.

And Baker nodded in agreement: "I will try." "His stamina is also good. It's not for nothing that Rangnick specifically picked the two of them.

"By guarding Ribery, we're stopping their attack, and then we're going to get the most out of our characteristics." Rangnick continued. 'We're fast, that's our strength, and we have to drag Bayern Munich into that fast-paced pace. Bayern are already fast, but we're going to make them faster! Remember, fast is the key word for our game, defend fast, attack fast, be so fast from the start of the game, let Bayern Munich breathe! ”

No team has dared to be so presumptuous at the Allianz Arena, but Hoffenheim wanted to try what it was like to go wild on the turf of the Bundesliga giants.
