(The second watch, ask for a monthly pass, brothers, you can't lag behind during the double period, now you are lagging behind, and you will be compensated twice later, if you have a monthly pass, please vote for it in these days.) ）

After a month of consecutive weekly double-matches, the Bundesliga has a 10-day break, but Hoffenheim still can't relax, because this is a European Championship year, and the German final has been brought forward to the league period, which is scheduled in the middle of these ten days. Hoffenheim's opponent in the final was Bayern Munich.

This is Hoffenheim's second German Cup final, while Bayern Munich have won the German Cup 13 times before, and this is the first time that the Bundesliga upstarts and old giants have met in the final, and the two teams are also the biggest rivals in the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup.

For the two teams, the meaning of the German Cup is obviously not the same, Hoffenheim is six points ahead of Bayern Munich at the end of six rounds of the league, and fully grasps the initiative to win the championship, while Bayern can only wait for Hoffenheim's mistakes to win the championship, Bayern has invested nearly 100 million this season, in order to prevent the situation of falling into a situation where the four are empty, Bayern Munich must first take a championship to stabilize the morale of the army.

In order to ensure that Bayern wins the German Cup, Bayern Club also does everything, before the game, the "Munich Evening News" revealed a news, saying that it is the heart and soul of Hoffenheim, their super defender Li Huan has a verbal agreement with Bayern, after the end of this season, Li Huan will join Bayern Munich, the transfer value is likely to set a record in the Bundesliga, the reporter laughed that Bayern adopted the best way to deal with the opponent, that is, to turn the opponent into their own.

After all, the influence of the "Munich Evening News" is still very small, and Hoffenheim FC did not pay attention to such lies, but then "Bild" and "Kicker" have given reports in this regard, and the German "Sun" and "Bild" have a nose and an eye to claim that a reporter saw Li Huan's agent Watts and Bayern's club scout Breitner walk into the Mercedes-Benz Hotel in Stuttgart together, and claim that Bayern Munich may spend 50 million euros to buy Li Huan.

"Bild" and "Kicker" are very influential newspapers in Europe, and the reports of these two media outlets shocked Hoffenheim fans, thousands of fans went to Hoffenheim's training base to ask for their real surnames, and Bayern fans and Hoffenheim fans on the Internet were even more noisy.

Hoffenheim Club saw the news and immediately came out to refute the rumors, the club's manager Schendelmaize said that they have never had any contact with Bayern, and will never sell Li Huan, Li Huan will always be Hoffenheim's non-sale, not to mention 50 million, even if Hoffenheim is given 100 million euros, Hoffenheim will not consider it. He said that if journalists dared to report such news again, they would reserve the right to prosecute.

Rangnick and Hope didn't believe that Li Huan would have private contact with Bayern at this time, but after seeing the news, they called Li Huan and Watts as soon as possible to ask what was going on.

Li Huan also just got the news from Watts, Watts did have contact with Bayern's scout Brightner, and Breitner also mentioned that Bayern wanted to buy Li Huan, and even talked about the signing fee and annual salary. In fact, Bayern had revealed the news to Watts on various occasions before this, hoping to buy Li Huan, but the two sides had no formal contact, and this meeting with Breitner was also a very ordinary meeting, and Watts did not take it to heart.

The figure of 50 million was not proposed by Breitner, in fact, Rummenigge inadvertently mentioned it during an interview, and that time Rummenigge was talking to reporters about the hype of the transfer market, saying that the Bundesliga may be worth more than 50 million players may only be Li Huan.

During the short break of the national team and the league, the reporter wanted to find a lively topic and connected these two things together, and it really had a sensational effect.

Bild. After the news broke, the mouthpieces of Inter, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Barcelona shook an olive branch at the same time, indicating that as long as Hoffenheim was willing to sell, they could pay a higher price than Bayern.

Rangnick and Schendelmizer learned all about the situation and decided that it must be a trick by Bayern to disrupt Hoffenheim before the German Cup clash in the German Cup. So a press conference was arranged for Li Huan to explain to his teammates, fans and reporters. If this matter is not handled well, it may affect the German Cup final and the league championship later.

Li Huan expressed his feelings for Hoffenheim and Hope at the press conference, "Although football is more commercial now, Mr. Hope and Hoffenheim dared to buy me when I was injured, in our country, this is called the grace of knowledge, Hoffenheim treats me with the etiquette of a countryman, I should repay with the attitude of a countryman, and I will never leave Hoffenheim when the club still needs me." I've not been in contact with Bayern, maybe they have contacted my agent, but that doesn't affect my decision, I'm not going to leave Hoffenheim unless Hoffenheim doesn't need me anymore. ”

Recently, there have been many clubs that have been contacted with Watts, and they are all European giants, but Hoffenheim now has the possible surname of the Treble, Watts is not willing to discuss Li Huan's transfer with other clubs, Watts believes that Li Huan's value will be higher after the end of the season, and at that time, Li Huan will have better chips to use than now whether he transfers or not.

So after Li Huan spoke, Watts also said in an interview with the reporter of "Bild" that Li Huan would not leave Hoffenheim for the time being, he lived very happily in Hoffenheim, and Li Huan was also ready to buy a property here, which is enough to show that Li Huan may live here for a long time.

Hoffenheim Club, Li Huan and Watts's repeated statements finally reassured the fans, but the reporter of the "Rheinneckar" newspaper believes that in order to let the players play with peace of mind, the club should sign the contract with the players first, at least the contracts of core players such as Li Huan, Eduardo, Demba Ba, Ibyshevic and Obasi are mentioned on the agenda, otherwise there will be news of Demba Ba's transfer and Ibisevic's transfer in the later league.

Hoffenheim was as good as a stream, and Shendelmaize soon announced that he would start talking about contract renewal with Li Huan, Demba Ba, Gustavo, and Eduardo's agents, and the second batch of renewal negotiations would be held after this batch of renewals.

At this point, Li Huan's transfer crisis has completely calmed down, and the media and fans have turned their attention to the upcoming German Cup final.

Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich met once in the league before this game, and it was the first time in the history of the two teams that they met, with Hoffenheim winning 3-0 on the road. This is the second meeting between them.

Hoffenheim won the score of the first meeting, and it seemed that Bayern Munich had no chance, but Hoffenheim played very hard in that game, and it was completely relying on Li Huan's flash to defeat Bayern's self-confidence, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether the outcome would be too far.

The second meeting with Bayern will definitely change the first game and Hoffenheim's style of play, Bayern's bench lineup is very strong, they can combine a variety of different lineups and playing styles, this time Hoffenheim is difficult to win, and the final is always unpredictable, many times it is by chance and the side with better defense wins the final game, Hoffenheim's style of play is too open, the last time I met Stuttgart, a team that also did not defend well, Hoffenheim won, But now against Bayern, who have more experience and defensive ability in the final, Hoffenheim will definitely have a lot to lose.

Before the game, the media in Munich encouraged Bayern with the famous phrase "one does not step into the same river twice", hoping that they could beat Hoffenheim in the final to win their first title of the season.

The reporter of "Munich Evening News" believes that Hoffenheim is stronger than Bayern is that they can run better than Bayern, and there is a free kick invincible Li Huan, Li Huan's free kick makes Bayern's defense near the penalty area shackled, and he does not dare to make a move, which is also one of the reasons why Bayern lost last time, this time Bayern should strengthen the defensive thickness at the front of the penalty area, give up playing against Hoffenheim, since Hoffenheim advertises that they play beautiful football, then let them attack, Bayern can put down the bottom to play defensive counterattack. On the front line, the possibility of beating Hoffenheim is at least 50 percent higher than 50 percent, with the combination of Tony and Podolski, or Schlaudruff's high and fast combination.

In such an embarrassing situation, the gold medal coach Heathfield also had to put down his body to study Hoffenheim's style of play, and there was defensive training for the surname, after watching all the losses and draws in Hoffenheim in the past two seasons, Heathfield categorically decided to use marking and zone defense to deal with the Chinese defenders, because the only common point of Hoffenheim's loss and draw was that Li Huan played poorly, or was not in good shape, or was hanged by the opponent, Li Huan is almost a barometer of Hoffenheim's performance, Li Huan is in good shape, Hoffenheim will win big, Li Huan is in average state, Hoffenheim will win by a small margin, Li Huan is not in shape, Hoffenheim will either draw or lose. This fact, Heathfield such an experienced coach has naturally been aware of it for a long time, but the last game was just a league game, there is no need to adopt such extreme tactics, and now, Bayern has become the backward side, and it is the German Cup final, since ancient times, the tournament has been nameless, and the conservative tactics will not be ridiculed by fans and reporters. Heathfield is a very flexible coach and not as stubborn as Rangnick, which is why he has been able to win so many titles.
