"Li Huan! Li Huan! ”,qUAnBEn,

Li Huan swept away the listlessness in the car, came out to sign autographs and photos for the fans, and joked with his teammates from time to time, showing the demeanor of a star between his gestures, but when the reporter of the "Rheinneckar" wanted to interview him on the spot, Li Huan simply refused, Rangnick knew that Li Huan was now a strong fighting spirit, and he had some objections to this disciple's private life, but Li Huan's performance was almost perfect both on the scratching field and in the game, so he had nothing to say, seeing the "Rheinneckar Newspaper" The reporter looked disappointed and embarrassed, and Rangnick said quietly: "Li Huan ran nearly 20,000 meters in this race, he is too tired, if you want to know anything, you can ask me."

The reporter of the "Rheinneckar" Zeitung was in high spirits when he heard this, and hurriedly handed over the microphone and said: "Coach Rangnick, after beating Hamburg, you have won the old game and a draw, what do you think about this?" ”

Rangnick said: "I'm very happy to get a big win from behind, Hoffenheim is now capable of playing tough battles, it's a good tradition of German football not to give up when you're behind, and with that quality we can achieve better results." ”

Ji Shou asked: "As the league progresses, Hoffenheim, who occupies the top spot, is bound to become the focus and research of many teams. Are you concerned about this? ”

can

Rangnick: Actually, we've been the focus of our opponents in some of the games that have ended. The opponents are more familiar and comfortable with our style of play, which does take a bit of brains.

We have to find a way to deal with it. However, Mr. Hope has promised that we will continue to bring in reinforcements during the winter break, strengthen our bench depth, and the addition of more fresh blood will give us more changes. ”

The reporter said: "Hoffenheim's performance at the moment is amazing. What are your expectations for the next games?"

Rangnick: If someone had said before the season that Hoffenheim could have been relegated before the winter break, everyone would have called him crazy. But now we're doing it on our own. In the coming days, all we have to do is stabilize the team's results, keep our feet on the ground and work step by step. ”

The reporter asked: What do you think of Li Huan? He's a defender, but he's the team's top scorer and assist, have you ever thought about making him a striker? ”

Rangnick laughed: "He's also the player with the most goals and assists in the Bundesliga and I've thought about pushing him up front, but I feel he's playing well at the back and he's happy with where he is, so I don't think there's any need to change it for the time being

The reporter said: "Li Huan is the mainstay of Hoffenheim, the core of attack and defense, why didn't he become the captain of the team?" ”

Rangnick said: "The captain is chosen by the players, and before the start of the new season, the players once recommended Li Huan as the captain, but he refused. ”

The reporter was surprised and said, "Why did Li Huan refuse to be the captain, isn't it an honor to be the captain?" ”

Rangnick said: "Since the captain is elected, I think it is Li Huan's freedom to be wrong, but as you said, Li Huan is already the de facto core of the team, and it doesn't matter if he has the name of the captain or not." ”

The reporter said: "Thank you for the interview. ”

Rangnick said: "You're welcome, the team's results are inseparable from your help. ”

Because they were playing the German Cup in three days' time, Hoffenheim didn't give the team a day off when they returned to Mannheim, but they didn't practice for four hours in the afternoon as usual, but just did a restorative session, and then the players went their separate ways.

Originally, Rangnick was planning to give up the German Cup, but Hoffenheim was lucky, their opponent in the second round of the German Cup was Jena of the German Second Division, such an opponent was just a piece of cake for Hoffenheim, and they naturally did not make a move. Rangnick is ready to use the youth team and substitute players to play this game, and let Li Huan, Eduardo and other players who did not have a national team match some time ago be substitutes.

The main protagonists on the field during the two days were the youth team, and the main players were their opponents for the drill, and the youth team head coach Peters and Rangnick guided the players on the field. The young midfielder Strelf performed very well in these two days of training, and he was proficient in passing, passing and shooting in the midfield, far exceeding the players of his age. Rangnick remembers that last season's German Cup was a very good young man, and it was this young man who scored twice to help Hoffenheim advance in the game of the Bundesliga Hamburg, otherwise Hoffenheim may not have a chance to reach the final, but then Hoffenheim introduced foreign aid on a large scale, and the addition of these high-level foreign aid made Rangnick forget Stref in the youth team, he didn't expect that almost a season had passed, and the maturity of this young man was beyond his expectations.

Peters saw that Rangnick admired Stref very much, and he couldn't let go of it, and said with a smile: "Ralph, Stryff is a good overflow. No worse than your Edward. I want to lend it to you. ”

Rangnick mused, "How old is this little one?" ”

Peters said: "He is old, but he is very mature in football, not at all like a child of the age of mouth. ”

Rangnick laughed, "I remember, he's Wana's younger brother." ”

Peters looked at Li Huan, who was teasing Strelve, and said mysteriously: "Yes, it seems that Wana is Li Huan's girlfriend." ”

Lan Zuke thought that Li Huan had to find time to go on a date with a girl in his busy schedule, and said angrily: "How can you learn to gossip with tabloid reporters, Li Huan's rumored girlfriend has gone too much, I suspect he can't remember which one is which." ”

Peters said: "Li Huan's shortcomings can't hide his advantages, it seems that the woman didn't cause him any trouble." ”

Rangnick shook his head and said, "Not now, I'm worried that in the future, his fame will become bigger and bigger, and if he is a little more indiscreet, there will be more women around him than reporters." ”

Peters smiled: "Ralph, don't worry so far, we may not be able to keep him next year, what do you think of this Strelf, if you want me to lend it to you, your midfield is still a little thin." ”

Rangnick said: "I will observe again in the De Zai Cup, and if the female mouth fruit can be as good as in practice, I will transfer him to the first team to Eduardo as a substitute." ”

"You've got a bit of a bad goalkeeper position," Peters said, "The game conceded 20 goals, which is unusual for a league leader to concede that number of goals. I also have a nice young goalkeeper under me, who is a year older than Strelf and has great talent to be used as a substitute for Haas and Özacan. ”

Rangnick smiled and said, "Old friend, you don't want to push all your players to me, I think this goalkeeper is enough, what we lack now is an experienced goalkeeper." Rather than grooming new people. I was going to buy a goalkeeper during the winter break. ”

The two coaches whispered, and Strelf, who was competing with Li Huan on the practice field, did not know that his fate had unknowingly changed significantly. I just want to win Li Huan, let out a bad breath, for more than a year, as long as the youth team and the senior team practice Li Huan together, they will tease him, Strelf thinks that after a lot of hard practice, his skills have improved a lot, but once he started, he has never passed Li Huan once.

Watching the hilarious Hoffenheim senior players, there was a burst of playful laughter from time to time.

Two days later, in Jena, Hoffenheim sent a mixed fleet of substitutes and youth leaders, but there were also strong players such as Copado, Teber, Nelson and Jankel in the team, but it was not the substitutes of the senior team who made a big splash in this game. In the German Cup Team of the Year selected by "Kicker" after the game, Stref was also successfully selected.

Head coach Rangnick saw Stref's performance so well, and announced after the game that Stref was transferred from the youth team to the senior team, but because it was now the middle of the league, Hoffenheim Club did not give Stref a contract for the senior team, and Stref was still a player in the youth team.

In the next 12th round of the league, Hoffenheim easily defeated the Bochum team that has performed well this season in the away 3, while Bayern Munich was unexpectedly forced to draw by Eintracht Frankfurt at their home stadium, and the goalkeeper of Frankfurt in this game Nikolov seemed to be possessed by God, and resolved Bayern's countless shots and four or five must-score goals, Bayern and Hoffenheim remained unbeaten after the round, but the score gap between them and Hoffenheim was expanded to 6 points. And the original Bayern and Hoffenheim far away chasers also began to approach, Schalke concave is only two points away from Bayern, Bremen is only four points, Bayern not only has a big drop in the hope of winning the championship, even the Champions League seat has become not very secure.

The second round of the UEFA Cup group stage also kicked off after this round of the league, Hoffenheim's group has already staged a round of matches, Hoffenheim had a bye, in the last round, Everton from the Premier League showed strong strength, they beat Greece's Larissa 3, AZ Alkmaar and Russian Premier League Zenit St. Petersburg played out a 1-1 draw. In this round, Hoffenheim host arch-rivals Everton.

ten thousand

In the last round of the UEFA Cup, Germany's other three teams all won the competition, with Bayern Munich beating Red Star Belgrad, Bayer Leverkusen beating France's Toulouse 1-0 and Hamburg beating Norway's Brann 1-0.

The pressure on Hoffenheim has increased by a few points due to the results of the rest of Germany, who are now the leaders of the Bundesliga, with teams lower than them winning, and Hoffenheim will have a hard time explaining to their fans if they lose at home. So before the game, the club gave Hoffenheim an order to try to win.
