Hoffenheim and Li Huan have become familiar with each other to the point that they can no longer be familiar, every victory of Hoffenheim, every recruitment, every tactical change has a close relationship with Li Huan, and even the team's tactical Rangnick has also discussed with Li Huan, before the German media and European media believed that this Hoffenheim belonged to Li Huan, not only because of how many goals Li Huan scored, how many assists, Li Huan's tactical help to Hoffenheim, Li Huan's help to Hoffenheim's locker room is also an important reason.

The first task of Hoffenheim in this game is to win, and the second task is not to let Li Huan score, this is Rangnick's order, Rangnick's high-sounding statement is that Li Huan is the guarantee of Arsenal's victory, and looking at Li Huan is equivalent to cutting off half of Arsenal's attack power, in fact, Rangnick has no confidence to win, but Rangnick said that he can't let Li Huan score.

On the right side where Li Huan is located, almost half of Hoffenheim's players are gathered, and Demba Ba sits in the area defended by Li Huan and suppresses Li Huan, Carlos. Eduardo never left the left side of the penalty area, Ibertsberg basically did not assist, and Gustavo was always ready to support the left side of his side, under such a dense defense, it was almost impossible for Li Huan to break out of the encirclement.

Stepping on this familiar turf, seeing the familiar stands, familiar fans, and hearing the familiar shouts of the fans, Li Huan's mood is like a sea of wind, unable to calm down, there are sweet memories, the sadness of losing, the passion of scoring goals, and the sadness of leaving. Even if he is now a member of the Arsenal fans, these things will never be erased.

Li Huan has been mentally prepared for this kind of situation on the field, he understands how Rangnick will deal with him, just as Rangnick knows him, he also knows Rangnick very well, Li Huan even thought of countermeasures before the game, in the field of football, Li Huan has enough cunning and technical ability to implement these cunning.

Li Huan is not very old in age, 26 years old, in his golden age, but psychologically, Li Huan is at least about thirty years old, in the game against his old club, Li Huan certainly hopes to be able to play, just like any man who does not want to lose face in front of his old lover, but Li Huan is not like some stunned young people, who want to eat his old club in one go, and dominate the whole game by himself, covering everyone's light. Li Huan knows that such a thing can't be rushed, under the opponent's strict defense, he can only bring humiliation on himself if he is in a hurry to perform, his world footballer, his football skills are among the best in the world, but he is not God, he can't kill the opponent a team by himself, he needs the help of his teammates, he needs to catch the opponent's flaws, so Li Huan chose to wait for the rabbit, first let his new teammates and old teammates compete first, stick to his duty, and do a good job of defense.

After the opening, Li Huan had almost no assists, Demba Ba wanted to suppress him on the right side, Li Huan asked for his surname to treat himself as a marking defender, staring at Demba Ba, not giving Demba Ba a chance, and the rest of the time was just standing there and watching coldly.

Hoffenheim deserves to be the defending champion, even if Li Huan's strength has declined, but he still has the ability to wrestle with Arsenal at his home stadium.

Rangnick stood on the sidelines, thoughtful, his mood was also not calm, Li Huan is a knot in his heart, media reporters, fans think that this Chinese has brought him honor, money, status, but Rangnick thinks that Li Huan has snatched his own glory, after several years of lying on the salary and trying to be bold, Rangnick believes that the group of players he brought out has the strength to compete for honor, but Li Huan's emergence has brought a lot of Li Huan's brand to his success, Even his peers were jealous and said that he was just lucky, give them a Li Huan, and they would be able to win the championship. Therefore, Rangnick agrees with selling Li Huan, he hopes to prove himself and Hoffenheim without Li Huan, and this match with Arsenal is Rangnick's best chance to prove himself.

Li Huan didn't take the initiative to attack and didn't reassure Rangnick, he didn't think it was Li Huan's mercy under his hands, he knew that this disciple was cunning and ruthless, he had always compared Li Huan to a leopard This fierce beast, in order to capture the prey, he can wait patiently, and when the prey has a flaw, he will rush up with lightning speed and bite the throat of the prey. Now Li Huan is waiting, and Rangnick believes that as long as Li Huan waits for the opportunity, he will definitely not give Hoffenheim a little respite. So Rangnick has been reminding the players on Li Huan's side to be vigilant and not to leave Li Huan vacant.

Wenger is not as complicated as Rangnick and Li Huan think, for him, this is a Champions League group stage that he has played for more than ten years, he tried to win, and he made full arrangements before the game, and it is up to the players on the pitch to play how they play, as long as they don't make mistakes. For players like Li Huan, Wenger gives more power, and it is up to Li Huan to decide whether to attack or defend, and Wenger will not care at all. Respecting players and giving them free play is one of Arsene Wenger's guiding principles.

Arsenal's ability to pass and receive the ball, the ability to penetrate in the middle, and the degree of tacit understanding between players are slightly higher than Hoffenheim, and the midfield commanders of the two teams, Fabregas and Arshavin have very different technical characteristics, Fabregas is good at organizing the ball and controlling the rhythm, while Arshavin is better at breaking through and shooting, even if Hoffenheim has a home advantage, over time, Arsenal still occupies a certain advantage in possession. However, because Hoffenheim is also very well prepared for this game and has studied Arsenal's players thoroughly, Arsenal's advantage can only be reflected in the possession of the ball, regardless of the number of shots, corners, and free kicks.

The game was tense but not exciting enough, and there was no goal, the on-site commentator thought that this was a reflection of the truth of the nameless game of the competition, "The opening has been played for 15 minutes, no one has scored, and the game is not very intense, for both sides, these 15 minutes should be a time of temptation, Li Huan, who has always assisted in civilized world football, did not take the initiative to attack, in addition to defense, there are only occasional long passes, although Li Huan has a good relationship with Hoffenheim after leaving, but as a professional player, It's impossible for Li Huan not to want to win, Coach Rangnick has always wanted to get rid of Li Huan's shadow, and he definitely hopes to beat Arsenal at home, this game has nothing to do with Wenger, this is a duel between master and apprentice, 15 minutes of trial have passed, and now we are looking forward to scoring goals and ** coming soon. ”

For a game, several 15 minutes are very important, generally speaking, the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes are the most important, the first 15 minutes determine the style of play and trend of a game, and the last 15 minutes are often the 15 minutes that determine life and death, with the most goals and the most aggressive.

After the first 15 minutes, Hoffenheim and Arsenal both picked up the tempo of the game, neither of them wanted a draw, but they both felt that the quality of the opponent was like this, so they wanted to take the lead and score the opponent's goal early.

As soon as the tempo of the game increased, the threat of attack was immediately apparent, and in the 16th minute, Hoffenheim launched a threatening attack and almost broke the goal, Arshavin distributed the ball to the left, Tymoschchuk stepped into the box and moved to the back post, Ruud van Nistelrooy adjusted his left-footed volley from 16 yards from goal and hit it too squarely, which was held in the arms of Arsenal's third goalkeeper Mannone, causing a wave of regret and exclamation from the fans.

With this shot, the fans' spirits were uplifted, they knew that the game was coming soon, the game had entered the offensive stage, and both sides had to show their true skills.

In the 19th minute, Cesc Fabregas made a rare gesture when he saw Hildebrand standing forward near the center circle, and Fabregas fired directly into the goal, but the ball grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line, which also scared the fans and goalkeepers.

In the 21st minute, Li Huan launched the first assist of the game, which was also Hoffenheim's long-term view of Li Huanguang's defense without assisting, and the troops on the side were transferred to the middle, after all, the middle and left sides were in full swing, but it was a pity that two players were idle on the right, and the situation of the game seemed to be able to break through Arsenal's door as long as Hoffenheim added more effort, so Demba Ba and Carlos. Eduardo is supporting the team's attack in the middle.

And at this moment, Fabregas was like a conspirator in the midfield, timely and decisively distributed the ball to the side where no one was, and Li Huan, who had been honestly staying in his own defense area, didn't know when he had come to the middle, after receiving the ball, Li Huan rushed straight to Hoffenheim's bottom line at the speed of lightning and thunder, unstoppable, just like he was about to rush over with thousands of troops standing in front.

Ibertsberg saw it and shouted again and again, let Li Huan rush up without any obstacles, how could he block it, even if it was a foul, it would take luck, this Ibertsberg knew better than anyone, because in the team's training, he has always been Li Huan's opponent, his biggest headache is not Li Huan's technique, but Li Huan's speed, technique can also be broken with body and fouls, but when the speed reaches the extreme, you can only just watch, there is no way at all.

"Conspiracy! It's a conspiracy! Li Huan should have been waiting for this opportunity......" The on-site commentator shouted loudly.

Rangnick was also thinking about these two words in his mind, he also thought that Li Huan had been planning for a long time, but he was still afraid of Li Huan's forbearance, and even a little angry, and this anger came from his powerlessness against Li Huan. It's a coach's anger at his inability to control the game, an anger that wants to destroy everything.
