It is the second largest city in Germany, known as "Germany's big eight to the world, more than 1.7 million, Hamburg has never been relegated like Bayern, QUAnben, and Hoffenheim village has only more than 3,000 people, promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time this year, and the only championship so far is the German Cup just won this year. The match between Hoffenheim and Hamburg was hailed before the game as a contest between David and Goliath.

Although the Hamburg team had a mediocre start to the league. But in the last few rounds, Hamburg has been like a stock that starts low and goes high, and the upward momentum is very ferocious, from the Toto Cup to the League Cup, in the knockout stage of the League Cup is the easiest one to qualify, in the league they have just beaten the defending champion Stuttgart, in that game Stuttgart was beaten almost without a fight, from the scene to the score.

Striker Olic even scored a hat trick, if it weren't for Li Huan as a defender who also scored a hat trick, the best player in the tenth round would have gone to Olich.

After Stuttgart, Schal Bremen were slaughtered by Hoffenheim one by one, the state of Hamburg is considered to be another trench to block the Hoffen Kraken, Hamburg team in addition to the coach is Dutch, there are many Dutch players in the team, the Dutch midfielder, the core of the team Van der Vaart has long been favored by Real Madrid, it is likely to transfer to the best club of the century next season, striker Croatian Olich, Egyptian Zidan, Peruvian Guerrero are all cattle who can score, assist and even defend.

Rangnick's Hoffenheim style of play is similar to that of the Netherlands, using a Zhao 3 formation and the players are full of fitness. With the exception of the goalkeeper, all the players have offensive and defensive tasks, and Stevenson's Hamburg is also the Dutch all-attacking and all-defensive style of play. However, Stevenson's all-out offense and defense are more pragmatic. He changed the traditional Dutch milk to 4 lead tiles, followed by two lower loins. The three strikers in front form a cone that can penetrate in the middle or break through from the wings, making them very difficult to deal with.

A collision between teams of the same style. In the eyes of the media, Rangnick, who has moved to many clubs, has similar coaching ability to Stevenson, who has played for many years in Eindhoven, but Hoffenheim and Hamburg still have a certain gap in human ability.

Hamburg's owner Van der Farchai was born in the European star-making dream factory Ajax, and was known as the second in Overmars when he debuted at the net, and after moving to the middle, he was also known as the incarnation of the Ice Prince. And Hoffenheim's midfield core Eduardo is much inferior and immature compared to him. The Bild journalist believes that Van der Vaart alone in midfield will be able to reach Hoffenheim's Eduardo and Saarihovic.

Hoffenheim's vaunted forward line is at most comparable to Hamburg, with Hoffenheim's forward line being tall and powerful. However, Hamburg's defence was excellent and the movement was excellent. Good at cooperation in a small area on the left side of the front court. Their penetrating combination with striker Van der Vaart was one of the key weapons in Hamburg's victory.

The Hamburg team is a small and fast in the front, but the back is a typical muscle combination, the central defender, the back Mathieson, Kompany, De Jong, Yarolim although only more than one meter eight, but both of them are tigers, strong and abnormal, players taller than them dare not say that they can grab them. And they are far inferior in flexibility.

Hoffenheim may not be better than Hamburg in any point, but Hoffenheim is definitely the first in the Bundesliga at right wing-back. The advantage of this position made the media have to say a word after comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, if Li Huan cannot be contained, all the advantages of the Hamburg team will come to naught. Li Huan alone has the ability to subvert the outcome of the game.

Maybe there are players who can block Li Huan's breakthrough. If one person can't do it, two people will be sandwiched, but who can block Li Huan's free kick, Hoffenheim defender net. He had just scored a hat-trick from a free-kick and now he scored 100 per cent from a free-kick within 30 metres. Never missed. I don't know if Li Huan is acting mysterious, he almost never shoots directly at a free kick 30 meters away. Even the most defensively strong team in the world, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea would not dare to say that a free kick within 30 metres would not be left to the opposition.

The reporter of the Hamburg Morning Post said in his pre-match analysis: "Schalke in this round. and Bremen, whether the Hamburg team can beat Hoffenheim and take the opportunity to enter the top three is how to control Li Huan. Although Hoffenheim's forward goals are indeed a lot, but if you look at Li Huan's goals and assists, you can know the status of Chinese in Hoffenheim, half of Hoffenheim's goals come from his goals and assists, and other goals have a lot to do with him, now Stevenson should not consider what advantages his team has. "Efforts should be focused on how to restrain Hoffenheim's advantage."

The Munich Evening News paid even more attention to the game than Bayern Munich's trip to Borussia Dortmund's home field, with the Munich media believing Hamburg to be the only team Hoffenheim could beat before they met Bayern.

If Hamburg can't beat Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim are likely to extend their unbeaten streak to Bayern, at which point Bayern are likely to be in a situation where they have to win to win the winter title, and if Hamburg beat Hoffenheim and Bayern can become the leader, then the tactical options are even greater.

The host of the Munich TV station also strongly encouraged the Hamburg team to win in the sports program before the 11th round, and supported the Hamburg team, "The focus of this round is Schalke. Bremen and Hoffenheim take on Hamburg away from home, with Hamburg now in fourth place, but they are only on points ahead of third-placed Schalke. Two points less, once the two teams are tied, or Schal falls, they have a chance to finish in the top three, Hamburg's defense is excellent, if they can adopt defensive counter-attack tactics, using Van der Vaart's organization and the speed of the three forwards, Hoffenheim will play very hard, even if the two teams attack, if the Hamburg team does a good job of limiting Li Huan, give the opponent less free kicks in the danger area. They could also win this game.

Bild believes that the two teams are about the same quality. Hamburg has a slight home advantage. However, both teams had a bit of infighting before the game. Although the players who were in the aftermath of the infighting expressed reconciliation, no one knows what the impact of the incident will have on the team, and Bild believes that whoever can reconcile the internal conflicts will be able to prevail in the game. If the conflict cannot be resolved, it is better to put the players who are in trouble on the bench, than the players who do not cooperate with each other on the field.

The local media in Baden-Württemberg also paid close attention to the game, and after the unexpected fall of Stuttgart, the leader Hoffenheim and the little dark horse Karlsruhe became the focus of media coverage, and the reporters of Baden-Württemberg believed that this was a year for Baden-Württemberg football to take off, and if Stuttgart did not fall into the relegation zone, Baden-Württemberg would definitely become one of the strongest football states in Germany.

The Rheinneckar newspaper sees this race as the most important game before the winter break. A win over Hamburg is a bright road to the winter champions, and at worst they can finish second. If you lose, it's hard to say later, because youngster-dominated teams have always been good at playing tailwind. If it goes well, how to fight, once it doesn't go well, it may collapse for thousands of miles. So now Hoffenheim must not let up and grit their teeth and carry on the victory to the end. Rangnick shouldn't be sticking to attacking football either. It is necessary to be tactically flexible. For coaches. Wins and championships are the most important thing, and although offensive football can attract more fans, if you can't win and win championships, no matter how good the game is, there will be no fans watching.

As the game approaches, Stevenson, the head coach of the Hamburg team who is busy practicing, has an unexpected trouble, his wife Toth suffers from a periodic chronic disease, and is now being treated in the hospital in Eindhoven, the current strong Stevenson is a model husband, usually after practicing will go home to see, now his wife's condition has had a certain impact on his preparation for Hoffenheim, but he also knows the importance of this game for Hamburg, Hoffenheim, and even Bayern Munich, Hamburg's upward momentum is fierce, Although his wife's illness is important, it is a chronic illness, and how to take care of his wife can be considered after the game, and now he must put the match against Hoffenheim first

Bit.

Stevenson has worked in Eindhoven for many years, and has been immersed in Michels's full attack and defense for more than 30 years, Rangnick's Hoffen Siren's style of play has not exceeded the direction of full attack and defense, Stevenson is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of Hoffenheim's style of play, and he also knows how to restrain it, and now what gives him a headache is how to deal with Hoffenheim's defender Li Huan, which is a defender like Beckenbauer. The Netherlands, which had Cruyff back then, did not defeat the German team of Beckengun, and now although he has Van der Vaart in Hamburg, there is obviously a gap between Van der Vaart and Cruyff. However, Hoffenheim Li Huan is not much inferior to Becken, and he is far more than in free kicks, how to deal with such a day only a week ago made the Dutch coach rack his brains.

It's not like Stevenson hasn't thought about playing man to man defense. This is a tactic that has a better effect on Li Huan at present. However, his Hamburg team is a team that focuses on overall operations, and sending a man to mark will affect the team's style of play, and it is likely that the gains will outweigh the losses in the end.

After thinking about it, Stevenson was always uneasy about his left side, and finally decided to put Van der Vaart on the left side of his net debut, and use the attack to suppress Li Huan's offensive ......!
