The team won the biggest score in the club's history, Rangnick was very happy, the face that has been gloomy in recent times finally cleared, in the post-match press conference, Rangnick praised his players in public for the first time after the training camp, "I said before the game, this game will be a test, whoever does not perform well, will not be able to play in the next league game, as a result of which our team has shown a high standard, although the new players have not yet fully integrated into the team, Demba Ba and Obasi are not there, Chemnitz played a good game, but we scored 10 goals and it's not easy to score 10 goals no matter what kind of team you are facing. All three new signings have scored, Javier [Saviola] scored a hat-trick and that's the best thing to do, so they will have a lot less pressure in the future, and the new season starts now, so we have to keep the motivation and pressure from the first game like last season and try to win even more. ”

As the core of the team and the boss of the locker room, Li Huan was asked by reporters about his attitude towards the three new teammates, Li Huan praised the three new teammates, "They are all very good players, Xavier scored a hat trick, Tymoshchuk and Baker also scored a goal, they contributed five of the team's ten goals, which is very pleasantly surprised, we will not be easier in the new season than last year, if we are going to continue to win something, we must improve the strength of the team, now it seems, The three of them have made the team a good improvement. ”

Baker is also a right-back, and was bought as a substitute for Li Huan, and the reporter is very interested in the relationship between Baker and Li Huan this season, when Bild reporter Gist asked Li Huan if he felt threatened from Baker. Li Huan told the reporter who got a golf sedan from him with a smile: "We are not competitive, we are complementary, this season we play more games, the opponent is stronger, with a strong teammate like Baker, I will be more relaxed, and Baker and I are both capable of many positions in the midfield, there is no problem for us to coexist." ”

The German Cup is a chicken rib, but also a small test before the league, how a team is in shape, whether it is well prepared for the league, and how the team's new signings perform can all be seen through this game.

In the first round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim won by 10 goals, and the attack was still strong, but the defense has improved to a certain extent compared to last season, Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach also poured 9 and 8 goals respectively against the opponent, showing a positive spirit and strong attacking power, but Bayern Munich led three times and was equalized by the German team three times, and only scored the winning goal in the 80th minute by the teenager Kroos.

After the game, "Bild" said in the German Cup review, "Hoffenheim don't spend much money in the transfer market, but their attacking power continues unabated, Argentine Saviola is much stronger than Copado, fully capable of competing for the main position, Timoshchuk has stronger attacking power than Gustavo in the back midfield, but the defensive ability is not bad, and Beck has become a new discovery, his performance on the side seems to make people see the shadow of Li Huan." They are set to be strong contenders for the league title this season.

Bayern Munich have more attacking routines and a more aggressive style of play after the change of manager, but their backline is significantly worse than last season, with 21 goals conceded last season making them the fewest goals conceded in the Bundesliga, and now they have conceded three goals against a Bundesliga team, which makes people very worried about how they will perform in the Bundesliga. The Kicker was also surprised by Hoffenheim's strong performance, "A lot of people are worried that Hoffenheim will fall into a slump in the second season, because many teams have become unmotivated after winning the championship, but this situation has not been found in Hoffenheim, and Bayern brought in former national team manager Jurgen Klinsmann after the big four were empty last season, the team is more attacking than last season, but their back line is worrying, Klinsmann is a striker, He wasn't very tight defensively when he was head coach and now it looks like the old problem hasn't been completely solved. ”

Despite their poor performance in the German Cup, Klinsmann was not worried, explaining after the game that the team had expected to perform and that they would be better than they are when the league starts. "Bayern did not perform well in the first round of the German Cup, and they were not at peace off the pitch, Hoffenheim were actually seducing their second team youngster Müller, according to Müller's own manager, Schendelmeize, had already visited his home twice. Hoeness was furious about this, and he crossed Hoffenheim's manager Shendelmeizer and called Hope directly, telling Hope not to dig into Bayern's corner, otherwise Bayern would have to return an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Although Bayern's youngster Muller is still only a second-tier player, his ambition and confidence are very high, he firmly believes that he can gain a foothold in a giant like Bayern, and took the initiative to tell the head coach of the Bayern youth team Grant, Grant values Muller very much, thinking that he is more promising and potential than Kroos promoted by Heathfield and Magath, so he immediately reported to Hoeness.

Although in the past, Bayern's senior management was not very optimistic about Muller and did not think that he now had the strength to gain a foothold in Bayern's first team, but Hoffenheim's manager came to poach Muller twice in a row, which shows that Muller must be valued by Hoffenheim. Reminiscent of the players who were poached by Hoffenheim in Stuttgart last season have become famous players in the Bundesliga, Weiss and Comber are both favored by Loew, Bayern's senior management thinks that this matter is not simple, and they can look away. After Hoeness called Hope, Klinsmann moved Muller from the second team to the first team and promised to offer him a professional contract during the winter break if he could perform.

Hoffenheim's heart to dig Muller was not resolute, they didn't put Muller in their recruitment plan, only because Li Huan was very optimistic about this young man and strongly recommended it, Rangnick considered introducing him, and after Muller was transferred to the Bayern first team, Rangnick called Muller again. Muller also sensed Hoffenheim's sincerity and proposed a transfer offer of a rotation position and an annual salary of 2 million euros before tax, but Rangnick rejected Muller's offer because he thought it was risky to give a player with no experience in the youth team a rotation position and an annual salary of 2 million euros, and it could be a stupid decision.

Li Huan was very sorry when he heard about this, and he told Rangnick, "You will definitely regret it, this young man's value in the future will far exceed this number." But Rangnick doesn't take it to heart, as most of his mind is now on Zenit's midfielder Arshavin.

It turned out that Arshavin wanted to join Barcelona the most, and his technical characteristics were also very suitable for Barcelona, but Barcelona did not rain dryly, it was just that the media repeatedly advocated to buy Arshavin, but the Barcelona club did not contact Arshavin and did not make an offer to Zenit. Arshavin was a hot shaved head, and later Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger joined the ranks of suitors, but Wenger's transfer offer was too shabby, only 10 million euros, and was directly rejected by Zenit's owner, saying that such a price can only buy Arshavin's leg.

The asking price of Zenit FC is 20 million euros, without which there is no need to negotiate, and Arsenal is stingy and does not want to increase the price, so the two sides are deadlocked. At this time, Hoffenheim had many contacts with Arshavin through Tymoschchuk, and Arshavin already had the intention of joining Hoffenheim, but he hoped that Hoffenheim would get the Zenit club first, he didn't want to fall out with the club, and he also wanted to transfer to Hoffenheim at a decent price.

The transfer fee of 20 million euros asked by Zenit Club is really a bit high, after all, Arshavin is 27 years old, and after two years at Hoffenheim, he will be 29 years old, and it is difficult to sell it at a good price. So Hoffenheim was hesitant and kept negotiating with Zenit on this issue.

When Muller put forward the conditions, Zenit Club also relented and lowered the transfer fee to 18 million euros, although this figure is still a bit higher than the 15 million that Hoffenheim wanted to give, but it is already very close. That's why Rangnick simply rejected Muller. One is a star who has been tested in the League Cup, and a little guy who has not even come out, and Rangnick, who is determined to continue to win the championship, will of course choose Arshavin.

Hoffenheim has not yet dealt with Arshavin, and his own backyard has begun to catch fire, although the teenager Stref has been promoted to the first team, but he is not satisfied with the conditions offered to him by the club and is unwilling to sign with Hoffenheim. However, the reporter soon shook out the reason why Strel was reluctant to sign with Hoffenheim, it turned out that Wenger, after many observations, was very optimistic about Strelge's skills and awareness, thinking that he was the next Fabregas, and was determined to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.

Stref was originally going to stay in Hoffenheim, but after seeing Hoffenheim's decision to introduce Arshavin, he felt that the breakthrough players in Hoffenheim's midfield had Eduardo and Arshavin, he basically lost the opportunity to play, and could only play a dozen garbage events like the German Cup at most. And Arsenal's salary is much higher than Hoffenheim's.
