Hoffenheim have only two games left for the season, one in the league against Bayern Munich and one in the UEFA Cup against Zenit St. Petersburg, both of which will be decided in a week's time.

At the beginning of the season, Bayern spent nearly 100 million yuan to try to reverse the decline of last season and win the German Cup, the league and the League Cup, but the league has not yet ended and they have withdrawn from the competition for the two titles, and the league is only one round behind Hoffenheim by two points, or away from home, and the championship situation is very bad.

But Bayern only have a backdrop, they have no way back, this is their only straw, although last season failed, there is still an excuse, the team is old, there is no new force, there are no big stars, but this season their investment in reinforcements is almost one-third of the entire Bundesliga, and they have invited the gold medal coach Heathfeld, who is familiar with the team's tradition, and the club's top management has leaders such as Hoeness, Rummenigge, and Beckenbauer, if they lose to Hoffenheim in the end, This is something more humiliating than losing to Zenit, the League Cup is a knockout round, just by chance, but the league is a long-term contest, losing the league championship cannot be said to be accidental, it can only be said that the strength is not as good as the opponent.

Killing Bayern they will not admit that the strength is not as good as a country team, in fact, Bayern's strength is indeed slightly stronger than Hoffenheim, this season they have every chance not to wait for the final round and Hoffenheim decisive battle, they have every chance to take advantage of Hoffenheim's low ebb to catch up, but Bayern was too careless, they didn't expect Hoffenheim to be so strong, actually 33 league games without a loss, if they try their best to win some games that lose points, the result will be very different. But now is not the time to regret it, what Bayern have to do now is to win the last game against Hoffenheim and win the league title.

After the game, the media believed that the root cause of Bayern's heavy defeat in the semi-finals of the League Cup was the imbalance between attack and defense, and the goalkeeper Kahn was no longer the Kahn of the year, and the defender Ze Roberto of the second palace only played well at a certain stage, and the strength of the two most important positions was greatly reduced, and Bayern had to score away from home, so it is not surprising that the final fiasco was. Bayern still have to win this league game against Hoffenheim, but if Bayern can't solve the problem of attacking and defending the balance, they are likely to suffer another defeat in the end.

Naturally, Bayern knows the crux of their problem very well, but now they are facing a situation where they have to win, and to win they have to attack, and if they invest more in attack, the defense will inevitably be weakened, which is a contradiction that all teams have to face.

Heathfield did not give the players a holiday after returning from Russia, the team directly conducted tactical training for Hoffenheim, Bayern's study of Hoffenheim's skills and tactics began in the second half, the biggest headache for Heathfield is not how powerful Hoffenheim's full attack and defense are all over the field, he has led the team to Europe for many years in his life, what type of team has experienced, his biggest headache is Hoffenheim's Chinese defender Li, Li Huan every time he kills lightning from the backfield, The image of a sharp blade plunging into the opponent's penalty area came to Heathfield's mind, and Heathfield shuddered.

I've seen a player with good technique, a fast player, and even more with a great body, but it's the first time I've seen a player with such a great technique, body, and speed. As long as there is space in their backline, Li Huan doesn't need anyone's help, and he can break through their defense line alone.

If it was an ordinary league, Heathfield could use a combination of regional defense and mark-to-man defense to deal with this Chinese, but now they must attack, and it is impossible to arrange a defensive line in the backfield to wait for Li Huan.

In the end, Heathfield and his coaching staff worked out a way not to let Li Huan pass half the court, because Li Huan is not a striker, not a midfielder, Li Huan is a defender, and his assists must start from the backfield and be completed through the midfield, in order to minimize Li Huan's threat, Heathfield believes that the best way is to foul in the front court, and not let him pass through the midfield at all, starting from the left winger and left midfielder to strangle Li Huan's assists in the cradle.

While Heathfield was busy studying ways to deal with Li Huan, Bayern Club was not idle, and they used all available resources to help Bayern profit before the decisive battle.

Although the referee committee of the German Football Association decided to referee the match between Bayern and Hoffenheim very early, Bayern was not satisfied with the referee named Schneider to enforce the game, because Bayern lost more and won less in the game that the referee blew, while Hoffenheim won it all.

"We are not satisfied with having a referee with so many mistakes to officiate such an important game." Carl Heinz Rummenigge, president of Bayern Munich, said this in an interview on Friday.

Hoeness also said, "There are so many experienced referees in Germany who are very capable of enforcing the law, why should Schneider blow this game, and he has not had many jokes this season?" I suspect he's a Hoffenheim fan because in the games he played, Hoffenheim won and we lost more than we won. ”

Hoffenheim was very angry at Bayern's vexatiousness, and Rothouse said in an interview with Bild: "Can Mr. Rummenigge say which referee did not make a mistake, Schneider's referee has long decided this game, as for Mr. Hoeness said that Hoffenheim won all the games in Schneith's enforcement, that is normal, because we have never lost a game this season, if according to Mr. Hoeness's logic, Germany has no referee who can enforce this game." ”

Despite the protests of Hoffenheim's players, coaches and club managers, the German referees committee eventually removed the original referee Schneider and replaced him with Raffati, in which Hoffenheim won two draws and one win, while Bayern won two.

Afterwards, Rangnick also said angrily: "Bayern want their club staff to enforce this game, of course, it is better for the referee to directly award Bayern to win." ”

In addition to making a fuss about the referee, Bayern also made excessive demands on the issue of Bayern going to watch the game away, and he hoped that Mannheim could give Bayern fans more tickets, preferably the same number of votes as Hoffenheim fans, but Mannheim club president Noyol did not agree, Noyol said that the ticket issue was negotiated with Hoffenheim before the season, and it could not be changed because of Bayern.

After Noyol's words were published by the reporter of the "Rheinneckar", Hoffenheim fans and players were furious, Li Huan publicly accused Bayern in the "Rheinneckar" of being too domineering, and simply regarded the Bundesliga as his own home league, he believed that no matter what kind of off-the-board moves Bayern used, they would beat Bayern at the Karl Benz Stadium to win the championship. “

Of course, Bayern is not really stupid enough to think that Mannheim Club will give Bayern and Hoffenheim the same tickets, they just want to provoke Hoffenheim, Hoeness thinks that Hoffenheim's coach is stubborn and upright, and the players are young and vigorous, if they are angered, they may take the initiative to attack even if they can win the championship in a draw, and will not take Bayern's most headache defensive counterattack, although this possibility is not big, but as long as it can have an effect, Bayern has one more hope of victory.

Bayern's players also launched a provocation to Hoffenheim before the game, Ribery said that Li Huan will only score free kicks, in fact, his goal-scoring ability in sports battles is not world-class, and it is not like the Hoffenheim fans exaggerated that they can compare with Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi, at most it can only be first-class in the Bundesliga, and Hoffenheim's level is even more average except for Li Huan. The annual salary and value can speak for themselves, even Li Huan, who has the highest annual salary, is only at the middle and lower level of Bayern's players.

Ribery's rhetoric naturally led to a counterattack from the Hoffenheim players, who sarricized Ribery and Bayern's players for taking high salaries but not winning the title, wasting the club's money.

Shendelmaize is worried that the annual salary issue mentioned by Ribery will cause dissatisfaction among Hoffenheim players, in fact, there have been complaints from the player's agent some time ago, but the recent game is too tight, and the players don't have the heart to think about this at all. Therefore, after Sarihovic's speech, he told the media that negotiations with Hoffenheim players have begun, and after the end of this season, Hoffenheim's annual salary will be greatly increased.

The media outlets in the home cities of the two clubs also published articles in support of their respective clubs, and the Munich Evening News concocted five reasons before the game for Bayern to overtake Hoffenheim to win the title.

The first is bench depth, Hoffenheim and Bayern have played two games, know each other well, bench players can play a role as a surprise player, but Hoffenheim's bench players are much worse than Bayern.

The second is the return to form of Klose and Schlauderuff, with the sluggish form of the two strikers being a big reason for Bayern's mid-league lag, and now they have both improved their form.

The third is that Hoffenheim has not experienced such a life-and-death battle, and the experience will help Bayern win.

Fourthly, Heathfield is a gold medal coach, and his coaching ability and on-the-spot adaptability are better than Rangnick.

The fifth is that Bayern is good at reversal and has the heritage of giants.

Naturally, the Rheinneckar newspaper dismissed the Munich reporter's summary, and they immediately threw out five reasons why Hoffenheim would win the championship.

The first is that Hoffenheim and Bayern have played two games and know each other well, Bayern have failed to win twice, and this time will be no exception.

The second is that Bayern's forward line is still bad, otherwise they would not have scored a goal in the game against Zenit, and Hoffenheim's attack is no worse than Zenit.

The third is that Hoffenheim have beaten more than 100 people in the German Cup final, and the experience will help Hoffenheim win again.

The fourth is that Rangnick and Heathfield are about the same level, but Li Huan is bent on breaking Muller's record of 40 goals.

Fifth, Hoffenheim are better at reversal and have never been reversed by their opponents.
