Chapter 080: A Devastating Blow
Xiao Qing is in love, which is something that has spread throughout Germany in an instant; For Xiao Qing and Sky Sports intern reporter Anna. The matter of Kraft's love affair is mixed; Some people think that Xiao Qing is too proud, but considering that Xiao Qing is now twenty-four years old, it is acceptable to fall in love. And thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qing seems to have no other actions in this regard except for the matter of 'opening a room' with Pixie, so in general, it can still be reassuring.
But Xiao Qing is in love, which has attracted the attention of the outside world, but it is not a good thing that some Hoffenheim players have rumored to be romantic.
Not to mention that the newly transferred Hildebrand has not played for three months, although he is trying to recover his form, but Xiao Qing feels that the strength of the former popular goalkeeper may only be able to reach the German second level, although he may be able to recover his strength one day, but this day seems to be hopeless now.
The difference between Germany and Italy, which is also a national team rich in handsome guys, is that the German team does not have as many handsome guys and ugly men as Italy. Italians are very handsome and ugly, but there are few ugly men in Germany, at most they are not handsome. But this tradition was shattered with the arrival of Weiss. Because of Hoffenheim's success, Weiss was selected for the national team. The German team is of course a good thing to add fresh blood, and Weiss deserves to be rewarded for his performances this season. But his appearance is really not flattering, which seriously undermines the inherent image of the German team.
Although not a regular player, Weiss is already an important rotation player at Hoffenheim, and his performance on the pitch is also quite eye-catching, although there will still be some youthful frizz. But his progress is still enormous. So he is now also called up for the new German national team with his teammate Beck.
That would have been a good thing. But it was originally a more important member of the hottest team, coupled with such a beautiful thing as becoming a German international, Weiss naturally received more attention; It's just that the attention rate has gone up, and maybe it's dangerous.
According to Bild, Weiss recently went on a date with another blonde behind his girlfriend's back, and it was blatant that they actually appeared at the Christmas party hand in hand. Many acquaintances saw the scene, including his girlfriend's friend. Weiss's girlfriend got the call. Originally, she couldn't believe it after hearing it, but she immediately killed the scene, and sure enough, she caught the traitor.
Weiss is in a hurry now, because his girlfriend is going to break up with him, and he is really not honest enough, even after being broken, he is trying to quibble. This is a Bundesliga version of "Chen Shimei". After becoming famous, Weiss began to look for flowers, which may not be a good thing for Hoffenheim at all, because these players are now famous, they are young and golden, but the great temptation of the outside world has also come.
14 January 2009. Hoffenheim began to prepare for the second half of the race, and they actually had a week of training before the official start of the second half of the race; And now. They will play some warm-up matches against Hamburg, and although Hamburg has gone two main players during the winter break, although this has made them less competitive, but overall Hamburg is actually quite strong. In the first half, Hamburg lost 0-3 away to Hoffenheim, although it was only a warm-up game, but the Hamburg team was aiming for revenge. The two teams are in the championship zone, and this high-end dialogue scene is extremely hot.
If there is regret medicine on this shijie, Hoffenheim's boss Hope will definitely pay for a regret pill, because it was such a warm-up match that almost ruined Hoffenheim, and Hoffenheim suffered a fatal blow before the second half of the game began.
During the winter break, Hamburg and Hoffenheim, who were training in La Manga, Spain, decided to play a warm-up match to test the team's recent form. The results showed that the two teams were in "amazing" form; The choice was made in Spain because of the better climate and because it was easier to play in a relatively relaxed environment.
It was a very frustrating game, a game that made everyone feel incredible; It was such a warm-up game that originally looked inconspicuous to find form, but it actually cost Hoffenheim, who had a lot of scenery in the first half.
Kung fu and football have always been closely linked, and Hamburg and Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga have once again turned the football stadium into a competition platform, and the two teams fought in the warm-up match, and many martial arts stunts reappeared.
Hoffenheim were trying some new tactics in this game, and they didn't use the more energy-consuming and crazy pressing tactics that their opponents were more familiar with; In such a situation, Hoffenheim conceded a goal at the beginning of the second half, and then another goal.
Originally, it was really not a big deal to fall behind by two goals, after all, it was just a warm-up game; However, when the game was 80 minutes into the game, Ibisevic, who was running without the ball, suddenly seemed to have sprained his knee, and he could not continue to play and motioned to go off the field for simple treatment. Although Ibisevic was indeed unable to hold on to the game, the Hoffenheim players didn't care too much, because Ibisevic could still walk off the field by himself when he got off the field, and he should not be seriously injured.
But this race is destined to be an unusually bizarre race, a warm-up race that has all but shattered the myth of Hoffenheim's promoted race! In the 88th minute of the game, shortly after Ibisevic left the game, that is, when the warm-up match was almost over, disaster for Hoffenheim suddenly struck! A huge disaster that caught people off guard!
At that time, Eduardo was dribbling the ball in the midfield, and Hamburg striker Olic suddenly used a "mountain of balls" to overthrow the Hoffenheim midfielder to the ground. Eduardo turned over and jumped up with a "carp fight", throwing out a "serpentine trick" and attacking Olich's door; Olic immediately became furious, and used his dragon claw hand to jam Eduardo's eyes, and the arena was in chaos. The two martial arts masters were pulled away by their teammates, and the referee also took out a red card and sent them off, but such a bad court brawl will definitely be heavily punished, even if it is just a warm-up match, but the German Football Association will obviously not be polite; Violence on the pitch is abhorrent, and the Hoffenheim midfielder and Hamburg striker must have had a hard time losing Spain!
Just when all the media were paying attention to the fight between Olic and Eduardo after the game, and just as all the media were discussing what kind of punishment the two players would be punished this time, there was even more shocking news! Hoffenheim's ace Ibisevic went off with a knee injury and was immediately taken to a local hospital for an MRI, the latest news is that the injury is quite serious, and manager Rangnick confirmed: "Although it is not fully diagnosed, the preliminary conclusion is that the anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee is partially torn. ”
Ibisevic has been as meteoric as Hoffenheim this season, scoring 14 goals in 17 league games in the first half and four in the UEFA Cup and German Cup, and his 18 goals in the first half of the season have not only made him famous, but he is also one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga in recent decades. To be able to score such an efficient goal next to his team-mate at the top of the scorer charts, Ibisevic is really worth looking forward to; But just when everyone was expecting Ibisevic in the second half of the season, he suddenly suffered an unexpected injury.
If a torn cruciate ligament is diagnosed, the 2008-09 season will be almost prematurely ended for Ibisevic, and his goal record will be stuck at 18. What made Rangnick even more headache was that Obasi was injured in the 17th round of the league against Schalke 04 and has not returned to the team since he was injured. Once Ibisevic is diagnosed as unavailable, Hoffenheim's vaunted trident will lose two big players at the same time, which could be a fatal blow to Hoffenheim, who had a fantastic start to the first half of the season.
As the name suggests, it is composed of two intra-articular ligaments that cross each other in a figure of ten, which are called anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament. This ligament is mainly used for flexion and extension exercises and slight rotational movements, which are essential for human movement and normal walking.
Cruciate ligament tears are considered to be the hardest injuries to athletes. Take a break for about six months, or more than a year! There is only a thin line between joy and sorrow, and after winning the 2008 Bosnia and Herzegovina Footballer of the Year award, Ibisevic is now left with nothing but despair.
Without stopping for a moment, Hoffenheim's team management immediately returned to Germany with Ibisevic and was examined at the prestigious Heidelberg University Hospital; And the results of the examination made Ibisevic desperate and caught Hoffenheim FC off guard: a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the right knee!
This means that the Hoffenheim striker, who has scored 14 league goals, will be completely on the sidelines in the second half of the game, and his season will be over early!
Everyone was dumbfounded, they simply did not expect that Hoffenheim would pay such a huge price in such an inconsequential warm-up game; The main midfielder is likely to be banned, and the main striker will be reimbursed for the season!
It's a huge loss that no team can accept, and it's a major setback that can devastate a team's season, especially when it comes to a team like Hoffenheim that doesn't have a lot of depth in the squad.
Time is running out for Hoffenheim and the transfer window is closing soon; At this time, whether Hoffenheim wanted it or not, and no matter how frustrated they were, they needed to face reality. (To be continued......)
