Chapter 26 The Birth of a Dark Horse

"The only low-level team in the German Cup that is close to the third round! "

"Hoffenheim drew the best record in the history of a low-level team in the German Cup! "

"Crazy Hoffenheim, the German Cup may give birth to a super dark horse!" "

After Hoffenheim got close to the third round, many internal media in Baden-Württemberg began to report the matter frantically.

The six low-level teams promoted in the second round of the German Cup, except for Hoffenheim, were all eliminated.

This is also the normal state of the German Cup over the years. Few low-level teams can break through the blockade of high-level teams for the second round.

But this year, Hoffenheim strongly defeated the relegated Bundesliga team Nuremberg, stepped into the third round, and drew with the best record of the low-level teams in the German Cup.

And looking at the Hoffenheim VS Nuremberg game.

When Hoffenheim played tenaciously, the two sides staged a goal battle in the 90-minute game, and Hoffenheim finally won the game with a score of 5:4.

This kind of achievement made the media in Baden-Württemberg start to praise Hoffenheim frantically.

After all, while Hoffenheim was promoted, they severely taught the Bayern team.

Moreover, the weak defeated the strong, which was enough to make them choke the Bayern media.

 …

Hoffenheim fans are extremely excited about qualifying for the DFB-Pokal.

In the Sinsheim area, discussing the game has become an after-dinner conversation.

In this game, Gray, Gian, Bialdini and Wei Rauch all scored goals, but it was Kira that people talked about the most.

The hero who launched Hoffenheim's key counterattack.

Kira has always been a little transparent in the Hoffenheim team.

It's hard to praise a sweeper, especially a player like Kira who doesn't have any skills and only knows how to bury his head and run wildly.

It is too difficult for him to show himself in front of the fans.

There have even been cases where some fans questioned Hoffenheim's head coach,

They felt that Kira's presence in the Hoffenheim team was a tasteless one.

Loel Christopher didn't pay any attention to this, and he continued to continue his tactical style.

In the key match of the German Cup promotion, Kira successfully completed the redemption.

It can be said that the last goal was obtained by Kira's tireless running.

It was also thanks to this attack that Kira appeared in the newspaper for the first time and was greatly appreciated. It was also the first time he was recognized and cheered by the fans.

This young man from the Newster Warriors exchanged his performance for cheers and a brand new contract.

Kira's original salary was a weekly salary of 800 euros. In Hoffenheim, where the average weekly salary is 900 euros, Kira's salary level is already much lower.

People like Ji'an, Bialdini and Wei Rauch all work with a weekly salary of 1,500 euros.

And today, Kira went to the human resources department, accompanied by director Yulia, to re-sign a three-year contract.

In this contract, his weekly salary was also adjusted from 800 Euros to 1100 Euros.

This made Kira extremely happy.

 …

In December, the German fourth tier continues.

Although Hoffenheim have qualified for the DFB-Pokal, they still have league games to play.

It's just that due to the consumption in the last game, Loel Christopher had to use several substitutes to replace the main players.

In this game, Gyan and Bialdini both entered the squad, but Alex and Jamie made their debut.

Alex and Jamie have played frequently since October. Although they all came off the bench, they performed very well.

Especially the player Jamie, in a limited time, he still contributed 3 goals and 1 assist, proving his worth.

Although Alex failed to score a goal, he frequently used his explosive power and speed to overwhelm the opponent's defense, assisted Jamie and other players, and also had a record of 5 assists.

Noel Christopher spared no effort in the training of these two players.

He is very clear that after the end of this season, in June next year, both Biartini and Ji'an will enter the transfer window and leave Hoffenheim.

This is the agreement he reached with Zhang Xian.

It took a full three years for Hoffenheim to train Ji'an and Biartini, and invested a lot of investment, and now it's time to realize it.

And Ji An can't hold it down anymore.

After the German Cup, San Galo once again made an offer for Gian, and Saarbrücken did not give up.

The most important thing is that the old Jazz at Trafford also wants to take Ji An away.

Even the old jazz still wants Biardini, but Biardini has no national team game record, and he cannot land in the Premier League.

On the other hand, as an EU player, Ji'an will not be restricted by a labor certificate.

The departure of Ji An and Bialdini is an established fact.

What Hoffenheim needs to do is to fill the vacancies of the two as quickly as possible after the two leave.

Jamie and Alex play this role.

In the 16th round of the German Cup, Hoffenheim played against Aaron at home.

Aaron is a team from the Black Forest and is now ranked fourth in the standings, while Hoffenheim is still third.

In the past 15 rounds, Hoffenheim's record tends to be stable.

Hoffenheim, 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, 33 points.

Aaron, 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, 31 points.

It can be said that this game determines the ranking of the two teams in the standings.

At 17:00 in the evening, the game officially started at the Fieldsmore Stadium.

Both rookies Alex and Jamie seemed very excited.

This is the first time they have walked out of the player channel with the team in Hoffenheim, and they can even play the entire game.

After several months of experience, they are confident that they can perform well.

But just after the start of the game, Hoffenheim encountered a lot of trouble.

The two goal points of Jamie and Wei Rauch were firmly restricted by the opponent.

As for Alex, he didn't get too many defensive restrictions.

Aaron had studied Hoffenheim before the game, especially the two young players Jamie and Alex.

Needless to say, they all performed brilliantly.

But their style of play is too monotonous.

Jamie has a good goal scoring ability, and Alex is also very fast.

In the past, many teams tried to contain Alex's wing, just like they restricted Ji'an.

But this was a misunderstanding of their thinking, because Aaron found that compared to Ji'an, Alex didn't seem to shoot too much.

A wing who can't shoot, just needs to cut off his passing line and limit the shooting point.

For this reason, Wei Rauch and Jamie were completely restricted in this game.

On the other hand, Alex is really comfortable playing on the wing, but this guy always wants to pass the ball to Jamie and Wei Rauch, even if the opponent's position is not good, he still wants to pass, just pass hard.

Seeing this scene, Aaron's head coach smiled. His guess was right, the Cameroon teenager can't shoot!

He turned his head slightly to look at the coach's bench next to him.

Sure enough, Loel Christopher stood by the sideline with a dark face, glaring at Alex.

Noel Christopher is devastated.

Can Alex not shoot?

Do not!

This guy can shoot, and with Scherff as a partner, he has a good shooting ability.

But why is this guy always passing the ball?

Loel Christopher felt that he had used too much force before, causing this little guy to give priority to passing the ball.

But the current situation is that Jamie and Wei Rauch are seen dead, and Alex is the only breakthrough point.
