Chapter 9 Champions League 2nd Gear

The major leagues have entered the intense pre-match warm-up stage.

At this time, the European media is also searching for intelligence.

For example, a certain team's state suddenly declines, a certain team plays bravely, a certain player's state is over the top, etc...

The warm-up match before the season is a time for a group of fans to eat melons.

Although these clubs will hide some important information to a great extent, they can also see the status of the team.

For example, in the Bundesliga warm-up match, Munich 1900 encountered an extremely embarrassing situation.

In the 90-minute warm-up match, Munich 1900, which had several chances to score, failed to score a single goal.

Many media are discussing that after Biartini and Alex left, Munich 1900 has no key figures who can score.

However, Locke, a talented player who was highly expected by them and known as the new generation of shooters, handed over the embarrassing report card of two shots and zero shots on target.

However, Munich 1900 still tied the score through tenacious defense.

But what's the use?

You can't win without scoring.

Munich 1900 desperately need a key player in scoring goals.

Dortmund are also in some trouble.

The departure of Ravens made them encounter difficulties in the issue of tactical advancement. Dortmund without Ravens could not send the ball to key positions. The inability of the midfielder to hold the ball is a huge problem.

In the past, these tasks were dominated by Ravens, but now that Ravens is gone, Dortmund seems very uncomfortable.

Leverkusen's situation is better, but there are some fluctuations.

Other Bundesliga teams have more or less been affected by a 'player exodus'.

But under such a big rhythm, there is a team that is a bit different.

The two training matches were all victorious, and both were victories by a large score.

The media who watched the game were chanting 'art of offense'!

Just like the "Rhein-Neckar Zeitung" directly compared this warm-up match to a "offensive feast".

A journalist named Soros commented:

"This is the most complex and brilliant attack I've ever seen. You never know where Hoffenheim will attack from, where they will shoot, because they have six fucking 'forwards'!"

"Leo, Ranier, Habour, Ravens, Alfred, these five talented players have created amazing sparks!"

"Their tacit understanding is unbelievable. Perhaps geniuses have something in common!"

"Watching the ball go between these five players gives you immense satisfaction, it's like a work of art, and when they go forward, that stormy attacking pressure can also be seen in the stands. clear perception."

"Yes! This Hoffenheim team is more terrifying than last season!"

"The most important thing is that the age of this Hoffenheim draw is only 22 years old. This is a real young guard!"

"I am very responsible to tell you that in the corner of southern Germany, a youth storm is brewing!"

 …

At this time, he was in the playground in the villa area of ​​Sinsheim.

Ranier, Huber, Leo, and Piani gathered together, and they looked at their phones with excitement on their faces.

"They call us Youth Storm! It's cool!"

"The British "Lion" evaluated me. They said that I was the biggest discovery of the midfielder in this century!"

"I'm on the most anticipated list of the Champions League!"

"How come no one praises me!"

"Fart! You are still competing for the main force, who will pay attention to you."

The four little guys were excitedly talking about the reports of major European media.

This is their first appearance in the newspapers of the European media, which is very new for them.

Especially the praise in these media makes them a little bit smug.

Although some newspapers could not be read, they still enthusiastically used translation software to translate word by word and showed happy smiles.

On the other side, Ravens and Alfred looked at the four little guys with disgust.

It's just the praise of some media, as for it!

"I said, don't get carried away by these media's flattery, just listen to it."

Ravens kindly reminded.

He was a little worried that these teammates who had never seen the world would be inflated by the media's touting. After all, this kind of situation is not uncommon.

These media are playing very aggressively now, and if they don't play well, they will use the most vicious and ugly words to attack you.

"I know!" Ranie said, turning off the phone while doing warm-up movements; "But being praised will always make my mood reserved."

"Don't worry about us, if we are really overwhelmed by the media's hype, then we won't win the Europa League!" Huber laughed.

Leo also nodded and said, "This is a way for us to adjust our state. If we are praised every day, our mood will become particularly good. This has a very good effect on maintaining our state."

It would be fine if it was someone else, but Ravens was a little shaken by Leo's words.

real or fake?

Ravens started pulling out his phone and searching for his name.

But in the next second, all the key words were the news that Ravens turned his back on Dortmund and moved to Hoffenheim.

Ravens' face darkened, and he turned off his phone.

unlucky!

 …

On the other side, in the Hoffenheim office building.

Zhang Xian was also watching the news, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The last team we look forward to? The dark horse of the Champions League? This is a big hat for us!"

The media loves nothing more than fanning the flames.

Now they are touting Hoffenheim to earn traffic, and Hoffenheim, as the Europa League champion last season, naturally has a lot of attention.

Most people, though, just laugh it off.

They don't think that Hoffenheim can do anything in the Champions League.

Again.

The Europa League is different from the Champions League.

Although the two leagues are both European first-level leagues, there is a huge gap in strength.

Hoffenheim's success in the Europa League does not mean that they will achieve something in the Champions League.

Just like Sevilla last season, they entered the Champions League as the Europa League champion, but they still failed in the group stage.

The UEFA Champions League bracket is over.

Hoffenheim were placed in Pot 2.

In fact, this position is a bit of a burden for Hoffenheim. After all, according to the normal classification mode, they are likely to be in the third gear.

However, due to the title of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA cannot place Hoffenheim in the third or fourth tiers.

Even though there are many problems such as Hoffenheim does not have enough background, participated in the Champions League for the first time, and has less time to become famous, but they have a Europa League champion, then it is the second tier!

This season, some Bundesliga fans have watched it.

A total of four teams have entered the Champions League.

No matter how poor their performance is, they can't be eliminated, right?

Especially Hoffenheim!

In fact, they are looking forward to the performance of this team in the Champions League.

After all, according to past experience, Hoffenheim's performance in the competition is really strong!
