Chapter 7 A New Season
Another new season!
On July 15th, Hoffenheim players began to return to the training center one after another.
The training center that had been silent for two months began to become lively.
As usual, there are still many new faces this season, and these Hoffenheim players have become accustomed to it.
Of course, what makes them most happy is that Roquel finally returned from injury.
"Guys, I'm back!"
Roquel entered the locker room, and his cheerful voice raised the atmosphere of the entire locker room.
"Welcome back!"
"Sergio, you don't even know what we endured while you were away."
"Be careful this time, don't get hurt again!"
Roquel also felt a burst of warmth in his heart when faced with the greetings from his teammates.
The difference between Hoffenheim and other clubs is that many players are no longer simply colleagues. They work hard for a common ideal and have a deeper bond.
"How is your physical condition?"
Ranier asked worriedly.
In any case, Roquel is currently the sharpest spear in Hoffenheim, and the appearance of Roquel will bring great changes to Hoffenheim.
Just like last season, the presence or absence of Roquel directly affects Hoffenheim's performance in the Champions League.
"The doctor said that the recovery is very good!"
Roquel patted his chest. Although there were still some protective stickers on his back, judging from the expression of the other party, it seemed that he was recovering really well.
This also made Ranier breathe a sigh of relief.
"This season, we have to teach Stanford a lesson," Ranier said harshly.
He has been brooding over Hoffenheim's loss to Stanford in the semifinals.
If it hadn't been for Roquel's injury, Hoffenheim would have reached the final.
Even won the Champions League.
"The premise is that we can meet them again!" Habr shrugged: "At least until the quarter-finals, we won't see them!"
Hoffenheim are the Bundesliga champions and Stanford are the Champions League champions.
They must be differentiated into the sequence of the first echelon.
This also proves that they cannot be in the same group.
Unless either Hoffenheim or Stanford has a bad performance and fails to get the first place in the group, in this case, it is possible for them to meet in advance.
Ranier said that, though.
If they really let them meet Stanford in the quarterfinals, it would be enough for Hoffenheim to drink a pot.
Although he shouted for revenge, he still hoped to defeat the opponent in such an important match on the stage of the final or semi-final.
At this time, the locker room door was opened again.
Two strange figures walked in.
Seeing someone coming, Ranie got up immediately, clapped his hands and said: "Guys, we have a new companion!"
After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, put his arms around Kuslian's shoulders, and said with a smile, "I don't need to introduce this one. The famous trident in Madrid, Kuslian!"
Kuslian didn't mind being hugged by Ranie, he greeted with a smile: "Guys, hello!"
On the other side, Carlos looked at Varim who was sitting on the bench and changing clothes with piercing eyes.
He is very clear that this is the current owner of Hoffenheim's No. 9 jersey and the one he is about to surpass.
Without waiting for Ragne's introduction, Carlos walked directly to Varim and stood in front of him.
Varim looked up blankly.
Carlos pointed to Varim and said: "I will train hard and become a player worthy of the No. 9 jersey."
As soon as the voice fell, the entire locker room fell silent.
No one expected that Carloste would provoke Varim as soon as he joined.
Even Varim froze.
However, soon, Ranie laughed out loud.
"I finally understand why he chose 99. It turned out that he was staring at the No. 9 jersey." After finishing speaking, he winked at Varim; "Dude, you have an opponent!"
Varim looked helplessly at the captain, Ranie, and slowly got up, standing in front of Carlos.
Carlos, who is 1.8 meters tall, is a head shorter than Varim, who is 1.92 meters tall.
Varim stood in front of him like a wall and said: "Not everyone can wear the No. 9 jersey. I accept your challenge. If your performance is good, I don't mind taking the No. 9 jersey off." Come down, but the premise is that you must know how to carry the team forward!"
"30!"
"This last season, I handed over the report card. I scored 30 goals in the entire league, and these 30 goals also helped us reach the top of Germany!"
"If you are really capable, then try it!"
Varim patted him on the shoulder and left.
Others showed laughing expressions.
The Hoffenheim team has never had an uninterrupted rivalry.
Until now, Hoffenheim has been the survival of the fittest.
Just like Ludimod, who was once a core player, was still replaced by Habr.
As long as his performance is good enough, the coaching staff will not hesitate to use him.
In Hoffenheim, don't worry about not having a chance.
As long as he impresses the coaching staff with his performance in practice and in games, then he can get everything.
"Okay, guys, change your clothes and get ready for training. On the first day, Mr. Steven definitely doesn't want us to be late!" After a pause, Ranie continued to shout; "The first training must be a physical examination, those holiday indulgences People, you must be prepared to be punished."
Everyone chuckled, their smiles were full of confidence.
The result was the same. When the results of the physical examination came out, even Steven was stunned.
Everyone's physical indicators are qualified, even surprisingly good, almost the same as last season.
Even the injured Roquel completed adaptive training ahead of schedule during his recovery during the holidays.
Throughout the holiday, these guys hardly played much.
Of course, this is also understandable, after all, he was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Hoffenheim were just one step away from reaching the Champions League final, but they just couldn't.
This made all Hoffenheim players suffocate, and they vowed to make a comeback this season.
And under the encouragement of such conditions, how could they waste time.
Take Lei Ao and others as an example, before and after the wedding, he did not stop training.
It's like asking for a vacation in the middle to get married.
After getting married, he immediately devoted himself to training.
In fact, Hoffenheim players are very concerned about the loss of last season.
It's not like previous seasons where they were knocked out in the last eight of the Champions League.
They are still a long way from the final, and for this reason, there is not much emotion.
But this time is different, they have already won the first round, and it can be said that half of their feet have entered the final stage.
This gap makes them feel unacceptable, and it also motivates them to continue to grow.
They believe that this season's Hoffenheim must be stronger.
Because they have experienced too many things.
Failure, regret, helplessness, crying, etc...
And now, it's time for them to enjoy that thick honey!
