Chapter 266 Huo Village’s Miracle Attack Is an Inevitable Choice (1)

(Second more)

Hoffenheim's eight-match winning streak caught all the media by surprise. While the reporters were still discussing whether Hoffenheim had reached the end of their battle, Hoffenheim played double matches in the following week. Two consecutive 1860-11 knockouts in Augsburg and Greethoff, who also had an attempt to break into the first division, extended their winning streak to ten games, tying the ten-game winning streak maintained by Bundesliga Karlsruhe. Records, they also rose to second place in the league ranking, just one point behind Karlsruhe.In the last league game before the winter break, they will challenge Munich [-] away, working hard for the team's [-] consecutive victories.

In these two games, the number of goals scored by Hoffenheim dropped sharply, and they both won by the smallest score. After scoring six goals, Li Huan's goals also came to an abrupt end. Gersburg's goal directly assisted Gretterhof's goal, but compared with Karlsruhe, Li Huan's goals are declining. "Rhine Neckar Zeitung" revealed the reason. In the two games that just ended, the number of Li Huan's back row inserts was obviously much less than the previous eight games, but the running distance did not decrease. The distance was above 2000 meters every time, which means that Li Huan spent most of his energy on the defense of the backcourt.Statistics after the game also proved that Li Huan's long pass from the backcourt surpassed the bottom pass.However, the main reason for this situation is the decline in the physical strength of Hoffenheim's entire team. Although the crazy running for half a season brought Hoffenheim a crazy ten-game winning streak, it also made the players' physical strength worse. Almost overdrawn. In the last few games, it is obvious that the players tend to be distracted due to the decline in physical fitness and mental fatigue, and lack of concentration. Not concentrating is fatal, so Li Huan, who played six games less than his teammates, spent more time in the backcourt to help defend and help the midfielder sweep the opponent's offense, and spent more energy on defense.

But head coach Rangnick talked to Li Huan after the game against Kaiserslautern and told him to let him attack without worrying about the team's defense. Under his rule, Hoffenheim's style is to attack. He will change the team's style of play for the winning streak. One-to-zero doctrine is the belief of the Italians, and he will never change his style.But in these two games, Li Huan still went against his will and put his main energy on defense.However, because Li Huan not only stabilized the defense but also led and assisted two goals in his spare time, Lannick had no excuse to criticize Li Huan, and he hoped to communicate with Li Huan in private. When things are going well, you can’t let conflicts arise between yourself and Li Huan. Therefore, no matter in the press conference after the game or when the reporter interviewed alone, Rangnick always expressed his appreciation to Li Huan, saying that Li Huan was the winner of Hoffenheim. The biggest contributor to such a record now.

But in fact, Rangnick was not happy with Li Huan's behavior on the court, because Hoffenheim in the last two games was not the Hoffenheim he wanted. At the beginning of the season, he endured losing four games in a row, and he was able to put down his face to come to the regional amateur team from the Bundesliga. How could Rangnick care about the two games before the winter break, not to mention the team's signings The operation had already started a month ago. Once the winter transfer window opens, a large amount of fresh blood will flow to this small mountain village. He is not worried that Hoffenheim will lose the chain in the second half.Rangnick also complained to the boss Hope twice about this. The first time, Hope thought Rangnick was joking because the team had won nine consecutive victories at that time. Hope felt that something was wrong. One of these two was the coach, and the other was the soul of the team. He had to hurry and call them together to communicate to avoid any misunderstanding between them.

This is the first time Li Huan sat drinking and chatting with Hope and Lannick after coming to Hoffenheim. This small bar called Hope is one of the few high-end consumer places in Hoffenheim Village. People in the village rarely come here for consumption. Apart from being expensive, it is also too quiet for young people, and the elderly prefer to stay at home.

Hope smiled and personally invited his right-hand men to give him a hug, and said: "Let's celebrate today. The team has won ten consecutive victories. You have contributed the most. I was thinking a year ago, if the two of you can What kind of situation will be together, now I see, that is invincible."

Rangnick said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "The credit should belong to Li Huan. Now Hoffenheim has almost become his team alone."

Li Huan is such a smart person, he immediately smelled the strange smell in the air, he said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. His strength is in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga Bundesliga, and coach Rangnick has been able to train him to this level, which is really amazing."

Hope said with a smile, "It's all from my own family, why are you still saying such polite words and compliments? We're here today, we're just sitting together and having a heart-to-heart chat. The winter break is about to begin, and you guys also tell me about yours. idea."

Li Huan felt that the strange smell was getting stronger, because the winter break started, he should go home to rest, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with him, if he wants to talk, Jan Schindelmaiser should be sitting in his seat , not him as a player.

Of course Lannick understood Hope's meaning, he drank the wine in the glass slowly, let the spicy whiskey flow from his throat to his stomach, and then took out a piece of paper full of names and data and spread it on the table , Said: "This is the candidate I have delineated. I hope that it is best to attract them during the winter break. Now it seems that we have great hopes of being promoted to the Bundesliga. I hope to be able to recruit new players in the second half of the Bundesliga. Aid and the team run in."

Hope picked it up and looked at it, and said: "Eduardo is good, and his skills are very good. Compared with Orhoff, Demba Ba not only has an advantage in height and header speed, but also has stronger skills than him. Yaisle is too young. Yes, I’m afraid I’ll have to exercise for a while after the transfer. Nigeria’s Obasi is pretty good, about the same as Li Huan, and has super physical strength. But this Ibisevic doesn’t seem to have any characteristics...”

Li Huan heard Ibisevic's heart move, and couldn't help but said: "This person is not bad, there is inspiration in front of the door."

Lannick was taken aback, and said strangely: "You know him too, he has a shooter's instinct, but Aachen's style of play is not suitable for him, Olhoff is almost the same type as him, but Olhoff's skills It’s too rough, but the important thing is that it’s not expensive, and it’s estimated that you can get it for twenty euros.”

Hope carefully browsed the list, and the reason why the drug was transferred, and said: "You and Jan Schindelmaiser should study this carefully, I am not familiar with most of the people above, but I believe in your vision, don't worry , The money you didn’t spend this summer, I’ll give it to you now, buy it with confidence, as long as they’re willing to come.”

Rangnick smiled and said: "We are hopeful to advance now. Most of these people are not doing well in the team. It is not a big problem to come to Hoffenheim. But we must not pay high prices, otherwise these clubs will treat us like Chelsea. gone."

Hope said: "That's right, we have money, but we can't spend it indiscriminately. But what I worry about is whether the team's major changes during the winter break will cause the team's performance to decline. After all, we have won ten consecutive victories. With a brilliant record, they suddenly replaced players who played well, so they would have no resentment in their hearts."

Rangnick smiled slightly and said: "Of course they will have grievances, but we can gradually integrate these players. With the current group of players, we will definitely not be able to support the second half. Maybe we will be lucky enough to enter the Bundesliga. , but if we don’t want to come back after seeing the Bundesliga, we must prepare early. The competition in the Bundesliga is much more brutal than the Bundesliga. It will not give us time to adapt. If we start preparing from the summer transfer, it will definitely be late Yes, I have observed the Bundesliga data in the past ten years, and there must be one or two relegated teams for the newly promoted team." Speaking of this, Lannick glanced at Li Huan and said: "Actually, I can accept the defeat in the last two games, but in the end we Still won."

After hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but said: "Why accept defeat if you can win. Defensive counterattack is actually a good choice for weak teams."

Rangnick smiled slightly and said: "Defensive counterattack is a good tactical choice for Hoffenheim now, especially with you and Sarihovic. In fact, many of our goals are counterattacks. Yes, I think most of the coaches will choose defensive counterattack after taking over Hoffenheim, and they will definitely achieve results, but why should I choose the very difficult offensive football? In fact, you can ask Mr. Hope , this is the result of our discussions when Mr. Hope invited me."

Hope laughed and said: "Li Huan, in fact, I invite you two to talk here today, just to let you communicate, let you understand our plan, and understand why a country team like us chooses offensive football. Instead of playing defensive counterattacks, as Lannick said, with your speed and Sarihovic's pass, defensive counterattacks are definitely a very simple matter, and it is really difficult for these people who came from the German third to play offensive football. We’re going above and beyond.”

Li Huan didn't understand, and asked, "Is this choice still necessary?"

Rangnick and Hope nodded and said, "Of course. Because Hoffenheim's goal is to become a giant team like Bayern."
