Chapter 285 Huo Village Miracle 800 Bench
(Second update, asking for a monthly pass)

The last day of training before the Hoffenheim game was much more serious than before. It was rare to hear young players passing their opponents or laughing wantonly after a successful shot on the court, and there was basically no sarcasm and sarcasm about teammates’ mistakes. Ridiculous, everyone is practicing hard, striving to have an outstanding performance to be recognized by the head coach.The first round after the winter break can even determine everyone's future fate. Both young and old players know that the starting lineup for this half of the season will not be cleaned up in a large area after reaching the Bundesliga. Performance is much more important to players than the first half.

Konetka on the sidelines faithfully recorded everything that happened on the training ground with a camera, and then analyzed the data when the players were resting, such as the number of passes, shots, steals, clearances, assists, running distance, etc. After each stage of training, it will be handed over to the head coach Rangnick. This is what Rangnick requested, because he hopes to get the specific data of himself and his opponent during the intermission of each official game. Then use this as a basis to determine the status of the players and the starting lineup for the game.

The first game against Casjena was crucial, they lost the away game against Casjena in the first half, after that, it took them six rounds to get their first win, this time they didn't have the first half With so much time wasted, the competition will become more intense. They don't have much time to correct their mistakes. The best way is to make full preparations before the game.Use the best players to match the best lineup to play the game, and this is what Rangnick has to do now.

At noon, Rangnick called all his coaching staff to the office. In addition, he invited Peters, the sports director, to negotiate together. Konetka has already counted the training data of all players within a week, and he can turn on the computer. Displayed directly across from Lannick's office on the huge electronic tactical board.

Lannick first put a green check mark behind the data of Li Huan and Haas, and said: "They passed directly, no need to study."

No one on the coaching staff objected, because Li Huan ranked among the top three in almost all statistics this week, and the statistics related to guards were all number one. Whether he is Hope's confidant or not, regardless of whether Hope gives him a Mercedes-Benz, such a player must start, unless he wants to hide him.

And Haas is the only goalkeeper that Hoffenheim can take. He has no competitors at all. Even if he is not in good condition, he can only be allowed to play. The team is now planning to introduce another player, but they are optimistic about Sars Fort Red Bull goalkeeper Ozcan will not come over until the end of the season.

The third one to pass was Sarihovic. He didn't have as many people in the midfield as Eduardo, and he didn't have as many steals as Weiss, but he ranked first in passing, and like Li Huan, he was very stable and had the ball The old man of the team, such a player can stabilize the morale of the army on the court.

There is not much room for conversion at the left back position. Loew is the only one who lacks competitors. The more controversial ones are the central defender, midfielder and forward line.

The newly elected captain Tebel is stable and reliable, with a balanced offense and defense. Although he cannot be found in the top few, he must be in the top ten. Besides, he should also occupy a place in the starting lineup in terms of spirit.

Although the young player Weiss who just transferred is good at defense, brave and tenacious, the coaching staff is optimistic about his defensive ability in the midfield, but the midfielder Zeral is more stable than Weiss, and Weiss is better as a substitute, but The data show that Weiss's performance in the last week is almost the same as that of Zelar.

And another troublesome character is the standard king Eduardo during the winter break. His offensive ability is the most outstanding, and it is even rarer.
The most important thing is that he has creativity and imagination that neither Sarihović nor Tebel have.But his defensive ability is useless, better than nothing. For Lannick, who likes to play oppressively, this is a big shortcoming.

Whether to arrange a stable combination of Tebel, Salihovic, and Zeral in the midfield, or an offensive combination of Salihovic, Zeral, and Eduardo, or simply put four players in the midfield and four players in the midfield In other words, the striker can only have two spots, but now the four strikers have performed very well in the midfield, and it seems a bit wasteful to play three.

As for the position of central defender, because of the well-known contradictions between Matthias and Rangnick, Seitz occupies a spot, and now it has become a competition between two teenagers, Jankel and Jaisler. Individual height, weight, and technical performance are very similar, and even Rangnick can't make a choice. In the end, he had to decide the final starting list after a group match in the afternoon.

The starting list that was originally scheduled to be announced to the players in the afternoon was postponed. The players immediately understood the importance of the match in the afternoon. The fans and reporters watched it very enjoyable and couldn't stop cheering for the fans.

Eduardo, who was on the main side, stunned Zerall and Jankel twice in a row with dazzling dribbling in the midfield. Once he was knocked over by Weiss who was defending when he broke into the penalty area and got a penalty. He took a free kick, although his dribbling was a bit too much, but Eduardo was not selfish when it was time to pass the ball. The only thing missing was the defense. Rangnick, who has always advocated offense, immediately decided to put four players in the midfield, and only Zerar was one. Is a full-time guard, three offensive players.

In the competition among the four forwards, Demba Ba, Obasi, Ibisevic and Koppado, Ibisevic and the veteran Koppado were recognized by the coaching staff, and the two blacks, Demba Ba and Obasi, were eager to make contributions The performance is a bit impatient and a bit independent. In this important game, facing Hoffenheim, which has won 11 consecutive victories, Casiena, who is behind in points, will definitely strengthen the defense. They need forwards with better ability to seize opportunities.

After the group match, the assistant coach Rangnick announced the starting lineup for tomorrow's game. Goalkeeper Haas, left back Loew, right back Li Huan, center backs Seitz and Yaisler, midfielders Salihovic, Zelar, Tebel and Eduardo, forwards Koppardo and Ibisevic.

Ibisevic never thought that he would win the competition with Demba Ba and Obasi. His transfer fee was only 100 million euros, while Demba Ba was 300 million euros, and Obasi was as high as 500 million euros. The coach let the 800 million euro player sit on the bench, but let him start. How much trust is this? Ibisevic put his arms around Sarihovic next to him and shouted: "God, is this true? ?”

Saryhovic was also very happy that his compatriot got the chance to start, and said: "Congratulations, Wei Dade, I hope you can really become the great Ibisevic that Li Huan said."

On the other side, the two black forwards stretched their black faces. They had a bad feeling before the training was over, because they wasted too many opportunities in the game, and they were too anxious. Hum's fans proved that their transfer fee was not wasted, they were worth their money, but the result was worse.

Li Huan patted the shoulders of the two dejected black men, winked at them, and said: "Don't be sad, isn't it still a substitute? There will definitely be a chance to play. Otherwise, the head coach will not be able to explain to the fans. For you Say, 15 minutes is enough."

Demba Ba said with a mournful face: "You won 11 consecutive victories in the first half, what's the point of us playing in garbage time."

Weiss said on the side: "We can't admit defeat, the second half has just begun."

But Obasi kept his face dark and silent, and he couldn't accept it in his heart.

Li Huan glanced at Weiss approvingly, and said in a low voice: "The old guy has physical problems, and he won't last in the final stage of the first half. You have a great opportunity, so you can't give up, otherwise you will regret it."

Demba Ba opened his mouth and said, "Li, you are really a good person. If I score a goal, please go to the bar."

'Damn it, here's a good card for me. Li Huan said: "Okay, I'll remember. Don't break your promise. Please enter once."

Demba Ba didn't know what to do, and said: "Okay, anyway, my scoring efficiency is very poor."

In Lannick's starting lineup, there are six old men and five newcomers, and the proportion of old men is slightly more, and two heavyweight signings Obasi and Demba Ba are also sitting on the bench, which makes Hofen The old players of Heim have a lot of balance. Think about Obasi, who is worth 500 million transfers, only sitting on the bench, and think about the fact that captain Matthias has withdrawn from the first team. How can they dare to complain? Yes, unless they also want to retire early, or go to the second team.

After the "Rheine Neckar Zeitung" announced the starting lineup, most of the outside media and fans gloated over Hoffenheim's extravagant practices, thinking that the waste of Obasi and Demba Ba on the bench was entirely due to Rangnick being burned out by the victory The head, 800 million euros, has caught up with the transfer fee for the entire winter break of the Bundesliga.If the team can't win again, there will be excitement to watch later.There are also a few people who think that Rangnick is trying to balance the team to prevent the dissatisfaction of the old players from getting worse. Demba Ba and Obasi will definitely appear in the starting lineup in the near future.Rangnick did not suffer less in this area when he was at Schalke 04, and he should have learned some lessons this time.

The coach of Casjena, Newx, can only express envy for this. He said at the press conference before the game that the current Hoffenheim and the Hoffenheim they defeated are completely different teams. One of Hoffenheim's substitutes can buy their whole team, and he can be added as a bishop.They did not plan to beat Hoffenheim in the away game, and they were satisfied to end Hoffenheim's winning streak.
