Chapter 393 Huo Cun's miracle advances to the group stage

The game was over when Li Huan scored the second goal. Rather than saying that scoring three goals in 15 minutes was an impossible task for Rapid Bucharest, it would be better to say that Li Huan's long-distance attack completely shattered the game. Without the confidence of the Romanians, if they can't stop Li Huan, they can't stop Hoffenheim's progress. They haven't found a way to stop Li Huan.

After the referee Jonathan blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Hoffenheim players forgot their physical fatigue and rushed to the stands cheering. Everyone stood together to express their gratitude to the fans. These fans are all Hoffenheim fans. Although they did not participate in the competition in person, it was their uncomplaining and unrepentant following that made the Hoffenheim players who participated in the European war for the first time full of confidence and desire for victory.

Hoffenheim fans chanted "Hoffenheim" for a while, and sang and danced in the stands for a while. The German countrymen in Baden-Württemberg are all good at singing and dancing. They not only sang Hoffenheim's team song, Also composed songs to praise the players.

The happiness of the visiting team contrasted with the loss and sadness of the home team. Rapid Bucharest locked in the defeat early, so that the fans of the home team didn't even have the heart to make trouble after the game. They scolded Hoffenheim and Li Huan after a few words. They left the stadium resentfully. The players of the home team walked faster than the fans. As soon as the game ended, they left quickly. The reporters who wanted to interview them were also pushed away roughly. It was a very unpleasant 90 minutes for them. The quarter-finals of the last season were actually lost to a rookie who was playing in Europe for the first time. What face do they have to be interviewed.

After the big victory, Li Huan was finally no longer bound by the club's news, and the press officer Marcus accompanied Li Huan to accept interviews with reporters on the spot.

The team won, and he scored a beautiful goal. Li Huan was in a great mood. When he was being interviewed, he still had the heart to joke with the reporters, so that the reporters who were afraid of Li Huan's poisonous tongue were relieved, so I asked The question becomes more interesting.

"Bild": "Scored two beautiful goals, are you very excited, I think you forgot to take off your jersey to get a yellow card?"

Li Huan: "Yellow card, compared to that goal, yellow card is nothing, I know I have to get a card, but I still have to take it off."

"Bild": "Didn't you expect to score today? Why don't you wear underwear inside?"

Li Huan: "What's the point of taking off my underwear? I take it off because I like it, not for anyone to see. I'm too lazy to show off."

"Bucharest Express": "Why do you run naked before the game if you don't score? Aren't you putting on a show?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "Coach Bergdi said that if you don't advance, get out of class, this is teasing us. It would be meaningless if we keep a low profile. The UEFA Cup is a big stage, so I want to create some interesting topics for everyone to watch. Have fun even when the competition is intense.”

"Ball" reporter Jia Lei: "You were harassed by fans of the home team the night before the game. Did this affect your performance during the game?"

Li Huan: "Harassment? You can't say harassment. It costs money to go to a concert to listen to songs and dances. Romanians sing and dance for us for free. It's too late for us to thank you. How can you say harassment. Does it affect you and see the competition? knew."

"Rhine Neckar Zeitung": "Hoffenheim entered the group stage for the first time in Europe. What are your goals for this season?"

Li Huan scratched his head and said, "Goal? I haven't had time to formulate it yet. I guess the coaching staff will have to work overtime tonight. Just wait for my call."

The reporters laughed.

"The Sun": "Sun Hai in the Premier League likes to eat Chinese food during important games. Do you have this habit?"

Li Huan looked up and saw that it was a reporter from the British "Sun". He smiled and said, "I don't care about my pre-match diet. I can eat whatever I have, but Chinese and Western food are better than nutritious meals."

"The Sun": "Are you interested in playing in the Premier League in the future?"

Li Huan: "Not yet, maybe in the future, but I'm not sure, I'm not sure."

"The Sun": You came out 10 minutes late at half-time, can you talk about what happened in the dressing room? "

Li Huan said as if nothing had happened: "Everyone is discussing tactics, and the discussion took a little longer."

"Kicker": "If you didn't score in this game, would you really run naked? Did you consider the impact when you said it?"

Li Huan: "Football doesn't need to assume, I scored a goal, if I really ran naked, you should look at it with an artistic eye, and don't think of me as a exhibitionist."

"Kicker": "What is the worst record you can accept in the UEFA Cup?"

Li Huan: "Final eight."

"Kicker": Why is it the quarterfinals? "

Li Huan: "Because we beat the quarterfinals."

Seeing that the other players had already returned to the locker room, the press officer Marcus stopped the reporter's increasing interest in interviewing, and protected Li Huan to go back. These reporters did not have a clue until twelve o'clock at night. .

In the subsequent press conference, Belgdi fulfilled his promise on the field and announced his decision to resign as the head coach of Bucharest Rapid Team on the spot, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the support of the fans. Not scoring is something we could not have imagined before the start of the season, and it is also unacceptable to the fans. This is not the fault of the players. The responsibility is on me. I am already a little physically and mentally exhausted in this position. It is time to go back and take a rest. I believe the club will Find a better coach than me.

The players played very well in the first half of this game. If the game hadn't just ended at halftime, maybe we could have scored more goals, and the result would have been different. Hoffenheim's tactical arrangement today was very successful. The Germans have always been very good at tactics, but I think our failure today is mainly due to the loss at the feet of China's Li. His performance is too good. He is worthy of China's Beckenbauer. Congratulations to the fast team and congratulations to Hoffenheim for their promotion.goodbye. "

Bergdi got up and left the press conference hall after speaking. The expression on his face was sad and nostalgic. This was the last time he held a press conference here. He had the opportunity to stay, but God chose Let Hoffenheim advance.

Lannick looked at the heavy back of Bergdi, and felt a sense of sympathy in his heart. He was dismissed from Schalke 04 in the same way back then. He knew how Bergdi felt. The professional game is so cruel, you must accept it at any time. He is no exception to the fate of leaving get out of class.

"Thanks to the fans, thanks to the players, we won a tough victory! For newcomers, the first time is always very difficult, luckily, we survived and reached the group stage, we will have more to come opportunity to exercise. Lannick said with emotion.

"The Romanian team plays different football from the German team. They are more delicate. This made us a little uncomfortable when we played in the European game for the first time. We lost an away goal in the first game. This game We scored two goals in the game, but the players performed very well and had strong adaptability on the court. We responded very well in the second half. Li Huan scored two goals, one with an upside down golden hook and one with a long distance They are all very beautiful. I have to say that we are very lucky. We will cultivate a world-class star. However, the following games are still very difficult. We are newly promoted and mainly focus on the league. We have no goal in the UEFA Cup. Wherever you go, I hope the reporter will be more tolerant of Hoffenheim's future games. Finally, I would like to thank the Hoffenheim fans who came to watch the game. This is the first time Hoffenheim has played abroad. Our courage and strength."

Hoffenheim advanced to the first European knockout match with a total score of 5:3. Li Huan scored three goals in his first European competition, and Hoffenheim won two consecutive victories.In the other three German UEFA Cup contests that ended later, Bayern beat Belenlens of the Portuguese Super League 2:0 away, and Hamburg beat Bulgaria's Leitex 3:1. Only Leverkusen lost in the away game. They lost 2:3 to Liara in the Portuguese Super League, but because Leverkusen won 5-4 at home in the first round, they still advanced with a total score of [-]:[-].

The group stage where all four German teams advanced to the UEFA Cup was unexpected by the German media before the game, because Hamburg came out of the Toto Cup, and because Hoffenheim was a newly promoted team, many media believed that they would not I will put too much energy in the UEFA Cup, so I am not optimistic about them.But the result of the game surprised the media. Hoffenheim and Hamburg had an easier path to advancement than Leverkusen and Bayern, especially Hoffenheim, whose offensive power was also fierce in the knockout round of the European war. Unusually, attacking football fascinates European football fans even outside of Germany.

In the Champions League, which has attracted more attention, the performance of the three German teams is not optimistic. Werder Bremen lost 1:3 to Olympiacos in Greece at home, and Stuttgart lost 0 at home. :2 Lost to the thriving Barcelona, ​​only Schalke 04, who was slaughtered by Hoffenheim with five goals, seemed to be enlightened. They beat Norway's Rosenberg with 2 goals in the away game, saving a little face for German football, but Because they lost to Valencia at home, and Valencia lost to Chelsea at home, Schalke 04's prospects for qualifying are extremely slim.

The results of the Champions Cup and the UEFA Cup proved that Germany's mid-range teams are very strong, but the gap between the top teams and the European giants is further widening. When Bayern was struggling to play in the UEFA Cup, there was no team. Able to carry the banner of the Bundesliga.
