Chapter 453 The Miracle of Huo Village Returns to Karlsruhe

If there is a team in Germany that Li Huan is least willing to face, it must be Karlsruhe.

Karlsruhe is the place where Li Huan's dream started. There are his good friends, respected coaches, and fans who still support and love him after he left.Facing such a team, it is hard for Li Huan to imagine how he will feel after scoring a goal.

"If there is a way for both sides to win the game, I will try to find it."

This is what Li Huan said when a reporter from Karlsruhe asked him which team he would prefer to win. There was no affectation at all, and there was no public-private style like Westerners. In fact, in Li Huan’s heart, the two teams The team is very emotional.

However, Hoffenheim's coach Rangnick later interpreted Li Huan's words in the media. He said: "Many Chinese media say that Li Huan is very different. In fact, he is a very humane Chinese. He often talks with Karl now. Sruhe's teammate contact, but he is also a very dedicated professional player, he understands what to do in the game, now is the most important moment in Hoffenheim's 100-year history, he will help the team win, three Champions, this is the dream of all of us, we have worked hard for a season, and now it should be rewarded."

At this moment, the injured Demba Ba and Yaisler also stood up to support the team to win the Bundesliga championship. Demba Ba said in an interview with reporters at his home, "Whether Bayern can win or not, we must win all the games. For us, we must never lose against Bayern, we are the strongest in the Bundesliga. Unfortunately, I am injured and cannot help my teammates, but don't worry about the team not scoring goals. Both Ibisevic and Obasi It's a good job, of course Li Huan is the real game finisher, he is like a game cheat. I believe he will lead the team to win the championship."

Jaisler also expressed optimism about the team's victory over Karlsruhe. He said: "Karlsruhe's performance this season is very amazing, but we performed better. They were our men in the second division. The loser, now our strength has been greatly improved, as long as we play normally, beating them is not more difficult than beating Bayern, but we must put aside the pressure from the outside world, otherwise we will not be able to play at our own level."

Karlsruhe is not willing to lose this same-state derby subjectively, but objectively, they also have to fight for the UEFA Cup seat. Now they are ranked sixth and can participate in the Toto Cup next season. However, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Wolfsburg behind are all staring at the top six positions. If they want to keep their seats in the Toto Cup and dream of going further, they must win Hoffenheim.

For this game, the Karlsruhe soldiers attached great importance to it. The midfielder Hajnaur expressed their determination to beat Hoffenheim in the derby. He believed that although Hoffenheim was stronger, But the atmosphere of the derby and the advantage at home will make them perform better. As long as Karlsruhe is united, Hoffenheim is not invincible. "I hope we are the first team to beat Hoffenheim," Hajnaur said.

The captain of Karlsruhe, Egina, expressed awe towards Hoffenheim, and at the same time reminded his teammates to go back and think back to the days when they played against Li Huan, so that they would understand what attitude and method to use to defend Li Huan.When evaluating his former teammate, Egina said: "Li Huan is so special. In my opinion, he is at the level of Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi. The reason why he is not so famous , mainly because he played in the Bundesliga, in Karlsruhe and Hoffenheim. If he had been in teams like Real Madrid and Manchester United, he would have been famous all over the world. I have always been in awe and gratitude to Li Huan , he helped me a lot when I was in Karlsruhe, he made me understand that the responsibility of a defender is not only to defend, but also to take responsibility for attacking."

When the reporter mentioned the transfer of Li Huan to Hoffenheim, Egina said: "The departure of Li Huan and Federico hit us hard, but looking back is a cowardly act. We should pay attention to our own. In the future, isn’t our performance now equally good? Hajnaur has scored 7 goals and 8 assists, and his performance is also world-class.”

The distance between Hoffenheim and Karlsruhe is less than [-] kilometers, and it only takes less than an hour to take a bus. Hoffenheim does not need to go to Karlsruhe in advance. They only need to arrive at Karlsruhe on the day of the game. Sruhe's Wilderpark Stadium will do. On the night before the game, Li Huan talked with his friend Capalani on the phone as he did before the game against Karlsruhe.

After getting on the phone, Capalani joked, "Li, you are not begging me to release the water, are you?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "You can set a price, how many glasses of beer are needed to release the water."

Capalani said: "Li Huan, you are a big star now, be careful that your phone is monitored, and create another Bundesliga phone door."

Li Huan laughed and said, "After Italy's Telegate, Italy won the World Cup in 06. If the Bundesliga had a Telegate, maybe Germany could win this year."

Capalani heard the German team, not only brought up the old topic again, said: "Li, I can't figure out why you don't join the German team. I came to visit from Loew, and the chairman Zwanziger called you. You actually refused one by one..."

Li Huan interrupted Capalani's words and said, "Forget about the national team, it's boring. By the way, after the game, you can gather your friends and have a dinner together."

Capalani said: "I have already discussed this with Egina and Miller, but Miller said that if you dare to score more than three goals, he will not go to eat with you."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing, and said, "He still cares about saving face."

Capalani said: "Of course, otherwise, how could you have fought with Kanel some time ago? If you were with Federico, this situation would definitely not happen."

Li Huan said: "Federico is a little depressed, and has been sitting on the bench in Dortmund."

Capalani said: "At that time, Miller, Egina and I both persuaded him, but he just didn't listen. Everyone has his own ambitions. There is no way. In fact, he is different from you. He is a team player and left us. With this tactical system, it will be difficult for him to display his abilities. I advised him to return to Karlsruhe, but he was unwilling to come back because of face."

Li Huan said: "He is looking to see if there is still a chance. If it is not possible, he may leave, but he may not return to Karlsruhe. If it is me, I will not come back."

Capalani said: "You want to win the championship, and we want to play the UEFA Cup. The game will definitely not be as gentle as the last game. A few new guys are still discussing how to kick you two days ago. Be careful. "

Li Huan said lightly: "If I was afraid of kicking, I would have stopped playing football a long time ago. If I want to play, I have to be able to play football."

Capalani said embarrassingly: "You can only foul a player like you."

Li Huan said with a smile: "Foul be careful with my free kick."

Capalani smiled and said, "We can't talk any more, and the secrets of tactics will be exposed if we talk any more."

Li Huan said: "Well, catch up after the game."

After Li Huan hung up the call with Capalani, he immediately received a call from Li Jing. Li Jing said with some dissatisfaction, "Who are you talking on the phone with? It took so long?"

With the battle approaching, Li Huan had no intention of joking, and said, "Capalani, my teammate in Karlsruhe."

Li Jingdao: "Oh, I want to ask you something. The real estate company has already opened up. I think the real estate industry is showing an upward trend. Is it possible to inject funds to expand the scale?"

Li Huan said: "What does Chen Lian mean?"

Li Jingdao: "Chen Lian also thinks so."

Li Huan said: "No need, just leave it like this for now, as long as it can last."

Li Jingdao: "Why, how can you fight Liu Ming if you don't grow up?"

Li said confidently: "The opportunity hasn't come yet, don't worry, just listen to me."

Li Jing's trust in Li Huan was almost blind, and he said, "Okay then, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you?"

Li Huan said: "What's the matter?"

Li Jingdao: "I want to watch your last championship game. You can see if it's okay. I don't want to watch you reach the first peak of your career here. I want to share your happiness."

Li Huan scratched his head and said: "No problem, I will prepare tickets for you. Yes, you can come three days in advance. The final of the UEFA Cup is held three days before the last league game. If we can reach the final, it is just right for you We watched the game together."

Li Jing cheered excitedly like a little girl, and blew a kiss to Li Huan, saying, "It's great, I can finally relax for a while."

Li Huan was touched for a while. Li Jing paid more for him than other women, but he spent the least amount of time with her. You have fun, travel by car, and drive around Germany, Austria, France, and Italy."

Li Jing shook his head and said: "There are a lot of things in the company, and I don't have so much time. I can watch your games in Germany. If you want to travel, wait until you retire. Well, Ren Feng will go with me too."

After retiring!Li Huan sighed and said, "Okay."

Li Jing said: "You have to compete tomorrow, so take a rest."

Li Jing took the initiative to hang up the phone, but Li Huan held the phone but didn't close his eyes for a long time, the most difficult thing to bear is the beauty, if there are several beauties, it is even more difficult to bear.

The next afternoon, Hoffenheim's luxury bus drove from Hoffenheim Village to Karlsruhe. They will play a key game against Karlsruhe at 07:30 in the evening. Time, Bayern Munich is playing against the underdog Bielefeld at home. The difference between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich is only two points before the game. Even, although Hoffenheim still has a 5 goal difference advantage, if Bayern wins by a big score, it is likely to overtake Hoffenheim and become the leader of the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim is the most popular team in the Bundesliga, and Li Huan is the most popular star in the Bundesliga. When Hoffenheim’s bus drove into downtown Karlsruhe, thousands of fans were already waiting on both sides of the avenue When they arrived, some of these fans held a portrait of Li Huan in their hands, some held flowers, and some parents took their children and waited in front of Li Huan with a diary. Thousands of people cheered Li Huan's name together, and the atmosphere was very touching.

This situation is very different from the impolite treatment that many national stars return to their old clubs after transferring.The people of Baden regard the emergence of stars as a gift from heaven. They regard the stars who have achieved greater achievements after leaving as the pride of Karlsruhe. When Kahn, Sauer and other superstars came to Karlsruhe, they were also praised. The warm welcome of the fans, so that Kahn once said emotionally that his return to Karlsruhe is like a son returning to his mother's arms.

Li Huan received such a welcome when he came to Karlsruhe for the last two games, so Rangnick led the team to set off an hour earlier in order to allow Li Huan to leave time for these fans to communicate.

Li Huan was also deeply moved. Many professional players are reluctant to leave the stadium, not only because playing football can bring them money and honor, but also bring them happiness and dignity. Adoring and liking yourself, that kind of satisfaction that money can't buy.

It took Hoffenheim's bus an hour to arrive at Wilder Park, most of which was spent by Li Huan signing autographs and taking photos for the fans who came to welcome him.

The players took a break in the dressing room, and Rangnick attended the pre-match press conference.

Hundreds of reporters have gathered in the press conference hall of Weir's Park Stadium. The two coaches have not yet arrived. The reporters are discussing in a low voice, speaking in German, Chinese, English, and Spanish. The hall is noisy. This contest between big and small dark horses not only attracted German media, but many Chinese media also sent special personnel to interview on the spot. In addition, there were reporters from Scotland, where Hoffenheim's UEFA Cup opponent Glasgow Rangers is located.

The coach of the visiting team, Lannick, first came to the press conference hall, and the reporter immediately fell silent, readying the camera, microphone, and recording pen for the interview.

After two or three minutes, the coach of the home team, Becker, arrived. He is a typical Baden stateman with a more easy-going personality than Lennick. He apologized to Lennick for his late arrival. Then he started his pre-match speech.

"Hoffenheim is the leader of the league. They have not been beaten by any team in the Bundesliga. In fact, if you look further, you will find that they have not played since the winter break last season. It is a terrifying fact that we have been defeated in the league. Now there are only three rounds before the end of the league, and Hoffenheim is very likely to set a record of winning the championship with an unbeaten record. Of course, if we can beat Hoffenheim, we will It became the first team in the Bundesliga to beat Hoffenheim. This is an honor and a challenge.

Before the game, many media hyped the term Derby. In fact, I think it is unnecessary. Even if it is not a Derby, Karlsruhe and Hoffenheim must win this game. We all have our own goals.

There must be a name that has to be mentioned in the match between Hoffenheim and Karlsruhe, Li Huan. I am very pleased that he has rapidly grown into a world-class influential star in Hoffenheim, but I think he will continue to improve potential.

Both Hoffenheim and Karlsruhe rely on the overall team, but the role of stars is also irreplaceable, just like Li Huan and Hajnaul, their performance affects the team's performance.Many fans and reporters think that Li Huan played in Karlsruhe, so we will have a way to deal with him. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. It is impossible for a real star to be watched by the whole audience. Creativity and imagination It's the characteristic of a star player, you can't imagine how they will get rid of you and score a goal.In this game, I only hope that Li Huan's role can be minimized, so that we can achieve the desired result. "

Karlsruhe is different from Hoffenheim. I will not always emphasize more on offense or defense, but to decide according to the specific situation on the field. The ultimate goal of football games is to win, and the job of the coach is to revolve around victory. Expand. "

After Becker spoke, Rangnick also talked about his views on the game, "This is a game that cannot be lost. We made some mistakes a while ago and lost our absolute advantage in points. Now we are only two points away from Bayern. The difference in points, this gap must not be narrowed before the match with Bayern, otherwise we will be very passive.

Karlsruhe is a strong team, not only Hajnauer and Egina are very dazzling, all their players played very well, we have not taken advantage of them, but today we have to win In this game, no matter how difficult the process is, we must win in the end.

We can get so many points and win so many victories, indeed I did not expect it myself.But now that we have reached this point, we have no other choice. Our goal can only be the championship. This is the best season for Hoffenheim. We don’t know if there will be such an opportunity in the future. We must grasp it God's gift to us. "

After the two coaches spoke, it was time for reporters to ask questions. The reporter from Karlsruhe first asked Rangnick: "Coach Rangnick, do you think that if Hoffenheim didn't buy Li Huan from Karlsruhe, you would have achieved today's success?" grades?"

Rangnick smiled slightly and said calmly: "There are no assumptions in football. In fact, you can also say, if Hoffenheim does not have Rangnick, would Hoffenheim have the current results without Hope."

The Karlsruhe reporter continued the question in a different way, saying: "Then do you think Karlsruhe can achieve the same success as Hoffenheim if Karlsruhe has Li Huan?"

Rangnick still smiled and said, "You should ask Coach Becker about this."

The Karlsruhe reporter was very aggressive and continued: "Two-thirds of Hoffenheim's main lineup was poached from Stuttgart, Freiburg and Karlsruhe. Today you mentioned Hay again. Naul and Egina, will Hoffenheim attack them?"

Lannick smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have to buy whatever I praise? But thank you for reminding me."

Jia Lei stood up and asked Becker: "Coach Becker, do you think that if Li Huan stayed in Karlsruhe, he would still be able to achieve what he is now?"

Becker said very implicitly: "Gold shines everywhere. Karlsruhe's current results are not bad without Li Huan."

Jia Lei continued: "In today's game, will you use man-to-man defense against Li Huan?"

Becker smiled and said, "Do you think man-to-man defense against Li Huan is effective?"

A British reporter stood up and said: "Then what tactics are you going to use against Hoffenheim?"

Becker said: "This is a secret, but you will be able to see it from the game in a while."

After the press conference, Hoffenheim had a simple warm-up and adaptation at the Wilderpark Stadium, and then went back to the locker room to rest. In the player tunnel, Li Huan met the Karlsruhe players. He originally The old teammates greeted Li Huan one after another. Martins, who had become the main force of the team, pulled Li Huan affectionately by the arm and asked Li Huan to go to their locker room. Surrounded by Gina and Capalani, they entered the home team's locker room.

The arrival of Li Huan shocked Hayinauer, Glitz, Tim and other new foreign players this season. They were the first players to see their opponents in the locker room.Seeing his teammates chatting happily with Li Huan, the defender Glitz, who was loaned from Bayern, was a little unhappy. Dao: Captain, this is not good, how can we let the opponent's players come to our locker room before the game? "

Martins has always regarded Li Huan as his big brother. Hearing this, he was unhappy and said, "Why not? We are opponents on the field and friends off the field. Can we still give up the ball because of this?"

Li Huan didn't want Karlsruhe to have internal strife because of himself, so he patted Martins on the shoulder and said, "Stop talking, I didn't think carefully." He smiled at Glitz and said, "Don't worry, I'm here In the afternoon, we will definitely win the last three games, and you will win the next two games."

"It's not up to you at the Wilderpark." Hajnaur, who has been silent all the time, spoke. The 1.6-meter-45 Haynauer is the core of Karlsruhe's midfielder. He spent [-] this season Euro moved from Kaiserslautern to Karlsruhe and was hailed as Karlsruhe's new Hassler just half a season later.However, after he came to Karlsruhe, he was repeatedly compared with Li Huan by the fans and media, and his teammates worshiped Li Huan like an idol, which made him full of inexplicable resentment towards Li Huan. He couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Li Huan didn't care.He smiled and said, "Okay, then let's see you on the field."
