Chapter 496 Huo Village's Miracle Hoffenheim's Defense (1)

In the afternoon, Manchester City had turned into a sea of ​​blue. The sky blue of Zenit and the dark blue of Hoffenheim converged into waves of blue that surged through the streets and alleys.Regardless of Zenit fans or Hoffenheim fans, almost everyone is holding a tabloid and talking loudly about today's heavy news, which is dubbed by the fans as the restaurant door of Li Huan and Ferguson.

In Germany and China, there are also countless fans waiting by the TV or computer, wanting to know the latest development of the incident. Hoffenheim fans are unwilling to see Li Huan leave. Li Huan's fans don't care about this, but they are all worried This incident will therefore affect Hoffenheim's triple crown, which is something that neither Hoffenheim fans nor Li Huan fans want to see.

In the past, the pre-match press conference was a tasteless thing, and most fans would ignore it, but today's pre-match press conference has become a moment that thousands of fans are looking forward to. All fans want to know, Li Huan will Not at the press conference, what kind of explanation will he and Lannick have on the matter.

Sure enough, as the fans expected, Lannick took Li Huan to the pre-match press conference.Judging from their expressions, neither Li Huan nor Lannick was unhappy at all. Lannick also kindly tidied up the back of Li Huan's suit.However, this subtle action was regarded as a show by the fans on the Internet, thinking that the restaurant gate incident had indeed affected Hoffenheim, and Rangnick was just putting on a show to make the fans think they were still good.

After talking about his views on the game in an old-fashioned way, Lannick immediately mentioned the restaurant door incident in today's newspaper. Lannick said: "This incident was considered exaggerated by the reporter. Li Huan and Sir Alex Ferguson were just a very simple encounter. Ferguson Jazz is one of the most successful coaches in the world. He will not do anything that violates UEFA regulations. Li Huan has been doing well in Hoffenheim. He has led the team to two championships and is preparing to win The third one. Li Huan's contract renewal with Hoffenheim is in progress, and he will never leave Hoffenheim."

Finally, Lannick said humorously: "The encounter between Li Huan and Sir Alex Ferguson caused such a big sensation all over the world, which shows that Li Huan already has the qualifications of a superstar."

After talking about the game, Advocaat, the coach of Zenit St. Petersburg, also had to talk about the hot restaurant door incident. Although he was very happy to see the civil unrest in Hoffenheim, he verbally said Hypocritically said: "I don't care about this matter, I don't think it has anything to do with Zenit, and this matter will not have any impact on the game, Hoffenheim players will not lose the European Championship because of this matter On the contrary, I think that if Li Huan really wants to leave, it may make Hoffenheim players work harder in the game."

The two head coaches are no longer the protagonists of the press conference. The hearts of the reporters have long been tied to the young stars around them.When the two coaches were speaking, they kept taking pictures of Li Huan with long guns and short guns, as if they wanted to record every expression of Li Huan.

Li Huan's speech is in line with his usual style, not surprising, "I am very happy to meet Ferguson. He is a coach I admire very much. I also met Rooney. I heard that he used to practice boxing. I am very happy." It turned out that I also practiced free kick boxing, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to compete.

I know that after the press conference, many reporters will immediately interpret my words in this way. Li Huan expressed his affection for Ferguson. Li Huan likes to learn martial arts with Rooney. This shows that Li Huan is planning to go to Manchester United.

One of our Chinese writers has a good saying, "When you see short sleeves, you immediately think of white arms, you immediately think of nakedness, and you immediately think of illegitimate children."It is only at this level that the Chinese imagination can make such a leap forward. 'I think the imagination of journalists is similar to that of our countrymen. "

After Li Huan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only the stunned reporters and two staring head coaches in the hall.

Li Huan's speech at the press conference reassured Hoffenheim fans who were suspicious of Li Huan's attention. Many fans went to the stadium chanting the slogan that the reporter who fabricated the news was a bastard.And the female fans saw Li Huan's cool performance at the press conference and they almost became nympho. They all said that no matter where Li Huan went, they would support him, and that Li Huan was the best.

Playing cool at the press conference won the favor of so many female fans, which Li Huan did not expect.

The game started at 7:45 pm. Fans lined up to enter the stadium as early as two hours ago. Almost 47700 people poured into the stadium that can accommodate 48000 people.There are many social celebrities and football legends in the stands, and of course there are also many scouts from wealthy clubs.When the UEFA Cup semi-final draw results are announced, most people will think that Glasgow Rangers will join hands with Bayern Munich to enter the final, but it turned out that the two big dark horses entered the final.This naturally attracted the attention of many scouts. For them, these are two rich gold mines.

The final is about to start, and everyone knows the importance of this game. According to Ibisevic's later recall, when the fourth official came to the Hoffenheim locker room and told them to come on, all the players were nervous. They were almost out of breath, and their heartbeat was one-fifth faster than usual, but because Lannick was waiting at the door and hugged everyone, their mood was calmer.

Led by Swedish referee Floyd Felt, players from Zenit and Hoffenheim, still in their dark blue shirts, walked from the dressing room to City's City Stadium. Nit was a bit unlucky and picked the away jersey, which changed from blue sky to white clouds.

When the players from both sides came out of the locker room with their caddies, the fans in the audience let out a deafening cry, "Zenit!" "Hoffenheim"!The two names echoed like thunder over the city stadium.

The commentators for this game are still Duan Xuan and Tao Wei. When the two teams took a group photo, exchanged team flags, team logos, and picked sides, they nervously and quickly explained the starting lineups of both sides for this game.Faced with such an important game, the two of them obviously worked hard, and the embarrassing situation of looking for players by numbers did not occur, but for Comrade Duan Xuan, an own goal is still inevitable.

"Hoffenheim's starting lineup for this game is 433, goalkeeper Hildebrand, four defenders Li Huan, Simunić, Compaq and Ibetzberg lined up, and three midfielders Gusta Wo, Weiss, and Eduardo are one behind and two forwards. Uh, no, they are two behind and one forward, and they are actually double midfielders? Hey, Obasi's position is not a forward either. , Kopado actually appeared on the front line, and Ibisevic is still unshakable."

Tao Wei observed for a while, and said, "Hoffenheim's formation is a bit strange today. They have a double midfielder, and Sarihovic didn't go up. It seems that they are not going to attack."

Duan Xuandao: "Zenit did not have any surprises. It was similar to what the reporters predicted before the game. They played in a 433 formation. The goalkeeper Malafeyev, the four defenders were Hill, Shirokov, and Kriza. Natz, Russian international Anyukov, three midfielders - Denisov, Ukrainian captain Tymoshchuk, Ziryanov, three forwards, talented attackers Arshavin, Dani, France Izurin.

This time with Peter.With a sharp whistle from Floyd Felt, along with the crazy shouts of the fans, and the gossip of the two court commentators, the UEFA Cup final of the 0708 season has begun.

The first to kick off was Zenit St. Petersburg, an Eastern European iron cavalry. This Royal Army team, which was loved by the two presidents Putin and Medvedev, launched an attack on Hoffenheim with great confidence and the confidence to win. , in the eyes of Zenit players, this German country team's poor defense and its own internal strife are a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to make things worse.They were not even prepared to deal with Hoffenheim with their best defensive counterattack.

But the Dutch coach Advocaat, who was standing on the sidelines, was not as confident as his players, because he discovered many things he hadn't thought of before the game from Hoffenheim's starting lineup.

Based on his experience, he could tell within 3 minutes of the opening that this Hoffenheim team actually played in a 442 formation today, with a double midfielder that has hardly been used this season. Advocaat thought before the game that Hoffenheim would play attacking football very differently.And it seems that Hoffenheim is not only strengthening the defense, but also seems to be preparing to defend and counterattack.

Hoffenheim has long been prepared for Zenit's aggressive attack. Rangnick's double midfielder is not only to strengthen the defense in the center, but to support the wing in time. There are two midfielders in the center and the central defender When supporting the full-backs, they will reduce a lot of worries and become more decisive. In this way, Zenit's sharp side attack will pose a much smaller threat to Hoffenheim, and as long as Hoffenheim can catch Zenit With the space in the back line, they may have a wonderful start.

After watching seven or eight minutes of the game, Duan Xuan also saw the changes in Hoffenheim. "Hoffenheim didn't play 8 today, and Obasi's position was also a bit later. He actually played 433. Rangnick It's a bit risky. This formation is rarely used by Hoffenheim. I don't know what the final result will be?
Tao Wei is the commentator of the Bundesliga, and he is very familiar with Hoffenheim. He said: "It's not that it's rarely used, but it's basically never used. It seems that Hoffenheim is preparing to defend and counterattack. This is very rare. The effect How it takes a game to prove."
