Chapter 519 Huo Village Miracle Arshavin Comes
The first round of the new Bundesliga season is very different from last season. Last season, only Bayern stood out, and other strong teams were weak. But in the first round of this season, only Bayern was weak, and almost all other strong teams won.

Stuttgart beat newly promoted Borussia Mönchengladbach 04-96 away, Schalke 5 beat Hannover [-] [-]-[-], Dortmund reversed Leverkusen [-]-[-] away, Bremen were tied by Bielefeld in the away game, but they In the German Cup, he scored nine goals. Only Bayern faced the German third team in the German Cup. The game conceded [-] goals, which made people take a breath of air at Klinsmann's coaching, because they conceded three goals in the German Cup, and it can be said that they did not take their opponents to heart, which is a bit exaggerated, but the situation in this game What's right is that Hamburg, which is not weak, is fighting at its own home court, but it can't win. This shows that Klinsmann's transformation of the team does have some problems.

After the first round, Hoffenheim and Schalke 04 tied for the top spot in the standings due to their advantage in goal difference. In the scorer list, their two teams' leading strikers Ibisevic and Kuranyi also scored. 2 goals tied for first place.Baden-Württemberg fans are heartened that all three local teams have won this round, and the long-awaited prosperity of Baden-Württemberg football seems to have become a reality.

Among the five major leagues, Bundesliga and Ligue [-] started first, and the European media also focused their attention on these two leagues. After the first round, the major media commented on the team's state and the direction of this season and forecast.

"Bayern aims to win the championship, the defense is full of hidden worries", this is the headline of "Kicker", the reporter believes, "Bayern is the team most affected by the European Cup, although their goal this season is still to win the league. Made a difference in the Champions League, but Klinsmann's training has not been successful, the defense is not focused, the forward line is in a daze, and it seems that they have not yet woke up from the defeat to Spain in the final. From the German Cup and the league No. Looking at the first round, Hoffenheim is still one of the best teams in the Bundesliga. If Bayern don't want to repeat last season's cup, they should not be easily thrown off from the first round. Last season Hoffenheim are undefeated and no one knows what miracles they can do this season."

When commenting on the battle between Bayern and Hamburg, "Bild" joked that "the hamburger was too hard and bit Bayern's teeth", "Bayern fans should have been mentally prepared, Hamburg has never been a bone that is easy to chew. Every line of Hamburg You can see the hard-bodied tough guy on the Internet. Olić's spirit of "I'll just run and die" will be a bit frightening to anyone who sees it. Bayern won 1-1 with Hamburg twice last season. In the game, Bayern lacked the two main players of Ribery and Toni, and the 2:2 draw is not a big upset, but Bayern needs to work harder if they want to win the championship."

When talking about the battle between Hoffenheim and Cottbus, the reporter of "Bild" said: "This is a game with strong and weak points. Xiao Li Fei Dao is still amazing, the Argentine Rabbit is extremely clever, and Ibisevic is a big man with great wisdom. They are still the biggest favorites for the league championship this season."

"Four Four Two" believes that after the first round, the situation of relegation and championship is already very clear. Except for Hoffenheim, the traditional strong teams are still the main contenders for the championship. Despite their ambitions, although Bayern and Bremen were tied by their opponents, their strength should not be underestimated.

This season's relegation teams are showing a trend of expansion. Frankfurt, Cottbus, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bochum, and Cologne will all become popular teams for relegation in the league. It is hard to say who will go to hell in the end, but most To come from these teams. "

Although Li Huan has renewed his contract with Hoffenheim, but seeing Li Huan's bravery in planning an attack with two assists and one attack in the first round, the major European giants still have not extinguished the idea of ​​poaching Hoffenheim, "Aspen" After the game, he broke the news and said, "Another two assists! China Li is proving every day that Hoffenheim gave him the highest salary in the Bundesliga. Players who take over the entire right-hand offense and defense have become a scarce resource. Although Real Madrid was not determined enough to pursue Li Huan because they planned to buy Costiano and Ronaldo, after both Ronaldo and Li Huan renewed their contracts, Real Madrid is ready to attack Li Huan with all its strength. , with 7000 million euros to win the Bundesliga's first defender."

The British "Sun" also stated that Brazilian coach Scolari is very attracted to Li Huan and is considering using Shevchenko plus 3000 million pounds to buy the Chinese.Although Chelsea's owner Abramovich has been asking the team to reduce expenses recently, he said to Li Huan that he can make an exception.

In Italy, some media also revealed that Inter Milan boss Moratti is crazy about spending [-] million to buy Li Huan, and use the combination of Li Huan and Mourinho to get Inter Milan's first color photo of the Champions League.

The day after Hoffenheim returned to Mannheim from Cottbus, the draw for the second round of the DFB-Pokal began. Hoffenheim drew Freiburg in the second division. Those Bundesliga teams are much luckier to kill each other. Although the German Cup is not in the plan of Rangnick and Hoffenheim, young players and substitutes need to play to maintain their form, and they don't want to be eliminated prematurely.

After the draw, Hoffenheim announced another news that shocked the Bundesliga. They formally negotiated with Zenit on the transfer of Arshavin. The transfer will be finalized before the Super Bowl.

After talking about Arshavin's transfer process, Schindelmeiser asked the fans to rest assured that Hoffenheim would not sell Li Huan. Li Huan belonged to Hoffenheim. The flag is not for sale, and the liquidated damages of [-] million euros only represents Li Huan's value, not that any club will sell him for [-] million Hoffenheim.

Later, everyone in Hoffenheim stood up and refuted the transfer rumors of Li Huan's transfer. Rangnick also told reporters in an exchange meeting with the fans: "Hoffenheim is not short of money. Mu has a higher goal. Li Huan is a very important part of Hoffenheim's tactics. He is indispensable. Although there is a little trouble in renewing the contract, Li Huan's main consideration is the team's goals in the new season , it was a positive move, and since he didn't leave before the extension, it's hard to believe he'll go after the extension."

Li Huan's teammate Weiss also believes that the outside rumors are just speculation, "Li is very happy in Hoffenheim. Here he is respected by his teammates, loved by the fans, appreciated by the coach and the club. How could he leave here? , he's been here for three years and I think he's going to retire here."

The news of Arshavin's arrival directly stimulated Hoffenheim's midfielder. In the second round of the Bundesliga game against Borussia Mönchengladbach a week later, Hoffenheim's midfielder showed great power. Sarihovic and Gustavo each scored twice, and Ibisevic added another goal, scoring his third goal of the season. Hoffenheim won [-]-[-] at home. Victory newly promoted.

Because Schalke 04 drew with Werder Bremen, Hoffenheim became the only Bundesliga leader with two consecutive victories.But Bayern got deeper and deeper into trouble. They were once again tied 11-[-] by Dortmund in the away game. Captain Van Bommel was sent off with a red card. What's more frightening is that Bayern was like Hoffenheim last season. Conceded goals, counting the German Cup three games have conceded six goals, but their attack power is not as strong as Hoffenheim, after two rounds, they actually ranked [-]th.

The German media criticized Bayern's performance after the game. Most of them criticized Bayern's sluggish state. Van Bommel, who received a red card, became the target of public criticism. Coach Klinsmann also faced greater pressure. Only two rounds In the league, some media have used "crisis" to describe Klinsmann's current situation.

In addition to Bayern being seriously questioned, Li Huan, the core of Hoffenheim, also encountered a little trouble. Although he also contributed two assists and hit two goalposts in the second round, he scored one goal in two rounds. Failure to score is far from enough for the super defender who broke Muller's scoring record last season and won the European Golden Boot. Both the media and fans have higher demands on him. After the madness of the first season, Li Huan also began to face the confusion brought about by too high a starting point.

After the second round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's long-awaited transfer of the Russian tsar Arshavin finally entered the substantive stage. Although Zenit insisted on a transfer fee of 800 million euros, Hoffenheim But they finally came up with a good way. In addition to paying 500 million euros in cash, they also gave Zenit the striker Wellington, who was temporarily unavailable to them, as an extra. During the meeting, Hoffenheim spent 500 million euros. Although it proved useless, it was definitely enough to make up for the 300 million transfer fee gap. Zenit expressed satisfaction with this.

On the penultimate day before the transfer window closed, the Zenit club announced the transfer of Arshavin to Hoffenheim.Subsequently, Hoffenheim's official website and major German media reported the news that the last UEFA Cup runner-up, Russian winger Arshavin, had successfully transferred to old rival Hoffenheim.

Arshavin's transfer to Hoffenheim caused another shock in the Bundesliga. Last season, other clubs also hoped to see Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim fighting each other. They could benefit from it, but this season with the Bayern's self-sacrifice and depravity, Hoffenheim implicitly have the meaning of riding the dust, Arshavin's joining will undoubtedly bring Hoffenheim's strength to a higher level, which makes other Bundesliga teams very worried about Hoffenheim Mu will become the second Bayern, suppressing them without a chance to stand up.

"Kicker" said in the commentary on Arshavin's transfer, "After Hoffenheim bought the Bundesliga's nemesis Arshavin and Tymoshchuk, its strength has become unmatched. The invasion of money power has changed the Bundesliga. Balanced, after Hoffenheim overthrew Bayern's supremacy last season, they will officially take over the Bundesliga this season. Arshavin and Eduardo's breakthrough, Li Huan's free kick, this combination is simply more terrifying than nuclear weapons, see At the beginning of the season, it is not a lie that Rangnick proposed to perform in the Champions League."

"Bild" and "Rhine Neckar" disclosed the details of Arshavin's contract, "Arshavin signed a four-year contract until August 2012, the Russian will receive a high salary of 8 million euros, and the transfer fee is 450 500 million euros plus Wellington. If Arshavin performs well and Hoffenheim qualify for the Champions League group stage, Zenit will receive an additional fee of 100 million euros. With 200 euros remitted to Zenit's account, the total value of Arshavin's transfer may even reach 300 million euros, which is the first worth in Hoffenheim's transfer history."

On August 8, Arshavin came to Hoffenheim from St. Petersburg to undergo a medical examination. More than 28 people went to greet him. After the physical examination, Arshavin, accompanied by all Hoffenheim officials and Rangnick, showed his ID card with the fans. meeting.

At the press conference, Arshavin talked about the transfer. He said: "I am very happy to join Hoffenheim. I will do my best to contribute to the team. It has been very difficult for me recently, but It doesn't matter now, I have become a villager in Huo Village, that's what matters. Hoffenheim is very strong, they have great ambitions, I think they can do more in the Champions League, this is why I joined their reasons."

Rangnick, Li Huan, Ibisevic and others welcomed Arshavin's joining.

Rangnick said: "Arshavin's strength is very strong and can improve Hoffenheim's strength to a higher level. His dribbling and breakthrough can break the deadlock and will be of great help to our Champions League this season."

Li Huan also told reporters that the joining of Arshavin was his happiest thing after Hoffenheim won the championship. With Arshavin in the frontcourt, he believes that Hoffenheim can create even greater miracles.When a reporter asked Li Huan whether the joining of Arshavin would make his goals less. Now he only scored one goal, but Hoffenheim has scored 18 goals. Li Huan told reporters, " Although I like to score goals, it is not the duty of a defender. If the team can win and win the championship, he would rather not score a goal. But of course it is better to score. I think Arshavin will bring me goals transport."
