Chapter 536 Huo Village Miracle Who Can Stop Hoffenheim
After the game, Li Huan, who scored a hat-trick, and Arshavin, who scored two goals as a substitute, were both interviewed by the media. Arshavin was obviously still in the excitement of scoring two goals. Chauvin first thanked the fans with his newly learned German, and then talked to the reporter, "I am very satisfied, I am very happy, such a score is unbelievable, not only me, but also my teammates. Can't believe we scored nine goals, Hoffenheim are one of the best teams in Europe and I'm sure we can win the title."

The reporter asked again after hearing this, and said, "Is your goal this season to win the Champions League?"

Only then did Arshavin wake up, and quickly said: "I mean we have the possibility to win the Champions League, but who knows? The championship requires luck. But if we can maintain the state we are in today, we definitely have hope."

The reporter asked again: "Do you think you have played to your full potential?"

Arshavin said: "No, I'm still a little rusty in cooperating with my teammates, otherwise I might be able to perform a hat-trick today, but now I feel that cooperating with my teammates is much better than when I first came here. The level of my teammates is very high. I think as long as you are familiar with it, cooperation is not a problem."

"You played on the right in this game. Li Huan is the kind of defender who likes to assist with the ball. Will his too many assists reduce your chances of scoring?" asked a Russian reporter.

Arshavin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, of course not, how could it be? Didn't we all score goals, and Li Huan also staged a hat-trick. Li Huan is world-class, and his assists will create more for his teammates. Opportunity."

On the other side, Li Huan is also being "bombed" by reporters in turn. The German journalists are close to the water, and the first to ask the question is the reporter of "Bild", "Mr. Li, today is a magical night. Such a score Can you think of it?"

In the second half today, Anosisos was beaten and almost collapsed. After Arshavin came on the field, Li Huan also had fewer assists than before. He was not too tired, so he shrugged and said relaxedly: "I definitely wouldn't have thought of it. This is a very good start. We will be more confident in the next game.”

"Inter Milan defeated Panathinaikos in the away game. Do you think Hoffenheim has the hope of grabbing the first place in the group from Inter Milan?"

"For new players like us, qualifying from the group stage is enough. We can't think so long-term." Li Huan didn't seem to be dazzled by this crazy game.In fact, when he scored his 9th goal, Li Huan felt like he was playing a training game.

"It seems that you are very relaxed now. Is it because your opponent is too weak?"

Li Huan smiled wryly, and said: "If you only look at the score, the opponent must be too weak, but I dare say Anosisos is as good a team as Hoffenheim in one-third of the time, but they don't have the Champions League." I lost my composure after being led by us for so many goals. It should be said that the final stage of the game was not normal. They were not normal, and we were not normal. No matter how we played, we didn’t even have to think about it. Just shoot it in."

"Now you are No.1 in the scorer list again, have you ever thought about becoming the top scorer?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "It's strange if you don't want to, but this is not a league game. The team must go far."

"Does Hoffenheim have any hope of winning the championship?"

"Yes, but very small. After all, we are participating in the final of the Champions League for the first time, and the opponents are very strong. I think accumulating experience is more important than delusion to win the championship."

There are indeed quite a few reporters who came to interview today. Li Huan returned to the locker room after briefly answering some questions.Li Huan's impeccable answers disappointed reporters who expected him to say something controversial.After winning the Triple Crown and renewing his contract, Li Huan's speech is obviously much more cautious than before. Now that he is a world-class star with tens of millions of fans, he cannot ignore the impact of his speech.

At the post-match press conference, Anosisos' head coach Katzbaia did not come, but his assistant coach was present. Obviously, the Cypriot head coach has not yet recovered from the brutal massacre.Rangnick, of course, became the protagonist of the press conference. He talked and laughed happily, looking forward to himself, and told reporters about the team's meticulous preparations for this game, and proposed the team's goals for the Champions League this season. Into the quarterfinals.

The reporters were of course dissatisfied with Rangnick's moderate goal, and asked whether the miracle in the UEFA Cup last season would happen again.

Although Rangnick is full of confidence in the team now, he also dreams of reaching the semi-finals in his heart. The Bundesliga has not reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for 7 years, but he still cautiously keeps this idea in his heart. The big tree attracts the wind, and now Hoffenheim has been more and more noticed by those old giants in Europe. I believe that if the team continues to play like this, the winter break will be too good. Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all taking money. The club, now that the Abu Dhabi consortium has acquired Manchester City, is said to be waving money to buy people all over the world, and even quoted 1.5 million to Kaka and [-] million to Ronaldo. Now the club is considering how to deal with it.

Rangnick once again reiterated that the team is not yet capable of winning the championship. Accumulating experience and continuing to improve the team's strength is the most important thing to do now.Lannick also acted first and said that there is still a gap in their strength to achieve the current goal.Hoffenheim is not short of money, and it is not ruled out to continue buying people during the winter break.

On the first day of the UEFA Champions League in the 0809 season, two big upsets broke out, which also shows that the UEFA Champions League this season is quite different from previous years.The traditional Serie A giants Roma lost [-]-[-] to the Romanian champion Cluj at their home court, and they did not take advantage of the scene, which surprised many fans. Can't beat the Romanian champions at home, but not at home.But the result tells the fans that football is indeed round, and anything can happen.

Hoffenheim's victory over Anosisos of Cyprus was not a surprise. It is normal for the Bundesliga champions to beat the Cyprus champions at home, but Hoffenheim scored too many goals. They actually scored 9 goals. Anosisos failed to score a goal, creating the record for the largest difference in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League since the restructuring. The previous record was the 8-0 bloodbath of Turkey's Besiktas in the UEFA Champions League group match last season. .However, Hoffenheim's rout is not the record for the number of goals scored in a single game after the Champions League restructuring. The goal record holder is Monaco's 03:8 home sweep of Deportivo in 3.

The madness of Hoffenheim made all the teams terrified. Inter Milan, who was in the same group as Hoffenheim, just defeated Panathinaikos 2-0 away, but after the victory, Mourinho couldn't laugh. Come out, because in terms of strength, there is no doubt that Inter Milan will qualify from the group, but Inter Milan wants not only to qualify for the group, but also to strive for the first position in the group. This is not only a matter of face. There is no face problem in philosophy. The main reason is that the first place in the group can allow Inter Milan to be assigned to weaker opponents in the subsequent knockout rounds, and it also has the advantage of going first on the schedule.The most frightening thing is that Hoffenheim has scored nine goals without conceding a goal. Even a hero like Mourinho secretly complained. They will face Hoffenheim at home in the next game. Can it stop the opponent's crazy attack?
Except for these two big upsets, the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage was basically calm, with clear strengths and weaknesses. Known as one of the big dark horses, the UEFA Cup runner-up Zenit was surrendered by Juventus in the away game. After losing Arshavin and Tymoshchuk, Zenit's strength has been seriously damaged, and the away game is justified. The La Liga runner-up Yellow Submarine Villarreal's away draw with the previous champion Manchester United is not a big upset , La Liga's technical flow and the Premier League's physical flow have always restrained each other.Also from the Bundesliga, the former overlord Bayern Munich defeated Steaua Bucharest [-]-[-] in the field. It was their defender Van Buyten who scored for Bayern. After the game, the media dubbed that the Bundesliga picked up the old tradition of defenders scoring .

After the first round of the match, Li Huan topped the UEFA Champions League scorer list with three goals. Behind him were teammates Saviola, Arshavin and Atletico Madrid's Aguero who scored two goals.

After the first round of competition, the major European mainstream bookmakers represented by Ladbrokes and William Hill also adjusted the winning odds of this Champions Cup and the odds of the first place in the group stage.

The original top nine European giants basically remained unchanged. Chelsea, who beat Bordeaux 4-0, still ranked first. Although Manchester United was tied at home by Villarreal, they still ranked second with strong strength. However, Hoffenheim, which was originally ranked 1th at 50 to 15, rose to 10th with this wild victory, overwhelming Rome, which was originally ranked 1th, and Hoffenheim won the championship. The odds have also been adjusted to 22 to 2.In terms of odds for the first place in the group stage, Hoffenheim is also almost the same as Inter Milan. Inter Milan is 7 to 1, while Hoffenheim is 4 to [-].

After the game, the European media were all excited. The Spaniard's "Mundo Deportivo" exclaimed: "After experiencing the test of the UEFA Cup, Hoffenheim has adapted to the European arena even more. They have created an appalling record in the Champions League. , they slaughtered Anosisos 9:0 at home, and the Cypriots, who also entered the Champions League for the first time, had no resistance. The ball swept Manchester United, and now Hoffenheim has almost become the number one terrorist in Europe, and the European madman Mourinho must think carefully about how he should face the iron heels of the Germans."

Italians exaggerate more than Spaniards. "Gazzetta dello Sport" said: At this moment, the whole of Europe is stunned by Hoffenheim. They created an unbelievable record. Under the crazy attack of the Germans, the Cypriots had no resistance at all. The Karl Benz Stadium was torn to pieces by Li Huan, Saviola, Arshavin and others.Facing such a bloodthirsty crazy team, Inter Milan and Panathinaikos in the same group must be careful. Think about what happened to the European champions Manchester United. It is not alarmist to say that maybe you are the next Anosisos. "

The British media also expressed extreme shock. The "Sun" said, "Is this true? This is true. This is not a dream, nor is it a live football game. This is a UEFA Champions League football group match at the highest level in Europe. Hoffenheim crazily massacred the defenseless Cyprus champion with 9 goals. The biggest murderer was their defender Li Huan. The cooperating criminals were Argentine Saviola, Russian Arshavin, and Bosnian striker Ibishevi Qi and Croatian defender Simunic also participated in the crime. This is the record for the largest difference in the Champions League. Judging from this game, Manchester United lost five goals in the Super Cup. It is not wronged. The UEFA Cup champion is not Not just the leaders of the second tier in Europe, they have the quality of a first-tier team."

The German media is not stingy with words of praise for their team. "Kicker" commented after the game: "Hoffenheim won honor for the Bundesliga. The score of 9:0 created a Champions League reform. For the record, when Bayern, Werder Bremen, and Schalke are increasingly losing their competitiveness in the Champions League, Hoffenheim proved that the Bundesliga has not declined. After continuously introducing heavyweight players in the summer transfer market, Hoffenheim Finnheim's strength has increased unabated compared to last season, and according to the current state, it will not surprise us if they create a greater miracle this season than last season."

"Bild" exclaimed on the field: "The German Cup defeated Chemnitz with 10 goals, the Super Cup defeated Manchester United with 5 goals, and the Champions League group stage defeated Anosisos with 9 goals. Hoffenheim's attack power has become incomparable this season. What is even more frightening is that their defense has taken a qualitative leap compared to last season. Bayern and Manchester United in G14 have proved that they are vulnerable. Which team can block their blade now? Rinho's Inter Milan, Guus Hiddink's Chelsea, or Pep Guardiola's Barcelona? From the first round of the Champions League group stage, Hoffenheim changed from a German problem to a European problem."

Hoffenheim's local media "Rhine Neckar Zeitung" cheered after the game, "Bayern is the past, Hoffenheim is about to usher in a new era of Bundesliga football, and the UEFA Champions League is the next goal Hoffenheim will conquer. 5 goals bloodbathed the Premier League and Champions League champions, 9 goals slaughtered the Cypriot champions, Serie A champions Inter Milan is ready, Mourinho, Li Huan is here."
