Chapter 574 Huo Village Miracle Ibisevic Injured

"Someone told me a sentence many years ago: "The caravan passed by, and a pack of dogs was barking.You look at the dogs, but the caravan keeps going. "

— Mourinho.

It has been two days since the World Footballer of the Year awards ceremony, and the doubts from media such as Britain and Portugal have not stopped, but Li Huan and Hoffenheim did not take it to heart. They knew that the best response to doubts was victory, and they used continuous victories Tell those who doubt that they deserve any credit.

Germany in January is very cold and windy, Hoffenheim chose the warm and humid La Manga in the southeast of Murcia, Spain as the training location for the winter break.

On the left side of Lamanga is the lagoon, and on the right is the vast and blue Mediterranean Sea. Every winter, world-renowned football clubs come here for winter training. Hoffenheim chose this place not only because it is warm and there are many warm-up opponents, they also hope You can learn more about the Spanish team here, because their opponent in the Champions League 16-to-8 match is the La Liga powerhouse, Villarreal, known as the yellow submarine.

The small town of Villarreal only has more than 4 people, but their strength should not be underestimated. They did not lose against Manchester United in the group stage. Finnheim is rich, and the La Liga team's style of play is somewhat restrained from the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim's draw to Villarreal is not a good draw.But it is much better than Inter Milan's match against Manchester United. As long as they prepare carefully, there is at least half the possibility of reaching the quarterfinals.

At the moment, Hoffenheim is holding a warm-up match with Hamburg, another Bundesliga team training in La Manga. This is Hoffenheim's last warm-up match in Spain. After this warm-up match, Hoffen Heim will return to Germany to participate in the celebration ceremony for the opening of the new stadium on January 1, although the third round of the German Cup against Mainz and the second half of the Bundesliga against Cottbus will also start.

Originally, Hoffenheim’s opponent in the last warm-up match was Sevilla in La Liga. There are great similarities between this team and Villarreal. So the appointment was missed, and Rangnick couldn't find a suitable opponent for a while, and didn't want to give up the opportunity to warm up, so he chose to warm up with the Bundesliga opponent Hamburg.

In the 70th minute of the game, the score was 5:1. Hoffenheim took the lead. Li Huan, who had just performed a hat-trick and was replaced by Baker, was sitting on the sidelines, drinking water and watching the game. In the game, the team had secured the victory, but Li Huan's heart was still hanging, because in his impression, Ibisevic seemed to be injured during the winter break, but when exactly was the injury suffered in that game? He couldn’t even remember the injury. After coming to Spain, Li Huan kept telling Ibisevic to be cautious and prevent injuries. Ibisevic also listened to Li Huan’s advice. There has been no problem in training these days. , but Li Huan has always had a bad premonition. Just now he told Lannik to quickly replace Ibisevic, but Lannik still hesitated.

"Coach Rangnick, replace Wei Dade (Ibisevic), it's a win." Li Huan said again.

"Replace him when the ball is dead." Although Lannick was a little surprised why Li Huan kept reminding him to replace Ibisevic recently, he didn't have any suspicions, he just felt that the relationship between the two was very good.

However, at this moment, Hoffenheim got a chance to counterattack. Ibisevic got a pass from Eduardo and quickly brought the ball to the front of Hamburg's penalty area. The midfielder Alex, just when Ibisevic was about to shoot, Yashrom rushed over from a distance, raised his foot and kicked to intercept Ibisevic's shot.The team led by a big score, and Ibisevic also tried his best to protect himself and quickly stopped his feet, but Yashrom rushed too fast and too hard, and hit Ibisevic's leg at once, and Ibisevic was hit He turned around in a circle and fell to the ground.

Li Huan stood up abruptly, feeling uneasy, wondering if Ibisevic was injured.

"Your moves are too big!"

Rangnick complained to the head coach of Hamburg Joel, but he didn't pay much attention to it. This level of collision is very common in the Bundesliga. Ibisevic is 1.9 meters tall, so there will be no problem, but he still let Savio Pull up to replace Ibisevic.

Ibisevic limped off the field, Li Huan and Rangnick hurried over to support him, and asked in unison, "Are you okay?"

Ibisevic said: "The knee hurts a bit, but it's fine. I guess I twisted it."

At this time, the team doctor Becks came over, checked briefly, and said: "I can't see any damage, maybe it's good to rest, but it's best to have an MRI after the game."

Li Huan said anxiously: "Hurry up and send him to the hospital for an MRI."

Ibisevic felt the pain worse at this moment, and said, "The pain is getting worse."

Bex's face became serious, and he said, "Then hurry up and send him to the nearest hospital."

Ten minutes later, Bakers sent bad news from the hospital. Ibisevic suspected that he had strained the cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The coaches and players on the sidelines were stunned like a bolt from the blue after hearing this. Hoffenheim can play so smoothly this season. In addition to the team's better running-in and the joining of high-level players, Ibisevic suddenly Opened up, scored 17 goals in 21 games, it was like a godsend.After Ibisevic is injured, who will turn the passes of Li Huan, Arshavin and Eduardo into assists.Cruciate ligament strain, at least half a year's rest, that is to say, reimbursement for the second half of the season.

When everyone was angry and anxious on the sidelines, they suddenly saw the chaos on the field. It turned out that Eduardo was counterattacking with the ball in the midfield. Olic chased from behind and pushed Eduardo down.After Eduardo jumped up, he punched Olic in the face. Olic was not a weakling, he was also a bloody man. He slapped Eduardo directly, and the two wrestled together.Other players from Hoffenheim and Hamburg also surrounded them, and there were many fights and fights. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Immediately, the coaches and players of the Hamburg team rushed to the scene of the incident. They originally wanted to fight, but the fight was in full swing. Li Huan and other substitute players were angry because of Ibisevic's injury and rushed They went in and started fighting.The players from Hamburg were overwhelmed by Hoffenheim, and they also became angry from embarrassment, and they fought against the Hoffenheim players mercilessly.

The scuffle lasted for two and a half minutes, and it was not pulled away until the security guard came over. Hoffenheim was good at football and good at fighting. There were more Hamburg players on the ground than Hoffenheim's. Li Huan alone Three big men were overthrown.

In the scuffle, the coaches and referees who stepped forward to stop the players were not spared. One of the referee's eye sockets was bruised, Rangnick had a nosebleed, and Joel's face was swollen. They also became the focus of reporters' snaps figure.

With the game like this, how could it be any better, the invited referee reluctantly announced the end of the game, and left the court angrily.

The loss of a game was heavy. After Hoffenheim returned to Germany, Ibisevic was diagnosed at the University Hospital of Heidelberg. The Bosnian shooter was indeed a cruciate ligament strain and he had to rest for at least half a year.

This news caused a sensation in Germany. The fans of Hoffenheim were worried. They wondered if this would affect Hoffenheim's performance. They have won 14 games in a row in the league and are about to overtake Bayern. With a winning streak of 15 games and a need to make a difference in the Champions League, Ibisevic's injury is a major blow to Hoffenheim.

The fans outside of Hoffenheim were naturally delighted. According to the momentum of Hoffenheim's sweeping army in the first half, there is still no team that can shake their status in the second half. Everyone can only compete for No.2. Even Bayern is the same, but Ibisevic's injury gave all teams a chance.

"Bild" said regretfully, "Li Huan just won a World Footballer for Hoffenheim, and immediately lost the top scorer in the half of the league. It seems that God does not want Hoffenheim to be too strong. Ibi Ibisevic's injury will make Hoffenheim's striker nervous, although there are still a few days before the transfer window closes, it is too difficult to find a substitute for Ibisevic."

"Mirror" said that if Hoffenheim just want to win the Bundesliga, they don't need to buy any more. The current lead, plus Li Huan, Arshavin, Eduardo, Demba Ba, Saviola and others are also Can cope with the Bundesliga and the German Cup, but if they want to go further in the Champions League, they must buy a striker again.

Both Rangnick and Hope understand this point, but the winter transfer time is not long, and every team is in a tense game, who will transfer capable players?Buying a substitute with no strength, plus no time to run in, I'm afraid it's better not to buy it.

Ibisevic's injury is a foregone conclusion. No one can change it. Life must go on. Hoffenheim Club is stepping up the search for a suitable striker in Europe, while preparing for the opening ceremony of the new stadium - the Rhine-Neckar Arena .

On the night of January 1th, countless Hoffenheim fans wearing blue jerseys came from all directions to the small town of Sinsheim in Germany. Tonight, the opening ceremony of the Rhein-Neckar Stadium will be held here. How could the hardcore Hoffenheim fans miss this historic moment.

Before the start of the game, Hoffenheim Chairman Hope, Sinsheim Mayor Genett and Bauer State Governor Oettinger delivered speeches respectively. After the speeches, a 99-year-old childlike old man and an 18-year-old The Sunshine Youth like Hope presented a football signed by all Hoffenheim players and a piece of pitch turf.

Afterwards, Li Huan showed the Hoffenheim fans the World Footballer's Trophy he had just won. The fans cheered for Li Huan. They hoped that Li Huan could guard Hoffenheim forever until he retired.

Next came theatrical performances. Germany's most famous violinist Garrett played songs for the fans, and Wana also came back from Munich to sing two songs for her hometown team.

Finally, there was a friendly match between Hoffenheim and the Rhein-Neckar Regional United, which was also the first match in the Rhein-Neckar Arena. Li Huan scored the first and last goals to help the team beat the Rheinland 6:2 In the Neckar region United, Hoffenheim's technical and tactical ability and scoring ability in the game made Hoffenheim feel relieved. Without Ibisevic, Hoffenheim does not seem to be weak offensively. The combination of Demba Ba, Saviola and Obasi is also very sharp.

After attending the inauguration ceremony of the Rhine-Neckar Arena, Li Huan accompanied Hope, Mayor of Sinsheim Gennett, Governor of Baden-Württemberg Oettinger, and violinist Garrett at the Sinsheim Grand Hotel Celebrating the banquet, it was almost 11 o'clock when I got home.

Li Huan took a hot bath and just lay down on the bed when he suddenly received a call from Sun Hai. Li Huan was surprised and said, "Brother Hai, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Sun Hai seemed a little hesitant, and said: "Li Huan, I have something to do. Someone asked me, old friend, and I am too embarrassed to refuse. In fact, I think it is also a good thing for you."

Li Huan was even more surprised, and said: "Brother Hai, what is the relationship between us, you can just tell me."

Sun Haidao: "It's like this. Mr. Gary Cook of the Manchester City Club asked me if you would like to join Manchester City. Really, the conditions are very favorable. As long as you are willing to play in Manchester City until you are 30 years old, you will not have to worry about money in your life. gone."

Li Huan suddenly realized that Gary Cook, the CEO of Manchester City, had contacted him and Watts by phone during this period, hoping that he could transfer during the winter break. Tell Watts to ignore him for the time being. No matter what conditions Manchester City gives, it is impossible for Li Huan to transfer during the winter break. He still wants to win the Champions League.Unexpectedly, Gary Cook actually found Sun Hai. Sun Hai has played for Manchester City for so many years, so he is naturally embarrassed to refute the face of Gary Cook, an old boss.

Li Huan was also embarrassed to refute Sun Hai's face, and said: "Brother Hai, you also know that I will not transfer during the winter break."

Sun Haidao: "I know, but don't we play football for money? Manchester City offered you an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax, and signed a four-year contract at a time."

Li Huan was a little dazed. The annual salary was so huge that he was a little out of breath. During the economic crisis, only the Abu Dhabi consortium made such a big deal. Li Huan calmed down and asked : "Didn't they say an annual salary of 1300 million euros?"

"That was before the selection of the World Footballer of the Year. Your value has skyrocketed again, and their conditions must also rise, and you have defeated Ronaldo. Manchester City naturally hopes to use you to suppress Manchester United." Sun Hai said enviously, if This condition was given to him. Sun Hai estimated that he would leave Hoffenheim without saying anything or saying hello. Even if he couldn't play in Manchester City, 6 million euros in four years would be enough for him for several lifetimes.

At this time, Sun Hai didn't pass on the message for Gary Cook. He really spoke from Li Huan's standpoint. He said earnestly, "Huanzi, you are 26 this year. After four years, you will be thirty. The golden age will be over by that time. At that time, no club will offer you such a crazy annual salary. Earn a little more while you are young. Loyalty is nothing. What are we loyal to foreign teams? To settle abroad, you don’t have to be in Germany. I know you are not short of money, but if you have more money, don’t bite your hand. The more you have, the more secure you are. With your reputation, playing in the Premier League, the advertising endorsement fee can only be higher Besides..." Sun Hai said in a very mysterious tone: "Actually, if you sign with Manchester City, there must be a lot of signing fees. From Gary Cook's estimation, it may cost an integer."

Li Huan is a person who has traveled through time, and with so much start-up capital in hand, it is very easy to earn the glory and wealth that can be enjoyed in the next few lifetimes in the past few years, so there is no such thing as Sun Hai's youthful meal. There is a sense of urgency. In football, he is more to make up for the regrets of his previous life and pursue higher honors and goals.

"Brother Hai, thank you for your suggestion, but the winter break is definitely not an option, and I won't talk to him, no matter how much the annual salary is, it's useless. If you really want to talk, let's talk about it during the summer transfer." Li Huan still refused without hesitation.

Sun Hai and Li Huan have been in contact for a while, knowing the character of this little brother, he sighed, and said: "Well, I'm just giving a word, the decision is up to you. You should think about it carefully, and you are now a member of the world football team. Sir, your status and fame are completely different from before. You can be said to be a treasure trove. If you are associated with money and fame, you should be more careful in what you do in the future. There are many unscrupulous reporters and criminals. Hehe, man Women are indispensable, but those flesh and blood should not be touched."

Sun Hai has been in the Premier League for many years and has rich experience. Li Huan is not only rich, but also has such a great reputation. His every move is the focus of the world. He immediately thought of Beckham, so he kindly reminded him.

Li Huan understood Sun Hai's kindness and said, "Thank you Brother Hai, I'm currently looking for bodyguards."

"Well, it's time to hire a bodyguard, but didn't your club invite you?" Sun Hai said.

Li Huan said: "Please, but what I want is a personal bodyguard who can follow me 24 hours a day."

"Well, as long as you are ready, I won't disturb your rest. Good night."

"Good night, Brother Hai."

Although Li Huan rejected Manchester City's offer again, Alphahim did not give up. He still told the reporter that Li Huan was willing to come, and he offered Li Huan the world's best annual salary of 500 million euros, which made Huofenhai Mu was in panic again. Ibisevic's injury meant a broken finger to Hoffenheim. If Li Huan left, it would be a heart-breaking injury. The annual salary offered was already very high, but now that Li Huan has become the World Footballer of the Year, the annual salary of [-] euros before tax cannot be paid. Hoffenheim decided to revise the contract for Li Huan again.
