Chapter 662
(Brothers, Merry Christmas, play hard to code, and cheer for the brothers' Christmas)
After two days of frantic celebrations, Hoffenheim trained all morning on the third day, and took the bus to Berlin in the afternoon to participate in the final German Cup final. This is also the third championship that Hoffenheim can strive for this year.

Although the German Cup is just a tasteless event, and it is not favored by teams that can play the Champions League and UEFA Cup, but this championship is also very important to Hoffenheim, because there has never been a triple crown in the history of the Bundesliga. , the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has become the double champion of the league and the German Cup 7 times, and has also lifted the league champion and the Champions League trophy twice at the same time, but has never become a triple crown. In the 80s of the last century, Hamburg also won Dortmund failed to defend their title in 97 and only won the Champions League.If Hoffenheim can win the Triple Crown, it will truly surpass Bayern and dominate the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim's opponent in the German Cup final is Bremen. The Green and White Army defeated Dortmund, League No.2 Wolfsburg, and the newly promoted enemy Hamburg. Three first-tier opponents scored a total of 22 in the cup. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Werder Bremen also reached the final of the UEFA Cup this season. Unfortunately, they lost to Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine and only won Runner-up, this also proves that Bremen's strength, confidence and state are very good in the cup, but for Hoffenheim, it doesn't matter who the domestic opponent is. Bayern Munich is strong enough in the Bundesliga. Every time they meet Hoffenheim lost, not even a draw.Although Bremen's offensive power is very strong, but the defense is average. When encountering the current Hoffenheim, it is basically a dead end, but the premise is that Hoffenheim can't be careless.

This is the third time that Hoffenheim has come to Berlin to participate in the final of the DFB-Pokal, but this time it is coming to Berlin as the champion of the new UEFA Champions League and the league champion. Reporters from nearly 200 TV stations and radio stations, 450 newspaper reporters and 130 videographers from all over the world gathered in Berlin and waited for their visit.Moreover, the DFB temporarily decided that German TV 150 and [-] will broadcast the whole process live at the same time. There are [-] countries watching this game. Among them, India in Asia will also broadcast the German Cup final live for the first time. Of course, this is mainly because Li Huan brought Asia. coming influence.

After Hoffenheim came to Berlin, when they got off the bus, in an interview with Hollendell, the beauty host of ZDZ, Rangnick shouted out the treble declaration in a high-profile way, "Even if you don't take this German We are also the best team in the world, but we can do better, the Bundesliga has never won the Triple Crown, we hope to be the first."

And Li Huan also said similar things when he was interviewed by the hostess who had a good impression of him. Li Huan said: "Triple crown? Of course, this is our ultimate dream. This dream seems very close. The German Cup may be considered the least difficult trophy, but we must not be careless, otherwise there will be endless regrets waiting for us, and it is hard to say whether we will have such an opportunity in the future."

Before the game between the Champions League champion and the UEFA Cup runner-up, it is natural to make some gimmicks to arouse the enthusiasm of the fans. The reporter of German TV [-] also interviewed the Bremen general. The Bremen general knows how powerful the opponent is in front of them. , but they still didn't want to weaken morale before the game. They also said that the cup game is a hotbed of upsets. Many people were not optimistic about Hoffenheim before the Champions League game. Not without hope.

Manager Schaaff was involved in four of Werder Bremen's five titles.As a player, he won the German Cup in 1991 and 1994; as a coach, he led Werder Bremen to win the cup in 1999 and 2004.Some people say that Schaff lacks the composure that a coach should have, but arrogance, stubbornness and enthusiasm are exactly the character he gave to Bremen's team, and it is also the reason why Bremen's fans and members in the Bundesliga are second only to Bayern.

This time Schaff still spoke boldly to reporters: "I don't think our results this season are bad. Because we broke into the finals of two events. Although our performance in the Bundesliga is relatively poor, I still think we will There is a happy ending. That is to win the DFB-Pokal."

When the reporter asked him if he would play offensive football against Hoffenheim, Schaf said: "Why not, we will stick to our own style of play. Although Barcelona is the best offensive team in Europe, they It was a monotonous strategy with no headers, but we are different and we will definitely beat Hoffenheim."

Schaff made similar rhetoric ahead of the UEFA Cup final, but it ultimately fell flat.When the reporter questioned this point, Schaff explained: "We lacked three core players in the UEFA Cup. This greatly reduced the team's combat effectiveness. Now we are strong and have the strength to compete with Hoffenheim .”

Bremen's Brazilian midfielder Diego will join Juventus next season. Before the game, the Brazilian genius said: "Bremen has no chance to participate in the Champions League, and I need to participate in the Champions League. I also hope to go to South Africa next year. Juventus offers me an offer I can't refuse. Before I go, I hope to win a championship for the fans of Bremen. If I fail, I will be very sad. So I don't want this to happen again. We will do our best Go. Take the game into our hands."

German journalists and fans did not believe that Hoffenheim, after experiencing the baptism of the league and the Champions League, would capsize in the German Cup. The only chance for Bremen is that Hoffenheim has been celebrating after the Champions League. Very lax, participating in a life-and-death contest in this state, Bremen can’t really say that there is no chance at all. After all, the gap between professional players is not big. If Hoffenheim can’t play at a normal level, Getting upset is not out of the question.

At 2009 o'clock in the evening on June 6, 1, the German Cup final of the 7 season kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The curtain of the five major leagues has fallen, and now the focus of the entire European football is the German Cup on the weekend. The strength and state of the two participating teams are also enough to bear the attention of fans all over the world.

Because of Li Huan, this game was also broadcast live on CCTV5. The commentator Tao Wei was introducing the lineups of both sides. Ritz, 4 midfielders Bowman, Ozil, Frings, Diego, 4 forwards Almeida, Pizarro.Compared with the starting lineup in the UEFA Cup final, the only changes in Bremen are that Diego replaced Meyer and Almeida replaced Rosenberg. This is Bremen's strongest lineup.

Compared with the Champions League, Hoffenheim's starting lineup has also changed to a certain extent. In the Champions League, Hoffenheim is mainly defensive, but now they have an attacking lineup. Stavo one.

The goalkeeper is Hildebrand, the four backs are Li Huan as the left back, the center backs are Simunić and Compaq, the right back becomes Baker, Ibetzberg sits on the bench, and the midfielder is Gustavo, Arshavin, Eduardo, the three strikers are the strongest combination of Demba Ba, Saviola and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

However, after Tao Wei introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, he hardly focused on the field. He was all attracted by the stands and VIP boxes, and the shock in his heart could be described as a bolt from the blue.A DFB-Pokal final will naturally attract many figures from the German football, political and entertainment circles. This is not uncommon, but today’s stands are quite different. There are so many fans who will exclaim when they see it. figure.

The first thing scanned by the telephoto lens is the head coach of Inter Milan, Mourinho. This rebellious coach is watching the field and writing something in his notebook. The person sitting beside him is actually Moratti, the owner of Inter Milan, kept his eyes on the pitch, following a player who was constantly moving. This player was Li Huan.

The camera turned again, and it was Real Madrid's chairman Florentino who appeared in the box. This business and football giant was chatting happily with Zidane next to him. The object of the two people's pointing was obviously also Li Huan. .

In several other boxes, Tao Wei and Duan Xuan actually saw Manchester United coach Ferguson, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, Manchester City coach Hughes and CEO Gary Cook, Chelsea sports director Kenyon, Bayern President Beckenbauer.

Tao Wei was stunned and said to Duan Xuan next to him: "What are these people trying to do? Do they all want to attack Li Huan? God, they are simply crazy. A Champions League didn't attract so many coaches and managers. After this game, the pressure on the Hoffenheim club may not be inferior to the sky falling."

Duan Xuan was also dumbfounded, but he understood immediately, and said: "After the Champions League ended, Li Huan said in an on-site interview that his future was uncertain. The media has been reporting on the Champions League for the past two days, and there is no mention of Li Huan's transfer. But these giants have sharper noses than hounds, so they must have smelled something different."

Tao Wei couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "The seven giants make a move together. If Li Huan really wants to transfer, the transfer market this summer will be lively. It must be earth-shattering and bloody."

Duan Xuandao: "In today's football world, only Li Huan, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Messi can cause an earth-shattering transfer chain storm, and Ronaldo, Kaka, and Messi may not leave, and Li Huan will naturally Become the object of competition among all the giants. Unexpectedly, another sky-high transfer fee will explode this year, breaking Zidane's record of 50 million euros."

Tao Wei shook his head and said: "A team like Hoffenheim has won the Champions League. Is it really due to Rangnick? For a star like Li Huan, as long as he wants to transfer, Moratti, who has not won the championship for 44 years, is not like a madman. I'm afraid I won't watch a piece of fat fall into the mouths of other clubs, I think the transfer fee is likely to exceed 16 million."

Duan Xuan listened to Tao Wei's analysis, and said: "From what you say, it's really possible, but the key now is whether Li Huan will leave. Hoffenheim has treated him well."

Tao Wei smiled slightly and said, "About Li Huan's transfer, in fact, I have heard a faint rumor. It is said that it was spread by a reporter who had an affair with Li Huan. If Li Huan does not win the Champions League, Li Huan will continue to stay, but if Li Huan wins the Champions League, most of them will leave."

Duan Xuan glanced at Tao Wei, and the two of them immediately knew each other. They both knew who this female reporter was, but they both worked in this profession, and no one would tell the truth. Duan Xuan said: "With Li Huan's character, this is really It is possible to help Hoffenheim win all the honors, and he has nothing to pursue. For a higher goal, it is also very possible to change to another club. Hoffenheim is unable to keep people. Will definitely choose to sell for a little more money.”

Tao Wei said: "It should be like this, but Li Huan has a very good relationship with the boss of Hoffenheim, so he probably won't tear himself apart. He will also help Hoffenheim earn more transfer fees to subsidize his old club."

Duan Xuandao: "Which club do you think Li Huan will choose?"

Tao Wei pondered: "The Premier League and La Liga are all possible. Serie A is already in decline, and the highly capitalized Premier League can also pay Li Huan a higher annual salary. Of course, Real Madrid and Barcelona can also afford this money. Real Madrid's transfer records are all kept by Real Madrid, but it's hard for anyone to guess Li Huan's mind."

The two were too busy talking about Li Huan's transfer, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the game on the field. At this time, Bremen scored just 5 minutes into the game.

Werder Bremen didn't even get a seat in the UEFA Cup next season this season, and there is no possibility of relegation. The UEFA Cup final was finished on the 21st, and all their energy was used to prepare for the German Cup final. They entered the state of Bihofen Heim is much faster, while Hoffenheim is obviously still immersed in the joy of winning the Champions League. Werder Bremen counterattacked with a long pass from the center. The ball was distributed to the left, and Ozil inserted his left foot and shot from a small angle. The ball passed between the legs of Simunić, who came to tackle him, and formed a half-high ball. Hilde, who had already made a blocking action to the end Bran had no time to react, the ball flew over him and into the goal, 0-1, Werder Bremen lead.
