Chapter 421 The decisive battle is about to begin

Long Bisheng opened the curtains, and a ray of morning light immediately shone on his body. The sun shone on his naked upper body, shining brightly, and his bronze skin shone with powerful light.

"Today is a good weather." Long Bisheng muttered, but he didn't care how developed his muscles were. He grabbed his clothes with his backhand and put them on, then pushed the door and walked out.

Lu Xiaoshan and Ning Xi got up earlier than him. When he opened the door and went out to the living room, the two girls had already prepared breakfast—a very rich breakfast.

There is a game in the afternoon, so I should eat more breakfast and less Chinese food, so that I can run unhindered on the court.

Long Bisheng's appetite has always been directly proportional to his physique, but this time he ate a little less for breakfast.

Ning Xi and Lu Xiaoshan, who were already familiar with him, quickly discovered his anomaly. With Long Bisheng's appetite, he could usually eat breakfast for three people when there was no competition, but today, the bread, chicken, and vegetable salad combined was only enough for two people. When he started wiping his mouth, there was still a lot of food left on the table.

Ning Xi is a good housekeeper, and Lu Xiaoshan is also meticulous, so the breakfast prepared by the two of them is often just enough for three people, leaving no leftovers - this is Lu Xiaoshan's way of maintaining health. Although her life was very hard before, she has always believed that eating leftovers is not nutritious, it is better to cook as much as possible.

"Are you not feeling well?" Lu Xiaoshan asked Long Bisheng a little nervously. Lu Xiaoshan knew how important today's game was. If Long Bisheng was uncomfortable, Hoffenheim's strength would be greatly affected. Lu Xiaoshan didn't care if Hoffenheim won or not, but she cared whether Long Bisheng could win a championship.

"Aaron, are you a little nervous?" Ning Xi asked with a smile, she still needs to be familiar with Long Bisheng.

Long Bisheng nodded, and did not deny this point. Although he didn't seem to know what nervousness was before, he was still a person and still had various emotions. In the past, he was not nervous before the game because he thought it was unnecessary. As long as he tried to play his best in the game, it was enough. But this time, he felt nervous.

He came to Europe to play games in 2006, and it has been more than six years now. He has won many individual honors, such as the World Youth Championship and Silver Boot, the Asian Cup Champion and Golden Boot, the top scorer of the League One, the top scorer of the British Championship, and the top scorer of the Bundesliga this year. Worth mentioning (relatively speaking).

And now, he has the opportunity to compete for the Bundesliga championship in one of the four major leagues!And the chances are quite big!Faced with such a temptation, Long Bisheng couldn't help becoming nervous. Although he slept well last night, when he woke up this morning, the tension began to fill his heart again.

"We can't help you with this." Ning Xi shrugged her shoulders. "Even fans like us will feel extremely nervous, let alone your players... But I think you also know that nervousness can only affect your performance on the court. You should have already understood this."

Long Bisheng smiled wryly: "Understanding does not mean being able to do it, Ning Xi."

"You should believe in your strength and your ranking." Ning Xi said, "Now you are two points ahead of Bayern, five to six points ahead of Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, and it's not in the middle of the league, but in the final stage of the league! At the Nou Camp, you made Barcelona miserable. They are a much stronger opponent than Bayern!"

"But we only drew Barcelona at the last moment at home." Long Bisheng said this on purpose, he needed Ning Xi's help to clear up this doubt, if he couldn't clear up, then maybe he would still be affected by his mentality on the court.

When Ning Xi lived with him in Leeds, when he often encountered difficulties, Ning Xi would always help him solve his psychological problems.As he became more and more mature, the times when he needed Ning Xi to do this became less and less, but today, he needed her help again, and her opinion was very important to him.

"You're right, it's a fact." Ning Xi didn't deny it: "If you win Barcelona at home, then you might eliminate Barcelona at home... But don't you think this is a good opportunity? This is a chance for you to clear your name! Beat Bayern and prove your ability! Let everyone know that your loss to Barcelona was only due to luck, and you are fully capable of beating Bayern and other European giants. You have the ability to become the Bundesliga champions this season! "

Long Bisheng heaved a sigh of relief and nodded: "Understood, this is an opportunity for us to prove our ability, this is an opportunity given to us by God, if we can't beat Bayern in this game, then it means that our failure this season is entirely due to our own reasons."

Having said that, he took another long breath, and then a smile appeared on his face: "I find that I am a little hungry again."

********************************************
Rangnick looked at his players. They had just finished warming up and returned to the locker room. There was no training in the morning, just some warm-up activities for the players to move their bodies, then took a nap, got up at one o'clock, ate something after getting up, and then came to the Rhein-Neckar Stadium.

When they were warming up on the pitch, there were huge cheers from the stands of the already overcrowded Rhein-Neckar Stadium. Today is a fantastic day for Hoffenheim fans. They thought they would never have the chance to see Hoffenheim win the championship, but this opportunity appeared in front of them.

Anyone can imagine how crazy the current Hoffenheim fans will be. All they want is the victory of this game, and this season's championship. They don't accept anything else!

Obviously, the emotions of the fans have affected the mentality of the players. After returning to the locker room, Rangnick has seen that they are a little nervous.

But what made Lannick happy was that although the players were nervous, they were not particularly nervous. They must have been able to devote themselves to the game on the court, especially Long Bisheng, who behaved as usual with a stable mentality.

Only this kind of mentality can allow players to exert their full abilities on the court, and even perform supernormally.

Of course, Lannick didn't know that Ning Xi had helped Long Bisheng adjust his mentality before coming to the club. If every agent could be like Ning Xi, maybe the head coach would have much less to worry about. However, the situation like Ning Xi and Long Bisheng rarely happened, and the probability of such a situation happening was too small.

Rangnick didn't say anything inspiring. There is no need for him to say such words. Every player already knows the importance of this game, so he is constantly explaining the tactics and taking the trouble to explain to every player what he needs to pay attention to.

In addition to impressing the players, he has another purpose in doing this, which is to let the players focus on the game faster and enter the game atmosphere faster, so that they have no time or extra thoughts to get nervous and think about things they shouldn't think about.

He arranged it in detail, and even the goalkeeper Hildebrand made him pay attention to Robben's long shot after cutting inside, Schweinsteiger's long shot from behind, Thomason Muller's goal in front of the goal...etc, etc., but he only said one sentence to Long Bisheng: "Do what you usually do on the field."

Long Bisheng laughed, of course he knows what he should do - what he does on the court has already surpassed the scope of a striker - he is the first point to get the ball when counterattacking, and he is the most important pawn in the penalty area when the attack fails.

It wasn't until the fourth official arrived to urge them on that Rangnick stopped his babbling, waved his hand and led his team off to the pitch.

This is a decisive battle, and the decisive battle is about to begin.

The players lined up at the entrance of the player tunnel, and the coach appeared on the coach's bench in advance.

Rangnick and Van Gaal met unexpectedly in front of the coach's bench. The two exchanged glances. As the host, Rangnick stretched out his hand: "I hope today is a wonderful game."

Van Gaal shook his hand: "I think so."

The two stopped talking nonsense, and walked towards their coaches separately.

Both of them knew how important this game was to both sides. Rangnick wanted to win his first heavyweight championship as a coach. With this championship, he could be among the top coaches in the Bundesliga, which was related to his future.As for Van Gaal, although he has won many top league championships, if he does not win this game, he will lose his well-paid job, and he also has to fight for his job.

Players from both sides began to appear on the field, and [-] Hoffenheim fans and [-] Bayern fans gave a huge cheer at the same time, welcoming their heroes on the pitch.

Many fans held replica Bundesliga silver platters in their hands, as if by doing so, they had already won the championship.

The decisive battle is about to begin.
