Chapter 39 Hoffenheim
Coming to Hoffenheim, Germany, Chen Feng was impressed by the remoteness of Hoffenheim. Chen Feng and Nagelsmann first flew to Frankfurt, then took a taxi to Heidelberg, and finally had to take a bus to Hoffenheim Village. It is not wrong to say that it is the first time to come to such a remote town. Chen Feng did not expect that a Bundesliga team would be in such a small village.

Nagelsmann acted as a tour guide for Chen Feng along the way, introducing the scenery of German cities to Chen Feng along the way, and introducing some legendary stories about Hoffenheim and the club. Only then did he know that Hoffenheim is not in Hoffenheim. The fans proved that although the club moved to Sinsheim due to home problems, the roots of the club are in Hoffenheim, and the club will always move forward together with Hoffenheim fans.

Originally a village club, Hoffenheim had been competing as an amateur club in the seventh domestic "Baden-Württemberg A-Liga" (Baden-Württemberg A-Liga) until 1990, when Dietmar Hope, who had trained in the Hoffenheim youth team, returned to his mother club. As one of the co-founders of SAP, the largest software company in Europe, Hope invested money in Hoffenheim.

Since 2000, Dietmar Hope, the founder of SAP, has been continuously injecting capital.Hoffenheim began to expand and recruited players and coaches with Bundesliga experience in 2006, including Ralf Rangnick, who had coached Stuttgart, Hannover 96 and Schalke 04, as the head coach. He signed a five-year contract, and the players included Jochen Seitz and Tomislav Maric.The investment paid off. Hoffenheim won the runner-up in the 2006/07 Regional League (Southern Division). On the closing day, they defeated Fürth 5-0, overwhelmed Cologne, who had already qualified for promotion, and won the runner-up. After the 2007/08 season, the two-year promotion finally came to the top-flight Bundesliga.

And in the season when he was promoted to the Bundesliga, Hope decided to build a stadium suitable for the Bundesliga and future European competition qualifications. Yes, Hope is so confident. He firmly believes that Hoffenheim will not struggle in the Bundesliga, or even sink in the Bundesliga.

The fact is indeed exactly as Hope hoped, his investment paid off quickly, the team was promoted to the Bundesliga two years later, and in the final season of promotion to the Bundesliga, the momentum was like a rainbow. Won the Bundesliga half-range shooter king.

However, due to too many injuries, it is a pity that only No.7 was obtained, and it just missed the European war.

So in the fourth season of promotion to the Bundesliga, they decided to increase investment and successively introduced Werder Bremen's German goalkeeper Wiese, and Leverkusen's Swiss striker Deldiyock, hoping to enter the European arena.However, the 2012/13 season became the most turbulent season since Hoffenheim was promoted to the Bundesliga.

This season Hoffenheim experienced Markus Babbel (Markus Babbel, 2012.12.03 fired), Frank Kramer (2012.12.03-2012.12.18, acting head coach), Markus Kurz (2012.12.18-2013.04.02. Gisdol, took office on April 2013.04.02, 2) After four head coaches, Hoffenheim reversed Dortmund 1:[-] in the final round and was thrilled to avoid relegation in the Bundesliga.

Since this season, Hope has gradually stopped investing heavily in the team. It is not that there is a problem with Hope’s funds, but that he has discovered that the team does not rely solely on his investment to achieve results. German clubs have never invested heavily like the Premier League and used money to create giants. The Bundesliga policy no longer allows him to do so, and he is getting older.So where should the team go and return to the seventh tier?This is what Hope does not want to see. He hopes that Hoffenheim can stay in the Bundesliga and become another century-old club.

So Hope began to start Hoffenheim's youth training, investing more funds in the Dietmar Hope Stadium and training base in Hoffenheim Village, and sold the team's home naming rights to the famous German solar energy technology company Walso Solar.

Hope's actions have received good responses in recent years. Hoffenheim's youth training started late, but the effect is very good. In the following seasons, Hoffenheim's youth training has received good investment and many good seedlings have emerged. Many outstanding talented players have also been discovered from other clubs through scouting.

Although this was exchanged for the turmoil of the team's first team, because in the middle of the 2010-11 season, Rangnick's favorite disciple Luis Gustavo was sold to Bayern.Rangnick believed that selling the team's best player was a lack of ambition, which was not in line with his goal of leading the team to the European arena, so he then resigned. Even two years ago, the team was on the verge of relegation, but this could not resist Hope's determination.

Usually during the relegation period, the team will invite a relegation expert, but Hoffenheim broke the routine. They wanted to try their luck, so they invited coach Marcus Gistol, hoping that he could build a team that can enter the European war.

Although Hoffenheim led by Marcus Guisdor encountered some difficulties in the middle of this season, fortunately the team still gritted their teeth and persisted. Finally, before the end of the season, the situation stabilized and tried to rush into the European war again, but luck seemed not to be on Hoffenheim's side again.

　I am not familiar with the Bundesliga and Hoffenheim. The information in this article is all from Baidu. If there is any mistake, please lightly spray me, just point it out and tell me, thank you!I belong to the kind of people who watch the game when there is a good game. I am not a fan of that league or a die-hard fan of that league. If I have to say that I pay more attention to that league, it is the Premier League. Because I am from Guangdong, Guangdong TV has introduced the Premier League a long time ago, so I naturally paid attention to it.
