In the three training games, Hoffenheim played more difficultly.
Both Stanford and Turin are Champions League-level teams, and the strength of their lineup can be seen.
And in order to test the lineup, they will not be waterproof, causing Hoffenheim to play a little passively.
However, Hoffenheim has grown a lot after last season's Bundesliga, especially the growth of the little guys like Habr is amazing.
In this training match, although Hoffenheim lost, they scored 4 goals and 3 goals in Stanford and Turin respectively.
It didn't take long for the game to be staged as a confrontation!
Stanford and Turin are very satisfied with this training game. Hoffenheim's pass control and aggressive offensive play made them feel enough pressure.
Although it has not yet reached the level of Barcelona, ????Hoffenheim is already at the same level as Barcelona in terms of pass control.
And they have a vague feeling that Hoffenheim will become stronger in the future.
It has to be admitted that this is a potential opponent.
Judging from the training process, Hoffenheim is still improving. They are like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing various knowledge and nutrients to strengthen themselves.
It's just that the two training games were lost, which had a certain impact on morale.
But not too big, after all, Hoffenheim has rarely won warm-up matches.
Their warm-up teammates are always many times stronger than themselves.
At the seventh level, the opponent in the warm-up match is the fourth level!
In the fourth level, look for the Bundesliga team.
Now promoted to the Bundesliga, a fake giant, a giant, plus a Ligue 1 powerhouse.
To some extent, they are already mentally prepared.
However, in the last game, Hoffenheim still won Lyon with their steady pass control, which made them feel a little relieved.
After the three warm-up matches were over, Zhang Xian also ordered the news department to release the news as soon as possible.
There is no need to hide the situation of the warm-up match.
Hoffenheim fans are already immune to losing in the warm-up match, as long as they play well in the main game.
Moreover, Hoffenheim's warm-up match reports are always very detailed, and the score can be ignored directly to understand the player's status from some details.
Although the record of one win and two losses is not good, it also depends on who the opponent is. Facing Stanford and Turin, Hoffenheim's loss is not ugly, and judging from the battle report, there are still back and forth.
It can be seen that Hoffenheim's growth last season, so Hoffenheim fans are not too worried.
The only thing to worry about is the problem of strain.
Jamie, Rudy Mode and others are seamlessly connected from the 2017-2018 Bundesliga-World Cup-2018-2019 Bundesliga.
They failed to get enough rest, which will make Hoffenheim have a certain degree of hidden danger.
Lei Ao, Habr and others are not bad. After all, they are substitutes and have not played too many games.
On the other hand, Jamie and Ludi Moder did not lose a game.
Especially Jamie, who played all the way to the semi-finals, needs extra attention.
For this reason, the Hoffenheim Club also specially asked two people to undergo regular health tests. As long as there is a problem, they will be forced to rest.
The league is about to start, and the Europa League is coming.
At this juncture, Hoffenheim dare not be careless.
On August 15, the German Football Association announced the league schedule for this season and the opening day of the first game.
The first round of the 2018-2019 Bundesliga season officially started on August 25.
There are only ten days of preparation time left, and the major clubs have to adjust their status to prepare for the new season.
And Hoffenheim also reduced the training intensity to a certain extent after the warm-up match, mainly focusing on restoring physical fitness and recuperating.
It is worth mentioning that the qualifying rounds of the Europa League have already begun in full swing.
The Europa League does not have such a high threshold as the UEFA Champions League, and requires various channels to qualify for participation.
Compared with the peak matchup in the Champions League, the Europa League is more like a carnival for grassroots teams.
Some teams that do not belong to the five major leagues can also qualify for the Europa League through qualifying matches.
So it's a long overdue.
The entire qualifying match will take 4 months.
And in September, the UEFA Europa League entered the group stage. At this time, players like Hoffenheim and Red Factory have the right players.Only strong teams with high qualifications will appear one after another.
The competition system of the Europa League is divided into three parts.
Qualifying round - additional round - main match!
Until August 17th, the three qualifying rounds officially came to an end. A total of 44 teams entered the play-offs.
But it doesn't mean that all 44 teams can participate in the main game.
In the next step, they will also play play-offs, and finally form 32 clubs with the teams that have directly qualified for the UEFA Europa League. They will be divided into eight groups to present the main match in the form of group confrontation.
And Shaq United will play this play-off.
If Hoffenheim were fifth in points last season, they would switch identities.
However, Hoffenheim is lucky, they already have the Europa League qualification, so don't worry about these things.
Honestly, just wait until the main match in September.
Time passed little by little.
The residual temperature of the World Cup has gradually dropped, and the fans' attention has also begun to turn to the upcoming major leagues.
Especially for Bundesliga fans.
Last season's 'Bundesliga Smash Bros.', what they watched was quite enjoyable.
Five teams competed for the championship, and the point difference was very small until the last moment. It can be said that the fierce competition is very exciting.
In view of the situation last season, the five teams have more or less expanded their benches to avoid accidents caused by fierce competitions.
? Some are aggressive signings, some are promoting youth training, and the means are different, but the postures shown one by one make the fans feel excited.
Because they are all expanding their 'armaments', it can be seen from this aspect that these five teams will not stop in the new season.
The major media are also constantly advocating the Bundesliga.
After last season, the Bundesliga's fierce competition mode has caused the ratings to continue to rise, and even sold a lot of broadcast rights.
This not only surprised the German Football Association, but even those clubs were delighted to see the extra money.
This season, neither Munich 1900 nor Leverkusen have changed much.
For the impact of Hoffenheim, Dortmund and other teams, they don't seem to be nervous,
Instead of buying players to expand the bench, some players were promoted from the youth training and some loan players were recalled.
In contrast, Hoffenheim and Dortmund are waving banknotes and buying wildly.
The German media also once again felt the generosity of Hoffenheim.
Two seasons spent 200 million for transfers. It can be said that this is already the first big dog in the Bundesliga.
Many people are afraid to call Hoffenheim a "hillbilly" now. Have you ever seen such a rich bumpkin?
Of course, contempt still has to be contemptuous.
For example, Hoffenheim now has another title of "upstart"! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
