When Hoffenheim trained on the first day of the new season, everyone seemed particularly positive.
Whether it is old players or new players, they are all competing with each other, and the training effect is extremely good.
Of course, these are not the key points, everything depends on the effect of the game.
In order to verify the additive nature of signings, Steven organized a wave of confrontation matches within the team.
It is still the substitute vs the main force.
However, it can be clearly seen that the verification effect is not good.
The main reason is that the gap between the substitute and the main force is too great.
However, it can still be seen that after the signings, all positions have become stable.
In the confrontation match, Roquel scored two goals, which came from the assists of Huber and Leo.
After joining Hoffenheim, Roquel's offensive ability was fully developed.
Especially when he has a reliable side teammate and strong midfield support, his shooting efficiency has a terrifying bonus.
On the back line, Manny's cooperation with Sri Lanka is also good.
Although the two have not yet fully integrated into Hoffenheim's tactical system, they rely on their personal ability and years of cooperation to build a solid defense line, which can also make the forwards more comfortable to attack.
Even when the defensive pressure is not high, both full-backs can make attack options.
Although the ability of the substitute is not strong, Steven is still pleasantly surprised.
Because, he could feel that the tactical system in his mind was already vaguely outlined.
For this reason, he took the initiative to find Manny and Roquel to help them digest the tactics.
In Hoffenheim's system, the midfielder is the key, but the central defender is the basic.
If Manny and Sri Lanka can't withstand the pressure, then everything will be empty talk.
Steven's constant explanation of tactics to them, coupled with repeated encouragement, even made both of them feel a little flattered.
The training continues, and the running-in is also constantly followed up.
The media wanted to get some news about Hoffenheim, but Hoffenheim did not open the training ground, and reporters could watch and collect information in the first warm-up match.
Not long after, the first pre-match training session arrived.
Hoffenheim's opponent is the Millwall Lions from the British Championship!
This is a typical Premier League team, with a tough style, good at attacking and full of blood.
After Hoffenheim lost to Trafford last season, they began to look for English teams and wanted to further analyze the opponent's way of playing.
And the Millwall Lions are obviously a good choice.
As soon as the training match started, the Millwall Lions gave Hoffenheim a blow.
Relying on constant physical confrontation and aggressive pressing, they even took advantage.
But just five minutes later, Hoffenheim turned the situation around.
The crazy siege tactics of the Millwall Lions are equivalent to 'anaerobic exercise', which means you have to hold your breath all the time.
But in this process, they can't score goals, so when the gas is exhausted, they will enter a period of weakness.
And Hoffenheim is waiting for this opportunity.
Facing the attack of the Millwall Lions, Manny and Slanka commanded the defense, constantly building a defensive network.
They sniped the opponent's passing line again and again and denied the opponent's goal.
Even Alfred was called back to defend by Sri Lanka, completing the initial construction of a coordinated defense.
When the Millwall Lions failed to score, Hoffenheim's chance came.
Just the first counterattack, they scored a goal.
The ball was passed directly from Manny's feet to Habr, who quickly poked it to Ranier with a touch of the ball.
Ranier tapped his heel lightly while holding the ball with his back.
The ball rolled towards the space in front of the oblique, and there, Roquel had already started first, picked up the ball and entered the penalty area.
Under the defense of two Millwall Lions players, it should be a clever shot to complete the goal.
After scoring the goal, Roquel looked very excited.
He took the initiative to find Ranie and Habr to celebrate, and of course he did not forget Leo.
This goal made Roquel feel very comfortable.
He doesn't know how long he hasn't played like this.
Hoffenheim's offensive style is like a spring breeze to every winger and center forward.
Roquel does not need to drop back to catch the ball, nor does he need to take the initiative to create opportunities.
Their midfielders do all the work.
And his task is very simple.
Run to space and score a goal!
This is every striker's dream!
Now, Roquel also enjoys this treatment.
Of course, Roquel is not afraid of being misfired.
If this happens, their left wing and center will not be able to eat dry food.
Needless to say, Leo Meget's ability.
As long as he is negligent to guard against, he will tell the other party what cruelty is.
As for the center Varim, Roquel had never heard of the opponent before, but after getting to know him during this period of time, he could feel that the opponent also has a strong ability to threaten the goal.
It's like a trident, blocking one spike, the other two spikes can still poke you into a hornet's nest.
Moreover, the existence of three threatening offensive players also greatly reduced the pressure on Roquel.
During the Turin period, Roquel's misfiring represented the collapse of Turin's offense across the board.
This means that Roquel will try his best to score goals.
If he can't score, others can't score either.
This kind of pressure is huge and extremely tormenting.
But now, even if he is misfired, the other two muzzles will teach each other how to behave.
Thinking of this, Roquel couldn't help feeling sorry for Hoffenheim's offensive ability again.
Of course, the happiest thing is that he also became one of them.
When the game came to the second half, Steven changed several players one after another to try a new lineup.
The effect is good and bad, but overall it is still good.
The 90-minute game is over, and the final score between the two sides is 3:1.
Relying on the breakthrough ability of the two wings, Hoffenheim continued to destroy the defense line of the Millwall Lions, causing the opponent to collapse.
In this game, Roquel still scored twice and Varim scored a goal.
Although Leo scored a goal, he also scored an assist.
And Habr and Ranier also scored assists.
The effect is very good.
Three days later, Hoffenheim ushered in the second training match.
In this game, Steven arranged for Ravens to play, and Roquel sat on the bench.
However, Ravens' performance was disappointing.
After getting used to seeing Roquel fighting alone on the right, that kind of breakthrough like no one's land, they somewhat looked down on this former genius boy.
Although Ravens' performance is also very good, it cannot create the terrifying impact of Leo + Roquel flying with both wings.
The final game was won, but Ravens' evaluation in Steven's mind declined slightly.
In fact, it's not that Ravens is too weak, but that Roquel is too strong.
If facing European giants, Hoffenheim can still play this rhythm.
Then the 130 million spent is not wronged at all, and it is even a big profit. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
