Hoffenheim's opponent in the third round of the league is the newly promoted Heidenheim.
This is a county located in the Baden-Stuttgart administrative region, the capital Heidenheim.
Heidenheim is another Baden-W¨¹rttemberg team that has risen in recent years.
It has also eaten up the dividends of the football reform in Baden-W¨¹rttemberg and the bonus of Jinyuan football, and it has risen rapidly.
?From a North-South Regional League team to the German Super League
The most interesting thing is that, as a team from the Stuttgart administrative region, they stepped on the Stuttgart club to enter the German Super League.
Many people expect that this 'Heim' will be more able to continue the performance of their predecessor.
But Heidenheim's performance in the German Super League was disappointing.
Lost both games! This time s hucang.cc Zhang Si
And a big loss.
Heidenheim's performance in the Bundesliga has been ups and downs, let alone the Bundesliga where the competition is more intense and strong teams are rampant.
In the face of this other little brother, Hoffenheim didn't save face, and most of them came off the bench.
When seeing this starting list, even the commentator was dumbfounded.
"Hoffenheim's starting lineup"
He contemplated for a long time before choking out a sentence; "Hoffenheim is preparing for the Champions League, let the main players get a full rest!"
He really couldn't find anything else to say, so he rounded up the matter.
Isn't this blatant contempt.
Not counting goalkeepers, there are a total of ten players, eight of whom are substitutes, and the main starting players are all sitting on the bench.
What is this not contempt?
Of course, the commentator also understood some problems and continued; "It is likely that in the last game, the performance of Hoffenheim's starting main force made the head coach extremely angry. In the post-match press conference, Steven was also serious. Criticizing the players, obviously he is warning the proud players!"
At the same time, the camera focuses on Steven.
Steven was standing on the sideline, with his hands in his pockets, his face indifferent, without any expression.
Assistant coach Wagner stepped forward and said, "Eight substitutes, isn't this punishment a little too much?"
He felt that Steven was playing with fire.
If you really lose the game, you will be scolded.
But Steven said indifferently; "If you lose, you lose!"
Wagner froze for a moment, and said, "Are you training soldiers?"
Steven turned his head and smiled.
Wagner was really shocked now!
Training on the stage of the German Super League?
How bold you are, damn it!
"Dude, are you sure you want to play like this? This is no joke."
"I know exactly what I'm doing!" Steven said; "Our substitutes didn't gain much league experience last season. Although they played many games in the German Cup, the intensity of the German Cup is different from that of the league. So, I need them to adapt to the intensity of the league quickly, and I don't have time for them to adapt slowly."
"I've already applied to the club. I hope they don't pursue results too much this season!"
Steven turned his head and said.
Wagner froze for a moment, and said, "They agreed?"
Steven shrugged: "The club has always been the most courageous."
"No! It's impossible!" Wagner shook his head. He knew the club's top management very well, and they wouldn't talk so easily.
Hearing this, Steven said helplessly; "Of course, I still promise them to win the Champions League within two seasons!"
"this"
Steven shook his head and said; "So, buddy, we're running out of time, we need them to speed up their growth!"
It is the first time for Carlos and others to participate in the German Super League.
And it is also the first time to play on the starting list, all of them are full of energy and full of desire to attack.
The same goes for the defense.
For these Hoffenheim substitute defenders, they are so excited that even if a crazy bull rushes to the front line, they will desperately tackle the bull's four hooves!
Compared with the substitute players, Leo and Habr are calm.
The two of them were the starting picks, so they didn't feel that excited.
What they are doing now is observing their teammates.
Habr is very calm. In the current Hoffenheim team, many players don't get used to it enough.
Habr is not familiar with every player, either.
For this, he needs to find a focus.
For this focus, choose between Kuslian and Carloste.
Kuslian played in the first round, and he formed a good cooperation with Varim.
Carlos has performed very well in the German Cup.
Both of these players can become the focus of the offense.
Of course, if it is really unreliable, he still has Leo!
Finally, he turned his gaze to Leo's direction.
Leo also turned his head at the same time, and the two nodded their heads slightly in the air.
The game is about to begin.
Heidenheim took the lead.
Facing Hoffenheim, they were guilty.
The prestige of the Hoffenheim team in Baden-W¨¹rttemberg hangs over every team in Baden-W¨¹rttemberg.
This is like Munich 1900 in Bayern.
No one dared to provoke them.
Of course, in addition to these, before the game, they were also faintly excited.
After all, their opponent is Hoffenheim!
That European top four team!
It's not too much even if you lose.
But this mood was ruined a few minutes ago. Seeing Hoffenheim's almost full bench lineup, Heidenheim only felt insulted.
For this reason, they hold their breath one by one, wanting to prove themselves.
Heidenheim kicked off and passed the ball towards the back.
However, Hoffenheim attacked immediately and began to press high.
No one expected that Hoffenheim would do this as soon as they came up, and Heidenheim's rhythm was immediately disrupted, and everyone was in a hurry.
And in this chaotic rhythm, losing the ball is only a matter of time.
Sure enough, 4 minutes later, Heidenheim made a hasty attack and was held firmly in the arms of goalkeeper Yuta Fukuoka, which also meant that their first attack was over.
Heidenheim retreated quickly, running fast one by one.
For fear of running slowly, Hoffenheim scored.
And Hoffenheim did not rush forward, but continued to pass around Habr. .
Under Habr's control of the rhythm, Hoffenheim began to move forward slowly.
This also made Heidenheim feel a lot of pressure.
Their defensive strength began to focus on the left wing. After all, the name Leo Meget attracted enough attention from them.
Habr also noticed this scene, and couldn't help laughing secretly; "You guessed wrong!"
Immediately, Habr kicked the through ball obliquely, pierced the opponent's defense line directly, and came to the neutral position on the right wing.
Kuslian showed his speed. The 33-year-old Kusli ran at a safe speed, but he dropped the opponent's right back by one body distance. 强牺 shucang.cc 读牺
Kuslian immediately faced the ball and made a pass.
Carlos took off to compete for the top.
However, his back was blocked and he failed to touch the ball.
Heidenheim's defenders also breathed a sigh of relief.
"A little lower! The speed can be faster, I can keep up!"
Carlos called to Kuslian. Make Big z.com Make Xiao
Kuslian also nodded. This is their first cooperation, so there are naturally problems.
His crosses are all suitable for high center forwards like Varim.
The take-off height is high, and the ball speed cannot be too fast, so that the high center has enough time in the air.
