Chapter 111 Klinsmann's doubts

Leverkusen quickly counterattacked. The teenager Augusto resolutely stood on the side of safeguarding the team's interests, saying that the opponent was an uncivilized and "barbarian" who didn't know how to respect his opponent: People with bad mouths, we have nothing to do!

Salihovic is also very helpless about the other party's provocation: When the other party complains that we have no morals and qualities, and thinks that we are not worthy of being a public figure, please ask him to review himself first. Who initiated this war of words and who There is nothing to lose!
Demba Ba has always been a "thorny head", and now he will not let go of the opportunity to show his face.In the face of many media cameras, he even made an internationally accepted insulting gesture: Some people, some teams, in my eyes, are just a bunch of shit!That's right, stinky shit!You should know who I'm talking about!Yes, you get it!
These remarks caused an uproar in the media, and the German Football Association even issued him a fine of [-] euros for this.But who cares?For the enemy, we must use all means to suppress them.Just like Demba Ba, although he lost a lot of money, he was treated like a hero among Hoffenheim fans.

The war of words between the two sides made this game that has not yet started filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The game gradually came amidst this mutual abuse.

Bayer-Arena, Leverkusen, Germany.

At this moment, the stadium that can accommodate more than 3 people is already full of seats. Many home fans wearing the home team's traditional red and black jerseys are carrying big flags and large banners supporting the team, shouting constantly in the stands.There was a hustle and bustle in the stands, and bursts of madness came oncoming.The Hoffenheim fans who came to Leverkusen with the team wore blue jerseys and stood in a corner of the stands.Although they were not many in number and were covered by the home team's crazy shouts at the moment, they were not in a hurry. They displayed banners supporting the team, and then yelled at each other.Maybe they don't have an advantage in numbers, but their enthusiasm for the game and support for the team will never lose to anyone!

From a distance, the red, black and blue of the entire stadium are distinct, like two armies facing each other, and the thick smell of gunpowder wafts from every corner of the stadium.The game has not yet started, and a war belonging to the fans has begun to pervade.

"Good evening, audience, this is the Bayer Arena. In a little while, there will be the most watched strong dialogue in this round of the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen will play against the "hillies" who came to challenge. Hoffenheim. I'm Worf, the commentator." A mid-air voice came from the live radio.

As the football commentator at home, Wolf is naturally a loyal supporter of Leverkusen.Before the game, the two sides fought a war of words, and some of Hoffenheim's remarks also made him deeply irritated, so he spoke in a bad tone and satirized the opponent as a "hillbilly".To be honest, although Hoffenheim achieved good results last season, in the eyes of most people, this small village with only more than 3000 people has always been in the low-level league in the century-old history of the team. The team is a veritable "hillbilly".

"Actually, I still admire Hoffenheim. Their football, I think, will be the future development direction of German football. I have also heard about the war of words between the two sides before the game, and I am confused by it: these two teams There is no deep resentment, and there have never been many fights in history, so it is really surprising that the anger is so great." Sitting next to Worf is a middle-aged man with full hair and a straight nose.He flipped through the documents in his hand, bowed his head and smiled.The deep eyes are like the bright starry sky, it is easy for people to sink into it.

"Jurgen, I don't agree with what you said. Hoffenheim did achieve good results last season, but who knows what will happen in the future? At least for now, this country team will definitely not be ours The opponent's!" Worf retorted on the spot.Although the other party was once the object of his admiration, he felt a little unacceptable that the other party would admire a "hillies" so much.He has to justify the name of his team. If he wants to lead the trend of Bundesliga football, it should be Leverkusen.In his opinion, even the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich can't compare, Leverkusen is the best!

"Maybe." The blond man chuckled noncommittally, and then added, "I think this match should be very intense. I'm looking forward to it."

If any senior fans saw his face, they would exclaim: Jurgen Klinsmann!

Yes, he is the legendary German superstar, Jurgen Klinsmann known as the "Golden Bomber".As a player, he won numerous honors, and in his subsequent coaching career, he also created good results. He led the German national team to the third place in the World Cup in 2006, and then took over the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. pointer.It's a pity that he, who led the national team well, did not achieve convincing results in the club, and finally resigned sadly.

No one expected that he would appear at the Bayer Arena and even become a commentator for the game.

As early as 2007, Klinsmann signed a two-year employment contract with the German pay TV station "Arena" as a football commentator for the Bundesliga.Klinsmann is no stranger to this job. Although he did not continue to work as a commentator after the contract expired, he still occasionally receives invitations from some TV stations in some high-profile games.

Just like now, he received an invitation from the "old club" Arena to come to the scene as Worf's partner to explain the game.In fact, he was very concerned about this strong dialogue before the game. To be precise, he paid attention to Hoffenheim.The passionate play of last season's newly promoted team made his eyes shine, and the strong strength and unyielding fighting spirit it showed opened his eyes even more.He once predicted that Hoffenheim would be successful, and it turns out that Hoffenheim's performance last season did not disappoint him.

This is a team that is as young and full of potential as the German national team!They may not be well-known, they may be inexperienced, and they may be just a group of "stupid youths" in the eyes of many people, but when they mature, their dazzling light will shine all over the world!
After receiving the invitation, Klinsmann did not hesitate. At that time, he was still at home in the United States to reunite with his relatives, directly booked a ticket to Germany, and hurried back.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. Leverkusen has a four-three-three formation in this game. Goalkeeper Reni Adler, four defenders Gonzalo Castro, Sami Hyypia, Manuel Alfredrich, Mitchell Kadlec/Three midfielders, Trankilo Barnetta, Simon Rolfess, Augusto/Three forwards, Alan Deldiyock, Patrick Black Holmes, Stefan Kisling.

Hoffenheim's starting lineup is 442, goalkeeper Hildebrand, four defenders are Beck, Simunić, Comper, Serna / four midfielders are Gustavo, Weiss, Eduardo , Salihovic/The two forwards are Ibisevic and Obasi. "

"Haha, this is really ironic. Hoffenheim, who is good at playing offensive football, abandoned his usual style of play and played a relatively safe 442. This is really beyond everyone's expectations. I don't understand what Rangnick thinks, This is his tactical arrangement, we have nothing to do with it. But presumably the fans are more willing to see a wonderful attack than an offensive and defensive drill. Leverkusen's offensive power is second to none in the entire Bundesliga. Could it be that, Lannick scared?"

Wolf held Hoffenheim's playing list, with a smug smile on his face.The match hadn't even started yet, and under the prestige of his side, he was forced to give up his best style of play. How could this not make him excited.Of course, he kept his position in mind, and immediately spoke out to ridicule his opponent.

His voice also aroused wild shouts from the home fans. Some fans continued to boo in the direction of the visiting team's locker room, and many home team fans made indecent gestures towards the visiting team fans.

Klinsmann frowned.Rangnick's formation really surprised him. As a professional who has been following Hoffenheim, he is well aware of the team's biggest characteristics and most vulnerable places.The continuous and rapid attack is their advantage, and it is not impossible to base on the defense and then slowly figure it out, but this is like giving up their best kung fu and using a jerky kung fu to fight against the enemy. What is the result? Is it really hard to say?

Lannick scared?The provocation of Leverkusen on the opposite side, backed down?

Klinsmann shook his head with a wry smile, throwing this unrealistic and absurd idea out of his mind.If you say that Lannick is timid, is he a hundred believers?Facing the most powerful Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, who dared to fight against each other, and even Lannick, who frantically played a 343 formation, would he back down?Are you kidding me?Can Leverkusen be stronger than Bayern Munich?No matter how sharp the attack power is, can it be sharper than Bayern Munich?
Klinsmann never believed that Rangnick would be forced to change teams out of cowardice.As an excellent football coach, he should be very clear about the strengths of his team.This is a young team, and it is also a group of energetic young people. Their biggest feature is playing downwind.And the continuous offense can easily make them enter a state of how to play.Although there are disadvantages, young people's mentality is unstable, and it is easy to lose their positions after a long attack.However, he can think of these problems, and Lannick must also know that there will be ways to deal with them.

Klinsmann was puzzled, and finally had to give up.Since you can't figure it out, let's see the outcome in the game.However, Worf's unscrupulous jeers and the boos of the home team fans made his face sink slightly, and he smiled helplessly and shook his head: These fanatical fans really lost their minds about their team. Opportunities will not be missed.Unfortunately, is the fact really what you think?
Klinsmann didn't know.But when he saw the temporary partner next to him smiling so conceitedly, as if Leverkusen was the only one in the world, his brows became tighter and tighter.He doesn't know what Hoffenheim's starting lineup intends, but Leverkusen's starting lineup makes him faintly worried.

While it looks like Leverkusen's starters are the best stars they can come up with, games are not won by whoever has more stars.At least in Klinsmann's view, this lineup has obvious flaws.That is lack of coordination.It is true that the personal abilities of these players are extremely good, but if they cannot be combined as a whole, no matter how outstanding their personal abilities are, it will be in vain.

Since the Daum era, Leverkusen has been known for its unique offensive football in the Bundesliga, but the current situation is no longer the same.Saying goodbye to Labbadia's flamboyant style, the "Heynckes" system has gradually made Leverkusen more stable. To put it bluntly, defense is stronger than offense.Now they are good at playing defensive counterattacks, but they have almost forgotten about their old line of attacking.Such a team is now using their long-forgotten kung fu to face the enemy, and Klinsmann can only wish that they can break through Hoffenheim's goal first.Otherwise, the outlook is bleak.
