Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 76
"This kid's physical fitness is really good!"

"Well, can you compare with a pervert? A pervert, do you understand what a pervert is? This is called a pervert!"

"This kid is not only abnormal in physical ability, but also abnormal in other aspects, such as body, strength, and speed. Hey, there is no comparison between people!"

"Football isn't just about physical strength..."

"But if you don't have a good body, you can't play football well!"

Could it be that his teammates are already used to such discussions? What he wants most now is to improve himself as soon as possible and adapt to the rhythm of European football, so he is more involved in training.

After half a month of training with everyone, Mo Fei gradually had a more intuitive impression of the strength of the team.Although I knew that Hoffenheim was seventh in the league before, it was just a statistic and it didn't explain anything.But the longer he was in the team, the more he understood the strength of the team. As an analogy, he used to think that Quanxing was already very strong, but in comparison, to put it bluntly, he was like a child There is absolutely no comparison with a mature man.He also realized more and more clearly that Hoffenheim is really a club with great ambitions, and they are eager for higher honors and more praise.

Rangnick proved his and the club's "ambition" with his actions!
With the current lineup, it is completely enough to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga. If you are lucky, you may be able to qualify for Europe, but Rangnick is not satisfied. He wants more. He wants this small team Standing on top of Germany, even on top of Europe.If Hoffenheim just wants to play soy sauce in the Bundesliga, there is no need to hire a gold medal coach like him to coach. Just find a good coach and you can play in the Bundesliga with the current lineup. There is no problem in wanting to relegation.Since Hope invited him, it proves that the team has greater ambitions.It is a good thing that the whole club is full of desire for honor, but he also understands that although this lineup has strong offensive power, it also has many weaknesses. Defensive ability is generally a defect, and there are only two outstanding central defenders. , Once injured, the defense line will be unstable immediately, which is also a hidden danger.

Such a lineup is obviously wishful thinking to win the championship!However, Rangnick had his own plans and set his sights on the transfer market in order to find excellent players and strengthen the team.

July 25, Hoffenheim and Christian.Eichner signed a three-year contract. The former Karlsruhe left-back who joined for free is fast and has good awareness. More importantly, although his assist ability is average, his defense is extremely fierce , which is exactly what the team needs.His joining will greatly enhance Hoffenheim's defensive strength in the backcourt.

In addition, with the financial support of the big boss Hope, Rangnick went all out to buy the players he needed from the transfer market.

350 million euros will be the core of Hertha Berlin's defense and the captain of Croatia Josip.Simunić was brought to the Rhein-Neckar Stadium. The defender is 195 centimeters tall, which greatly strengthened the team's air defense capability. Big, coupled with his excellent game reading ability, always appearing in the most appropriate place, and rich game experience, these are what the young Hoffenheim lacks.With his presence, I believe the defense will be much stronger.

280 million bought Shakhtar Donetsk's main right back Dario.Srna, the Croatian player who can play both right back and left and right midfielder is a versatile player. He is the "one-of-a-kind" role that every head coach likes. He can do a good job in every position and belongs to socialism Bricks can be moved wherever they are needed. Although Srna, who was born in 82, is still very young, his performance on the court is very mature, and his performance has always been very stable. With his extremely fast speed, he has strong concealment and attack power when he inserts behind the right back position. This is very similar to the former French superstar Sagnol, but his defense is tighter than Sagnor. His arrival will improve the team's offensive and defensive strength a lot.

In order to avoid the situation where the team's forwards are injured and no one is available, the team's poor record was caused by Ibisevic's sudden injury last season. Rangnick will never allow this to happen again. Rings.Tago was brought to Germany from Al-Ittihak in Saudi Arabia. This young black guy with outstanding skills will enhance the team's bench thickness.Rangnick also bought out the ownership of Ghanaian midfielder Wosa who was rented out last season. Although this youngster is young but has rich game experience, he can play the three positions of central defender, defensive midfielder and central midfielder. "The player.

In addition, Lannick also named a man who is said to be only 19 years old, Franco.Sukulini's Argentine star recruited under his command.This player may not be well-known in Europe, but he is well-known in South America.Sukulini is only 174cm tall, but he has an excellent view of the overall situation, outstanding footwork, and his seemingly unlimited physical fitness is enough to support him to cover the entire midfield. Marking tasks, but also can effectively hold the ball, organize the attack, and has the ability to pass the threatening ball.

In Rangnick's words, it's a genius, and it's an investment in the team's future.

As the days passed, new teammates gradually came to the team to report, but the genius of Sukulini did not show up for a long time. It is said that he is still in Argentina to deal with his own affairs, and he will come to Germany and the team after a while confluence.

Teammates often talk about this mysterious teammate who hasn't appeared until now, but Mo Fei doesn't care. No matter who he is, as long as he trains well, he will definitely impress the head coach and have more opportunities to play.For him, only by working harder can he make great progress.Football always comes first!
Time passed quickly, and it was already the end of July in a blink of an eye.In this nearly one month, Mo Fei has gradually integrated into the team. Although he has not reached the point of understanding, but the tacit understanding between them has been established, and the cooperation is also familiar, and they can often play some wonderful cooperation.And the new teammates who have transferred get along well with everyone. Except for Suculini who is still stranded in Argentina due to family delays, all the players of the first team in the new season have all joined the team. The atmosphere of the team is very good Harmonious, the players are full of expectations for the new season, and the desire to fight is very strong.

Mo Fei's life is also very fulfilling. In addition to insisting on training on the court every day and conducting special training tailored for him by the coaching staff, he also learns German under Liu Yang's professor at night.In just one month, Mo Fei has been able to communicate with his teammates fluently in German, which surprised his teammates. You must know that it took them at least three months to reach Mo Fei’s level when they learned German.Lannick also expressed surprise at Mo Fei's language talent, but only Mo Fei knew that this was the result of his redoubled efforts.In order to better learn German and deepen communication with teammates, Mo Fei, with the help of Liu Yang, registered at the University of Mannheim in his busy spare time, and would go there as an auditor whenever he had free time.Universities in Germany are very free and open to teaching, and auditors do not need formal university admission qualifications to participate in individual courses and lectures.Mannheim, on the other hand, is an international university, with about one foreign student in every ten students.The learning atmosphere here is very good. Could it be that he regrets not being able to go to university? This can be regarded as a little bit to make up for this regret.With the guidance of a professional language teacher named Liu Yang on weekdays, coupled with the frequent edification in a campus with a strong German atmosphere, it is not surprising that his German level has naturally improved rapidly, and it is not surprising that he can have a fluent conversation within a month.

Since next year is a big competition year, all leagues have to make concessions for the league. The start time of this year's league will be much earlier than in previous years, and the time is very tight.In order to better face the new season and deepen the team's running-in level, Rangnick arranged two warm-up matches for the team within this month: Mannheim and the Bundesliga team Munich 1860.The strength of the two opponents is not strong. Mannheim used to hang out in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, but now it has long been reduced to a regional team that is bullied by others. Although they are both Baden-Württemberg teams, Huo The situation between Finnheim and the other side is different. Hoffenheim is now a "dark horse" in the Bundesliga. As for Mannheim, who knows such a team?And Munich 1860, the former giants of the Bundesliga, can only linger in the Bundesliga Bundesliga now. The club's financial difficulties and the team's capable players continue to leave. A deeper abyss.Last season, Munich 1860 was also able to relegation, only one step away from the professional stage of the second division.It can be said that the strength of these two teams is not at the same level as that of Hoffenheim, and Rangnick's goal is purely to let the team adapt to the rhythm of the game as soon as possible.

Poor Mannheim, poor Munich 1860, one is the former Bundesliga team, the other is the former giants of the Bundesliga, and now they have fallen to this point. They are completely ignored by Rangnik. They exist like supporting roles. I don’t know them Knowing what the other party thinks, will you be so angry that you vomit blood.

In fact, speaking of it, these two teams have some connections with Huaxia.At that time, there was a wave of overseas study in Chinese football. Many players went abroad to play football, and Germany was the first choice for most players to land.China's most successful player in the Bundesliga is Yang Chen. Although he played for Frankfurt and was eventually relegated, this China boy still made German fans remember him.And Zhou Ning, a player of the same generation as Yang Chen, joined the Bundesliga team Mannheim back then. Unfortunately, after only one season, Mannheim was relegated and could only play in the southern German regional league.And Zhou Ning also had ups and downs with the team for several seasons, and finally had to return home sadly.

Could it be that he didn't know that there were Chinese players who had played for Mannheim, but he was more familiar with 1860 Munich.When he was still a fan, he saw reports on the news that Chinese player Shao Jiayi transferred to Munich 1860, which was considered explosive news back then.At that time, after the collapse of the Chinese national team in the World Cup, fans all over the country were lamenting for Chinese football. At this time, the news of Shao Jiayi's transfer made many fans feel excited. high hopes.Shao Jiayi also lived up to the expectations of the majority of fans, maintaining the consistent fine traditions of Huaxia players. In the first season of joining, he helped the team to be relegated smoothly, and followed the team in the second division of Germany, gradually obliterating the news until the first two seasons. The transfer to the newly promoted Cottbus in the Bundesliga last season made people gradually remember that there is such a number one figure in Chinese football.But the good times don't last long. Cottbus, who is ambitious and ready to fight in the top league, is always the favorite to relegation. Shao Jiayi, who was poached from 1860 Munich as the core of the team, did not disappoint the fans again and gradually declined. As a substitute, he couldn't play a few games a season.Finally, last season, Cottbus was successfully relegated, and Shao Jiayi continued to return to the Bundesliga Bundesliga to carry out his arduous and long career in the Bundesliga Bundesliga.
