Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 99 Getting Started
"Sir, but only by playing can I improve faster. Moreover, I have worked very hard to integrate into the team." Sukulini was a little disappointed. Hearing the coach's tone, it seemed that he did not intend to let himself play as soon as possible. .He understands what the other party is saying is the truth, and his cooperation with the team is really not a tacit understanding, it can only be said to be okay.However, he really wanted to play the game. He felt that he had an impulse to ask Mr. Coach if he bought himself but didn't use it, whether the team really had a place for him.

"Sir, I think you should let me try. At least, we have to try, don't we? I have confidence in myself." Sukulini tried to persuade the coach and said again.

Seeing the anxious look on the other side's face, Lannick really couldn't bear to continue teasing this lovely young man.He smiled, looked at the other side with admiration, and said: "You actually want to know what your position is in the team, or whether you can find your position in the team. Right?"

"Yes, sir." Sukulini nodded, and he did not deny this, which is also the purpose of his coming here.

Lannick nodded, and continued: "Franco, you are one of the most talented young people I have ever seen, and the future belongs to you. The team introduced you in the hope that you can bring help to the team, Hofen Heim is a young team, you are also young, we are also young, we are also full of expectations for the future, and we are working hard for that goal, aren't we?"

"Maybe you don't have many opportunities to play now, but this is a test for you. You must know that the football environment in Europe and South America is very different. While being protected, I hope you can make faster progress through observation and training. Of course, this does not mean that you will sit on the bench all the time. You know, when I introduced you, I entrusted you with the burden of the team's midfield for the next ten years."

"Of course, this is just my opinion. If you can't achieve the ability I expected, you still won't get any chance. You should understand that this is professional football, there is always a cool side."

Sukulini was deeply shocked by Rangnick's words. He didn't expect the coach to place such high expectations on him, nor did he expect the coach to tell him so bluntly.At this moment, while he felt happy, he was also a little ashamed.The happy thing is that he is not a soy saucer who comes to the team. He has the opportunity to show his football talent here. Of course, this requires his hard work. After all, opportunities do not come by waiting.I am ashamed that I misunderstood that the head coach doesn't like him, so I always put myself on the bench.

"Sir... I... I'm sorry." Sukulini choked up a little, and he had a feeling that "scholars die for their confidants".If he is a good horse, then his Bole is Lennick and Hoffenheim.He vaguely made a decision, no matter how much he would achieve in the future, he was willing to use his life to repay this "wisdom eye" team!

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Why is your body so sticky? You ran out without taking a shower?" Lannick couldn't help frowning, how could he not care about his body like this?You must know that the capital of a football player is his body. If there is a problem with his body, he will never be able to succeed.

"I..." Sukulini looked like a child who had done something wrong, and the coach's stern voice made him dare not look up.

Lannick waved his hand, motioning him to go back and change his clothes.

"Franco, go back quickly. If you catch a cold, it will be really troublesome for me. You know, I put you in the starting lineup of the German Cup. If you are absent, I will have a headache again. It is." Rangnick lied, he did put the other party in the 18-man roster, but his status was as a substitute.But now, Rangnick admitted that he was indeed moved by the opponent. He was right. It would be a good thing to accept the baptism of the European competition earlier. Flowers in the greenhouse will never grow up.Moreover, Sukulini's serious training attitude and good condition also made him change his mind.

"Okay, sir. I'll go home right away." Sukulini murmured, stood up, and was about to leave, but he quickly realized that a look of surprise appeared on his face, not daring to leave. Confidently shouted: "Sir, what are you talking about? The German Cup? Me? The starter? My God!"

Seeing Lannick smiling and nodding his head in acquiescence, Sukulini couldn't control himself anymore, hugged him and shouted in surprise: "Haha! I can finally play! Thank you, thank you sir! I will definitely not let you down Yes! Definitely!"

"I believe it, but can you be gentle, I'm already dizzy from the shaking." Lannik's face was full of helplessness, this kid was so excited that he hugged himself and shook him vigorously, how could he bear it?
But Sukulini obviously didn't hear the other party's cry, he was completely intoxicated by this huge good news.There is only one thought in his mind now, and that is that time will pass quickly.Because, he will start the game!

Him, Franco.Sukulini finally had the opportunity to let Europeans know him and know his football!

The time soon came to the day of the first DFB Cup match. Hoffenheim arrived in Bremen, a city in northern Germany, one day ahead of schedule, and stayed at the hotel booked by the team to rest overnight. The next day, three hours before the start of the game Arrived at Wilhaven Stadium, conducted adaptive training, and made some warm-up preparations before the game.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for. Hoffenheim attaches great importance to the first German Cup match of this season, but for the opponent, even Rangnick has to admit that the opponent is too weak and not at the same level at all. .This also allows the team to shift the main focus to running-in the substitute lineup in a series of training before the start of the cup.Obviously, Rangnick intends to use this cup game as a stepping stone, and by the way, let the main lineup get a full rest. After all, there is still a tough battle against Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen this weekend.

However, in order to show respect for Upper Neulan, Salihovic, Ibisevic and other main players still entered the 18-man squad, but the chance of playing is very small.Everyone also understands that the team's goal this season is to fight on two fronts. There are many opportunities to play games, and it would be nice to have a rest.

However, the substitutes who often sit on the bench are particularly excited, realizing that the opportunity to express themselves has come. Maybe this game has a good performance, and the head coach will give themselves more opportunities to play.The substitute players who are expected to play are full of eager expectations for this game.

After entering the stadium, the Hoffenheim players were unexpectedly warmly welcomed by the local fans. Many players received flowers from the fans. Stars like Ibisevic were surrounded by many teams asking for their autographs. Mo Fei, who was not very loud, had many fans chatting with him, including many Chinese.What surprised everyone even more was that the most popular player in the team was not the players, but the helm of the team—Ralph.Lannick.At this moment, he is surrounded by fans like stars and the moon, and he is sweating profusely signing autographs for the crowd.

This situation was unexpected by everyone, and everyone lamented that the fans here are too enthusiastic.This is not a fierce German Cup match at all, but a friendly match between the team and the opponent.

In fact, it is no wonder that most of these teams are locals, and they still have a clear understanding of how much their team is worth. It is purely a dream to beat the Bundesliga upstart in front of them.It just so happens that Hoffenheim, who is also from a small village, is their goal, and Hoffenheim, who plays beautiful offensive football, has won the support of many fans and regards many stars in the team as idols.Lannick, who created the "Miracle of Huo Village", is even more sought after by fans.

"Wow, the fans are so enthusiastic. This is such a good place." Obasi held several beautiful flowers in his arms, and seemed to be unable to hold them in his hands.He had just signed an autograph for a beautiful female fan, and right now he was ecstatic, enjoying the feeling of being adored.

"I said this is too nonsense. We are here to compete and to defeat each other. Why are you so enthusiastic?" Demba Ba was surprised, but his hands were not idle. He held a few bundles in his left hand. Hua, with his right hand, quickly signed his name on a notebook handed over by a fan.

"F*ck, our coach is a big celebrity, he's going to be very busy!" Ibisevic said a little sourly.There are also many fans around him, but compared to the head coach, alas, who is the star!He shook his head gloomily, then went on to talk to the fans.

"Naked jealousy!" Weiss also cast envious eyes in Lannick's direction.

The game started in a relaxed atmosphere before the game.

Sure enough, Rangnick hid most of the main players in this game, forming a 442 formation. There was only Simunić as the main player in the defense, and the midfielder did not even have a main player. All young players, Mo Fei and Sukulini are impressively listed.The striker sent a combination of Tago and Obasi.

Rangnick did not underestimate the opponent. He felt that this lineup was enough for this game. Although most of them were substitute players, their strength was still very good, but they lacked some tacit cooperation.It just so happens that this game is considered a trial.If they can't even deal with an amateur team, what face do they have to stay in the professional league?

Campos looked at the opponent's players on the field for a while, but couldn't find a few players who could be named.This is too contemptuous!But he could only sigh helplessly, who told him that there was such a big gap between himself and the other party?If it were him, I'm afraid he would make the same decision.

Sure enough, under the leadership of Murphy and Sukulini, this young Hoffenheim team was not stage fright at all, but excited to express themselves and performed exceptionally well.However, the usual rigorous training made them not forget the team's tactical discipline, and fight on their own. Instead, they used the strength of the whole to frequently attack the opponent.

Using a press, Hoffenheim intercepted the opponent's football and launched a fast break.This is the tactic that has been practiced in the previous training, and there is not much new idea. As long as the ball is obtained, the team's overall strength is stronger than the opponent's advantage to advance layer by layer until the opponent is defeated.
