From the Country Team To the Rich

  Chapter 741 Champions League first match

  On September 13, the Champions League officially kicked off.

  City in western Czech Republic, Plzen.

  In the last century, this was an important town on the border of the Czech Republic, but with the promotion of the industrial revolution, under the re-planning, a city named ‘Pilsen’ appeared.

  Although it is a city in name, it still maintains the size and population of a small town.

  The total population has reached 170,000, and the industrial structure has also been dominated by industry.

  This is also the reason why the city cannot develop further.

  The situation here is quite similar to Sinsheim, and the whole city highlights a combination of old and old.

  The old town in the center of the city and the prosperous stage of the fringe area, it is difficult to combine the two areas, so it is extraordinarily abrupt.

  It’s just that Sinsheim has worked **** the entire town and road planning for the development of the tourism industry, which appears to be orderly.

  In contrast, the situation in Pilsen is a bit bad, with dirty roads and chaotic urban construction.

  But neither is that, the football atmosphere here is indeed very strong.

  Almost every family door is planted with the flag of the Pilsen Warriors, representing their support for this team.

  And the road leading to the Pilsen Warriors’ home stadium ‘Wanda Stadium’ is filled with red and yellow flags, which is also the color of the Pilsen Warriors’ jersey.

  The Pilsen Warriors reached the Champions League group stage for the first time in 2011. This is also the first time Czech football has reached the Champions League.

  It's just that they fell in the group stage in which UEFA Champions League.

  After a lapse of 9 years, they once again came to the stage of the Champions League group stage, which is a very encouraging thing for this Czech Republic powerhouse.

  Even if the group situation they are in is not beautiful, they still contain enthusiasm for this game.

  The slogan of the Pilsen Warriors for this game is ‘Enjoy the game, enjoy the football’.

  This is a concept of happy football and an idea advocated by football.

  But at the same time this is also one of the ideas of the weak team.

  As long as they can win the game, who is willing to lose?

  Like Hoffenheim, they have certain pressure on the Champions League.

  For Hoffenheim, who was in the Champions League quarter-finals last season, they must appear in the group stage.

  Whether it is the Champions League results last season, or the first seed of the German Super League this season, it means that they must bear part of the responsibility.

  Leverkusen received some complaints last season.

  It's not that they didn't play well enough, but that they failed to play their own style in the Champions League.

  Play defensive counterattack every field, a posture of a weak team playing a strong team.

  Winning is not so enjoyable, which also caused dissatisfaction with some German football fans.

  And this UEFA Champions League, the German Super fans can be said to be extremely looking forward to the performance of Hoffenheim.

  Different from the traditional strong teams in the German Super League, Hoffenheim, as an emerging team, has the aggressive and brave style of a young club.

  German Super League fans feel that Hoffenheim can play the style of the German Super League.

  In this expectation, the first round of the Champions League group stage will begin.

  "Welcome to the 2020/2021 season, the opening match of Group D of the Champions League group stage, the Pilsen Warriors' home game against group powerhouse Hoffenheim!"

  "First of all, we can see the lineup of both sides. Compared with the Pilsen Warriors, Hoffenheim's lineup can be described as luxurious."

   "Whether it is the comparison of various positions or the overall strength, Hoffenheim has a crushing advantage."

  "In terms of value, Roquel has already surpassed the value of the Pilsen Warriors team alone!"

  Dix said with a smile.

   There are some contrasts in the discourse, which all hint at the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

  And the fact is also true, Hoffenheim and the Pilsen Warriors have a strength gap, and the strength gap is not small.

  The Pilsen Warriors didn't even think about winning this game. Even at their home court, they can't guarantee that they can win Hoffenheim.

  All they want is a draw.

  But will Hoffenheim give them this opportunity?

  The game officially started.

  Hoffenheim started to control the rhythm at the first time. They didn't play hurriedly and did not show that aggressive offensive posture.

  But even this makes the Pilsen Warriors feel a lot of pressure.

  The kind of rapid tempo change and pervasive passing, especially the constant breakthrough attempts of the two sides make them feel great pressure.

  From the very first moment of the game, Hoffenheim was in full control of the situation on the field, and the entire back line was pressed near his home circle.

  And Dix was happy to see this scene.

He smiled and said; "Look at this is Hoffenheim! This is their best method of playing. They use a suffocating rhythm to put pressure on the opponent. Once the opponent makes a slight mistake, Hoffenheim It will pass their goal like a gust of wind!"

  At the current position, the Pilsen Warriors are still playing well.

After all, in the face of Hoffenheim’s transmission pressure, they persisted for a full 30 minutes without making any mistakes.

  But the problem is coming again?

  Now they are tired of coping, how long can they hold on?

Sure enough, in 35 minutes, the Pilsen Warriors made a mistake.

  Under the huge defensive pressure, the Pilsen Warriors' full-back made a mistake when passing the ball. The strength of this pass was a bit weak, resulting in insufficient speed.

   And Ranier accurately seized the opportunity, struggling to step forward, and stretched his foot to complete the steal.

  This steal is the beginning of the offense.

After   Ragne steals, he directly looks up to the right.

  Roquel attacked later and was unable to participate in the attack the first time.

  In contrast, Leo has rushed to the position.

  Ragne did not hesitate, smashed the ball directly, swayed the opponent's counter-robbing player, and used the bow to push the ball to Leo.

   When Leo received the ball, there was a pause, and this pause caused the opposing full-back to stop.

  But at this moment, Leo suddenly started, relying on explosive force to directly pull a position to complete the internal cut.

  Leo headed into the large penalty area, at this time Roquel and Varim both slammed in.

  Choose one of the two, the question of whom to pass to.

   Roquel has raised his hand for the ball, but his position is not good, there are many defenders around.

  In contrast, Varim's position is more rearward, with only one defensive player beside him.

  Leo trusts Varim, which is already within his range, but in a one-to-one situation, Varim still has a strong personal ability.

  Leo introduced a pass from the rear diagonally.

   Seeing Leo pass the ball, Varim paused. He pushed the opponent's central defender with his back, forced the opponent to stop, and immediately raised his right foot and slammed towards the ball.

  The shot is very powerful, and the angle is tricky.

  Valim is very confident in this shot, unless the opponent is the Liverpool goalkeeper, otherwise he can't stop the goal at all.

  The same is true. Facing Varim’s shot, the Pilsen Warriors goalkeeper was helpless and could only watch the ball slip through his fingers.

  39 minutes in the first half, Hoffenheim scored the first goal.
