"The coach said that shooting training must be combined with defensive interference." Salihovic, who broke the ball from Chu Zhongtian's feet, said with a stern face.

"But I have no opponent." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands and said.

"I'll be your opponent!"

Salihovic just said this, and he was stunned.

Chu Zhongtian was also very surprised.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Salihovic to say such a cooperative word. But he soon realized that this was an opportunity to bring closer the relationship between him and Salihovic.

For a long time, he and Salihovic have not communicated much, or they have very little communication. However, they are the two most important players on the court. If they cannot form a joint force and cannot cooperate tacitly, Hoffenheim's performance will inevitably be affected.

The league has been starting over a month, and it is indeed time to completely solve this problem.

He did not give Salihovic a chance to renege and quickly continued: "Okay!"

Salihovic hesitated when he heard him say this.

After he said this, he regretted it, and then he hoped that Chu Zhongtian would not appreciate it, so that he could escape from this predicament.

But he didn't expect that Chu Zhongtian would agree so simply, without any distortion.

The ball was kicked to him. Could it be that he would repent? Salihovic couldn't do such a thing, and doing so would seem too stingy, but instead lowered his head in front of Chu Zhongtian. Salihovic was unwilling to be underestimated by his competitors.

"Okay, you shoot, I'll defend." Salihovic nodded.

Since there is a defensive opponent, the shooting training will definitely not be carried out on the spot. Chu Zhongtian needs to move because Salihovic will come to cut off his ball. He must try to get rid of Salihovic's defense, or shoot under Salihovic's close interference.

As a result, his shooting accuracy began to plummet.

When Chu Zhongtian shot the ball into the sky with one kick under the interference of Salihovic, Salihovic couldn't help laughing.

This shot is outrageous.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged, without responding to his sneer.

After a group of eighteen-goal shooting training, Salihovic did not continue to stay here for halftime and practiced with Chu Zhongtian. It would be nice to be willing to practice with him in a group.

When Chu Zhongtian saw Salihovic turn around and leave, he didn't try to keep him. He ran to pick up the ball himself, and then stood there watching Salihovic practice free kicks against the blackboard.

After looking at a group, he shouted loudly: "How can you practice without a wall without a human?"

Salihovic looked back at Chu Zhongtian standing in the distance, and Chu Zhongtian pointed to the movable wall placed aside. So he walked over and pushed two rows of short walls, placed them in front, and started practicing free kicks again.

When he finished playing another group, he found that Chu Zhongtian had already come to him.

He saw Chu Zhongtian rubbing his chin.

"It's too monotonous to practice like this, right?" he said.

Salihovic glanced at him, then looked at the wall of people in front of him: "Do you have a good idea?"

"I remember there were many free kicks in the game..." Chu Zhongtian said, "For example, one of them is to arrange a teammate to go to the middle of the opponent's wall, and then play football at the position where the teammate is. The teammate suddenly withdraws, and the football passes through that space..." He said, walking towards the wall.

Finally, I stood in the middle of two rows of movable human walls.

"Look, just kick me." Chu Zhongtian pointed at himself.

Salihovic understood what he meant, and this kind of free kick tactic is very common.

"Okay, but you'd better hide quickly. My ball is very fast." Salihovic played a trick. He just finished speaking, before he finished speaking, he kicked the football on the ground.

Just as he started to squat down, Chu Zhongtian had already started squatting down. The ball speed was indeed very fast, almost wiping Chu Zhongtian's scalp and flying through the gap in the human wall.

A bang sounded behind Chu Zhongtian's head, and he didn't even have time to look back. The ball speed was indeed fast. Fortunately, he had a premonition, otherwise he might have been hit in the forehead this time.

Unfortunately, hehe. Your little thoughts are useless to me, Salihovic.

Salihovic was naturally quite surprised. He was just a temporary idea, but Chu Zhongtian's behavior seemed to know what he was going to do in advance. He looked at Chu Zhongtian who was standing up from the ground and was a little stunned.

"Let's continue?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Ah...continue!" Salihovic changed his position, and Chu Zhongtian also pushed the human wall to adjust the position.

The two of them were training like this.

The current training is much more difficult than Salihovic's previous practice, because he not only has to shoot the football on the four corners of the goal, but also let the football go around the human wall. He not only has to let the football go around the human wall, but also let the football fly through the gap where Chu Zhongtian is.

Similarly, his shots were not as accurate as before. He could not make sure to go around the human wall from where Chu Zhongtian was. Sometimes they would hit the human wall, sometimes they would hit Chu Zhongtian, or simply above the goal range.

Under the setting sun, the sound of banging footballs constantly echoed over Hoffenheim's training ground.

※※※The Rutner Vocational Preparatory Middle School in Munich, where Fritz Abel is located, has already started. He basically can't meet Daniel now because he has to go to school and Daniel has to be an intern. But don't think that no one will bully him this way. He is a coward and coward in school, and he can tease him anyway, and he will never fight back.

Of course, boys always talk about football together. The just-concluded games and the upcoming games are the focus of their discussion. There are many fans in the school who support various football teams, and the largest number are Bayern Munich and Munich 1806 fans. They have no exception to have any good feelings for Abel. They love the house and the U.S. and hate U.S. and the U.S. and Abel likes Hoffenheim, naturally they have become the target of their frequent mockery and attacks.

However, the two groups of people still have some differences in their attitude towards Hoffenheim.

Bayern Munich fans have a contempt and disdain for Hoffenheim, believing that no matter how hard a new team is, they are just new teams and cannot threaten their favorite Bayern Munich.

The fans of Munich 1860 have a gritted hatred towards Hoffenheim. Their feelings for Hoffenheim are the same as those of most other down-and-out veteran teams - why do the teams we support have such a long history and loyal fans like us, but they can only play in the low-level league because they have no money. And the upstart team of Hoffenheim can actually play in the top league because of a very rich boss? Why?

"Coward Abel, your little country bumpkin team is about to play against Dortmund. I bet your team will never escape this time!" In the school, a group of Munich 1860 fans were looking for happiness with Abel.

Before Hoffenheim played Stuttgart at home, they also swore that this "little country bumpkin team" would definitely be beaten up by Stuttgart.

Unexpectedly, Hoffenheim almost beat Stuttgart up to his feet. If it weren't for their Lehmann's brave performance... The gap before and after this game made many people who mocked Abel before depressed. Now it's Dortmund's turn, and they put their hopes on Dortmund. In fact, they have been like this all the time. Since Hoffenheim performed well, they have always been looking forward to someone standing up to stop this money monster, like a hero.

"You support that little country bumpkin team so much, but unfortunately the boss doesn't like you either. He won't give you an euro, coward Abel!"

"I heard that you were working and making money during the summer vacation and were going to watch the game? Why don't you call Hope's old man and ask him to sponsor you to watch the game. Look, there is a freak in Munich who doesn't like Bayern Munich or Munich 1860, but you like a team that is far away in the small countryside of Baden!"

Abel didn't argue with them because arguments would lead to something worse than verbal attacks. He felt that he could just shrank his head and let them scold him. Anyway, he wouldn't lose a hair.

He slipped away against the wall, and behind him was a group of people laughing.

They were all waiting to see Hoffenheim's joke.

Only Abel doesn't watch this way. He saw the live broadcast of Hoffenheim's last game against Stuttgart. If we look at the scene just from the scene, Hoffenheim should win. Stuttgart was lucky to draw. It was precisely because of his understanding of Hoffenheim that Abel felt that Dortmund might not be able to defeat Hoffenheim.

※※There are two days left before the home game with Dortmund. The list of players who started in this game has basically taken shape in Rangnick's mind. He will not change the starting lineup. The eleven starting players who forced Pinstuttgart to continue to start in the last game, while Obasi continues to be substitute.

From Obasi, Chu Zhongtian can see how much impact the Olympics have on a player's integration into the team. Obasi was still the main player last season, but he was unable to play as the main player because he missed Hoffenheim's preparation plan for the whole summer. Ibiseyvic and Demba Ba firmly occupy the starting forward position, and Obasi can only play as a substitute.

If Chu Zhongtian participated in that Olympic Games, it would be better if the Chinese team made a breakthrough. After all, it would be better if they did not work in vain. Then it would be fine to sacrifice their interests in the club. But if the national Olympic team still let the Football Association control it, then making a breakthrough would be a joke and nonsense. Since that is the case, why should you participate in the Olympic Games? Chinese football has neither made a breakthrough, and has lost a lot of time in the club for no reason. Now I may sit on the bench like Obasi, watching others perform. At the same time, I bear the huge pressure that the media and fans call the "most expensive bench".

With one day left before the match against Dortmund, Rangnick announced Hoffenheim's roster and starting list of this game.

Facing an opponent like Dortmund, he did not hide it, but instead showed a temperament that was not a weak team - my starting lineup is here, let's study me.

The Beijing Olympics closed on August 24, and the broadcasting plans of other events on CCTV Sports Channel have also returned to normal. TV5, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and other football events have also returned to weekend live broadcasts.

Hoffenheim and Dortmund are the last game of the fifth round of the league, played on Sunday afternoon, and there are two more kick-offs at the same time: Wolfsburg faces Hamburg at home and Stuttgart faces Karlsruhe at home.

In order to live broadcast the game between Hoffenheim and Dortmund, CCTV moved the game between Cagliari and Juventus to Fengyun Football Channel.

Since Chu Zhongtian joined Hoffenheim, this small team that no one in China knew about has suddenly become a big star on Chinese TV screens. In every round of the Bundesliga, CCTV will broadcast a Hoffenheim game, which is also the agreement they reached with the Bundesliga broadcasting agencies - Germany will try to give them priority to Hoffenheim's game signals so that Chinese fans can see their stars' performances as soon as possible.

On September 21, on the day of the game, Chu Zhongtian followed his teammates to the Carl-Benz Stadium in Mannheim. The media had already gathered on both sides of the entrance channel and prepared to interview the players from both sides.

He saw some Korean reporters in the crowd. He remembered that there was a Korean player in the Dortmund team - Lee Rongpyo.

It's a coincidence that I seem to have a good relationship with South Korea. When I was at Metz, a Korean teammate, An Jung-hwan. After An Jung-hwan left, he played in the League Cup and met another Korean player, Lee Rong-pyo, at Tottenham. Now he has come to Germany and joined Hoffenheim. Unexpectedly, Lee Rong-pyo also came to Germany. However, Lee Rong-pyo is much higher in the team's level than him - Dortmund is a veteran Bundesliga powerhouse and has won the European Champions League. He is his role model. Matthias Summer has achieved success.

Logically speaking, in comparison of transfer teams, South Korean player Lee Rong-pyo defeated Chu Zhongtian completely. But the Korean media couldn't be excited at all. Because this summer, Li Rong-pyo's transfer fee for joining Dortmund from Tottenham Hotspur to join Dortmund was 500,000 euros, while Chu Zhongtian was 30 million! A Chinese player has become the transfer bidder of the Bundesliga, which has always felt good about the Korean media.

This summer, Park Ji-sung won the Champions League championship with Manchester United, which made the Koreans very happy and his national self-esteem was unprecedentedly high. They generally believe that it is South Korea, Japan, and China that leads Asian football to challenge the European and American powers. Especially China, which has not beaten South Korea for more than 20 years, what is worth mentioning?

Unexpectedly, Park Ji-sung's championship news just happened not long after it was hyped, and Chinese media revealed that Chu Zhongtian transferred to Hoffenheim with a record of Asian players' transfer fee of 30 million, which suddenly stole the Koreans' limelight.

Nakada Hideho and Park Ji-sung were both trampled by Chu Zhongtian.

The Japanese's reaction was relatively dull, because Hideho Nakata had retired, but South Korea's reaction was fierce. Many Korean media would weaken Chu Zhongtian's value when reporting on this matter, and highlighted that Hoffenheim is a newly promoted team, which can only accommodate more than 6,000 spectators at home. Even so, they have never been full of games... The sense of superiority has come out invisibly again.

Although they have a sense of superiority, they no longer hype the concept of "Asian derby". On the one hand, it is naturally because they think that Korean football and Chinese football are not on the same level. Comparing Chinese football and Korean football is an insult to Korean football. The derby is naturally a derby if a match is evenly matched. Since the level of Korean football and Chinese football is different, why should we mention the concept of "Asian derby"?

On the other hand, what made them very depressed was that Li Rongpiao did not enter Dortmund's starting lineup in this game. I don't know when he would be able to play. Neither of them could talk directly on the court, so what else would he talk about? Is the derby between the main player and the bench substitute? That's too embarrassing... Chu Zhongtian's eyes swept through which Korean reporters, and he saw several familiar Chinese reporters. Many of these people were chasing themselves from France to Germany.

He waved at them.

When they arrived in the locker room, the players put down their bags, and they did not rush to change their clothes and go out to warm up.

The locker room is a very mysterious place. This mystery not only means that the locker room is almost never open to the public. It also means that every player will have some of his own "rituals" in the locker room.

Chu Zhongtian was lucky enough to play football in three different countries, and he also experienced three different locker room cultures. The locker room in England is the noisiest, with various pop music and rock music playing in the locker room, if you want to chat with your teammates sitting next to you, you have to raise the volume, it looks like two people are quarreling, and the whole locker room is quarreling. The locker room in France is more orderly than in England, and they like to do their own things. The locker room in Germany is still very orderly before the game, but it is different after the game. Winning the ball means everyone is caring together, losing the ball is inevitable and there is a dispute, and it may even develop to the point of taking action. By that time, the locker room was simply a mini version of the Colosseum. The Germans have a very hot temper, which can be seen from the fact that their football hooligans gradually surpassed the British football hooligans.

Hoffenheim's locker room was more lively than ordinary German teams before the game, because as the media criticized, there were many foreign players in this team, but not many real German players. Brazil and Africa players made the locker room full of exotic style. Eduardo likes to show off his footwork in the locker room before the game, and it was Rangnick forbidding him from doing this because the locker room was full of unknown dangers - he might step on a mineral water bottle thrown on the ground while he was rushing the ball, or a sneaker with a shoe pointed upward. But Eduardo still couldn't help but show off his skills when the coaches couldn't see it.

Demba Ba and Obasi, two African players, will spend a long time taking care of their appearance before the game, and will spray them with strong perfume. This smell is a "chemical weapon" for their opponents and teammates... Salihovic will chat with his teammates with good relationships, and laughter will occasionally come from among them.

Chu Zhongtian has just arrived at the team and has not many friends. Only Ibisekic will be with him.

As for the other German players, they were serious about preparing for the pre-match. They took off their formal outfits from the beginning, changed into training clothes, sat on their respective chairs, and waited for the assistant coach to come in and notify them to go out for warm-up.

After everyone was making such a fuss for about twenty minutes, assistant coach Caidler opened the door.

"The warm-up time is up, gentlemen!"

He waved his hand.

Eduardo put away the ball, the African double evil spirits put the mirror in the bag, the German players stood up one after another, Salihovic and his friends walked towards the door while chatting.

And Chu Zhongtian fell at the end.

Every time he waits for other players to go out before leaving the locker room to warm up. When he is about to play, he will be the first to get up and walk towards the door because he is the captain and he will lead the team to play.
Chapter completed!
