After Coach Rangnick's words "bloody scalp" were made public by the media, it caused a great response. Some people think Hoffenheim is too arrogant, and Rangnick's words are too bloody. Some people call on the Football Association to take care of the words of their coaches. Such remarks will scare children, and children are a very important audience group for football.

Others cheered Hoffenheim, believing that as a weak person, you should have such courage to challenge the strong. If Rangnick showed weakness before the game, then this game would be a pity for so many viewers across the country to pay attention.

Although the protagonists are Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich, the entire Germany and even half of Europe are paying attention to this game and are crazy about it.

Bayern Munich's players, retired stars, and celebrities have come forward to express their opinions on the game. Kahn and Effenberg are optimistic that Bayern Munich will easily defeat Hoffenheim in the weekend game.

There are no retired celebrities in Hoffenheim who have spoken for them, but they have also won the support of some people. What is commendable is that many of them are their former opponents.

Bayern has failed to win three home games this season, drew Hamburg 2:2, defeated Bremen 2:5 and tied Bochum 3:3. Before the game, the three teams also gave Hoffenheim a tip.

Since the Allianz Arena was launched in 2005, Hamburg has never lost two league games here. Czech midfielder David_jarolim said that the secret is that he cannot lose his courage, so he will not panic when he fell behind two goals in the first round of the season. He also suggested that Hoffenheim must try his best to limit Ribery's performance, "When he really starts, the trouble will be big."

In the ninth round of the league, Hamburg lost to Hoffenheim 0:4 away, but now they are no longer opponents, but comrades in a trench. In Germany, most teams regard Bayern Munich as their common enemy, of course because Bayern Munich is too powerful. If someone can defeat Bayern Munich, they will definitely receive cheers and praise from other teams.

Bremen experienced a 5-4 victory over Hoffenheim at home, whose offensive strength left a deep impression on Bremen club chairman Klaus_allofs. "I hope they can stick to this style in Munich, which will bring them success." He said this in an interview with the media.

As a representative of the weak team, Bochum coach Marcel Koller's view is to first do a good job of defense, and secondly, the players support each other on the court. "Hoffenheim will definitely do these two things, and they will not change their characteristics."

These are just outsiders' opinions, while Hoffenheim has their own ideas.

Faced with the pressure that so many teams hope Hoffenheim will win, Bayern players have to stand up and show their attitude.

"Piggy" Schweinsteiger talked about Chu Zhongtian's words at the press conference in an interview with reporters. He agreed: "It is true. If we lose, the whole of Germany will ridicule us. There is nothing to say, we will definitely win. Even if we play in a draw, Hoffenheim is also a hero of Germany. But if we win, nothing will happen."

What he said is the fact. The whole of Germany is paying attention to this game, or more closely, the whole of Germany is looking forward to Hoffenheim defeating Bayern Munich. Because Bayern Munich has long dominated the Bundesliga, and they are also used to poaching the leading stars of other Bundesliga teams through all means. This poaching practice has long aroused public outrage from the Bundesliga teams, so they are always happy to see Bayern Munich unlucky.

For Bayern Munich players, losing the winter break championship is no big deal, but losing to Hoffenheim is embarrassing.

This is a huge pressure on all Bayern players, perhaps Ribery is the only exception.

At the press conference, he was asked by reporters if he knew where Hoffenheim was, and he still had the heart to joke: "Hoffenheim? On Mars?" Then he said: "Just kidding, of course I knew Hoffenheim. Actually, I played there when I was playing football at Metz, but now even if you give me a map, I may not be able to find it accurately."

"Chu and Ibisevic are your teammates in Metz..."

"Yes, we are very familiar with each other. I know them very well and believe they know me well. I look forward to this reunion."

"So have you used your familiarity with them to give Chrisman some help?" a reporter asked.

Ribery smiled wickedly, "This is a secret, I can't tell it."

In fact, Ribery did use his understanding of Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic to give Klinsman some advice. When he gave advice, he was not polite at all and told Krisman that if he wanted to curb Chu Zhongtian, he had to keep him under strict control and he would never relax for a second. As for Ibisevic... As long as Chu Zhongtian is curbed, Ibisevic will lose the threat.

The reporters asked other Bayern players about where Hoffenheim is. Hoffenheim is too small and the media also like to play this set. It seems that this can better show how inconspicuous Hoffenheim is. It would be more meaningful that such an inconspicuous team can rank first in the league.

When Ram was asked this question, he was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, thought for a while, and said to the reporter very seriously: "Well, that... is probably in the direction of Stuttgart?"

Well, although Huocun is in Baden Württemberg with Stu, he is closer to Mannheim... The topic has turned to the most noteworthy person in Hoffenheim. The name mentioned by reporters is Ibisevic. The Bosnian scorer scored 18 goals in 15 rounds, and is currently in the limelight.

Ram was a little tired of always talking about how Hoffenheim was. He said: "We have to play football in our own way so as to dominate the opponent and dominate the game. We will show who can stand proudly at the top of the Bundesliga. Since the start of the game, we have improved a lot. Of course, we will play better in the second half of the league. As long as we can do this, the Bundesliga championship will definitely belong to Bayern!"

This Bayern Munich star said this with great domineering words, which is the temperament of the wealthy Bayern Munich.

※※The hype about Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich outside continues, and it is becoming increasingly fierce as the game approaches. However, it is still very calm inside Hoffenheim, at least it is the case at present.

Today is Thursday and December 4th. There is still one day before the game begins. After the training of this day, the players did not drive home. They have to wait here and prepare to take a bus to Munich, where they can rest for a night, and then join the game.

All the players who took a shower and changed their clothes walked out of the training base and came to a restaurant next to the training ground, which was a stronghold for Hoffenheim players. Before the away game, the players like to buy a newspaper here, buy a drink, read the newspaper while drinking, or chat with other teammates, waiting to get on the bus. Why choose this place to be a stronghold? Because there is a gas station next to this restaurant, the team's bus stops here to refuel, waiting for the players to get on the bus. In addition, this restaurant was once the place where the team owner Mr. Dietma Hope grew up, which has special significance for Hoffenheim.

Today is no exception. Although they will play against Bayern Munich the next day, the players rushed to the restaurant one after another after training, ordered a drink, pizza, barbecue, salad, etc., and filled their hungry stomachs due to high-intensity training.

When Chu Zhongtian entered the restaurant, almost all the players of the team arrived. He greeted several people at the door, walked straight to the restaurant bar, ordered a drink of juice, and then sat next to Ibisevic.

Ibisekic was reading the newspaper, and Chu Zhongtian glanced at a glance at the large photo of Ibi on the newspaper.

"Now all Germany is talking about you, Ibi. You have to be careful, they will definitely keep a tight eye on you in the game."

Ibisevic put down the newspaper and smiled at Chu Zhongtian: "I think you should be careful, Chu. The fool knows that as long as you freeze you, I can't score the goal."

Chu Zhongtian shrugged: "Is there any new news in the newspaper?"

Ibisevic shook his head: "It's the same thing, everyone spits at each other through the reporter."

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "Ha! Bayern Munich is afraid of us."

Ibisevic was deeply touched by Chu Zhongtian's words. Before the match against Dortmund, he had similar communication with Chu Zhongtian. At that time, Dortmund fans kept insulting Hoffenheim players. He felt very angry, but Chu Zhongtian told him that the more your opponent attacks you, the more they are afraid of you, because you made them feel threatened.

So he laughed, "Yes, they are afraid of us!"

Everyone was talking about the match against Bayern Munich, everyone's face was filled with excitement, and no one felt fear or uneasy. It seemed that they were not going to challenge an invincible giant, but just visiting relatives' homes.

"Hey, Vido. What celebration do you want to do after scoring the ball?" Eduardo chewed the barbecue in his mouth and came over to ask Ibissevic. "Vidod" is the nickname of Ibissevic's name "Vedad". Except for Chu Zhongtian, everyone calls him that. Chu Zhongtian was called Chu Zhongtian because he was "Ibi" in Metz, which is more in line with the Chinese habits. Ibissevic himself did not reject both names, and he liked the "Ibi" rule of Chu Zhongtian.

Everyone thinks Ibisevic can score a goal and can break Bayern Munich's goal at Allianz Stadium. It's just a question of whether one or two or three.

Ibisevic put his right index finger on his lips: "I want them all to shut up!"

"Hahaha! Well done, Ibi!" The teammates burst into laughter.

"Then I have to create such an opportunity for you." Salihovic said with a smile.

"Hey! We want it too!" Demba Ba and Obasi stood up and waved.

"Okay, you each one... don't fight." Chu Zhongtian comforted them.

The laughter was even louder.

The waiters in the restaurant looked at this group of young players. They knew very well what kind of team Bayern Munich is. Hoffenheim players actually started to allocate goals before the game. This was really arrogant and bold... However, as Hoffenheim fans, they like Hoffenheim very much. I'm afraid that we are the only ones who dare to treat Bayern Munich like this! This makes them, Hoffenheim, feel very proud.

A group of people were joking in the restaurant for a while, and a coach came to remind them that it was time to get on the bus.

After getting on the bus, the bus drove out of the gas station and quickly drove out of the small Hoffenheim, then turned a corner and drove towards the throne of German football.

The brave David embarked on the journey to challenge the giant Goliath. Even he himself did not know what the future was.

In the car, Chu Zhongtian received a call from Ribery. He had just returned home after training, so he called Chu Zhongtian and asked if he had set off.

Chu Zhongtian said angrily on the other end of the phone: "Cleaning, lying on the bed and waiting, Frank!"

※※ When Hoffenheim arrived in Munich it was 6:30 in the afternoon, and it was already dark. The streets seemed a little deserted. The team did not go to Allianz Stadium to train to adapt to the venue. They only had one chance to adapt to the venue, one hour before the game started.

The team's bus drove straight to the hotel where they were staying this time.

There, dozens of journalists have been waiting for a long time. When their bus arrived at the hotel, the crazy reporters almost made the players unable to get off the bus.

Rangnick was surrounded by reporters and asked him to talk about the "blood-scalp" matter. Ibisek was surrounded by reporters. What they were most concerned about was whether this super scorer would continue his outstanding form in the game against Bayern Munich and continue to score goals. Most of Chu Zhongtian were Chinese journalists. Bayern had a special position in the minds of Chinese fans. There were many German football fans in China, and a large part of these German fans were Bayern Munich fans. Hoffenheim, who now has Chinese players, and Bayern Munich, who has a large number of German fans, is about to meet. This is a very good gimmick. How can they let it go easily?

However, compared with Bayern, Hoffenheim still has a gap, which can be seen from their relationship with the media. Almost every player in Bayern Munich is a star sought after by the media. On Hoffenheim, except for head coach Rangnick, Ibisevic, Chu Zhongtian and Salihovic, other players are not interested.

So after these people were surrounded by reporters, the teammates behind them got off the car and entered the hotel very calmly, and then stood inside and pointed at the teammates who were still surrounded, and laughed with gloating.

The team finally got rid of the entanglement of the reporters.

After dinner, Rangnick gathered everyone and in the conference room provided by the hotel, Rangnick played videos and gave tactics classes.

This video was sorted out by the club's analyst Cornetka. It eliminates many meaningless parts and is more concise and direct after condensation.

Rangnick arranged the tactics in combination with Bayern Munich's game video. This facilitates players to understand tactics, which is much better than what they say.

Ribery's figure appeared in the video many times, and Rangnick kept mentioning Ribery.

"Riberry creates goals almost every game. He scored six goals and assists ten times this season. He averaged 102 touches per game, which is also the most in the Bundesliga." Rangnick analyzed and introduced the players in detail the number one star in Bayern Munich.

Chu Zhongtian averaged 87 touches per game in the Bundesliga, which is related to Rangnick's tactical requirements. If it were Metz, his touches could easily reach 100.

"In addition, his pass success rate is 85%, his cross success rate is 21%, and his corner accuracy is 17%. These numbers show Ribery's strength, but he is not without weaknesses.

"But in one-on-one confrontation, Ribery's success rate is 50%, not as high as Eduardo." Rangnick pointed at Eduardo, and the Brazilian stood up with a proud look on his face.

"We all know that as long as Ribery is suppressed, it is equivalent to pinching Bayern's throat!" Since communicating with Chu Zhongtian, Rangnick's tone has become more and more aggressive when talking about Bayern. However, he is very popular with players in doing so. Everyone likes to see their usual gentle head coach, who is now gritting his teeth.

"So I put Chu in the right forward position and let him defend Ribery." Rangnick finally explained the official reason why he asked Chu Zhongtian to hit the right forward, although everyone guessed it almost.

Ribery played on the left-handed forward at Bayern, and just met Chu Zhongtian.

It's very interesting to have two people who are familiar with each other.

Chu Zhongtian was also very excited after hearing Rangnick's idea. When he was on the phone with Ribery, he never told him that it was just to give him and Bayern a big "surprise" in the game - of course, they would definitely not like it.

Rangnick continued: "The requirement to defend Ribery is very simple - Chu You and Baker are going to run wildly without any effort in the game. Your tasks are the heaviest, because you not only have to defend Ribery, but also attack, so you have to sprint back and forth. This is a big test for your physical fitness, but I hope you can withstand such a test."

"No problem." Chu Zhongtian replied. Fight for physical fitness? He is always afraid of anyone. This is a good opportunity for him to use his strengths.

Baker nodded and agreed, "I will work hard." His endurance is also good. It is not unreasonable for Rangnick to specifically select the two of them.

"Defending Ribery, we will curb their attack, and then we will give full play to our characteristics." Rangnik continued. "Our speed is very fast, this is our advantage. We must also drag Bayern Munich into such a fast pace. Although Bayern's speed is already very fast, we must make them faster! Remember, fast is the keyword of our game, defend quickly, attack quickly, and it has been so fast from the beginning of the game, making Bayern Munich breathless!"

No team dares to be so presumptuous at Allianz Stadium, but Hoffenheim wants to try out what it feels like to be wild on the territory of the Bundesliga overlords.
Chapter completed!
