Chapter 239 The Growing Weizel ([-])

Hoffenheim scored only one draw away, which seemed to give Bayern Munich behind them a chance to close the score.However, Bayern obviously did not seize such an opportunity. The "FIFA virus" had a particularly great impact on them. In this round of home game against the same city's younger brother Freiburg, they unexpectedly lost 0:1.Instead of catching up with Hoffenheim, they widened the difference between the two to 7 points.

In the next four rounds of No.20 in the league, Hoffenheim challenged last season's Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg away. After 10 and 1 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides finally tied the score 1:[-] and shook hands. and.

In this game, Hoffenheim's state has recovered. Rangnick also replaced the over-consumed main force with some young players in the formation, and used a half-main and half-substitute lineup to deal with Wolfs. Fort, with good results.

Sukulini, Weizel, Tago and others who won the starting game in this game are particularly excited. When many of the team's main players did not play, they shouldered the backbone of the team's offense and played in the whole game. scored the first goal in 31 minutes——

Sukulini instigated a counterattack, dribbled the ball across the midfield, and then made a two-for-one cooperation with Weizel in the middle. After attracting the attention of the other two players, he passed the ball again Weizel followed up in the middle.

Now Weizel is making rapid progress in Hoffenheim, and Mo Fei often teaches him some game experience.It was his outstanding performance that earned Rangnick's attention, and this game will appear in the team's starting lineup.

Although Weizel, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, is small in stature, he is extremely agile and his feet are also very delicate. Those tall defenders in the Bundesliga who are tall but slow to turn around can sneak up on Weizel like a loach. The sneaking style of play was very uncomfortable, and he was continuously broken through by three defensive players in the frontcourt.In the end, Weiser threw the football into the penalty area with a kick pass.Tago, who crossed diagonally, got a one-shot chance. Facing the goalkeeper who was attacking in a panic, he calmly pushed the ball in with a left corner bow.

This is a wonderful cooperation among substitute players!After the goal, the three young players hugged each other tightly and rushed off the field together to express their gratitude to Rangnick. Play for a strong and vibrant team.

Rangnick smiled and applauded to congratulate his beloved disciples. The players on the bench also stood up and patted their heads and shoulders to express their congratulations and encouragement.

However, Hoffenheim's young players are still inexperienced. In the subsequent fierce confrontation with Wolfsburg, they gradually lost their positions. In the end, Dzeko took advantage of a corner kick at the end of the game. Chance to tie the score.

Although he only scored one point, Lannick was very satisfied.He had no choice but to do so in this game. The physical fitness of the main players has reached a very dangerous situation. If they don't take a break in rotation, I'm afraid it will cause incalculable losses.The purpose of sending these young players is firstly to train them, and secondly to give the main players a chance to breathe.

The result of the game has greatly exceeded Lennick's expectations before the game. He originally planned to use a steady and steady approach to win a draw in the away game. down the opponent.Compared with winning the game, the gradual growth of young players and being able to provoke the backbone of the team is the most gratifying thing for Rangnick.After all, they are the future of the team.

After this game, the results of other matches in this round of the league are also "freshly released". Hoffenheim's direct rival Bayern Munich finally swept away the defeat of the last round and reversed Werder Bremen 2:1 in the away game. With the victory, the points rose to 53 points.

Hoffenheim, which suffered two consecutive draws, still has an advantage of 58 points over No. 25 points, and continues to occupy the top spot in the Bundesliga standings, proud of the crowd.

While the league was in full swing, the draw results for the German Cup semi-finals were announced a day earlier: Schalke 04 will play against Werder Bremen, and Hoffenheim's opponent is from the third division. team Osnabrook.The four teams will stage the first round of the German Cup semi-finals on the night of March 3, competing fiercely for the two final tickets.

This has to make people sigh Hoffenheim's good luck. They were able to draw the only one of the four teams that was not in the top league.In everyone's eyes, the weak Osnabrook can't pose any threat to the thriving Hoffenheim.

It is a foregone conclusion that Hoffenheim will appear in the German Cup final!

At the beginning of this season, Hoffenheim signed in many ways to strengthen their strength, in order to make a difference in the new season.Originally, Rangnick's plan was to try his best to achieve good results in the league and strive to enter the European League next season.In the German Cup, they strive to win the championship.

But what happened later was far beyond Rangnick's expectations. The team not only had a strong performance in the league, but also advanced all the way in the German Cup, reaching the semi-finals.The team's focus had to be shifted. Rangnick decided to focus on the league championship, while the German Cup was to be won if possible. After all, the league is the most important.

The four teams that entered the semi-finals of the German Cup, except for Osnabuck, who are weak, Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen are not easy to pinch.If you want to pass the test, it must be a fierce battle, which is a great test for the players' mental and physical fitness.In today's fierce competition in the league, it is impossible and he dare not give up the league in pursuit of the cup championship. Although they are still five points ahead of Bayern Munich, the difference is only two games, and he dare not be careless.

But great luck fell on Hoffenheim's head. They actually drew the weakest player, Osnabrook from the third division, and Rangnick's mind became active.He can completely send a lineup of substitutes to face the opponent. With the strength of the opponent, it must not be able to stop Hoffenheim's progress at all.

Thinking of the possibility of winning the double crown this season, Lannick's face was full of excitement.Leading a once unknown small team to win the league and cup double championships in the second season of entering the top league, such a feat can be called a miracle!And Rangnick is going to create this legend with his team!
Therefore, the protagonists on the training field these days have been replaced by the substitute players of the youth team and the first team, and the main players are their opponents in the drill.Rangnick gave the order to adapt the cooperation between the young players as soon as possible. After all, their ability is much better than Osnabookke. What they lack is the cooperation between each other. After all, they sit too much on the bench. For a long time, it is usually difficult to get the opportunity to play.

In these two days of training, the teenager Weizel, who has been wandering between the youth team and the main substitute, performed very well. He is proficient in passing, dribbling, and shooting in the midfield, far surpassing other young players. players.

Lannick was pleased with this.He remembered that during the German Cup match in the first half of the season, Neulan, the opponent, caused a lot of trouble for Hoffenheim under the leadership of this young man.Although Hoffenheim slaughtered the opponent with a big score in that game, Weizel's performance still left a very deep impression on him. It was his breakthrough and ability to control the game rhythm far beyond the average player that made the top Neulan's semi-professional team can compete with Hoffenheim within a certain period of time, and they will not lose at all.If it weren't for Murphy's wonderful performance, Hoffenheim, who played as a substitute, would probably be eliminated by his opponent in the first round of the cup.

It was also in this game that Rangnick realized the great potential of this young man. After sending scouts to follow and observe for a period of time, he was brought to the Rhine-Neckar Stadium during this winter break.And Weiser did not let him down. He worked hard in training and performed very well in the youth team competitions he participated in, and became the absolute main force of the German U17 youth team.And now, in the last round of the game against Wolfsburg, Weizel, who appeared on the top league stage for the first time, showed no stage fright and also contributed an assist.

Zeidler saw Lannick's admiring gaze towards Weizel, and couldn't help but smile, "Ralph, Michelle is a good boy, full of spirit, maybe he is another Could it be, why don't you give him a little more chance to play?"

Lannick murmured: "It's very good, but his body is a bit too weak, this is not acceptable! To succeed on the football field, a good body is the foundation. By the way, how does he get along with his teammates? ?”

Rangnick feels a little guilty. Weizel's football talent does not need to be questioned, but his personality tends to be withdrawn. It is not easy for such a person to get along with friends around him.He just gave him to Murphy and Salihovic, and then he was so busy with the team's burning things that he forgot about it.

Zeidler joked with a smile: "Ralph, do you have a conscience to find out one day as a hands-off shopkeeper? Haha!" After a pause, Zeidler continued, "You don't have to worry about that. With Mo's help, Although this kid is still not very talkative, the relationship with the players is quite harmonious. At least there is no conflict with any teammate. Hey, to be honest, this brother-in-law Mo is really competent. In sports, he gave all his money, and in life, he also took care of Weizel in every possible way. Tsk tsk, it's really rare..."

Lannick still showed a satisfied smile when he heard the first half, but the next words made him raise his eyebrows, and asked in doubt: "What brother-in-law..."

Zeidler looked at Mo Fei who was teasing Weizel, put his head closer, and said mysteriously: "Weizer's sister seems to be Mo's girlfriend..."

"Weiser's sister? Tina?" Lannick was confused.She does know Tina, a famous singer in Germany, and he likes her voice very much.Of course, he is also aware that Tina is Weizel's sister. He has met her several times at the Hope Training Base. At that time, he thought that Tina was here to see Weizel's training. Now it seems that she is a drunkard. The meaning is not in the wine, could it be that this kid is hiding it deep enough, unexpectedly ran away with a sexy and charming German singer without anyone noticing, and has a set...
