News that Ibisevic underwent surgery proves that he will indeed be unable to play in the remaining games of the season, and he will not be able to participate in the penultimate round of the match against Bayern Munich.

This is a blow to Hoffenheim. Although from the perspective of the players themselves, undergoing surgery is the best way, from the team's perspective, the absence of the top scorer's blow to the team is not only because they lack a firepower point, but also the psychological impact on the players is also very important... From the usual training, we can understand that the team is a little absent-minded in training, and everyone will always discuss Ibisevic's injury in their spare time. The last time the team was unable to win, Demba Ba said it was a curse. This time, no one said it was a curse, but many people really felt that the team was too unhappy in the second half of the season. Since Wellington was injured in the winter break, bad luck has been tangled with the team and people have been injured. For such frequent injuries, even the high-tech clinics in the Hoffenheim club have no way.

Fortunately, the team also had a psychiatrist. Rangnick found Dr. Hans_dieter_hermann, hoping that he would intervene with the players psychologically. The psychologist's daily job is to relieve the pressure of the players and enlighten them, and to strictly prevent psychological illnesses such as depression. In the past, there was a talented midfielder in Germany, named Sebastian_deisler. Everyone regarded him as the core of the midfield in Germany for the next ten years. Unexpectedly, due to frequent injuries and excessive pressure, he suffered from depression. He had to announce his retirement on January 16, 2007, when he had just celebrated his 27th birthday.

Although the players are paid high salaries, they are watched by the media and praised by the fans, making ordinary people seem to live a good life. But in fact, high salaries and high attention are huge pressure. For professional players, pressure is everywhere - in any team, the competition for the main position is very fierce. If you are in good condition and have a main position, the main position will be lost. The pressure will accompany the players in the competition for the position. At the same time, injuries are also the "good friends" of the players. Frequent injuries will also put players under great pressure. Desler is pressured because of five knee surgeries. In addition, the winners and losses of important games, the gains and losses of the championship, relegation and upgrades, goals and not scoring... these will bring pressure. Not all players have tough nerves like Chu Zhongtian and are not afraid of pressure to face difficulties. If you don't pay attention to the mental health of the players, tragedy will happen sooner or later.

However, most clubs do not pay attention to this point. They do not arrange full-time psychologists. Those who provide psychological counseling for players are often head coaches, but the head coach is not professional and has uneven quality levels. Not every head coach is a psychological master like Tony Donne... Now only Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim have full-time psychologists in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich has been taught a lesson by Deisler and realized that players not only need physical health, but also mental health. Hoffenheim has begun to pay attention to the role of psychologists a few years ago.

"This is a systematic project, Ralph. It's hard for me to assure you that it will work in a short period of time..." Dr. Hermann pushed the glasses frame that slid down from the bridge of his nose.

"But my team can't afford to lose a game now." Rangnick frowned.

"I heard that victory is a magic pill to cure everything. Ralph Cologne is not strong. If you can win, maybe the team's psychological problems will be solved."

"The key is not the game against Cologne, nor the game against Bielefeld, but the two games against Bayern and Schalke." Rangnick shook his head. The team's psychological problems now are like a time bomb, which is likely to be detonated in the most critical game.

"At least we still have time to counsel the players before the game against Bayern." Dr. Hermann considered it, "I will start to talk to the players after the training this afternoon. You can make a list and rank the people who think the most psychological fluctuations are at the forefront..."

※※※Just as Ralph Rangnick and the club's psychologist Hermann discussed how to provide psychological counseling for the players, Chu Zhongtian was also discussing with his two captains how to change the pessimistic mood and atmosphere within the team.

"To be honest, Vido's injury was really a big blow... As the season was about to end, we lost such a powerful person. And I think the impact on us is not only here. The opponents know that Vido cannot play, and they will also attack more boldly in the game, because we lack the person who can score the most, and the threat to their defense line is much smaller..." said Per Nilsson.

"There is a kind of emotion in the team now, that is, Vedo is injured, and ours is still behind. The league championship is basically out of the way. But even if we win the second place in the league, it is not bad, because we can still participate in the UEFA Champions League next season. For everyone, even if they can participate in the Champions League, it will be a good result... In the competition for the league championship, everyone is not motivated." Tebert introduced the team's situation.

Chu Zhongtian also knew these situations. Originally, everyone was trying to win the league championship. At that time, the team's lineup was neat and everyone was confident of winning the championship. But now the team's most important shooter was seriously injured and was reimbursed for the season. This was equivalent to pouring cold water on the heads of the highly motivated players. Just imagine what would it be like to put a red-burned iron ingot into the cold water? Hoffenheim is like this now.

Whether it is winning the championship or relegation, at the last moment, skills and tactics are often not important. What is important is that breath, and that breath cannot be released no matter what. Once it is released, it will be impossible to gather together.

For Hoffenheim, he is currently on the verge of not being able to breathe.

Whether it is Rangnick, Herman or the three captains, all they have to do is to stop this breath from leaking.

"It's just one point away, what's the point?" Chu Zhongtian asked back. "We must let our teammates know that the league champion still has a chance, and there is a lot of hope."

"What are you going to do?" Nilsong asked Chu Zhongtian, and Teber also turned his attention to him.

"I plan to tell them a story." Chu Zhongtian laughed.

The years he played for Wimbledon in the "crazy gang" was his precious asset, and now he intends to share this wealth with more people.

※※※Chu Zhongtian sometimes thinks that he should actually sign with Adidas, not Nike. Because his career has fully proved one thing - "impossible_is_nothing", nothing is impossible, Adidas' advertising slogan... At Wimbledon, they defeated the powerful Premier League team Chelsea as an amateur team, interpreting the sentence "no impossible" for the first time. Then they transferred to Metz. When facing the French Ligue 1 overlord Lyon, they once tied the team at home and were still in the French Cup.

They eliminated them and defeated Lyon in the French Super Cup at the beginning of the season. They were simply the nemesis of Lyon. Not only that, they also won the French Cup as a weak team, won the League Cup as a dark horse, and finally defeated the powerful AC Milan in the European Super Cup, winning the European Super Cup. Now in Hoffenheim, he tied Bayern as a newly promoted player at Allianz Stadium and won the winter championship. He is currently ranked second in the league and has great hope of winning the championship... These should have been impossible for ordinary people, but they have all been achieved.

So even if they lacked one Ibisevich, Chu Zhongtian didn't feel any pessimism.

One less Ibissevic, Salihovic, Demba, Obasi, himself and other teammates... Hoffenheim is still a very combat-ready team. With their strength, it is not impossible to win the league championship. This probability is always greater than that of an amateur team who defeats Chelsea in the FA Cup knockout round?

Since defeating Chelsea at Wimbledon, Chu Zhongtian has felt that nothing is impossible in this world.

After the training, the players returned to the locker room. No one talked about Ibissevic's injury anymore. Ibissevic's name seemed to be a magic spell, and it made people feel discouraged when they were mentioned.

The team lost the best firepower player in good shape at the closest to the league championship. Does this mean that God doesn't want to see them win the championship either?

Everyone was changing clothes or preparing to take a shower, Chu Zhongtian stood up and clapped his hands.

"Wait a little bit, I have something to tell you."

※※Doctor Herman got the list given to him by Rangnick. The first person was Chu Zhongtian. He felt strange and asked Rangnick: "I asked you to rank the most psychological fluctuations at the forefront... Are you sure he is that kind of person, Ralph?"

"I just consider that he is the captain, so I can communicate with him first so that the team can cooperate with your work. He has a high prestige in the team," Rangnick explained.

"That's it... OK, can you help me call him to my office... No, I'll go there myself, I want to see what the atmosphere is in the team's locker room." Dr. Hermann took the list and went out with Rangnick.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian was telling stories to his teammates, of course, it was the story of him participating in the FA Cup when he was competing in Wimbledon. It started with their qualification for the FA Cup. The climax was that the team defeated Chelsea incredibly. Chu Zhongtian scored two goals alone and became famous in one game.

"I know this game." Someone who listened to the teammates suddenly stood up. "I remember last year, I accidentally saw a news last year, saying that the top ten unpopularities in the history of the FA Cup selected by the British media, Wimbledon won the Chelsea in the first place..."

Chu Zhongtian looked over and said that the person who spoke was Comper.

The young Comper's usual hobby is reading, so he has the nicknames of "Google" and "Professor" in the team. The nickname is very obvious - if you don't understand, please ask Compper, a human search engine... "Three of the first four unpopulars were created by Wimbledon." Compper explained to everyone, "The fourth one is... they won the championship against Liverpool?" He was not very sure after saying that, after all, that was two years ago, and he didn't remember it very clearly, so he cast a questioning look at Chu Zhongtian again.

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Although Wimbledon was a team in the league at that time, he was just a weak team. They defeated the powerful Liverpool in 1988 and won the only FA Cup in the club's history."

As a member of the "Mad Gang", Chu Zhongtian knows the past of the Mad Gang.

"The second one was also created by Wimbledon. They beat Burnley... What kind of team is Burnley, Chu? I know Liverpool, but I don't know Burnley." After saying that, Comper looked at him again, let Chu Zhongtian explain.

Chu Zhongtian naturally knew about this game.

"Burnley was the League One team at that time, and the League One was the highest league in England, which was equivalent to the current Premier League. So Burnley was the Premier League team at that time. Wimbledon was also playing in the Southern Regional League and was an amateur team. They defeated Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup..." Chu Zhongtian explained.

If Wimbledon hadn't had a competitive victory over Chelsea, this game would have been ranked first in the top ten unpopular in the history of the FA Cup. Because that game set a precedent for non-league teams in the 20th century FA Cup to beat top league teams.

If you think about it carefully, Wimbledon took three of the four seats in the top ten unpopular FA Cup rankings, which is not simply a coincidence. Because Wimbledon's team has always maintained their courage and integrity, just like the team's legendary head coach Dave Bassett said: "The crazy gang is a spirit, a never-ending attitude." This spirit is always inspiring them, allowing them to dare to challenge opponents who are far stronger than themselves, create miracles repeatedly, and complete things that others think are "impossible tasks", and then everyone in the world is stunned and their glasses are broken.

Now the team, whose name is changed to Milton Keynes, is self-aware. They know that they cannot bear the title of "crazy gang", so they voluntarily gave up the name of "Wimbledon". So now in England, there is only one crazy gang, that is Wimbledon, which is still in the amateur league. The head of this club is currently in a lawsuit with the FA, hoping to return to the history of "crazy gang". If they succeed, the team's honor bar will have an additional FA Cup championship, which was won by their predecessors for them. They defeated the arrogant Liverpool in the final, and that game ranked fourth among the top ten unpopular FA Cup history selected by the English media.

"Why can an amateur team do anything, why don't we dare to think about it?" After the story was finished, Chu Zhongtian asked everyone.

"Ibi was injured, of course Ibi was very sad. But this is not the reason for us to give up. Ibi is just Ibi? Is there no need for all of us to exist? The league championship is achieved by the whole team's efforts, not by a single person. Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04... When these teams win the championship, do they only rely on one person? Although we lack Ibi, we still have Saiyad, Bahrain, Obasi... and all of you." Chu Zhongtian pointed one by one and pointed to everyone.

He didn't point to himself, but everyone knew it in his heart. In fact, this team lacked Ibisevic, but if Chu was missing, it would be really hopeless... Chu Zhongtian didn't continue to say it. He felt that he had finished saying everything he should say, and it depends on how much his teammates could understand.

※※※"The crazy gang is a spirit, a attitude of never saying death..." Doctor Herman murmured outside the door as he heard this sentence.

He had no idea about Wimbledon's football before, nor did he know what crazy or crazy or crazy or crazy. But just this simple sentence suddenly made the strange name come alive in his mind.

He didn't know those people, he didn't even know what color of jerseys to wear in Wimbledon, nor did he watch their games. But it was strange that when he heard this, he could automatically think of their gritting teeth and fighting on the court.

"This sentence is very good." Hermann commented after reading it.

Rangnick was recalling the story Chu Zhongtian just told.

"I think we should wait a little longer, Ralph, anyway, the day after tomorrow will be against Cologne. Let's see how the players perform in training." Dr. Hermann turned around and walked back. "Today, I won't bother the guys."

※※※On May 9th, Hoffenheim welcomed Cologne at home in the 31st round of the league. This was their first game after Ibisek was missing. Everyone widened their eyes to see if this young team would collapse as some media predicted, as the most important scorer in the team, and collapsed at the closest to the finish line.

They were disappointed in the end.

Hoffenheim defeated Cologne with a 3-0 score with a clean and neat score of 30,000 home fans.

In the 58th minute, the Cologne player made a foul in front of the penalty area and gave Hoffenheim a free kick with an excellent position. Salihovic took the penalty and the football went straight to the dead corner of the goal. The Cologne goalkeeper was out of reach and could only watch the football enter the goal. 1:0!

In the 68th minute, Demba Ba, who was active in this game, received a second pass from Chu Zhongtian, and shot 20 meters away from the goal. The football flew into the lower right corner of the goal, 2:0!

In the 78th minute, Hoffenheim won another penalty. This time the person who gave the penalty was Obasi. Obasi calmly shot and sent the football into the goal. 3:0!!
Chapter completed!
