Emily rushed to Germany again. In fact, she was quite busy during this period, but for her boyfriend's first league championship, she postponed all her work and took a week to accompany Chu Zhongtian.

Emily's arrival obviously made Chu Zhongtian full of fighting spirit than winning the championship. When he got home, he saw Emily's warm smile. The fatigue of training for a day was thrown behind him.

But the most important thing is not to be gentle with Emily, but to actively prepare for the final round of the league.

Chu Zhongtian has participated in the League Cup final, the French Cup final, and the European Super Cup, but this is his first time to compete for the league championship, so this last week is a brand new experience for him.

Not to mention Chu Zhongtian, this is a new experience for the entire Hoffenheim team and the entire Sinsheim City.

The small city of Sinsheim is now worried about where to celebrate after the team wins the championship. According to the tradition of German football, after winning the championship, the teams have to enjoy themselves on the balcony of the local town hall. Most of the city halls in large cities in Germany have balconies, but small cities like Sinsheim do not have city halls. However, Sinsheim did not expect a professional team to appear here, and they could win the prize plate for the Bundesliga championship so quickly.

It is obviously too late to build a balcony. It seems that the team's celebration can only be changed. The small square in front of the city hall is not good either. The place is too small to accommodate so many fanatical fans. The residents of Hoffenheim have already spoken. On the day of the championship, they have to send the whole village to celebrate the team. With these more than 3,000 people alone, the city hall square in Sinsheim cannot accommodate, let alone the Hoffenheim fans coming from Sinsheim and other places... When the team is actively preparing for the last round of the league, the senior executives of Hoffenheim Club are discussing with the Sinsheim Municipal Government, otherwise they will temporarily change the tradition. After receiving the mayor's reception from the city hall, they will take a bus parade and finally celebrate at the Rhine-Neka Stadium.

This plan is the only feasible at present. It is obviously unrealistic to build a balcony.

The whole of Sinsheim moved for the championship, from the mayor to the ordinary people. During this period, Hoffenheim's blue and white team flag was sold very well. Every household bought one and hung it on the window facing the street. The media who rushed to Hoffenheim from all over the world to report the last round of the league spread this scene all over the world, and the whole world knew that Sinsheim was crazy for a German champion.

"Blue and White" is now used to describe Sinsheim, because the blue and white Hoffenheim flag is flying throughout the city.

"They are our pride!" The citizens of Sinsheim who were interviewed said excitedly. "It was they who let the whole world know about Sinsheim."

"I'm from Heidelberg, and I want to say that my friends in London are friendly, but the only trouble is that they don't know where my hometown is... I told them that I'm from Heidelberg. I thought they all knew this famous university town, but my friends didn't know where Heidelberg was. The only person I met who knew Heidelberg was the director of SAP's London branch... Now my troubles are lifted, thanks to Hoffenheim. When I introduce myself, I still say that I'm from Heidelberg, but I will add it later.

One sentence: 'I live on the same street with Hoffenheim's goalkeeper'. I became the focus immediately and people will leave a deep impression on me... Although in the UK, Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo are the most famous stars, Hoffenheim's captain Chu is also very familiar with them. A friend of mine also said that he hopes to watch Hoffenheim's game on site, and I told him that he might be able to realize this wish next season. If Hoffenheim draws with a British team in the Champions League, haha!"

In China, due to Chu Zhongtian's relationship, a group of Hoffenheim fans have also appeared. They have developed from paying attention to Chu Zhongtian to paying attention to the past of Hoffenheim, and have fallen in love with this young and energetic team. Hoffenheim's jerseys have also become a popular product for many buyers on Taobao in China. On the football field of many schools, children wearing Hoffenheim jerseys can already be seen playing football.

Hoffenheim Club receives countless letters written by enthusiastic Chinese fans every day. Of course, they will give back many gifts to these enthusiastic fans, such as postcards signed by Chu Zhongtian and other players, scarves, jerseys and an almanac with family portraits of players... Hoffenheim Club manager Shen Delmaize mentioned enthusiastic Chinese fans in an interview with Chinese media. He also said that the club is considering whether to play a game in China in the summer to thank the enthusiastic Chinese fans.

There are also domestic merchants who are planning to spend money to invite Hoffenheim to China to play several commercial games when they see Hoffenheim's reputation growing. They are now talking to Hoffenheim Club. Once the operation is successful, I believe that the profit will not be lost, because Hoffenheim is not a big-name team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and they will not speak out loud on the appearance fee. At the same time, Hoffenheim is a new high in China and has a high popularity. In addition, Chu Zhongtian is very popular in China and has the gimmick of the "New Bundesliga Championship", which is enough to ensure that they make money back.

※※Every time Chu Zhongtian drove to Hoffenheim to train, he could see the house of Koniriya's family. He noticed that a ladder had been set up outside the wall of the house, and paint and other tools had been transported to the roof. Although the competition had not started yet, Koniriya and the others had already determined that Hoffenheim would win the championship.

There is also one person who is also determined to win the championship in Munich.

"Fritz, what are you doing?" Mom heard a bang bang on her head, and she ran up to knock on the door and asked.

Abel didn't want his mother to know what she was doing now, so he concealed: "Ah... I'm nailing nails on the wall and planning to hang a painting..."

Then he continued to rush to the sky and nail the flagpole brackets in the window.

After he finished this, he hung out the Hoffenheim flag he bought yesterday.

He felt very accomplished as he watched the blue and white flag with the Hoffenheim team logo fluttering outside the window.

Daniel had just finished his apprenticeship at the factory. When he returned home, he suddenly felt that there was something else in this very familiar street. He had never seen this thing here before. When he looked up, he found a blue and white flag floating outside the window of a house on the second floor.

He saw the Hoffenheim logo on the flag. Even if he is not a Hoffenheim fan, he still recognizes it. This team has appeared in front of him many times this season.

Then he discovered that the house with the flag was Fritz Abel's home.

"Oh, what a hell!" He cursed. The boy was becoming more and more rampant. He couldn't do such a thing before... He had a thought faintly in his mind - this coward who was bullied by him seemed to be undergoing some change. From the time he bet with him that day, he could no longer lower his head and talk to his companions with timidity. Facing those vicious people, he could also raise his head and look at them. Although his eyes were still a little flashing, it was not easy for the famous coward Abel.

He heard that Abel secretly ran to watch Hoffenheim's home game against Bayern Munich, and was taught a lesson by his mother for this. The change started from this game. Daniel finished watching this game in front of the TV, and the result made him very unhappy, but he still didn't understand what magic there is in a game that could make Abel change like this... What did he experience in Hoffenheim? What changed him?

Daniel looked up at the flag on the window of Abel's room, puzzled.

※※※When you are preparing for something very important, time always passes quickly. Hoffenheim practices two days a day, and the training intensity is the same as usual. When the players realize it, there is only one day before the game.

Today is the last training session. After the training, the players will take a bus to the Schalke district of Gelsenkirchen, where they will face the strong obstacles of host Schalke 04 there on the afternoon of the next day.

The match with Bayern can only be considered as pre-dinner wine, while the match with Schalke is the main meal.

"Before today's training starts, there's someone who hopes to meet you." Head coach Rangnick pushed his glasses, and after he said that, he pushed it aside, and then a figure came from outside the training ground.

Someone in the team exclaimed and then whistled.

"Hi, brothers, long time no see." Ibissevic, wearing a casual outfit, raised his hand to wave to his teammates.

"Can you leave?" Sarihovic noticed that Ibisevic did not use crutches or asked for help, so he walked over, although his pace was still a little slow.

"It's been a long time no see, Vido!" Weiss shouted. "How is your groin injury recovering?"

Everyone came up to greet Ibisevic and were concerned about his recovery from his injuries.

Rangnick shouted, "Okay, boys. Vido has something to say to you."

Only then did everyone calm down and look at Ibisevich.

"I am here to apologize to you, brothers." Ibisevich's first words surprised everyone - what apologize? What should I apologize to us?

He ignored everyone's surprised expression and continued. "When I was injured and lying in the hospital, I was unwilling to undergo surgery. I fantasized that in another week or two, I could return to the field and help the team win the championship. Although I knew what kind of harm would be caused to me if I insisted on the game, I always felt that the team would not be able to win the championship without it. Until Chu and Sayard came to see me. They told me that the team is a whole. Although I regret it, they will still strive to win the championship. My idea is an insult to you who are still working hard. I realized my mistake, so I decided to undergo surgery. Now I am very happy to see that everyone has only one game away from the league championship, so I think I should apologize to you before this and ask for your forgiveness."

Everyone looked at each other, it turned out to be this, but... Speaking of Ibissevic's apology, they felt guilty because after Ibissevic was injured, there was indeed a pessimism spreading within the team, feeling that the team's prospects for winning the championship were bleak and they were finished. But Chu Zhongtian used his personal experience to tell everyone that nothing in this world is impossible. Since an amateur team in the ninth league can defeat the powerful Premier League giant Chelsea, why does Hoffenheim dare not even think about the idea of ​​winning the championship? They don't know what the Mad Gang is, but they all remembered the sentence - "Mad Gang is a spirit, an attitude that never says death."

If it weren't for Chu and his story, maybe they really couldn't get to where they are today and then accept Ibisevic's apology here. So they feel that they deserve to accept this apology, and the only person who deserves it should be Chu, their captain.

"Hey, this..." Weiss touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Actually, we were really a little depressed after you were injured, thinking that there was no chance to win the championship. It was Chu who made us regain our confidence." He pointed to Chu Zhongtian, and the others nodded in agreement.

Chu Zhongtian smiled.

Ibisevich laughed and said to Chu Zhongtian: "It's you again."

Chu Zhongtian shrugged.

"Thank you." Ibisekic turned around and said to everyone. "I can't go to Schalke with you tomorrow's game. As you see, my actions are a little inconvenient." He spread his hands and felt helpless. "But I will cheer you up in front of the TV, brothers. I know Schalke 04 is a very powerful team and is difficult to deal with. I don't know what the game will look like, but no matter what, don't forget that we are a whole. Hoffenheim has no big-name stars, Hoffenheim is the biggest star!"

Everyone applauded and whistled to thank Ibisevic for this pre-war mobilization.

"Well said, Vido! We are a whole!"

"You are waiting for our good news at home!"

"Thanks Vido." Rangnik walked up and patted Ibisevic on the shoulder. "Let's start training, guys."

A group of people went to warm up with high spirits.

Rangnik said to Ibisevic, who was standing aside, "Thank you for coming to tell them this, Vido."

Ibisevic looked at his teammates who were following the physical coach in a circle and warm up and said, "Even if you don't look for me, I'll come back, coach. Since I was injured, I have watched every game. Every time I watch a game, I have a lot of words in my heart and want to say to them. But I have always been worried about disturbing them..."

"How could that happen?" Rangnick smiled. "They are extremely firm. I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that can interfere with them now."

Schalke 04 is not good either.

※※※"Everyone is talking about Hoffenheim's hope for the championship, and I think it's unfair to our guys." The day before the game, Schalke 04's transition coach Michael_buskens said this in an interview.

The game has not started yet, but Schalke has already started a psychological war.

Schalke 04 has experienced a mid-range change in coach this season, and his performance is not good, but he is currently ranked seventh and still has hope to compete for the qualification for the European war.

"We also need to compete for the League Cup qualification, we are not the slaughtered fish."

The media in Gelsenkirchen found out the old accounts of Rangnick. He coached at Schalke 04 and led the club to a league runner-up and entered the Champions League. However, because of the bad relationship with the big-name stars in the team, the club stood on the side of the players when dealing with this matter. Rangnick, the head coach who created the best league record in the club's history, was dismayed. This get out of class hit him a lot. He was discouraged and actually planned to come to China to coach the Chinese Olympic team... The media reported that the old accounts were obviously to affect Hoffenheim's head coach and thus affect Hoffenheim's performance. Some media said that the most glorious period of Rangnick's coaching was the second in the league in Schalke 04. Now Hoffenheim cannot surpass this score, so he can only get second. "He is destined to be the second." Gelsenkirchen's local media mocked harshly.

Rangnick himself is quite open about this past.

In an interview with reporters, he said that if he had the past, let it go. Of course, he missed his days in Schalke 04, but now he is very happy in Hoffenheim. He also smiled at the statement that he could only win the second place.

However, Hoffenheim players stood up for their head coach.

"Second? Schalke 04 has no hope of getting second." Weiss looked disdainful.

Sinsheim's media also launched a counterattack against Gelsenkirchen's provocation. They also found out the old accounts of Schalke 04, saying that Schalke 04 is an inhumane club, and it is particularly good to exclude dissidents.

Schalke 04 has always thought that he is a big club, and the head coaches who coach the team should have dazzling qualifications and backgrounds. As for coaching results, it is secondary. Last season, Slomka, as the head coach of Schalke 04, had a good result in leading the team, but in the eyes of the senior management of Schalke 04 Club, this head coach who has neither qualifications nor fame is very annoying. So he was dismissed a few hours after losing to the poor.

In the eyes of Sinsheim media, Rangnick felt this way when he was dismissed. Rangnick looked like this in the eyes of the senior executives of Schalke 04 Club, and he had no reputation and no outstanding qualifications.

The media on both sides started a war of words a few days before the game.

For Hoffenheim, they have experienced too many verbal battles this season, especially when they first played against Bayern Munich, the overwhelming battle that lasted for more than two weeks made all Hoffenheim players baptized, allowing these former rookies to learn how to deal with their opponents' psychological battles.

Therefore, the things Schalke 04 does not completely interfere with Hoffenheim players. They may face a very difficult game, but it has nothing to do with fighting words or something.

As Rangnick said, in this last round of the game, there is probably nothing in the world that can interfere with them.
Chapter completed!
