Chapter 108 The climax of a season
In fact, when the game entered injury time, Lef began to report data to everyone: "In fact, whether it is Hoffenheim or Wolfsburg's championship, they will be another new champion in the history of the Bundesliga. Before that, a new champion in the Bundesliga was born in the 1995-1996 season thirteen years ago, and Dortmund won that season. Both teams performed very well this season. Hoffenheim was terrifying in the first half of the season, and Wolfsburg quietly made them leave.
Many competitors, Wolfsburg's scorer combination with record-breaking Bundesliga - Grafitte and Dzeko have teamed up to score 54 goals, surpassing the record of 53 goals in a single season set by Gede Muller and Uli Henes 37 years ago. If Ibissevic is not injured, Hoffenheim might be able to take this honor into his arms. However, they have the assist king of Bundesliga this season - Chu! Although he did not assist his teammates in this game, he gave his teammates this season.
Created a total of 115 scoring opportunities, and the teammates seized twenty-three of them. Wolfsburg's Misimovic assists in this game, but only raised his assists to twenty, but still could not shake Chu's assists. Misimovic's twenty assists were only tied the best record, but Chu set a new record. Few people can create more than twenty assists in a season, and Chu accomplished something that no one can do - twenty-three assists in a season
Attack! This is the record of the largest number of assists in a single season in Bundesliga history! Last season, the Bundesliga assist king was Diego of Bremen, who played 24 assists and 11 goals. Looking at the entire European football scene last season, the Premier League assist king was Arsenal's Fabregas, with 19 assists. La Liga was Guti of Real Madrid and Ibagasa of Mallorca, with 14 assists each. Serie A was Pizarro of Rome, with 12 assists. Ligue 1 assists are Caru of Paris Saint-Germain and Feindono of Saint-Etienne, with 4 times each."
Assist data is not as good as goals, because the statistical rules of many leagues are different. The number of assists in the Bundesliga is often more because they pass the last pass before the shot is considered as assist. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian passes directly from the backcourt, and his teammates rushed 30 meters after receiving the ball, and then shot several people before scoring. This situation is also considered Chu Zhongtian's assist. In Serie A, Chu Zhongtian's goal is not considered as assist. Serie A is very strict, and it must be a shot within three steps after receiving the ball to be considered as assist. Therefore, the most typical assist is a cross from the side and a cross from the middle to score directly.
Chu Zhongtian has such a high number of assists, and is somewhat cared for by the Bundesliga assist statistics rules. But despite this, he is also very powerful. You should know that there are many other balls that he did not directly assist, but he planned them.
"With such an outstanding performance, let's see how wise it was to pay 30 million euros to buy him. No one will laugh at Hope for being the sucker. He bought a Bundesliga assist king, the team's new core, and the biggest contributor to help the team win the league championship. The businessman Hope made another good deal."
The game on the court has lost its suspense, so Lef has the time to report numbers to everyone.
In another stadium, the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg also became quiet. Wolfsburg fans already knew that Schalke 04 and Hoffenheim were still 1:3 in injury time. Schalke 04 could not score three goals in less than five minutes to complete a big reversal, so the victory on Wolfsburg seemed meaningless. Although they swept Werder Bremen 5:1, they avenged the revenge of losing to Bremen 2:5 in the first half of the season.
The green flags in the stands were lowered, and the fans stopped singing and looked confused. They could only accept the result in this way.
The Wolfsburg players on the court were also depressed, and some even couldn't suppress their disappointment and left tears of sadness.
They set many Bundesliga records in the second half of the season, such as the longest winning streak and the most scorer combination goals record...but these records are not worth mentioning in front of the Bundesliga champions.
Hoffenheim withstood the pressure at the last moment and did not give them a chance to turn the tables. All their efforts have become the green leaves that set off the red flower of the new champion. They are the best foil for Hoffenheim, making Hoffenheim's Bundesliga champion very valuable.
Magath lowered his high head and he could not do anything about this result. They worked hard, but since they lost to Stuttgart, their destiny was not in their hands. The championship will always be the team that performed better, and Hoffenheim's performance is obviously better than them. They can lose to Stuttgart away, but Hoffenheim can defeat the powerful Bayern Munich at home.
That game is the game that really determines the title.
Now it seems that Wolfsburg's defeat this season was decided in two places, one is naturally the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Stuttgart, and the other is Hoffenheim's home court Rhineka Stadium. If they do not lose to Stuttgart, then Hoffenheim will not be able to overtake and return to the top of the list. If Hoffenheim does not defeat Bayern Munich at his home court, then as long as Wolfsburg wins, he will win the championship. There is no need to look at others' faces. Destiny is in his own hands.
Unfortunately, there is no if on the football field. Because when you say if, your opponent can say that if they interrupt the performance in the second half, Wolfsburg will not have the chance to dream of winning the championship.
※※The game is not over yet, but Hoffenheim players are no longer interested in the game. There is little time left, and they lead by two goals. Unless there is a very small chance of accidents, they are actually the league champions.
Schalke 04's players also seem to be lacking in fighting spirit, so Hoffenheim's players can fall back and forth in the game, just waiting for the referee to blew the whistle to the end of the game.
The live broadcast of the Bundesliga gave Hildebran a close-up shot. This game performed well. When Schalke besieged Hoffenheim goal 04, the goalkeeper who made key saves many times had tears in his eyes. He transferred to Hoffenheim to find his form again and strived to be able to enter the German national team in the 2010 South Africa World Cup. He had enough of his eyes and doubts in Spain. Unexpectedly, he just transferred back to Germany and won the prize plate for the Bundesliga championship. For a moment, he was excited
He couldn't help himself. When he left the German League, he joined Valencia with the halo of Bundesliga championship. Now he has returned to Germany and won the Bundesliga championship again. From the starting point to the end point, the scenery seems to be the same, as if he has gone around in a circle... He feels like he has had a dream, but in fact he has never left Stuttgart... Weiss even raised his arms and cheered many times in the game. Chu Zhongtian kicked the ball to him, and after he caught the ball, he passed it out, and then raised his arms high and didn't want to put it down.
He is not the only one who does this. Many Hoffenheim players are absent-minded at the last moment of the game and are dedicated to celebrating. Except for Hildebrand, no one in this team has ever had the experience of winning the Bundesliga. Not to mention the Bundesliga, even the four major European leagues, no one in this team has ever had the experience of winning the championship. Chu Zhongtian, the most experienced, has only three cup championships.
There is only one thought in everyone's mind: "Champion! Champion! We are the fucking champions! The damn league champions!"
It is really amazing to win the league championship as a new team. It is enough to make them proud for a long time.
The Hoffenheim fans in the stands had already set off the prepared fireworks, hugging each other and cheering in the stands.
Schalke 04 fans left early after witnessing the team's failure for a season at home.
German Football Association Chairman Zwanchig has stretched out his hand to Hoffenheim Club owner Dietma Hope, who is sitting next to him: "Congratulations, Dietma. This is really an unforgettable season, the most exciting season I have ever seen. You have done it, congratulations!"
Hope held the other person's hand, his face full of unconcealed smiles: "Thank you, thank you... it's all the credit of Rangnick and the young men..."
※※※The referee Schmidt was also very understanding. When he saw that everyone's attention was not on the game, he decisively blew the whistle at the end of the game in advance.
"The competition-the game-ending-the end! Congratulations to the birth of the new Bundesliga champion! Hoffenheim!!"
When the referee blew the final whistle, huge cheers burst out from the stands where Hoffenheim fans gathered. Many of them were already filled with tears and covered their faces with their hands. Many of them were the most hardcore Hoffenheim fans, how hard is they? Decades ago, when Hoffenheim was a small team that was entertaining and playing in regional amateur leagues, they often appeared in the simple stands, watching the players playing on the exposed field and cheering for them. Some of them even even
They have played in Hoffenheim like that. They never thought that their field would be able to play in the professional league one day, and they would be promoted to three levels in two years, becoming a member of the Bundesliga. They never thought that a team like Bayern Munich would play in the small village of Hoffenheim, and they never thought that this team's game could attract live broadcasts from more than 150 countries... As for the Bundesliga champions, they didn't dare to think about it. That was the business of Bayern Munich and other teams, and it had nothing to do with us, the country bumpkins.
But now, things that I didn’t dare to think about in the past happened before them and became a reality.
At this time last year, when they were promoted to Class A as second in the German Second Division, there was a grand celebration in Sinsheim. At that time, many people thought that this would be the most important moment in their lives. Unexpectedly, only one year later, this most important moment will change. Perhaps this is the most important moment in their lives?
Koniriya was in the crowd, her naked arms, shoulders and chest were covered in sweat. She was still singing hard, but she was a little out of tune and her voice was trembling.
"We will win in the end! The cup is full of beer!"
※※※Fritz Abel screamed and fell to his knees in front of the TV. He raised his arms to the ceiling like a player after scoring the goal, raised his head and screamed loudly: "Champion! Champion! We are the Champion!!"
Then he jumped up from the ground and ran around in the narrow living room with his arms wide open. He jumped over the chair blocking the road, jumped over the sofa, and finally jumped onto the dining table on the stool, waved the Hoffenheim scarf in his hand, and began to sing Hoffenheim's team song: "We will win in the end! The cup is full of beer!"
Daniel turned around at the last moment of the game and looked at the scores between Bayern Munich and Stuttgart. 2:1, Bayern Munich won. After seeing this result, he replaced Taiwan with Schalke 04 home game against Hoffenheim.
He kept seeing the referee blew the final whistle, and Hoffenheim players hugged each other tightly.
This team he has always looked down upon has become the new Bundesliga champion in front of him. He lost the bet between him and Abel.
He was thinking about what to say if he met Abel tomorrow...※※※※The first whistle sounded just after the final game, the Hoffenheim substitutes and coaches who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed into the field, and the Hoffenheim players on the field hugged each other with their adjacent teammates.
They are fully releasing their emotions, striving for this league champion, and miracle for the promotion team!
In fact, they did not realize that they could become the league champion this season. They just rely on the momentum of "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" and a sense of freshness. They buried their heads and sprinted in one breath and rushed to the position of winter championship. Even if there were opponents there saying that Hoffenheim could compete for the league championship this season, they only thought that it was the psychological trick of a cunning opponent, and every time they took it seriously. Until after the game against Bayern Munich, Chu Zhongtian said on the TV show that his goal was to hope that the team would win the league championship. Only then did everyone realize that maybe it could be?
The second half of the season was another half season for the team, and they experienced a lot of things. However, these things did not defeat them. Every time they experienced difficulties and troubles, they could learn a lot from it and gain the strength to keep moving forward.
This is the most important reason why they did not make any mistakes in the last two rounds.
Chu Zhongtian clenched his hand into fists, then raised it high, and then he was hugged by his excited teammates. He didn't even have time to see who came, but only heard him roaring in his ears: "Champion! We are the champions! We are the league champions!!"
This sentence may be the most common sentence for everyone at this time.
The media rushed into the court, looking for the winners, trying to dig out something valuable from the excitement to their mouths.
As the team's head coach, Rangnick, the creator of the miracle of this newly promoted team, was naturally surrounded by the most media.
As the captain of the team, Chu Zhongtian's most successful signing this season is also a pursuit from the media.
Especially the Chinese media.
For them, Hoffenheim won the championship, which is also the pride of the Chinese, because the core of this championship team is Chu Zhongtian from China.
They surrounded Chu Zhongtian one after another, wanting to hear Chu Zhongtian's thoughts on winning the championship.
"Are you excited to be the second Kaiserslautern, Chu Zhongtian?"
"No, no!" Chu Zhongtian shook his head vigorously. He was really excited. It can be seen from the strength and amplitude of his head. The league championship is the honor he dreamed of. Even if he has won the League Cup, the French Cup and the European Super Cup, it is the same. As a professional player, who doesn't want to win more honors? "We are not the second Kaiserslautern, we are the first Hoffenheim!"
"Congratulations on winning the Bundesliga championship, Chu! What is your comment on this season?"
“Very wonderful! Very perfect!”
"So Is there anything I want to say..."
"This champion... This champion must be dedicated to Ibi! I know you must watch it in front of the TV. Ibi! This champion is yours! Thank you for your goal!" Chu Zhongtian was so excited that he was a little incoherent. He had won the League Cup championship, but the league championship was still more important.
The reporters wanted to ask more questions. At this time, several Chinese reporters' faces changed when they saw the situation behind Chu Zhongtian. Then Chu Zhongtian felt that he was thrown into a basin of cold water on his head - it was not cold water, but a big glass of beer... "Wow! How do you feel? Chu! This is specially prepared for you! The gift of our whole team!" The person who poured the wine was defender Comper. The person who was usually very mature and steady also showed his young side at this time, he liked to make trouble and was also very crazy.
Chu Zhongtian wiped a handful of beer on his face and turned to look at Comper who had run away. Then he turned around and said to the media, "Wait, I'll deal with it..." After that, he ran away. When he ran, he snatched a bottle of beer from his teammate Pogattz. After shaking violently, he bounced the bottle cap with his thumb and squirted at Comper who was running away.
Many media were helpless when they looked at these crazy champions... Rangnick did not escape this disaster. When he was interviewed by the media, several players were thrown beer from different directions. The glasses were covered with wine and nothing could be seen.
This is the tradition of German football. After winning the championship, everyone has to take a "beer bath".
※※After the trouble, the whole Hoffenheim team returned to the locker room to change their clothes. They put on the T-shirts that had been prepared for a long time, and returned to the court. The podium was already set.
Because it wasn't at their home court, the award ceremony was simple. The real celebration started when they returned to Sinsheim. There, there was a grand party waiting for them, and it was a city-wide carnival.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they went on stage to accept the awards from the President of the German Football Association. Their boss, Mr. Hope, stood aside, shook hands with every player who had received the medal, patted their shoulders and faces, and said something to praise them.
Most of the time, they are like "good job, boy", "awesome, Saiyad", "congratulations, Tobias".
After Rangnick received the award, he walked to Hope. Hope no longer said just a simple sentence, patted his shoulder, and the two started chatting.
At the same time, both of them were looking at the podium.
The last person to go on stage was Captain Chu Zhongtian.
He bent down and asked Tswanchig to give himself a gold medal. The German Football Association chairman held his hand and said, "Your performance this season is really fantastic, Chu. Congratulations, your performance and your teammates deserve it..." As he said that, he walked to the table where the prize plate was placed. Chu Zhongtian followed, but in fact, his eyes locked in the silver prize plate from the beginning.
The champion of the German Football League is different from other leagues. It is not a trophy, but a prize plate, a large salad plate.
Now, this large salad plate is surrounded by Hoffenheim players and will be awarded to German Football Association Chairman Zwanchig, who took down some of the prize plates and handed them to Chu Zhongtian.
The climax of a season is here.
Chu Zhongtian took over the prize plate and did not raise it immediately, but leaned over to put the prize plate on his knees. At the same time, his teammates behind him and the Hoffenheim fans in the stands all leaned over and raised their hands flat, gently shaking their arms, and a continuous and slow cheering sound came from his mouth. This is a unique move by German fans. Every time the team plays various set pieces, they will make such a low sound first. As the football is kicked out, their cheers will suddenly reach the peak.
This time, Chu Zhongtian kept pressing the prize plate and not lifting it up, and everyone's cheers continued like this.
It was as if he was charging for energy. When he felt that it was enough, he suddenly raised the prize plate in his hand, and the cheers suddenly increased, like a volcano erupting.
"Champion! Hoffenheim!"
Chapter completed!
