Van Gaal wanted to kill this "peasant uprising", so he started to substitution after conceding the ball. First, he replaced Baum John with Thomas_muller and asked Schweinsteiger to play the midfielder. Thomas Muller went up to play the midfielder. Then he found that Van Bomel did not have the upper hand in the confrontation with Chu Zhongtian, and it could even be said to be a little difficult, so he replaced the Dutch with Tymoshchuk, who had only joined the team this summer.

But the effect is still not good, and the game rhythm is still under Hoffenheim's control. They are very adapted to this fast-changing offense and defense, but Bayern Munich is a little unable to keep up.

Rangnick also changed people, he replaced Salihovic and replaced Eduardo. This was a counter-substitution and there was no intention of strengthening the defense. Hoffenheim still wanted to attack and strive to score more goals.

Until the last moment of the game, Bayern Munich did not get any good opportunities, and they were completely restricted in this game. Van Gaal's contempt and lack of understanding of Hoffenheim were finally fully reflected in this game. Bayern Munich had no choice but to face this opponent, which was definitely not unfamiliar.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the TV broadcast specially gave Van Gaal a shot, and the expression on his face was not very good. Obviously, he did not expect his team to lose so much away from home. In addition to the performance in the first half, the second half was simply disastrous for Bayern Munich.

As soon as the game ended, he and Rangnick hurriedly shook hands, left the court, entered the passage, and left all the reporters behind.

Rangnick's face was filled with a bright smile. It was a gratifying thing that they beat Bayern Munich in the first round of the season and the opening match of the Bundesliga.

The fans in the stands were equally happy, singing songs to cheer for Hoffenheim.

"We are Hoffenheim! Let you taste our football!!"

They waved their fists to Bayern players in a show-off manner.

Faced with the reaction of Hoffenheim fans, the Bayern player who lost the ball had no confidence to refute, so he could only lower his head and hurriedly leave the stadium.

"This game shows that Hoffenheim won the championship last season definitely not luck. They do have that strength!"

"Before the game, I thought the draw between the two sides would be a good result. After watching this game, I think Hoffenheim won fairly. Their performance in the second half was perfect! Chu's performance in the second half was dominant. It was obvious that Hoffenheim's offensive rhythm followed him, and Bayern Munich's rhythm was also under control. Such a player only spent 30 million euros on Hope, I want to say it's too cheap..."

"Van Gaal claims that Bayern Munich's goal this season is European arena, and now it seems that he has to be careful of the domestic league. However, in the absence of Ribery, Klose and Demikelis, it is normal to lose to last season's league champion Hoffenheim with one goal. I believe that Bayern Munich is still a strong contender for the league championship after the initial running-in period..."

The commentators began to comment on the game one after another.

Basically, they all praised Hoffenheim, which greatly satisfied Abel in front of the TV. After Daniel witnessed another failure of Bayern Munich, he could only remain silent.

He was in a bad mood and left without even saying goodbye to Abel.

And when Abel came back to his senses from the excitement of winning, he realized that there was one person missing.

Daniel liked the team lost the ball, but he did not use himself to vent his anger. This is a brand new experience for Abel who watched the ball with Daniel.

※※A year ago, if Hoffenheim beat Bayern Munich in the first round of the league, he would definitely be a "big unpopular" by the German media. But now, no one is surprised by the result of this game. People in Germany recognize Hoffenheim's strength, especially in the second half of this game, their performance was so perfect that some German media even exclaimed, "Even if Barcelona comes, it will not be a good idea."

Chu Zhongtian was elected the best player in this game. He was scored 1:5 points by "Kickers" magazine after the game. The most authoritative football media in Germany commented on Chu Zhongtian's performance in this game: "If he could be like the second half in the first half, we would give him 0:5 points. Despite this, he still showed super abilities in the second half. His insight into the game situation is very accurate. Every pass he made seems to be able to tear through Bayern Munich's defense line. He is Bayern Munich's most troublesome opponent. He can not only pass the ball to assist his teammates, but also score the goal himself to solve the problem. Rangnick's transformation was very successful. He is no longer the player who can only contribute to the team. He is heading towards the whole thing.

Moving forward with the goal of development... We noticed a detail. In the game, Van Gaal replaced the captain Van Bomel who faced Chu Zhongtian. Obviously, he thought Van Bomel could not compete with Chu. This is the case. In the game, Van Bomel was completely at a disadvantage. In Germany, it is difficult to find someone who can curb Chu Zhongtian. Maybe someone who can curb him in the European arena. Hoffenheim is about to participate in the Champions League this season. We can take a look at the performance of this team and Chu Zhongtian in the European arena. Some teams were able to win the German domestic league before, but once they arrived at the Champions League, they always seemed too young. I hope Hoffenheim would not do this, although the possibility is very high... "

Chu Zhongtian's evaluation is the longest, which shows how much the media value him.

Chu Zhongtian himself also felt that his performance was much better in the second half and he played too impatiently in the first half. He reflected on this issue and felt that he was still not mature enough to truly be in a state of fear of honor and disgrace. The misjudgment in the first half affected him and left him full of the ball. As a result, the team also played in a mess with him.

After 15 minutes of calmness during the half-time break and criticism from head coach Rangnick, he also realized this problem, and then kept his mind calm in the second half, and the game was much smoother.

Another important reason for his outstanding performance is that there is an additional "bodyguard" around him. He and Sana have never partnered with each other before, but excellent players always have something in common that can make them feel at ease on the court.

Sana has a good protection for him. After intercepting the ball, he quickly returned the football to him without wasting time. This feels much better than last season when he has to attack and defend both himself, protecting his own defense line and rushing up to support the offense. Last season, he was exhausted and organized the offense intermittently and unable to truly control the rhythm. It was not until the end of the season that Rangnick returned to 442 and asked Weiss to be his partner, and he found that he felt that way, but Weiss was just a cameo, and he still prefers to play on the right side, so that he can both defend and attack - his offensive level is still good.

So Sana is here.

As Hoffenheim's last signing this summer, Sana performed well in the game. He was scored 2:5 by the media. This score was probably the best in the game in other games. Unfortunately, he has a 1:5-pointer Chu Zhongtian. The media's evaluation of him is that he is diligent in the defensive end, has a clear mind in the offense, knows how to deal with the ball, and never drags on it. His desperate momentum in the game has also received good reviews. The scene of him competing with Schweinsteiger despite the danger has made many media and fans accused of

He praised it endlessly. He believed that with such a brave but not reckless player, Hoffenheim's waist could be completely hard, and he would be much better than Gustavo who transferred to Twente... In fact, if you want to defend alone, Chu Zhongtian even surpassed Sana, but he could not devote all his energy to defense, which created the illusion of his defense. Sana could defend with peace of mind and put all his abilities into defense. Coupled with his tenacious fighting spirit and never give up, he was a defensive midfielder who could be at ease.

As their partners become more and more tacit, the power they can exert will become greater and greater.

The only thing to worry about is the card-eating situation of this midfield partner. Chu Zhongtian was suspended for a cumulative yellow card last season, and there was another red card. He received eight yellow cards and one red card throughout the season, and he won absolutely no fewer cards.

As for Sana, although he did not take cards in the first round of the league, people who are familiar with his football style believe that it will be a matter of time before he can take cards. He will get at least ten yellow cards in a season. In the Bundesliga, it means that it will be suspended twice in total.

With a complete lineup, Hoffenheim has the strength to compete for the Bundesliga championship, but their bench depth is not deep enough compared to giants like Bayern, let alone those European giants.

※※※A giants like Bayern Munich may be able to fight on multiple fronts, and Hoffenheim is definitely not good at the moment. They are not giants and cannot attract enough outstanding players to play. The strength gap between the second lineup and the first lineup is too big. So in Rangnick's mind, a decision must be made this season.

Win the Champions League?

Rangnick didn't even dare to think about this idea. In a few years, he might dare to dream like this, but now, his goal in the Champions League is to enter the knockout stage. The team's main goal is to be in China. As long as it can ensure that it can participate in the Champions League every year, Hoffenheim's attractiveness and competitiveness will be greatly improved. It will be much easier to attract outstanding players to join, and Hoffenheim's "big family dream" is not out of reach.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to compete for the league championship in China, you must fight for it, even if you give up the Champions League for this, you will be willing to do so.

After winning Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim is temporarily ranked first in the league standings because they are the only team to finish the game. This game is the opening game and the first to start. The other teams will not finish the game the next afternoon.

When the first round of the league was over, Hoffenheim's ranking fell to third, with Frankfurt and Wolfsburg ahead of them. Wolfsburg defeated Stuttgart 2:0 and ranked first among all the winning teams, while Frankfurt narrowly defeated Werder Bremen 3:2, squeezing Hoffenheim out of his goal and temporarily ranked second.

A week later, the second round began in full swing. Hoffenheim was still the first game in the second round. They challenged Leverkusen away and finally defeated Leverkusen 2-0. Ibisekic scored his first goal of the season with Chu Zhongtian constantly assisting him.

After scoring the goal, Chu Zhongtian hugged him enthusiastically. Ibisekic also thanked Chu Zhongtian for assisting him, slapped Chu Zhongtian's back hard and shouted in his ear: "Thank you, Chu!"

"You deserve it, Ibi." Chu Zhongtian said, touching his head.

"Ibissevic, who has been absent for three months, finally scored a goal! This is his first goal this season. Will he continue his crazy performance in the first half of last season? It's really exciting!"

Everyone still remembers Ibissevic's terrifying goal efficiency in the first half of last season, 19 goals in the 16 rounds, what does this mean? If Ibissevic can really find such a goal state, then it is not impossible for Hoffenheim to sweep Europe... With ten minutes left in the game, Van Nystruei, the biggest star who joined the team this summer, finally came on as a substitute. After he came on the court, he got a chance, but the shot was too straight and was saved by goalkeeper Adler. No one criticized Van Nystruei for wasting the opportunity, because at this time Hoffenheim had already led 2:0 and the victory was decided. The second goal was scored by Ibissevic, and the first goal was Salihovic's direct free kick.

In the end, Hoffenheim relied on the goals of these two Bosnian and Herzegovina stars to defeat the strong opponent Leverkusen 2:0 away.

He won two consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, and Hoffenheim was stronger than last season's start. Although he also won two consecutive victories last season, his opponents' grades were obviously different. The two opponents who started the Hoffenheim League last season were Cottbus and Borussia Mönchengladbach, while those who started the two rounds of the league this season were Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.

Next, Hoffenheim will play Schalke 04, which is also a tough battle. Bayern Munich wants to take revenge, Schalke 04's hatred is probably even greater, because they lost to Hoffenheim in the last round of the league, and they did not even get involved in the Europa League, or the previous League Cup.

At the beginning of the season, after the schedule came out, the media said that it was finally time to test the quality of Hoffenheim's championship. The league started three rounds, against Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Schalke 04 respectively. If Hoffenheim cannot get points in the fight with three strong teams, it means they were just lucky last season, and it would be better to be pragmatic this season.

Unexpectedly, two of the three touchstones were tried out with six points. The media exclaimed, "The time for Hoffenheim to rise has come!" "The Bundesliga is finally going to break the situation where Bayern Munich dominates!"

Hoffenheim, who won two consecutive victories and scored six points, ranks second in the standings, while Wolfsburg, who had the same six points, ranked first with his goal difference advantage. The two teams that competed for the championship last season continue to compete this season.

※※※Hoffenheim continued to take the lead on August 21st. The first game of the third round of the Bundesliga was when they faced Schalke 04 at home. The German premiere TV station used their game as a live broadcast against the country in three consecutive games.

When the enemy met, they were particularly jealous. The two sides entered a fierce confrontation from the first minute of the game.

Before the game, Schalke media shouted the slogan of "revenge", which is not just the team's revenge. Last season, Magath, who led Wolfsburg to Hoffenheim in the championship competition, came to Schalke 04, which is also his personal revenge. In Wolfsburg, he did not win Hoffenheim, and in Schalke 04, he must win.

So this game is full of highlights, and China also broadcasts it live.

Just six minutes into the opening game, Schalke 04 fouled Chu Zhongtian who took the ball and gave Hoffenheim a frontcourt free kick. Salihovic's free kick hit the wall and bounced out. Hoffenheim's players protested to the referee that the opponent's wall was too far ahead. The referee did not signal to resell, but just let the game continue.

Then in the 16th minute, Schalke 04's midfielder Puliatsikas tackled Kolarov who assisted in the forward near the corner flag area, and he received a yellow card. This foul also ignited the anger of both sides in this game.

In the 22nd minute, Ibisekic was pulled down at the front of the penalty area, and Eduardo's free kick was blocked by a wall.

In the 27th minute, Sana stumbled on Mineiro in the midfield and received a yellow card. He finally showed his brave side in the midfield.

Three minutes later, Carlos_zambrano (carlos_zambrano) retaliated and fierce tackle and tackled Obasi, which resulted in a yellow card for him.

In the 36th minute, Salihovic tackled Falfan in the middle and received a yellow card... In the whole first half, the players on both sides were tackled and shoveled. They were all professional players, with rich experience in this area and fell down as soon as they touched it. The game could hardly go smoothly and was always interrupted by the sound of whistles.

So it would be normal for everyone to play 0:0 in the first half.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Just three minutes into the game, Ibissevic received a direct pass from Chu Zhongtian and broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Bordong. Everyone thought it would be a penalty kick, but the referee was indifferent. This caused the booing of Hoffenheim fans in the stands. Ibissevic also jumped up and ran to the referee to indicate that he had indeed been tripped.

The referee did not change his penalty, and Hoffenheim missed this penalty opportunity.

In the subsequent games, Hoffenheim's performance was much more normal than when he met Bayern Munich. They did not get involved in this penalty kick, but continued to attack. As Hoffenheim won consecutive shooting opportunities, the game gradually fell into Hoffenheim's rhythm.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Magath quickly made adjustments and put on a defensive posture - he was also very content to get a point away. As for revenge, it was fabricated by the media themselves, so he was not so stupid. If he lost his calmness for the idea of ​​revenge and eventually lost this game, he was the biggest fool.

Schalke 04's defense is excellent. Last season, they were the team with the least goals conceded, so no matter how crazy Hoffenheim bombarded, they just didn't score goals and won't score points.

In the end, they shook hands with Schalke 04 at home, and neither side scored a goal. After the game, no one mentioned any "revenge". Rangnick questioned the referee's penalty, "Although the draw is good, if that penalty is counted, we should be able to win..."

After the three rounds of the league, Hoffenheim won two wins and one draw and scored seven points, temporarily ranked first in the league standings with one more game.

One day later, they fell to second again, first being occupied by Hamburg, they beat Wolfsburg 4:2 away, and in the second round they beat Dortmund 4:1, relying on the advantage of goal difference, they reached the top of the league with seven points.

The league has played three rounds, and the defending champion has not yet truly settled in the league first place, but Hoffenheim doesn't care about this. Their current attention is all on the group draws of the UEFA Champions League.

On the afternoon of August 26, the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony will be held in Monaco.

That was the moment that determined Hoffenheim's fate in the Champions League this season.
Chapter completed!
