Hoffenheim miraculously entered the Champions League final, which was the focus of major European sports media scrambling to report in the next week.

This is even more true in China.

Many media commented that Hoffenheim created a rural miracle.

A team that came out of the German countryside finally walked into the Champions League final and into the Wembley Stadium.

The small town of Sinsheim where the Hoffenheim team is located is full of joy, just like a festival. The town hall has already repaired the balcony this time, and if they win the championship, they can celebrate here.

But not many people dare to think about this.

Many Hoffenheim fans think that their goals for this season have been completed - Didn’t Chu say that their goal was Wembley before? So now that he has entered Wembley, isn’t he just achieving the goal?

Barcelona is too strong, and Hoffenheim cannot defeat them, so don’t think about the championship or something. The Champions League runner-up is also very glorious for this rural team.

The Catalan media cheered, and they all thought that Hoffenheim entered the final, which means that Barcelona had won the Champions League in advance, which would be their third championship in the new century, and a real dynasty is about to be established!

"...This Barcelona is invincible. Bayern Munich entered the final and only added some twists and turns to the final. Hoffenheim's appearance completely lost the suspense of the final. I am not belittled Hoffenheim. In fact, the teams that can reach the final are not weak, but they are indeed not on the same level as Barcelona."

Barcelona fans were ecstatic and were ready to celebrate the Champions League.

This season, Barcelona has a great hope to relive their dream of the triple-champion in the 2008-2009 season. In the Copa del Rey, they reached the final, and their opponent was Sevilla, which did not cause them much trouble. In the Champions League, they reached the final, and their opponent was the weakest Hoffenheim, and winning the championship was no problem. The only trouble is that in the league, Real Madrid was two points away from them, but this was just a small obstacle. On April 17th, the country

In the second leg of the home derby, Barcelona tied Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, and Real Madrid lost the best chance to catch up. Although they are still chewing Barcelona, ​​after Barcelona tied Real Madrid away, everyone knows that no one can stop them. Guardiola's team is indeed very, very strong. Mourinho's team has only been established for a year and needs to be adjusted in several teams, which are not even equipped with personnel, cannot compete with them.

After a season, Barcelona fans will be happy to see if they think about such a bright future.

"In the future, European football will belong to Barcelona! It belongs to Dream Team 2!"

After Barcelona's godfather Cruyff also wrote in the media that Guardiola will lead the team to create history - two of the three seasons were the triple crown, what is this glory that is enough to be recorded in history? Manchester United became the triple crown in 1999, which made this team the most famous team in the world. Wouldn't Barcelona's two triple crowns in three years be the world's invincible?

"...This will surely be a victory for artistic football, offensive football, and beautiful football! It is the purest victory for football!" Cruyff's article was filled with praise for Guardiola and Barcelona.

Barcelona fans all believe that the powerful "Dream II" will defeat Hoffenheim as easily as killing an ant.

※※※Hoffenheim fans also think so. The only difference is that they don’t think they are ants, and the result is the same, that is, they can’t win Barcelona.

The fans think so, and the players also have this idea.

After reaching the finals, the whole Hoffenheim team had a party for one night that night, and the next day, Rangnick had a long vacation for the first time to let the players have a good rest.

Everyone's nerves were finally relieved after a season of tension. There was no hope for the league championship, but it was a very amazing result to reach the Champions League final, which was even more brilliant than the league championship. They could indeed start celebrating.

In order to give the main players who have been tired for a season to rest, Rangnick did not send the main players in the penultimate round of the league. He originally wanted to put Chu Zhongtian on the bench, but Chu Zhongtian firmly opposed it and must play. Considering that his physical fitness and physical condition were fine, Rangnick agreed.

The entry into the final allowed the whole Hoffenheim team to relax. The penultimate round of away games against Nuremberg, the team played very relaxed. In the end, they lost 1:2 away.

The team's only goal was scored by Chu Zhongtian in the corner kick. He was substituted in the 80th minute, and the score was 1:1. Rangnick thought it would be nice to win a draw away. Unexpectedly, not long after he replaced Chu Zhongtian, Nuremberg scored in the 84th minute.

The league's defeat caused Hoffenheim to fall from second in the league to third in the league, Bayern Munich completed the surpass, and they ranked second in the league. Although they could no longer win the league championship, the glory of the Bundesliga overlords made them unable to accept the fate of playing the playoffs to participate in the Champions League. Although both the second and third in the league can participate in the Champions League, the meaning is completely different.

Bayern Munich has lost the Champions League, and the league is crucial to them. However, after winning the ticket to the Champions League final, Hoffenheim is a little uneasy about the league. Their mind has completely flown to Wembley. From now on, there are nearly twenty days left in the Champions League final, they can't wait to fantasize about what it feels like to play football at Wembley Stadium.

Chu Zhongtian saw this kind of emotion within the team. It would not be a good thing if he lets this emotion spread. Although the goal he said was Wembley, since he has reached the finals, why not just win the championship?

Like him, Rangnick is also worried about the team's situation. From the last round of the league, he could feel that the team's current mind is not in the league. Although he had a rotation, the substitute players should be more pursuing the league and should be more active in the game. But what he saw was not like this. So he felt that the draw was acceptable, because judging from the performance of the players in the game, it was too difficult to defeat Nuremberg away.

The players are full of longing for the finals, but it is not because they are eager to win the championship. If this is true, then it would be fine if they give up the league. But they just regard going to Wembley as a visit, and everything will be fine for them to reach the finals.

He decided to take time to tell the team members.

※※※Chu Zhongtian rushed in front of Rangnick.

He held an in-team meeting in the name of the captain, and everyone must attend. The time is set after the training.

At the meeting, he asked his teammates straight to the point: "Do you think that entering the finals is a task? Can we relax and enjoy the Wembley trip?"

Everyone is not a fool, they all know what Chu Zhongtian meant.

Weiss stood up and said, "Chu, but Barcelona is too powerful, we can't beat them."

"How can you know if you don't try?" Chu Zhongtian looked at him and asked.

"Uh..." Weiss had nothing to say about such a rhetorical question.

Chu Zhongtian let Weis go and turned to everyone: "Before we won the Bundesliga championship, many people thought we would definitely not win this championship. We kept promoting the Zebra and wanted to win the championship? The Kaiserslautern Miracle will only be once. But we did it, and we won the Bundesliga championship prize as the promoted team."

"When we said we were going to reach the Champions League final, many people thought it was a fantasy. Now?" He spread his hands and asked everyone.

"Since we appeared in the Bundesliga as a newly promoted team, we have been a team that is used to being shocking. If that's the case, why do you think we can't beat Barcelona?"

"Yes, Barcelona is very powerful and almost invincible. But be careful, it is 'almost'. There will never be truly invincible teams in this world. They will always lose. Maybe they are in the Champions League final?" Chu Zhongtian's statement was a bit bold, but no one has made any doubts so far.

"I admit that Barcelona is strong and will not arrogantly think that we will definitely defeat this team. But there is always a chance, even if it is a chance of 0.001%. If I don't try, then we will never defeat Barcelona, ​​which is a 100% loss. As long as we try, there will be a chance. Since we have reached the final, why not try it? If we try it, we will not die. Even if we lose, we will lose without any loss, because we are weaker than them, and it is already good to be able to reach the final. But if we win..." He paused and looked around his teammates. "We made money!" He clenched his fists, like a gambler.

"This is a business that is cost-effective, brothers! Is there anything better in the world than this? If we win, the European Championship! Brothers, think about it, what kind of glory is that? We will write this line on our personal resumes - '2010-2011 Champions League Champions League'! Does anyone not like this?"

"No one, Chu!" Ibisevic responded loudly, and everyone turned to look at him. He said to his teammates who looked at him, "Why, don't you like it?"

Everyone shook their heads: "I like it, I like it so much."

"Of course I like the title of European champion, but it's not easy to win this..." Simonic frowned. He is older, not so impulsive, and more calm.

"Of course it's not easy. But think about how easy it is for us to go along the way? Is it easy to compete with Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 and Wolfsburg for the league championship? Is it easy to win from the Death Group to the Champions League final?" Chu Zhongtian said. "It's not easy. But we still came out. So it's not a problem to be easy. The question is whether we want to try it?"

"How many teams want to enter the Champions League finals and can't even get into it. Have you seen the tears of those Bayern players after our match against Bayern Munich? We are lucky, so why do we squander this luck? We eliminated so many teams along the way, but just to play ninety minutes at Wembley and then go home. What will the teams that we eliminated think? 'If I were them, I would definitely cherish this hard-won opportunity!' Yes, we have no reason to give up the power to compete for the championship before the game!"

Finally, Chu Zhongtian said: "I play football to win, not to lose. Even when facing Barcelona!"

※※※Rangnick originally planned to have a good talk to the players and tell them the importance and seriousness of the Champions League final. But he soon discovered that the players' attitudes in training had a significant change. In the previous training, everyone was very relaxed, or relaxed, with a relaxed mentality of completing the task. Now, it is the tension before the war is approaching, and everyone is very serious and hardworking. They have a clear goal, which is very exciting.

Rangnick knew that this must be Chu Zhongtian's masterpiece. He is the leader of the team's locker room. Everyone listened to him. He is the only one who can change the mentality of the whole team.

During the routine communication before training, he confirmed his guess. Chu Zhongtian also confirmed whether the head coach was on the same mind as him.

The results of the exchanges are remarkable, and this team is indeed on the right path.

The change in mentality will be very obvious when it comes to the football field.

On May 14, in the last round of the league, Hoffenheim played against Wolfsburg at home.

There is no suspense about winning the championship in this round of the league, and Dortmund has long won the championship ahead of schedule. The suspense is only in the battle for relegation battle and the European qualifications.

Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich are only one point apart. If Bayern Munich loses and Hoffenheim wins, they will return to the second place in the league and be qualified to directly participate in the Champions League next season.

Bayern Munich also played at home in the last round. Their opponent is Stuttgart, and Bayern Munich is unlikely to lose.

In their respective matches, Bayern Munich scored the first goal, and they took the lead in the 13th minute. Mario Gomez scored the goal. He continued to top the scorer list, with 24 goals.

Behind him was Frankfurt's Greek striker Gercas, who scored twenty goals.

Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic are tied for fifth place in the scorer list. Their goals are the same, with 18. Chu Zhongtian rose to 18 after scoring the last round against Nuremberg. Before that, Ibisevic was the team's number one scorer.

At the end of the first half, Hoffenheim also took the lead. The goal was Obasi, and Chu Zhongtian assisted him. Gomez was the best in the scorer list, and Chu Zhongtian's position was unshakable in the assist list. He has already had fifteen assists this season. It is only one away from his sixteen assists last season.

Bayern Munich also scored the goal after Hoffenheim scored, with Ribery scoring his seventh goal this season.

Bayern Munich's victory is already irreversible.

It seems that hope is very slim to regain the second place in the league.

After the start of the second half, Stuttgart scored a goal, but in terms of the scene, Bayern Munich still had the advantage.

Hoffenheim also scored a goal.

In the 61st minute, after a series of wonderful passes and cooperation, Hoffenheim scored from Chu Zhongtian in front of the goal, expanding the score for the team, 2:0!

And he himself scored his 19th goal of the season!

This is the season with the most goals in his career. This season he has improved his desire and accuracy to shoot, and the number of goals has increased significantly. Including the goals in the German Cup and Champions League, he has scored 30 goals this season, including nine in the Champions League, nine in the league, and two in the German Cup. If the national team's goals are included, there will be as many as 35, which is a season with a great harvest.

A new generation of free men who can attack and retreat can defend, can organize their own attacks and score points by themselves, has taken shape!

Wolfsburg then scored a goal, but the situation was over, and the pace of the game was firmly controlled by Hoffenheim led by Chu Zhongtian.

Considering that after the end of this league, there will be no matches of sufficient level until the Champions League final, Rangnick began to let others play and maintain the game.

Van Nystruey was replaced in the 75th minute.

This was his last game at Rhine-Neca Stadium. Rangnick gave him 15 minutes of farewell time. He played for two years at Hoffenheim, although the number of goals was not many, it was very important. He scored Hoffenheim's first goal in Champions League history, and just this goal was enough to be recorded in the team's history.

After seeing Van Nistruei on the court, Hoffenheim's teammates also consciously passed the football to him and helped him score. He played for two seasons at Hoffenheim and has scored a total of nineteen league goals so far, just one short of twenty.

In the 87th minute, Chu Zhongtian stabbed the football out of the cracks before losing his center of gravity under the clamping of three Wolfsburg players, and just fell to Van Nystruei's feet. He turned around and entered the penalty area, then shot! The football flew into the goal from the goalkeeper's armpit, 3:1! Hoffenheim secured the victory, and Van Nystruei used his 20th league goal to bid farewell to the Rhine-Neka Stadium and bid farewell to Hoffenheim fans.

The whole stadium was shouting Van Nistrui's name. After the goal, Van Nistrui hugged Chu Zhongtian who assisted him, and then hugged other teammates. Then he frequently gave a blowing kiss to the stands to thank Hoffenheim fans.

Van Nystruei's goal helped Hoffenheim win the game. Although he did not win the second place in the league, he held the third place in the league and could continue to participate in the Champions League next season.

The Bundesliga has come to an end, and other teams have disbanded directly, and the players are going on vacation. Only Hoffenheim has to continue training and prepare for the Champions League final.

This is the highlight of this season.

So many games in the previous season were just a prelude and warm-up. Thirty-four league games and twelve Champions League games were just to bloom proudly at this moment and become the focus of attention of the whole world!
Chapter completed!
