Chapter 666 Champions League, we are back!

In early August, Bayern Munich played another warm-up match. The home team was a low-level league team in the surrounding areas, but the result was still a big win, but the team still allowed the opponent to score a goal, saving his face.

On August 10, the first official game of the new season was finally ushered in. In the first round of the German Cup, the opponent was Erfurt, the third-level league team, but this time Bayern Munich did not show any mercy and won the away game with a score of 7-0.

However, teams such as Werder Bremen and Mönchengladbach scored more than Bayern Munich, stealing the limelight.

A week after playing the German Cup, the first round of the Bundesliga was ushered in.

Because it was the opening match of the Bundesliga, before the game, the Allianz Stadium held a brief unveiling ceremony.

As the best coach of the Bundesliga last season and the best player of the season, Gao Han and Frank Ribery walked into the Allianz Stadium side by side, and were thundered by 60,000 Munich fans in the game, especially when the team's chief and deputy captains Ram and Schweinsteiger walked into the venue with the championship sandbox and walked between Gao Han and Ribery, the fans shouted the championship.

The whole scene was extremely inspiring, and everyone felt Bayern Munich's ambitions.

In the game, Bayern Munich, who played at home, also acted very aggressively.

For Hamburg, this game was obviously very out of place because they just lost two tiger players.

One is the core midfielder Van der Fate. The Dutch midfielder finally chose to join Real Madrid, which made Hamburg a little passive and is actively signing players in the transfer market to find people.

The other is Vicente Kompani, the main defender.

Before the summer training camp, the Belgian central defender had a very unhappy relationship with Hamburg team in order to represent the national team in the Beijing Olympics. Hamburg did not want him to go to Beijing, but he insisted on going there, and the two sides had a big fight about this.

Some media reported that many teams, including Manchester City and Chelsea, have begun to invite Kompany.

But no matter what the future holds, the absence of the two tiger players will make Hamburg's midfield and backcourt very unstable.

For this game, Gao Han specially sent someone to spy on the situation of the Hamburg team's warm-up match, and finally formulated a tactical strategy to attack after the start, and took advantage of the home court advantage to defeat Hamburg in one fell swoop.

Hamburg obviously also expected Bayern Munich's strategy, with the start of the game focusing on defending.

But it turns out that they only lasted for ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, Gao Han saw that Hamburg's defense was loose, and immediately used the skill card, and the team launched a large attack.

In the 12th minute, Ram threw a free kick, Modric got the ball from the right, got rid of the defensive player and passed the penalty area, but the opponent's defender Ma Tyson headed the ball, but Schweinsteiger, who followed in the middle, shot directly, kicking the first record for Bayern Munich.

This is also the first goal in the Bundesliga this season.

This goal completely ignited the fanatic atmosphere of the Allianz Stadium.

On the court, Bayern Munich continued to strengthen its offensive.

Soon, in the 17th minute, Robben dribbled the ball into the right and was pushed down by the opponent's player Ma Tyson. The referee directly awarded a free kick and showed a yellow card.

Ribery took the free kick but hit the wall. Robben seized the opportunity and followed up and won another goal for Bayern Munich, 2-0.

After scoring two goals in a row, although Bayern Munich slowed down its offensive, it still firmly controlled the situation on the court.

After stabilizing its position, Hamburg intended to counterattack, but was soon defeated by Bayern Munich.

This was after Vidal intercepted the ball in the middle and handed it to Modric. The latter made a precise pass and tore open the Hamburg defense line. Klose inserted it and easily pushed the ball into the goal, three to zero.

Within half an hour, Bayern Munich led by three goals almost ahead of schedule.

Hamburg's Dutch head coach Martin Yoll even made a crazy move, replacing a defender with a striker and playing three defenders instead, as if he wanted to give it a try and fight Bayern Munich to the death.

The two sides did play hard to distinguish in the last ten minutes of the first half, but in the second half, Bayern Munich quickly regained the situation.

In the 55th minute, Schweinsteiger passed a long pass. After Ribery quickly cut into the penalty area from the left, he stopped the ball with his chest and without waiting for the ball to land, he shot with his right foot, which was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Rost. However, at the critical moment, Robben on the right followed and shot the empty goal with his left foot, making a four-to-zero shot.

This goal completely dispelled the morale of Hamburg's counterattack, and Martin Yoll had to make another substitution, winning a forward and replacing a midfielder to further strengthen the defense.

After that, Bayern Munich did not continue to increase the offensive, and the remaining game time was spent among substitutions.

In the end, the Bundesliga giants defeated Hamburg 4-0 at Allianz Stadium and won the first victory of the new season, which disappointed countless fans who were eagerly looking forward to capsizing in the gutter of Bayern Munich.

The 4-to-zero burger won the applause of Bayern Munich.

But it only lasted for one day.

Because, in the Bundesliga schedule the next day, Hoffenheim surprised everyone and completely showed the potential of a dark horse.

Rangnick's team lined up a traditional 442 formation in the away game against Cottbus, and players such as Gustavo and Baker introduced this summer all appeared.

As a result, Hoffenheim defeated Cottbus away with the outstanding performance of two strikers.

Ibisevic shots and one pass, and Dembaba made one pass and one shot, which attracted a lot of attention.

If fans were suspicious of Hoffenheim's dark horse before the game, then they were completely dispelled now.

Head coach Rangnick also said confidently at the post-match press conference that the team entered the Bundesliga not to relegate, but to get a better ranking.

As it turns out, Hoffenheim does have such strength.

A week later, in the second round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim played against Mönchengladbach at home.

Both of them were newly promoted players, Borussia Mönchengladbach lost to Stuttgart 1-3 at home in the first round. They didn't dare to be careless against Hoffenheim in this round. Although Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Hoffenheim to win the league championship last season in the Bundesliga, they were at a disadvantage in the two rounds of the match against Hoffenheim.

A 0-0 draw at home and a 2-4 away game.

And this time, they returned with hatred again. Ibisekic scored in the 31st minute and helped Hoffenheim defeat Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-0 and won two consecutive victories.

After two rounds of the Bundesliga in the new season, except Hoffenheim, only Bayern Munich won two consecutive victories.

The Bundesliga Giants beat Dortmund 2-0 away.

This is also the two encounters with Klopp in a month. This time, the answer given by the German young coach made Gao Han more satisfied because he arranged the young player Shahin in the midfield, which made Dortmund's midfield look more organized.

Robben scored a goal at West** Stadium, which made him scored three goals, tied for the first place in the scorer list with Hoffenheim's Ibisevic, and Ribery scored another goal.

The two consecutive victories caught up with Bayern Munich, which made the newly promoted Hoffenheim win all the attention. Some media even began to hype Hoffenheim's dark horse potential, believing that they have the ability to subvert Gao Han and Bayern Munich.

But Gao Han just smiled at such remarks and did not refute them.

But at the pre-match press conference against Hertha Berlin at the third round of home games, he said in an interview with Photo News that what Hoffenheim needs most is stability, and there is no way to see anything at all when the two consecutive wins are.

The media criticized Gao Han's comments, believing that he was afraid of Hoffenheim.

But facts prove that Gao Han’s judgment was correct.

After two consecutive victories, Hoffenheim finally faced a challenge, challenging pharmaceutical manufacturer Leverkusen away.

As a traditional Bundesliga giant, Leverkusen is obviously more experienced and has better strength. Facing the aggressive Hoffenheim at home, they scored two goals in just 17 minutes of the game, which taught Hoffenheim a good lesson.

But Hoffenheim is not a fuel-saving lamp. Ibisevic scored a goal in the 20th minute and changed the score to one-to-two, which rekindled Hoffenheim's hope.

But in the 36th minute, Kislin's goal once again expanded the score to 3-1.

After the side change in the second half, Rangnick decisively made a midfield substitution, which improved the offensive in the second half.

In the 58th minute, Ibisevic assisted his teammate Salihovic to score a goal, 2-3.

Leverkusen head coach Labadia coached in the Bundesliga last season. He was very familiar with Hoffenheim, calmly adjusted and kept the score of 3-2 to the final stage. Then he suddenly made a substitution and adjusted 80 minutes later.

As a result, Leverkusen scored two goals in the 83rd and 87th minutes, and finally defeated Hoffenheim five-two.

It can be said that this game fully exposed Hoffenheim's problems and made everyone clearly see the weakness of this dark horse team.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich steadily defeated Hertha Berlin 4-0 at home, winning three consecutive victories.

After this round, Bayern Munich led the Bundesliga standings with three consecutive victories, Schalke zero four, Hamburg and Dortmund all scored seven points, followed closely behind, with Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Hoffenheim all scored six points.

Especially Hoffenheim, he fell directly from the second place in the league to the seventh place in the league, and this fall was awful enough.

After the third round of the Bundesliga, the national team will usher in a break period, but Bayern Munich did not disband, but led the team to Monaco by Gao Han to prepare for the upcoming European Super Cup.

The League Cup Triple Crown vs. the Champions League Triple Crown, this is undoubtedly the most eye-catching peak showdown in the new season.

Especially the master-apprentice showdown between Gao Han and Guardiola is even more eye-catching.

According to the general view of European media, looking at the entire European football world, if the team that has the most hope of defeating Gao Han must be Guardiola's Barcelona.

But before the high-profile Super Cup, the annual UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony was held at the Grimalti Convention Center in Monaco.

Interestingly, because of the poor performance in the European competition over the past years, after returning to the Champions League this season, Bayern Munich only won the second place, which immediately made the giant teams in the European football world feel sad.

Everyone knows that whoever hits the high-altitude Bayern Munich is equivalent to killing himself. Therefore, the eight seed teams in the first tier are very depressed, and no one wants to meet Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid was also drawn in the second-tier team. This giant team also had a series of unfavorable European competitions, ending in the quarterfinals every year, and was eventually squeezed out of the first-tier by Ligue 1 Lyon.

Therefore, before the Champions League group draw, the formation of death was to linger on the shadows above all the first-class seed teams.

On the contrary, Gao Han, when the team arrived in Monaco, he accepted an official interview with UEFA according to the process, and smiled and said that he didn't mind drawing any team.
