Chapter 18 Against Galatasaray

Three to zero, Hoffenheim beat Blackburn, who was seventh in the Premier League last season. Hoffenheim fans were very excited at the scene. They were very optimistic about Hoffenheim's prospects and were more confident in the upcoming Bundesliga.

Blackburn was all very surprised. They didn't react until this time. Why did they lose to a country team? By this time, they couldn't even think of how they lost?

Blackburn didn't stay here for too long. They had no face to stay here, and they all left here in shame. At this time, they still did not have the arrogance at the beginning of the game, and were in shame.

Hoffenheim performed very well in this game, and Hoffenheim fans were very excited. They were full of longing for Hoffenheim's Bundesliga, but the German media did not express any statement. It can be said that there are not many media and fans paying attention to Hoffenheim so far, and they don't take Hoffenheim to heart, although there is a European Cup golden boot Gong Zheng in their team.

Without the attention and discussion from the outside media, Ralph Rangnick was relaxed and also gave Hoffenheim a training environment. This is indeed a good thing for Hoffenheim's preparations. Without pressure, Hoffenheim's recent training has been very good and the results are very good.

After the game with Blackburn, Hoffenheim also played a friendly match, with Rostock's opponent. In this game, Rostock did not cause any trouble for Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim defeated his opponent 2-0. This game was a away game. Gong Zheng also participated in the game with the captain's armband. Gong Zheng scored a goal, and the other goal was scored by Vedad Ibisevic.

Hoffenheim's recent warm-up match results are quite good, which makes Hoffenheim's team more optimistic about Hoffenheim's Bundesliga prospects. They are already looking forward to the opening of the Bundesliga, and they can't wait.

However, at this time, Hoffenheim Club ushered in their last pre-match warm-up match of the season.

This time his opponent is stronger than Blackburn and is Galatasaray, the champion of the Turkish Premier League last season.

Galatasaray Football Club is a sports club located in Istanbul, Turkey. It is famous for its football department. It was founded in 1905 by alisamiyen and his companions on the famous Galatasaray Highschool. It has won 15 top league titles so far and won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup in 2000. Galatasaray is an internationally renowned Turkish team. Its fanatical home fans make their opponents even more terrifying. It often displays giant flags on the court to welcome opponents to "hell".

Galatasaray is the first Turkish team to win the European Championship, and is one of the two teams to win the UEFA Cup with undefeated results. The other team is Ajax, and the first team to win the UEFA Cup in the Europa League group stage. Galatasaray has a world record of 24 domestic league winning streaks (from May 13, 2001 to December 8, 2002).

This is much stronger than Blackburn's team. This is a UEFA Champions League level team. This strength is much stronger than Blackburn's quasi-European team. This is a test for Hoffenheim, which makes Hoffenheim fans a little nervous and expectant. After all, this is the first time Hoffenheim has played such a capable player.

Turkish football and German football have always had a connection. Because there are many Turkish immigrants in Germany, many Turkish players play in Germany, and some German players go to the Turkish League to make gold. Basturk, the core player of the Turkish national team, is a Turkish born in Germany. When he joined the Turkish national team, he couldn't even speak Turkish.

Of course, there are also Turks in Germany who join the German national team. During this European Cup, when the German national team and the Turkish national team were in the semi-finals, many Turks immigrated to Germany cheered for the Turkish national team.

This game can accommodate 27,000 Karl Mercedes-Benz Stadium, 18,200 people, all of them are Hoffenheim fans. This number is the same as the number of season tickets they sold. Basically, this number is the entire audience of Hoffenheim in the new season. Of course, if they have excellent results and beautiful playing style, they can continue to attract fans from surrounding areas to watch the game. Because only Hoffenheim is the Bundesliga team in Mannheim, Sinsheim and other places.

Baden Württemberg has several teams with a reputation outside: Stuttgart, located in the state capital, Karlsruhe, who once trained Kahn, and Freiburg Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim is the upstart of the season, but their fame is far less than the first three. There are three teams participating in the Bundesliga this season: Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Hoffenheim. Freiburg is still in the Bundesliga second and is also a regular visitor to the Bundesliga second.

In today's game, Ralph Rangnick did not dare to neglect, and sent out the strongest lineup of Hoffenheim in his mind, the main goalkeeper Daniel Haas, and the four defenders were Andreas Ibertsberger, Ishaq Wolsa, Marvin Compare and Andreas Baker.

The four midfielder is Luis Gustavo, the Serbian Salihovic on the left, Tobias Weiss on the right, and Carlos Eduardo on the front.

The two on the forward line are Gong Zheng and Denba.

This game was the second time that Gong Zheng appeared with the captain's armband. Hoffenheim fans showed surprise expressions. Last time, Hoffenheim fans saw Gong Zheng appear with the captain's armband. At that time, they thought it was just a gimmick. They thought it was what Hoffenheim did to please the fans.

They really didn't expect that Gong Zheng would become the captain of Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim was shocked. Could it be that Gong Zheng really became the captain of the team? Gong Zheng is very capable, but he is too young. Is he suitable to be the captain?

Hoffenheim fans suddenly became nervous, but after they thought carefully about the last game, Hoffenheim performed very well after Gong Zheng brought the captain's armband in the game. If he had always performed this way in Hoffenheim, it would be reasonable for him to be the captain.

Galatasaray is a wealthy family in Türkiye, and there are many Turkish international players in their team, so Gong Zheng has met many acquaintances.

Like Emre, Ashke, Hassan, Saas and others have participated in the European Cup. Although they did not fight with Gong Zheng, these guys are still somewhat powerful. When Gong Zheng played against the Turkish national team, the opponent's strength was quite strong, so he did not dare to underestimate Galatasaray.

Before the game, Gong Zheng told Hoffenheim's teammates that the Turkish tenacity and strength made Hoffenheim's teammates keep their heart. However, after the game began, Galatasaray's madness still made Hoffenheim unable to withstand it.

Just ten minutes into the game, Hoffenheim conceded a goal and was beaten by the Turkish Super League champion last season. The old central defender Emre_asik, who participated in this summer's European Cup, received a pass from Hasan_sas, and scored a header.

Galatasaray leads!

This surprised Hoffenheim fans and players. They did not expect Galatasaray to be so fierce and break through Hoffenheim's goal so quickly.

After falling behind with one goal, Ralph Rangnick immediately signaled the Hoffenheim players to attack and attack wildly.

Galatasaray's Hassan Sasse took the ball in the middle, but Hoffenheim's Luis Gustavo rushed up frantically. Hassan Sasse obviously didn't expect Louis Gustavo to pounce so quickly, so the ball was quickly cut off by Louis Gustavo. Luis Gustavo directly passed the ball to Salihovic on the wing. Hoffenheim's offense was basically launched from him, so Galatasaray's defense was obviously off to the right. So, Tobias Weiss on the right was obviously empty.

As soon as he received the ball, Salihovic quickly passed the ball to Tobias Weiss Galatasaray on the right and was shocked when he saw the ball flying quickly to the left. They did not expect that Salihovic, who had been leading the attack, would directly transfer the ball to the other side. Moreover, there was still a large gap on that side, and their defensive center of gravity immediately moved to the left.

However, at this time, Tobias Weiss had already caught the ball and rushed forward, and Dembaba and Gong Zheng both rushed forward frantically. Only Salihovic on the left retreated, and Andreas Baker also caught up to cooperate with Salihovic.

Although Hoffenheim still attacked wildly after falling behind, even the full-back rushed up wildly. It can be seen that Hoffenheim still hopes to win this game.

The gap between the middle and right sides appeared. Tobias Weiss took the ball and rushed on the right side, and did not take Galatasaray's players to heart. By this time, Galatasaray's players were indeed unable to keep up with Tobias Weiss' rhythm, because Tobias Weiss took the lead, and Salihovic's sudden transfer made it difficult for the opponent to defend.

But the players of Galatasaray are still chasing back crazily. They are Turks. They will not give up easily. They chase back crazily, very crazy.

Tobias Weiss went downstairs and shook Galatasaray's full-back who was rushing up, and then Tobias Weiss immediately took the ball into the penalty area. In the penalty area, Gong Zheng and Dembaba took off at the same time, and Galatasaray's defenders were also interfering with each other. However, the one who got the ball was still Hoffenheim's players.

Demba Ba, who was in front of him, suddenly took a step forward, jumped high, and headed. Although Demba Ba's heading ability is not as good as Gong Zheng, for ordinary players, Demba Ba's heading is still very good. And this time, he felt that he was eating very accurately. He felt that this ball was definitely there.

Gong Zheng in the middle lane fell to the ground steadily, staring at the ball with his eyes tightly. Not only with him, but all the fans of the court were staring at the ball's flight trajectory. The ball flew towards the goal like lightning, and was about to fly over the goal line. At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out, and his fingertips moved the ball. The ball changed slightly and flew out of the baseline against the post.
