Although Ralph Rangnick has replaced most of Hoffenheim's main players, their young players performed very well and continued to put pressure on Galatasaray. Jonathan Streffler is the best among these kids. He even had a long shot, and a direct free kick threatened Galatasaray's goalkeeper Sanctis, and that direct free kick hit the crossbar of Galatasaray.

Although Galatasaray faces these young players from Hoffenheim, their performance is not very good. Hoffenheim's previous performance has hit their morale a lot, so in the end they are unable to change the score.[]

In the end, Hoffenheim defeated the Turkish giants Galatasaray, who has the Champions League qualification, with a score of 2-1 at his home court, which made Hoffenheim fans very excited, and at the same time, he was even more looking forward to the Bundesliga in the new season.

Hoffenheim ended all the warm-up matches before the new season with an unbeaten record. The team performed well in the warm-up matches, which made the fans full of confidence. Also full of confidence were the players.

Originally, I was inevitably a little nervous when I played in the Bundesliga for the first time. However, the continuous victory in the warm-up match made everyone's nervousness disappear a lot. Now they are a little impatient for the new season of the Bundesliga.

Before the league, they still have one more game to play.

On August 8, they will usher in the first official match of the new season - the first round of the German Cup against Chemnitz.

This day is far away from China and the Olympic Games will also kick off.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics officially opened on August 8th, but due to the jet lag, when Zhang Yimou carefully planned the opening ceremony of directors with a series of footprints and fireworks, the entire Hoffenheim team was preparing to go to Chemnitz's home court to play.

Germany is the East District 1, and Beijing, China is the East District 8, and the time difference between the two sides is seven hours. However, it is now in summer, and Germany implements the daylight saving time, and the time difference becomes six hours. When Beijing is 8 o'clock, Germany is 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Although the Beijing Olympics officially opened today, the football events of the Beijing Olympics have begun. However, Germany has not entered the final circle of the Beijing Olympics, so Gong Zheng and other national Olympic players have not participated in the Olympic football competitions.

But another Hoffenheim scorer, Obasi, is now playing Nigeria in Beijing, preparing to participate in the Olympic football match. He has been unable to train with the club team all summer. Fortunately, he is not a newcomer to Hoffenheim. In a team that has not changed much, it should not be difficult to adapt again.

In this game, Ralph Rangnick was not conservative and had a full lineup. He hoped to seize every opportunity to run-in before the league began. However, Hoffenheim did not know much about Chemnitz, a team from East Germany. Even Ralph Rangnick didn't know much about this team. He only knew that German star Michel Barack came from this team.

I don't know much about this team, and the opponent's strength is not very outstanding, so Hoffenheim's players do not attach much importance to this long game. However, Chemnitz attaches great importance to it. They retreated from the beginning of the game, as if they had set up a lineup without a striker.

Hoffenheim attacked wildly from the beginning, but it was difficult for Hoffenheim to have a chance when facing the opponent's retreat at all levels. Until the 77th minute, Hoffenheim organized a successful offensive. Gong Zheng divided the side, Demba Ba hit the ball in the left side after receiving the ball, and Carlos Eduardo stopped the ball in the middle and then left to the right side. Ibisek, who was unguarded, scored with his right foot push shot from the goalkeeper from the attacking team, scored with his only goal in the game. Hoffenheim defeated his opponent with a goal and won the first official game.

After this game, Hoffenheim will make every effort to prepare for the new Bundesliga. Their opponent in the first round of the league is Cottbus.

Chinese fans are still very familiar with Cottbus because there is a Chinese player Shao Jiayi in this team, and China's CCTV has been broadcasting the Bundesliga for nearly ten years, and it has trained countless Bundesliga fans in China.

Moreover, for Chinese fans, they usually stay up late when watching Bundesliga games. Basically, the Bundesliga games start from 9:00 to 1:00 in the evening, and they just go to bed after watching the game. So even if the Bundesliga now has no domineering status as it was at the beginning, there are still many fans in China watching Bundesliga games.

For the first leg of the Bundesliga in the 2008-2009 season, Chinese fans have more expectations, because in the first round of this season, there was a game that was very worthy of Chinese fans' expectations, with Cottbus playing against Hoffenheim.

This game was hyped up by Chinese sports media into a "China derby". Although Gong Zheng is now a German player, the blood in his body is the Yanhuang bloodline. The Chinese media also reported on Gong Zheng's family. This is a very traditional "Chinese" family. After moving to Germany, all of Gong Zheng's family was Chinese, and no one intermarried with foreigners. This is absolutely shocking.

So, they have reason to turn this game into a "China derby". However, since it is now during the Beijing Olympics, Chinese media really don't know whether to play the "China derby" in the Bundesliga or to report the Beijing Olympics in a comprehensive manner. This is really a difficult task.

Hoffenheim met Cottbus in the first round of the game. For the Germans, this is nothing strange. But for the Chinese, it can still be hyped up. Hoffenheim has Chu Zhongtian, Cottbus has Shao Jiayi, and two Chinese national teammates met in the first round of the Bundesliga, which made the Chinese media very interested.

On the other hand, the Olympics in Beijing are also a world-renowned sports event and the focus of the report. Therefore, it is really difficult to make a decision now.

And such a headache is also facing China Central Television. Should we fully broadcast the Beijing Olympics events, or should we bring the first round of the Bundesliga "China derby" to Bundesliga fans and football fans all over China?

The Beijing Olympics is a big deal for China. China Central Television has even sent out multiple channels to broadcast the Beijing Olympics competitions. If the Bundesliga is still embedded at this time, it will be really difficult to deal with.

At this time, Chinese fans were still very concerned about the Chinese Olympic team's game. In the first round, the Chinese Olympic team actually tied the group's weakest opponent New Zealand at the last moment of the game, which made fans all over China very dissatisfied. There were even neat shouts from the stands: "Xie Yalong, get out of class was dismissed!"

After the match against the Belgian national team, Chinese fans had a big explosion, and Chinese media also burst into anger. Posts declaring Xie Yalong could be seen everywhere on the Internet, and countless people scolding Xie Yalong for her.

Chinese media also began to make old accounts and condemn why Xie Yalong did not recruit Gong Zheng into the Chinese National Olympic Team at that time. Of course, they also knew that China did not allow dual nationality. If Gong Zheng wanted to be selected for the Chinese National Olympic Team, he had to give up German nationality.

It should be difficult to get Gong Zheng to give up his German nationality, so in fact, Gong Zheng was destined to miss the Chinese National Olympic Team. However, the Chinese media still attributed these responsibilities to Xie Yalong. After all, there were rumors that the Chinese Football Association asked Gong Zheng for money, which allowed Gong Zheng to be included in the roster of the Chinese National Olympic Team.

Therefore, Chinese media have pointed their finger at Xie Yalong. After all, Xie Yalong also got off the position of chairman of the Chinese Football Association (I have mentioned it before, so I won’t express it one by one here).

This indeed hurts Chinese fans. The Chinese National Olympic Team did not qualify at the door of his home. Xie Yalong's slogan of winning the eight and fighting for the four became a huge laughing stock.

From this point of view, several well-known football commentators and football commentators from China Central Television Sports Channel believe that this "China Derby" Bundesliga should be broadcast at this time to comfort countless Chinese fans.

However, senior executives of China Central Television believe that at this time, we should not be distracted from broadcasting the Bundesliga, but should broadcast the Olympics well, rather than broadcasting football. What is the improvement of football? In my opinion, broadcasting football is not as good as broadcasting table tennis.

When facing Brazil in the last round, the hopeless national Olympic team qualified did not express anything worth paying attention to. In the end, they bid farewell to the Olympics at the end of the group stage. Xie Yalong, the idiot, became the target of the roar of fans all over China and the sinner of the nation.

The destruction in China has nothing to do with Gong Zheng. Since the Chinese Olympic Games are over, his attention to the Olympics has been much lower. Now it is only two days before the first round of the game.

Other Chinese media originally planned to hype the "China derby" in the Bundesliga after the failure of the National Olympic Team, so that fans could divert their interest. Unexpectedly, their wishful thinking made Cottbus head coach Bo Yang Plashnika beat him to pieces.

In the roster of this game released a day in advance, Shao Jia and Yi's name was not included.

If one party is missing, the "China Derby" can't be beaten.

However, the Chinese media were not discouraged because without Shao Jia and B, there was also Gong Zheng who was sure to play the main role in Hoffenheim!

Gong Zheng is the winner of the Golden Boot Award in the European Cup. Ralph Rangnick would never dare to put him on the bench. Moreover, from the past, Ralph Rangnick was very optimistic and caring about Gong Zheng, and he regarded him as the core and was playing.

Therefore, Gong Zheng will definitely start in this game. The Chinese reporters immediately turned around and gave up the report of the Chinese National Olympic Team to attack the Bundesliga.

In an interview before the game, Cottbus' head coach Bo Yang Plashnika returned to the reason why Shao Jia and B were not on the roster. He said that Shao Jia and B were injured last season. Although he has recovered, he is not in the form. He must recover his form as soon as possible so that he can appear on Cottbus' starting lineup.
