Chapter 71 The morale of the Hoffenheim team
Three to four, although the Russian national team lost the game at the last moment, no German dared to underestimate this Eastern European team. The tenacity of this Eastern European team shocked them. At the last moment, the Eastern European team staged a thrilling scene at the Westfalen Stadium, and they almost equalized the score at the last moment, but unfortunately they were just a little bit short.
Although he won the game, the Germans were still in fear. The Russians' offense in the last period was so crazy that they almost couldn't stand it. At the end, the German national team completely gave up the offense, and even Gong Zheng returned to the penalty area to defend, so he hugged the previous victory and did not let the tragedy happen.

At the post-match press conference, the German national team was ridiculed and sarcastic by reporters. They highly praised the Russian national team. The German national team performed well in the first half of the game, but in the second half, especially in the second half of the second half, the performance of the German national team was simply annoying.
At the post-match press conference, the head coach of the Russian national team, Hiddink, said: "We did not perform well in this game. If we got into the state earlier in the first half, the final result of promoting blood circulation would not be like this. If we got into the state earlier, the final victory of the game belongs to us."
Listening to the words of the head coach of the Russian national team, Hiddink, all of them agree with the following. Although the Russian national team lost in this game, the Russian national team won respect.
The protagonist of this game was not Gong Zheng who scored the goal and gave the assist, nor Podolsky who scored with a oxtail, but Russian Tsar Andre Arshavin of the Russian national team, which sounded the horn of counterattack in the second half of the second half of the game, scoring two goals in a row, helping the Russian national team win the last chance.
This game also exposed many problems to the German national team. Now they have something to do, and this exposure problem is much better than exposing problems in the World Cup.
After this game, the German national team will face Wales at their home court on October 15th, while the Russian national team will return to their home court to face Finland.
In this game, the German national team is relatively relaxed, while the Russian national team's game is more powerful. In the previous game, Finland defeated the German national team three-to-three when they were playing against the German national team at home. In fact, they almost defeated the German national team, but they were just a little bit lucky.
Although they encountered strong obstacles from the Russian national team in this game, the German national team still struggled to win the game. Now they must focus on their next game.
The match between the German national team and Wales is still played in the Westfalen Stadium in Dortmund, but the game of the Russian national team is ahead of them. The Russian national team easily defeated the Finnish team with a score of 3-0 at its home court, which also shows that the Russian national team is capable of competing with the German national team to win the first place in the group.
Therefore, the German national team must be careful in the subsequent games, be careful of every game, every game, and win games frantically.
In the game against Wales, Gong Zheng still started, and now he has firmly taken the position of the main striker of the German national team. In this series of games, Gong Zheng's performance is very good, and his goal efficiency is very high. Who will start if he doesn't start?
In this game, the German national team may have been affected by the crazy blockade of the Russian national team in the last game, or the whole team's defense made the German national team very annoyed. The German national team attacked wildly, attacked again and again, and returned in vain. It was not until the 84th minute of the game that the German national team topped the football with a corner kick and entered the goal of Wales. In the end, the German national team defeated the Wales with a goal at home.
Although the German national team won this game, this did not satisfy the fans of the German national team, especially in the last game against Wales. Faced with such a team, the German national team played so hard that the fans of the German national team were very worried about the prospects of the German national team.
At this time, the German national team players completed this period of task and had to rush back to the club to participate in the weekend league. At this time, they had no extra thoughts to consider the statements of these media and journalists, and they all had to devote themselves to the league.
Especially Gong Zheng, it is a very important period for Hoffenheim, and every league is very important for Hoffenheim. This year there is no national team's game task. The next German national team's World Cup European qualifier will only start in late March next year, so now these players can devote their whole attention to the league.
Until now, Hoffenheim is still ranked second in the league standings, which surprised all German media reporters and fans. They did not expect Hoffenheim to stay in this position. Many people are predicting when Hoffenheim will fall behind and completely fall into the relegation zone.
Of course, some guys have changed their understanding of Hoffenheim. They think that it should not be difficult for Hoffenheim to relegate, but it is indeed unrealistic to want to maintain the third place to compete for the championship. They all hope that Hoffenheim will not be too ambitious and have to know their own strength when playing in the league, otherwise they will mislead themselves.
Hoffenheim still did not give up their goals at this time. Their club is in a very favorable position, which gives them firm confidence that they have the ability to win the championship three times.
On October 18, Hoffenheim will challenge Hannover 96 away.
Since upgrading from the Bundesliga in the 2001-2002 season, Hannover 96 has been in the first league, ranking in the middle of the league every season. It is a typical Bundesliga team - relegation is free and hopeless to win the championship, and it is difficult to participate in European competitions.
Before this season, Hannover was considered the dark horse team of the new season because they recruited troops and expanded the team's strength. However, after Hoffenheim emerged, everyone gave the title of "dark horse" to Hoffenheim, and Hannover was neglected.
This made Hanover 96 club very uncomfortable. They have invested a lot this season and have been in the Bundesliga for so many years. This makes Hanover feel a little tired of this. They have increased their investment this season in order to change this situation. They hope to be able to compete for the European League qualification.
However, after seven rounds of games, the Hannover 96 team was only ranked 13th in the league, and was also in a position that was neither up nor down, which made the Hannover 96 club very dissatisfied. They hoped that this game against Hoffenheim would begin and their rise would begin.
In this game, Ralph Rangnick was lined up with the old four and three three. Gong Zheng, who came back from the national team, still appeared in the starting lineup, with him leading Vedad Ibisevic and Demba Ba to form Hoffenheim's forward line.
The midfield trio is composed of Salihovic, Carlos Eduardo and Luis Gustavo. Hoffenheim's defense has not changed much. The biggest change in Hoffenheim in this game is the goalkeeper position. In this game, Ralph Rangnick pressed Austrian national goal Ramazan Ozcan on the bench, allowing Daniel Haas to start.
It can be seen that Ralph Rangnick is very dissatisfied with the Austrian international's recent performance, so he pressed him on the bench. After seeing all this, the reporters on the scene felt that it was a fact that Ralph Rangnick really brought a high-level goalkeeper in the winter.
Hannover 96 has also made full preparations for this game. They hope that from this game, they will completely sound their horn for entering the European League. But who would have thought that after the start of the game, the visiting team Hoffenheim would be the one who attacked wildly.
From the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim launched a fierce attack, and it was impossible to tell that they were fighting away.
Just five minutes into the game, Hoffenheim scored his first goal. Hoffenheim's offense was initiated by the wing, and Hoffenheim's full-back Andreas Baker dribbled the ball at high speed. After two-passing one with Salihovic, he quickly succeeded in the underground and scrambling to Hanpiao Astronomy, Hoffenheim led his opponent 1-0.
This goal shocked the fans of Hannover 96 Club. They didn't expect that Hoffenheim, a newly promoted team, would be so powerful and scored so quickly, and they all were stunned.
Just when they were stupid and not yet reacted, Hoffenheim scored again a minute later. Hannover 96 club's midfield kickoff was interrupted. Gong Zheng directly passed the football to Bosnian Salihovic on the wing. After receiving the ball from the wing, the latter saw the opponent's goalkeeper standing in front and shot from a long shot. Hannover 96 goalkeeper failed to react. The football was like the goalkeeper of Hannover 96, 2-0.
Hoffenheim led two goals just seven minutes into the game, which no one expected. They did not expect Hoffenheim's condition would be so good, which also fooled the Hannover 96 team, which made them very confused.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Hoffenheim's offense launched another attack, threatening Hannover's 96 goal.
After Gong Zheng received a pass from Salihovic at the front of the penalty area, Gong Zheng immediately turned around and shot from a long time! The football flew towards Hannover 96 like a cannonball!
Hannover 96 goalkeeper Fromlovets misjudged the power of Gong Zheng's shooting. Although the ball was about twenty-seven or eight meters away from the goal, Gong Zheng's shooting was very powerful. The football almost arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. His speed of the center of gravity could not keep up with the speed of the football running forward, so he lost his hand to the ball...
Although he lost his football, he still has to be grateful that he has solid basic skills. His legs move very standard when kneeling down, otherwise the football is likely to wear his crotch and roll into the goal behind him.
Now the football just hit his knee and then bounced out.
But when he didn't expect that, he still couldn't stop the Hoffenheim from sending the football into the net. Demba, who quickly followed up, picked up a bargain in front of the goal and sent the football into the empty goal. Three to zero.
After that, the Hannover 96 club had no ability to block. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Gong Zheng received a pass from Andreas Ibertberger from the side in the penalty area, and inserted it into the back row and fell to the ground to sweep the ball into the Hannover 96 goal.
At the end of the first half, Hoffenheim led by a big score of four to zero. After the second half, the storm changed suddenly on the court, and Hannover 96 team scored two goals in a row, which allowed Hannover 96 fans to see hope. They were extremely excited and roared wildly.
