Now Hoffenheim's players are just a little relieved at this stage. Everyone has put the pressure in their minds. Now they are preparing for the next league. Now there are four rounds left before the end of this season. Hoffenheim is only five points ahead of Wolfsburg, the second place, and Bayern Munich, the third place, six points. The difference seems to be very large, but in fact it is just two games.[]
At this time, Hoffenheim cannot take it lightly. In the 31st round of the league, Hoffenheim faces Cologne at home. Cologne is now ranked in the middle of the league, and there is no pressure to relegate, and there is no European battle to pursue. By this time, they have no desires and no desires. At this time, facing Hoffenheim, everyone knows what kind of attitude Cologne will play this game.
In this round of the game, Wolfsburg will face Stuttgart, which ranks fourth in the league. This is a strong showdown. If Wolfsburg wants to continue to put pressure on Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg must fight Stuttgart to the death.
Bayern Munich is facing the opponent Cottbus. This game should be easy for Bayern Munich, but don't forget that in the last round, Cottbus defeated a strong team like Wolfsburg. Bayern Munich dared not be careful. Now it is a critical moment, and no opponent can be underestimated.
Bayern Munich doesn't want the Wolfsburg tragedy to happen again, they have made sufficient preparations. In fact, compared to Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich is more difficult because Cottbus wants to relegate, so they must fight to the death.
Before the game, everyone thought it would be easy for Hoffenheim to defeat Cologne, because Cologne had no desires and Hoffenheim now at the most critical moment, of course they would not let Cologne disrupt their plans. Although Hoffenheim's Vedad Ibisekic was injured at this time, Hoffenheim's strength was still the same.
At this time, the most concerned thing about the outside media is whether Hoffenheim's Gong Zheng can break the record of Gede Muller in this game for more than 30 years. Before the game, "Kickers", "Photo" conducted a survey on whether Gong Zheng can break this record in this game. Seventy-one percent of people think that Gong Zheng can break this record, 21 percent of people think that Gong Zheng cannot break this record, and 8 percent of people think that it doesn't matter.
At this time, people from major media also hope to interview Gong Zheng to see how he views this issue, but every time Gong Zheng faces these problems again, he keeps silent. He is not willing to consider this issue at all. What he has to do is to help the team win and win the league championship. For this championship, Hoffenheim has paid a lot, and Gong Zheng does not want to affect the interests of the entire Hoffenheim team because of his own affairs.
