From the Country Team To the Rich

The disastrous defeat on the first day made the Hoffenheim players feel a huge gap.

After winning nearly two seasons, their mentality became slightly inflated, but this game made them fully realize the reality.

Facing the reserve team of the first team, they still have such a huge gap, let alone the deity of the first team.

After the game, the players' emotions were obviously wrong, and their morale was extremely low.

But the enthusiasm for training is even higher.

Although a fiasco was frustrating, it also made them really see the gap.

They know what needs to be corrected next, and they also see their own room for improvement.

Just like Ji An, he also watches game videos after training every morning.

These videos are not Hoffenheim games, but Koch has asked the coaching staff to collect Tottenham United-Gary Belim's breakthrough video highlights.

The styles of the two are similar, and Koch hopes that Gyan will start from imitating and find his own playing style.

Moreover, Gary Belim's route selection, breakthrough timing, and how to cooperate with his teammates and other advantages also have a certain learning value.

In the afternoon, they ushered in the second training match opponent.

Kazan Golden Arrow.

This is a team belonging to the Russian First Division, but not all the main players are on the game, but even so, facing the opponent's attack, Hoffenheim is still difficult to parry.

In this game, Hoffenheim scored three goals again, and was once kicked to doubt his life.

Another crushing defeat, two consecutive days of defeat left the Hoffenheim players feeling exhausted.

The torture from both physical and mental aspects made the Hoffenheim players miserable.

At this point, they have forgotten that this is Antalya with beautiful scenery, and their minds are full of how to not lose the ball and how to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

In this case, there is a big problem with the cooperation of the Hoffenheim players.

In internal training, they began to abandon the previous defensive linkage,

Adopt a new way of defense.

However, the more Zhang Xian looked at it, the more familiar it became, so he couldn't help but ask David Koch for advice.

In this regard, David Koch said with a smile; "They are imitating the Kazan Golden Arrow's defensive tactics!"

"Look at Ji'an's running position. Every time the substitute team wants to play build up, that is, when the midfield organizes, Ji'an and Wei Rauch will quickly move forward to press the opponent's central defender. At the midfield, Lalique and Gray will move towards the half space (half space) area in the middle, and form an area to block the line of sight, interfere with the substitute team, and force the substitute team to strengthen the delivery of troops to the middle lane to ensure the number of people equal."

"At this time, Mario and Duran Bob will also press forward, forming a 6-on-4 situation in an instant."

"This defensive tactic is very complex. The entire defensive line is structured in three layers. The first layer is composed of strikers, the second layer is executed by the midfielder, and the third layer has two full-backs clinging to the opponent's wings."

"The focus of defense is to press the center, release the sideways, and force the opponent to pass the ball towards the two sides, thus wasting the opponent's time and forming a defensive linkage that is beneficial to us."

Zhang Xian nodded thoughtfully. He didn't know much about football, so he couldn't understand, and his tactical sensitivity was not high.

It's just that the players know it.

But just when Zhang Xian was expecting Hoffenheim's first team to organize a wonderful defensive linkage, the ball suddenly jumped out from between Mario and Lalique.

And these two people are like two puppets without any movement.

It wasn't until the ball passed through that Mario shouted; "Hey! This ball is yours!"

Lalique denied loudly; "No, this is your ball, my area is on the right!"

"Hell, the defensive linkage doesn't make you stand in place like a wooden stake. You don't see Gray moving forward. Do I need to fill him in? So, the defensive tasks in this area are all yours!"

Hearing this, Lalique was stunned, he couldn't turn his mind for a while, but he also knew that something was wrong with him.

"Okay! Mine!"

Lalique muttered under his breath.

At this time, Duran Bob clapped his hands loudly and encouraged him; "Guys, keep working hard and try to succeed once today!"

"come on! Come on!"

"Lalique, cheer up!"

"Pay attention to the distance, the defense must be dense!"

"Grey, you need to run more and increase the defensive density of the midfield!"

Everyone is shouting loudly, expressing their understanding.

The whole training ground was full of heat.

David Koch looked at this scene in relief, then turned to Zhang Xian and asked, "Do you feel like you're back two years ago?"

"Two years ago?" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Dawid Koch chuckled and said: "The Hoffenheim first team is just like the Meteor team two years ago. They are undergoing huge changes. We can't be sure whether the result of this change is good or bad. But at least our players know what they're going for, and that's enough."

"This training camp is very necessary, so that they can see the rhythm of playing in the real high-level league, so as to gradually adapt. I believe that such a Hoffenheim, his future can be expected."

Zhang Xian also nodded slightly, David Koch was right.

He doesn't want Hoffenheim to just hover in the low-level leagues. He has great ambitions, and for this ambition, Hoffenheim must make changes.

Just like now, it is very beneficial to them to broaden their horizons, improve their abilities, and adapt to higher-intensity competitions as soon as possible.

At the end of the whole day's training, the Hoffenheim players fell to the ground one by one, gasping for breath.

The loss of the game, physical fatigue, and mental torture made them miserable.

But every day here is fulfilling.

They can feel they need a path forward, and that's enough.

Around 4 o'clock, the Hoffenheim players were sweating and ready to go back to the hotel to wash off.

When they walked to the gate of the hotel, a bus suddenly stopped in front of them.

Bright red like a red sun, the golden stripes seem to represent a certain kind of dignity and dignity.

When the team logo suddenly broke into their sight, every Hoffenheim player could not calm down.

Trafford!

This is Trafford!

Swish! ! !

The door opens.

The first one to come out was a grey-haired old man. The old man was tall and straight, his eyes were like lightning, chewing gum in his mouth, and gave them a faint look.

Just this one glance gave the Hoffenheim players goosebumps.

Godfather of Trafford - Sir Alex!

One of the most famous head coaches in football.

Trafford's legendary coach.

This big man, who only appeared on TV, appeared so rudely in front of the Hoffenheim players, making them feel unreal.

Immediately afterwards, Trafford stars also stepped out of the bus.

Trafford No. 10. Plenny, Ciellan, Callejon, Ratanson and more. …

All are famous players in the world.

This scene stunned the Hoffenheim players.

They never expected that they would meet Trafford's stars here.

The Hoffenheim players looked at them stupidly, until they walked into the hotel and disappeared, he was relieved.

"Pu Pu Pu Pu Pu Lei Ni!!! God, I saw Pu Lei Ni!" Jian jumped up excitedly, but he was not happy for too long, he beat his chest and said; "Why didn't you go to ask for it just now?" Sign it!!!"

The same goes for the other Hoffenheim players.

There is nothing worse than idols being close at hand, but they are blindsided.

In the audience, only Zhang Xian was a little indifferent. After all, he already knew about Trafford's training camp here.

That night, the Hoffenheim players were particularly active, forming a group of one or two, wandering around the hotel floors, looking for chance encounters.

Although they failed to meet any Trafford players, they still enjoyed it.

Just staying in the same hotel with their idols is enough for them to be pleasantly surprised.

But bigger surprises lie ahead.

The next day, when they saw the players pouring into Trafford in the vacant training ground next to them, their faces turned red.

Playing football in front of their idols was something they never even dared to think about before.

In this mood, their training enthusiasm is high, but there are also some low-level mistakes in order to express themselves.

Zhang Xian didn't know how to evaluate for a while.

On the other side of the mesh fence, the Trafford players took all this for granted. They trained on their own without even glancing at Hoffenheim.

Sir Alex subconsciously glanced at the sign with the 'Hoffenheim Training Ground'.

But he just glanced at it, feeling a little familiar, and didn't pay too much attention.
