Chapter 420 An Unstoppable Opponent

Chapter 420 An Unstoppable Opponent

Hoffman is an ambitious club president. He has the skills, financial resources, perseverance, and can wait. It is because of these qualities that he was able to build an amateur team into a strong Bundesliga team in more than 20 years.In Germany, where professional football has been in operation for hundreds of years and the cake has been divided cleanly, it is almost impossible to do this. Especially Hoffenheim is not a big city, not even a small city.

Rangnick is also an ambitious coach, otherwise he would not have fired at almost the entire top German coaches as a coach of the Bundesliga club at the age of less than 40 years old, let alone coaching a strong team after repeated setbacks in the European arena and still not giving up.

Hoffenheim under the leadership of these two people will definitely be an ambitious club, but from the day they are promoted to the Bundesliga, there is a natural moat that cannot be ignored in front of them. This is also a club that all Bundesliga teams cannot ignore.

There is only one Bayern in the Bundesliga.

This is the consensus of other giants in Europe. There is only one Bundesliga club that can win the championship in the European arena. There is only one Bundesliga club that can compete with the Premier League, Italian Super League and La Liga. There is only one Bayern. They are the pride of the Bundesliga. Domestic attractiveness makes it impossible for other Bundesliga teams to retain their own stars. Behind Bayern's strength is the decline of the Bundesliga.

When they first entered the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim was not yet capable of attacking the Bundesliga champions. Not to mention any championship experience.So they still need to accumulate, accumulate strength, accumulate experience, lay a solid foundation step by step, and move forward slowly.

When they think that they have enough strength to hit the championship this season, they have to move one stone after another, the stones in front of them. Only by moving these stones can they reach the pinnacle of success.

Bayern Munich, of course, is the biggest of these rocks.

Before the start of this season, Rangnick certainly believed that Bayern was their biggest opponent on the way to the championship. First, because they are the defending champions, and second, because they are the team with the most Bundesliga titles.Even after the winter break, when Bayern ranked lower than Hoffenheim, Rangnick has always insisted on this.

Sure enough, in the penultimate round of the league, Hoffenheim's game against Bayern became the decisive battle in the league this season!

If Hoffenheim can beat Bayern at home, then they will win the league title one round ahead of schedule!If they lose to Bayern, it will be difficult for them to have a chance to win the championship again. Bayern's last round is against Stuttgart at home. With Bayern's rich experience in winning the championship, the possibility of missing in such a game is very small.

If the two sides draw, the suspense will remain until the next round. For Hoffenheim, it may be a safer way to draw with Bayern and then go to Schalke to win a victory, but Rangnick does not think so.

If there is no courage to win against a strong enemy, then what qualifications does Hoffenheim have to win this season's championship!Only by defeating the biggest competitor head-on to win the championship, such a championship is the most worthy of the name!

Hoffenheim has never been at a disadvantage against other Bundesliga teams this season!All opponents who lost in the first half were defeated in the second round!And this time, they will also defeat Bayern and win the championship at their home court!

Hoffenheim is looking at this game as a decisive battle!If you lose, you have nothing, and if you tie, you will fall short!In their minds, only by defeating this opponent, their hard work for a season will not be in vain!

Must win, must win, must win no matter what!

This is an unavoidable opponent!The closer you are to their strength, the more fear you will feel. When your fear reaches the strongest level, that is when you can fight them!

Such an opponent cannot be bypassed!You can only face it directly, you can only face it bravely, you cannot escape!

If you can't avoid it, you can't get around it, so what should you do?There is only one way, bright sword!Show your own sword and use your strength, experience, technology and courage to fight this most powerful opponent!

******************************************

The whole of Germany is watching this game!Even the whole of Europe is paying attention to this game!

Is it Hoffman's deliberate efforts for more than 20 years that finally came to fruition, allowing Hoffenheim, a rural team, to create a miracle in the history of continental Europe?

After this game is over, there will be a result!

Although the suspense will be kept until the last round of the league if the two sides draw, both the German media and the fans have avoided this point. Compared with waiting for the champion at the side of the two courts, they hope to see the champion defeat the opponent in a head-to-head confrontation and win the championship silver plate!

Who can win the championship is of course a good gimmick, but the ownership of the Bundesliga championship is not particularly important in European football. It is very important and can attract the attention and attention of countless European fans. However, in addition to the live broadcast of this game on German TV, at least more than [-] countries and regions around the world have broadcast live on this game!

There is no other reason, just because of one-the identities of the two teams are too different.

One is the most famous team that has won the most national championships in Germany so far. Since the Bundesliga was established, it has always been the most famous team in Germany.

The other one was unknown before entering the Bundesliga. Before that, it could only be regarded as an amateur club. The most successful champion was the German Cup champion last season. The previous resume was the same as that of most low-level European teams.

Even the cities they live in have such a huge gap. Munich is one of the leading big cities in Germany, and its status in Europe and the world is quite high, while Hoffenheim is a village, and even the city of Sinsheim where they are located is just a small town with a population of less than 5.

Never in half a century has there been such a gap between the two contending teams in Europe's top five leagues.

Compared with the previous class, Bayern can no longer be described as "nobility", because there are always many nobles in a country. A more accurate adjective should be "king", a unique and extremely respected king.And what about Hoffenheim?At most, he is a commoner, and he has only become an upstart in the past few years.

Wars between nobles and civilians—always attract a lot of people to watch, and the world is always dominated by civilians—so in addition to Bayern fans, more neutral fans probably hope to see civilians overthrow the king and establish a new dynasty.

It's just that the support of the fans can't affect the comparison of the strength of the players on both sides. On the court, after all, it depends on the strength to speak!

More importantly, after Hoffenheim was promoted to the Bundesliga, they have played against Bayern eight times, including seven league games and one German Super Cup. The final result was five losses and three draws, with no wins!Experts believe that such historical results are enough to explain everything, so in the odds of winning the championship offered by major European bookmakers, Bayern still has the upper hand!

Before the start of the game, of course, countless media and reporters went to interview the parties involved. When they interviewed Rangnick, Rangnick did not leave any retreat for himself: "What we want is victory, and we want to use this victory to pay tribute to Mr. Hoffman."

And Van Gaal, who was almost fired in the first half of the season due to his poor performance in the league, answered more simply: "Win the game, the championship is ours."

Van Gaal knew that his only chance was the league title. He led Bayern for three seasons. Although he won the league title in the first two seasons, he failed to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

The victory declarations of the two coaches before the game added more tension to the game. The fans of both sides also scolded happily on the forum. Although the number of Bayern fans has an absolute upper hand, the fans of other Bundesliga teams are standing on the side of Hoffenheim at this time...

On May [-], all eyes were on little Sinsheim, on the Rhein-Neckar Stadium.
