Sinsheim Rhine Neka Arena is a relatively small arena in the Bundesliga, and can only accommodate about 30,000 fans.

However, Hoffenheim's nickname is Huocun because Hoffenheim is originally a village in Sinsheim. Not to mention Hoffenheim, even Sinsheim cannot be found on the German map.

There are only about 3,000 residents in Hoffenheim village. Even if fans from surrounding villages and towns are added, it would be great to fill up 30,000. What's the use of more?

For this reason, Hoffenheim has been ridiculed by other teams as a country bumpkin.

However, in today's game, Hoffenheim performed very strongly at home and planned to suppress Schalke from the beginning.

Ye Feng remembers that in the first half of last season, Hoffenheim, who had just entered the Bundesliga, has been leading the standings. If the number one center Ibissevic had not been reimbursed due to injury, they might have really been able to replicate the miracle of Kaiserslautern.

However, everyone has gradually adapted to this "stupid" style of playing. Hoffenheim is not that mysterious and can only rely on his strength to make a breakthrough in the Bundesliga.

Today, the Bosnia and Herzegovina double stars in Hoffenheim were very eye-catching, especially Salihovic, who was extremely active in the midfield.

With Jones absent, Ye Feng had to take on more defensive responsibilities. While guarding against his opponent's core players, he also had to constantly sweep the midfield to reduce pressure on Matip.

What annoyed Ye Feng the most was that he did not dare to foul.

Salihovic is a free kick expert, and the rate of direct free kicks is very high. Once he is given too many direct free kick opportunities, Neuer will be upset.

Therefore, Ye Feng could only use his iron wall to deal with Salihovic. Even at Hoffenheim, he did not dare to stare at Salihovic too tightly, for fear that the referee would blew the home whistle.

In this way, although Salihovic cannot pass Ye Feng from the front, he has more passes to lead the attack because he has room for passing.

Englar is experienced and although he still wants to go there from time to time, he can still share the great pressure on Ye Feng.

But Matipu on the right looks embarrassed because he lacks experience in Bundesliga.

In the 9th minute, Salihovic passed the ball to Eduardo's feet. Eduardo flexibly stopped and directly broke through Matip's defense.

Matip is on the head!

He knocked Eduardo to the ground after he turned around.

Although it prevented Eduardo from breaking through, it gave Hoffenheim a free kick with a very good position.

Ye Feng was once a big head in an instant. Salihovic was so difficult to defend, so he was careful not to foul. This guy Matipu seemed to have no idea about this and had no scruples when he violated the rules.

This won't work!

Just as I was about to speak, I stopped immediately.

Because Ye Feng remembered his first professional game.

It was during the German C League that I received the care of my system father in that game.

But that's not the point. The point is that in that game, because of his defensive mistakes, Altentop, who had recovered from the first team to the second team, did not scold him very much in anger.

Whether it is your own fault or not, whether Altentop is a first-team champion, since he is fighting side by side on the same field, he is his teammate.

At least Ye Feng couldn't accept this attitude towards his teammates.

So, in other words, if you scold Matip with a bad attitude, then what is the difference between yourself and Altentop?

After thinking about it, Ye Feng pulled Matipu, who seemed to have not realized what he had done, to line up the wall. While standing, he turned his head to Matipu and said, "I saw a little nervousness in you, but this is normal. After all, everyone will appear for the first time, and it is inevitable that they are excited!"

"But nervousness will affect your commitment to the game, so you have to learn to restrain yourself."

"In addition, Salihovic's free kick is very good. In the threatening area, try not to foul easily. If he seizes the opportunity, the situation will not be very favorable."

"Come on, boy, I'm optimistic about you!"

As he said that, Ye Feng did not forget to pat Matipu on the shoulder.

But because Matipu was a little taller, Ye Feng's posture of patting him on the shoulder seemed very stiff.

Matipu stared at Ye Feng in a daze, and was so moved that he was a little speechless.

He is an unknown soldier from the second team, but Ye Feng has already achieved success in the Bundesliga. Even though the two are of the same age, Ye Feng is only one year older than Matipu, but in fact their status is very different.

And now, in Matip's view, the big star Ye Feng, who seems to be high, actually comforts himself with such calmness and patience, how could he not be flattered?

"Well, I will definitely work hard!"

Matip nodded heavily and said with all his strength.

Ye Feng may not know how profound the impact his words would have on a young player, but now, as long as Matipu doesn't cause trouble.

Schalke 04 lined up the human wall, and at this time, Schalke 04's advantages emerged. He was so tall that he was too tall.

Englar, Matipu, Westman and one Kuranyi blocked Salihovic's vision tightly.

Where has Salihovic seen such an exaggerated wall of humans?

For a moment, I was a little confused.

However, Ye Feng was even more confused than Salihovic at this time.

There was no reason. He was originally planning to join the human wall and pushed him out by Englar in disgust.

"You are too short, which affects the quality of the human wall!" Englar said to Ye Feng with great pain.

Ye Feng was almost crying. I, a strong man of 1.85 meters, was actually disliked?

Where can he make sense?

Besides, if Barcelona midfielders knew this, how would they feel?

Ye Feng couldn't help but think of Barcelona's human wall, Messi 1.69, Xavi 1.7, and Iniesta 1.71. The three of them stood together, just like a wifi signal.

It doesn’t seem to make any sense to line up such a wall of people, right?

It’s not like Schalke 04, not even qualified to mount a wall!

Salihovic had no choice but to bite the bullet and the free throw. The arc ball actually bypassed the wall and drew a large arc to run Schalke 04 goal.

Fortunately, Neuer was well prepared and flew into the fish and blocked Salihovic's free kick.

Huocun fans in the stands couldn't help but scream with regret. If Hoffenheim could take the lead at the start, the game would be very easy to control!

At this time, Matipu was also in a cold sweat!

He has seen the power of Salihovic's free kick!

He also realized how reckless his actions were. If Schalke 04 really lost the ball because of this, wouldn’t he become the team’s sinner?

He doesn't want his Bundesliga debut to be the most unbearable memory he has ever looked back on!

Thinking of this, Matipu's eyes looked at Ye Feng, and he was once again full of gratitude!
Chapter completed!
