Chapter 52 Change and Improvement

The first day's crushing defeat made Hoffenheim players feel a huge gap.

After winning nearly two seasons, their mentality became slightly swelling, but this game made them completely recognize the reality.

Facing the reserve team of first-tier teams, they still have such a huge gap, let alone facing the first-tier team's original.

After this game, the players' mood was obviously wrong and their morale was extremely sluggish.

But the enthusiasm for training is even higher.

Although a crushing defeat was disappointing, they really saw the gap.

They knew that they needed to correct the situation next, and also saw their own room for improvement.

Just like Ji'an, he also has to watch game videos in addition to training every morning.

These videos are not Hoffenheim's game, but the highlights of Tottenham United-Garre Berim's breakthrough video collected by Koch.

The two have similar styles, and Koch hopes that Gian will start with imitation and find his own style of playing football.

Moreover, Garay Berim's route choice, breakthrough timing, and how to cooperate with his teammates are also of certain learning value.

In the afternoon, they welcomed their second training match opponent.

Kazan gold arrow.

This is a team belonging to the Russian League One, but not all the main players are playing games, but even so, Hoffenheim is still unable to resist the opponent's attack.

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

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

The torture from both the body and the mind made the Hoffenheim players miserable.

At this time, they had forgotten that this place was the beautiful Antalya, and their minds were filled with how to avoid losing the ball and keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

In this case, there are major problems with the cooperation of Hoffenheim players.

During internal training, they began to give up their previous defensive linkage and adopted a brand new defensive idea.

However, Zhang Xian felt more and more familiar with him as he looked at him, and he couldn't help but ask Daweid Koch for advice.

In response, Daweid Koch smiled, "They are imitating the defensive tactics of Kazan Golden Arrow!"

"Look at Ji'an's running position. Every time the substitute team wants to play, that is, when the midfield and backcourt are organized, Ji'an and Wei'rouch will quickly step forward and oppress the opponent's central defender. When the substitute team is unable to bear the pressure to send the ball to the midfield, Larik and Gray will head towards the half space (half space) area in the middle, forming 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, ensuring equal numbers."

"At this time, Mario and Duran Bob will also press forward, and instantly form a 6-for-4 situation."

"This defensive tactic is very complicated, the entire defense line is constructed into three layers. The first layer is composed of forwards, the second layer is executed by the midfielder, and the third layer is composed of two full-backs close to the opponent's wings."

"The focus of defense is to oppress the middle lane, release the wing lane, and force the opponent to pass the ball to the two wing lanes, thereby wasting the opponent's time and forming a defensive linkage that is beneficial to us."

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

But the players understand.

But just as Zhang Xian was expecting Hoffenheim's first team to organize a wonderful defensive linkage, the ball suddenly ran out between Mario and Larik.

And these two men were like two puppets without any movement.

Mario didn't shout until the ball passed through, "Hey! This ball is yours!"

Larik yelled and denyed, "No, this is your ball, my area is on the right!"

"Damn it, the defensive linkage lets you stand in place like a wooden stake. You didn't see Gray moving forward. Do I need to make up for him? So, the defensive tasks in this area are all yours!"

Upon hearing this, Larik was stunned. His mind couldn't turn around for a moment, but he also knew that it seemed that something was wrong with him.

"Okay! Mine!"

Larik murmured in a low voice.

At this time, Duran Bob clapped his hands loudly and encouraged, "People, keep cheering and strive to succeed once today!"

"Come on!"

"Larick, cheer up!"

"Pay attention to distance and be sure to be dense in defense!"

"Grey, you need to run more and drive the defense density of the midfield!"

Everyone was shouting loudly and expressing their understanding.

The entire training ground is in full swing.

Daweid Koch looked at the scene with relief, turned to Zhang Xian and asked, "Do you feel like you're back two years ago?"

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

Daweid Koch smiled and said, "The current Hoffenheim first team is like the Meteors two years ago. We cannot be sure whether the result of this change is good or bad, but at least our players know that they are going to get something, which is enough."

"This training camp is very necessary to let them see the real high-level league play rhythm and slowly adapt. I believe that for Hoffenheim, his future can be expected."

Zhang Xian nodded slightly, Daweid Koch said it very correctly.

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

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

After the whole day of training, Hoffenheim players fell to the ground exhausted and gasped.

The defeat in the game, the fatigue of the body, and the torture of the mind all made them suffer.

But every day here is fulfilling.

They can feel the path they need to move forward, and that's enough.

At around 4 o'clock, the Hoffenheim players were sweating profusely preparing to return to the hotel to wash.

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

It is as bright as the red sun, and the golden edges seem to represent a certain degree of dignity and demeanor.

When the team logo suddenly broke into their sight, every Hoffenheim player could no longer calm down.

Trafford!

This is Trafford!

Swish!!!

The car door opens.

The first step came out with an old man with a gray head. The old man was tall and his eyes were like lightning. He was chewing gum in his mouth and looked at them lightly.

Just this glance made Hoffenheim players get goosebumps.

Godfather of Trafford - Sir Alex!

One of the most famous head coaches in football.

Trafford's legendary coach.

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

Following closely behind, Trafford's stars also walked out of the bus.

Trafford No. 10 stars. Preni, Charleland, Callejon, Latham, etc....

All are famous stars.

This scene made Hoffenheim players stunned.

They never expected that they would meet a group of Trafford stars here.

The Hoffenheim players looked at them foolishly until they walked into the hotel and disappeared. He recovered.

"Puppuppuppup...Leni!!! God, I saw Prenny!" Gian jumped up excitedly, but before he was happy for too long, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said, "Why didn't you go and sign it just now!!!"

The same goes for other Hoffenheim players.

The idols were right in front of them, but they were stunned. There was nothing worse than this.

In the whole audience, Zhang Xian was a little calmer. After all, he had known about Trafford's training camp here for a long time.

That night, the Hoffenheim players seemed particularly active, forming a group of one or two, wandering on various floors of the hotel, wanting to encounter each other.

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

Just staying in the same hotel with your idol is enough to be surprised.

But a bigger surprise is behind.

The next day, when they saw the players who were already in the free training ground next to them, their faces flushed red.

Playing football in front of idols was something they didn't dare to think about before.

Under this emotion, their training enthusiasm is high, but there are also some low-level mistakes that occur to show themselves.

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

On the other side of the mesh barrier, Trafford players are accustomed to all this, and they train on their own without even glance at Hoffenheim.

Sir Alex subconsciously glanced at the logo with the "Hoffenheim Training Ground".

But he only took a look, feeling a little familiar, and didn't pay much attention.
