From The Country Team To The Rich
Chapter 20 Why You Are Better

Chapter 20 Why are you better?

The time is into August, and the German seventh tier league schedule has also been faxed to various clubs.

Hoffenheim's opponent in the first round was called the Newst Warriors.

It is a club located in Romannan, a city under Mannheim.

Last season, Newster Warriors were ranked 12th in the standings. This is not a team that is too strong, but enough to test the strength of this reorganized Hoffenheim.

In the first game, Hoffenheim had to play away. It's not friendly to them. If they lose, it will likely affect morale.

But now that this is set up, they can only prepare to play away.

The game will officially start on the 10th. From the very beginning, Hoffenheim had begun active training.

The enthusiasm of each player is very high. After all, in a more professional environment, when they can practice on their own is a kind of pleasure.

They have to adjust things to be the best in ten days.

Four days have passed, under the leadership of the coaching staff, his fitness and physical condition have recovered quite well.

In that case, they wanted to test their own strength.

For this, head coach David Koch also met Zhang Xian.

"Sir, we want to have a friendly match!"

David Koch said to Zhang Xian.

In the past, David Koch would not have made such a request. After all, there were very few teams competing against the better teams, and Hoffenheim was a rookie.

The coaching staff put forward this kind of advice, which in itself makes it difficult for the sporting director.

But David Koch always felt that Zhang now had a way.

Sure enough, Zhang Xian took out a phone and dialed the number.

"Sir Howerson, we're ready, everything will be fulfilled as agreed, okay, we're waiting for your team to come!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xian put down the phone and said; "The opponent in the practice match will come tomorrow!"

Daweed Koch was surprised, and said in surprise; "May I ask, which team is it?"

Zhang Xian casually said: "Rheinbaman on the sixth level!"

David Koch: "!"

Rheinbaman, the fourth strongest team in Germany's sixth-tier league, were also close to promotion last year, only one place could move up to the fifth tier of the regional league.

This opponent is rather strong!

Dong ding!

The phone's ringtone rings, which is a text message.

Zhang Xian glanced for a moment, and said, "I have also found an opponent for the second practice match, Guoslin!"

Gosling, Germany's fifth league club.

Although the brand didn't play well last season and was almost relegated, it's not something Hoffenheim can handle.

What is all this?

Seeing Koch's helpless appearance, Zhang Xian raised his head and said: "Master Koch, the purpose of this practice game is to know your own problems and test your strength at the same time. I think there is nothing more suitable than these two teams.”

"A strong team at the sixth level, a weak team at the fifth level!"

"I really want to know how we can play against these teams!"

David Koch: "Is there a requirement?"

"Don't lose!"

Zhang Xian opened his mouth seriously he said: "I hate failure!"

David Koch: "."

David Koch leaves, he tells the players about this 'inspiring' news.

At first, the players looked at each other, but soon, they seemed excited.

In fact, they also want to know how far they can play if they meet this professional team.

At Zhang Xian's office, Mary entered.

"How do you contact these clubs?" Mary asked.

Zhang Xian said casually; "The German Football Association's service phone has their contact information."

Mary: "Then how do you get them to agree to a practice match with us."

You know, nobody wants to play a practice match with an amateur team.

In that case, Zhang Xian's answer was very succinct.

"I bear the round-trip fare and the cost of their accommodation!"

"." Mary covered her head and said, "Well, you can always make this weird decision."

Zhang Xian smiled; "Actually, I only want them to lose, so that they can see the gap between professionals and amateurs."

Although Zhang Xian asked not to lose, his plan was to let the team lose and at the same time look for gaps between the professional teams.

However, Mary showed a strange smile and said: "If so, then you will be disappointed."

Zhang Xian raised his head and looked up.

Mary shrugged and said, "Do you know what Koch's nickname is?"

"What?!"

"Tortoise shell!" Mary smiled and said: "He may not be a good head coach, but he is a master of defense!"

Right now, at the training ground.

"Run! What are you looking at?"

"Dragon distance, motherfucker, don't let you just stare at Will's ass, run parallel!"

"When you're struggling to jump, raise your hand, what's your elbow for, tackle him!"

"Tekel him, the ball can pass, but you can't let people pass, motherfucker!"

David Koch, who was usually gentle and graceful, now turned out to be extremely ruthless.

At this moment, the Scherf brothers stood next to Koch, behaving well like little sheep.

Erich looked at Koch's grumpy appearance and couldn't help but grin in a low voice: "I believe that rumor, his nickname when he was young was a butcher!"

The Scherf brothers' second son nodded, and said with emotion: "That's how a professional team defences, right?"

Wagner on the other hand sneered: "Defense in general does not reach this level. That's because when this old man was young, he played in the Italian league!"

Hoffenheim, train hard with this 4-4-1-1 formation.

It is an offensive and defensive formation.

When attacking, the midfield can be set up quickly, and at the same time provide enough support to the centre-forward, and also provide plenty of space for action.

When defending, two of these vanguards would instantly form a defensive gate, which was like two walls standing in front of an opposing attacking player. As long as the distance was maintained, it was difficult to break through this line.

It's a formation that makes David Koch more confident, but he's more likely to defend and counter-attack.

But Hoffenheim had no leader in the defensive ranks, so he used this tactic and focused on offensive and defensive formations.

Zhang Xian's remarks undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Koch.

But he's not a soft guy. As long as this formation was played, let alone high-level regional league clubs, even teams in the Northern and Southern regional leagues had to suffer.

In fact, the fifth league is similar to the sixth league and the seventh tier league.

There is not much difference in player composition or other aspects.

The so-called professionals and amateurs are nothing more than loopholes in tactical change.

And now, all Koch has to do is improve some tactics.

He refused to accept their differences with the teams in the fifth and sixth league

We are both poor, why are you better?
