Chapter 188 Opening of the Bundesliga

After the first German Cup, after a few days of rest and training, the Bundesliga, which Yang Mo is looking forward to and nervous, is finally about to start.

2009-2010赛季的欧洲五大联赛，英超8月14日开始，意甲8月22日开始，西甲8月30日开始，法甲8月9日开始。

The Bundesliga is the first league to start among the five major leagues.

On August 8, German time, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart fired the "first shot" of the Bundesliga.

In the end, "Wolfburg" defeated Stuttgart 2-0 at home and won the first good start in the Bundesliga under the circumstances that the outside world was not optimistic.

And it was on this day, at the training base of Bayern's headquarters on Sebena Street, that Van Gaal began to announce Bayern's starting lineup for the first game of the league.

Although Yang Mo was not able to play in the last German Cup, according to the state of the previous airport warm-up match, Yang Mo entered the squad without accident.

But what surprised Yang Mo was that Ribery, who had obviously recovered from his injury, was not included in the squad.

Yang Mo saw that after Van Gaal finished reading the list, the scar man's face was very gloomy.

Seeing this, Yang Mo thought of the news his personal team had given him recently, that Ribery seemed bent on joining Real Madrid before the end of the transfer window.

But the Bayern club didn't want to let Ribery leave at all, and they were completely forced to keep Ribery. Looking at the current situation, it is obvious that the water inside is quite deep.

However, after Van Gaal announced the big list, Yang Mo found that besides Ribery, there was another player who failed to make the big list with a very unhappy expression. This player was Luca Toni.

The meritorious striker who helped Bayern attack the city last season didn't know why he didn't get along with Van Gaal. Recently, Van Gaal has been sent to the echelon due to injuries.

However, although Yang Mo discovered these problems keenly, he silently expressed nothing. After all, he is just a rookie who is struggling to compete for the starting position.

The next day, Bayern will go to Sinsheim to prepare for the first game of the 09-10 Bundesliga season. Their opponent in this game is Hoffenheim.

Speaking of the Hoffenheim team, it is also quite legendary in the Bundesliga. After entering the Bundesliga with the investment of owner Dietmar Hopp last year, it also staged a "country miracle" of the Bundesliga half-time champion.

But this season, this former "country" team already has its own home stadium, the Rhine-Neckar Arena.

At this time, a brand new stadium that can accommodate 3 people is where Bayern will play today.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the Bayern players had already entered the visiting team's locker room to start pre-match preparations, and Van Gaal also began to arrange the starting lineup for this game.

In Bayern's traditional 442, Gomez and Olic partnered as forwards, poor student Xiao Yang did not get a chance to start.

At the same time, the broadcast of this game has already begun on China's Yangma Wutai.

In the studio, the commentary partners for this game are Duan Xuan and Tao Wei who were in charge of Yang Mo's national team games.

At this time, Duan Xuan didn't care about Hoffenheim after he got the starting list of both sides at the first time, but after seeing Bayern's starting list, his expression was a little regretful.

"On the Bundesliga starting list arranged by head coach Van Gaal, Chinese teenager Yang Mo did not get the chance to start. This game..."

Listening to Duan Xuan's words, the fans in front of the TV were also quite depressed. It's one o'clock in the morning in domestic time, and everyone stayed up late to watch the football because of Yang Mo.

Now that Yang Mo has not been able to start the game, the majority of domestic fans instantly feel that they are not so energetic watching the game.

But no matter how regretful the domestic commentator is, how depressed the domestic fans are, the first round of Bayern's Bundesliga match will start as usual.

In this game, Hoffenheim's home attendance rate was not too high, but in the stands, there were at least two to 3000 Bayern fans who followed Bayern's expedition.

After the game started, these fans cheered for Bayern very neatly.

But whether it was the Bayern fans on the scene or the Bayern fans in front of the TV, they soon discovered that Bayern seemed to be playing against the "country team" of Hoffenheim, and they were not playing so smoothly.

Under the command of the head coach Rangnick, Hoffenheim faced the Bundesliga class bully Bayern, and they played back and forth.

Whether it is offense or defense, Hoffenheim performed very well.

On the other hand, Bayern seems to be under the tactical command of Van Gaal. They are too obsessed with passing and controlling in the midfield, but they seem not very suitable for passing and controlling.

The ball possession rate remains high, but the overwhelming ball possession rate cannot give Bayern an offensive advantage.

And on the front line, neither Gomez nor Olic seems to be able to accompany the offense after pass control penetration, wasting opportunities repeatedly.

Faced with such a situation, Van Gaal on the sidelines looked at the field with his arms crossed, his expression very ugly.

And just at 37 minutes into the tepid first half, the situation of the game changed suddenly.

Hoffenheim relied on Bayern's pass error to launch a counterattack. Center Obasi, who was standing in the frontcourt and receiving the ball, shot a cold shot from outside the penalty area and directly broke Bayern's goal.

Seeing Obasi celebrating on the field, Van Gaal couldn't help shouting at the field, and the Bayern fans in the stands couldn't help but sigh.

Last season, Bayern was empty of the four major players. This season, Bayern not only invited the iron-fisted coach Van Gaal, but also spent huge sums of money on signings.

The fans thought they could see a brand-new Bayern with a surge in fighting, but they didn't expect Bayern to perform very poorly in the initial airport warm-up match.

Until the previous match against Cologne, the Audi Cup win, and the German Cup several games, after Bayern's successive victories, the fans thought that Bayern had finally run in and started to show off.

But who would have thought that Bayern would be beaten head-on against a "country team" like Hoffenheim at the very beginning of this league.

"This conceded goal is definitely Bayern's mistake. Bayern paid too much attention to pass and control cooperation in the first half, but could not effectively convert possession into goals."

"Furthermore, Gomez and Olic seem to be very uncomfortable with Bayern's tactics, wasting opportunities in front of goal. I think Van Gaal should consider adjusting tactics or personnel."

Facing the situation where Bayern was falling behind, although Director Tao on the TV was talking about Bayern's tactics, everyone could hear the implication, that is, replace Yang Mo as soon as possible.

It seemed that the mysterious power of the East had affected Van Gaal. Not long after Tao’s words were finished, at 40 minutes into the game, Van Gaal took advantage of a throw-in and submitted a substitution application to the fourth official.

No. 14 Yang Mo, replacing No. 33 Gomez.

Dissatisfied with Gomez who left the field with a glance, Van Gaal did not give any comfort to the ugly forward, but just explained the tactics to Yang Mo who had just finished warming up.

But at this time, in Yang Mo's eyes, there was a light of incomparable excitement.

His first league game in the giants is finally about to start!
