Chapter 370 Lannick's Dismissal
On September 9, at the Rhein-Neckar Stadium, Schalke 10 challenged Hoffenheim away.

After performing a "country miracle", Hoffenheim successfully gained a foothold in the Bundesliga. Although they cannot participate in European competitions, their ranking is not low, and their offensive style has attracted a large number of fans.

However, this season, Hoffenheim’s executives sold Gustavo without the knowledge of head coach Rangnick, and then successively sold the absolute main players Eduardo, Demba Ba, and even goalkeeper Hildebrand. ... Lannick was furious but helpless.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Schalke 04 succeeded in attacking.

Westerman accidentally chose a long pass from the backcourt, and the opponent's central defender missed the top. Holtby took the ball from the left and cut inside and chose to pass back to the center.

Sun Wu, who was plugging in at a high speed, is adjusting his pace... Sun Wu's long-range shooting ability is already very famous. Two Hoffenheim defenders rushed forward, one with his hands covering his crotch, and the other jumped up and tried to block the ball with his back.

But Sun Wu immediately smashed the ball to get rid of the jumping guards, and then tiptoed, the ball flew over the guards' heads.

This was a very tacit cooperation of passing and running. Raul, who did not have the task of the national team as the starting center, burst out of the crowd in an instant, and easily sent the ball into the far corner facing the goalkeeper.

"Nice job!" Sun Wu hugged Raul. He hadn't assisted a teammate like this for a long time. Kuranyi's tactical characteristics made it difficult to get this kind of one-handed goal, and Mandzukic's cooperation was not tacit enough.

Rangnick on the sidelines was expressionless. He could tolerate the loss of Eduardo, Demba Ba and even Hildebrand, but he couldn't tolerate the loss of Gustavo. This Brazilian midfielder is too important to Hoffenheim, who advocates offense.

Although Sun Wu has performed wonderfully against Hoffenheim several times, there is no doubt that Gustavo has a restraining effect on Sun Wu. Look at Sun Wu's performance just now. ...

After leading 1-0, Sun Wu commanded the team to recover the formation. On the one hand, Hoffenheim's offensive strength is not weak. Salihovic, Ibisevic, and Vukocevic are all excellent. Ke 04 This game has undergone a wide range of personnel adjustments.

Farfan, Hewedes, Matip, and Mandzukic did not appear in the starting lineup, while Holtby, Hao Junmin, and Metzelder got their chances.

Although he is a substitute player, under the command of Sun Wu, the ball is transmitted smoothly in the midfield. Although Rangnick keeps gesturing the players to press up and press down, Sun Wu can always pass and receive the ball in a suitable position to knock the ball down. stand up.

In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Hoffenheim pressed hard, and Sun Wu immediately sent two penetrating through balls. Raul and Holtby both got good chances to shoot, but it was a pity that they missed once. , A center post... Hoffenheim was immediately discouraged, and Rangnick spread his hands on the sidelines with a helpless expression.

In all fairness, Rangnick's commanding ability is not weaker than Magath's. Under such circumstances, he still directed the team to play a few good offenses, but it is a pity that a clever woman can't cook without rice, and finally returned home.

The 1-0 score lasted until 70 minutes into the second half, when Mandzukic, Farfan and Draxler came off the bench one after another.

Mandzukic's training in the previous two weeks has achieved good results, and the accuracy of passing and running has improved significantly, and Farfan has also learned about Mandzukic's running habits through training.

In the 78th minute, Sun Wu and Mandzukic played a cooperation in the middle and then obliquely plugged the right rib. Farfan accelerated the ball and made a pass from the bottom.

The power is not great, but the shot is very clever. The ball flies past the goalkeeper's feet and goes straight to the far corner.

After the goal, Mandzukic was relieved and hugged Farfan who assisted.

Magath on the sidelines sat on the coach's bench and didn't move his buttocks. In his opinion, Hoffenheim is obviously not Schalke 04's opponent, and winning is a matter of course.

And Rangnick, who had been standing and directing, finally sat back on the coach's bench. In the tactical arrangement before the game, he specially placed two players in the midfielder position...but the effect was close to nothing.

Sun Wu is not the traditional attacking midfielder with a very wide range of activities; nor is he a purely offensive player, so he chooses the timing of going forward very carefully, often with a strong suddenness and purpose, and deploys heavy troops in the midfielder position It can't curb Sun Wu's performance.

Lannick glanced at the coaching bench of the visiting team with envy and hatred. Magath is really lucky to have picked up this kind of treasure, and this treasure will follow him after leaving... Lannick is well-known in the German coaching circle He is not young and has a lot of friends. He knows that Dortmund coach Klopp appreciates Sun Wu very much.

In the final stage of the game, Farfan used a direct free kick to freeze the score at 3-0.

In the post-match press conference, Rangnick believed that Schalke 04's victory was a matter of course. The Hoffenheim midfielder who lost Gustavo was completely unable to fight against Best, even if Schalke 04's central Not all the main players played in the game, and Rakitic suffered a minor injury in the national team game and did not enter the squad.

The reporters below were very surprised. Although Rangnick is called a "professor", he is not as elegant as Wenger... Sure enough, the next moment, Rangnick announced his resignation and left Hoffenheim, where he had coached for four years. .

Sun Wu didn't know that all of this had something to do with him. In the original time and space, it was also because the club chairman Hope sold Gustavo to Bayern without Rangnick's knowledge, so Rangnick chose to leave. But that was early 2011. The arrival of Sun Wu made Bayern Munich take an early move to poach Gustavo, which also caused Rangnick to leave early.

The departure of Rangnick, the legendary coach who brought Hoffenheim, the "country team" from the Bundesliga all the way to the Bundesliga, and occupied the top spot for a long time, caused quite a shock in the Bundesliga.

In fact, Lannick's nickname "Professor" was not a compliment before. At first Lannick was considered to be just an academic coach, and his theories were far inferior to the traditional German spiritual will and other magic weapons.

But after experiencing the legendary experience of Hoffenheim, the nickname "Professor" is well-deserved. Bundesliga clubs have begun to tentatively contact Rangnick, including Bayern Munich. Said in the interview that he hopes to reunite with Rangnick in Munich...

Bayern Munich defeated Wolfsburg at the last moment of the first round, but was defeated by the newly promoted Kaiserslautern 0-2 in the next round, and was tied by Werder Bremen who lost Ozil in the third round. With one win, one draw and one loss in the three rounds of the league, the record was poor, and Van Gaal's coaching position was shaky.

The media has given the timetable for Van Gaal's dismissal and listed the list of successors... Leverkusen coach Heynckes, who has won three games and ranked first, is at the top of the list. Under him, Thomas Muller and Kisling's partner is very powerful, and they jointly contributed five goals and three assists in three rounds of the league!
The difference from the previous life is that Sun Wu, the time traveler, has done a terrible thing in the past two years. He deliberately highlighted that Heynckes should be the most suitable head coach for Bayern Munich, which directly caused Hoeness to treat Heynckes as the most suitable head coach. The antipathy of the candidate...their relationship is not good!

However, these have nothing to do with Sun Wu directly. When the Bundesliga discussed Rangnick's next foothold, Sun Wu had already flown to Madrid, and he would set foot on the turf of the Bernabeu for the first time.
