Chapter 012 Hoffenheim's surprise!

"Young man, welcome to Hoffenheim." Perhaps it is in such a countryside that there will be no such rigorous as a big club. At least for Hoffenheim, who has just been promoted to the Bundesliga, their management has indeed made great progress, but it is still a bit loose.

The Germans are indeed famous for their rigor and old-fashionedness, but for a small village with only 3,000 people, even if one person comes to the village, it will basically be known to all the villagers in an instant; and it is also a country that is unfamiliar to them from a distant country. What’s more important is that this Chinese boy came to participate in the pride of this small village - Hoffenheim trial!

For a small village with only 3,000 people, it is their pride to give birth to the German Second Division team. Although Hoffenheim has been in the team for a hundred years, this season is their best result, so for the current village names, this team is their pride. Xiao Qing came to participate in the trial training. Although they don’t know Xiao Qing’s strength, they have a good impression of Xiao Qing.

Of course this is just a kind lie. At least Xiao Qing didn't know about a team like Hoffenheim before this; but what he said from his "translation" civilization is another version: Xiao Qing is a player from China and is full of admiration for the energy of the small rural team, so he hopes to pursue his own hope in this home of hope.

Many people can hear this half-true and half-false, but this does not prevent the villagers of Huo Village from having a good first impression of Xiao Qing, because this seems to be the first player from their village to come to try out, and he also "come in the distance" from the mysterious China!

The Germans are proud, and there is indeed racial discrimination here; but at least one thing is that the Germans may not like Turks and some black people, but they are still friendly to Asians. In addition, Xiao Qing gave them a good first impression, so they came to Hoffenheim very easily. With the help of enthusiastic villagers, Xiao Qing and Wenming even met Hoffenheim's sports and youth training director Bernhard Peters very easily.

It is difficult for rural teams like Hoffenheim to have their own complete youth training system, but Hoffenheim, who have lofty ambitions, wants to go further, so they naturally need to train their own players, so strengthening youth training is an imperative thing, and they cannot always rely on digging players. And this Bernhard Peters has a great background. At least when he knew about the powerful Hoffenheim management, Xiao Qing and Wenming were a little stunned, because they did not expect that a rural town like Hoffenheim had luxurious coaching management.

In the 2006-07 season, Hope poached Ralph Rangnick, the "football professor" who was the head coach of Schalke 04 for Hoffenheim Club, and invited former head coach of the hockey national team Bernhard Peters to serve as the sports director of his foundation. Hans Diet Herman, a psychologist of the German national team, was also invited to work part-time in the club.

Bernhard Peters is the former head coach of the German team! And now he is the sports director and youth training director of Hoffenheim; Peters was the coach of the German men's hockey team and seems to have nothing to do with football. In early 2006, the German national team coaching team led by Klinsmann proposed to let Peters become the technical director of the German Football Association. Although the senior executives of the German Football Association finally rejected the proposal and allowed former German international Summer to hold this position, being favored by Klinsmann proved that he was not easy at all. Now in Hoffenheim, Peters can work with his hands and feet.

Flick, the current assistant coach of the German men's national football team, coached Hoffenheim in the 2000-06 season. In the 2005-06 season, Hoffenheim's plan to enter the second division was set again, and the contract was originally signed in to the 2010 Flick season was dismissed; a large part of this was because Flick failed to lead the team to enter the second division, and Hoffenheim's defeat in the previous season was also partly because the weak youth training system made the team lack fresh blood.

Hoffenheim has a strong coaching staff. In addition to Peters, they hired former Schalke 04 head coach Rangnick to become the team's coach; it was also under the leadership of Rangnick that Hoffenheim entered the second division this season.

Before 1989, Hoffenheim had always been a self-entertainment club. In this year, Hoffenheim, who was in the seventh league in Germany, was relegated. Ditma Hope, one of the founders of SAP, a famous European software company that was trained at the youth team of the Ditma Hope Sports Field, began to invest in the club's football career. Since then, Hoffenheim completed six consecutive jumps in less than 20 years. It can be seen how important a stable investor is to professional football.

In 1972, Hope founded a company called SAPAG, which later became Europe's largest software manufacturer. According to information released by Forbes magazine, its personal assets now exceed 2 billion euros and total assets exceed 10 billion euros, ranking 698th on the world's richest man rankings. He chose to invest in this team because in the 1950s, he was once the center of Hoffenheim.

In 1991, the team returned to the regional league in Sinsheim. In 1992, Hoffenheim was promoted to the Rhine-Neca Regional League. In the following eight years, the participation level of Hoffenheim Club gradually improved. In the 2000-2001 season, Hoffenheim football team was promoted to the Southern German Regional League, just one step away from the professional German Second Division.

In the just-concluded 2006-07 season, led by Rangnick, Hoffenheim successfully advanced to the German League Two in the 2006-2007 season. However, Hoffenheim was not satisfied, and they wanted to go further!

"Young man, you know we have already entered the second division, and this is a professional league; so, our requirements for players will be getting higher and higher. I admit that we were just a Class C team last season, but now we have to keep improving. So it's very presumptuous, but I have to be responsible for the team, so I want to know what kind of help your players can bring to Hoffenheim?" Peters, Hoffenheim youth team director, asked very seriously in Peters' office.

Xiao Qing, who knows nothing about German, can only sit aside, so that the negotiations can be done well in a civilized manner.

"Mr. Supervisor, my player is 1.85 meters tall. You also see that he is stronger than a bull, so you can believe that he can break away any opponent! Of course, these are not the most important, because my player is not just that. He is a forward, and his height and strength are not necessarily the most important; and my player, I can say that his speed is world-class. If we do a test now, I think his 100-meter score can easily run into 100 seconds five, although we

I haven't been in Germany for a long time, and although he didn't have a good rest!" Although civilization is not exaggerated, he has also known how to better introduce the characteristics of his players these days. Now he is doing well. "And my players are not only excellent physical fitness, but also have good skills and awareness. Of course, my players are still very young, so he needs to play and he needs more experience, so I think if you can give him more opportunities, he will bring you infinite surprises!"

"I think if you didn't lie to me, then maybe I will give you a trial contract. Of course, if your players perform well enough, we can sign a contract directly." Peters, who looked at the civilization deeply, said. For a youth training manager like Peters, if Xiao Qing is really as outstanding as civilization says, it is definitely very potential; but he also knows that generally speaking, agents will only praise his players as a flower, so Peters will also give some discounts to civilized words in his heart.

"Now I have time, I don't know if your players need to prepare. Maybe we can start some simple tests." Peters finally spoke to the point.

"Mr. Supervisor, my players don't need to rest because they can always ensure their condition. I think we can go to the side of our body now, and I believe he will shock you!" Civilization was quite confident in Xiao Qing's physical fitness, so he said without hesitation.

Xiao Qing is also very confident about physical examinations. In China, many players do not play football well and practice long-distance running with track and field coaches. These are all strange things done under the leadership of the strange Pig Association. The twelve-minute running and retracement running standards are relatively simple, and Xiao Qing, who is said to be using European teams, is also easy to get it. As soon as YOYO becomes a whole in China, Xiao Qing can still easily succeed.

Generally speaking, YOYO runs back for 20 meters and sets up 20 speed indicators for testing endurance. That is to say, from slow to fast, there are 20 different speed indicators. During the test, sound signals are used to control the running speed of the subject. The sound signals are beeping sounds of different rhythms. The faster the signal rhythm, the faster the subject should run.

Of course, Xiao Qing never thought that football players were more paranoid than track and field athletes to practice these things. Perhaps only those players from the Pig Association could think of it, because many outstanding players did not need to practice this at all. However, this also has certain benefits for Xiao Qing, that is, when physical measurements were performed, Xiao Qing did scare all Hoffenheim people!
