The team's poor record in the new season has made Rangnick very worried. It can be said that Rangnick was very ambitious this season. Although he had never thought that the team could complete the upgrade this season, he felt that the team could still achieve considerable results this season.

Hoffenheim's boss has long-term plans. He is willing to invest a lot in the team. He is willing to see the team upgrade the lineup step by step. In this summer, the team's boss' investment of nearly 20 million euros is definitely a big deal; and the team's midfield and frontcourt this season has indeed made great progress in book strength.

In Rangnick's plan, what the team needs this season is to complete the upgrade in the midfield and frontcourt, and the team now needs to adapt to the style of the Bundesliga; and next season, after the team has accumulated a season of experience in the Bundesliga and has enough experience this season, then next season, the team is the best time to transform the backcourt and level up.

But now it seems that although the current team cannot be said to be a failure, it can also show to a certain extent that the team's previous plan needs some changes, because it is very likely that the team's plan for the first phase will be a failure.

In the first few games of the new season, Hoffenheim was unable to win a game, largely because they had significant loopholes in the defense of the midfield and backcourt, and continual conceding of goals was an important reason why Hoffenheim always lost. However, the performance of the forwards who were highly anticipated was also a major reason for the team's loss. Once the forwards cannot restrain their opponents, their opponents can naturally put on a large-scale attack without any pressure at this time.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Hoffenheim's forward line needs to be strengthened and transformed this season; whether it is Edu, Demba, and Vedad Ibisekic, their personal abilities are good, but they obviously lack cooperation, and they are not very familiar with Hoffenheim's tactics. As for Tomislav Maric, he often appears as a locker room leader or assistant coach; while Kai Hesse has only been to Hoffenheim for one season, and now Hoffenheim seems to have plans to send him away.

Although the transfer window has not been closed yet, and although Hoffenheim's current signing work has not been completely over, Rangnick now does feel the pressure. He must ensure that the team can win in the next game, and he must ensure that the team cannot completely fall behind at the beginning of the season. Hoffenheim's goal this season is not to relegation, and they must find a way to win at this time.

Hoffenheim's current forward line has basically used up the team's transfer funds this season, so now Rangnick must tap its potential within the team; if the three forwards can find form in the next game, if the team's forwards can form a good internal competition, then Rangnick will naturally feel the best. But now, although Rangnick still has confidence in them, he must urge these players to have more urgency, and he must let these players find their form as soon as possible.

The German Second Division teams do not have so many technical requirements. This is not only because the physical strength of low-level games is relatively high, but also because German football does not have too many foot skills. After all, this is just the German Second Division. Technology that requires too high demands is unrealistic for many players. Now they don’t need the game scene to be pleasing to the eye. Being able to win the game is their greatest pursuit.

Rangnick felt that his requirements for the team might be lowered. What they need more now is the magic weapon to defeat the enemy, which is the key to satisfying the fans. He felt that his tactics would need some changes, and too complex tactics and exquisite cooperation were not suitable for Hoffenheim for the time being.

"Benhard, how are the two young men you introduced to me before now? I think I may need to make some supplements to the team now." Hoffenheim's head coach Rangnick had a headache. The three main strikers of his team are in very ordinary state, and the team's youth training system is just starting out, but at this time, you can only make it temporarily if you want to tap your potential internally. As the former Schalke 04 coach, Rangnick, who is only 47 years old, is undoubtedly the representative of the young coach. He is a head coach who is easy to get along with. His personality is relatively easy-to-have. Especially although he and Peters have just come to the team, they are both important members of the team's coaching staff, so they have more contact.

"Man, I know the team is in a certain difficulty now, but I believe you can help the team win. After all, we just made a large-scale adjustment to the team's lineup. I know it takes time, so don't have too much pressure, I believe you can win!" Peters patted Rangnick's shoulder and comforted.

"Man, I know that the team's signing is not enough to satisfy you, but I think although these two guys are doing well in the reserve team now, I think their help to the team should be quite limited. The progress of that Chinese boy is quite obvious, but I think he still cannot meet the team's requirements for the time being. His physical fitness is great, but his basic skills are still a bit insufficient. I think his awareness on the court still needs to be improved." Rangnick said, pointing to Xiao Qing, who was doing basic skills training over and over again on the court.

"Of course I know that his strength cannot meet my requirements for the time being, but Bernhard, I must admit that I was too optimistic at the beginning of the season. I originally thought that our team only needed three strikers, and they had the ability to break through any German second team goal. But now it seems that I will not doubt their ability. They said I strongly advocate signings; but I think they now need not only to adapt to new tactics, but they also need to find some motivation." Rangnick said with a wry smile.

Although his main energy was to focus on the first team during this period, he still cared about the team's reserve strength; he knew a little about the Chinese boy who had been in the team for more than a month. Although he could not speak, that guy always relied on body language to amuse the team's players. And I have to admit that the guy has great physical fitness and his progress is quite obvious now; but unfortunately, he is a little older, otherwise Rangnick would believe that the Chinese boy would definitely achieve greater achievements on the court.

"Your consciousness hopes to use this kid to put some pressure on our forwards?" Peters could naturally guess what Rangnick meant. Of course, he knew that even if Xiao Qing was transferred to the first team, his greater role was to give the team's forwards a sense of urgency.

"It's not pressure, it's motivation!" Rangnick, who shrugged, said stubbornly.

"Okay, then I'll let him go to the first team to report tomorrow. But it's better to train with the first team, so he may be able to make more obvious progress. I think this kid has good physical fitness, and he is really working hard to improve himself, so give him a chance to see if he can give us more surprises." Peters is naturally the one who knows Xiao Qing the most in the coaching team. He sees Xiao Qing's efforts during this period; maybe Xiao Qing is a lively treasure off the court, but once faced with training, Xiao Qing's attitude decided to be one of the top in the team. For young people who work hard like this, Peters thinks that they may be able to give them more opportunities.

Rangnick continued to start his work. Xiao Qing was just a warning he used to urge the team's forwards. He actually didn't have too high expectations for Xiao Qing. He still hoped that his three main forwards could find the state of the game. They were the key to Hoffenheim!

Now, the transfer window is about to close, and Hoffenheim's recruitment work has basically been settled; now Rangnick must sort out the cards in his hand, so that he can ensure that the team's combat effectiveness can be released to the greatest extent.

Moreover, Hoffenheim, who has lost three rounds of the league, will soon start their fourth game in the Bundesliga. Their fourth round opponent is Freiburg, who has won, draw and lost in the first three rounds, which is a tough bone!

Since the establishment of the Bundesliga in 1963, Freiburg has been in low-group leagues. The team's best results are the 1993 and 2003 Bundesliga champions. Freiburg was promoted to the Bundesliga in 1978 and has maintained a mid-range seat. He won the championship in 1993 and was promoted to the Bundesliga.

In 1997, Freiburg could only win the 17th place and was relegated, but he won the Bundesliga second the following year and returned to the Bundesliga. He stayed in the top league again for four seasons, with the best result being the 2000/01 season and then won the 6th place in the UEFA Cup again. He was not eliminated by the champion Feyenoord until the third lap. Freiburg, who needed to take into account both fronts, could only be relegated in the 16th place in 2002, and won the Bundesliga championship the following season and upgraded to the Bundesliga, but this time he could only be relegated in two seasons in the Bundesliga and ranked 18th place in 2005. He could only win the fourth place in both seasons of the Bundesliga, but he almost failed to upgrade.
