From the Country Team To the Rich

In this game, Hoffenheim's opponent is Zurich from Switzerland.

This team can be regarded as a wealthy team in the Swiss Super League, with 13 league titles, 10 Swiss Cup titles, and the feat of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League twice.

However, these are old things. Even though Zurich still has strong competitiveness within the league, it has not performed too well in the European arena.

It can be said that changes in the football market are gradually widening the gap between strong teams and weak teams.

Just like now, Hoffenheim is fourth in the Bundesliga, but they are still eligible to directly participate in the Europa League and are in the first seeded team.

On the other hand, Zurich won the league championship, but they still have to play the play-offs.

This is the result of the UEFA points ranking.

In UEFA's latest league rankings.

The Premier League is number one.

La Liga is next.

Serie A third.

The Bundesliga is in fourth place.

Ligue 1 fifth.

These five teams form the five major leagues.

Of course, there are some controversies about this ranking.

For example, last season's Porto performance was so good, the Portuguese Super League should replace Ligue 1 as one of the new five major league members.

But it may be due to inherent thinking, or it may be some interest obstacles. Although Ligue 1 has not performed well in recent years, he still has not dropped out of the top five leagues.

UEFA's rankings already show the problem.

Hoffenheim is a Bundesliga team, even if it is fourth, UEFA still admits that his competitiveness is stronger than that of Switzerland.

It doesn't matter if you are a rookie, you have no experience in European wars, etc., as long as you get this position, then UEFA will recognize your strength.

As the first team, Hoffenheim get a lot of convenience

For example, they were able to avoid some strong teams in the group stage.

Shaq United is very unlucky. They are in Group F with the Red Factory of the Premier League and CSKA of the Russian Super League. This is the real group of death.

Hoffenheim has little experience in this group, but its strength is undoubtedly strong.

After all, the fourth place in the Bundesliga has shown a lot of problems, and this is not just a luck factor.

 …

"Here is the Arena Stadium. The first match of Group A of the Europa League in the 2018/2019 season is about to start, Hoffenheim VS Zurich."

Polly's passionate voice was transmitted in all directions through the speakers in the dome.

"First of all, the starting line-up for Hoffenheim."

Hoffenheim:

Goalkeeper: Ledomy.

Defenders: Ross Griman, Taydal, Rodimna, Cork Villa.

Midfielders: Habr, Rudimode, Ranier.

Forwards: Leo, Jamie, Ibstruij.

"Mr. Steven formed the most confident 4-3-3 formation, but there have been some changes in the lineup. Rodimna and Keke Villa, who just joined this season, appeared on the field and replaced them. Fan Chenggong and Silva's position."

"I think we are no strangers to these two players."

"As the main players of Meazza Milan and the King's Society, they performed extremely well last season, and this is why we chose them."

"It's just that I didn't expect their debut to be in the Europa League, not the league!"

After expressing his point of view, Polly raised doubts.

Generally speaking, they practice in a stable and familiar league and put them in the European war.

But Steven is planning to train directly in the European war?

Of course, this is because he doesn't understand the internal situation.

Rodimna and Cork Villa integrated the team very quickly, and both of them have experience in passing and controlling, and quickly adapted to Hoffenheim's tactics.

The most important thing is that their state is much better than Fan Chenggong and Silva.

After all, both of them are old, and their physical indicators are declining.

On the other hand, Rodimna and Keke Villa are at their peak and have a certain understanding of the European war.

Zurich:

Goalkeeper: Breche.

Defenders: Omerak, Keyets, Elliday, Dag Wiley.

Midfielders: A. Marchesano, Dubia, Helife, Watanabe Nanxiong, Dzema Yili.

Forward: Bolero.

Seeing the lineup, Polly explained; "Zurich still maintains a relatively conservative formation!"

In fact, 4-5-1 can also be transformed into 4-2-3-1, which cannot be called a conservative formation.

But compared to Zurich's rampant 3-4-3 formation in the league, this is considered conservative.

After all, Zurich can be regarded as a midfielder who is afraid of Hoffenheim, so they have 5 midfielders for this purpose.

"What we need to pay attention to is Zurich's No. 8 Japanese player Watanabe Nanxiong and No. 6 Teema Yili."

"These two players are the engine of this team. Most of Zurich's offenses are launched from the feet of the two. How to contain the two and control the rhythm is something Steven needs to consider."

Listening to Polly's words, Hoffenheim fans are also looking for information online.

George clacked and collected and searched for information, surrounded by a group of people.

"Isn't it? So strong? The combined assists of Watanabe Nanxiong and Zhema Yili are almost forty!"

"And that Bolero, who scored 41 goals in a single season? Is Ruichao so good at scoring goals?"

George held his head, feeling a little uneasy looking at the data.

The fans on the side also discussed in one go:

"I checked this Watanabe Nanxiong. He played in the Premier League before, and then went to Ruichao. Now that he has landed in the five major leagues, his skills are worthy of recognition, but it is a bit exaggerated regardless of this data!"

"Zema Yili, he is a Swiss international. Have you forgotten the European Cup last year?"

"Bolero is also very strong, with 41 goals in a single season, this is a monster!"

When everyone was wailing, Lawrence on the side suddenly roared; "Stop arguing, it's better to shout two more slogans if you have the time."

"What's wrong with the beautiful data? Don't forget that it is Ruichao. They are not in the top 20 of UEFA. Is this the same as the strength of the Bundesliga?"

"Don't look at their stats, we'll be gone!"

After shouting, Lawrence turned around angrily and looked at the court with a flat expression, but his toes tapped the ground hastily, showing the restlessness in his heart.

After all, this is Hoffenheim's first European game!

They have too little experience.

Do not! No experience at all!

Now they can only grope forward, without a general understanding of the strength of the major leagues.

I don't know what kind of moisture is behind this gorgeous data.

Anyway, this data really looks scary.

At this time, players from the two teams had already stepped up on the court.

Everyone has a close-up shot, and it can be seen that the expressions of the Hoffenheim players are extremely dignified.

In contrast, the Zurich players seemed relatively calm.

It seems that Hoffenheim is playing away.
