Rostock is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, located in northern Germany, with a population of only about 200,000.
This city on the Baltic Sea coast is actually not very big.
Because they are close to the sea and rivers, their shipbuilding and shipping industries are very developed.
It is quite far away from Munich, one is in the north and the other is in the south. The straight-line distance is nearly 660 kilometers, almost running through the entire Germany.
Therefore, if 1,860 people in Munich go to an away game, they have to leave a little early.
Generally, the way to Rostock is either by plane or by train.
Flying obviously saves time and effort, and can also make players less tired. But there is no way. Munich 1860 Club is now in serious financial crisis, so they still take the train. They first set off from Munich to Hamburg, and then took a high-speed train from Hamburg to Rostock.
To be honest, this would take nearly a day in Munich 1860.
Then after they arrive, they have to rest and adjust before training on the field and so on. Therefore, for this away game in Munich 1860, they set off two days in advance and went to Rostock.
Looking at the typical Gothic architectural church outside the window, Tong Yi relaxed a lot.
Before departure, representatives of the German Professional Players Union came to Munich 1860 and found Tong Yi. They questioned Tong Yi face to face and asked Tong Yi to revoke the punishment of Little Hoffman and give Little Hoffman an apology and compensation.
These guys even hope that Tong Yi can publicly admit his mistakes in the media and newspapers and give the German Professional Footballers Union an explanation.
To be honest, Tong Yi was dumbfounded at the time.
Where did these guys get the confidence to make such a request to him?
Seeing little Hoffman's triumphant look, Tong Yi felt very angry. Confronting these guys directly, he claimed that he was following the rules. Little Hoffman will be punished if he makes a mistake, and this is an internal matter of Munich 1860 Club and has nothing to do with your bullshit German Professional Players Union.
The representative of the German Professional Players Union was livid and very angry. His eyes were about to burst into flames as he stared at Tong Yi.
Moreover, Tong Yi also said that he did not completely deduct Hoffman's salary. He will pay little Hofmann a salary based on the average minimum wage in Munich, Germany. Little Hofmann's life is guaranteed. What qualifications do you have to accuse me, Tong Yi? Did I, Tong Yi, do anything wrong?
Hearing what Tong Yi said, the lawyer of the German Professional Players Union frowned and thought to himself.
If it is true as Tong Yi said, they really have no reason to trouble Tong Yi.
However, they won't let it go.
The representative of the German Professional Players Association said bluntly, Tong Yi, are you going to do the right thing with the professional players in Germany and even the world? If not, admit your mistake and apologize as soon as possible.
Tong Yili ignored these guys. In front of these guys, he said coldly to little Hoffman: "Just be obedient and show your warm-up on the bench of the second team. After two years, the contract will be up." When it’s time, you can get out!”
After saying that, Tong Yi ignored these guys and turned around to leave.
Leaving behind a group of angry and crazy guys.
It is said that these guys and little Hoffman did not give up. They went directly to the team's chairman Baker and general manager Stoffels. They hoped that the top management of Munich 1860 would take action and teach Tong Yi a lesson, even Directly firing Tong Yi will make it impossible for Tong Yi to survive in German football.
Tong Yi didn't care about this. He directly signaled the Munich 1860 players to pack up quickly, and then boarded the train to Hamburg directly to challenge Rostock away.
Before leaving, Big Hoffman once again stood up to plead for Little Hoffman.
Tong Yi said calmly: "I will not give any chance to those who are selfish and ignore the interests of the team. I ask you to remember this too. Don't make a mistake then and blame me for not saying anything." Pre."
Big Hoffman's face was ugly. This guy Tong Yi really didn't give him any face. This made the old men of the original team dissatisfied with Tong Yi. They felt that Tong Yi was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys just to gain firm control of the team.
Then, the great Hoffman was left in Munich by Tong Yi and did not follow the team to the away game.
This made the old people of Munich in 1860 even more angry.
In their opinion, the big Hoffman was sitting together.
They even learned from goalkeeper coach Whitman that from now on, the team's No. 1 goalkeeper will be De Gea, who was personally introduced by Tong Yi, and the No. 2 goalkeeper will be Jonah. Hoffman will be completely reduced to the third place. The goalkeeper.
You have to know that Hoffman was still the team's main goalkeeper last season, the old captain.
Hoffmann has been playing for 1860 Munich since 1996, and has been playing for 13 years so far. This is the living fossil of the team, the legendary goalkeeper. How dare you, Tong Yi, treat him like this? Are you going to rebel?
The old people in Munich 1860 have very big opinions on Tong Yi, and some are even planning to release the news to let all fans see how Tong Yi treats the team's meritorious players.
They even hoped to use this to overthrow Tong Yi's tyrant rule.
Tong Yi knew that these old people had strong opinions on him, but Tong Yi didn't care. Now his main task is to lead the team to the top of the Bundesliga 2. As long as he reaches this position, he will be able to secure the position of head coach of Munich 1860.
If he really leads Munich 1860 to promotion this season, then no one can shake his coaching position.
Therefore, the most important thing for Tong Yi at present is the performance of the team.
Now he has arrived in Rostock, preparing to face the second round of the Bundesliga.
To be honest, the strength of the Rostock team is about the same as that of Koblenz. Last season, the two teams had the same number of points in the Bundesliga 2, both with 38 points. Rostock ranked ahead of Koblenz due to the winning-loss relationship and superior goal difference.
But to be honest, their team may not be stronger than Koblenz.
Last season, Rostock won only 8 games in the Bundesliga 2, only more wins than relegated Wen and Ingolstadt, and the same number of wins as relegated Osnabruck. Koblenz won 11 games last season, so Rostock is really not strong.
At the beginning of the Bundesliga season, Rostock, like 1860 Munich and Koblenz, was selected by media reporters and football celebrities as the favorites for relegation from the Bundesliga this season.
Therefore, Rostock is really not strong.
Of course, in the eyes of media reporters and football celebrities, Rostock is still stronger than Munich 1860, no matter how strong it is. In their eyes, Munich 1860 is a relegated team, and they firmly occupy a relegation spot. The same cannot be said for Rostock, they may still have hope of relegation.
At this time, outside media have predicted a game in Zhejiang.
Although at the end of the last round, Munich 1860 defeated Koblenz 5-2, they still have the same strength as Bu Renwei's Munich 1860. That game was just a matter of luck for Munich 1860. If it happened again, it would be impossible for Munich 1860 to defeat Koblenz.
In the last round of competition, Koblenz's head coach Rappold underestimated Tong Yi and underestimated his opponent, which is why he lost the game.
In this game, if the Rostock people pay attention to Munich 1860, they will definitely win.
Even some betting companies are more optimistic about Rostock and believe that Rostock will win this game.
Of course, the local fans in Rostock think so too. They feel that their team's strength has been strengthened this season, although in the first round they lost 1-3 away to Bielefeld. But they were unlucky in that game. They created more scoring opportunities, but unfortunately they lacked a little luck.
They even believe that if the last round of the game was played at home, they would have won.
Today, they play at home and Rostock must win.
At this time, many media reporters flocked to the training base in Rostock. They all went to interview Rostock personnel and asked them what they thought of a game in Zhejiang.
Rostock head coach Andreas Zachhuber said in an interview with media reporters: "We are very well prepared for this game, and my players are gradually entering the best state. Jia, I am naturally very confident about this game and I believe in my players.”
Zachhuber is not just pretending, but exudes confidence from the inside out.
The media reporters at the scene could clearly feel it.
Chachhuber continued: "The loss in the last round reminded us and sounded the alarm for us. If we cannot enter the league status as soon as possible, we will most likely have to lose this season. Relegated. Therefore, we have trained very hard this week, and my players have made a lot of comebacks. Now they are in a very good state, and I am confident that we can beat any opponent."
See, this is the self-confidence of Rostock people.
Media reporters also asked him about his views on Munich 1860 and Tong Yi.
Zachhuber said: "Munich 1860 has undergone tremendous changes since last season. Their lineup is younger and more impactful. These are good things. However, their players this season are too young. , their experience and ability to withstand pressure are definitely insufficient, which will become the absolute reason for the collapse of Munich 1860. Therefore, in my opinion, the relegation of Munich 1860 this season is determined."
Last season, Munich 1860 was also the favorite for relegation. They were only one place higher than Rostock in the final ranking, with only one more point.
This season, Munich 1860 has undergone such big changes and introduced so many young people to play the main role. Isn't this digging your own grave?
In Chachhuber's view, what relegation teams need are older players with experience and resilience, so that they can make it to the end in the difficult relegation environment. Those young people lack the ability to withstand pressure and lack experience. How can they complete such an extremely cruel task of avoiding relegation?
Therefore, Zachhuber is very unfavorable to Munich 1860.
He said: "Munich 1860 has been relegated this season, and their head coach Tong Yi, to be honest, is really young, very young. But it is precisely because he is too young that he does not understand the relegation battle. Cruel. Therefore, he is not a suitable head coach for Munich 1860. As for his strength, I don’t know much because I have not played against him. But one thing I know very well is that in this game, I must Win!"
