Ihlas Bebou in the form of his life
Ihlas Bebou is one of many factorswhy Hoffenheim can dream of the premier league of football. The lightning-fast striker, two-time goalscorer against the FCA, is currently in the shape of his life and with seven goals this season is the current top scorer for Hoffenheim. “You have to be greedy for goals,” said the former Düsseldorf native of his famous run.
Balance is the key when it comes to shooting on goal
Depending on the marksmanship that is Bebous TSG but not at all. 16 different goalscorers this season show the team’s offensive balance – that’s top of the league. Even the shot on goal of Andrej Kramaric (only two goals) is easily compensated. Hoffenheim can vary in attack at any time and can therefore never be calculated. The newly gained effectiveness speaks for itself: 38 hits after 18 games are a great result.
Goalkeeper Baumann as support for the team
The fact that one or two goals are still too much on the defensive is certainly due to the strong offensive orientation of the Hoffenheim game system. Nevertheless, the defensive network has now stabilized significantly, defensive boss Kevin Vogt is playing a great season as is goalkeeper Oliver Baumann in particular. The interim appointment to the national team gave the former Freiburg native a further boost in performance. Oliver Baumann, who has long been the face of Hoffenheim, recently even advanced to the Bundesliga penalty killer.
The outside lanes as a source of power for the Hoffenheim game
In the meantime, TSG Hoffenheim is also really strong and stable on the outside lanes, the power source of the brisk switching game. On the left, the long-term jumper David Raum with his outstanding performances, next to Vogt, he counts the most ball contacts, even making a steep career leap into the national team. On the right, the former central defender Kevin Akpoguma was “discovered” and repurposed by coach Sebastian Hoeneß as a massive and dangerous winger. Alternatively, the Czech “locomotive“ready: the established one Pavel Kaderabek, which is currently down for several weeks.
Trainer Sebastian Hoeneß has been with the TSG established
Speaking of coaches: Sebastian Hoeneß, a rather calm representative of his field, did not allow himself to be discouraged after the very difficult debut season in Hoffenheim with numerous serious injuries and many corona failures and is now consistently implementing his style. The backing of Alexander Rosen, the director of professional football of the TSGwho always protected the often criticized young coach in his first year and gave him the necessary acclimatization time under normal circumstances.
Verbal flights of fancy are not the thing of the trainer with the famous family name: “All of this is just a snapshot“, so Hoeneß about the current table picture. But he also knows about the potential and the possibilities of his ensemble, which is not frightened by residues: 15 points won the TSGafter being behind this season.
Successful mix of veterans and talents
The likeable former Munich resident pays back heavily for the loyalty of the club management this season, led the highly talented team to the long-desired consistency and thus to the top group. Ultimately, the peace and quiet in Kraichgau paid off all round. Trainer Hoeneß (“We want to play football clearly and simply“) and his exciting team mix of experienced footballers (Kramaric, Dabbur, Rudy, Vogt, Grillitsch, also the strong goalkeeper Baumann) and young talents (Raum, Baumgartner, Posch, Richards, Rutter, Geiger, Stiller) have each other finally found and mix up the Bundesliga vigorously with a fast, determined game.
Continue full throttle football in Hoffenheim
Where’s this going to end? To put it with the new David Raum tattoo: “Living the dream“, in the Kraichgau can go further and rightly from the Champions League to be dreamed of. However, coupled with hard work: “Why do less now?“, so national defender Raum,”Put another shovel on it and continue at full throttle.“
