1899 Hoffenheim 08/09 Thread II - 'The village people'

[SuperJville]

Ermin Zec is said to move to Hoffenheim for 5 Million €. Bosnian player...


The team is in a training camp ! like last season.

YouTube - 1.HNL, 11rnd: Sibenik - Dinamo 2:2

I've seen him in action quite a few times (watch the HNL which is the Croatian first league). He is very underrated there. He is currently 2nd on the goal scorer's list, 1 behind Nikola Kalinic (who is targeted by Lazio Rom). Kalinic scored most of his goals from 11m, while Zec scored them all while playing.

Good Technique, and EXTREMELY fast.
Considered one of the biggest Bosnian Striker Talents currently.

But I don't believe this story TBH..

Croatia's national coach recommends Hrvoje Cale (http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/spieler/24609/hrvoje-cale/profil.html) to Hoffenheim ? :confused:

Where are the experts of that language ? please.

it just says that Hrvoje Cale, after being called up and playing one game for Croatia - is said to be on the move - to Hoffenheim precisely.

If this is true, he would be the 3rd player to get signed by another team after playing 1 game for Croatia.

So the article says that Bilic is basically the one selling them, because he is the one that calls them up.

thanks Superville ! :)

Right now we are linked with so many player's from the south-east europe area I am getting confused at some point. :D


Hoffenheim against Bochum, tomorrow. The weather is made for Hoffeheim. Sanogo is said to watch the game from the bench, and Rangnick as finally said, that he wants to finish Top 5 in Bundesliga.

[berloha]

wtf @ the server ?

[berloha]

New signing ?

RAHIM HAS BEEN LUCKY


Ghana midfielder Ibrahim 'Rahim' Ayew has agreed a three-year deal with German Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim for an undisclosed fee next season.

The 21-year-old's local side Eleven Wise claim is subject to his medicals before the move can be completed.

Rahim impressed Hoffenheim officials at last month's CHAN tournament in La Cote D'Ivoire and led the local national team to win silver.

"I can confirm to you that Rahim is moving to Germany on Sunday for his medicals and then put-pen-to-paper if he passes. We have agreed to the terms of the contract," Wise CEO Jamil Maraby told Ghanasoccernet.com

"When he returns on Thursday, he will then pick up the work here and join the club next season."

He will join compatriot Isaac Vorsah if the deal is completed by the close of next week. Hoffenheim is currently fourth on the Bundesliga table.

Rahim played his rookie season for the Sekondi-based side and helped them to sixth-pace for the first half of the season.


Wow. Another unknown African player for us ! :) I will jump to Africa-forum and ask what kind of player he is !

[berloha]

oops. :D


oh god, 2009 very odd year so far. Maybe we can win at least one match, if Vedo will be fit.

["Eisenfuß" Eilts]

Who to blame for the 0-3?

Your scapegoat Sanogo wasn´t on the pitch. ;)

[BavarianRed]

Hoffenheim without Ibisevic cant do much, the 3-0 loss proved it today, at best they can finish 5th or 6th... ;)

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Then again some of us didn't buy the magic run and were saying the entire time that Hoffenheim would end up at best in Uefa Cup spots.

[The Old Lady Hertha]

They've bottled it fact. Just like Hertha :(

I'll be surprised if they win another game this season judging by their abysmal performance. At least I got one piece of good news this weekend.

[berloha]

Who to blame for the 0-3?


Bochum ! :D

No, that was not very nice from Hoffenheim that day. 2009 has been the worst football year. I am desperate , I am not used not to win since 8 games but I believe in the team (minus San*go) anyway.

I also can't believe that we signed a new keeper in the winter who has played 4 out of 9 games since then, and now we will finish with Rambo, our 'old' goalie who was available when Hoffenheim started that season. :D

[Alex_K]

As someone who has seen a "4-wins-in-28-months-run" I'd give you the advice that getting desperate too soon isn't healthy :D.

:eek:

How did you survive that ? :D Who is your club ?

[Alex_K]

Ah well, you can't change anything anyway so keeping things in perspective is always a good way.

Eintracht Braunschweig (4 wins, 15 draws, 27 losses between 5-8-2005 and 9-21-2007).

[berloha]

Ja, makes sense. Clearly seen under your avatar.

Next game against Karlsruhe. Small derby, I think. Can't wait the season to be finished. ;)

[Equilibrium]

Your next game should be hopefully a sure win for your team. Hopefully that can drive the team to finish on a high and get a UEFA Cup spot for next season.

[footyfan1]

The DFB Disciplinary Committee suspended Hoffenheim's Carlos Eduardo for FIVE MATCHES today for his red card for deliberately elbowing Bochum's Philipp Bönig.


http://mediadb.kicker.de/news/1000/1020/1100/3000/artikel/707252/carlos_rot-1239714071.jpg



Hoffenheim has accepted the suspension, therefore, there will be no appeal.


Eduardo will miss the following Hoffenheim matches:

at Karlsruhe

Hertha BSC Berlin

at Wolfsburg

1. FC Koln

and

at Arminia Bielefeld



Eduardo will return for Hoffenheim's final two matches against FC Bayern and at Schalke 04.

What's the next injury/problem to show up?

[footyfan1]

What's the next injury/problem to show up?

Rangnick will give Sanogo another chance and then rush out on the field to kick his ass when Sanogo's laziness finally drives Rangnick over the edge. :D

[Doc_Aeppler]

What's the next injury/problem to show up?

Its not like a 5 game ban for a player that has just gotten his 3rd red card in one season, all of them for "Tätlichkeiten", is a problem that just "showed up" out of nowhere....

I said it before sometime. Hoffenheim should put their focus back on playing football. That they did quite good. All the diving, foul play and shit doesnt suit them very well at all....

And btw, KSC vs Hoffenheim is NOT a derby...
