After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

This news spread like wildfire throughout Germany.

The following day, as the morning sun shone on the streets of Sinsheim, the whole of Germany was plunged into an unprecedented upheaval.

Photos and videos of the attack on the Hoffenheim team bus have gone viral on social media.

The shattered car windows, the punctured tires, the shards of glass scattered on the ground, and the images of police escorting these people all stirred up strong emotions among the German public.

Bild was the first to report the incident on its front page: "Hoffenheim players narrowly escaped becoming prey after advancing in the Champions League!"

The accompanying photos show a bus that was smashed beyond recognition, and Nagelsmann standing by the roadside with a somber expression.

Kicker, on the other hand, directly titled it "A Tense Night for German Football," detailing the events and emphasizing:

"Hoffenheim is not only the dark horse of the Bundesliga, but also one of the hopes of German football in this season's Champions League. However, our heroes were treated so brutally when they returned."

The news quickly went viral, and major German television stations urgently adjusted their programming to broadcast the story.

Commentators, football legends, and sociologists from various fields were invited to the studio to discuss the profound impact of this event.

These migrants came from diverse backgrounds; some had struggled to make ends meet, while others were simply trying to survive.

This is not a single problem.

Many football fans were scathing in the televised debate: "Our football players should be protected. We can't let them down. They just came back from the Champions League; nobody expected something like this to happen!"

Many German media outlets shouted slogans directly at the rally:

"Look at what Hoffenheim is going through! This is the consequence of letting vagrants run rampant!"

Faced with overwhelming public pressure, Aunt Mo had no choice but to respond this time.

She has to take on this responsibility.

She stated at the press conference: "We are deeply shocked and outraged by what happened to the Hoffenheim players; violence is absolutely intolerable."

However, such a statement clearly failed to quell the anger of football-loving Germans.

On social media, hashtags such as #ProtectOurPlayers and #GermanyIsNoLongerSafe quickly became trending topics.

Beyond this storm, German football has shown unprecedented unity, especially in the Bundesliga.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich were the first to release a statement on their official website: "We are outraged by what happened to the entire Hoffenheim team. Football should be a symbol of joy and competition, not a target of violence."

Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, and other top Bundesliga clubs followed suit, expressing their support for Hoffenheim.

Dortmund CEO Watzke even publicly suggested, "If needed, we can immediately provide Hoffenheim with a bus."

The most touching story is that of the Stuttgart club.

Despite being fierce rivals from the same state as Hoffenheim, they still wrote on their official Twitter account: "Football brings us all together. The entire Stuttgart community stands with Hoffenheim."

In addition to external statements, Hoffenheim, as a victim, has also made its own statement.

Hoffenheim club president Dietmar Hopp could not hide his anger in an interview with Der Spiegel:

"This is absolutely absurd! My players bring glory to German football in the Champions League, and now they have to face this kind of danger upon returning home? We absolutely cannot tolerate this happening!"

His speech resonated widely.

Baden-Württemberg Governor Kretschmann acted swiftly that same day, personally visiting the Hoffenheim training ground to extend his regards to the entire team.

At the press conference, he solemnly promised: "The state government will fully compensate the club for a new bus and strengthen security checks on the team's travel routes."

What surprised the players even more was that Krejmann was a die-hard Hoffenheim fan.

When he visited the club, he made a special trip to Yan Yuan and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

"Yan, your performance against Liverpool was absolutely brilliant! It was your winning goal that propelled us into the Champions League group stage. The entire state of Baden-Württemberg is proud of you!"

Yan Yuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Governor. We just did what we were supposed to do."

As the discussion deepened, the impact of the incident far exceeded the realm of football, evolving into a nationwide reflection on social security in Germany.

In the town of Sinsheim, where Hoffenheim is located, residents spontaneously organized themselves and hung banners supporting the team outside the Hoffenheim training base.

An elderly fan, with tears in his eyes, told reporters, "These kids bring us so much joy on the football field; we must never let them live in fear."

Although this incident has indeed cast a shadow, it has also shown the world a warmer side, with the heroic assistance of community residents, the united support of the football community, and the spontaneous actions of ordinary people. This at least shows that justice still exists.

As one of the people who experienced the incident firsthand, Yan Yuan was also somewhat unaccustomed to it. He had never encountered such a problem in England or France, and this was truly the first time he had encountered it in Germany.

Fortunately, things have come to a relatively smooth end.

When Yan's parents saw the news in the UK, they immediately called their son to confirm his safety. Yan's mother was so worried that she almost cried.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. If it weren't for Yan Yuan and his father's constant persuasion, Yan's mother, for safety reasons, might have made Yan Yuan immediately go back to Birmingham to help her manage the restaurant.

Playing football is physically demanding, who would have thought that something so life-threatening would happen?

……

Hoffenheim's bad luck is sometimes so bad it leaves you speechless.

Having just achieved a miracle in the Champions League qualifiers, he was attacked by thugs upon returning home;

Shortly after this incident, just when the team was finally able to rest for a while, the second round of the Bundesliga was about to begin, and it was a tough away game against Bayer Leverkusen.

This is a pharmaceutical company, a formidable team known for its high-intensity pressing and rapid counter-attacks.

To make matters worse, the team bus was smashed to pieces, the new bus that was temporarily brought in was not yet fully adapted to, and Liverpool's form after the match had not yet fully recovered.

The players' physical and mental states were affected to varying degrees.

Assistant coach Cramer couldn't help but complain during the tactical meeting.

"Coach, this schedule is absolutely ridiculous! We just finished the Champions League qualifiers, and 48 hours later we have to play Bayer Leverkusen? Did UEFA and the German Football Association conspire to mess with us?"

Nagelsmann rubbed his temples but didn't reply.

He stared at the tactics board for a long time before finally making a new decision: Yan Yuan would not start this game, and was not even included in the substitute list.

When he told Yan Yuan about this decision, he was completely stunned.

"No??? Coach, I'm really fine! I'm perfectly alright!!" Yan Yuan immediately retorted, his eyes wide open, even bigger than usual.

"I'm in great shape, I'm perfectly ready to play!"

Nagelsmann had anticipated this response and smiled slightly: "Alright, Yan, I know you're fine, but this is a tactical arrangement."

Yan Yuan looked puzzled.

"Tactical arrangements? Coach, don't we need to attack even more when playing against Leverkusen? Do you think my attacking ability isn't good enough? If not, I can come on as a substitute, even if it's just for the last five minutes."

"Yan, the team does need offense, but not now," Nagelsmann said gently, patting Yan Yuan on the shoulder.

"Listen to me patiently, son. First, you just finished playing in the Champions League, so you need to carefully review the game and summarize the lessons learned."

Secondly, you're only 17 years old and have just experienced something like a bus attack; you need to adjust psychologically.

Yan Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but Nagelsmann patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the league is still long. This is only the second round. You'll have plenty of opportunities to play in the future."

Besides reviewing the matches, your task also includes attending academic classes at a professional school to refresh your mind.

Yan Yuan: "..."

This time, he was truly speechless.

He ultimately didn't insist, but as he left the office, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"I'm perfectly fine..."

Indeed, Yan Yuan's mental fortitude is much stronger than most people imagine.

He was one of the calmest people on the team when the attack occurred; the subsequent media frenzy did not cause him to lose his composure.

He even feels that he wants to play more now than ever, to respond to all the noise with football.

But the coach's decision is a decision, and Yan Yuan had no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling he was.

So, while his teammates were busy preparing for the match against Leverkusen, Yan Yuan sat alone in the video analysis room, carefully reviewing every detail of the game against Liverpool.

His post-game analysis is always excellent, with his notebook filled with notes on timing of runs, passing choices, and defensive weaknesses.

Occasionally, he would stop, stare at the screen, frown in thought, and then suddenly write down a few lines as if he had just realized something.

"This should have been sent a few seconds earlier..."

"I'll definitely see through Salah's feint next time..."

He was so focused on reviewing the game that he lost track of time until Cramer came in and reminded him.

"Yan, it's time to go to your academic class."

"Coming right away, sir." Yan Yuan then closed his notebook, grabbed his bag, and walked out.

The courses at the vocational school were not difficult for him, and his academic grades had always been excellent, especially in mathematics and language subjects.

Today's lesson was on modern German history, and the teacher happened to mention "social integration and immigration policy."

The entire class turned to look at Yan Yuan without prior arrangement, after all, he had just personally experienced this "real-world" version of a social issue.

Yan Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything more, then lowered his head to continue taking notes.

After school, he walked back to the training base alone. The setting sun cast long shadows, and the shouts of his teammates during training could be heard in the distance.

Yan Yuan stopped and looked in the direction of the court, letting out a soft sigh.

"What bad luck..."

He was in excellent form, but could only be a spectator; he wanted to prove something with football, but was forced to press the pause button.

"System, do you think I'm unlucky?" Yan Yuan asked the system in his mind.

The system replied: "You have to eat one bite at a time, and fill in the holes one by one. The strength you build up during bad times will be useful when you win next time."

"I've learned a lot. Thank you so much this time, truly from the bottom of my heart."

Yan Yuan felt comforted.
