BERLIN Carlos Gomez Jersey , Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Times have changed and it will be evident when the 2017 German champion Bayern Munich clashes with TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this Saturday evening.
The "small" club situated near the romantic town of Heidelberg was once regarded as a new rival for the Bavarians in German football. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim has become a fixture in the regular in the country's first division and one that provides talented players for top club's like Bayern and Borussia Dortmund.
Nevertheless, Hoffenheim is still an exciting project and one that, in contrast to many clubs, does not rely on an investor. Quite the opposite to RB Leipzig Andrew Cashner Jersey , which is aiming to break into Europe's elite with the support of Austrian billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz, Hoffenheim's club owner wants his club to be able to be independent.
When making its way up to the Bundesliga in 2008, SAP Software founder and billionaire Dietmar Hopp is said to have invested over 300 million euro. Instead of however aiming to the top, which would have meant spending much more, Hoffenheim regards itself as a club that develops highly talented youngsters. Therefore the club needs to gain transfer income.
Recently Rangers Ferguson Jenkins Jersey , the German internationals Sebastian Rudy and Niklas Suele (20 million euro) joined Bayern Munich from Hoffenheim, like Luiz Gustavo (17 million euro) in 2011. Carlos Eduardo (25 million) once joined former Russian champion Rubi Kazan and just two weeks ago 23-year old Jeremy Toljan (seven million) departed for Borussia Dortmund.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann is the club's most valuable figure as the 30-year-old is regarded to be one of the biggest coaching talents in German football. 2017 Confederations Cup winner Serge Gnabry joined the outfit primarily because of Nagelsmann's ability to bring on up-and-coming players. Gnabry initially signed a contract with Bayern Munich and was immediately loaned out to Hoffenheim to prepare him for the competition in Bayern's world class squad.
Losing players might be a problem for Hoffenheim as the side has to find appropriate replacements. The biggest problem though still lies ahead of the club. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and several European top clubs are said to be interested in signing Nagelsmann in the near future.
"We know it'll be impossible.
