Hoffenheim celebrates victory - grillitsch has to go to the fridge

When TSG 1899 hoffenheim celebrated its successful start in the european league, midfielder florian grillitsch had long since departed.

At half-time, the substituted austrian packed his bags and left the sinsheim stadium for hospital – his wife hannah was in labor. Even without the 25-year-old, fubball bundesliga side roter stern beat belgrade 2-0 (0-0). "Now we hope he has a healthy european cup baby," coach sebastian hoeneb said cheerfully.

Against the serbian champions and 1991 european cup winners, the kraichgauers scored 15 goals in the final. Game on the international stage the second victory. Hoffenheim is now for the time being table leader of group L. Hoeneb was "simply delighted" after his debut in the competition: "we are totally convinced that we can use the european league to promote ourselves."In 2017, TSG failed in the preliminary round, and a year later in the champions league – both under head coach julian nagelsmann.

Christoph baumgartner gives hoffenheim a 1:0 lead after 64 minutes. "The coach said before the game: today you’re going to take a hit!", the 21-year-old offensive man later said enthusiastically. And: "i promised at halftime that i’d get one in for the flo."He denied, however, that he had been chosen as godfather to the offspring of his austrian national team colleague grillitsch: "i have not yet been asked."

Munas dabbur’s goal in stoppage time made everything clear in an empty sinsheim stadium. "We can speak of an absolutely deserved victory. It was definitely a strong performance, especially on defense," said hoeneb.

Andrej kramaric was also allowed to cheer at home on the television about the opening victory. The top goal scorer is in quarantine due to a positive corona test, but in the end found worthy substitutes in the TSG offense. It is unclear whether croatia’s world cup runner-up will be allowed to fly to the second group match at belgian representative KAA gent next thursday.
