The third week of November is another national team break.

Every time he arrived at this time, Shao Jiayi's love was a little silent, although he didn't say it, but Qin Gude knew it very well in his heart.

As a player who was selected for the national team in 2000 and participated in the 2002 World Cup, 2004 and 2007 Asian Cup, although his career in Germany has not been smooth sailing in recent years, he always believes that his skills are enough to represent Chinese players, and his strength is enough to gain a foothold in the national team.

However, in the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers, he only played once before Gao Hongbo took over, and after the new coach took office, he did not even receive a call-up to the national team.

As the national football team was basically confirmed, he finally understood in his heart that he, like Sun Jihai, was not on the list in the heart of this young local coach at all.

But unlike Sun Jihai, who has already aged, he is not yet 30 years old, and he doesn't want to say goodbye to the national team so early. But now he can only hope that his performance in the Bundesliga can impress the somewhat high-spirited manager, and there is nothing he can do other than that-

After each international break, the table of the strong teams in the league tends to rise and fall. But in the 13th round of the Bundesliga on November 21, Ketbus, who had been recuperating for half a month, was beaten by Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena away from home.

Although the defending champions were slaughtered 6-0 by Bremen in the previous round, and Bremen were bloodied by Ivbus earlier, the outcome of the football match was never a simple addition and subtraction and equal substitution, with Wolfsburg proving to the 17 Bundesliga teams with an undisputed victory on their home turf that the crown they had just put on their heads was not elsewhere.

The home team's three goals were all scored by striker Edin Dzeko, in the eyes of the 192cm Dzeko, Botbus's central defender seems old, short, clumsy and slow, he can almost grab a point to attack the goal, with the performance of this game, he successfully increased his personal goals to 10, temporarily ranked first in the scorer list. Last season's Bundesliga Silver Boot and German Footballer of the Year once again managed to catch everyone's attention with his watch, while his teammate Grafit, last season's Bundesliga Golden Boot, was completely overshadowed by his glow.

However, Cottages' backline has rarely been able to come up with a way to deal with such a strong striker, and can only let the opponent beat themselves into a sieve. As for Qin Goode, near the end of the first half, he was stepped on the surface of his foot by Wolfsburg captain Josue, and he was bleeding at that time and had to be substituted.

After taking off his shoes and socks for examination, his injuries were not severe, the wound was very shallow, and after emergency treatment, it had stopped oozing blood, leaving only a blackened bruise on the instep of his foot.

"To wait for the wound to scab over and heal, it will take about five days to a week of treatment and recuperation." Chief team doctor Matthias Heinrich reported to Hoffmann that "at least the next two league games will not be available. ”

Hoffman nodded, not only did he not show a sad face, but leaned over to comfort Qin Goode: "Don't worry about the team's situation, take a good rest for two rounds." ”

The reason why he was so easy was because Cottage Korbs had so good a result, winning seven of them after 13 rounds and finishing seventh in the table with 23 points – even Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are now at their feet......

So Hoffman now has the confidence to let his boys rest for a while, and he even began to plan whether he can take his wife and children to southern Europe for a long vacation in peace during the upcoming winter break.

On November 28, in the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Ketbus, who adopted a rotating lineup, played inextricably with relegation rival Freiburg, and finally drew 1-1.

A week later, on December 7, Cottages, who played in full force, were stung by the recently mediocre "Hornet" Dortmund at the Signall Iduna Park Stadium, Grosskroytz, Barrios, Zidan, Hummels, from striker to midfielder to defender, four players came on in succession, unceremoniously stabbed Ketbus four times in a row, so that Hoffman's attempt to win a point away from home quickly came to naught after the opening 15 minutes.

A defeat wasn't a big deal, but the bad thing was that four key players, including captain Rost, were injured in this game and in pre-match training, and Hofmann was about to start worrying about the line-up at the back.

When Qin Goode, who returned from injury, entered the squad again, it was already the 16th round on December 12. Affected by the sudden wave of injuries, Ketbus's improvised backline was killed by the Hamburg team at home, and the Hamburg team, which had not tasted victory in the past seven league rounds, left a bloody "7-0" for the 20,000 spectators at the Friendship Stadium, and the group of executioners licked their lips with satisfaction, shook their heads and walked away.

Qin Goode watched from the bench as the expressions of Yula, Shao Jiayi, Rivic, Sorensen and other teammates changed from panic to anger, and finally turned to helpless numbness, conceding four goals in 30 minutes, and goalkeeper Tremel even wanted to crash to death on the goal post he was guarding.

Hofmann, who knew that the general trend was gone, did not express too much anger, he just replaced Peterson with a defender, and then replaced Shao Jiayi with a midfielder, trying to curb the momentum of conceding the goal, but the back line that was beaten into a sieve still collapsed, and in the second half he missed three more in one breath, giving the Hamburg team, which has been in a slump recently, a big victory.

On December 20, Ivbus faced Cologne, who were second-to-last in the first half of the tournament, but Chingud had just stepped into the Rheinland Energy Stadium and was about to start warming up when snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Then the snowflakes became bigger, sharper, and denser, and by the time the game officially started half an hour later, he could barely see the opposite goal when he was standing near the midfield.

In such a bad situation, the referee wanted to stop the game at one point, but after 20 minutes, the trend of snow suddenly slowed down, and the sun even penetrated the stadium through the clouds, and the referees gave up the idea of suspension.

However, the slippery field still had a huge impact on both sides, before the end of the first half, the whole stadium has become a muddy vegetable field, each side has a player who left the field because of a slip and injury, many people have reduced the frequency of physical confrontation and sprints, and Shao Jiayi, who has had major ankle surgery, did not dare to run at all, which undoubtedly affected the front court attack of Ketbus.

Qin Goode, who had participated in many snow battles in Manchester City's youth team, did not take the harsh turf to heart at first, but when he broke through with the ball twice and fell on the slippery turf, he did not dare to sprint with all his strength and could only look for opportunities through guò long-range shots.

But Cologne seemed to have anticipated his choice, as they set up two lines of defense near the penalty area, and several of his shots were blocked by defenders, and then immediately launched a quick counter-attack, and after two counter-attacks, Hofmann no longer dared to let his players press heavily to participate in the attack.

Towards the end of the first half, Cologne took advantage of a corner kick to break through the Cottage Scots goal and head into the second half with a one-goal lead.

After the second half, the turf was not much better after a simple grooming, but the game quickly went into the home team's possession, and at one point it became the showtime for Cologne's two strikers.

In the 54th minute, Podolski, who had just been returned by Bayern, went down at high speed and smashed his left foot in the penalty area after receiving a direct plug from his teammates, and immediately crossed in front of the goal after successfully attracting the attention of defenders, and the 30-year-old veteran Novakovic easily extended the score.

Novakovic then took advantage of another corner and headed past Ivbus again.

The visiting team, which was three goals behind, did not surrender until injury time, Shao Jiayi, Qin Gude and others still frequently got up and wanted to blast the home team's goal with a long shot, but in the 15 shots on goal in the whole game, only 2 were on target, and the team's table was difficult for them to save face in front of the home team fans.

After 17 rounds of league matches, Cottages temporarily ranked 10th in the standings with 7 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, 24 points, 29 goals and 35 goals conceded, at least 10 points away from the relegation zone.

Although they also experienced painful defeats such as 0-7 and 0-6, Cottages also gave the fans a wonderful moment to capture Bayern Munich and bloody Bremen, compared to the table Xiàn who was still struggling near the relegation zone at this time last season, the team has moved the fans to tears.

After getting his debut in the fourth round of the league, Qin Goode made a total of 9 appearances, only the debut was as a substitute, and he did not live up to Hoffman's trust, handing over 7 goals and 6 assists, firmly sitting on the throne of the team's top scorer.

Shao Jiayi, who is healthy, also handed over 4 goals and 7 assists, and the team has a good number of assists, and the two Chinese players have almost half of the team's goals and assists.

This makes the Cottage club very happy, the season has not ended, they have been planning to carry out another trip to China during the winter break, taking advantage of the east wind to make another profit, but in the past two years, the world seems to have suddenly entered the ice period, the winter in the northern hemisphere is particularly cold, and the situation in China is not optimistic, in order to avoid causing more injuries to the players, the team has to push the time to make money until the end of the season.

The first team's vacation is not as long as the youth team, and on December 21, Qin Gude and Shao Jiayi flew back to China together.

Before leaving Cottages, the sporting director also re-signed him to a new contract, in which his salary and bonuses were directly doubled, and the appearance fee and the bonus for goals and assists were also nearly doubled.

In the imperial capital, they accepted an interview with CCTV again, because of the good performance of half a season, this time the interview was longer and richer, and the goals and assists of the two of them alone could occupy a 10-minute program time......

Duan Yixuan asked Qin Gude a question in the interview: "You are already very good in the Bundesliga, have you ever thought about entering the national team and competing in the 2011 Asian Cup?" ”

"Of course." Qin Gude nodded without hesitation, but noticed that Shao Jiayi, who was sitting beside him, clenched his fists in an instant, and his slender knuckles reflected a miserable white color.
