209 entered the winter break

Ingolstadt is a small town on the north side of Munich, smaller than Freiburg, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, but because it is the headquarters of Audi, it is known as Audi City.

At the beginning of the season, the small team that was poached by Red Bull suffered back-to-back defeats, but the newly appointed Valpurgis led Ingolstadt on a counter-offensive in November, grabbing 10 points.

In particular, in the first two rounds, they defeated RB Leipzig 1-0 at home and Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 away.

So when Ingolstadt confronted Freiburg, the story of the white sausage began to circulate again.

Before Ingolstadt played RB Leipzig in the 14th round, Bayern President Rummenigge promised that if Ingolstadt could beat RB Leipzig and help them hold back the opponent, he would send Ingolstadt "a cart of white sausages", and after the game, he also kept his promise and personally sent 80 white sausages and sea salt bagels to the Ingolstadt players and staff.

So in the face of Bayern's competitors again, not only did the media bring up the old things, but even Ingostadt fans joked:

"Rummenigge should know the address where to deliver the white sausages."

Ingolstadt fans were full of self-confidence after winning two games in a row, but they soon discovered that things were not so rosy.

On December 21, just two minutes into Ingolstadt's match against Freiburg, Sunset's run went straight to the middle, and center forward Wagner carried central defender Roger and let the ball shoot to take the away goal.

Sunset didn't play as cumbersome and slowed down as Ingostadt coach Valpurgis had expected, and their midfielders Morales and Coe had enough time to make up for the defense, but played succinctly, clearly, spotting the loopholes around Wagner and sending a simple and rough through ball directly on the run.

Valpurgis' idea is to harass Sunset with their Aussie Clippers No. 7 Matthew Leckie, and then have defenders like midfielders form a second and third line of defense to defend Sunset. But unexpectedly, Sunset quickly got out of the misunderstanding and insisted on her simple and reasonable way of playing. As soon as he found that Wagner was in a good position, he immediately passed the ball directly. Wagner, on the other hand, had a good foot and scored with the first shot, and Ingolstadt, who mainly relied on defensive counter-attacks, was in trouble.

Sunset's game was very relaxed, everything was still the most accustomed to playing with his strengths, and without the burden of performance and performance, he could run, pass, and pass, but some long passes that were not well grasped in the past were also played smoothly.

When Sunset is normal, Freiburg's offense is normal, and his teammates know how to cooperate and how to play. When Sunset excels, Ingolstadt can't stand Freiburg's interspersing and pulling.

In the 26th minute, Sunset suddenly dribbled forward, attracting the attention of Ingolstadt's defense in the middle, and suddenly crossed to the right in front of the penalty area, and Stenzel went down at high speed, and then crossed, Wagner grabbed the header and scored.

Ingolstadt, who was two goals behind, was in an impatient mood, and his defensive actions began to become rough, but also because of his eagerness to attack, he left many holes and empty crotch in the back, which was even more beneficial to the afterglow who was best at seizing opportunities in this regard.

In the 56th minute, Grifo used the afterglow to attract most of the opponent's attention in the middle, and faked the defender Matip on the left flank and rushed directly into the Ingolstadt penalty area.

After bursting into the box, Grifo once again used the afterglow to make a feint, but he actually swept in front of goal.

Wagner squeezed past centre-back Roger again to steal the spot, and stabbed in front of goal to complete the hat-trick with ease.

As soon as the third goal was lost, even the Ingolstadt fans admitted the reality of defeat, and the Freiburg fans on the expedition even put up a slogan with the slogan "If you want to eat white sausages, go buy them yourself".

In the 16th round before the winter break, the leading Bayern Munich and Freiburg both won 3:0 and accumulated 37 points, and the score entanglement will continue until 17 years, and it is possible to have a result after the top two compete in the 17th round.

After the game, Sunset met with Thomas, the economist who went to Ingostadt, and Thomas was here for Nie Lei's business. Nie Lei played well in the Southern League, scoring 8 goals in 17 rounds. Especially in the last two rounds, Sunset's personal coaches Lucas and Baker have used data analysis, opponent technical analysis, and opponent psychological and behavioral analysis to support him, and have scored three goals in two games.

Therefore, Ingolstadt, who has been a little weak in attack, has set his sights on Nie Lei, and is willing to bring in Nie Lei from Lazelddorf in the winter transfer period for 1.8 million euros, and Thomas, who is also Nie Lei's agent, is here to deal with the transfer.

Also given the opportunity were Wang Yifan and Gu Shuo. Wang Yifan, who has played two games in the German Cup and has one goal and one assist, is favored by the German second team Fürth, while Radolfzell, who has made a fortune from Nie Lei, wants to get Gu Shuo.

However, the transfer of the two of them will involve domestic clubs, which will be more troublesome.

Lucas and Baker, who have proven their new technology in football, want to set up a new technology service company to research and provide services on the application of data and football psychology in football training and games. The company will be invested by Sunset, with Lucas and Baker holding 30% of the shares, and only Sunset and Nie Lei will serve the four of them for the time being.

For this winter break, Lucas and his team have made detailed plans to go to Miami for a new training session after Christmas.

This company has also aroused great interest from Thomas Dassler, who has offered to take a stake in this company several times, and the reason why he met with Sunset after the game was to see if he could get involved in it, in addition to informing Nie Lei of his transfer progress.

Sunset doesn't want to complicate the planned company too much with an uncertain future, so she pushes down Thomas's request again, but promises him that if it proves to work, the company will be the first to accept his investment when it expands.

The team that returned to Freiburg with a victory was warmly welcomed by the fans, and the festive atmosphere and the team's good results were intertwined to make everyone happy. However, because Christmas is a very private holiday in Germany, the club did not arrange much group celebrations, and after returning to Freiburg, a simple gathering with the family at noon began the holiday.

For Sunset, the Bundesliga winter break was invaluable to him, as the fierce confrontation and pace brought him to the limit mentally and physically for his first time in the Bundesliga, and the timely rest and adjustment came at the right time.

From this point of view, there is definitely a reason why Asian players are more comfortable in the Bundesliga.
