When the fourth official raised the sign of No. 20 Obasi to replace No. 33 Eduardo, Eduardo couldn't believe his eyes, although his performance was not too good, but he thought he was the best player in Hoffenheim's frontcourt, and the two victories made Eduardo think that he was the biggest contributor to Hoffenheim's victory, but now he was about to be replaced, and he was replaced by the blue-collar worker Obasi in his eyes. Eduardo didn't know why, he angrily took off his shirt and walked off the field, and did not shake hands with Obasi on the sidelines, only making Obasi hold his hand there in embarrassment. Seeing this, Rangnick didn't say anything, but glanced at Marko, who immediately went over and put a dress on Eduardo, for it was still cold in February in Germany.

Eduardo was not a man who had to hold his breath in his stomach, and he immediately said to Marco: "Coach, why change me, doesn't the team want to win?" ”

Marko smiled: "Carlos, don't worry, you are carrying a yellow card now, Coach Rangnick is worried that you will eat another one, so you will miss the next battle against Karlsruhe, that game is more important than this one, you are an indispensable member of the team, you will be indispensable in the next game." ”

After all, Eduardo is still young, he is still a guy who likes to listen to flattery, and his anger disappeared after listening to Marco's words, but he still said sheepishly: "The referee is rubbish, he actually gave me a yellow card, now I hope Li Huan will be powerful, the stadium is too small, we need a big stadium." The field is full of people, how to pass the ball. ”

Marko said: "Didn't you hear Mr. Hope, the new stadium will soon be built in Sinsheim, and it will be able to accommodate 30,000 people, which is six times the current stadium. ”

"I don't know when it will take to use it." Eduardo said sullenly.

"Don't worry, our task now is to qualify for the Bundesliga, believe in your teammates, Li Huan has always liked to be powerful at this time, the first half of the game was like this, no matter how tenacious the opponent is, he can't stop his free kicks and long-range shots."

When the two were talking, there was a cheer on the court, it turned out that after Obasi came on the field, he created a good opportunity, he and Demba Ba's combination of black wind and double evil made Rostock a headache, although Hoffenheim's cooperation is still rusty, but the two black players have excellent physical fitness, and their individual skills are still much stronger than those of the German B players, and the players of Rostock can deal with players like Eduardo but cannot deal with two black people like Drogba, and the back line was once tight. Due to Hoffenheim's withdrawal of Eduardo, there are only three players in the midfield, and the focus of the attack is on the three forwards, Li Huan has reduced a lot of obstacles when he kills on the side, Sebastian and Bartels can't stop Li Huan's charge, Li Huan began to get the opportunity to cross on the side, Li Huan's accurate pass made the role of Obasi and Demba Ba more obvious, Rostock's penalty area was full of rumors, and Li Huan's every sprint along the side made Rostock's fans and players tremble.

Pagelsdorf couldn't help but start to make on-field adjustments to the players on the field, he didn't have the courage to change people in the first half of Rangnick, they didn't have a good bench like Hoffenheim, Obasi sitting on the bench was worth 5 million, and he only spent 600,000 on the entire transfer during the winter break, can it be compared? Even just a little more than half of the transfer fee for Ibisevic, who is still sitting on the bench.

Rostock's defensive center of gravity shifted to the left, and the players all moved to the left wing, guarding against Li Huan's bottom and attacking Li Huan's back. However, to Pagelsdorf's surprise, Hoffenheim's youngster Weiss defended very well behind Li Huan, almost all the passes that wanted to hit Li Huan were cut off by him, and all the passers were destroyed by him, he ran tirelessly, and his figure of more than one meter seven seemed to contain infinite energy, and his coverage was not only on the right side of his side, but even the middle was part of his jurisdiction. His defender Li Huan's attack on the opponent's left side was more relaxed, Li Huan and Weiss were almost like switching positions, he continued to use speed and technique to tease the nerves and patience of the opponent's left midfielder Bartels and left back Sebastian, at this time Eduardo, who was sitting on the field, was also surprised to see Li Huan easily pass the opponent's defender with no less than the technical movements of the Brazilian, and he couldn't help but say to the relaxed head coach Rangnick: "Li Huan's skills are so good, why don't you let him play in the midfield?" ”

Rangnick wanted to take the opportunity to teach the proud Brazilian a lesson: "He doesn't want to be midfielder because he feels like he can contribute more to the team as a defender. can help the team on both offensive and defensive ends, Li Huan's skills are no worse than yours, but he rarely plays fancy moves, unless the team is ahead by a big score. ”

If you take other people as an example, of course Eduardo will not be convinced, he often despises Demba Ba's skills in public, saying that Demba Ba is only worthy of being a construction worker, but than Li Huan, Eduardo really has no temper, don't talk about free kicks, it's embarrassing to say, even if it is his favorite dribble, Li Huan is by no means worse than him, and the physical confrontation is stronger than him, Eduardo strongly argued: "I'm not alone, there are too many people, where to pass it, I pass them may not be able to catch it." “

"Trust your teammates, if you don't trust them, they won't believe you. How can you fight with you. ”

Obasi came on, Hoffenheim changed formations, Li Huan was active, Rostock was suppressed, their defense could only be retracted, Hoffenheim had the upper hand at their home stadium, just one goal short.

Commentator Bale said: "433 should be the most suitable formation for Li Huan to play, the reduction in the number of midfielders has made room for Li Huan's insertion, his speed makes the opponent unreachable, his cross makes the opponent collapse, Obasi's play is also the key, his skills are more delicate than Demba Ba, the individual ability of the two is extremely strong, and the Rostock back line has to defend them with a ball." Now we want to get a set-piece and break down the Rostock defence. ”

Rostock's defence was indeed strong, Hoffenheim had the upper hand but never scored, in the last fifteen minutes of the first half, Hoffenheim played six shots on goal and failed to break the door of Rostock, although the Hoffenheim fans and players were very regretful, but to their delight Rostock only had an outrageous long-range shot in the end.

At half-time, there were no substitutions on either side, although the Pagelsdorf team was very passive, but the opponent Hoffenheim's shot was not sure to score, it should be said that the defensive system did not make any mistakes, and rash substitutions could plunge the team into chaos.

In the second half of the game, Hoffenheim still dominated his right side, Weiss was the bodyguard, and Li Huan charged from the backfield, but just when Rostock was used to Hoffenheim's attacking method, Li Huan suddenly launched a long pass on the side to find Demba Ba in the middle, Demba Ba's header was ferried to Obasi, and after Obasi pulled out the gap, he suddenly stuffed it to the veteran Copado, although Copado is the shortest one in Hoffenheim, but he is very flexible and has rich experience in the German Second Division. Copado followed up with a volley to pump the ball towards the goal's right foot, these few combinations were simple and clear, and the final shot was decisive and powerful, apparently done during training, Rostock was confused by the continuous coordination, no one stopped Copado's shot, even the goalkeeper did not react. However, Copado's shot hit the post and bounced off the line.

The Hoffenheim fans were already ready to celebrate, and they were shaken by this goalpost and fell to their seats, such a good cooperation was actually destroyed by the goalpost. Still, the Hoffenheim fans applauded the regular pairing, and they were closer to goal, weren't they? Maybe the next shot will be a goal. Fans thought to themselves comfortingly.

"Oh my God! I didn't get in! It looks like Hoffenheim are really going to change the pitch and the goal doesn't help their own people." Hoffenheim's commentator Bell looked up to the sky and sighed. "This is Hoffenheim's style of play that has been practiced beforehand, otherwise it would not have been so fluid. But without a goal, the players in Rostock now will definitely be wary of Li Huan's long pass. It's a pity for this sudden attack. In Rangnick's team, only Li Huan can make a long pass, and now it seems that Li Huan's long pass is indeed another secret weapon of Hoffenheim. ”

The short pass can't penetrate in, Li Huan's long pass has become a little more, Demba Ba and Obasi frequently compete with the opponent for headers, Hungry Copado is around the two black men to pick up the leak, Rostock was very embarrassed, Suo surnamed Demba Ba and Obasi to mark the guard, not to give them the opportunity to easily grab a ferry.

However, just when Rostock spent most of his energy on entanglement with Demba Ba and Obasi, Li Huan changed his offensive tactics again, he dribbled the ball down from the side, and when Sebastian thought he was going to cross again, Li Huan wore Sebastian's crotch near the corner flag area, and forced Sebastian to break free and cut into the penalty area.

Centre-back Orestes hurried over to make up for it, and goalkeeper Wasit also moved to the left to block the near corner. Rostock's midfielders and defenders are also very alert in the middle of the defense, one is staring at Sarihovic, the other is watching Copado, and the other is immediately following Demba Ba who is defending by Orestes, they are preventing Li Huan from opening the middle and passing the ball out, it is almost impossible to shoot in that position, and the possibility of passing the ball is very large.
