After three rounds of winlessness, Hoffenheim seem to have returned to their early season rhythm, when they have experienced an excellent record of nine rounds of unbeaten and continued to advance in the standings, two draws and one loss in the last three rounds of games have made Hoffenheim constantly overtake; With two points from three games, Hoffenheim have not only failed to retain their top six spots, but they have now been further widened by the teams in front of them, and they have been overtaken by the teams behind them. After sixteen rounds, Hoffenheim has now dropped to seventh place in the standings.

In the sixteenth round, Hoffenheim originally thought that he had met the soft persimmon Offenbach kickers, so head coach Rangnick also began to play rotation rest at this time; The result was a big game, and although they scored two goals at home, they were also scored two goals by their opponents. Originally, I wanted to get three points out of the predicament on the team in the relegation zone, but now I can only reluctantly accept the bitter fact that I was forced to draw by the team in the relegation zone at home and went three rounds without a win.

Another bitter three-round winless streak, although compared to the first draw and three losses at the beginning of the season now looks much better, but the position in the standings has not only fallen repeatedly, but also repeatedly widened the gap by the teams in front of them, such a situation is definitely Hoffenheim is not satisfied. In the upcoming seventeenth round, Hoffenheim's opponent is Fürth, who is second in the standings, which is definitely not an easy team to deal with, and for Hoffenheim, they do not want to continue to fall behind in the standings, they hope to have a more perfect finish at the end of the halfway game.

Xiao Qing is ready, although the seventeenth round of the game is away, although he failed to score in two consecutive rounds, although it is almost impossible for him to upgrade again at the end of the half-way game, but it doesn't matter, even if Fürth's strength is quite good, Xiao Qing will still go all out to score goals in this game.

Although he failed to win the previous three rounds, Rangnick did not change the team's starting lineup in this game; Maybe Hoffenheim will make some reinforcements to the team's lineup during the winter break, but now they can obviously only rely on such a lineup, fortunately, this is only a half-league game of Zuihou, fortunately, Hoffenheim's main lineup is still good.

The goalkeeper is Daniel Haas, of course, and at the back Perl Nelsson, Luis Gustavo, Matthias Jaisler and Christoph Jankel; midfielder Selim Teber, three attacking midfielders Eduardo, Copado and Seyad Salihovic; On the forward line, of course, are Edu and Xiao Qing.

As for Fürth, they also have no reservations in this game; Now they are second in the standings, which is a valuable qualification that can be directly promoted to the Bundesliga, so Fürth naturally attaches great importance to it. But now they are not too far behind the team behind them, so they have to try to make the most of every game, and they have to make sure that they can improve as many points as possible to stay where they are.

Goalkeeper Sasha Kistein, Marino Biliskov, Kraslawov, Nerig and Jan Maursburg lined up at the back; In midfield, Toston Burckhardt, Daniel Adlen, Judit and Calijury; Up front, Alexander Kotuljak and Hidimar are naturally a threat.

Dressed in the traditional green and white striped stripes, Fürth kicked off the game to the cheers of 15,000 fans at the Premobile Stadium, although the German fans are not as crazy as the English fans, but because of the current Fürth excellent record, the Premobile Stadium is almost full, although the stadium is not large, but the atmosphere here is quite good.

Fürth desperately need three points at home, while Hoffenheim are also looking to get out of the way at Primor, they can't afford not to win, and they need to get out of a three-game winless run to end the first half of the season. So the beginning of this game was very intense, and the players of both teams were fighting fiercely on the field, and there would naturally be some relatively large actions in the fierce scramble at this time.

Just nine minutes into the game, Fürth midfielder Lanig tackled Hoffenheim midfielder Kopado and received the first yellow card of the game; Hoffenheim were not to be outdone, and in the 12th minute of the game, Hoffenheim defender Gutavos brought down Fürth striker Koturjak in front of the penalty area and received a yellow card and gave Fürth a well-placed free-kick.

Although the players of both teams started to receive yellow cards at the beginning of the game, this really laid the foundation for this game; Although both teams received a yellow card each, the players did not let this deter them, and their competition on the pitch was quite fierce.

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Fürth took a free kick in front, and when he cleared the ball, Hoffenheim captain Nelsson bumped into Fürth midfielder Burckhardt; Tragically, Burckhardt was injured in the collision and had to make a substitution less than 15 minutes into the game. Fürth's first substitution was forced to come early, with midfielder Lanig replacing the injured Burckhardt on the pitch.

Although the players of both teams moved relatively big from the beginning of this game, even if Burckhardt was injured and left the field, the players of both teams were still more rational on the field, it was just an accident; Both teams will want to win this game, so this one is destined to be quite exciting.

After Burckhardt left injured, Hoffenheim seized the opportunity to determine the advantage; Due to an unexpected injury, Fürth's tactics have been temporarily declared a failure, and now they have a bit of confusion on the pitch and they need some time to adjust. But it is clear that the Hoffenheim players are not going to give them a chance, and the current Hoffenheim players are trying to use this time to try to take more initiative.

Hoffenheim began to take advantage of the temporary chaos on the field to create more chances, and Hoffenheim's defensive intensity suddenly increased; Eduardo, Copado and others launched a crazy press in the midfield, and Xiao Qing and Edu did not relax at this time, they are also harassing and pressing Fürth's backline, and they will not give Fürth a chance to easily fall in the backfield. The current Hoffenheim players are like mad dogs, and they have been sprinting and pressing again and again without slackening during this time.

Hoffenheim's pressing made Fürth's players quite uncomfortable, although they also knew that it was difficult to maintain such a high-intensity defense for a long time, but for the current Fürth players, they may collapse before Hoffenheim's tactical adjustments, because as long as they just get the ball, then Hoffenheim's defenders will definitely rush out as soon as possible, and they will not have an easy chance to get the ball at all.

In the face of Hoffenheim's crazy pressing, Fürth is more passive, and now their formation is completely deformed, and now they have no attack at all. Fürth's players want to get out of this situation, they want to get a breather to organise the attack; But at this time, the Hoffenheim players are working harder, because they know that if they hold on for a while, then they are likely to increase their chances!

In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Hoffenheim's pressing paid off; Fürth made a mistake in Hoffenheim's aggressive defense, Fürth midfielder Ranig narrowly smashed the ball away from Salihovic, but when he was just relieved, the tenacious Hoffenheim midfielder did not give up at all, he did not even get up from the grass completely, Salihovic staggered a few steps before sneaking in at Ranig carelessly, his toes touched the ball.

Although Ranig snatched the ball back again, he made a big mistake in the entanglement of Salihovic; Raenig's cross from midfield was cut off by the sudden attack of Copado, who did not dribble the ball to the exclamations of the Fürth fans, and he chose a long pass.

Because of the rush, Fürth's formation was a little chaotic, in fact, Hoffenheim's formation at this time was also very chaotic, but Hoffenheim didn't suffer at all in the scuffle. Although Xiao Qing continued to put pressure on Fürth's defenders before, so he was now in a relatively backward position, easily receiving a pass from Copado, although Xiao Qing was thirty meters away from the goal at this time, but he was still full of confidence.

stabbed the ball forward, and with his own speed, Xiao Qing started a quick counterattack; Although the defenders of Fürth at this time are also hurriedly adjusting, it is difficult for the current Fürth backline to form a whole, which naturally gives Xiao Qing more opportunities.

Suddenly slammed the ball to the left, although the deceived Fürth defender Billyskov was chasing hard, Xiao Qing's speed was too fast, and he couldn't narrow the gap with Xiao Qing's direct position. And just when the Fürth defenders who were filling in the position were waiting in front of the penalty area, Xiao Qing suddenly passed the ball diagonally and stuffed the ball into the penalty area!

Xiao Qing's aggressive breakthrough attracted the attention of Fürth's defense, and they even ignored Edu a little; So when Xiao Qing suddenly slashed the ball, when Edu quickly stabbed out of the right side of the penalty area, Fürth's players panicked! Edu dribbled easily into the heart of the box and calmly volleyed home Hoffenheim to take a 1-0 lead in the 26th minute of the game, giving them a pretty good start to the half-time game!
