Hoffenheim's players know they are a hot topic in the media right now, as evidenced by the number of journalists who continue to come to Sinsheim; And outside the training ground, there are a lot of media gathered, and they are all looking forward to the Hoffenheim players being interviewed; Especially Xiao Qing and Ibisevic, who are the focus of media attention.

Xiao Qing naturally needless to say, he almost single-handedly directed the crazy chasing points in the last round of the league, scoring five goals in six rounds, and now Xiao Qing is also able to rank in the top five in the Bundesliga's scorer list. Xiao Qing is very strong now, so it is normal for the media to pay attention to him.

As for Ibisevic, he is also a grassroots player, although his career is almost a drama like Xiao Qing, but Ibisevic's career is also quite ups and downs, and this season's Ibisevic's unexpected outburst, he seems to be staging what Xiao Qing did last season, that is, the substitute players quickly used the super high goal efficiency to become the core after seizing the main force.

The media now wants to be courted by Hoffenheim, but Hoffenheim's players don't have that time, although it's a good thing for these 'unseen' hillbillies to get more recognition and more media attention, because it will definitely make them more popular, and there is a great opportunity for them to get more endorsements. But now is really not the time, because the Hoffenheim players also know that the current situation is only due to the explosive attention of the last game, they still lack enough foundation, and they have to be down-to-earth to win more games at this time. Otherwise, the current pursuit is likely to turn into an even more unbridled irony to follow.

Hoffenheim is really out of time. Hoffenheim need to start the second round of their German Cup after the draw with Bremen. In this round of the game, they met their old rivals, Freiburg, a strong opponent in the Bundesliga; Freiburg are doing well in the Bundesliga right now and they are indeed favourites for promotion.

It's just that this visit to the Bednova Stadium made Hoffenheim's players have a different feeling, Freiburg is also the same state team of Hoffenheim, Freiburg is a team in Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, is a more competitive and well-known team, but they are still regrettable not to be promoted, even after relegation in 2005. He has worked here for 16 years and is also the longest-serving manager of a team in the history of German football. Fink also resigned in 2007.

This season is a must-promote season for Freiburg, and they are indeed in the top three of the Bundesliga table now; Freiburg wants to haode to challenge some Hoffenheim, a family that they have not looked up to in one season, but they have unbelievably completed successive promotions of the current Bundesliga leader Hoffenheim!

Freiburg's players are working hard and they will be hoping to get an 'upset' over the Bundesliga leaders in this game, and they will be hoping to start their promotion journey with a highly morale-boosting victory at this time. Because Hoffenheim is now the leader of the Bundesliga, because Hoffenheim was only a Bundesliga team a season ago; This is a very litmus test for Freiburg, as Hoffenheim have not made too many personnel changes this summer, and are still largely based on the main team from the Bundesliga. So on Hoffenheim. Freiburg want to look at their quality and they want to make a judgement on their quality and their quality in the Bundesliga. This will also allow them to face future competitions, both in the Bundesliga and in the possible future promotion to the Bundesliga.

Freiburg was confident, but unfortunately they chose the wrong person for comparison; It is true that Hoffenheim was only a Bundesliga team last season, and at that time Hoffenheim's overall strength may be even stronger than Freiburg. Although Hoffenheim did not have many reinforcements this summer, Xiao Qing's improvement and Ibisevic's outburst made Hoffenheim head coach Rangnick develop a very suitable set of tactics for the team; It's not an arithmetic problem where one plus one equals two, and when Hoffenheim has accumulated enough variations, they start to explode, they start to sublimate, they become even better.

At the Bednova Stadium, Xiao Qing scored with a header from Weiss's cross in the 16th minute of the game, which was Xiao Qing's first German Cup goal of the season. Xiao Qing helped the team open the scoring, and Hoffenheim now look to be in quite good form, and they completely control the game.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Xiao Qing broke through to the penalty area and suddenly passed diagonally to the left side of the small penalty area, Edu quickly inserted and chose to volley, Hoffenheim 2-0 to expand the score. In this game, Freiburg was surprised to find that Hoffenheim, who was still able to wrestle his wrist in the Bundesliga, was difficult for them to parry.

Although Hoffenheim's main force has a certain degree of rotation, the current Freiburg is still difficult to withstand Hoffenheim's ferocious attack; In the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim can tear through the opponent's defense again and again to score goals, although Freiburg's defense is good, but obviously there is still some gap from the Bundesliga team's defense.

In the first half of the game, the retreating Xiao Qing drove straight into the penalty area with the ball, Xiao Qing with speed and liliang and feet seemed to be a huge BUG on the field at this time, Freiburg's players could only passively limit Xiao Qing's play as much as possible, and they were still a little afraid of Xiao Qing who had just scored a hat trick in the Bundesliga.

But at this time, Xiao Qing suddenly sent a through ball in the heart of the penalty area, and the Brazilian striker Wellington, who had just transferred this summer, seized the opportunity to cross behind the panicked Freiburg defender, and Wellington fell to the ground and stabbed his first goal of the season.

Xiao Qing sat on the bench in a happy mood, and took a three-0 lead in the first half, so there was basically no suspense in this game, so Xiao Qing could easily sit and chat with his teammates, and it was a sure thing to qualify for the next round of the German Cup.

Hoffenheim comfortably qualified for the next round of the German Cup, which was considered a normal thing, it was not necessarily a thing to look forward to, but now it is different. Hoffenheim are in the limelight now, although Freiburg's strength is not very strong, but they are also the favorites for promotion, and Hoffenheim won 3-0 quite easily. What's more, Xiao Qing, who was in two good shapes in this game, only played the first half of the game, and Ibisevic was directly rested, but they were able to win with such a big score, which is enough to explain some problems.

In the last round of the crazy goal battle with Bremen, he scored three goals and sent an assist, and Xiao Qing gained 35 experience points; In this German Cup game, Xiao Qing scored a goal and sent two assists, and he was also in a happy mood to get fifteen experience points. Now Xiao Qing has one hundred and sixty experience points, and there is still a gap of eight hundred and forty experience points from the upgrade, which is one step closer to the upgrade!

Xiao Qing's good mood continues, this time Hoffenheim's opponent is Frankfurt, who once rejected Xiao Qing's training, maybe basically everyone doesn't know that Xiao Qing has tried to go to Frankfurt for trial, Xiao Qing doesn't think this is anything worth saying. The trials in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe were known by outsiders because there were a lot of people on the pitch at that time, but the trials in Frankfurt were directly unable to enter the goal, and no one knew about it except for him and the guide civilization at that time, and even the current Frankfurt side did not know that they had rejected Xiao Qing, who was now in the limelight in German football.

Xiao Qing did not have much resistance to those teams that had rejected him, because that was the reason for his poor strength, and it was normal for people to look down on him; But that doesn't mean that Xiao Qing doesn't want to prove himself in front of them, and it doesn't mean that Xiao Qing has a stronger desire to score goals with the coaches of these teams.

In the 21st minute of the game, Xiao Qing and Ibyshevic made clever short passes in the penalty area, and the two high-profile Hoffenheim strikers washed the opponent in the Frankfurt penalty area; After completely tearing apart the opponent's defense, Xiao Qing calmly volleyed into the far corner of the goal, Xiao Qing scored, and now Xiao Qing has scored in three consecutive games after experiencing a goal drought of seven games, his hot state is back, and he seems to have become the arrow of Hoffenheim in the German second period!

Xiao Qing's outstanding performance also aroused Ibisevic's competitive spirit, now he is the second in the Bundesliga scorer list, Ibisevic had scored in the first few rounds of the league, but after the last round of the game, his position in the scorer list was threatened, and Xiao Qing's threat came.

So in the 39th minute of the game, Ibisevic burst into the penalty area and scored a goal, Hoffenheim led 2-0!

Xiao Qing may not have the heart to compete with Ibisevic, but more goals represent more experience; So in the 62nd minute of the game, Xiao Qing went directly into the penalty area after creating a free kick opportunity, and Salihovic did not choose to take a direct free kick this time; The ball flew straight to the far corner of the goal, Xiao Qing jumped high and smashed the Frankfurt defender's header into the goal, and the frustrated Frankfurt goalkeeper Nikolov fished the ball out of the goal for the third time in frustration.

Xiao Qing went crazy, Ibisevic went crazy, Hoffenheim also went crazy, and as for their crazy goals, the Eintracht Frankfurt players were really forced to collapse, and after Eduardo scored from distance before the end, Hoffenheim scored a 4-0 massacre.

It's another goal shootout, but the only protagonist is Hoffenheim! Since the fifth round of the league, Hoffenheim have scored three or more goals in a single game in four consecutive games, and their opponents are really going crazy against such a team! (To be continued......)
