It was a shame to concede an early goal, especially since Hoffenheim's players still took this game very seriously, they all wanted to make it to the main round of the UEFA Cup, and they didn't want to be eliminated in the qualifying stages.

At this time, Xiao Qing didn't know what to say, they were already one goal behind in the first half; In fact, Hoffenheim's players felt more hit than conceding goals because their tactics were completely limited and they couldn't find their rhythm at all, so it was definitely a huge blow to their morale.

Xiao Qing's performance in the first half of the game was actually not very good, because the team's tactics could not be played, so Xiao Qing was naturally more or less affected; Although Xiao Qing can indeed bring some trouble to Udinese with his personal ability, these are really a drop in the bucket, which is not decisive for Hoffenheim, who is already behind in the score.

'In the second half we continued to play our game. Rangnick could see the frustration of the Hoffenheim players, and looking at the Hoffenheim players panting one by one, Rangnick took the tactical board and continued, "The game is ninety minutes, not just the first half. I admit they will have the advantage in the first half, but the second half will be ours. ”

'We need to be a little bit more determined, we need to be quicker, don't give them a chance, they've reached a limit now, as long as we can be aggressive enough in the second half of the game, then they will be dragged down! This is their first competitive game of the season, and they are not in enough form to sustain a high-intensity 90-minute game! Rangnick analyzed confidently. This is indeed a potential threat from Udinese.

"Shaw. In the second half, your task is to nail yourself in front of the penalty area. Be decisive with the ball, don't hesitate to keep their back line at bay at their back, and let their midfield and backfield lose contact! And our midfielders and backfielders, don't worry about conceding goals, our defensive ability is already weak, so we don't need to worry, what we have to do is to defend as much as possible after scoring more goals! The backline presses. Our defenders have to make sure they have enough contact, we don't have enough one-sided ability, so we can create offsides. Pressing their space to move, creating more opportunities for our counter-attack, allowing our midfielders to form a counter-attack with you in time to form a counter-attack after the ball break, our tactics are to attack, and only attack! Rangnick was very excited to emphasize once again Hoffenheim's tactics, which are also quite crazy tactics, which can be seen to be crazy offensive tactics that almost give up defense!

Although it is understood that this is just some idealistic expectations of head coach Rangnick, the current Hoffenheim players can also see more hope; Originally, the football game was largely based on the head coach's arrangement and on-the-spot scheduling to seize the opportunity. But more often than not, it's the performance of the players on the pitch that are the only ones who are the protagonists.

Hoffenheim, who conceded a goal, showed great aggression at the start of the second half. Even crazier than in the first half. Hoffenheim's defenders began to press en masse, and they began to compress Udinese's space step by step; Although Udinese at this time also wanted to play directly behind Hoffenheim to expand the score and end this round of games by one game, the Hoffenheim defenders were constantly playing offside and anti-offside games with Udinese's forwards; And at this time, in addition to Xiao Qing, the Hoffenheim forwards, Ibišević and Edu are also constantly retreating and pressing, coupled with the tireless pressing of midfielders, it is difficult for Udinese to find very haode offensive opportunities now.

The Udinese players hope that the Hoffenheim players can feel fatigue early, because they know that such high-intensity pressing is quite physically demanding, at least in the airtight pressing, the Udinese players are a little tired. Udinese has only just been training for a short time, and their current physical condition is really not very good; And in the face of a kraft-like defense, Udinese's players must be a little impetuous, not to mention that since Hoffenheim is still pressing, although their defensive actions are not rough, they are definitely not Sven's regular defense.

Originally, the reason why Hoffenheim was able to continue to persist was because of the manager's tactical arrangement, and they also knew that the current team's tactics were still adjusting, so they all hoped to keep their current position, so they would only resolutely obey the manager's tactical arrangement.

Hoffenheim's players are even a little desperate for this game, because Udinese seem to be very resistant to them, and more importantly, Hoffenheim has not been able to find a chance to be haode since this game, so for the young Hoffenheim, this is undoubtedly quite a morale blow, and it is a huge blow to some young players who are not good at playing against the wind. Of course, there is also a part of the fluke, because it is a two-legged match, although they can't win away, but they can still go back to home!

But the current Hoffenheim players can gradually see that it is difficult for Udinese to continue to maintain the smooth coordination in the first half of the game, and the current Udinese players have obviously declined in quality both in passing and running, which is naturally what coach Rangnick said, this season's official game is not big Udinese's lack of physical fitness and other time bombs began to explode, and what Hoffenheim has to do now is to completely destroy Udinese with a fire!

When the game reaches such an extent that it is the will of the players, once one side collapses, then the other side will completely grasp the game. Hoffenheim are actually having a hard time right now because they are really tired from pressing at such a high level and they are not getting enough rest after Hoffenheim have just finished the league before this game.

Although Xiao Qing's current defensive task can be said to be the lightest in the team, Xiao Qing is also constantly panting, and he can feel that the current Hoffenheim players are more tired than him; It's just that now Xiao Qing understands that as long as the team can make a reversal in this game, then Hoffenheim will be able to get a huge boost in temperament and confidence, for this young promoted horse, they really need a victory in adversity to enhance their confidence to a greater extent!

Xiao Qing is gritting his teeth and insisting, and his teammates are also gritting their teeth and insisting; Just like Udinese striker Quagliarella scored in the first half, Xiao Qing at that time just didn't have too many psychological fluctuations, because that was won by the opponent's excellent performance, and that was what their better performance deserved. Self-pity is useless, only doing your own job is the most important; Frustration, depression, self-abandonment, that are all cowards' choices!

Although it is very tiring, although even if this game is won, even if it wins, Hoffenheim will not be able to immediately qualify for the main round of the League Cup, but seeing the team's current performance, I believe that like Xiao Qing, many Hoffenheim players feel excited, because now they see that they have become more hopeful, because they see the hope of defeating a strong opponent who was almost invincible in their eyes before!

Xiao Qing and his teammates have now reached the limit of their physical fitness, although in the manager's tactics, seventy minutes is the best option for Hoffenheim to maintain enough aggressiveness; But right now, the Hoffenheim players, who have not had any rest to recover at all, are very emotional because they are all eager to push the envelope and they all want to achieve even more.

In the seventy-third minute of the game, Eduardo and Gustavo broke the ball after successfully wrapping it, and although Salihovic felt that his physical strength was almost exhausted at this time, he still gritted his teeth and quickly advanced with the ball. Although Xiao Qing's shot was saved by the Udinese goalkeeper, after this round, Hoffenheim seemed to completely occupy the initiative of the game.

Although Udinese hopes to strengthen the team's defense with continuous substitutions, the current Udinese have completely abandoned the attack, and they don't need to press out to attack when the score is ahead, especially now that they still have a certain physical crisis.

Udinese began to fully retract the defense, but Hoffenheim at this time did not need to be polite; Eduardo was replaced, and the fullback Weiss came on the field, although Weiss may not be able to compare with Eduardo, but now he has enough energy and is a very good new force!

Now Udinese has retreated, which also means that they are scared now! This is undoubtedly an even more exciting good news for Hoffenheim, although they are now behind in the score, although there is not much time left in the game, although they basically have no strength now; But as long as the opponent feels scared, this is extremely good news for Hoffenheim, because Hoffenheim can attack more fiercely now, because Hoffenheim can find their rhythm now!

One goal behind, it's okay! Time is running out for the game, and that's okay too!

The Hoffenheim players believe they can score goals, and they believe that this game will be an important game that will make a difference for them! (To be continued......)
