Xiao Qing's opportunity is indeed coming, although he may not be the most eye-catching player on the training ground, although there may be a slight gap with other strikers in terms of overall strength, but on the court, Xiao Qing's performance is definitely the most eye-catching among several strikers. In four games, three of which were substitutes and one start, Xiao Qing has scored three goals in the game, and compared to several other strikers, his efficiency is undoubtedly the highest!

In the ninth round of the league, Hoffenheim was forced to draw by Augsburg, which was deep in the relegation zone, which not only made Hoffenheim lose three points and lost the opportunity to further improve the ranking in the standings, but also made the outside world have a more intuitive feeling of Hoffenheim's strength, or in the eyes of many people, Hoffenheim is really difficult to achieve.

In the previous round, they had just beaten third-placed Mainz, and then were held to a draw by Augsburg in the relegation zone; Two very different opponents in the two rounds, but Hoffenheim also delivered a result that surprised everyone, they can beat strong opponents in an upset, or they can be upset and forced to draw by a weak opponent. This is Hoffenheim, who have not lost in five consecutive games, but their performances have been extremely inconsistent.

Slow recovery manager Rangnick may not be in the media of the surprise world, but he is quite disagreeable with the performance of the players; The team's focus in the summer transfer period is to strengthen the transformation of the midfield, so that the team's midfield and backfield are more dependent on the team of the German Bundesliga, so it is normal for the team to concede goals again and again, after all, it is difficult for the midfielders in the Bundesliga period to ensure that the goal is not lost in the Bundesliga, which is why Hoffenheim's results this season are not satisfactory.

There is no transformation in the midfield and backfield, so it is acceptable to concede goals again and again, this is the reality! However, the midfielder, who spent almost all of the team's transfer funds, the most valuable Eduardo, although he has only just been promoted to the starting lineup and has not played a few games, he has a tendency to become the core, and his performance is still quite good. But Edu and Demba Ba, who are also worth a lot of money, Rangnick is a little dissatisfied.

It can be said that in Rangnick's expectations, the pair of Edu and Demba Ba is definitely able to break through their opponents' goals, and they are absolutely capable of becoming the strongest frontcourt combination in the German Second Division.

But Rangnick was overly optimistic, not to mention the team's midfield and backfield constantly conceding goals, after all, it was the player's strength that was not good, and Hoffenheim had expected the result after deciding not to transform the midfield. But the strikers did not score, or not score as many goals as expected, which is the fundamental reason why Hoffenheim's results so far this season are not satisfactory, which also goes a long way to illustrate the failure of Hoffenheim's transfer strategy!

Rangnick doesn't think the transfer strategy he and the management have developed is a failure, although the team still has three years to go to the relegation task, and now this season is just trying to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga, but Rangnick doesn't think this should be his goal, although it looks like the team is already in the middle of the table, but Rangnick thinks the team can actually do better.

Although Rangnick is a young manager who is quite easy to get along with on the field, but on the field, Rangnick is quite strict, so now he needs the team to do better, he needs the team to show more competitiveness; Although there are no more hard indicators for the team's results this season, Rangnick still demands that the team do better!

So although the team has invested a lot in the forward line, if the strikers don't make him feel satisfied, then Rangnick will not hesitate to revamp the forward line. Now, Edu and Demba Ba, the original highly-anticipated main combination, need to be broken up for the time being, the league has been played for nine rounds, but it seems that they do not have more chemistry, and they have not helped the team as much as expected, so in order for the team to achieve more results, Rangnick needs to reposition the pair of forwards who have spent a lot of money.

If Xiao Qing was pushed to the starting lineup in the eighth round because of his progress, and because the team was in the rectification at that time, then it is of a lot of significance to mention Xiao Qing to the starting lineup again. The day before the start of the tenth round of the league, head coach Rangnick announced Hoffenheim's starting list in advance, compared to other positions, basically unchanged, the only thing is that Xiao Qing once again replaced Demba Ba in the starting lineup, or the Hoffenheim lineup when Xiao Qing started for the first time in his career.

Goalkeeper Daniel Haas, Matthias Jaisler, Gertricha, Christoph Yankel and Pell at the back. Nelson; In midfield, Carlos Eduardo, Francisco Copado, Seyad Salihovic and Isaac Vosa; On the forward line, Xiao Qing and Edu partnered.

Despite Demba Ba's ugly face, Hoffenheim's mid-season makeover has already begun, and now Rangnick has unabashedly signaled to all the players that if you can't make me feel good on the pitch, then I'll change your position, even if you're spending a lot of money on the team.

Demba Ba's face was quite ugly, but it was extremely good news for Xiao Qing, because it was not a signal to change tactics in the game, because this was the regular formation that was likely to be in the next few rounds; Xiao Qing knows that his own opportunity has come completely, although he doesn't dare to say that he has completely locked in a starting qualification, then it can basically show that the next paragraph is established, as long as Xiao Qing does not make mistakes, as long as Xiao Qing can achieve good results on the court, then the position of this technique belongs to himself is basically eight or nine! Now Xiao Qing doesn't have to worry about his situation cautiously, now he doesn't have to worry about his playing time, at least temporarily!

Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, although it is not completely safe now, but at least there is no need to worry about the future with such fear; Although he still signed a trial contract, Xiao Qing's position in the team has changed significantly, and now Xiao Qing believes that he is no longer the dispensable role of the team, he is now one of the more important players in the team! As for the new contract, Xiao Qing is really not in a hurry.

Hoffenheim's opponent in the tenth round of the league is Kaiserslautern, a team that is also in danger of being in the relegation zone for the time being; It's a team with an illustrious history, and a team with some fictional versions of drama; 1996 was arguably the most dramatic year for Kaiser FC. Because in that year, shortly after the team won the FA Cup, they fell into the second division with a poor result of only 16th place in the league. After a year of lying on the salary, in 1997 finally returned to the Bundesliga as the first place in the Bundesliga. And in the 1997-1998 season, it created a Bundesliga miracle that won the league championship with the attitude of "promotion horse"!

Although they have created the miracle of winning the championship with promoted horses, they have been struggling in the second division in recent years; This season, the team that created the myth of Kaiserslautern has struggled, with the former Bundesliga 'Red Devils' having only one win, four draws and four defeats after nine league games, and their first win of the season came with a 3-0 home win over Osnabrück in the previous round.

Hoffenheim's players will not show any mercy against the former kings, and they will definitely go all out to win, because they also need to win to make themselves better, because they also have a sense of urgency now, and they need to achieve more stability in the team.

On October 19, 2007, in the fall of Matt. Hope Field, Hoffenheim will host Kaiserslautern; As for Xiao Qing, he is full of confidence now, and he has secretly sent two books to Kaiserslautern in the away team; In fact, this is just superstition, this is just a good luck, and the reason why Xiao Qing is full of confidence is because he has more fighting spirit and because he has a stronger enterprising spirit.

So although Kaiserslautern is the king of the disaster, Xiao Qing will not hesitate to give Kaiserslautern a few stabs, he does not have so many fan emotions, and now he is not qualified to sympathize with Kaiserslautern, so defeating Kaiserslautern, in order to more stabilize his position in the team, in order to firmly grasp this hard-won main position, Xiao Qing must go all out in this game.

Xiao Qing will indeed go all out, from the beginning of the game, Xiao Qing has been quite positive, in order to strive for a better performance, in order to help the team win, Xiao Qing and his teammates are doing their best.
