Chapter 059: I Haven't Admitted Defeat Yet!

Borussia Mönchengladbach's players were a little unhappy, they wanted to teach the yellow-skinned boy who was very high-profile a lesson, and they needed to let Xiao Qing learn to keep a low profile. So in this game, the players of Borussia Mönchen are obviously working harder; If they wanted to take all three points to keep the leader of the standings before the game, then after Xiao Qing's 'high-profile' performance, they needed to give Xiao Qing a basin of cold water.

Hoffenheim has tasted some sweetness in strengthening the pressing defense, whether it is against Rostock or against Wiesbaden, Hoffenheim's all-attack and all-defense tactics are still quite effective, although this tactic is not perfect yet, but it will be a good tactic for Hoffenheim's players, and they do want to continue to improve this tactic, they want to get better.

Amid the cheers of the Hoffenheim fans, the Hoffenheim players in blue and white jerseys began a new campaign as they looked to take on the league leaders at home and prove they could actually get better. Borussia Mönchengladbach may be a good team, but Hoffenheim is a team to be reckoned with!

The Hoffenheim players, who have won two games in a row in the second half of the game, are confident that this game will be a satisfactory team, and they believe that the team can beat Borussia Mönchenchen in this game!

Despite the confidence of the Hoffenheim players, the game did not seem to be on the track they expected, and the game seemed to have exceeded their expectations by a wide margin, at least in the first 30 minutes of the game.

The Hoffenheim players were a little dumbfounded, and the Hoffenheim players, who had tasted the sweetness of the all-attacking and defensive tactics of pressing, repeated the same tactics as they wanted to continue to use in this game, and they wanted to continue to win. But when the game started, when the Hoffenheim players started their set tactics, they were beaten in the face!

The all-offense and all-defense pressing tactics are indeed very aggressive, but one thing to admit is that once the pressure on the opponent cannot be formed in such a game, then it is easy to cause chaos in the team's defensive formation and offensive formation. Although Hoffenheim's players were very positive, they are now embarrassed because the pressing tactics that had worked so well in previous games were no longer applicable at this time.

Borussia Mönchengladbach was still in the Bundesliga last season, although there was a certain degree of personnel loss after relegation, but fortunately, their main squad is still there, and the cooperation between their players is still relatively tacit; And I have to admit that although Hoffenheim's pressing tactics are very aggressive, but Borussia Mönchenchen belongs to the kind of more mature team, they can ensure that they do not make mistakes to the greatest extent, and they can be very good at opening up space.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's players are very cooperative, and their feet are also very good, so this makes it difficult for Hoffenheim's pressing tactics to be effective enough; Of course, there are reasons for the good quality of Borussia Mönchengladbach's players, and of course there is also the reason for Hoffenheim's lack of defensive strength. In particular, Hoffenheim had also sacrificed such a tactic in the previous game, so the Mönchen team at this time was naturally prepared, so it was almost natural for Hoffenheim to use such tactics to create more haode at this time!

In the first ten minutes of the game, both teams could not have a decent attack, Hoffenheim wanted to attack and defend to counterattack, but it was difficult for them to grab the ball to form a counterattack, so they had no chance to do better at this time. As for Borussia Mönchengladbach, although they are now able to control the ball very well and avoid giving Hoffenheim the chance to counter-attack, it is also difficult for them to organise an effective attack under the pressure of Hoffenheim's players again and again.

The opening stages of the game seemed to be at a stalemate, with neither team looking to be able to do anything about the other; But in this case, it is naturally more disadvantageous for Hoffenheim, because the pressing tactics are relatively more physically consuming tactics, and Hoffenheim's overall age is not very old, and the tactics have been slow to work, which will not only hit the morale of the players, but also cause a series of negative emotions such as impatience of the players, which will undoubtedly make the Hoffenheim players encounter greater challenges in the next games.

Hoffenheim manager Rangnick frowned, he will not change his mind at this time, he still asks the team to strengthen the rhythm of pressing, he believes that the current Borussia Mönchenchen team is actually difficult to continue to persevere, he believes that as long as the players hold on for a while, then the format of the game is likely to develop as he expected.

Seeing that head coach Rangnick made a more resolute gesture of pressing, Xiao Qing naturally had no doubt that he would implement the head coach's tactics at this time, and he did believe that as long as the team persevered a little longer, then they could completely open up the situation. So at this time, Xiao Qing also began to work hard to retreat deeper, and he needed to help his teammates form enough pressure in the midfield.

Hoffenheim's pressing formation began to be further compressed, and the defenders also began to compress the passing space of the Borussia Mönchen team as a whole at this time, as for Xiao Qing, while harassing the defenders of Borussia Mönchenchen, he seized the opportunity to work hard and actively tried to create a threat near the midfield.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are working hard, they are not hesitating to carry out active pressing at the expense of physical fitness, but the performance of the Menxing team at this time is a little disappointing, because the Menxing team at this time is not impatient, they can maintain their rhythm well, although Hoffenheim's pressing at this time is more active and aggressive, but the Menxing team is not disturbed at all, they would rather have meaningless kicks again and again, they would rather have some obvious mistakes, But they won't give Hoffenheim a chance to fight back easily.

This time Dimat. There were boos from the Hoffenheim fans at the stadium, who were unhappy with the repeated meaningless kicks of the Borussia Mönchenchen team, who felt that this should not be the passive tactics of the Bundesliga leaders. But all this has no effect on Borussia Mönchengladbach's players, who are still tepid and slowly backwards, they are still slashing the morale and fitness of Hoffenheim's players, and they believe that it is unrealistic to maintain such a high level of pressing, even if the Hoffenheim players are not very old.

While Borussia Mönchengladbach did fall back again and again, and even the occasional attacks were unthreatening, they looked more in a stalemate with Hoffenheim. But this does not mean that the players of the Borussia Mönchenchen team are satisfied, they are indeed wearing down the morale and fitness of Hoffenheim, but they are also in charge to create more opportunities for themselves!

In the twenty-second minute of the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who had been cowering for a long time, showed their fangs; Because Hoffenheim had already launched a crazy press at this time, because the current long press made the Hoffenheim players a little careless and impatient, so they did not notice some details.

Hoffenheim's formation has been predetermined, and Hoffenheim's backline is also difficult to form an effective connection because of frequent scrambling, and even reunions have made Hoffenheim's defenders a little out of position; They were able to get back to their positions in time at the beginning, but it took a little longer, firstly because of the faster pace of pressing, and secondly, because the Hoffenheim players had more mood swings, they were too impatient!

So when Borussia Mönchenchen midfielder Polanski suddenly sent a long ball that almost spanned half the pitch, Hoffenheim's players panicked; At this time, their defense line is completely fragmented, and now they are also forcing the premise of the defense line, so now they can't return to defense in time!

Borussia Mönchenchen small striker Oliver. Neuville waited for the opportunity to move, and he quickly chased the ball; Neuville has never been a prolific goalscorer, but he has always been a dangerous one, and the small cheetah-like speed can be lethal to the tall and clumsy German centre-backs!

Because the formation was too forward, although the Hoffenheim defenders hurriedly wanted to return to defense, they were still successfully offside by Neuville in an instant; The next thing is very simple, although the newly transferred Hoffenheim goalkeeper Ramazan Ozcan is good, but in the face of a single goal, he really does not have much certainty.

The 38-5-year-old veteran Neuville calmly dribbled the ball into the penalty area, facing the attacking Ozcan, Neuville easily shook off the Hoffenheim goalkeeper's center of gravity and pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal. In the twenty-second minute of the game, the Borussia Mönchen team took the lead 1-0 away!

Hoffenheim's players are frustrated, they have worked hard for a long time but they haven't been able to get any advantage, and now they have to swallow the bitter wine of being behind, which is definitely quite a frustration.

Seeing the players of Borussia Mönchengladbach cheering and celebrating wantonly, and seeing the faces of his teammates full of frustration, Xiao Qing was a little depressed: I haven't admitted defeat yet!
