Chapter 102: Doom is over
Xiao Qing won, Hoffenheim won! Hoffenheim completed their first two-game winning streak in the second half of the season with a 2-1 win away at Hamburg and they are now leading the table without giving anyone a chance!
Xiao Qing is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this game, in this game Xiao Qing passed and shot to help the team achieve a reversal, the only one in the current Hoffenheim team that can attract greater attention in the whole Europe is Xiao Qing, he is also widely considered to be the most indispensable player in Hoffenheim now, he is the key to the current Hoffenheim's good results to ensure competitiveness! As for the likes of Salihovic and Eduardo, they did do well, but they are definitely not indispensable, at least in the top five leagues, and even in the Bundesliga, players who are more effective than them can still be found.
Xiao Qing was once again undisputedly voted Man of the Match, and his brilliant passing and goals in the game were the key to Hoffenheim's valuable three points; And now, at the critical moment of the game, all the people who know Hoffenheim now know that what needs to be seen is Xiao Qing's performance, and he is also the only key man in the current team who can be reassured.
Xiao Qing can now be said to be out of the limelight, and has repeatedly played well at critical moments, which has also made Xiao Qing more recognized. Now Xiao Qing has scored 27 league goals, which is originally a high and terrible number of goals; Even in the Bundesliga, where there are more goals, this is a crazy number of goals.
In the 1981-82 season, then Hamburg striker Hulubesf scored 27 league goals in a single season. And this is the highest number of goals scored in a single season in nearly three decades; No one would think that Xiao Qing would not score a goal in the remaining eight rounds. So it means that Xiao Qing can become the top scorer in a single season in the Bundesliga in recent decades; The last time a player scored 30 league goals in a single season was back in 1976-77. Cologne striker at the time, Die-Müller, scored 34 goals in a single season.
In the history of the Bundesliga, since 1963-64, there have only been eight occasions when 30 or more goals have been scored in a single season. The first to accomplish this feat was Hamburg striker Schiller, who made history by scoring thirty goals in the game; And the legend of the Bayern team alone has staged this miraculous performance five times, including an incredible 71-72 season with 40 goals in a single season!
Although no one thinks that Xiao Qing will score 40 goals in a single season, with eight rounds left in the league, Xiao Qing can further increase his goal count in the game; Even if Hoffenheim's crazy attacking tactics in the first half of the game benefited Xiao Qing a lot, he was able to score so many goals. It's one thing to play tactics, it's more important to have the players in their own abilities.
And Xiao Qing's goal is not just the icing on the cake, he has repeatedly scored key goals in many important games, which also makes the gold content of Xiao Qing's goals rise rapidly, which is also the main reason why Xiao Qing has been more recognized. Not only did he play well when he was downwind, but he was also great when the team was in trouble.
A lot of good players can score a lot in the game, but sometimes they disappear at the crucial moments of the game, even if they can have a satisfactory performance in one game or two, but they can't guarantee such a consistent performance in the long term, which makes it difficult for them to achieve higher results. And those great players. They are standing out in the face of adversity, which also makes their careers more sublimated.
The current Xiao Qing is naturally impossible to be called great. But now he has proven himself to be outstanding, and now he is slowly approaching excellence, and now he is starting to attack the real championship honor of his first career; Although Xiao Qing has won the championship of the German Second League before, the gold content of that championship is open to discussion, at least Xiao Qing wants to become a great player, the championship of the German Second League does not explain things at all, only the championship of the top league is more recognized.
Defeated the Hamburg team, Hoffenheim can continue to lead the standings, now they are still that crazy team, now they still hold the initiative in the standings, they don't need to care about the performance of other teams at all, at least now Xiao Qing thinks so, they just need to do their own thing, then with only eight rounds left in the league, those teams who want to win the championship really need to see Hoffenheim's face.
For Hoffenheim, now they look bad luck for the time being, now they have completely bid farewell to the slump through two consecutive wins, now they are full of confidence again, they are now in high spirits!
Hertha Berlin, which had been overwhelmed in the standings in this round of the game, lost again, and they lost to Stuttgart in the last round, but in this round of the game, the dark horse team that had a hot performance in the second half of the game began to slowly manifest itself, and lost to Dortmund cleanly at home 1-3, and now they are eight points away from Hoffenheim. Two consecutive defeats have almost completely deprived them of any hope of challenging for the league title.
Hertha Berlin is defeated, they are starting to fall behind, they basically lose hope of fighting for the league title; Of course, in this game, there is also a team that has always regarded the championship as its goal, and it has basically announced its departure from the championship group.
Bayern Munich lost 1-5 away to Wolfsburg, and when they achieved Wolfsburg's eight-game winning streak, they were also thrown off by Hoffenheim at the top of the table! They have no hope of winning the league title at the moment, and it may be more realistic for them to focus all their attention on the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.
VfL Wolfsburg tore Bayern's sloppy backline apart in 14 minutes before and after the second half, with Brazilian player Graffet and Bosnia-Herzegovina player De Zeko both scoring twice, among which Grafite's goal in the first 13 minutes of the final game was even more wonderful, he deceived Bayern's five defenders and scored the ball with his heel, helping Wolfsburg win eight consecutive Bundesliga victories and maintain an unbeaten home record in the Bundesliga this season!
Wolfsburg are now on a close toe with Hoffenheim, with an incredible run of eight wins in a row and now just six points behind Hoffenheim, who seem to be Hoffenheim's only rivals with only eight league games remaining.
In fact, to a certain extent, Hoffenheim still has to thank Wolfsburg, if it were not for Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin's wild pursuit in the standings, I believe that Hoffenheim may not be able to burst out with such a huge sense of motivation and urgency, which is the main reason why Hoffenheim was able to chase hard in the relatively sluggish situation during this period.
Hoffenheim are not giants, and the depth of their squad is also more worrying; So even if they have some advantages, it is not completely reassuring, especially now Hoffenheim is still suffering from injuries in a row. Hoffenheim need to work harder so that they can win more games, and their attitude needs to be more focused so that they can maintain enough good performances in the game.
Hoffenheim can't always play the role of a lone loser in the standings, and they really don't have that strength now; So when there is a rather threatening opponent, it is indeed a spur for Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim do have some problems at the moment, but it doesn't matter, the desire for that title sand table makes them take every game very seriously, and now they will try to put aside the negative influences and try to prepare for every upcoming league game.
The away victory over Hamburg has reached its peak in an instant, and this game seems to herald the resurgence of Hoffenheim, which also means that Hoffenheim is fully prepared for the league title!
Hoffenheim's players are excited as they are one step closer to the league title and now seem to be able to touch the scorching heat of the championship sandbox; Of course, because of this game, an excellent comeback win also made Hoffenheim's players more confident, and now they are more confident about the next games.
Of course, it was also because there were no accidents in the game against Hamburg, injuries should have been and injuries should not have been injured, Hoffenheim had already encountered too many in the second half of the game, and it seemed impossible for them not to have some injuries in every game.
But now, their bad luck looks like it's finally coming to an end, and this uplifting comeback is injury-free, and Hoffenheim can still continue to sprint with such a winning lineup!
Xiao Qing was humming a song and tidying up his apartment, there were no important competitions now, so his parents didn't come, Germany was a little unaccustomed to them after all; And expecting a bachelor who lives alone to keep the room neat and tidy, at least Xiao Qing can't do it. But now Xiao Qing is good to clean up, because his girlfriend Anna is coming over. (To be continued......)
