Xiao Qing left the bar very chicly, although the quarrel with Anna was often the one who was hit by sarcasm, but Xiao Qing's mood was still good, because it was a good thing to find someone to chat with and vent the depressed emotions in his heart. Although Xiao Qing has a good relationship with almost all his teammates in the team, and his relationship with Eduardo and Weiss is indeed iron, they are teammates, and many times there are some things that cannot be said; As for Anna, although she is a reporter, Xiao Qing knows that Anna is not the kind of person who likes to talk a lot, at least she will not report some things indiscriminately, which may be a kind of trust, and because he had a short trip with Anna last season, at that time Xiao Qing felt that Anna was a good person and a very measured person.

The words have already been spoken, Xiao Qing also has enough confidence in himself, so he doesn't think he is talking at all, he thinks that he will definitely be able to do better in the next game, the temporary goal shortage is not a problem, he believes that as long as he breaks this cause, then he will be able to improve even more in the next game.

The heavy defeat to Bayer Leverkusen left Hoffenheim's players in no mood high, and they were not in the mood to play on the training ground, and the joy of a series of victories at the beginning of the new season was completely lost because of this heavy defeat. The current Hoffenheim players also have to get serious at this time, and now they have to accept some things honestly, such as the team is still far from some more competitive teams, for example, the current Hoffenheim tactics can catch the opponent off guard. But they still need more running-in.

Although lost this game. But the good news for Hoffenheim is that they have plenty of time to adjust. They have plenty of time to regain their confidence as they will have as much as close to two weeks of rest after the third-round league tie with Bayer Leverkusen, which is why Xiao Qing has been able to run out to the bar.

The opponent in the fourth round of the league is Stuttgart, which is a very meaningful opponent, both for Hoffenheim and for Xiao Qing.

Stuttgart and Hoffenheim are both located in Baden. Württemberg's team, although there were Bundesliga teams including Karlsruhe and Eintracht Frankfurt here, but when Hoffenheim rose to promote the Bundesliga. They are also Stuttgart's rivals, and they are also robbing the local fans; Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, in particular, are only a few tens of kilometres away from Hoffenheim.

For the rising Hoffenheim, Stuttgart definitely doesn't have much favor; Although Stuttgart is a team aspiring to win the Bundesliga, and although Hoffenheim does not seem to be able to cause too much trouble for Stuttgart at the moment, Hoffenheim seem to have liked, or rather preferred, the corners of the state's powerhouses.

Rotthaus, now head of Athletic Hoffenheim, but he was previously general manager of Stuttgart; Speaking of Lehmann's return to the Bundesliga from Arsenal on a free transfer this summer, Germany's main goalkeeper choosing Stuttgart is largely related to Hoffenheim. Because Hoffenheim's athletic director Rothouse has a cousin, and that is the famous Lehmann. Lehmann joined Stuttgart this season on the advice of his cousin. Thomas. Weiss, a former member of the Stuttgart youth team. Now one of Hoffenheim's main substitutes; As for Andrés . Beck, who is an excellent young wing-back produced by the Stuttgart academy, was poached by Hoffenheim despite his unsatisfactory performance in Stuttgart last season.

Stuttgart doesn't necessarily care about them, because as a quasi-giant team, Stuttgart's resources are still quite deep; But speaking of which, no matter how rich you are, you can't bear to have a neighbor who is wielding a little hoe at any time! Although Hoffenheim is basically difficult to shake Stuttgart's foundations, Stuttgart really doesn't like the constant digging of the wall like the little brother in the city.

For Stuttgart, Xiao Qing definitely doesn't have much feeling; Although he was rejected for a trial in Stuttgart, one thing is certain, that is, Xiao Qing's ability at that time was really not enough, no wonder Stuttgart looked away, it was Xiao Qing who did not have that ability at that time. And it must be admitted that although Xiao Qing has no complaints about Stuttgart, when he really faces Stuttgart, Xiao Qing must hope that he can have a better performance in this game, and he wants to prove himself again in front of Stuttgart, it is so simple, there is no revenge or the like, because there is no hatred between them at all!

On September 13, 2008, the Carl Benz Stadium was full of cheers, and the stadium with a capacity of about 30,000 people was already full of fans; Although a large part of them are Hoffenheim fans, there are also a large number of fans who support Stuttgart.

The goalkeeper is still Ozcan; Baker, Nelsson, Kompa and Ibosberg on the back line; As for the midfield, it is naturally the basically stereotyped Gustavo, Eduardo and Salihovic; Up front, Xiao Qing, Edu and Ibisevic. Although they suffered a tragic slaughter in the previous round because of such a crazy attacking formation, Hoffenheim seems to have made up their minds to take their crazy attack to the extreme, even if they are scored more goals by their opponents, they will stick to this tactic, and they will strive to score more goals than their opponents!

As for Stuttgart, they are determined to win the league title this season, at least to qualify for the Champions League, so Stuttgart's squad is still quite competitive.

Goalkeeper Jens. Lehmann, Bolaruz, Tuschi, Delpierre, Roberto in the back line. Hilbert and Artur. Boca is lined up from right to left; Midfielder Sammy. Khedira and Thomas. Hitzsperger became a dragged midfielder, Young. Simmak and Lanig are up front, and Gomes, the lone arrow, is also an efficient striker that Hoffenheim needs to be afraid of.

Needless to say, Lehmann has fought with the lion king Kahn in this position in the German national goal for a lifetime, and as a result, the old naughty boy Lehmann finally got the position of the main goalkeeper in the 06 German Shijie Cup, and his performance in the 08 European Cup was also very good.

Sammy. Khedira is a representative of the emerging golden generation of Germany, also a midfielder, and his popularity is even higher than that of Piggy Schweinsteiger; Khedira's characteristics are very distinct, and he is also very good at the big picture and command, and is the most similar to Ballack in the new generation of German players. Khedira's passing and cutting in the back row were dangerous and he showed excellent quality at both ends of the pitch.

Gomez, in August 2007, he beat Werder Bremen midfielder Diego to become the German Footballer of the Year in 2007. He is also the second youngest German footballer in history after Beckenbauer; In the 2007-08 season, although Stuttgart was only sixth in the Bundesliga, "Super Mario" won the Silver Boot with 19 goals!

It can be said that compared to the star-stricken-eyed Stuttgart, Hoffenheim's lineup is really not enough, especially the current Stuttgart's style of play is relatively ugly, although they want to compete for the championship, although their offensive ability is very good, but now they are starting to continue to strengthen their defense. Therefore, this game is undoubtedly a difficult game for Hoffenheim, because they need to worry about Stuttgart's attack that will break out at any time, and they need to worry more about whether their attack can tear through Stuttgart's defense.

Stuttgart have a clear advantage in the squad, but they are still quite cautious, they are determined to win this game, for these teams who are determined to compete for the league title and compete for the Champions League place, they must get three points against weaker opponents, they cannot make mistakes at this time, they cannot be passive at the beginning of the season; In the first three rounds of the league, they have six points from two wins and one loss, and now it is time to slowly open the gap!

As for Hoffenheim, Stuttgart is indeed a fairly strong opponent, a strong team that is not weaker than Bayer Leverkusen; Especially for Hoffenheim, who have just suffered a heavy defeat in the league, they need a win even more now, they can't suffer consecutive defeats at home, otherwise it is likely to completely break Hoffenheim's morale, which will make them lose confidence in the next games, which will take them a long time to regain their confidence.

So for this game, Hoffenheim can't lose, they have to get their confidence back at home, they have to get their victory after a big defeat!

In the cheers of the Hoffenheim fans, the players of the two teams walked out of the players' tunnel, although Hoffenheim only suffered a devastating defeat in the previous game, but for the Hoffenheim fans they still believe in their team, because they know that Hoffenheim, who has been promoted from the lower league, has actually suffered too many defeats, as long as they can learn enough experience from the defeat, then Hoffenheim can become stronger and stronger, Then Hoffenheim will be able to continue to overcome difficulties and win more!

Strong people are not afraid of failure, because they can learn from failure, they will learn to become stronger, and Hoffenheim needs to do just that! (To be continued......)
