Although the 6-2 sweep of Rhine-Neckar United at the Rhine-Neckar Arena was the opening ceremony of the new home stadium, it was only a semi-amateur team after all, and it really didn't have much reference significance. Therefore, when the 18th round of the league match against Cottbus on January 31, 2009 can be regarded as Hoffenheim's first official match in the new stadium.

In addition to the nominal sound, the half-marathon championship could not make Hoffenheim slack off. This is not only because Bayern are actually in second place with less than three wins, but also because Bayer Leverkusen, who are in fifth place, are only less than 10 points clear of the leaders. Therefore, the midfielder will be banned for two rounds in the Hoffenheim main striker season, which is likely to close the gap at the beginning of the second half of the game.

The reason for this season's chaotic situation in the Bundesliga is, of course, because of Hoffenheim, a dark horse. While there was a lot of anticipation for Hope's investment ahead of the season, it was generally assumed that the new team would be in the top 10 at best due to their lack of experience. Unexpectedly, Rangnick led the team to the top six, and basically ranked in the top two, and even occupied the top position in 12 rounds of games, without major ups and downs.

Another reason why the Bundesliga championship situation is complicated is that Bayern are not as strong as they imagined. This is not because Bayern have to face two games a week, but because it will take time for new coach Jurgen Klinsmann to find a feel for his role at the club, and it will take time for Bayern to settle in. Bayern had a poor start to the league and finished 11th at one point.

Although Bayern later welcomed Ribery's strong comeback, coupled with Klinsmann's cancellation of a large rotation and tactical changes. The team is unbeaten in 16 official matches. But he still couldn't win the halfway race. Bayern were held to a draw by two goals from Bochum and Borussia Mönchenchen. It is the most undesirable thing, if it weren't for the loss of four points, the dignified Bayern would not have failed to reach the top of the table in 17 league games and one round, which is something that people couldn't believe before!

In the Bundesliga Half Best Team, the big winner Hoffenheim was selected by six, and Bayern had Lahm and Ribery shortlisted; Hoffenheim have been in the limelight this season and their players have been dominant for a while.

The goalkeeper is Bielefeld's Ellhoff, despite the weakness of the team. Twenty-eight goals were conceded in the first half, but if it weren't for his miraculous performances, the team might not have been able to temporarily stay out of the relegation zone.

On the back line were Schalke 04's Hevedes, Cologne's Jeromel and Bayern's Lahm. Lahm has been consistent this season and although he has not been able to play as his favourite right-back, he has done a good job of defending on the left flank, where he has made his name. When Bayern fell behind in a game with Hoffenheim, it was he who stepped up to score the crucial equaliser, so he deserved to be named in the Team of the Half.

Of course, in Hoffenheim, Baker's Bundesliga experience can be regarded as relatively rich. Because he played twenty-three league games in Stuttgart. The summer transfer has left Baker no longer having to wait for an opportunity to play, and he has excelled on the right flank; However, in Hoffenheim's weak backline. Baker's ability is also more prominent; Hoffenheim's excellent record in particular has also allowed him to get more attention, and now he has impressed the head coach of the German national team, Loew, as a new international.

In midfield, Bayer Leverkusen captain Rolfes has a good attack while taking on heavy defensive tasks; After Bayern's Franck Ribery suffered a serious injury at the European Championship and recuperated from injury, the returning Franck Ribery quickly found his best form, scoring in six consecutive games and providing five assists in the Champions League.

Hoffenheim midfielders Salihovic and Eduardo were also the undisputed selections in the Half of the Team of the Year, with Salihovic's individual attacking style even better, his free kicks and passes very threatening; As Hoffenheim's midfield commander, many of their ferocious attacks were initiated by Eduardo.

As for the forward line, there is no suspense that it is occupied by Hoffenheim's two major strikers. Ibisevic, a striker who was known for wasting chances in the Bundesliga last season, couldn't figure out why he suddenly found his shooting boots; Fourteen league goals are two more than third-placed Helmers.

As for Xiao Qing, it is even more terrifying, he threw off the gap between Ibisevic's four league goals, and it is no surprise that the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season is in his bag.

Hoffenheim topped the Bundesliga and had a great first half of the game, but in the second half they had a huge challenge at the start. While it is true that they occupy half of the team in the first half of the season, that will not allow them to extend their advantage in the second half of the season. And now the other teams will definitely sprint with all their might, Hoffenheim will definitely be under the most pressure; In particular, Ibisevic was seriously injured, which greatly hampered Hoffenheim's tactics, and they themselves were in a great dilemma.

In the eighteenth round of the league, Hoffenheim, which was sitting at home, started the game with enthusiastic cheers from Hoffenheim fans, which can accommodate 30,000 people; Although the opponent of this game, Ketbus, is not strong, but it is really difficult for Hoffenheim to be reassured now. Even after the loss of the two main players, this game has received more attention, because many people now want to know whether Hoffenheim will collapse after such a blow, and they are also carefully studying whether Bayern and other teams will catch up at this time.

The goalkeeper is the newcomer Hildebrand; Jaisler, Ibertsberger, Kampa and Baker on the back line; In midfield, Gustavo and Tebel are double-backed, and attacking midfielders Weiss and Salihovic; Xiao Qing on the forward line partnered with Sanogo, who had just transferred.

Hoffenheim were forced to make extensive changes to their starting line-up in this game, even leaving behind the frantic attacking combinations that they were invincible in the first half of the game. Ibisevic is seriously injured and reimbursed for the season, Edu is still in recovery training for the time being, and Wellington and others are embarrassed; Therefore, the proud Trident attack lineup is now only Xiao Qing alone in the formation. And Eduardo, I'm sorry that he was also suspended for doing something in the warm-up game.

It has to be said that this is an irony, because Hoffenheim paid an unimaginable price for a warm-up game; They now have to contend with the fact that the main team is unable to help the team in the second half, and of course there is the tragedy of the midfield engine Eduardo who is temporarily suspended.

Xiao Qing naturally knows that the current game is quite critical, the current situation of the team is not very good, and the team is now in a very sensitive time; So at this time, facing Cottages at the bottom of the standings, once Hoffenheim loses at home, it is likely to be a bigger blow to Hoffenheim, which was already in a sensitive period.

Yes, Ibisevic is indeed injured, and Ibisevic, who was reimbursed for the season, is indeed Xiao Qing's powerful helper in the game, losing the help of the second best player in the scorer list, Xiao Qing can naturally understand that he will encounter more challenges in the game.

Without a good helper, the team lost one of its main points of attack; This is indeed a rather regrettable thing, especially when Hoffenheim's squad depth is already relatively lacking, and Ibisevic's absence will naturally magnify these shortcomings, and they will face greater challenges in the second half of the game.

But Xiao Qing is still on the field, and he can still play!

Xiao Qing is very confident in himself, although this does make the team's competitiveness decrease, and their already uneven road to the championship will be more difficult! But Hoffenheim are a whole, and there is no such thing as a team that cannot function without any player, except for the absolute core, of course.

Therefore, Xiao Qing is very unhappy with the media that suddenly changed the direction of the wind because of Ibisevic's serious injury season reimbursement, and indeed Ibisevic's serious injury is something that no one wants to see; But Ibisevic can only be said to be an important offensive point of the team, he is not the core of the team, and his departure only makes the team's offensive end less of a good way to score, not the center of the offensive end!

Xiao Qing is too lazy to say anything to those media now, that's fine, if you don't look at us, we won't be optimistic about us, we can move forward slowly in a low-key manner, although it is very beautiful to attract the attention of the whole shijie, but when the team thinks about the championship to charge, living in the spotlight is not necessarily a good thing.

And more importantly, even if he repeatedly expresses the confidence of the team, then those who want to doubt will still doubt, they don't care about what Xiao Qing said, and they won't care about what Hoffenheim did. So it's very simple, if you doubt you, we will do our best, and everyone will not violate the river water; It's just that when we continue to win, when we continue to soar in the midst of your doubts, then I'm sorry, our slap in the face was brought on by you!

Xiao Qing doesn't care about the voices of those media, he just needs to do his own thing now; Ibisevic is seriously injured, and he can be considered to have lost his most important helper on the offensive end. Now everyone thinks that Hoffenheim's offensive firepower will drop, and now everyone thinks that he will find it difficult after losing his helper.

It's okay, then let's look forward to it together; I would like to know if your point of view is right, or if I, Xiao Qing, have completely exploded at this time and scored a goal that has made everyone incredible! (To be continued......)
