Chapter 018: Making History
Xiao Qing has performed well in two consecutive starts, although there was only one assist in the eleventh round of the game, but it was an assist that helped the team seal the win; And Xiao Qing played a very important role in this goal, his breakthrough and his containment were quite obvious, so even if he didn't score, Xiao Qing still got a very high evaluation.
The win took Hoffenheim's tally to 18 points and they are currently in seventh place in the table, a good result for a promoted horse.
For Xiao Qing, this game is also a bumper harvest; A victory can get five experience points, and an assist can also get three experience points, so Xiao Qing has accumulated thirty experience points, and there is only a difference in starting point experience points from the upgrade.
The improvement of experience is a good thing, but the most important thing for Xiao Qing is his performance at a critical moment in this game, he once again proved that he is a reliable player, and I believe that with this key and timely assist, it is still difficult for Demba Ba to regain the main position for the time being.
Xiao Qing's mood is very good, not only because the continuous improvement of experience points makes him see the possibility of greater progress, but also because he began to gradually gain a firm foothold in the German Second Division and Hoffenheim and find a stage to play. After sharing the good news with friends and family, Xiao Qing returned to the Hoffenheim area of Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. For the time being, the main force of the team has been secured, and such good news is worth sharing.
Rangnick is not satisfied, he thinks Xiao Qing needs to be more ambitious because he likes more goals; So Xiao Qing gritted his teeth and put four books in the away team's locker room in one go. Although the Hoffenheim players and coaches all knew such a strange reason to send a book during this time, after all, their first victory in the Bundesliga seemed to have something to do with it, so Hoffenheim insisted on playing at home to give the away team a special gift in order to curry favor.
Hoffenheim coach Rangnick hopes that the team can be more aggressive, although now it seems that the team should be out of the trough, although now it seems that the team's relegation task should not be too big, but Rangnick still hopes that the players can maintain their aggressiveness, he still hopes that the players can work harder in the game.
Civilization also has some dissatisfaction with Xiao Qing, as Xiao Qing's first friend in Germany, Xiao Qing is still connected with civilization; Originally, although Wenming knew that Xiao Qing would be able to play now, and even occasionally start, he never came to watch the game. First, there is still some distance between Frankfurt and Hoffenheim, and secondly, beware of coming but Xiao Qing still can't play; But now it seems that Xiao Qing is sitting firmly in the starting position for the time being, so some impatient civilizations say that he will go to Dimat. Hope Stadium watched the game on the spot, and even brought some domestic international students to cheer for Xiao Qing.
On 31 October 2007, Hoffenheim had just returned to their home stadium to prepare for the next game, the second round of the German Cup, where they will host German second division rivals Fürth, a team that is not far behind Hoffenheim in the standings.
Hoffenheim host Fürth in the second round of the German Cup. Because the team has no higher goals in the league, although it is basically not believed that the team can achieve particularly outstanding results in the German Cup, the management of Hoffenheim still hopes that the team can strive to go further in the most competitive cup competition in Germany, because they want to improve themselves through more high-level competitions, and even hope to meet the Bundesliga team in the German Cup to make some judgments on the strength of the team; Hoffenheim are aiming for the Bundesliga, not the Bundesliga, so they need to target the Bundesliga team!
Hoffenheim continued the same starting line-up from the previous two games, with goalkeeper Daniel Haas and Matthias Jaisler, Gottrichard, Christoph Jankel 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. In Rangnick's opinion, this lineup is still quite good, using this set of lineup to win all three games, Rangnick naturally does not think that there is a need to adjust the lineup, and even he thinks that the team's next games can be based on this lineup as much as possible, as long as there are no too many variables.
Xiao Qing was in the players' tunnel, and he was a little eager to try; This game is civilized, they came to the scene to cheer for Xiao Qing is just a reason, and more importantly, Xiao Qing wants to perform better; I have to admit that Xiao Qing's four goals in six games is still quite a good result, but it is too bland, and he can only score one goal at most per game, which seems to lack explosive power in the score, and it lacks more impressiveness. Therefore, Xiao Qing wants to score more goals, a goal can no longer satisfy him, he hopes to score more goals; Not just to impress, but also to get more experience points.
Xiao Qing's mood was a little excited from the time he walked out of the player's tunnel. Hope Stadium is just a small stadium that can accommodate 5,000 fans, and there has never been a high-profile five-star red flag on this stadium, so when Xiao Qing walked out of the players' tunnel, he immediately saw a huge five-star red flag stretched out in the stands.
This is the first time that Xiao Qing has felt support for himself since he came to Hoffenheim to play, and it is also from his fellow countrymen; So Xiao Qing was very excited, he smiled and waved his hand in the direction where the five-star red flag was, without thinking that it must be Wenming and the friends he brought.
"I'll just say that Brother Xiao will definitely be able to see me!" Wen Wen in the stands said to his classmates with some stinky fart.
"Civilization, to be honest, I really doubt that Xiao Qing knows you, and I doubt even more that Xiao Qing is a Chinese player, why have I never heard of him as a player in China!" A fat man sitting next to Wenming asked with some confusion.
"You ask Brother Xiao to go after the game, he invited us to dinner after the game, now watch the game!" Although it is only a half-baked fan, Wenming is still quite serious about preparing to watch the game, especially when introducing the players. There were a lot of cheers at Hope Stadium, which made Civilization extremely excited, you must know that he was the hero who created a big situation with Xiao Qing!
Xiao Qing gave Hoffenheim fans a surprise at the beginning of the game, the whistle at the beginning of the game was just blown, and the Hoffenheim midfielder Copado, who kicked off at halftime, found that Fürth's players did not seem to be ready for the game, so he looked at the front of the field Copado directly kicked the ball forward.
At this time, there were still many Hoffenheim fans who had not been seated, and the originally noisy Di Maert. Crazy cheers rang out from Hope Field; At the moment of Copado's pass, Xiao Qing also instantly reversed and accelerated towards the penalty area; Although the speed of the ball flying in the air was faster, Fürth's players were not prepared at all, so they were overtaken by Xiao Qing in an instant, and by the time they reacted in a hurry, Xiao Qing was already about to rush into the penalty area.
Xiao Qing, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped slightly, although the ball was a little big, but fortunately, Xiao Qing's speed was good, and he should be able to catch up with the ball; Although the current goalkeeper of Fürth, Kilstein, has also panicked, he is still not sure that he will be able to win the ball.
Xiao Qing's eyes only have the ball that has begun to fall slowly, and he just wants to score now! So although Kielstein at this time had quickly rushed towards the ball, Xiao Qing didn't care.
In the exclamations of the fans, because Kielstein was about to save the ball, Xiao Qing, who had no choice, could only play his cards out of common sense; Xiao Qing, who was running at high speed, suddenly leaned back slightly, and he directly touched the ball first with a sliding shovel at this time.
Although Xiao Qing was indeed pressed under him fiercely by Kirstein, who then flew to pounce on the ball, and even a moment of violent body collision made Xiao Qing almost lose his breath; But then Dimat. The cheers from Hope Stadium made Xiao Qing extremely excited, this is a goal!
Xiao Qing did score, Di Matt. Hope Field remembered the frantic cheers; The sound of shouting 'Xiao' that was originally just sporadically turned into a violent chant of nearly 3,000 people in the audience!
Xiao Qing's teammates frantically pounced on him, and the Hoffenheim players on the bench also rushed to the sidelines in an instant; Although at this time, Fürth's players were protesting that Xiao Qing had hit the goalkeeper first, but Kielstein sat listlessly on the grass with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, which could show that this time the goal was effective!
Xiao Qing set a record, this is a valid goal, even after countless replays after the game, it can be seen that Xiao Qing touched the ball first; What is even more shocking is that this goal only took less than a minute, to be specific, only forty-three seconds, this is the fastest goal in the German Cup, Xiao Qing used this goal to rewrite a history of the German Cup!
