Xiao Qing will do his best in the game, in order to be able to get more affirmation, in order to be able to improve more, and to strive for this hard-won starting qualification; These are the things that keep him moving forward in the game, and these are the reasons why he is trying to get a better performance in the game.
Although Hoffenheim's results in the standings this season are not very satisfactory, it does not mean that Hoffenheim's attack power is inferior; Xiao Qing and Edu are actually quite dangerous players, and Hoffenheim's midfield has the strongest attacking midfield combination in the Bundesliga, if not one.
Eduardo, Francisco Copado and Seyad Salihovic, they are all good attackers, their breaks, passes and long-range shots can help the team, they are all very good individual attacking players; So I have to admit that it is precisely because of them that Xiao Qing and Edu sometimes face relatively less pressure in the frontcourt.
Although the number of appearances is still not much, Xiao Qing's experience on the court at this time has also begun to slowly improve; A lot of times young players need to play more so that they can get the most out of it; Xiao Qing is like this now, whether it is the ability to read the game or the choice of handling the ball, Xiao Qing has begun to become presentable, and he has begun to avoid some mistakes on the court to the greatest extent.
Hoffenheim's performance in this game was good, facing the relegation zone of Kaiserslautern, Hoffenheim's attack was quite ferocious, in the cheers of more than 2,000 home fans, Hoffenheim began to attack Kaiserslautern's goal again and again, and the effect looked quite good.
In the thirteenth minute of the game, Hoffenheim launched the first threatening attack of the game; Eduardo broke through midfield, and a cross from the edge of the box helped Edu find a small gap, and Edu also took advantage of the situation to enter the box and cause chaos. When Edu shot with his feet, Xiao Qing only killed in the small penalty area, Edu's shot was indeed blocked by Kaiserslautern's young goalkeeper Fromlowitz, but Xiao Qing had already hit the goal, but Xiao Qing, who was slightly slower by half a beat, failed to make up for the shot. Betta's alert clearance was successful.
In the twenty-first minute of the game, Xiao Qing retreated to receive a pass from Copado and accelerated to break through, although the defenders of Kaiserslautern in front of the penalty area have been waiting for it, but the menacing Xiao Qing attracted absolute defensive attention before quickly dribbling to the penalty area, and then suddenly passed diagonally to the ground, Hoffenheim striker Edu quickly scored from the right side of the penalty area. The appearance of Edu further suppressed Kaiserslautern's defense, and their defensive formation was instantly shattered, and the Kaiserslautern defenders at this time could only hurriedly start preparing to return to defend Edu.
Although Edu was slightly delayed by Kaiserslautern's defenders who returned in time, although it is difficult for Edu to find more opportunities now, he still has other options at this time; Pressed by Kaiserslautern's defenders, Edu slammed the ball into the six-yard box with a sudden heel.
At a time when Kaiserslautern's defenders were in shock, after falling Matt. In the violent cheers that erupted from Hope Stadium, Xiao Qing quickly rushed towards the small penalty area. Xiao Qing is fast, but Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper Frommlovitz is not slow either, and more importantly, he is closer to the ball. Although Xiao Qing's speed was fast, Fromlowitz still grabbed in front of Xiao Qing and made a sudden leap to press the ball firmly under him.
The Hoffenheim players sighed with regret, and Xiao Qing rubbed his hair vigorously in a depressed manner; In fact, Xiao Qing just now has a chance, as long as Xiao Qing can be a little faster, as long as Xiao Qing can start more timely, then he can basically outflank in place. Unfortunately, Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper Frommlovitz was more resolute and quicker in this round of the contest, so he became the hero of the team, and he temporarily pulled Kaiserslautern back from the edge of the cliff.
It was a shame to miss out on such a good attack, but it didn't take much of a toll on the morale of Hoffenheim's players, who were still looking for an opportunity and kept hitting Kaiserslautern on the back of the net.
A lot of the time on the football field is to rely on strength to speak, with absolute strength, then naturally there will be more opportunities; Hoffenheim's overall strength is much higher than Kaiserslautern's, especially in attack, Hoffenheim's firepower is definitely the best in the Bundesliga. So when Hoffenheim made another comeback, Kaiserslautern was in danger!
Xiao Qing is also holding back a lot of energy in his heart, although the previous attack was indeed largely due to the timely attack of Kaiserslautern goalkeeper Fromlowitz, but it can also be that Xiao Qing's grasp of the opportunity is not good enough to a certain extent; So at this time, Xiao Qing is holding back his strength to get back on the field, he wants to get up from where he falls, he wants to beat Frommlowitz, he wants to help the team score.
Xiao Qing's running on the court is more active, and his retreat is also more backward, although it is still difficult for him to take the ball from a long distance at this time, although his dribbling ability has improved, but he is obviously still beyond his power to play a long-distance run. However, as long as he can contain the opponent's defense, then Xiao Qing believes that he will still be able to find a good opportunity.
Hoffenheim's attack was initiated by Sead Salihovic, who arrived in Hoffenheim in the regional league in the summer of 2006. During the Bundesliga, Salihovic became the heart of the team's attack, and now he has returned to the midfield position to form a terrifying midfield combination with Eduardo and Copado, they all have excellent individual ability, and can even play as a guest striker at times, and of course his assist ability is also quite good.
Salihovic and Eduardo had a good chance to break through after the midfield switch, although the Kaiserslautern defenders were closely behind him at this time, but Salihovic still didn't care about the ball and drove straight in, he didn't pay attention to the interference of the opposing defenders.
At the edge of the penalty area, Salihovic suddenly made a short pass from a tight angle; Xiao Qing in the penalty area was defended by Kaiserslautern's defenders at the moment of getting the ball, although at this time Xiao Qing lost the opportunity to continue the attack, but Xiao Qing narrowly avoided the opponent's steal and suddenly passed the ball in the penalty area unreasonably, and the follow-up Edu once again killed from the right side of the penalty area.
Although the Kaiserslautern defenders at this time were divided in an instant to strengthen Edu's defense, Xiao Qing and Edu still found an opportunity.
Edu suddenly slammed the ball and dribbled across the ball under the tight defence of Kaiserslautern's defenders, an extremely dangerous and extremely daring choice; But when Kaiserslautern's defence was further pinned down by him, Edu suddenly sent a diagonal short pass to Xiao Qing in the heart of the box. For a moment, Kaiserslautern's defenders were a little furious, because Xiao Qing now has only one defender by his side, Matiu. Betta is on the mark.
Kaiserslautern's defenders are scrambling to support Mathiu. Betta, but at this time, Xiao Qing also played cards unreasonably, and the moment he received the ball, Xiao Qing knocked the ball back without hesitation; This pass immediately caught the Kaiserslautern defenders off guard.
It's just that what makes Kaiserslautern's defenders collapse even more is that Edu seems to have received a hot potato at the moment, and he has no intention of continuing to dribble the ball at all, and he also completed a beautiful shot; The moment he received the ball, after seeing that the defense was completely attracted to him, Edu stabbed the ball towards the small penalty area!
Zhang Fei can also embroider, Xiao Qing and Edu, two strong players with strong physical fitness, completed a series of short passes at this time, and their continuous passes also made Kaiserslautern's defense take care of one or the other; So at the moment of Edu's pass, Xiao Qing seized the opportunity this time, and he burst out with all his strength and rushed to the small penalty area. Although Xiao Qing at this time felt that he seemed to be pulled by Kaiserslautern's defenders, once he fell, it was likely to be a penalty; But Xiao Qing still used his Liliang strong sprint, because he pinned his hopes on the referee's whistle, so it was better to fight with all his might!
Xiao Qing, who used all his strength, did not allow himself to fall twice in one place, so this time he must defeat Kaiserslautern goalkeeper Fromlowitz; Xiao Qing and Frommlowitz were almost far away from the ball, but at the moment when Frommlowitz flew to the rubber ball, Xiao Qing also made a move, and he stretched out his right foot hard to pick the ball violently; Fromlovitz swooped in and the ball flew past Fromlovec and towards the goal behind him.
Drop Matt. There were crazy cheers from Hoffenheim fans at Hope Stadium, and even Xiao Qing, who was constantly raising his arms and shouting, faintly heard some sporadic shouts of 'Xiao' from the home fans, and it seemed that some Hoffenheim fans already knew him.
It's just that Xiao Qing's celebration ended quickly, because something was wrong with the situation on the field, because a doctor carried a stretcher on the field; The Kaiserslautern goalkeeper suffered a severe sprained left knee in the save he had just made, and multiple ligaments were damaged. His 2007-08 season ended early due to this cruciate ligament tear in his knee; This is the first time in Xiao Qing's career that he has encountered a serious injury on the court, although he is his opponent, but it will also make people feel sad because he is also an athlete!
