Xiao Qing was very depressed, he failed to score in the match against Koblenz, and he did not score in two consecutive rounds, which is definitely not a good thing; Although compared with the mess of the previous round of games, Xiao Qing's performance in this game was still good on the whole except for the lack of goals, and the team's two goals were indirect assists formed by his passes, which is already a good result.

failed to score, and he only had two indirect assists, which were all inextricable points; If the team wins, forget it, because then you can still get some experience points, which is better than nothing. But the team was levelled by their opponents in both leads, and a win flew away, which is definitely quite disappointing; Especially when the team lost the previous round, and the team ahead of Hoffenheim in this round also won most of them, which will be even more disappointing.

Although Borussia Mönchengladbach and Freiburg were held to a draw by their opponents in this round of matches, they are higher in the standings and cannot catch up with the current Hoffenheim for the time being; And their direct competitors Cologne, Mainz, and Fürth have all won successively, which is undoubtedly a more depressing thing. Although one point was awarded in this round, Hoffenheim continued to be separated by the teams in front of them in the standings.

Because a win in hand flew away like this, the Hoffenheim players were still a little unhappy, and the winter break was coming soon, so they still needed to hurry up and prepare for the next game; Hoffenheim's players returned to Sinsheim depressed, at this time, even the happy Eduardo did not mention shopping anymore, now they just want to get out of the trough quickly, now they really don't want to continue this kind of game, because one draw and three losses in the early part of the season brought them too much negative emotions, and now they really don't want to face that bad form again. Therefore, it is the right thing to honestly summarize some of the lessons learned from these two games, and then seriously prepare for the 16th round.

Xiao Qing is very unhappy, he has not scored in two consecutive games, and he has not improved his experience points in two consecutive games, so Xiao Qing is still thirty-five points away from being upgraded, and he originally wanted to complete the improvement in the middle of the season, but now it seems a little unrealistic; There are still two rounds of the league, even if Hoffenheim win all, then Xiao Qing still needs to score at least five goals to be possible, thinking about his performance during this time, such a thing is really not a small challenge, because it means that Xiao Qing needs to complete at least one hat-trick and one brace in these two rounds.

Although Xiao Qing's ability has indeed improved somewhat, although he did complete a hat trick in the German Cup, but such a thing is really unavoidable, Xiao Qing is not arrogant enough to think that he has now had the realm of treating defense as nothing; Although the level of the German Second Division is not particularly high, the current strength of Xiao Qing can only be regarded as average in the entire German Second Division, according to the division of strength, in the top league team, Xiao Qing is probably a person who can barely enter the squad. So of course, Xiao Qing now will not think that he has become a goal killer, he knows that it is not easy for him to score goals now.

failed to score in two consecutive rounds, Xiao Qing was a little crying and laughing, this may be his goal drought; Although the lack of goals is worth the fact that the strikers have not been able to score for a long time, there may be a problem with tactics and the form of the players, which is an embarrassing problem that even the top strikers cannot avoid. Although it was only two rounds of games that failed to score, this can be regarded as a relatively normal thing for any striker, so not scoring in two rounds of games is actually not as serious as Xiao Qing imagined.

In the fourteenth round of the game, Xiao Qing can be said to be a mess, not only failed to help the team on the offensive end, but even dragged his feet, so he was replaced at the end of the half. But Xiao Qing's performance in this game is still good, although there is not much reflection in the data, but Hoffenheim's two goals came from Xiao Qing's pass, which is why Hoffenheim was able to score two goals. Although compared to the previous performance of almost one goal per game, Xiao Qing's performance is still a good answer, at least Xiao Qing believes that he can still firmly occupy the position of the team's starting striker, and he still believes that he can get the trust of the team's head coach and teammates.

Although there is no need to worry about the position in the team for the time being, Xiao Qing can't have any carelessness too early, because behind him, Demba Ba and Ibisevic are waiting for the opportunity, their strength is very good, and they do have the qualifications to snatch the starter. The current Xiao Qing has not scored in two consecutive rounds of games, but as a striker, scoring goals is the most important thing he should do, and once Xiao Qing continues to fail to score in the next games, then his position in Hoffenheim will be awkward, and it will be dangerous for him to want to get more appearances.

However, now Xiao Qing believes that his position in the team is not a threat for the time being, and he also believes that he will definitely be able to have a better performance in the next games; Although there has been no goal in two rounds, Xiao Qing does not think that this is a devastating thing, he believes that as long as he can grasp the opportunity in the next game, then there will definitely not be too many doubts about the goal. Although the lack of goals in two rounds makes it almost impossible for him to be promoted again halfway through the season, it doesn't matter, because he can score as many experience points as possible in these two rounds to help the team win, which naturally helps him accumulate more experience points to the greatest extent.

Because there is only one draw and one loss in the two rounds, and the current Hoffenheim after fifteen rounds of games is only six wins, five draws and four losses with 23 points, they can only sit in sixth place in the standings now, and the chasers behind them have seized the opportunity to catch up, and the gap between Hoffenheim and the first few teams in the standings is slowly being widened.

Although Borussia Mönchengladbach only won one and lost one in these two rounds, they still topped the table with nine wins, five draws and one loss and 32 points; Freiburg, who were originally second in the standings, were forced to draw by their opponents in the fifteenth round of the competition, and they also lost to the second place in the standings, with eight wins, four draws and three losses, accumulating 28 points and falling to the fourth place in the standings, temporarily losing the qualification for promotion.

Fürth, who was originally third in the standings, had eight wins, five draws and two losses, accumulating 29 points, and jumped to the second place in the standings in one fell swoop; Mainz, who hold the fourth place in the standings, have also won the last two rounds, and they climbed to third place in the standings with nine wins, two draws and four losses with Fürth with 29 points, which is also a crucial qualification for the promotion play-offs!

Cologne, who are in fifth place, have won another game after beating Hoffenheim, and they are now 26 points with eight wins, three draws and four losses, temporarily leaving Hoffenheim one win behind.

Although the current Hoffenheim and the previous team do not seem to have much of a gap, this is definitely not a huge gap to overcome; Although Hoffenheim's strength is good, the previous teams are also good, although the points difference is not shocking, but it is definitely not so easy to erase.

In particular, there is a gap of nine points with Borussia Mönchengladbach at the top of the table, and Fürth and Mainz, who are in second and third places, are six points; This is the entire qualification place for promotion from the Bundesliga, and it is an honour that every Bundesliga team can only dream of doing their best.

Rangnick is also very depressed, he just came up with the idea of competing with the team in front of him for promotion to the Bundesliga, but he was immediately hit by the blow, which was originally relatively promising, but now it seems that although there is still hope, the difficulty has undoubtedly increased a lot, and more importantly, in the past two rounds of the game, Rangnick has also found some shortcomings in the team. The fight for qualification to be promoted to the Bundesliga is undoubtedly a protracted war, and it will also be a lasting test for the team, both in strength and psychological quality; And now, Hoffenheim's strength is good, but it needs more observation; As for the psychological quality of the players, it may also be good, but the young team is not mature enough, they may want to have no advantage on the road to promotion, and it is even likely that there will be big fluctuations due to the ability to resist pressure and the ups and downs of performance.

Rangnick was depressed and wanted to go berserk, but he could only smile bitterly and accept this reality; It's better to be down-to-earth and follow the steps, because Hoffenheim really shouldn't be too ambitious now, and cultivate the team in a down-to-earth manner this season, and next season may be the time for the team to sprint.

In the 16th round, when the starting rotation including Xiao Qing and Eduardo were rested, Hoffenheim and Offenbach in the relegation zone were in Dimat. With another 2-2 at Hope Field, Rangnick has completely lost the idea of trying to make a run to the top, and now he just prays that the team doesn't go back to the dark trajectory of the early season. And now it looks like they are likely to be on another four-game winless run, as they were against second-placed Fürth in Zuihou before the winter break!
