Hoffenheim's 1-0 home win over formidable rivals Stuttgart was a somewhat surprising scoreline. Although Stuttgart thought that Hoffenheim's actions on the pitch were a bit big after this game, although they thought that Hoffenheim's tactics were more conservative, it didn't matter, it was enough for Hoffenheim to win!

Hoffenheim made changes at half-time after Xiao Qing assisted Ibisevic for the only goal of the game, with defender Terber and defender Josip Jorge Brown. Simunic replaced Xiao Qing and Edu, Hoffenheim in the second half of the iron bucket formation without any aggressiveness, although their defensive ability is not strong, but they can fill their midfield with people, and Stuttgart in this game is also defense-oriented, so this caused Stuttgart to start a siege of Hoffenheim's goal in the second half, but the effect is really not good!

Hoffenheim won and after a big defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, they beat the mighty Stuttgart and proved themselves again; Three wins and one loss in four games, although Hoffenheim's tactics in this game are up for debate, but a total of nine points have been obtained, which is enough for Hoffenheim players to feel proud!

The Hoffenheim players were happy because they had won a game against a good Stuttgart side because they proved that they could keep going in the face of adversity and they held the pressure to win a crucial game!

Although Xiao Qing will feel happy because of the win, Xiao Qing can only smile bitterly about his performance now. Because he didn't score. Because he didn't break his goal drought.

Four rounds of league matches. Xiao Qing scored one goal but also sent five assists, Xiao Qing did not have any doubts about the choice of attack, Xiao Qing was able to send the most correct pass at the most critical time; Although Xiao Qing's assists are basically short passes in the penalty area, this is enough to help his teammates score!

In the last three league games and two Champions League qualifying matches, Xiao Qing helped the team achieve four wins and one loss in these six games, but Xiao Qing did not score in these five games; And Xiao Qing's last goal was in Hoffenheim's first league game, Xiao Qing has not scored in five games!

Although Xiao Qing got ten experience points in the German Cup, he also got thirty experience points in the League Cup; As for the league, they got 70 XP points. In total, Xiao Qing has gained 110 experience points in a total of seven games this season, but compared to the 1,000 experience points required for the upgrade, these experience points are really not enough to see!

No one will deny the importance of Xiao Qing to Hoffenheim, sometimes the judgment of a player on the field cannot be just simple data, of course, Xiao Qing's data is not ugly; Although there is only one goal, Xiao Qing's assists are definitely quite eye-catching, and even in the entire Bundesliga this season, Xiao Qing is still the assist king for the time being!

It's just that this assist king is a bit ironic for Xiao Qing, because he is a striker, because he is the offensive core of Hoffenheim. He should have scored more goals, not more assists. He should be the finisher on the offensive end, not the initiator!

People who have watched Hoffenheim's game can understand the importance of Xiao Qing to this promoted polo team, Xiao Qing's number of goals is indeed the least of the current three main forces, but his dribbling and his breakthrough and passing are the most important, although Xiao Qing's current goal drapture, but Xiao Qing can still be very haode to take on the responsibility of attacking the core, because even if he can't score, but he can make his teammates better.

Xiao Qing needs to bear more defensive pressure in every game, he will be the target of the opponent's focus, the most intuitive performance is that in the game, Xiao Qing's ball holding time is definitely far more than the other two strikers, whether it is Edu or Ibisevic, they all need to attack around Xiao Qing.

The goal drought is not unfamiliar to all strikers, and it is also something that opinions are extremely annoying for strikers, because you can't predict its arrival, because you don't know when it will leave; It's always so nasty and reluctant to leave, and it's always so likely to get a player into more trouble.

Strikers, their duty is to put the ball into the opponent's goal, which is also the greatest affirmation of a striker, and it is also their job. You have to score more goals to prove your worth.

Xiao Qing's recent form is good, and his progress is obvious to all; Xiao Qing's dribbling ability has made great progress, he can ensure that he is fluent in the process of dribbling quickly, and he can get rid of opponents and create greater threats in a small range.

Xiao Qing now has some grasp of the timing of shooting, and some shooting skills have been improved, and now he can choose to shoot at a more appropriate time with the accumulation of experience, and now Xiao Qing's reluctant number of shots is decreasing, and the quality of Xiao Qing's shots is improving.

But one thing is for sure, although Xiao Qing's progress is more obvious now, he seems to have missed the goal; Since scoring the first goal of the season in the first round of the league, Xiao Qing seems to have lost the feeling of scoring inexplicably; It's not that Xiao Qing's shooting quality is not high enough, it's that his luck is too bad; Shots that hit the range of the goal frame will basically be saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and in such a situation, Xiao Qing seems to have a lot of difficulty in scoring goals.

There was no goal in five games, which was not a lot of pressure for Xiao Qing; Although Xiao Qing's position in the team is relatively stable, although Xiao Qing is still occupying an extremely important position in tactics, Xiao Qing also understands that once he continues to be unable to score, then his position will definitely be slowly diluted; It is true that Xiao Qing can perform well on the court, but Xiao Qing at that time may not be the core of the team, and he is likely to slowly lose his position as the core, because he can only be an excellent assistant.

Xiao Qing didn't worry about his ability and jishu at all, what he lacked now was some luck, he just needed to pierce that layer of window paper now; Xiao Qing believes that as long as he can open up the situation in front of him, then his next game will definitely have some changes, even earth-shaking changes. Because many strikers will inexplicably fall into a goal drought, and once they get past this slump, then they will start to explode completely.

Xiao Qing is constantly looking for the feeling of shooting, and he is constantly trying to get out of the trough in front of him early, because there are not many opportunities left for him, because now he can feel the footsteps of the pursuers behind him.

Last season, Ibisevic was only a substitute striker for the team, and only scored a handful of goals in a season; But this season, after the Olympics, after the team began to play a three-striker, Ibisevic began to explode without warning!

Ibisevic has scored in six games this season, including the German Cup, and even in Udinese's UEFA Cup qualifier and in the crucial league match against Stuttgart, even in a heavy defeat to Bayer Leverkusen! Now Ibisevic is a hot scorer, and now he is the top scorer in Hoffenheim's team, and he is a weapon for the team to attack the city!

Although many of Ibisevic's goals are assisted by Xiao Qing, being able to score goals shows that Ibisevic's ability is good; One goal and two goals may just be luck, but every game is scored, it's not luck, it's not all about team-mates.

Ibisevic's sudden outburst can be said to have given Hoffenheim quite a big surprise, originally for Ibisevic's positioning, even last season was only a substitute player, but Demba Ba, who once had high hopes, and Xiao Qing had a conflict and left, and Ibisevic also got more opportunities because of the team's implementation of three forwards.

Hoffenheim seems to be able to harvest unexpected surprises every season, Xiao Qing last season, Ibisevic this season! Although it is difficult to talk about Ibisevic's ultimate height in a few games now, one thing is certain, that is, as long as Ibisevic can not suddenly slump, then he will have a good chance of replacing Xiao Qing as the new attacking core of Hoffenheim!

Although Xiao Qing's performance is good now, once Xiao Qing continues not to score, then in the face of the hot Ibisevic, coach Rangnick's choice will definitely be obvious; And although the current Xiao Qing has left people with obvious progress, he seems to be a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the top league.

Although the sudden rise of Ibisevic has put Xiao Qing under some pressure, Xiao Qing does need to thank Ibisevic to a certain extent, because it is Ibisevic's outburst during this period of time that Xiao Qing's goal drought will not be so deadly, because Hoffenheim still has players who can score, because in this way their 4-3-3 attack formation can still be maintained.

Xiao Qing is constantly summing up, and in more exploration, he knows that his goal drought is over, and he can't continue to not score goals like this; So the next round of the game will be a brand new stage, a game that needs to break the goal drought! (To be continued......)
