The Spring Festival is pleasant and short, at least Xiao Qing doesn't have much time to continue to enjoy the Spring Festival, but it's okay, there is not much Spring Festival atmosphere in Germany anyway, anyway, Xiao Qing now knows that his priority is to play well. On 9 February 2008, Hoffenheim will host league leaders Borussia Mönchengladbach!

It's going to be a big game, a very important game for Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Borussia Mönchenchen are still the leaders in the Bundesliga standings, but their current lead in the table is not obvious; In the first game of the second half of the game, Borussia Mönchenchen was unexpectedly held to a draw at home by Kaiserslautern, a team in the lower middle of the standings, so that Borussia Mönchenchen's record became 10 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 37 points.

Although Borussia Mönchenchen are now league leaders, their position is not very secure; Perhaps it was because the winter break had made the players of each club a little bad, at least for the top four teams in the table, the eighteenth round of the game was a bit bitter.

Mainz in second place was held to a draw by Koblenz, Cologne in third place was tied 1-1 at home to St. Pauli, and Freiburg in fourth place was also 1-1 at home to Osnabruck. In the eighteenth round of the league, the top four teams in the original standings all played 1-1 tacitly!

The top four teams in the standings have only scored one point, so the fifth and sixth teams in the table have seized the opportunity, and Fürth, who was originally fifth in the standings, won 2-0 at home to Aue, so that they have reached the top three of the table in one fell swoop! Borussia Mönchenchen at the top of the table now has 37 points, Mainz in second place with 34 points, and Fürth in third place with 32 points, and they temporarily occupy three potential promotion spots. As for Cologne in fourth place, 31 points, and Freiburg in fifth place 30 points.

Hoffenheim won away at Wiesbaden in the eighteenth round, and their record has become eight wins, six draws, four losses and 30 points, if they hadn't lost to Freiburg at the beginning of the season, Hoffenheim may not have to have the same points as Freiburg but are in sixth place unchanged.

Although the team's results are good, although Xiao Qing also expressed his ambitions during the Spring Festival, and head coach Rangnick and owner Hope also seem to have such an idea, Hoffenheim will not announce their idea of wanting to go to the next level yet, because it will only put pressure on the team, and now they need to calm down, and they still need to study their promotion strategy well.

But one thing is for sure, the Bundesliga can only have a maximum of three teams promoted to the Bundesliga each year, so the top three in the table are crucial; Borussia Mönchengladbach are the leaders in the standings, but they are ahead of Hoffenheim by a lot, but not much, only seven points! That's not to mention the fact that the other teams in the standings are less than two games ahead of Hoffenheim!

For those teams looking to be promoted, they will be crucial matches against each other, and it will most likely determine the final form of the league.

Now one thing is certain, although Borussia Mönchengladbach are the league leaders, but the chasers behind them have gradually caught up, so now Borussia Mönchengladbach also needs to work hard, they must face the next games seriously, only then can they ensure that the position of the leader is firmly seated. The pressure is on Borussia Mönchenchen to make the most of every game and only then can their desire to return to the Bundesliga come true.

As for Hoffenheim, this is something that Xiao Qing and head coach Rangnick know; Maybe one day they will say that Hoffenheim wants to upgrade, but not now, they will not miss this opportunity to make a fortune in silence; Although Hoffenheim's results in the standings are good, I believe that no one will think that they are the favorites for promotion, and now Hoffenheim will not expose themselves to more of the spotlight, and they also need to maintain a certain mystery, only in this way can they play more haode performance in the next games; The gun shot the first bird, Hoffenheim didn't want to!

goalkeeper Otskan, Seitz, Nilsson, Kampa, Loew in the back line; In midfield, Teber, Salihovic, Copado, Eduardo, and in the forward line, Edu and Xiao Qing. Hoffenheim put out their strongest lineup at this stage, which would be a pretty good combination, at least in attack.

Borussia Mönchenchen will certainly not have any reservations in this game, goalkeeper Helmolos; On the back line, Lewells, Clane, Davis and Alexander Voight lined up; In midfield, Polanski and Kalidou Koulibaly were in the middle, while Marin and Patrick were in the middle. Bowe played in the midfield position, and up front was Moses Lamidi and veteran Oliver Brown. Neuville partner.

Xiao Qing is in a good mood, although it is still the New Year, but the competition still has to be competitive. After the simple appearance ceremony, Xiao Qing waved in the direction of the stands with a smile when he hadn't kicked off yet, although he didn't know where his parents were sitting, but he could know the general direction.

"Shaw! Resemble! Resemble! Suddenly, Dimat. There was a shout from Hope Stadium, first the east stand where Xiao Qing waved his hand, and gradually turned into a chorus of chanting from this stadium. Xiao Qing was obviously stunned, and he didn't know what was going on; In fact, not only Xiao Qing, but even Xiao Qing's teammates, including Borussia Mönchengladbach's players, were stunned by this sudden scene, and they were all a little overwhelmed.

Although there was some surprise, Xiao Qing quickly reacted; It seems that the Hoffenheim fans have misunderstood, they think they are interacting with them! But although it may be a misunderstanding, it will be a misunderstanding of beauty. Although it is only a small stadium with 5,000 people, the chorus of nearly 5,000 people can still make people feel excited, especially the space of the stadium is relatively small, so these cheers seem to explode in the ears.

Xiao Qing is very happy, this is a very beautiful New Year's gift, it is a gift that makes people feel excited! For football, nothing is more important than being recognized by the fans, and now Xiao Qing can be sure that he has conquered almost all the Hoffenheim fans!

Xiao Qing did basically conquer all Hoffenheim fans, scoring the only goal of the game in the last round to help the team get off to a good start in the second half of the game, and earlier on he helped Hoffenheim win the top flight for the first time in history to reach the quarterfinals of the German Cup for the first time in history, and earlier drew a more successful end to the team's first half of the Bundesliga with a hat-trick.

So Xiao Qing has a reason to be the darling of Hoffenheim's fans, and he has a reason to be one of the most popular players in this stadium; All of this was won by Xiao Qing with his performances on the pitch, and all of this is the honor he won after helping Hoffenheim to win again and again.

Xiao Qing enjoyed such cheers very much, and he kept raising his arms to signal that the cheers of the fans were a little stronger; The fans also responded enthusiastically to Xiao Qing's request, "Xiao! Resemble! Resemble! ”！

The enthusiasm of the fans and Xiao Qing's desphenation make all the players of the two teams envious and jealous, although the players of Borussia Mönchengladbach have more or less seen some of the big world, although their home stadium Prussia Park Stadium can accommodate 50,000 people, but when Borussia Mönchengladbach was relegated to the German Second Division, their home stadium has rarely been filled, and more importantly, the fans cheered in unison, which they basically failed to do.

The players of Mönchen were in a bad mood, but the players of Hoffenheim were naturally envious and jealous of Xiao Qing; There are many who are envious and jealous, and there are also those who hate it.

Demba Ba looked at Xiao Qing with excitement on his face and was very aggrieved, he was the team's main reinforcement at the beginning, and Xiao Qing was just a nobody at that time; But no one thought that Xiao Qing would suddenly rise, and no one could have imagined that Xiao Qing would unexpectedly even sit firmly in the main force at such a time. Demba Ba is very confident in himself, he believes that he can do better than Xiao Qing, and he feels that he should actually get the crazy cheers of the fans in the stadium, but only if he has the opportunity to play.

Including Xiao Qing's former brother Tobias. Weiss and Ibisevic, they are all looking at Xiao Qing with complicated eyes now; They all know how bad Xiao Qing's situation was at the beginning, but now Xiao Qing has become the main force of the team, and there is even a tendency to develop into the core; But they were sitting on the bench with Xiao Qing at the beginning, and now they are still sitting on the bench waiting for the opportunity.

Xiao Qing is very satisfied, he believes that his parents will feel proud when they see him treated like this in this stadium, he believes that he has just begun his great journey to conquer the stadium, and now, this is just a starting point, all I have to do now is to make a good game in Mainz!

The referee's whistle also sounded at this time, and Xiao Qing ended the celebration and prepared to start the game; But suddenly, Xiao Qing was a little stunned, because the defenders of Mönchengladbach, who would basically compete with him, looked at him with quite complicated eyes, and Xiao Qing was covered in goosebumps, "Boss, what kind of trouble are you doing?!"
