The game against Ivbus was a fresh start for Hoffenheim, not only because it was the start of the second half of the season, but also because Hoffenheim now need to learn to adapt to new tactics and learn to continue winning despite injuries to their main squad. Of course, it was a strange start for them in their new home stadium.

Although after more than a month of rest, although the current Hoffenheim did not press all over the field as in the first half of the game, the combination of two backs still made Hoffenheim's defense look good, and more importantly, the current Hoffenheim is steady and steady, and they began to try positional warfare. In the new home stadium, Hoffenheim feel good in the not particularly familiar tactics, because they played well in this game; Despite the loss of two generals, Hoffenheim was not as vulnerable as expected.

The Hoffenheim players were very positive at the start of the game, hoping to continue the first half of the race, celebrating the use of the new stadium with a win and of course taking away the bad luck of this time.

Xiao Qing is a little unaccustomed to it, in the first half of the game, Ibyshevic and Edu were on both sides of themselves, and they need to constantly pull space for themselves and feed themselves the ball. But now, although the newly transferred Sanogo has good strength, he obviously cannot have a tacit understanding with Xiao Qing like Ibisevic and Edu; More importantly, in the tactics of double strikers, although Xiao Qing is still the core, the opportunity is different from the position on the court.

Xiao Qing also needs to find a tacit understanding with Sanogo. There needs to be more connection between them on the pitch. They need to be familiar with the way they play. But one thing is better. Xiao Qing is the core of the attack, and although Sanogo can't play in other teams, he is relatively experienced, and he can know his position.

Although there is no crazy pressing, although it is now necessary to run according to the tactics at a glance, but the current Hoffenheim players' tactical literacy is still relatively good, although they may be a little unaccustomed, some subconscious in the first half of the game will still make Hoffenheim's current tactics fall into some chaos. But their ability to self-adjust is reassuring.

Hoffenheim will not allow for surprises in this game, and against Cottage Ivbus near the relegation zone, it was a good time for them to steal points and it was the best time for them to get through this difficult time. So the Hoffenheim players work hard and they take every opportunity very seriously.

In the 28th minute, Salihovic took a corner kick, and Tebel nodded the ball from afar; Xiao Qing in the small forbidden area jumped to the top, although he may have hit someone in the crowd, although he lost his balance and almost fell on the grass on his stomach. But the ball smashed over his head and flew into the net to give his team the lead.

The 1-0 lead was a relief to the Hoffenheim players. In fact, at this time, they are still a little bottomless in their hearts; New tactics, main injuries and bans. This made Hoffenheim, who originally lacked depth in the squad, even more constrained. And now that Xiao Qing has scored, Hoffenheim can be regarded as relieved.

Now Xiao Qing has scored his 19th league goal of the season, which also means that Xiao Qing seems to continue his hot form in the first half of the game; This is undoubtedly great news for Hoffenheim, who has just lost its main scorer, because a core like Xiao Qing can continue to perform well, which is the key to Hoffenheim's hope in the second half of the game.

Rhine. The atmosphere at the Neckar Stadium is quite hot, as the most beautiful team in the first half, Hoffenheim is very popular after winning the halfway championship; Although there were a series of depressed and unfortunate things during the winter break, but now Hoffenheim can continue to win, which means that Hoffenheim can give fans more surprises! Xiao Qing's goal made these fans understand that even if the team will encounter a lot of challenges in the second half of the game, they still have great hope!

Xiao Qing's goal made Hoffenheim finally find a good outlet at the beginning of this depressed new year, and the Hoffenheim people who had been depressed for a long time were finally able to cheer loudly at this time. And such a joyous moment, Sanogo makes the celebration of Hoffenheim even more enjoyable!

In the 36th minute of the game, Sanogo received a long pass and passed it to Xiao Qing in the penalty area, Xiao Qing slammed the ball to open a very small gap and continued to impact the goal with the ball; In the small penalty area, Xiao Qing passed the ball with his heel, and the follow-up Sanogo scored from close range! Hoffenheim took a 2-0 lead and they got off to a pretty good start in the second half of the race!

Hoffenheim continue to lead the table, albeit by just two goals, and compared to Hoffenheim's big wins in the first half of the game, such a victory seems to have nothing to boast about. But it was a game that really meant a lot for Hoffenheim, and after the victory, the German media also caused a stir in the German media, as their expected Hoffenheim rout seemed to have no signs at all.

Ibisevic's season reimbursement and Eduardo's suspension were seen by many as a turning point in Hoffenheim's magical journey, who believed that Hoffenheim would lose the energy to continue running at the start of the second half of the race. But now it looks like it was just a joke, because not only can Hoffenheim continue to win, but they can also take advantage of the opportunity to extend their advantage!

Xiao Qing's goal made everyone understand that although he lost the second scorer in the team, as the leader of the Bundesliga scorer list, Xiao Qing was still able to help the team continue to win with his own goals, and he was still able to use more goals to carry the team and compete with a group of giants!

Scored 19 goals in 18 rounds, Xiao Qing proved himself with his performance, Xiao Qing's pass and shot in the game proved that although Ibisevic was injured and reimbursed for the season, as long as he was there, then Hoffenheim's forward line is still full of threat! At this time, many media were surprised to find that they originally thought that Ibisevic, who scored 14 goals, was magical enough, but they seemed to forget that the most amazing player in Hoffenheim was Xiao Qing, and the most important player was also Xiao Qing!

Although Ibisevic was injured, Sanogo, who had just transferred, also gave Hoffenheim fans a lot of surprises; With the goal on his Hoffenheim debut, Sanogo's Hoffenheim career was undoubtedly quite a success. And for Hoffenheim, maybe Sanogo won't have the magic of Ibisevic, he may not be able to fill the void left by Ibisevic; But it is enough for Sanogo, who looks to be in good form and quality, to help Hoffenheim through the toughest moments.

Hoffenheim got off to a flying start to the second half of the season as they were met with doubts as they were given a valuable three points in a dire situation; Now they continue to maintain the lead in the standings, this magical promotion horse seems to still have to challenge people's expected bottom line, they are constantly touching everyone's nerves, because the current Hoffenheim is unstoppable, even if they encounter huge difficulties they can save the day!

Hoffenheim emerged victorious, which allowed them to continue to lead the standings; And for those teams who were very confident before the start of the second half of the game, they will start to work hard and start closing the gap with Hoffenheim, although they did not encounter such an unlucky thing as Hoffenheim, but their second half of the game is really not satisfactory.

Although Hertha Berlin beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at home to continue to put pressure on Hoffenheim in the table, and although Hamburg still won after selling two dollars in a row, they still maintain some clear gaps with Hoffenheim. They still seem to be able to follow Hoffenheim in the standings, and they could catch up at any time if Hoffenheim are not careful, but the rest of the teams are not so lucky at this time.

Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg drew 1-1 away at Cologne; Although they got a point, the gap between them and Hoffenheim was further widened. However, they were lucky, as among the teams in the top few of the table, there was an upset at the start of the second half of the game.

Bremen were beaten at home to Bielefeld and they now look to be largely out of contention for the title; Schalke 04 lost to Hannover by a single goal away and now they are still more realistic to pursue a Champions League qualification.

As for the representatives who are expected to make a difference in the second half of the game, Bayern Munich, who are still considered to be the biggest favourites in the eyes of many, even though they were originally eight points behind Hoffenheim, seem destined to be disappointed this season.

In the eighteenth round of the league, Bayern Munich lost 0-1 to Hamburg away, and now they not only lost the second place in the standings, but Hoffenheim, who also won in this round of the game, widened the difference to 11 points! This is undoubtedly a huge black humor for Bayern, who were very high-profile during the winter break to catch up with Hoffenheim!

The difficulties that Hoffenheim are encountering now are obvious to all, but Bayern not only can't narrow the difference at this time, but even continue to widen the difference, they are really a little incredible, incredible! (To be continued......)
