Chapter 051: Upset and Escalation

Xiao Qing has reason to feel excited, he has reason to feel crazy for his two goals; Although you will get a yellow card for stripping to celebrate, Xiao Qing can't take care of these anymore. Although Xiao Qing scored a hat trick in the previous game, Xiao Qing will undoubtedly be more excited than this game.

The first is to score two goals in five minutes, which gives Xiao Qing more reason to believe that he can still fight for goals in the rest of the game; And although Rostock is only a relegation team in the Bundesliga, they are in the top league after all, and Xiao Qing will naturally have a greater sense of accomplishment if they can break their goal twice!

In fact, the more important thing is that Xiao Qing was originally only 12.5 experience points away from promotion, which is a goal that can be completed in this game, and now he has indeed done it! Because it is a leapfrog challenge, Xiao Qing's experience points in this game will be doubled; In other words, Xiao Qing, who scored two goals, has already gained twenty experience points, and now he has been upgraded again, and even once he wins this game, Xiao Qing will be able to get more experience points!

Xiao Qing couldn't calm down at all at this time, he felt that his whole person was about to explode; Although he has gradually gained a firm foothold in Hoffenheim now, Xiao Qing wants to be better, he wants to achieve more; So Xiao Qing also knows that he still has a lot of shortcomings, and he still needs to improve more!

This upgrade is quite timely for Xiao Qing, although Xiao Qing still doesn't know what the upgrade reward will be this time, but he believes that he will definitely be able to find the most suitable choice, he knows where he needs to improve now, he knows some of his current shortcomings, and he knows what kind of choice is more beneficial to his long-term development.

Xiao Qing's two goals were too big a blow to Rostock, they may have thought that they would concede goals, but they would never have thought that they would concede two goals in a row in the game, originally they wanted to find confidence in Hoffenheim, but now it seems that they are very likely to lose and even Zuihou has no confidence!

For the remainder of the first half, Hoffenheim's players were still thrilled with their two-goal lead over Rostock, but they didn't do well in the game because they struggled to form dangerous attacks when they were too excited. However, although Hoffenheim's attack was not very good, the players of Rostock, who lost their spirits, still failed to find their form; Although Dimat. Hope Stadium is only a small stadium with 5,000 people, but when all the fans in this stadium are frantically cheering for the team, the momentum is naturally quite terrifying, and Rostock, for the time being, they are completely lost.

With a 2-0 scoreline, Hoffenheim's players returned to the dressing room in a happy mood, and they were playing unbridled at half-time; It's just that at this time, the head coach Rangnick is still asking the players to calm down, and he used the performance of the players in the second half of the first half as a negative teaching material, and indeed the Hoffenheim players at that time were a little proud, they were a little too relaxed in the second half of the game, and they needed to be vigilant!

The two-goal lead is indeed not small, but this is not a reason for Hoffenheim to relax, because their defense is not good at it, and in such a tactic, Hoffenheim's conceding goals is naturally more likely, not to mention that although they are two goals ahead, their opponent is a Bundesliga team after all, and they are not the kind of team that has no power to fight back.

Head coach Rangnick is very bad, and there is really no need for him to continue to attack when the team is leading by two goals, and although their 4-3-3 all-attack and all-defense pressing tactics have achieved initial results, there are still big deficiencies that need to be strengthened; The two goals in the first half were largely due to Xiao Qing's good personal ability, which was also the key to the team's ability to take the lead. So Hoffenheim returned to their familiar line-up for the second half, with Edu replaced by defender Jochen Seitz, who were hoping the 32-year-old could help strengthen their defence and secure the win in Zuihou's half.

Hoffenheim's players were obviously mentally prepared earlier than the Rostock players, compared to Rostock's discomfort with Hoffenheim's sudden change of formation again, and at this time Hoffenheim also began to enter their relatively more familiar rhythm of the game: maintain the defensive intensity in the midfield, pay attention to counterattacks at any time, and start to pay attention to offsides at the beginning of the back line.

Although Rostock's players did regain some confidence after a fifteen-minute break in midfield, Hoffenheim's unreasonable sudden change of formation made some of Rostock's positive tactical arrangements almost useless, which also made some of Rostock's hard-managed confidence begin to suffer a bigger blow.

The blow to Rostock continued, with Hoffenheim, who were two goals ahead, certainly not wanting to be reversed at this time, and they both wanted to make history and reach the quarter-finals of the German Cup; So at this time, although Hoffenheim's players put some energy into the offensive end, they paid more attention to the effect on the defensive end.

Setz, who had just come on the court, worked very hard, he started to steal again and again like crazy, and his defense was very ferocious; This naturally led to Hoffenheim's entire midfield becoming more aggressive defensively; Seitz received a yellow card in the 60th minute and Eduardo in the 65th minute, but none of this affected the Hoffenheim players who were still trying to prepare for it.

The Hoffenheim players worked hard and they didn't allow the almost already won game to slip away, so they were more positive on the pitch and it put more pressure on the Rostock players. At this time, the players in Rostock were a little hesitant; They were hoping to beat Hoffenheim to reach the quarter-finals of the German Cup, which was something they were sure of in the original Jihua. But now they are two goals behind, although this is due to Rostock's light opponents, but it also seems to be a reflection of some of their strength, although they did not send the strongest team.

While Rostock may have the ability to give it their all for the remainder of the game and field their best players in a timely manner, they may have a chance to get an equaliser in this game, but it was a tough choice for Rostock.

Losing to Hoffenheim is something they don't want to see, but Rostock now wants to be relegated in the league, they don't care too much about the German Cup, they just care about the embarrassment of losing to their opponents in the second division. Now, once they lose to Hoffenheim, then they just need to concentrate all their energy on preparing for the Bundesliga, and they now just need to go all out to avoid relegation, which also seems to be a good option.

So when Hoffenheim replaced Eduardo with defender Campbell in the 73rd minute, Rostock really didn't look ready to replace their strongest squad and fought back with all their might, and they seemed to have accepted the fate of the defeat.

Although Rostock looked a little resigned to their fate at this time, they didn't seem to be going to fight back, but the Hoffenheim players at this time were not satisfied, and when the Rostock players were just a little relaxed, the Hoffenheim players seized the opportunity to start a crazy counterattack, and they wanted to completely seal the win.

In the 79th minute of the game, Copado took advantage of Rostock's players to be a little absent-minded and went into the front field to find Xiao Qing in front of the penalty area; Although the Rostock defenders had already pressed up the moment Xiao Qing got the ball, they could be said to be quite jealous of Xiao Qing; But all this seems to have little effect, and Rostock will still be the protagonist of the news, playing the role of the negative textbook.

Although Marco. Stern kept trying to steal Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing firmly held Stern with his back to the goal; After Xiao Qing observed the opponent's defense a little and paid attention to the position of his teammates, he made the right choice. Hoffenheim adjusted their tactics in the second half of the game, and not everyone blindly made the ball for Xiao Qing, so others still had a chance.

Xiao Qing's right heel gently knocked the ball diagonally, and Stern became a defender of Rostock who suffered another crotch humiliation; At this time, Ibisevic, who followed up in the back row, seized the opportunity, and his powerful volley after receiving the ball in the hinterland of the penalty area helped Hoffenheim win 3-0!

The Hoffenheim fans went crazy, they didn't expect the team to surprise everyone so much at the beginning of the second half of the game, it was definitely a huge surprise! Although Rostock is only a team in the relegation zone, although they did not send the strongest team, they are a Bundesliga team after all, but now they have no way to fight back against Hoffenheim, which is enough to prove Hoffenheim's current performance!

The fans at Hoffenheim are excited, and Xiao Qing is actually very excited; He scored twice and provided an assist, and he was the man of the match in the 3-0 win over Rostock! And this game also brought Xiao Qing thirty-five experience points, which means to Xiao Qing that he has been upgraded!
