Chapter 079: The Time to Sprint!

rejected the invitation to the warm-up match of the Pig Association, so Xiao Qing was prepared for the scolding after that; Although there are also some fans who think that Hoffenheim is at a critical moment of promotion, the current Xiao Qing's choice is also based on his reasoning. But Hoffenheim is only the club that Xiao Qing plays, there is only to fight for personal honor, there is only to earn more salary; 'Country, country', the country is in front and the family is behind, Xiao Qing is obviously ignoring the honor of the country, he is a typical example of degeneration in a capitalist country, and a typical example of losing basic moral cultivation under the market economy.

It's no wonder that Xiao Qing is on the line, because in China, basic education is collective interests above all else, although many people who shout the most verbally can't do it well; The current Xiao Qing can be regarded as a public figure, but his high-profile refusal to serve the country is a typical example of the negative teaching material that he wants to be set up!

Xiao Qing doesn't care about those scoldings, he cares more about the current Hoffenheim's results, which is the focus he needs to care about; Hoffenheim are paying him a salary every week, and it is only natural that he continues to score goals for Hoffenheim, and now Hoffenheim's promotion to the Bundesliga is at a critical juncture. Therefore, Xiao Qing can distinguish the importance of a warm-up match of the national football team, and although he is scolded in China now, in the final analysis, Xiao Qing is only a little famous in China for the time being, considering the domestic football environment, Xiao Qing can't expect to get any satisfactory commercial endorsement there for the time being. So now at most, it is just some scolding, and there is no substantial loss to him at all, as for the future, Xiao Qing believes that as long as he can have an excellent performance, those scoldings will definitely turn into praise.

Xiao Qing doesn't have so much time to pay attention to whether he is questioned and scolded in China, he is very busy now, he has no time to care about other things, he only needs to continue his hot form to help Hoffenheim achieve more victories, and now he only needs to help the team consolidate the hard-won league leader status in the next league.

Just two days off, after the quarter-final of the German Cup against Borussia Dortmund; When the domestic media criticized Xiao Qing verbally, Xiao Qing continued to start Hoffenheim's journey in the Bundesliga as if he was fine.

Perhaps because of a difficult game with Borussia Dortmund, the Hoffenheim players, who had not had much time to rest, did not perform well in the 23rd round of the league, and in the face of Osnabrück in the middle and lower reaches of the league standings, Hoffenheim were not in good shape, although they scored two goals in the second half, but the fans who watched Hoffenheim could feel that Hoffenheim's performance was a little sluggish.

As for the two goals, it seemed a bit of luck, especially the first goal, which was a free-kick from Salihovic that resulted in an own goal from Osnabrück; Although the second goal was scored by Xiao Qing, it was only a leak in front of the goal.

Although the form is not great, the Hoffenheim are more than happy as they have managed to keep them at the top of the table with three points in this game. The rest of the league opponents, Borussia Mönchengladbach, finally won their first game in the second half of the game, and they did not give Hoffenheim a chance, and they were closely following Hoffenheim to reclaim the lead at any time.

As for Mainz and Fürth, they both ended up drawing in this round; Fürth, in particular, drew at home to Cologne, which meant that the two teams with only a chance to fight for promotion were a bit of a lose-lose situation. But all this is good news for Hoffenheim, who must be hoping that the other rivals will fight each other's heads.

Sitting at the top of the standings for two consecutive rounds of games makes Hoffenheim's players feel clearer about the promotion situation this season, and they also believe that the team can definitely be the winner of Zuihou, but at this time they also know that the current lead is far from enough, because the league is not over yet, because they have not yet thrown off the chasers behind them, but it doesn't matter, the next game will be the stage for them to exert their strength, and the next game is the key moment for Hoffenheim's sprint!

On March 9, 2008, Dimat. The atmosphere at Hope Stadium is in full swing as they host vice-captains Paderborn in the 23rd round of the league and a home win looks like a must-have affair with Hoffenheim looking set to continue to dominate the top of the table and almost keep the lead in the race for promotion.

But although it is only the Bundesliga, although Paderborn is almost certainly relegated to the regional league this season, this is a battle between the top team and the team at the end of the crane, it should be a battle between teams with a huge difference in strength; However, Hoffenheim's performance in this game was difficult to be satisfactory because they did not show the strength of the leaders in this game, and they were very hard hit in this game.

originally thought that Hoffenheim, a weak team, could make some rotation adjustments, so Xiao Qing, who had played more than a dozen games in a row, got time to rotate and rest. But this rotation was quite a failure, or no one expected that there would be a considerable change in this game that was supposed to be nine out of ten.

Defender Gustavo was yellow in the eighth minute of the game, and Ibisevic, who got the opportunity in rotation, strained his thigh in the 28th minute of the game and could not continue to play. Weiss got a rare opportunity to play; However, Edu was then defeated by Paderborn midfielder Erwin Edu on the breakaway. Cohen put down, thinking he had been fouled violently Edu lost his temper, so he and Erwin. A fierce clash erupted with Cohen, who had provoked the incident, Edu was sent off with a red card, and although Cohen was also booked, Hoffenheim's loss was huge.

In this way, Hoffenheim has no striker on the field, so in order to fight for a goal, Xiao Qing must appear at this time! No one could have imagined that such a game would bring such a huge loss to Hoffenheim.

"Shaw! Resemble! Resemble! Although he only came off the bench, although the idea of taking a break was not able to continue, Xiao Qing, who had just appeared on the court, still showed a good state; Because it was a single arrow, because the team's midfield was constantly delivering shells, although Xiao Qing also wasted several opportunities, but fortunately, Xiao Qing seized the opportunity in the seventy-third minute of the game; Weiss once again crossed the bottom, and Xiao Qing quickly stepped forward to stab the goal.

Although Hoffenheim won this game 1-0 and won all three points at home, they still maintained their lead at the top of the table, but this game was really not satisfactory. A hard-fought victory over the vice-squad leader was definitely not a good result for Hoffenheim at the top of the table, especially with the huge loss in this game.

Ibisevic was injured, Edu was banned from the red card, and Demba Ba was stubbornly still 'injured', so Hoffenheim would have been too manpower on the forward line to make everyone get satisfactory playing time, but in a blink of an eye, Hoffenheim is now only left with Xiao Qing, a genuine striker!

Xiao Qing's form is on fire, but Hoffenheim can only achieve the top spot in the standings with the familiar 4-4-2 formation, but it is really difficult for them to continue to stick to the familiar tactics in the next round, and this is definitely not good news for them, because the chasers behind Hoffenheim have basically won this round of games.

Borussia Mönchenbach won back-to-back games against Augsburg, they are only one point behind Hoffenheim, Mainz also beat Offenbach by one goal in this round of games to bite the points in the standings, and Fürth, Cologne and Freiburg still have hope of further up the table for the time being.

For Hoffenheim, although they now occupy the league leader position in three consecutive rounds, although they have achieved an absolutely excellent record of seven consecutive wins since the seventeenth round of the league, but their current results are really not safe, because the first half of the game is too big, because the competitors are also quite strong, although Hoffenheim has become the leader, but a wave of seven consecutive wins still can not make their results much advantage.

The 24th round of the league will be a severe test for Hoffenheim, because they only have Xiao Qing as a real striker in this round of the game, and because the Chinese national team played a 3-3 draw with the Thai team in Kunming the day before, although it did not lose, but the failure to win Thailand also made the national football fans quite dissatisfied, in addition to expressing dissatisfaction with the players, Xiao Qing's refusal to play for the country is also one of the figures criticized by the fans. Although in the past half a month, Xiao Qing basically belonged to the level of street rats in China.

On March 16, Hoffenheim hosted Aue, which should have been a period of Hoffenheim's all-out sprint, because the opponents in the three games from the 23rd round to the 24th round were basically the teams in the relegation zone, but Hoffenheim's performance was not good, especially the Hoffenheim who hosted Aue for the first time this season, and they now need to beat the relegation zone Aue team to retain the hard-won position at the top of the standings after three consecutive rounds. Although the Hoffenheim players showed a lot of confidence, it was definitely not that easy.
