Hoffenheim's current momentum is good, and Xiao Qing can be regarded as a temporary problem with the contract, so it should be time for them to continue to improve in the next time; Although finishing in the top six of the table is a good result for Hoffenheim, it is not yet halfway through the season, and even if the Hoffenheim players are happy, they still can't afford to relax.

Hoffenheim, who are unbeaten in eight games, will want to continue their good run and in the thirteenth round of the league, Hoffenheim will take on Jena away from home, the vice-captains at the bottom of the table, a team that can provide Hoffenheim with a chance to steal points. With just six points from one win, three draws and eight defeats, Jena's relegation seems to be a certainty.

Although Jena and Hoffenheim are also after a few years of rolling in the lower leagues, and in the 2006-07 season the team finally won the second place in the northern league and was promoted to the Bundesliga again, although they are the same as Hoffenheim are promoted to the Bundesliga, but the current Jena team and Hoffenheim are completely two situations, although in the first four rounds of the season Hoffenheim and Jena team were at the bottom of the standings, but now Hoffenheim basically has no pressure of relegation, and Jena team relegation seems inevitable.

This game may be because the strength of the Jena team is a little insufficient, even if it is away, Hoffenheim will not feel too much pressure, so the Hoffenheim coach began to make certain adjustments to the lineup, a set of lineup to relegate is not difficult, but for Rangnick who wants to be relegated, he needs more changes in the team.

The goalkeeper is Daniel Haas, of course, and at the back Perl Nelsson, Luis Gustavo, Matthias Jaisler and Christoph Jankel; Jort Loew at the back, three attacking midfielders Eduardo, Copado and Seyad Salihovic; Ibisevic and Xiao Qing on the forward line.

Because Hoffenheim has frequently conceded goals this season, the shortcomings in the back line are quite obvious, so if Rangnick wants to achieve more results, then it is definitely necessary to start changing in the backline, attack is the guarantee of victory, and defense is even more important!

As for the frontcourt, there are basically not too many variables, Edu was put on the bench more because of the rotation, after all, he is not like Xiao Qing who suddenly came out of nowhere to take the main position, he is the start of Hoffenheim since the beginning of this season.

Hoffenheim will be aiming for this game because if they win this game, then they have a good chance of moving further up the table, and they are now likely to challenge for qualification for the promotion play-offs, which is definitely a huge temptation for Hoffenheim, which is definitely the best Hoffenheim can achieve at this stage.

Hoffenheim's lineup this season is stronger in attack than in defense, and Kopado and Salihovic on the offensive side are the core of the team's attack in the German third period, and this season's transfer funds are basically invested in the transformation of the offensive side, and the midfield and backfield are basically more minor repairs and minor repairs in the German third period. So Hoffenheim's tactic now is very simple, that is, attack, keep attacking, and beat the opponent with more goals!

Xiao Qing is in a very good mood now, because Xiao Qing, who has temporarily solved the contract problem, can concentrate all his energy to deal with the game, and he finally regained the starting qualification at this time, which is undoubtedly very good news for Xiao Qing, who has experienced a period of difficulty. However, Xiao Qing is not satisfied, he still wants to continue to achieve more performances on the court, he will not just be satisfied with the qualification to start, he also needs more goals.

Xiao Qing is very active on the court, although he is a little unaccustomed to starting with Ibisevic, but Xiao Qing does not need to be affected by this, players naturally need to have the ability to self-adjust, especially for those players who aspire to become excellent; Although he has cooperated with Ibisevic on the training ground, Ibisevic is more of a substitute, so the cooperation with other players is not enough for a while, which makes it difficult for Xiao Qing to get more strong support.

Because there will be some overlap in running positions with Ibisevic from time to time, and the styles of Xiao Qing and Ibisevic cannot be very complementary, so Hoffenheim's attack at this time is not a threat, and many times the two strikers are more alone in the frontcourt, which naturally makes Hoffenheim's attack more affected.

Although Hoffenheim's performance is not very good now, it is still quite confident in the face of the Jena team at the bottom of the standings, although the attack has failed to achieve results again and again, but Hoffenheim still launched a more ferocious attack, and they will not stop scoring goals.

Xiao Qing, who retreated to get the ball, broke through with the ball in the 23rd minute of the game, so that he could give Ibyshevic some more space, which was a good thing for both Xiao Qing and Ibisevic; Xiao Qing, who was breaking through with the ball, suddenly slammed the ball away from Jena defender Alexander. Maulder pressed, and when Maul adjusted his center of gravity, Xiao Qing sent the ball into the penalty area with a timely hanging pass.

Xiao Qing was a little depressed, Demba Ba is a rough brother, Ibisevic is not a rough brother, but this time Ibisevic failed to stop the ball, a good opportunity was wasted, Xiao Qing could only sigh and come again at this time.

Because he can have a certain dribbling ability, Xiao Qing's range of activities is still relatively large, he doesn't have to stay in the penalty area all the time and passively wait for opportunities, he can also take the initiative to cooperate with his teammates to create more opportunities, especially when Hoffenheim's midfield is full of attacking power, Xiao Qing's opportunities are naturally more.

Eduardo has the unique spirit of a Brazilian player, and I have to admit that Eduardo's feet are the most haode in the Hoffenheim team, and his breakthroughs and dribbles are always able to create chances for the team. Although Eduardo may not have scored directly at the moment, his dispatch and passing still manage the team's midfield, he is a very good midfield commander, and can also be a very good starting point for Hoffenheim's attack.

Eduardo's deft smash suddenly accelerates after a smash by Jena midfielder Jan. SMS struggled with Eduardo's flexible breakaways, and in the Bundesliga it is good to have players who combine the fancy and the practical, and Eduardo is one of the best. Although SMS was broken through, he did not give up, he still chased quickly; However, Eduardo, who was breaking through with the ball at high speed, suddenly shook the ball violently, and the sudden sudden braking stopped the ball so that Simak had no time to stop.

Seeing that Eduardo played the defense of the Jena team, Xiao Qing also took the initiative to attack, because he knew that his opportunity had come; Because of Eduardo's beautiful performance, the defensive pressure of the Jena team has increased greatly, and Eduardo in front of the penalty area has begun to enter the range, and more importantly, there is not much defensive pressure on Eduardo's side, and the other attacking players of Hoffenheim have also begun to actively support, which will be a pretty good offensive opportunity.

At the moment when Eduardo stopped the ball, Xiao Qing began to insert into the penalty area, and he was looking for more opportunities in an active running position; At this time, the defenders of the Jena team are also under great pressure, because they not only need to worry about Xiao Qing, but also need to worry about Eduardo's choice.

Xiao Qing's running successfully attracted a lot of defensive attention, Eduardo's breakthrough also attracted a lot of attention, although at this time Jena team focused almost all defensive attention on the two, but at this time Hoffenheim's other players still found opportunities, such as Ibisevic.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Hoffenheim got a desperate opportunity, Eduardo's breakthrough and Xiao Qing's running position successfully contained the Jena team's defense, so when Eduardo's short pass found Ibisevic at the top of the penalty area, the Jena team panicked, because Ibisevic at this time did not have any defense at all!

Ibisevic was in no hurry to shoot at all, after winning the ball, Ibisevic gently pushed the ball forward, and when the panicked defenders of the Jena team wanted to be more secure, he chose to be closer to the goal! Although Jena's leaky defenders seemed to block Ibi's space on goal at this time, Ibi still found a bigger chance to threaten.

Ibby, who successfully pulled the center of gravity of the defense to himself, suddenly lightly picked up the bottom of the ball, and in the panicked expressions of the defenders of the Jena team, Xiao Qing in front of the small penalty area crossed a Jena defender in an instant; It was almost a one-on-one shot in front of goal, and as long as Xiao Qing unloaded the ball, it was an opportunity to make all goalkeepers feel desperate, because they simply didn't have time to judge in the face of a shot close at hand.

Ibisevic's pass was in place, and Xiao Qing was indeed ready to shoot; Facing the unfast and slow falling ball, Xiao Qing, who was slightly turned to the side, gently raised his right foot to unload the ball and prepared to complete the fatal blow. But suddenly, Xiao Qing felt that something was wrong, the ball smashed on Xiao Qing's instep, and Xiao Qing seemed to have forgotten the strength of removing the ball, and even Xiao Qing had some thoughts of directly wanting to volley.

Therefore, everyone didn't expect such a desperate opportunity to shoot so absurdly missed, looking at Xiao Qing holding his head in annoyance, looking at the ball that had rolled out of the bottom line inexplicably, Hoffenheim coach stomped his feet in annoyance: Xiao Qing, hurry up and go home to practice stopping the ball!
