Xiao Qing was very regretful because he could not score in this game; although Xiao Qing gave two assists in this game to help the team achieve the first victory of the new season, the only thing that was not good for Xiao Qing was that he had no goals. In this game, he also got ten experience points. Compared with the 1,000 experience points required for this upgrade, Xiao Qing was numb to his scalp when he thought about it, but this also made Xiao Qing more sure that he needed to score more goals in the next game!

Although he did not score, Xiao Qing's performance is still worthy of recognition; the weak opponent's strength is inconsistent, but the progress Xiao Qing showed in the game is worthy of joy. In the team's training, Hoffenheim players and coaches could also see that Xiao Qing had made considerable progress in his personal dribbling after a holiday. Now Xiao Qing can use more flexibly and quickly to use more delicate and difficult movements, so that Eduardo, who became a left-foot magician in the team, had a feeling that Xiao Qing's current foot skills are not much worse than him, and Xiao Qing even has more skills than some midfielders' foot skills.

However, although Xiao Qing's foot skills have made considerable progress, Hoffenheim head coach has no intention of changing Xiao Qing's position; because Xiao Qing is a striker after all, and Xiao Qing basically doesn't have much talent in organizational offense. He can become a general who charges, but he is unlikely to become the head coach of strategizing. Moreover, Xiao Qing's foot skills can also make him cause more trouble in the frontcourt, because in the Bundesliga, where the skills are relatively rough, there are really not many forwards with foot skills.

Xiao Qing's progress is also a key to Rangnick's change in the team's tactics. Although Hoffenheim is now preparing to play all-off and all-defense tactics, and Hoffenheim is almost a crazy offensive team. However, if such tactics can fully exert their advantages, it is naturally necessary to have a sufficient reliable support point in the frontcourt. Obviously, Xiao Qing's current ability can meet Rangnick's requirements, and Xiao Qing is indeed the most important part of Rangnick's new tactics!

Although Hoffenheim had used a 4-3-3 formation in some games last season, Rangnick's arrangement of this tactic was not perfect at that time. At that time, Hoffenheim relied more on a 4-2-2 formation with a relatively balanced offense and defense. Now, the team's defense was more difficult in the German Second Division, so now they simply chose to attack with a different approach!

On August 15, 2008, the Bundesliga opened a new chapter, and they took the lead in starting a new season of Wolf Smoke. In the opening match of the first round, Bayern Munich tied with Hamburg 2-2.

In another game that followed, Schalke, who recruited troops in the summer, beat Hannover 96 at home 3-0; and Dembaba, who helped the team score the first goal of the new season in this game, said in a high-profile manner that he was completely suppressed in Hoffenheim, and he was actually more powerful than Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing actually doesn't care what Dembaba said, because he cares more about Hoffenheim's Bundesliga debut that is about to begin; although it is just a away challenge to his opponent. However, this is the first time Hoffenheim has made it to the top league stage in history, which is enough to make quite a lot of Hoffenheim excited because many of them have never played in the top league.

"Guys, this is the Bundesliga!" Hoffenheim players were not nervous at all. They were full of yearning for this somewhat unfamiliar big stage, so the visiting team's locker room at this time could be said to be excited. Eduardo, shirtless, was still shouting. Now he is as difficult as almost all Hoffenheim players.

"Goal! I want to score!" Xiao Qing was also very excited. Xiao Qing shouted very yearningly, "This is the first time in the team's history to enter the Bundesliga. We are about to create a history! So as long as I can score first, I will be recorded in the team's historical honor book! This will be a great progress!"

Hoffenheim's head coach Rangnick smiled and watched as Hoffenheim's players kept encouraging him. Now he has arranged the tactics. What follows is the players' performance on the court.

Goalkeeper Otscan; Nilsson, Ibertsberger, Comper and Baker on the back line; Salihovic, Edu and Gustavo in the midfield; Ibissevic, Edu and Xiao Qing in the frontcourt were naturally Ibissevic, Edu and Xiao Qing. Hoffenheim has strengthened his determination to attack, and they are also looking forward to the team's Bundesliga debut to succeed, so they will do their best to win in this game!

In the friendship stadium, which can accommodate 20,000 people, Kotbus will naturally not be aggressive towards Hoffenheim, who has always been struggling for relegation, but chooses to play steadily. Of course, part of the reason is that although they do not underestimate the newly promoted team, they are absolutely not worried. Therefore, the 4-4-2 formation with balanced offense and defense can ensure that they get more initiative on the court, and they will choose to control the rhythm of the game more.

Goalkeeper Tremel; Iger Mitreski, Stanislav Anglov, Mario Zvetanovic, Pavecevic in the midfield; Zibig, Erwin Scola, Kukilka, Rost; Langlov and Blanco Jelic in the forward line.

Cottbus is definitely mature and persistent. Compared with Hoffenheim's average age at no more than 24 years old, Cottbus' average age has reached 30 years old. Especially in their midfield and backcourt, they rely on more veterans.

Although veterans often mean stability, this is good news for Hoffenheim, because what Hoffenheim wants to do is to completely drag down Cottbus and rely on those veterans with old arms and legs. Hoffenheim players are naturally more confident in winning the game!

Although this is away, and although there are 20,000 fans here cheering for the home team Cottbus, Hoffenheim players are not affected by these things at all. Now they feel excited when they think about creating history. Although Hoffenheim is only a small club to a large extent, it is definitely a very impressive thing to be able to leave their own marks here.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Hoffenheim players began to invade the extremely strong pressing like mad dogs. Compared with the occasionally pressing tactics last season, Hoffenheim now performs more aggressively in this tactic. Now they have made greater progress in their grasp of the rhythm and the timing of pressing. Although they still need more time to better play this tactic, suddenly Hoffenheim's tactics still make the players of Cottbus very uncomfortable, because they can swear that there is absolutely no precedent for such tactics in the Bundesliga, at least they have been in the Bundesliga in these seasons!

The players of Cottbus feel very uncomfortable because Hoffenheim's pressing and pressure are too strong. Nowadays, the players of Cottbus are not going to organize the offense, so it is very good to not be intercepted by Hoffenheim. Although Hoffenheim only has three players in the midfield, they do not hesitate to physical strength, and Hoffenheim's frontcourt players retreat from time to time, so they will start to double-team when they catch the opportunity. The players of Cottbus are just looking forward to Hoffenheim's attempt to catch them off guard after the opening. Now they can only use their back foot to consume the physical fitness of Hoffenheim's players.

The cheers from the fans of Cottbus were still heard at the Friendship Stadium, but Cottbus is in a very bad situation now. In the eleventh minute of the game, Cottbus conceded the ball again. When Scora hesitated a little after hesitating, Gustavo was entangled by his side. At this time, Eduardo's timely double-team also made Scola have no chance to pass the ball.

The cheers of Kotbus' fans came to an abrupt end. After the ball was intercepted, Eduardo directly passed the ball to find Salihovic, and at this time the trident in the frontcourt also began to show his power; Ibissevic, Xiao Qing and Edu made three arrows and rushed into the penalty area quickly. Hoffenheim's tactics are simple, but they require fast; so Salihovic will not delay the rhythm of counterattack at all. Although his dribbling is good, the pass speed is obviously faster.

Xiao Qing gently hooked the ball behind her. Xiao Qing, facing the penalty area, did not slow down at all. With a good sense of ball, Xiao Qing smoothly completed the control of the ball. After turning around, Xiao Qing looked up at the defense in front of her and gently pushed the ball forward again. Xiao Qing suddenly drew a circle on the ball with his right foot when the defender thought Xiao Qing was about to ride a bicycle. Xiao Qing's left foot suddenly pushed the bottom of the ball. The ball suddenly rolled to the left side of the penalty area, and Edu, who quickly inserted it, appeared in a very good position!

The appearance of Edu made Kotbus' defense suddenly chaotic. They hurriedly wanted to block Edu, but they could not allow Edu to continue to break through like this. Edu's skills were also very good. While he continued to drive the ball, although Kotbus's defensive players had almost blocked his breakthrough line and the angle of the goal. Although Edu was a little regretful, he still gently knocked the ball towards the middle!

The Friendship Stadium was filled with surprise, and Xiao Qing followed without hesitation. Facing the rolling ball, Xiao Qing gently pointed the toes at the bottom of the ball without hesitation, and the ball flew towards the crossbar. Although the goalkeeper of Cottbus jumped up with all his might, Xiao Qing's cushion angle was well grasped, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced into the net!
Chapter completed!
