Chapter 044 Days without Xiao Qing!
Xiao Qing is indeed in great difficulties now, but there is no way, and the game still needs to continue; however, Xiao Qing has gotten a good opportunity to rest now. Although it was not Xiao Qing's initiative, he can indeed get a better rest time for a certain period of time.
Hoffenheim, who returned to Sinsheim, did not have much rest time. They need to prepare for their 10th round of the league. Although Xiao Qing is now suspended for violating the team's discipline, Hoffenheim is still confident of his promotion to the latest chapter of the tenth round of opponent Bochum.
Bochum now has only won, four draws and four losses and seven points in the first nine rounds of the game. They are now deeply trapped in the relegation zone, and they are now struggling in coolness. Faced with such a team that is relatively not very good in terms of state and strength, Hoffenheim, who is the leader of the league, is naturally full of confidence.
Because it was revealed that it violated the team's ban and did not return home at night, there were still some media in this game that were against Xiao Qing and Hoffenheim. They all knew the mistakes Xiao Qing had made before, and at this time everyone knew about this matter. So what we need to see now is Hoffenheim's decision, because this is definitely a very interesting thing.
Xiao Qing did not play in this game. Although Hoffenheim was at the top of the standings at this time, although Xiao Qing did have very outstanding performance now, in order to ensure the team's discipline and to establish a good image of Hoffenheim, Xiao Qing obviously could not play in this game. Xiao Qing's ban on the team also disappointed the reporters in the media. Although it is very possible that Xiao Qing was banned, once Xiao Qing continues to play in this game, the reporters will obviously have more news to write, but Hoffenheim has not given them a chance now.
Hoffenheim without Xiao Qing doesn't seem to have been affected much. Although Bochum midfielder Dennis Grote was the first to score in the game to help Bochum take the lead, this is just the beginning of the game, not the end.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Hoffenheim took advantage of the opportunity of set pieces and had a midfielder Gustavo poked the ball into the goal net in the chaos to help Hoffenheim equalize the score; in the 61st minute of the game, Ibisevic scored Hoffenheim's second goal in this game, and has completed twelve league goals this season. He is now leading Xiao Qing, who is second in the scorer list, leads the Bundesliga scorer list with two goals!
Although Xiao Qing did not play, Hoffenheim performed well in this game; Hoffenheim had a slight advantage in ball possession rate with a 53% possession rate, and his fifteen shots were on par with eight shots, which was almost three times that of Bochum!
With Ibisek's outstanding performance, Hoffenheim did not make any obvious regression in the game, and they are still quite threatening on the offensive end; although they only narrowly defeated Bochum 2-1, Hoffenheim is still continuing their winning streak. Now they continue to lead the standings.
Although Xiao Qing's suspension has affected Hoffenheim on the offensive end, it is very happy that Hoffenheim has made some progress in this game; although Hoffenheim's players on the defensive end are relatively weak, after tacit cooperation, the current Hoffenheim's defenders' ability to create offside is becoming more and more accurate; Bochum has experienced five offsides throughout the game, which is a great encouragement to Hoffenheim's defenders.
Since the sixth round of the league, Hoffenheim has won four consecutive games in the league. Now they are ranked first in the standings with eight wins, one draw and one loss. Now they are gradually gaining a close position at the top of the list, and now they are slowly opening up the gap with the pursuers behind them.
Although the current Bundesliga class boss Bayern has won two consecutive victories to improve their record to five wins, three draws and two losses, they quickly rose from sixth place in the original standings to eighteen points in the standings.
Although the current Bundesliga class boss Bayern has won two consecutive victories to improve their record to five wins, three draws and two losses, they quickly rose from sixth place in the original standings to eighteen points in the standings.
Although Hamburg recruited in his senior year this summer, they lost to Hoffenheim in the last round of the game. Although they still occupy the second place in the standings, they earned 20 points with six wins, two draws and two losses. Now they are gradually being left behind by Hoffenheim.
Although the current Bundesliga class bully Bayern has won two consecutive victories to improve their record to five wins, three draws and two losses, they quickly rose from the sixth place in the original standings to the third place in the standings. They seem to have gone through the trough since the start of the new season, and the Bundesliga class bully once again showed their strength!
Dortmund has won and drawn one in the last two rounds. Now they have four wins, five draws and one loss and seventeen points in the fourth place in the standings; while Wolfsburg's last two rounds of wins, four draws, two losses and sixteen points in the last two rounds of the Fox Girl Fairy Path.
The league is close to one-third, but the current situation in the Bundesliga standings really surprised everyone. They never expected that the Bundesliga would have such a weird ranking at this time.
Bayern has zero investment in the transfer market this summer. Although this may make some people doubt Bayern Munich's performance in the new season, they are the Bundesliga champions last season. Moreover, Bayern itself is the most competitive team in the Bundesliga. But now, Bayern still performs tepid after ten rounds of games, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
Hamburg and Wolfsburg, which have invested heavily in the transfer market this summer, have good results. They are indeed worthy of their investment in the summer transfer market, and their current results are very good. Although teams such as Dortmund and Bremen may not have much investment in the transfer market, they are worthy of the title of the backbone of the Bundesliga, and their current results are acceptable to people.
The performance of Hoffenheim, a super dark horse, is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Although they were the champions of the Bundesliga last season, there was not much reinforcement in the transfer market this summer. This basically relies on the main team in the Bundesliga period to make some minor repairs. Therefore, before the start of the new season, people generally believed that Hoffenheim might just fight for relegation, and those with better results could be in the middle and lower reaches of the standings.
However, Hoffenheim's outbreak this season was beyond everyone's expectations. Although Xiao Qing's performance in the first few rounds of the league was lukewarm and satisfactory, it seemed that he had lost the strong impact of the last season in the Bundesliga. Fortunately, Xiao Qing performed well in the following leagues, and he once again proved his strength. In the Bundesliga, Xiao Qing burst out with a more eye-catching performance than last season.
But the most unexpected player in Hoffenheim's performance is Ibisevic, who is the most attractive player because his explosion is too unexpected!
Xiao Qing is now suspended, but Hoffenheim's winning streak continues. Although Hoffenheim only wins in this game, they are in good condition. They continue to expand their advantages in the standings. Although it is just a game, it may not explain too much, but Hoffenheim now at least proves that they still have certain competitiveness after leaving Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing was punished, but Hoffenheim's performance is still good now, and they still look competitive. So at this time, especially considering that Ibisevic is even better in form than Xiao Qing, many people are talking about whether Ibisevic can become Hoffenheim's offensive core, then will he perform better in this position?
You should know that when Xiao Qing was on the court, Ibissevic was just the team's second choice on the offensive end. Xiao Qing is now Hoffenheim's attack core; so when the offense is mostly about Xiao Qing, Ibissevic can score twelve league goals, which is definitely a super terrifying thing, and even a thing that many teams cannot do, because they are not the protagonists!
A team has scorers leading the scorer list, and the players ranked second in the scorer list are also theirs. So it can only be said that this is a very luxurious thing. At least, even a well-deserved Bundesliga giant like Bayern Munich, it is difficult for them to form a monopoly on the scorer list.
Hoffenheim is now in trouble with happiness. Although Ibissevic doesn't seem to have much opinion now, but being able to score so many goals means that Ibissevic has the ability to become better, he has enough ability to take on more responsibilities, and he is definitely unwilling to be just the second choice for a team.
In the second game of the League Cup group stage, Hoffenheim tied 2-2 with Moscow Spartak at home. Ibissevic, who scored twice in this game, proved his value even more. Now may be the time for Hoffenheim to worry, because Ibissevic once again proved that he needed a bigger stage!
