Chapter 124 Preparations for winning the championship

Xiao Qing was helpless, and now he only smiled helplessly; because of the greed and recklessness of his teammates, the collective fanaticism of the entire team, and of course, because of his previous ambitions.

But now it seems that all this is just a joke for the time being. At least the current situation is obviously different from Xiao Qing's previous prediction. Hoffenheim's performance is much beyond his expectations. He really has nothing to say about the team's current performance, and he doesn't know what to say at this time.

Hoffenheim is only one game away from the league championship, and perhaps only one goal is left. So at this time, Hoffenheim's players cannot calm down at all. They are all very excited now, and of course they also have more ambitions.

No one can resist the temptation of leaving a name in history, and no one does not desire to leave a great and exciting footprint. Now, for Hoffenheim, it is only one goal away from becoming the greatest new player in football history. For Hoffenheim players, now they only need to score one goal, so they can bring the team the league championship and they can leave their own brilliant scene in this glory. So don't blame the ambitions of Hoffenheim players, because they all have such desire to succeed.

Hoffenheim made a big push to attack in the first twenty minutes of the game, and Hoffenheim's offense did look quite imposing; but Hoffenheim's players were more of a single fight, and they did not cooperate well at all. So although the team's offense was fierce, the Cologne could still arrange the defense well at this time, and they even had a certain opportunity to use Hoffenheim's push to attack quickly.

Xiao Qing was very upset. Although he was the team's leading scorer and although he scored quite a few goals this season, he did not get enough support from his teammates now. Although he could occasionally receive passes from his teammates, it was more because his teammates were in trouble and had no better chance.

"Calm down guys, and see what we did in the first half!" The first half ended. Hoffenheim and Cologne failed to score by zero to zero. Xiao Qing, who returned to the locker room, suddenly exploded. He was quite dissatisfied with the first half game. He now felt that it was necessary to remind his teammates. "I am really excited because we will become champions soon! But we are not champions yet, and we have no reason to be proud at this time. We must seize the opportunity now! I don't want to wait until the next round of the game. Let's wake up. This is not Hoffenheim's game style!"

Seeing Xiao Qing angrily smashing the towel on the locker, Hoffenheim players were speechless; this was originally a moment worthy of the team's celebration, and this should be a moment when Hoffenheim gained more cheers and honors. But just looking at Hoffenheim's performance in the first half, they completely ruined such a grand celebration. Although they did not concede the ball in the first half and were not behind, the chaotic attack made Hoffenheim seem to be a group of mobs playing football, and they did not show any performance that the champion team should have.

Xiao Qing was indeed dissatisfied. He and his teammates performed collectively in the first half. If it was just a little impatient at the beginning of the game, it might not be a problem, but in the entire first half, Hoffenheim's players showed that they had no rules on the offensive end, that was a big problem. Moreover, Hoffenheim was able to keep the goal to a large extent because the strength of the main team of Cologne and substitutes was greatly limited, otherwise Hoffenheim would have really messed up their top-top celebration.

"Young guys, it's not the time to celebrate. I think you all understand the performance in the first half. The team does need goals, but I think you should understand that we are a whole and we are about to win the championship. But looking at your performance, we have no cooperation, and our offense has completely stagnated; this is not the game we need, and this is not our style of game at all. We need a victory, and an excellent victory is needed to make our championship look more exciting; but unfortunately, the performance in the first half made me doubt that we may have to wait until the next round to win the championship." Hoffenheim's head coach Rangnick's face was not good-looking. Although he shouted on the sidelines countless times in the first half, Hoffenheim's players did not listen to him at all, and their offense was still so disappointing.

"I don't want the team to perform so badly in the second half. In my opinion, we can get better, instead of looking clueless on the offensive end. Using our strengths, our offense is the best in the Bundesliga; I know you all want to make history. But you should understand more that once we cannot exert our strength, then we are a joke. We don't need a single hero, because we are a whole. This championship belongs to Hoffenheim, and it belongs to every player of ours, not just one of them." Rangnick naturally also understood where the team's problems in the first half were, so he needs to make certain adjustments to the team in time. Of course, it is more important to calm down the impulsive brains of Hoffenheim players.

Hoffenheim players really need to calm down. After a bad first half game, they can now more or less know what they did in the first half game. They were really full of momentum in the first half game, and they did make a comeback at the goal of Cologne again and again. But these are far from enough, because they are trapped in the desire for the championship and excessive persistence in becoming a hero, which has actually dragged the team back to a large extent; looking at the team's offensive chaos in the first half, looking at the Cologne team's even had the chance to launch a surprise attack several times, Hoffenheim can't be so overly uncool.

Xiao Qing didn't know if his teammates listened to it, and he didn't know if his temper at such a time that was supposed to be carnival would make other teammates unhappy; but now Xiao Qing really doesn't care. What he needs is the championship, and what he needs is honor. The team's unhappy championship will only make this championship that should have been easily won look more troubles. Although it may make the teammates unhappy, it doesn't matter. As long as you win that championship, everything is not a problem, because the current Hoffenheim players are in excessive excitement because of their desire for the championship.

Although Hoffenheim performed very poorly in the first half, and although the team fought on the offensive end in the first half, the team reached a deadlock; the enthusiasm of Hoffenheim fans is still quite strong, and now they are still cheering on the team with enthusiastic cheers. They are not worried about the team's performance at all, and they also have enough confidence that the team can win the championship at home in this round of the game.

Hoffenheim fans believe that the team will definitely not continue to be sluggish in the second half, and they believe that the team will definitely get out of the trough; of course, more importantly, if Hoffenheim wants to win the league championship, in addition to his own performance, it also needs to look at Wolfsburg's performance. Although Hoffenheim has completely taken the initiative in his hands, Wolfsburg can still directly "assist" Hoffenheim to the top after losing.

Wolfsburg lost in the last round of direct competition with Hoffenheim, which also made them almost completely lose the possibility of competing for the championship. Although they once played a crazy ten consecutive victories in the second half of the game, they now lost the possibility of competing for the championship. The Wolfsburg period completely disappeared and they began to suffer a complete defeat.

In another game that started at the same time in this round, Wolfsburg challenged Stuttgart away. Facing this veteran Bundesliga team and facing Stuttgart who wanted to maintain his qualification for the League Cup, Wolfsburg suffered a complete blow. Now they can only watch Hoffenheim top the table.

Only one minute of the start of this game, Stuttgart took the lead. Gomez received a cross from the right and then headed the ball to the near corner without anyone competing at the front point, one to zero. In the 20th minute, Stuttgart made a long pass over the top, Wolfsburg failed to make an offside. Kakao quickly stepped forward and then easily formed a three-for-one field. Kakao faced the attacking goalkeeper and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area. Gomez easily pushed the empty goal, 2 to zero.

Although in the 36th minute of the game, Wolfsburg took a corner kick, Lehmann failed to hit the ball, and Bosnian scorer Tse scored a shot from behind and scored a goal. However, Wolfsburg is temporarily behind one-two away. For Wolfsburg, which has lost its sharpness, it is really a very challenging thing for them to complete the reversal in the game.

Hoffenheim fans certainly have reason to be happy. Now they are about to witness history and see Hoffenheim reach the top of the Bundesliga. Now there seems to be nothing that can prevent Hoffenheim from reaching the highest peak of the Bundesliga!
