Xiao Qing was very depressed. He knew how disappointing it was to miss such a great opportunity. He also knew what the impression would be on his teammates when he was extremely short of the ball. In fact, Hoffenheim's players and coaches had a very complicated impression of Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing, who came to Hoffenheim at the beginning, was a rough guy. His speed and strength were quite outstanding. Even the powerful center Dembaba might not be able to win Xiao Qing in terms of physical fitness. However, in addition to being quite active at that time, Xiao Qing was indeed not satisfied with his basic skills, so with an enviable drooling physical fitness, Hoffenheim only gave him a trial contract.

Originally, I just hoped that Xiao Qing could make progress, and with his physical fitness, he might be able to become a rotation player; but the next thing went beyond the surprise of Hoffenheim's management. Because the team was in a bad condition at the time, Xiao Qing was transferred to the first team, and Xiao Qing's luck or his strength, who entered the first team, exceeded everyone's imagination.

Continuous substitutes scored goals in an incredible way. Perhaps Xiao Qing was active and proactive, but the goal was still more lucky. At that time, Xiao Qing was more like a lucky player, and was a rare player in Hoffenheim who was at a low point, although his strength was not the best.

However, Xiao Qing, who got the chance to play due to a series of accidents, seemed to have completely released himself on the court. At least the current Hoffenheim players and coaches clearly felt Xiao Qing's progress. It seemed that the continuous goals on the court gave Xiao Qing more confidence. After letting go, he seemed to show his real ability and potential.

Originally, he was just a pretty rough guy, but now he seems to have a good dribbling technique, and occasionally he can retreat to get the ball and make some simple breakthroughs. His ability to grab the ball has also improved a lot. Xiao Qing's progress has shocked Hoffenheim's coaches and players. Xiao Qing's strength is clearly stated, so everyone sees his progress. It is obvious that Xiao Qing's growth rate has exceeded everyone's expectations. Although Xiao Qing's strength can only be said to be relatively average, his weird growth rate makes people unable to confirm his final achievement. Xiao Qing's age has reached twenty-two years old and is about to be twenty-three years old, but the growth of such a player who has played less than ten professional games is one game and one change, and even far exceeds those young players who are in the rapid growth stage of 18 years old!

Xiao Qing shook his head at Ibisekic with some regret. Wasting such an excellent opportunity is indeed depressing, especially this ball is Ibisekic's pass; although Xiao Qing understands that his teammates cannot be completely disappointed with him because of such a waste of opportunity, it is undeniable that if Xiao Qing cannot perform well in the next game, then his teammates may be hesitant when choosing to pass.

He shrugged indifferently. Although he was very upset, Xiao Qing now needs to show enough confidence. He needs to make his teammates believe that he does not have any bad emotions now. He must let his teammates understand that just a small mistake just now, and he will still show stronger fighting spirit in the next game!

Xiao Qing missed a great goal-making opportunity to boost the morale of Jena. They seemed to see some hope, and they seemed to see a counterattack opportunity, especially when Hoffenheim's defensive ability is not strong. Although Hoffenheim is now changing the lineup on the back line, the lack of tacit cooperation and the shortcomings of overall strength have not improved much.

Although Jena does want to win a home game in this game, and although as the deputy squad leader, they are now under extremely heavy pressure to relegate, they still want to stay in the second division and they do not want to be reduced to the regional league; so at home, when Hoffenheim's offense is frustrated, Jena's chance to counterattack seems to have come!

But sometimes morale can indeed change the situation on the field and give weak teams more hope for victory, but in many cases, things are still unsuccessful; Hoffenheim's strength is already much stronger than Jena. Although it is not an absolute crushing force, although Hoffenheim has some morale frustration, they are still quite combat-effective, so if Jena wants to play counterattack at this time, it is undoubtedly a head-on hitting the stone, which is not a good result.

Hoffenheim's defense has been criticized a lot, and their strength is indeed a bit insufficient, but Hoffenheim's defense in the midfield and backcourt is not so easy to squeeze. At least Jena wants to break through Hoffenheim's defense, which is almost impossible for him to shoot, especially since Hoffenheim has just made considerable adjustments to the entire defense line. Now Hoffenheim's defenders are doing their best to show themselves.

Jena midfielder Niels Hansen had just gotten rid of Gutavos, and Hoffenheim captain Nielsson made a quick turnaround; Hoffenheim did not give Jena any good chance in front of the penalty area. While Hansen was still in a fight with Nielsson, Gutavos, who was chasing Gutavos, successfully intercepted the ball, and Hoffenheim looked for an opportunity to counterattack.

This is not a scene that appeared in this game, but a microcosm of this game in many cases. It is really difficult for Jena to threaten Hoffenheim's goal, so even if the condition is not outstanding enough, the attack in the frontcourt is so weak, but Hoffenheim can still take the initiative and quickly suppress Jena's attack.

At the end of the first half, both sides maintained zero goals on the court. Xiao Qing, who wasted the best goal opportunity since the game, was naturally a little depressed. Xiao Qing, who returned to the locker room, wiped his sweat a few times and then kept his head silent. Although head coach Rangnick did not clearly name and criticize, he repeatedly mentioned that the team's offense was not effective, which was enough to make Xiao Qing feel threatened, because he knew that once he did not perform well in the second half, he would likely be replaced. Although this could not make him lose his main position, it would more or less reduce his impression in head coach Rangnick. Therefore, in the second half, Xiao Qing will fight and do his best!

At the beginning of the second half, Hoffenheim caught Jena off guard. Hoffenheim, who wanted to score all three points, launched a fierce attack at this time.

In the 49th minute of the game, Hoffenheim intercepted the ball in the midfield; Eduardo, Copado and Salihovic were at the same time at three lines, and the midfielder Jotel Lov passed the ball without hesitation to find Eduardo in the middle. Although the Jena defensive players at this time tried hard to retract the defense, Eduardo, Copado and Salihovic's excellent short pass cooperation could still steadily drive the ball to the frontcourt.

After further compressing Jena's defense, Eduardo, who dribbled the ball, suddenly passed the penalty area directly. Because of the strong threat of the midfield, Jena seemed to have ignored Hoffenheim's forwards at this time, so Hoffenheim's opportunity came at this time!

Faced with Eduardo's picky pass, Ibissevic in the hinterland of the penalty area easily stopped the ball with his chest, but at this time Ibissevic's shooting opportunity did not seem to be very good, because Jena defender Robert Muller rushed over fiercely. Ibissevic was very patient. Although Muller was fierce in his save, Ibissevic easily pushed the ball to the left, and his small horizontal dribble seemed to be able to find a good opportunity.

Just as the Jena defenders were hurriedly filling up the position again, Ibisevic looked up at the goal of Jena; amid the screams of Jena fans, Ibisevic swung his right foot high, but when the Jena defenders were desperate to block the eye, Ibisevic's toes just lightly shoveled at the bottom of the ball and picked it up. This was a pass!

Because of the active cooperation of his teammates, Xiao Qing had a better chance. He seized the opportunity and rushed towards the small penalty area. He could get a better shot opportunity. It was also good to help his teammates open the space for shooting, not to mention that he could still get a supplementary shot.

But when Xiao Qing was running, he saw Ibisevic passing the ball, Xiao Qing was even more excited at this time; using all his strength and speeding up again, Xiao Qing instantly crossed the Jena defender Mauer who was tightly attached to him. Although Xiao Qing still has no greater shooting space now, although Xiao Qing had wasted a very good shooting opportunity before, Xiao Qing was not discouraged at all, and he was still very confident! This time I must stop the ball, and this time I must score a goal!

Facing the slowly falling ball, Xiao Qing held onto Maoer firmly; his left foot firmly stepped on the grass, slightly raised his right instep and gently padd the ball upwards. In the incredible eyes of everyone, Xiao Qing's body suddenly leaned left, and his right foot, which had just landed on the grass, swung his right foot, facing the falling ball, was a burst volley!

Faced with such a burst shot that was so close, Jena goalkeeper Daniel Klaus was powerless, and he could only look down at the yellow-skinned man in the hinterland of the small penalty area with a roar. In the 50th minute of the game, Xiao Qing helped Hoffenheim take the lead 1-0!
Chapter completed!
