Chapter 449 Trouble

Chapter 449 Trouble

The winter break passed quickly, and the Bundesliga in the second half of the season also rekindled the fighting. During the winter break, Hoffenheim did not bring in players to supplement their strength as expected by the outside world.

The fans were a little worried, but the keen media sniffed out something. Hoffenheim's performance this season was not good. Maybe it means that after the end of the season, Hoffenheim will carry out a player purge?Having said that, in the four or five seasons when they were promoted to the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim's main lineup and the overall team basically did not change much. Although the main players such as Marin, Long Bisheng, and Kolarov were added, their overall framework was still the framework set by Rangnick when he was in the Bundesliga.

However, Hoffenheim was not affected by outside rumors. After the start of the second half of the league, Hoffenheim's performance gradually stabilized. Although there were no brilliant results such as a few consecutive victories, they were moving their position in the standings step by step.

Compared with Hoffenheim's lackluster results, Long Bisheng's performance continued his outstanding performance. After the start of the second half of the league, he scored goals almost every game, one goal after another, constantly consolidating his top scorer position.

In the No.18 round, they beat Bochum [-]-[-] in the away game. Long Bisheng scored the only goal to help Hoffenheim get all three points.

No.19 round, Hoffenheim defeated Hamburg [-]-[-] at home, and Long Bisheng scored a goal to seal the victory before the end.

In the No.20 round, Hoffenheim drew [-]-[-] away with Freiburg, and Long Bisheng scored twice.

In the No.20 round, Hoffenheim drew 15-[-] with Werder Bremen at home. Although Long Bisheng did not score, he assisted Salihovic to open the scoring in the No. [-] minute.

In the second round of No.20, Hoffenheim lost [-]-[-] away to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Long Bisheng's goal once equalized the score.

In the third round of No.20, Hoffenheim swept Stuttgart [-]-[-] at home. Long Bisheng once again opened the scoring for the team, and the explosive Ibisevic scored a hat-trick.

……

When the time came to April, Hoffenheim had returned to the fourth position in the standings, seven points behind Bayern at the top of the list, five points behind No.2 Werder Bremen, and only three points behind No.3 Wolfsburg.

In the 27th round of the league, after Hoffenheim defeated Hannover 96 at home, Long Bisheng and Li Jie left Hoffenheim, preparing to return to China to participate in the top ten competition.

Within these ten days, the top ten Asian qualifiers will have the sixth and seventh rounds. In the first five rounds, the Chinese team has achieved three wins and one draw in the four games they participated in, ranking second in the group. They only drew with Japan in the away game. Japan followed with two wins and two draws, followed by Bahrain with two wins, one draw and one loss, the United Arab Emirates with one win and three losses, and Uzbekistan with four losses.

Asia has a total of five qualifying places this time. The top ten matches are divided into two groups. The top two in the group qualify directly, and the two No.3s compete for the final qualifying spot. For the Chinese team, if they can beat Japan and Uzbekistan in these two games, then getting a group qualifying spot is already a certainty.

In the sixth round, they played against Japan at home, and in the seventh round, they played against Uzbekistan in an away game. Naturally, Japan would not be caught without a fight, so Ding Yu summoned the strongest players in his hands to defeat this opponent. In the seventh round against Uzbekistan, he can basically send most of the substitutes.

************************************************** **

"Aaron is amazing now!" Li Jie was sitting on the bed, scratching his feet without any image, and a faint smell of sweaty feet wafted in the room. Fortunately, all the elders present, no one cared about this: "Our top card in Hoffenheim, the top scorer, it is no exaggeration to say that we are the number one center forward in the Bundesliga! 27 league rounds, 23 goals, only four fewer than the total number of goals in last season! As for our brothers, Aaron is the best now! When we were here, who would have thought that Aaron would be the most awesome!"

The place where they are now is exactly the dormitory they stayed in when they were in Yunjiatianyu's second-tier team. This time, the Chinese team has four home games, and the places they stay in are different each time.

And this time, the home court is Yunjia's Fengyun Stadium. Many players in the national team come from Yunjiatianyu. Although Xianglong Bisheng and his group have never played a game for Yunjiatianyu, they will definitely be able to play their best in this stadium!

So when they stayed, Long Bisheng and the others chose the dormitory of Yunjiatianyu's second-tier team to relive their old dreams. Anyway, the treatment of all levels of Yunjiatianyu is very good, and the living environment here is not bad at all.

Hearing Li Jie praise himself so much, Long Bisheng was really embarrassed: "Little Li, what are you talking about? Aren't we all playing in Europe now? This season, I'm in a better state. Da Guangming and the others are still playing in the Premier League, Italian Super League, and La Liga."

"You performed the best in the past two seasons. That's nothing to say. We all see it." Dai Guangming laughed: "But you are indeed a bit inferior in the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga's current performance is the worst among the four major leagues... How about it? Are you interested in playing in Valencia? Our head coach has always wanted you to come."

"Okay, you're bright, you're starting to poach corners now? Aaron played well in Hoffenheim, why did he go to Valencia? Besides, Valencia is very poor now." Li Jie shouted, but he was loyal to Hoffenheim: "Aaron signed a contract this season, and he won't go anywhere!"

"Probably not?" Hu Gandang said abruptly from the side: "I heard that Hoffman has started to cut expenses now. You won the championship last season, but you didn't buy anyone this season. If this is the case, maybe Hoffenheim will be cleaned up this summer."

Li Jie blinked his eyes and stopped talking. What Hu Gandang said was true. There are many rumors now, and Hoffenheim's players are inevitably whispering. The most reliable rumor is that if Hoffenheim cannot enter the Champions League this season, then Hoffenheim may start rebuilding in the new season and replace a group of players.

"That's not necessarily the case." The surroundings sang against each other: "Even if Hoffenheim needs to be cleaned up, Aaron and Lizi will not be replaced. One of them is the top scorer and the other is the main central defender. The front and the back are very important. Unless Hoffman is really old and confused, he will not sell them at all."

"What if a club sells Hoffenheim at a price they can't resist? Are there really not for sale?" Dai Guangming said suddenly, and several people fell silent.

In modern football, there is no such thing as non-sale goods. To a large extent, players cannot determine their own destiny. If they want to die in a team, it is not enough for the player or the club to stick to it. It is impossible for a player to be in the honeymoon period with the club forever.

After a while of silence, the surroundings broke the silence: "Hey, what are you talking about, Da Guangming, even if a team pays a sky-high price to buy Aaron and Xiao Lizi, Valencia has nothing to do with you! Look at that stinginess, when they said they wanted to buy Aaron last summer, they were only willing to pay 1000 million. With Aaron's current performance, 2000 million Hoffenheim may not be willing to sell it!"

"Then there is nothing wrong with your Sevilla!" Dai Guangming knocked the heads around him: "Your boss is very smart, but you have always sold players at high prices and bought players at low prices. With Aaron's current fame and worth, it is almost impossible to go to Sevilla!"

"That's all right, all right, I don't want to leave either, I'm doing pretty well in Hoffenheim." Long Bisheng interrupted them: "I said you are really, why are you talking about me, Da Guangming, you have played in Valencia for two seasons, have you ever thought about leaving?"

"Me?" Dai Guangming smiled bitterly: "Barcelona has contacted me...but I'm still hesitating."

Long Bisheng didn't understand: "What's there to hesitate? If you really want to leave, I'm afraid Valencia won't be able to keep you, right? Valencia is empty now, and you haven't been able to enter the Champions League for several seasons. With your current age and development prospects, it's not so good to always play in the Europa League, right?"

"What about you? Why didn't you leave Hoffenheim last season? Why didn't you go to Newcastle?" Dai Guangming asked Long Bisheng: "Although Hoffenheim won the Bundesliga championship last season, it is almost impossible to make a breakthrough in the Champions League! You are not unaware of the sluggishness of the Bundesliga team in the Champions League. Why do you refuse to leave Hoffenheim?"

Long Bisheng was stunned, and then sighed at the same time as Dai Guangming.

Why not?It's nothing more than having a relationship with the team and living a good life in the team. At the same time, they are not willing to leave a place they are used to to explore an unknown team easily!

"Humans, there will always be troubles!" Li Jie sighed shaking his head: "Others see us players as young and ambitious, but we all have our own troubles! These two guys are in pain and don't know how to choose, and the few of us are in pain and have no choice! Sad!"

Hu Gandang, Zhou Zhou, Zhang Yi and Wu Bufan followed him and sighed at the same time!
