Chapter 322 Loyalty and Wandering

After losing the away game, Hoffenheim fell to third place in points and was overtaken by Wolfsburg, who won this round. Athletic and the league match against Schalke 04, after these two games, Hoffenheim will usher in a grabbing period in the league, and this is the most important thing.

After being replaced in the middle of the last game, Long Bisheng's performance in training didn't seem to be affected, he was still so diligent, and he still practiced for two hours after the game every day, but after Li Jie didn't practice with him during this period of time, no one knew that Long Bisheng would always practice his dribbling breakthrough and some fake moves during the extra training from this day on.

On the court, Long Bisheng has never been a striker who can break through the opponent with the ball and then shoot. The only time he has such a performance is when he used a Marseille slew and a oxtail swing to score two consecutive goals in an away game against Middlesbrough last season.

But after the match against Bayern Munich, Long Bisheng began to urgently feel the need to increase his ability to dribble and break through. Hoffenheim is not a very strong team, and often relies on the forward's personal ability to solve problems.

Because Obasi has such ability, even Trazino is this type of striker, and he is such a newcomer striker, it must be difficult to squeeze out Ibisevic, a meritorious striker of Hoffenheim.

Of course, this cannot be accomplished overnight, not to mention that Long Bisheng is used to waiting for his teammates to pass the ball before making moves. However, Long Bisheng has always been a player who is willing to work harder for future goals. Just like his desire to become a professional player at that time, he is now extremely eager to be able to break through with the ball on the court and solve battles with his personal ability.

If you change to other players, you probably won't do what Long Bisheng does, because people's energy is limited, and using limited energy to strengthen one's strengths is the biggest guarantee for a professional player to gain a foothold in professional football.But Long Bisheng is a person who firmly believes that sweat can change everything. Of course, he also knows that his strength lies in impact and heading, so he just spent all his extra training time on improving his personal skills. He even set aside an hour to train personal skills with Ning Xi in the yard after returning home. Although Ning Xi didn't play football because of her health, she was a standard technical player in her player days, and she could help Long Bisheng a lot in this regard.

****************************************
Perhaps it is because Long Bisheng has been training equally seriously these days, and based on the principle that attitude determines everything, in the second round of the Europa League group stage, Rangnick still sent Long Bisheng to start the game, but his striker partner was replaced by Obasi. Ibisevic needed to rest due to the recent continuous battle, and was placed on the bench by Rangnick.

Hoffenheim’s opponent is Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. Although this team has not achieved great results in history, it is well-known all over the world. If you look through their player list, you will find that all of their players are of Spanish nationality.

This kind of team is probably the only one in the world. Because of tradition, they do not accept players born outside the Basque Country. The reason is unknown, but Spain itself is a country with unstable domestic politics. Whether it is the Basque Country where Bilbao is located or the Catalonia region where Barcelona is located, they pay more attention to the interests of their own region and ignore the national interests of Spain.

This feature of Bilbao makes them famous among FM players all over the world. Many FM veterans regard coaching Bilbao to win the Triple Crown as their highest dream. In forums and post bars related to FM, you can often see people wailing: "Bilbao is too BT! A lot of money can't be spent!"

Perhaps it is for this reason that although Bilbao's performance in La Liga has always been good, they have not been able to achieve too brilliant results. Although they have won eight La Liga titles and 23 Spanish Copa del Rey titles-this is a terrible number. After that brilliance, the team from the Basque Country never got involved in the championship trophy of an important game.

The selection of talents is limited to only one region, which greatly restricts Bilbao from achieving better results. After all, in modern football, a strong club must be tolerant and not rest on its laurels. This tradition of Bilbao certainly makes the team unusually united and has a tacit understanding, but it is completely unable to compete with other strong teams that employ elites from all over the world.

After Bilbao retired after Guerrero, their captain became Ai Cheberia. This speedy and skilled wide player is 34 years old, but he is still the captain and spiritual leader of Bilbao.

Although Echeberia did not make his debut in Bilbao, but he was born in the Basque Country, he only played in Real Sociedad for one season, then moved to Bilbao, and then immediately became Bilbao's main side Assault player, this kick is [-] seasons.

Everyone will admire such a player. Although he cannot compare with players like Giggs, Scholes, Baresi, Maldini, Bergomi and Zanetti in terms of fame, Echeberia is not inferior to these people in terms of loyalty.

When he saw Echeberia in the player tunnel, Long Bisheng couldn't help but admire this not-so-tall veteran. Being able to play for a team for more than ten years is always admirable. Long Bisheng also admires this kind of player. That's five -- and he's only 22 years old. Maybe he is destined to wander in his future career, just like his most admired striker Vieri.

Leaving Yunjiatianyu was not due to other reasons. Yunjiatianyu had a tradition of sending his best players to Europe for training. Qingdao was just the starting point of his career. He left Naples because he could not get a chance to play. He left Leeds because he already had ambitions. He was unwilling to leave every time, but various factors made him have to leave.

Long Bisheng shook his head, shaking his head out of the melancholy brought by seeing Eicherberia. Now that the battle is imminent, it is useless to think too much. He is not the absolute main force of Hoffenheim, and every game cannot be lost.

Thinking of this, Long Bisheng calmed down and followed his teammates onto the court.

**************************************
The characteristics of Bilbao are their tenacious style and firm will of the players. At the same time, as Spanish players, their personal skills are not bad. They have been able to stay in the middle of La Liga without foreign aid, relying on their collective spirit and tenacious style.

Therefore, in this game, Hoffenheim began to fight for control of the midfield from the first minute based on the midfield, trying to create a steady stream of pressure on the opponent while gaining the midfield advantage, so that the opponent can only struggle to support.

Hoffenheim's players have always spared no effort when implementing Rangnick's tactics, and their midfielder's technical content is indeed quite good, so after a period of time in the game, they began to occupy the advantage on the field and began to create wave after wave of pressure on the opponent.

Long Bisheng faced two central defenders who were also 1.9 meters tall in the midfield. Although he had seen this kind of experience a lot in the Premier League, the main defender of a top league team like Bilbao was obviously not comparable to the defenders of the British Championship, and the pressure on him was much greater.

Long Bisheng began to deeply feel the difference between the top league and the second-tier league. In the British Championship and League One, Long Bisheng could almost walk sideways in the opponent's penalty area. His physique and impact alone were enough to deal with most defenders. In the top league, not particularly outstanding central defenders were not too afraid of his physique.

"I have to add something else." Long Bisheng thought to himself while confronting the opponent's defender.

Only when he finds that what he is good at does not play a big role, people will desperately try to improve their abilities in other areas. If Long Bisheng is still staying in Leeds and playing in the British Championship, he may not have such awareness.
