Chapter 362 The Redemption of the Dragon Must Win
"Aaron, there is something wrong with your state in the game today."

While clearing the table, Ning Xi piled up the bowls and chopsticks after eating, pretending to be casual and asked Long Bisheng a question.

Hearing these words, Lu Xiaoshan, who was helping Ning Xi clean up the table, also stopped his movements and looked at Long Bisheng with concern.

Seeing Lu Xiaoshan's concerned gaze, Long Bisheng smiled wryly: "There's something wrong. The games have been too intensive recently, and I'm a little tired. It's just that I'm out of shape... Besides, Naldo and Mertesacker are too good, especially in high ball competition. I really can't beat them alone."

After hearing this, Ning Xi was skeptical. She knew that Naldo and Mertesacker were really good central defenders, especially since these two guys were both taller than 1.9 meters [-]. They could be said to be the tallest central defenders in the world.

But Ning Xi still felt that something was wrong. Even if he didn't have the upper hand in the fight for the top, Long Bisheng was no longer a center forward who would be useless when he left the penalty area. He was quite threatening when he got the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area and on the wing. How could he not be able to do it even once in this game?You must know that even when facing Fiorentina, Long Bisheng performed very well. No matter how good Werder Bremen is, it will not be better than Fiorentina, right?At most, it's half a catty.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoshan said: "No, Brother Long, do you think that the free kick was due to your mistake? It's really not your fault."

Long Bisheng fell silent, Lu Xiaoshan was right, he was indeed troubled by this kind of thinking, that game was the first time he was sent off by a red card, and then the team lost the game - so Long Bisheng took the responsibility of the team's elimination for granted on himself.

"You really think so? God, are you so naive? Losing the game won't be the fault of any player, because the game was played by eleven players! Don't say that you didn't make any mistakes in that foul. Even if you made a mistake, no one will blame you!" Seeing that Long Bisheng's slump was really due to this reason, Ning Xi couldn't help but get angry, and said loudly: "If you instead lead to a bad game because of the so-called guilt, then you really disrespect the team and your teammates! "

"Not in good condition...is it disrespect for the team?" Long Bisheng opened his mouth wide.

"Don't you even know this? It's inevitable for a player to make mistakes on the court, but he always has a chance to make up for it. This game can't make up for it, and he will continue to make up for it in the next game! But if the state is not good, then there is really no chance to make up for it!" Ning Xi's voice became louder.

"But on the Internet, I saw many fans blaming me." Long Bisheng said in a low voice: "They all think that my foul is the main culprit for losing that game."

"They're farting!" Ning Xi said indiscriminately. Lu Xiaoshan, who was next to her, covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe that the words came from Ning Xi's mouth: "That's just a small group of fans! After losing the game, they only know how to scold the players, and don't know how hard you are on the field! Without your opening goal, Hoffenheim would not be able to maintain the advantage until stoppage time. If you don't foul, Jovetic will pose a greater threat after entering the penalty area! If you escape, you are a coward!"

"If I escape, am I a coward?" Long Bisheng murmured.

"That's right! And I don't want to scold you for all the fans. The vast majority of fans will definitely affirm your contribution on the field! Am I right?" Ning Xi continued to go crazy: "But if your performance continues today, more fans will think that you are the culprit of the loss!"

Every time Ning Xi said something, Long Bisheng's eyes lit up.

"I understand!" Long Bisheng nodded emphatically. Ning Xi was right. Every word hit his heart. Excited, Long Bisheng grabbed Ning Xi's hands and said emotionally, "Ning Xi, it's great to have you by my side!"

Ning Xi blushed, and gently pulled out her hand. Only then did Long Bisheng realize that he had lost his composure. He glanced at Lu Xiaoshan embarrassingly, just in time to see Lu Xiaoshan look away, pretending not to care.

Long Bisheng smiled wryly in his heart. Now he is sure that Lu Xiaoshan really has some meaning for him. In fact, some of Lu Xiaoshan's actions and actions usually show some clues. For example, when the club is doing restorative massage for the players, Lu Xiaoshan always wears a pair of thin rubber gloves, but he does not wear gloves when he presses Long Bisheng. It is estimated that other Hoffenheim players also saw something.And when Lu Xiaoshan is at home, he will also show some expressions in this regard. If it is not that Long Bisheng is too careless and has no other thoughts about Lu Xiaoshan in his heart, he may have discovered it long ago.

However, after Ning Xi's solution, Long Bisheng's mind was resolved. As for the others... let's talk about it later.

******************************************
In the last league game, Long Bisheng was obviously out of form, and Lannick also noticed it. However, he didn't know the reason for Long Bisheng's absence.

So within this week, Rangnick did not arrange too much training, but focused on recovery. After all, there are still five rounds left in the league. If he does not play well and is pulled out of the third place by Bremen and Leverkusen behind him, then the team's hard work for a season will be in vain!Compared with the qualifications for the Champions League, the German Cup champion is simply not worth mentioning!
Of course, Rangnick also took into account the reality that the physical fitness of the main players has indeed consumed a lot, so in the No.30 away game against Duisburg, Rangnick put Eduardo and Long Bisheng, the two main players, on the bench, and used Maxwell and Obasi to replace them.

Duisburg's strength is not strong, even at the level of the lower reaches of the Bundesliga, but they are now facing the problem of relegation. In this case, the team will explode with more fierce fighting spirit.

At home, Duisburg's tenacious defense made it difficult for Hoffenheim to get any chance to shoot. Seeing that the game has reached No. 20 minutes in the second half, the score on the field is still zero to zero.

Rangnick was walking around on the sidelines. The news he got was that Bremen and Leverkusen had already taken the lead. If this continues, Hoffenheim will fall out of the top three after this round of competition!

Falling out of the top three who can play in the Champions League at the final stage of the league is undoubtedly a huge blow.

"Long, Carlos, get ready to play." Lannick suddenly stopped and said to Long Bisheng and Eduardo on the bench.

This is not going to work. In the case of the opponent's defense, Long Bisheng's impact and Eduardo's organizational ability can play a very good role.

Eduardo took off his coat excitedly, while Long Bisheng took off his coat without saying a word, rushed out and started warming up.

Two minutes later, the two appeared at the same time.

Long Bisheng was running hard on the field. Although Duisburg's defenders guarded him very tightly, he only had one thought in his mind - to score goals, or to help his teammates score goals, and to use practical actions to make up for his mistakes in the last two games!

Just 2 minutes after playing, Long Bisheng overwhelmed the opponent's defender with a header in the penalty area. The ball hit the crossbar hard and bounced off the baseline, which shocked the Duisburg goalkeeper and the fans in the stands into a cold sweat.

Five minutes later, after receiving a pass from Eduardo outside the penalty area, Long Bisheng turned around and broke through to squeeze away the opponent's defender. When another defender rushed to block his shot, Long Bisheng cleverly passed the ball to Marin who was on the other side. Marin shot directly from a small angle. The ball flew past the Duisburg goalkeeper, hit the far post and bounced into the goal!

Hundreds of Hoffenheim fans cheered loudly, but the good times didn't last long. Two minutes later, Duisburg tied the score thanks to a mistake by the Hoffenheim defender.

Seeing that the time for the end of the game was running out, Long Bisheng's tireless running in the frontcourt finally scored a goal.

He intercepted the opponent's defender's careless cross in the frontcourt, and then dribbled the ball forward alone. The opponent's two defenders flanked him. Normally, Long Bisheng would have passed the ball, but at this time, Long Bisheng only had his eyes on the opponent's goal!
Facing the flank attack of the opponent's two defenders, Long Bisheng threw the ball forward, and then rushed through the middle of the opponent's two defenders!Two defenders from the opposing team bumped into him at the same time, but they couldn't stop his momentum!
Seeing the opponent's goalkeeper attacking, Long Bisheng immediately shot a far corner!
When the ball rolled into the goal, Long Bisheng clenched his fists and let out a loud roar!
This is Long Bisheng's self-salvation!
