Chapter 454 Selfless
"Hoffenheim defeated Wolfsburg 3-20 at home, and they are still two points behind No.36. At the last minute of the league, Hoffenheim, who lost too many points in the first half, can still have a chance to enter the Champions League next season. How many people will doubt whether he will be able to score two goals in the next three games... Hoffenheim's opponents in the next three games are not very strong, we can fully expect the moment when the record that has been dusty for [-] years is broken... maybe in the next round of the league."

Scored in three consecutive games, scoring a total of five goals. The seemingly difficult goal suddenly became within reach. The fans of Hoffenheim were delighted that the team had a great opportunity to continue to appear in the Champions League.

What's more, his own team may produce a European Golden Boot!For Hoffenheim, who was still struggling in the Bundesliga a few years ago, it was simply dreamlike!
So in the second round of the No.30 away game against Nuremberg, thousands of Hoffenheim fans went with the team. They hoped to witness the moment when Long Bisheng broke the record—although Long Bisheng might not score twice in this game, but as long as there is such a possibility, why not pay more attention?

In the end, the results of this game were disappointed and disappointed. What was happy is that Hoffenheim defeated Nuremberg two away. The points suddenly surpassed the Wolfsburg, which lost to Bayern, and entered the top three. The disappointment was Long Bicheng and did not score. It was amazing, and the other time was to make the ball outside the penalty area to help Weise expand the score, but his number of goals still stayed in NO.20.

But after the game, Rangnick highly praised Long Bisheng's performance: "If Long scored a goal, I would be very happy, but his game today made me even happier-he did not put the team's victory in a secondary position because of his own pursuit of goals. He cleverly chose to help his teammates score when the opponent's defender concentrated on him. The final result also proved this. If he only cares about his own goals, maybe now his goal number will be 29, but maybe we can't win this game-he is an excellent player The striker is also a striker with a great character, even if he fails to break the record after the end of the season, the Hoffenheim fans will give him the highest reward in their hearts."

Hoffenheim fans are all on the coach's side. A fan's speech is quite representative: "If Long is a forward who only cares about his own performance and does not care about the team's performance, then he is not a dragon! He has been doing this for the past three seasons! He is the greatest striker in the history of Hoffenheim! No one!"

Long Bisheng, who is known as "Hoffenheim's greatest striker", expressed this indifferently: "Which is more important, individual goals or team victory? There is no doubt that it is the latter. I have always thought so. We go to the game to strive for victory. If we can't score victory goals, the meaning will be greatly reduced. Thirty goals? I will strive for it, but the premise is Hoffenheim's victory and entering the Champions League next season.

Long Bisheng’s statement brought a lot of confusion to their next opponent, Dortmund. If Long Bisheng was only trying to break his own scoring record, then their defense focus would be much more obvious, but if Long Bisheng still played as usual, their defense would be much more difficult.

Bundesliga No.30 three rounds, Hoffenheim vs. Borussia Dortmund at home.

In the game, Dortmund still deployed heavy troops to defend Long Bisheng. This is absolutely true. Even if Long Bisheng is not trying to break his own scoring record, he is also the most threatening part of Hoffenheim. Such a striker, it is impossible not to stare.

However, Hoffenheim's offensive method in this game was very strange. After the start of the game, they did not concentrate most of their offensive power at the feet of Long Bisheng, but used Long Bisheng to attract the attention of other defenders. Ibisevic, Marin, Weiss, Salihovic and others began to attack Dortmund's defense in turn.

Dortmund's defense line, where most of the defensive force was restrained by Long Bisheng, began to become precarious. It was no wonder that at least two defenders followed Long Bisheng unwaveringly, and another defender was ready to fill in at any time. He used up three defensive players alone, and it was not enough to use them elsewhere.

Seeing that Hoffenheim was attacking extremely fiercely elsewhere, Dortmund could only reduce the number of players who defended Long Bisheng, but there were still one or two defenders closely following him, but even so, they still failed to defend without conceding the ball.

After Dortmund slightly reduced the number of players defending him, Long Bisheng suddenly broke out.

Kolarov's breakthrough created a free kick in the frontcourt. He personally took the ball into the penalty area. Under the cover of Li Jie who was on the back, Long Bisheng jumped high from the back point and hit the goal with a powerful head shake!

The defender who marked him almost pulled his jersey off the line, but still failed to stop his shot!

The ball quickly flew into the upper corner of the goal. Although the goalkeeper made a save, he still failed to touch the ball, one to zero!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL—Dragon! Dragon! Dragon! No. 20 nine! Only one short of thirty goals!" The live commentator at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium roared wildly.

"One more! Another one! Another one!" Nearly [-] Hoffenheim fans also shouted in unison. They seemed to have seen that the record breaking was just around the corner!

Long Bisheng rushed to the stands, waved his hand fiercely, then turned around and embraced tightly with the swarming teammates!
"Three! Three! Three!" The teammates shouted this number, which condensed Hoffenheim's two remaining goals this season - the top three in the league, and Long Bisheng's [-] goals!

Compared with these two most direct goals, the German Cup final after the Bundesliga is not something Hoffenheim is considering for the time being!
The game restarted, and Dortmund's momentum, which was directly hit, dropped a lot, but they began to defend Long Bisheng more closely-even if they lost, they couldn't let Long Bisheng's No. 30 league goals happen to them!This is already Dortmund's lowest goal in this game!

After scoring a goal, Long Bisheng became even more excited, and his teammates began to send more balls to his feet.

At the end of the second half, Long Bisheng took the ball at the front of the penalty area and was tripped by the opponent's defender. He took a direct free kick 27 meters away from the goal!

This free kick is within the range of Long Bisheng, so although Kolarov and Salihovic are also standing by, Dortmund's goalkeeper and defenders are only focused on Long Bisheng alone.

Hoffenheim has taken the lead, and now they hope to help Long Bisheng complete the [-]-goal record in this game, so this direct free kick will definitely be taken by Long Bisheng, so what needs to be noted is that he directly hits the side that is not blocked by the wall!
Dortmund is thinking so from top to bottom.

So they fell for it again.

Long Bisheng started the run-up from a distance, but when he started the run-up, Kolarov, who was standing in front of the ball, had already lifted his foot and slapped the ball!

The ball drew a perfect arc, bypassed the wall, and flew into the goal under the stunned eyes of the goalkeeper!
Long Bisheng's run-up was just a cover, and Kolarov's shot was the real killing move!
Before starting to take the penalty kick, Long Bisheng said a word to Kolarov: "They will definitely pay attention to me, so Alexander, this free kick is handed over to you."

His judgment is absolutely correct!Long Bisheng does not lack the courage to face difficulties, but he will not be so stupid that he knows that the other party has set a trap, but he still steps on it without hesitation - doing so is not called bravery, but recklessness.

The commentator on German National Television repeatedly shouted "Unbelievable": "Hoffenheim has cleverly grasped Dortmund's psychology, and now they are basically sure of winning! But the possibility of Long Bisheng scoring No. 30 league goals in this game is very slim. Why would he agree with the team to do this? Is he so confident that he will definitely score in the last league game? Or does he not care about breaking this record at all?"

He was wrong. It’s not that Long Bisheng didn’t take the record to heart, nor was he sure that he would be able to score in the last game, but that he chose the most beneficial way for the team-for Hoffenheim, who has not yet completely thrown off Wolfsburg, and for Hoffenheim, which has a goal difference similar to that of Wolfsburg, every goal difference is very important.

In modern football, it is becoming more and more difficult for a selfless striker to appear, especially a striker with excellent scoring ability and unselfishness is even more difficult. However, Long Bisheng has such qualities. When the possibility of personal scoring is lower than that of his teammates, he will choose to trust his teammates. It is this unique character and characteristics that will make him an unprecedented super center in the history of world football in the future, an almost perfect center.
