Hoffenheim is out, Xiao Qing is out; Although in the thirteenth round it was only a 1-0 victory over the vice-squad leader Jena team, but now Hoffenheim is unbeaten in nine rounds, and they have improved their record to six wins, four draws and three losses after scoring three points in this game, accumulating 22 points! Hoffenheim were fifth in the table before this round, but after this round, Hoffenheim can want more.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, who topped the table in this round, drew 0-0 with Munich 1860, so that Borussia Mönchengladbach, who topped the table, had eight wins, four draws and one loss and accumulated 28 points, only two wins ahead of Hoffenheim.

Freiburg, who was second in the standings, and Fürth, who was originally in third place in the standings, drew 1-1; As a result, Freiburg has 24 points with 7 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, and Fürth in the third place in the standings has 6 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses and 23 points.

In the Bundesliga, the first and second teams in the table are promoted to the Bundesliga, while the third team in the table qualify for the promotion play-offs, which means they still have a chance of promotion to the Bundesliga. And now, Hoffenheim seem to be so close to the hope of promotion to the Bundesliga.

Freiburg, who are second in the table, are just two points ahead of them, and Fürth, who is third in the table, is only one point ahead of them!

It's just that Hoffenheim still can't feel happy because of some small results now, they are indeed very close to the promotion play-offs and even direct promotion to the second place in the Bundesliga standings, but their opponents will not give them any chance to relax; Although they are not far behind in points, they are still chasing after all, and the initiative is still in the hands of other teams.

And as a promoted polo team, although Hoffenheim's record is good, I have to admit that in the eyes of many people, whether Hoffenheim can keep its current achievements is more important to see if they can maintain such combat effectiveness in the following games. The promoted polo teams, in particular, will be the real test in the second half, although Hoffenheim don't look like they are under pressure to be promoted.

And don't look at the current Hoffenheim in a good position in the standings, although they did get three points in this round, but they are still pressed to the fifth place in the standings, because the previous fourth-place Mainz team beat Osnabruck 4-1 at home in this round of the game, their record is now seven wins, two draws, four losses and 23 points.

As for the chaser behind Hoffenheim, the Cologne team also narrowly defeated the Aue team 3-2 at home in this round of games, so Cologne also has six wins, three draws and four losses, accumulating 21 points.

It can be said that except for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the top of the table, the other teams in second to sixth place are only one point apart from each other, and if one of them loses a few times, then the situation in the standings will immediately change.

Hoffenheim's results now seem to be satisfactory enough, even if they are even dropping a little bit in their current position without causing much criticism; But as an aspiring team, they certainly won't be satisfied with their current results, and they certainly can't be satisfied with just finishing fifth in the table, especially when the gap to the previous teams is negligible.

Maybe it will be difficult for Hoffenheim to qualify for the Bundesliga every season, but the current Hoffenheim players are willing to give it a try, even if they fail in the end, they will try it, in order to be able to accumulate more experience in future games, in order to be able to step by step to a higher stage.

After thirteen rounds, Hoffenheim's results are quite good, and they are also unbeaten in nine rounds, which is their most recent result since entering the professional league! But Hoffenheim want to continue the Haode performance, and their challenge is coming, in the 14th round of the league, Hoffenheim will host Cologne, the sixth-placed Hoffenheim team behind the chasers, just one point behind Hoffenheim!

There is no doubt that the match between Hoffenheim and Cologne will be the focus of the 14th round of the Bundesliga, because both teams now have a chance to challenge for a higher position, because the top six teams in the current table are quite close, and because the other teams are not really strong opponents in this round.

Borussia Mönchengladbach at the top of the table host Offenbach in the relegation zone, while Freiburg in second place will face Munich 1860 in the lower half of the table. Fürth are provisionally in the promotion play-offs against second-bottom Paderborn, while fourth-placed Mainz will face Kaiserslautern who are yet to break out of the relegation zone.

It can be said that in addition to Hoffenheim and Cologne, the other top four teams in the standings are basically middle and lower tier or even relegation teams in this round, and they have a great chance to temporarily expand their advantage in the standings; In any case, as long as they can take their chances in this round, they will be able to temporarily leave one opponent in the standings, whether it is Cologne or Hoffenheim.

Round 14 of the league will be another challenge for Hoffenheim this season, and once they manage to pick up three points in this round, they will at least have a satisfactory result in the first half of the game, and they may even have a chance to move up the table in the first half.

However, once Hoffenheim lose in this round, then their results in the first half of the season can still be satisfactory, after all, it is only a promoted polo team, and people's expectations of him will not be too high; However, it is undeniable that a defeat in this round will certainly be a considerable blow to Hoffenheim, as they have managed to embark on a pretty good trajectory, they are unbeaten in nine games, and they occupy fifth place in the table and are firmly clinging to the teams in front of them. In the event of an accident in this game, they will be temporarily overtaken by their opponents in front of them and overtaken by the pursuers behind them.

Xiao Qing's mood is quite good now, because of the solution to the annoying contract problem, Xiao Qing seems to be returning to normal life at one time; Although he will still fight with his old club on the contract, Xiao Qing's pressure will not be so great now, at least in China, although there are still some fans who abuse him, but there are also many fans who accuse his old club of being mercenary.

The impact of this incident on Xiao Qing will only get smaller and smaller, and the current development of Xiao Qing will only become better and better; After scoring a goal against Jena, Xiao Qing increased his tally of goals in the Bundesliga to six! Scoring six goals in eight games, Xiao Qing's current form is quite hot, and he is now more and more sure that he has almost firmly locked the position of the team's main striker!

After scoring a goal in this game and helping the team to a victory, Xiao Qing once again got ten experience points, and now he has accumulated sixty-five experience points, and he is only thirty-five experience points away from promotion! Although Xiao Qing knows that it will be more difficult to upgrade in the future, but now he only needs to keep improving, so that his strength can get better and better, and he can also get faster progress.

Xiao Qing is quite looking forward to the opening of his ability to start a new stage, although there is still a gap of thirty-five experience points, but Xiao Qing thinks that this is not a particularly big gap, and it is even possible that Xiao Qing will complete another upgrade before the end of the halfway race; There are still four rounds left in the league to pass the halfway point, and 35 experience points is not a particularly big difference.

Thanking the game with the Jena team to miss the almost inevitable goal, thanks to his own kick to be able to stop the ball a few meters away, although Xiao Qing knows that his strength has actually improved a lot, but now he can also find more of his own shortcomings, and now he still has a lot of room for improvement. So now Xiao Qing's heart is full of expectations, now he is hot in his heart, he now wants to start a new stage of ability improvement as soon as possible, he now needs to strengthen his ability and make up for some serious deficiencies of his own.

Hoffenheim have almost two weeks of rest after the match against Jena, which is also a good preparation for the crucial match against Cologne. Two weeks is enough time for the Hoffenheim players to regain fitness, as well as enough time for them to finish some of the recent games and add to the squad.

Xiao Qing is in a pretty good mood, although he is still getting the salary of the trial contract, but soon this sad month is coming to an end, and he will soon get a relatively generous salary; And now that he has established himself in the team, he doesn't need to worry about the future at all, he can now concentrate on preparing for the next game, and he can firmly press the main player of the previous team, Demba Ba, on the bench.

People are in good spirits at happy events, now Xiao Qing feels that every day is so beautiful, although Xiao Qing's performance on the training ground is not amazing, but the steady progress and improvement makes Rangnick quite satisfied, with the improvement of experience, Xiao Qing on the court for the grasp of opportunities and the handling of the ball and the judgment of the situation on the field are also constantly improving, coupled with some improvements in jishu, Xiao Qing can achieve better performance on the court.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are ready for a crucial match on November 25, 2007 when Hoffenheim host Cologne.
