Chapter 125 Leipzig's season has been a bit too smooth (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

2015-16 UEFA Europa League Group C Standings (End of Round 1):

1. Villarreal, 3 points.

2. RB Leipzig, 3 points.

3. Naples, 0 points.

4. Celtics, 0 points.

Strictly speaking, the Europa League is not in Leipzig's plans.

But adhering to the principle of winning whenever possible, the players still managed to win the first round of the Europa League.

This match also gave head coach Rangnick some food for thought.

"Our players have very good resilience, have you noticed, Almas?"

In the office, Rangnick tapped his index finger lightly on the table.

The computer screen in front of me was playing a video of the Leipzig vs. Napoli match.

"At first I thought our players wouldn't be able to handle the tight schedule, but now it seems my initial assessment was wrong."

Rangnick's eyes were sharp: "Leipzig has a certain squad strength, and we can handle more complex situations than we imagine."

""

Almas nodded slightly.

He certainly agreed with what Rangnick said.

After all, the two of them are on the same side, with no difference in their positions or perspectives.

"But Ralph, have you noticed something—I don't know if I should say it, but—it's really strange."

Ok?

Rangnick pressed the pause button, stopping the playback of the game replay on his computer.

Almas's words piqued his interest: "What is it?"

"that is----"

Almas ran his fingers through his hair: "Haven't we had a slightly too-successful season?"

this----

"Um----"

Rangnick didn't speak immediately, but Almas continued.

"We're essentially a newly promoted team, and this is our first time playing in the Bundesliga. Logically, it shouldn't be this easy. So, Ralf, why is this?"

Almas looked into Rangnick's eyes, who was deep in thought.

"I'm not sure either, but it is indeed a problem."

"I think we need to look into this."

"ah!!"

At 2 a.m., Hao Ren, who was lying in bed, was awakened by severe pain.

At first, I didn't realize what was happening, but after calming down and assessing the situation, I realized it was a leg cramp.

Without hesitation, Hao Ren quickly sat up, grabbed his forefoot with both hands, and straightened his twitching hamstrings.

After about ten seconds, Hao Ren released his hand once he was sure the pain had stopped.

"call----"

2 a.m. should be a time for deep sleep, but this spasm completely woke Hao Ren up.

After hesitating for a moment, Hao Ren stacked the pillows on the headboard, then leaned against them and sat down on the bed.

League, Europa League, and German Cup!

Three enormous mountains were pressing down on him, and even someone as strong as Hao Ren was finding it hard to breathe.

Hao Ren pressed his hand against the leg that had just cramped, unable to speak.

Is this the intensity of the Bundesliga?

Hao Ren slept until noon the next day. In the afternoon, he went to the base for a two-hour muscle massage and then went home to continue resting.

After doing all that, the discomfort I had felt earlier was indeed relieved quite a bit.

And the system appeared at that moment.

Speed: 67 → 68

[Heading: 76→77]

Hao Ren (17 years old)

-

[Ball possession: 68; Passing: 79.5]

[Shots: 83; Headers: 77; Set pieces: 61]

Speed: 68; Endurance: 76; Physical Strength: 84

[Defense: 77; Vision: 76]

Overall rating: 81

An unexpected surprise.

The previous heavy consumption resulted in Hao Ren gaining some attribute boosts after resting.

I don't recall ever using a template specifically designed to improve speed.

In other words, he developed his speed attribute mostly through his own hard work and training!

Thinking of this, Hao Ren felt extremely gratified.

For greater strength, for the team's victory.

He has to give more!

As Hao Ren imagined himself receiving the Golden Globe Award, his phone, which was on the table, rang.

"Hao Ren, are you free?"

"Regarding the endorsement I mentioned before, their boss wants to go to Germany and talk to you in person."

'

The "endorsement" that Lü Qi mentioned was, of course, Seven Lotus.

Hao Ren considers himself a cool and aloof male god, and is quite resistant to this kind of endorsement.

But his teammates, his manager, and his fans all supported him in accepting the endorsement.

So————

After some hesitation, Hao Ren finally told Lü Qi a time.

Three days later, at the Red Bull Arena.

Today is the Bundesliga Round 6 match between RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen.

Hao Ren was included in the squad for this match, but he was not in the starting lineup.

The fans at the scene sighed in dismay.

-

However, Leipzig fans remained relatively rational.

Grandpa Niu is indeed awesome.

But if you really treat him like an ox, then you're in the wrong!

"Lie down properly, good!"

In the locker room, Poulsen pointed at Hao Ren's face: "Let me show you what it means to win without lifting a finger. You know, it means you can win even while lying down and resting."

"You don't need to explain this, do you?"

Hao Ren shrugged and began arguing with Paulsen.

"Bremen is not bad, you really need to be careful."

"It's really okay. Do you think we'd get blown up even without you?"

Paulsen told Hao Ren.

As the team captain, he would never let his teammates work too hard.

Whenever the team needs him, Poulsen always steps up!

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean, but be careful."

"Besides, it's not that I can't play; I've rested enough. If I really can't, I'll play."

As Paulsen walked out of the locker room, he turned back to Hao Ren just before stepping out: "That kind of thing will never happen!"

"Ha ha!"

Hao Ren slowly shook his head, preparing to put on a coat and go out.

Kimmich put his hand on Hao Ren's shoulder: "Good, does he really want to lead you to victory that much? Haha!"

Hao Ren shrugged: "It would be nice to be able to lie down, but I have to play today."

Hao Ren was not lying.

Even if he hasn't fully recovered, he still has to play.

This is because he still has a quest that requires him to accumulate 50 LP to complete.

If the substitutes don't come on, we won't get the winning points!

"Why do I have to play?"

Kimmich was puzzled, only confused.

Hao Ren punched his teammate in the chest with his fist: "Because Mr. Goodman cares about the team."

"Damn it! Stop pretending to be good!"

"You just wait, I'll show you what I'm made of today!"

"The situation in Leipzig is rather bad right now!"

"Although Leipzig is only one goal behind their opponents, we don't seem to have much of a chance to equalize!"

"Yes, after the exertion of the first two matches, the performance of Leipzig's key players has visibly declined!"

RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen

【1:2】

Leipzig, who drew with Bayern Munich and defeated Napoli, encountered problems in today's match.

As many commentators have stated.

Leipzig, as a dark horse, possesses considerable fighting power, but there is still a significant difference between them and top-tier teams.

They lack sufficient bench depth, which makes them very weak when fighting on three fronts!

boom!

"Yo!"

Poulsen fell heavily near the sideline.

Leipzig captain was violently assaulted by the transformed Galvez!

"Depend on!"

Hao Ren, who was warming up nearby, rushed over and shoved Galvez aside, yelling, "Get out of my way!"

Several Leipzig players who were on the bench came up to express their condemnation of Galvez.

Werner tried to help Poulsen up from the ground, but was stopped by the team doctor.

"Don't move him! He might be injured!"

Leipzig's two team doctors knelt on the grass and quickly performed a series of examinations on Poulsen.

The final diagnosis was: Poulsen had injured his ankle!

"Damn it! Damn it! This is infuriating!"

Helped up by the team doctor, Poulsen roared angrily.

Hao Ren received Rangnick's order to come on at this moment, quickly took off his vest, and exchanged it with Poulsen with a high-five.

"Good, kill them!"

Poulsen pointed at Galvez on the field: "Especially that number 4, beat him to a pulp!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, leave it to me!"

Hao Ren clapped his hands and jogged into the court.

"Oh! Here it comes!"

"We still have to go for it in the end."

"Yes, Leipzig doesn't have any other options right now, because they really don't have many players available."

"Garlic 433 changed to 4222, now it depends on whether Leipzig can seize the opportunity in the last 30 minutes."

"6

'

"Fritz!"

"Asani's pass hit Hao Ren!"

"This is a very serious mistake!"

Snapped!

Hao Ren sent the ball into the penalty area and successfully found Vlaan inside.

boom!

"TOOOORRRRRRR!!!"

'

72th minute of the second half.

Goal!

A goal was scored through a connection between Hao Ren and Vlaan.

Leipzig equalized!

"pretty!"

As the substitute was applying an ice pack to his foot, Poulsen suddenly stood up and threw an uppercut.

"That's it!"

"Damn them, good heavens!"

75th minute!

boom!

"There's no other way, Bartels has to foul. If they let Forsberg get through, Werder Bremen can't afford the consequences."

"But that's not right—"

"Oh! Bartels already has a yellow card!"

"Wow!!!!"

The fans realized what was happening, and within seconds the stadium was filled with fake whistles.

"Whoosh whoosh!!!"

"Red card!"

"Red card!"

Both teams' players were on their way, but Bartels' foul was very obvious.

The referee saw it clearly!

"Whoosh!"

First a yellow card, then a red card!

RedCard: Bartels (SVB).

"Wow!!!!"

Hao Ren pulled Forsbury up from the ground: "Not bad, Emil!"

"He would have scored if he hadn't pulled me back."

Hao Ren glanced at the timer display and said, "Actually, this isn't bad. Scoring a goal every 15 minutes isn't easy!"

"come on!"

Forsberry and Hao Ren gave each other a fist bump, offering encouragement.

'

"Kamisch, cross from the 45-degree angle!"

"Hao Ren has moved forward!"

"This is a ruse!"

boom!

Halstenberg volleyed the ball into the net from the far post.

3: 2!

"Sauber!!!"

Boom!

Bang bang bang!

This is a moment of celebration for Leipzig!

Dongqiudi Match Report: RB Leipzig came from behind to defeat 10-man Werder Bremen 3-2. Forsberg drew a red card, and Hao Ren came on as a substitute and provided an assist.

"call!"

Although I only played for a little over 30 minutes, this match was still quite tiring.

[Match results in progress————]

[League Points +10]

[Progress of this mission: Victory Points (32/50)]

A reward of 10 points.

As a temporary substitute player, this reward is quite good for Hao Ren.

Only 18 Victory Points away from completing the mission!

Click, click, click!

Hao Ren was not originally scheduled to be interviewed today.

However, because he missed the MVP interview after the Europa League match, he now needs to make up for it.

"Such a thing exists?"

Hao Ren's eyes widened: "Didn't you say that if someone was absent, it would be considered a no-brainer?"

"That's usually how it is, but—"

Almas shrugged: "Those reporters came here specifically for you. It would be a shame if you didn't show up."

,,

Click, click, click!

"The next match is against Borussia Dortmund. This will be only the second time in your club's history that you've faced Dortmund. What are your thoughts on this opponent?"

"The next game will be very important for us."

Hao Ren's expression was serious.

"In the current standings, Dortmund is just a few places behind us. If we lose to them in the next game, our league ranking could very well be overtaken."

Hao Ren admitted.

Although taking points from Dortmund will not be easy, Leipzig must give it their all.

This six-point game is extremely important for them!

"Is there anything you'd like to say to Tuchel?"

A reporter in the audience raised his hand to ask a question.

This guy, Hao Ren, looks really familiar—

!

boom!

Hao Ren slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing his right index finger at the reporter below the stage who had asked a question: "How dare you even show your face here?"

The staff at the scene were stunned for a moment.

It was only then that they realized that the reporter who had just asked Hao Ren a question was none other than Erend from Bild!

"Goodman, calm down. This is a TV show, and I'm a reporter now. I asked you a question, so you should answer me."

With a smile on his face, Erende's words left Hao Ren speechless, unsure how to refute them.

"You motherfucker—"

"Hey, I was just answering a simple question. Did I insult you here? Goodman, relax!"

Whew, whew!

Eren's sly expression made Hao Ren's heart race.

All he wanted to do was rush off the platform and smash a hammer over this guy's head!

A staff member came up and whispered in Hao Ren's ear, "Should we ask him to leave?"

'

""

Take a deep breath.

"No."

Hao Ren looked at Allen: "I know Thomas said some unpleasant things last season, but that must have been a misunderstanding."

"But he offended our 'esteemed Mr. Goodman,' shouldn't you punish him then?"

"If it's just a misunderstanding, then I don't care. Thomas is a very good coach."

Seeing that he couldn't escalate the conflict between Hao Ren and Tuchel, Allende changed his approach.

"So, do you think Dortmund is stronger this season, or was Dortmund stronger last season?"

Click, click, click!

On the surface, the question was about the difference in Dortmund's strength over the two seasons, but in reality, it was about the difference between Klopp and Tuchel's "pillow" (referring to their respective strengths).

Mr. Goodman, do you think Jürgen Thomas's pillow is strong or weak?

"—Really, I don't really like your questions, and I don't like you as a person either."

Hao Ren turned his head away and then turned back, clearly feeling very helpless.

"Dortmund was very strong last season, but this season—I don't know what the situation is this season, we need to wait for next week's game, okay?"

"If you get beaten by Tuchel's Dortmund, does that mean you can no longer defend yourself against the 'artist' comments from last season?"

"Erend, although I have answered your question, I must remind you that you have asked enough. Please give others a chance."

"Besides, I really don't like your questions, and I don't like you as a person either."
