What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 39: Against Nuremberg, the goal is the first win in October?

RB Leipzig coach Ralf Rangnick: You can never imagine the pain I'm going through, so you have no right to tell me what to do.

This……

When Hao Ren saw the news pop up on Dongqiudi, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Brother Chicken, why did Ralph say he was in pain?"

"We didn't do anything bad to him, did we?"

Hao Rengang was about to hand the phone to Kimmich when he suddenly remembered that the latter did not understand Chinese, so he translated for him.

"Hmm."

Kimmich raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful look on his face.

After looking around to make sure that Almas across the locker room wasn't looking in their direction, Kimmich decided to reply: "He's probably just showing off, he learned it from you."

"..."

"What do you mean by 'learned from me'? I never said anything like that."

Hao Ren waved his hand.

However, Ralph's remarks were indeed strange, and the only possible explanation is that he was showing off.

Just then, Rangnick finished his interview and returned to his room, so Hao Ren stopped thinking about it and focused on preparing for the match.

You have received a new mission.

[Mission Objective: Win three consecutive league matches starting now to save Coach Rangnick]

[Mission Reward: Random Brazilian Player Chest (Legendary)]

Let's start with a three-game winning streak...

To be honest, Hao Ren was quite confident about this new task.

If the team maintains its previous form, achieving another three-game winning streak shouldn't be too difficult.

The issue is……

Why could three consecutive wins save Rangnick?

Does the head coach really need a player like himself to save the day?

"We've lost both of our last two matches. Although one was a draw, I must tell you, a draw is still a loss. So without a doubt, we've lost twice in a row. Today against Nuremberg, we can't afford any mistakes..."

"..."

"Beep!!!"

"The match has begun!"

"Leipzig's opponent today is quite strong, but it shouldn't be a big problem because we see that Hao is back in the starting lineup."

"Number 20! He's the only king in the Leipzig team!"

RB Leipzig (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Belot

Defenders: Tiger, Sebastian, Compper, Anthony Jung

Midfielders: Kimmich, Hao Ren, Demme

Forwards: Poulsen (C), Vlaan, Maurice

Head Coach: Rangnick

[Is Rangnick backing down with this starting lineup? Wasn't he going to make changes? It seems like there's been no movement.]

I sent Rangnick a QQ message, telling him he absolutely must give Hao Ren a starting position.

Leipzig is a newly promoted team, and newly promoted teams are better off playing it safe; making reckless changes will cause problems.

[Go, go, go! Leipzig goes all in! We don't care what Nuremberg's strength is, how dare they stand in Mr. Goodmann's way?]

[I'm already in debt after only three months in this business, guys. I heard Hao Ren likes to help people with poverty, is that true? Will he help me?]

"Haoren passes the ball to Demme!"

"Nice, that pass was so accurate."

"Guys, let me tell you this: Leipzig absolutely must start Hao Ren. See how well he's performing now!"

"Hao Ren, damn it, director, are you an idiot? Give camera number 20! If you can't broadcast it, then don't broadcast it!"

"Wow, Dem, give it to Morris up there!"

"Maurice has lost possession!"

"See, this is the consequence of not giving Hao Qiuwang (Hao Qiuwang) screen time!"

Cerlustka intercepted the ball and changed direction to avoid Morris's attempt to win it back.

Nuremberg's number 26 was so confident in his ball control that he ignored his teammates' calls for the ball and started driving forward on his own.

"Watch out on the flanks, don't give them any chances!"

Rangnick's voice came from outside the court.

Wang Chao noticed Rangnick's excitement in front of the bench.

I don't know why the Germans are so emotional today, but they really don't have time to study the coach right now.

Cerlustka is still dribbling the ball!

"Nuremberg's number 26, no, what are you pretending for!"

"Hao Ren's coming closer! I have a feeling this number 26 won't be jumping for much longer, what do you guys think?"

Snapped!

After a series of dribbles, Cerlustka finally decided to pass the ball, and number 15 Koch now has it.

! !

Hao Ren looked tense.

This pass?

Depend on!

The other side didn't take Mr. Goodman seriously at all!

Without saying a word, Hao Ren decisively ran towards Koch.

Proficiency: 164/250

boom!

You have earned 3 contribution points.

"Oh!!"

The fans in the stadium erupted in screams as Hao Ren delivered a violent flying tackle that sent Koch sprawling.

Top-notch tackle technique!

The most fatal mistake was that the ball that Hao Ren hit rolled right in front of Dem.

Mr. Goodman considered his teammates' situation before making the tackle!

"Let's go!"

Demme was too slow to react, and Rangnick immediately snapped him out of it.

This presents Leipzig with a chance to counterattack.

Snapped!

A long pass from Dem down the left flank!

The long pass was quite high, allowing Leipzig to successfully transfer possession to the right byline.

Captain Poulsen is ready!

Poulsen controlled the ball at the byline and cut it back to Vlaanen, who had dropped back.

Volley!

Goal!

"1:0!!!"

"Grass!"

"Keep yelling, you haters! How come your favorite team is lagging behind?!"

In the 19th minute of the first half, the score was 0-1.

Leipzig is in the lead!

Clap clap clap!

Rangnick paced back and forth on the sidelines, clapping incessantly as he walked.

Of course, he couldn't do anything else besides clapping.

"Sauber!"

Hao Ren and his teammates gathered together to celebrate.

With their emotions ignited, Hao Ren and Kimmich threw uppercuts at the home team's stands, their provocation reaching its peak.

"Gudman's tackle was key to Leipzig's counter-attack." (German)

"Yes, I don't know if it was Rangnick's design, but Goodman's positioning was very advanced today, and several of his tackles were even made in the opponent's half. (German)"

The commentator from the German public broadcasting union exclaimed in admiration.

Putting aside Leipzig's huge tactical changes today, that counterattack just now was simply textbook-perfect!

"Based on this, Leipzig is very likely to secure their first victory in December." (German)

Foreign commentators often like to open champagne at halftime.

Domestic pirate website hosts are much more cautious in this regard.

"Currently, the odds for an away win are 1.40, a draw 4.00, and a home win 6.00. Let's say I bet 100 yuan on an away win, then..."

"Wait a minute! I took a look, and I feel like something's fishy here. This goal was scored in the 20th minute! Are so many people betting on Leipzig? Guys, I have a feeling this is a trap!"

"Is Leipzig going to lose today? It feels like the bookmakers are rigging the game!"

【real or fake? 】

[Impossible, Leipzig absolutely cannot lose]

[Hilarious! What kind of bookmaker is this? I, Mr. Goodman, would just kick them and they'd be bankrupt!]

[I'll add 50 yuan for a home win, but I feel Leipzig is pretty safe today.]
