What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 17 Goodman, save me!

How to say "accept an apprentice" in German?

Hao Ren found the German phrase for taking on apprentices on Google, and when he looked up, he found Rangnick staring at him.

"I'm sorry... sir."

"I've said it many times, no using your phone during halftime, not even listening to music!"

Hao Ren quickly put his phone into the cabinet.

Rangnick was very strict, and even if Hao Ren used the excuse of studying to look at his phone, he would not agree, so there was no need to explain.

After Hao Ren put his phone away, Rangnick quickly began his analysis.

"The experience of the past four games has proven one thing: our tactics should be more diverse, or rather, more complex..."

"Frankfurt doesn't pay much attention to defending their right flank, so it's clear that attacking down the left flank in the second half will be our opportunity!"

"..."

The second half.

"Over 1.5 goals, over 1.5 goals is definitely going to be a win (total goals in the game is greater than or equal to 2)."

"But didn't I post this in the group before the match started? I'm betting on over 3.5 today, guys, don't you believe me?"

[I trust you, host. I also got a 3.5, and I feel like I'll get at least 4 goals today.]

[You only got one goal in the first half and you expect four goals for the whole game? Why don't you go up there and kick it?]

[Hahaha, those with a 3.5-inch frame can go to sleep now]

[Over 3.5 has odds of 4, but there probably won't be 4 goals today. Rangnick is playing fake attacking football; I don't believe he'll make any money.]

[Don't worry, Hao Ren told me on QQ that he won't let the other team score today, it'll end 1-0, you guys can wait to pay your fines.]

57th minute of the second half!

"Kimmich, do it yourself!"

"Awesome! Kimmich's 45-degree cross, that footwork is something else!"

"Maurice!"

"Goal!"

"2:0!"

Although Leipzig didn't play as aggressively as they did in the first two rounds, the core concept of attacking football remained.

With Morris's goal, the score of the match reached 2-0.

This was the biggest lead the team had ever made since Rangnick took charge of Leipzig!

They felt they had it all figured out, but Frankfurt, trailing by two goals, played better and better as the game progressed.

They don't want to lose to RB Leipzig, a newly promoted team!

"Let's go!"

Huber controlled the ball and seized the opportunity to deliver a long pass.

That long pass was very clever; Frankfurt bypassed Leipzig's entire midfield defense.

Holy crap!

Seeing the ball fly over his head, Hao Ren instinctively sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated to defend with Kimmich.

However, the two have just finished an attack and are now positioned relatively far forward.

Rosie received a long pass from her teammate!

After a series of passes, Frankfurt successfully dribbled the ball to Leipzig's baseline.

Anthony Jung was forced to retreat, and at the same time, the entire Leipzig defense was pulling back.

Snapped!

Rosch delivered a cross from the byline.

Sebastian jumped up!

Sebastian's timing for jumping was terrible; the Leipzig center-back failed to head the ball after leaping!

At the far end, Caprani, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly rushed up.

boom!

Caprani scores with a header!

Frankfurt pulled one back!

The score is now 1-2!

"Damn, both sides really stepped up their game in the second half!"

"We might really have to score four goals today, but given the current situation..."

Wang Chao was somewhat excited, but at the same time, he was also a little worried.

The home team is playing better and better. If this continues, won't Leipzig suffer?

My two-game winning streak is about to end!

"The other side is playing so aggressively."

Hao Ren and Kimmich chatted: "I feel like we shouldn't both be up front at the same time, because we won't have enough time to get back into defense."

Kimmich nodded solemnly, clearly having taken Hao Ren's words to heart.

He knows his best friend very well.

Although Goodman may be somewhat abstract in his daily life, he is very serious when he is not abstract, otherwise he would not have been given the respectful title of "Mr."

"Schenbri, find Kruska!"

"Krusca! To number 9 up front, this is Caprani who just scored."

"Frankfurt's attacking combinations are very fast!"

boom!

"Kaprani got thrashed by Hao Ren!"

"call!"

Although he intercepted the ball, Hao Ren also received his first yellow card in the German Second Division.

Hao Ren stepped on Caprani's foot while trying to steal the ball!

"Damn, this is a bit tough, guys. But at this rate, we might really have to take back the 3.5."

Wang Chao sighed, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Getting a yellow card as a defensive midfielder is a bad thing, because once you have a yellow card, you can't make any reckless moves.

If he commits another foul, he will be sent off with a red card!

"Be careful!"

"Slow down the pace!"

Rangnick also felt the pressure and quickly signaled Hao Ren to stay calm, while having the substitute defensive midfielder start warming up.

However, Hao Ren is quite a character. He acted as if the yellow card on him had nothing to do with him, and he still went for the ball when he needed to.

boom!

"Hao Ren!"

"Damn, that's awesome!"

"Brothers, this was a display of skill and daring!"

[Xiao Chao is still happy, what happened to your big 3.5?]

[Haha, Hao Ren betrayed us again. I said there couldn't be four goals today. Leipzig usually doesn't score many goals. Even if Rangnick came, it wouldn't make a difference.]

[I'm going to sleep now, bye bros!]

[RNM streamer! Refund! I knew I shouldn't have listened to you, screw you!]

The time quickly reached 85 minutes.

In just the past 10 minutes, Hao Ren has made two steals, keeping the score at 1-2.

At this moment, Wang Chao in the live broadcast room finally realized that something was wrong.

"Damn, we're just one ball short!"

"Is this going to explode? I feel like a 3.5 caliber shot should be pretty safe."

Looking at the Frankfurt attacking players on the field.

From Rosch to Kruska, and then to Caplani, Hao Ren had trained all three of them, and now they had little energy left for offense.

Clearly, Frankfurt will not be able to score a second goal in this match!

"hiss……"

"Four minutes left, guys!"

"Can the referee give us a penalty? Give Leipzig one, okay? If it goes wide, I'll concede!"

"Referee, give Leipzig a penalty! Please, damn it!"

Unfortunately, the referee couldn't hear Wang Chao's shouts.

boom!

Kimmich stole the ball from his opponent and decisively looked for Hao Ren, who was waiting in front.

"Hao Ren, pull-back and turn, beautiful!"

"Leipzig seems to have a chance!"

"Hao Ren, it's Hao Ren's turn!"

"Only 2 minutes left!"

Wang Chao's expression was tense, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Goodman, help me!"

boom!

[Kroos's ingenious through ball technique]!

Hao Ren delivered a through pass to the left front.

The ball's trajectory was very clever; it rolled just past Balic's feet and went straight to Morris's feet.

!!!

boom!

Goal!

3: 1!

"Holy crap!!!!??"
