What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 25: Leipzig's Offensive and Defensive Transitions

"Beep!"

The second half has begun!

"Rangnick was smart; he didn't choose to substitute Hao, the King of Football."

"Actually, this should have been done a long time ago. This is the right thing to do. You should give players like Hao Ren more playing time. The more he plays, the better he gets."

"However... Rangnick seems a bit quiet on the sidelines today, he's not giving any instructions, what's going on?"

The team had a chance to win consecutive games and should have maintained their passion, but Rangnick's current state was clearly not that of a normal team coach.

But it doesn't matter anyway.

Wang Chao attributed everything to the Germans' terrible character.

No matter if you have a grimace or not, as long as I, Hao Qiuwang, am still on the field, that's all that matters!

The game is now in its 56th minute.

虽然频繁参与进攻，但本场比赛郝仁依旧完成了3次抢断，并因此得到了5点贡献点（2+2+1）。

In addition, Kimmich has also learned a lot from his mentor, and his defensive skills have improved a lot.

The combination of Mr. Goodman and Mr. Kimmich has built an impenetrable defense for Leipzig!

boom!

"Holy crap! Crellace's through ball!"

"Hao Ren and Kimmich have been fooled!"

"I have a feeling something bad is going to happen!"

"Kimmich is in a good position, can we chase him down?"

"Damn it, we can't catch Kimmich!"

From God's perspective, the situation on the field is crystal clear.

Union Berlin is about to pose a threat to Leipzig's goal!

Upon receiving a pass from his teammate, Zeinurau quickly shielded the ball with his body while simultaneously pushing forward with it as far as possible.

Zeinurau cuts the ball into the penalty area.

The angle of that pass was perfect, perfectly avoiding Sebastian in the penalty area!

Brandy!

boom!

Goal!

The score is now 1-1!

"..."

Rangnick remained silent, and the Leipzig players on the field were clearly upset.

The Union of Berlin is truly formidable.

The lead we took in the first half was only temporary!

"Brother Chicken, we've been tied."

As the two main culprits for conceding the goal, Hao Ren and Kimmich stood together, the latter's chest heaving as he gasped for breath: "I feel a bit uncomfortable."

"It's okay, there are still 30 minutes left."

Hao Ren glanced at the score on the sidelines and patted Kimmich's arm.

This whole mess is Kimmich's fault, it has nothing to do with me, Hao!

Is the person upstairs a troll? If you're going to smear Hao Hao, I'll fight you to the death!

[Two defensive midfielders were neutralized by a single through ball; this won't work.]

My 2-0 lead is gone... Rangnick is still trash! Moron! Useless!

Don't worry, even if there's no chance for Chao Ge to send Hao Ren a QQ message, there's still hope for a score of 2:1 and 3:1.

65th minute of the second half!

Zeinurau received a pass from his teammate and prepared to find Kohler diagonally in front of him.

However, Hao Ren had already anticipated this guy's intention to pass the ball.

Just as he was about to pass the ball, Zeinula looked up and saw Hao Ren's familiar face, which sent a chill down his spine.

Is there a chance to avoid it?

boom!

[Contribution Point +1]

He kicked the ball to Dem's feet.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Having just made a steal, Hao Ren is already asking for the ball again.

Remembering Hao Ren's accurate long passes in the previous matches, Demme decisively kicked the ball to Hao Ren's feet.

"Come on!"

Dem began to move forward, preparing to coordinate with his teammates to receive Hao Ren's through ball.

However, Demme did not expect that Hao Ren would not choose to make a long pass, but instead dribbled the ball and charged straight ahead.

What are you doing?

[François de Jong's ball-handling and advancing style]!

Hao Ren ultimately chose to dribble the ball forward himself!

"Hao Ren, is he that fierce?"

"Okay, Hao Ren has dribbled past the center circle!"

"Khloe is getting back on defense, but Hao Ren's rhythm is excellent, Khloe can't catch up!"

"Creache is leaning in!"

"Awesome! Hao Ren completely outmaneuvered Crellacher!"

"Holy crap, Hao Ren's move was unbeatable, guys! He dribbled the ball 30 meters himself!"

After some skillful maneuvering, Hao Ren unknowingly reached the top of the arc with the ball.

Although he doesn't have outstanding dribbling skills, he has the physical strength that comes with his role model.

Hao Ren's strong physical strength is what allows him to protect the ball and move forward!

"Goodman, you can pass it now!"

"There's a chance at the near post!"

Rangnick finally spoke.

Clearly, the Leipzig coach saw a scoring opportunity!

Hao Ren turned his head to look for Morris's location.

Just then, Puensage came up and blocked Hao Ren's passing lane.

"Depend on!"

Rangnick gritted his teeth and clenched his fist: "What are you hesitating for!"

Mr. Goodman missed a rare opportunity to shine!

"Hao Ren, what do you want!"

"Hao Ren ran into the restricted area by himself!"

"Still dribbling the ball?!"

"Hao Ren!"

"Holy crap, what are you doing?!"

Snapped!

Hao Ren took a shot right in front of the goalkeeper.

"GOOOO-AAAA-LLLL!!!"

"Holy crap, what the hell is that?!"

"2:1! 2:1, it's in! Guys, our first bet of the night!"

"What happened with that shot? Hao Ren dribbled the ball all by himself for a minute and scored? Did he try to connect with his teammates during that time?"

The commentator watched the replay of the goal shown by the director with a sense of doubt.

After watching the replay, the streamer, who had initially managed to remain calm, was terrified and wet himself.

"No pass!"

"They maintained possession of the ball for one minute without making a single pass!"

"This is Hao Ren's first goal in his overseas career!"

After confirming the goal, Hao Ren first went head-to-head with Poulsen in the penalty area.

Both of them were in some pain from the collision, and then Hao Ren led his teammates to run off the field.

"Wow!!!"

boom!

He slammed his entire body onto the grass, sliding down to his knees.

"Beautiful Goodman!!"

Teammates rushed to hug Hao Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, and Kimmich even kissed the goal scorer on the head.

At this moment, Hao Renzheng had his arms raised high, completely immersed in the joy of scoring a goal.

You have scored 1 goal.

You have earned 8 contribution points.

"Nice!"

Hao Ren shouted loudly.

The away team's bench was right in front, and Rangnick was able to witness Hao Ren's goal and celebration up close.

Looking at the Leipzig players who seemed to be going crazy in front of him, and then glancing at the score of "2:1" displayed on the big screen, Rangnick rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"What the fuck..."

Even after the match resumed, the Leipzig coach remained lost in his own thoughts and hadn't quite come out of his reverie.

Goodman!

If you had followed the normal thought process even in just one step, that would have been great!

Why do you deviate from the norms of normal human behavior in every single step you take?

What should your true playing style actually be like?

Rangnick began his brainstorming session.

Unbeknownst to him, the number 20 jersey at Leipzig seems to have become his obsession.

But... why does this scene just now feel strangely familiar?

Rangnick's eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran to the bench and took out his tactics notebook.

Ralf Rangnick's Dark Football Rules

3. Every team should build an offensive and defensive transition chain, and the best time to score is within 8 seconds of regaining possession.

This, this...

Seeing the words he had written himself, Rangnick's breathing became rapid.

Although Hao Ren's actions were a bit strange, wasn't this exactly the latest football rule he had come to understand?

This is a transition between offense and defense for Leipzig!
