Chapter 115 This season's newly promoted teams are a little strange.
"Beep, whoosh!!!"
"The match is over!"
「3:1!让我们恭喜RB莱比锡,他们拿到了这场比赛的3分。而这也意味着莱比锡在本月的3场联赛中拿到了7分!」
"Yes, this is definitely a moment to celebrate for the Leipzig players."
The comments section on Dongqiudi was full of "Leipzig is awesome", and in the broadcast, Hao Ren lifted Lucas high in the stands.
"Mr. Goodman!"
"Ha ha!"
"How about that, Lucas! This is Mr. Goodman's skill!"
[Mission Progress: Points (4/8) / Assists (2/3)]
Two assists and three points – the result of this match was perfect for Hao Ren.
Now he just needs one more assist to complete his first system task of the new season!
"Leipzig!"
"Leipzig!"
The atmosphere at the scene was great. Hao Xing raised his hands high and chanted the name of Leipzig along with the fans.
Dongqiudi Match Report: RB Leipzig defeated Hoffenheim 3-1 at home, remaining unbeaten in the league in August. Hao Ren scored his second assist of the new season.
Forwarded: Hao Ren was voted the MVP of the match by the official poll.
After the match, Leipzig fans spontaneously formed a group and held a large-scale celebratory parade around the Red Bull Arena.
During the parade, a printed photo of Allende was set on fire by fans with lighters and thrown into the air.
"Bankruptcy!"
"Bankruptcy!"
In addition, some Leipzig fans burned a copy of Bild magazine in front of the media.
Leipzig!
"This is Leipzig!"
"We earned 7 points from 3 league matches in August!"
"7 points!"
'
""
As expected, Bild will become the focus of discussion after this match.
As one of Germany's largest sports newspapers, Bild's biggest mistake was forming the "Goodmann Special Group" and repeatedly promoting that ugly fellow, Erend.
Disrespecting Grandpa Niu?
They will pay the price in the future!
With all three matches in August concluded, Leipzig fans are now quietly awaiting a response from Bild.
However, before Allende could even make a name for himself, a new hot topic swept through German football.
Just two days after Leipzig defeated Hoffenheim, Ingolstadt also thrashed Hertha Berlin at their home ground!
This may seem like just a simple upset, but if you look deeper, you'll find something amiss.
There are two newly promoted teams in the Bundesliga this season: RB Leipzig and Ingolstadt.
Both teams have played three league matches so far.
And their current total points are all—
7 points!
Kicker Special Issue – Newly promoted RB Leipzig and Ingolstadt both have 7 points from 3 rounds, with Leipzig having 10.
HaoRen is currently at the top of the assists list.
Appendix: 2015-16 Bundesliga Standings (Round 3 completed):
1. Bayern Munich, 9 points.
2. Borussia Mönchengladbach, 9 points.
3. Bayer Leverkusen, 7 points.
4. RB Leipzig, 7 points.
5. Ingolstadt, 7 points.
"When I first saw the standings after the third round, my first reaction was shock. Two newly promoted teams were ranked fourth and fifth, which is something that has never been seen in previous seasons."
The article concludes with the deputy editor-in-chief of Kicker magazine sharing his thoughts on the current league standings.
Well—it's less of an opinion and more of a question I'm raising.
"I don't know why this is happening. Has the 2. Bundesliga become stronger or the Bundesliga weaker? I don't know, but it's a fact that two newly promoted teams are in the European qualification zone of the Bundesliga."
"I have decided that, from now on, I will conduct a series of follow-up observations on Leipzig and Ingolstadt."
Wow, I wouldn't have noticed this if I hadn't shared this league standings. How come Leipzig is fourth in the league?
[This season has only just begun, so it's not unusual for Leipzig to be ranked so high with 2 wins and 1 draw. However, they are indeed playing well, and I feel they are at least a mid-table team in the Bundesliga.]
I can only say this is normal. Last season, both of these teams were like reapers in the 2. Bundesliga, thrashing their opponents in the league.
This start has been too good; it'll be hard to maintain. Hopefully, Leipzig will do better next month.
Leipzig defeated Dortmund, so Dortmund's league ranking is lower than Leipzig's. Therefore, this standings are quite reasonable.
Ingolstadt coach Hasenhüttl: The team's current deficit is temporary, and we will soon surpass Leipzig in the standings. Because I will use this to tell Goodman that Ingolstadt is the right choice for him.
"this----"
Looking at the news on the computer screen, Hao Ren seemed somewhat at a loss.
He thought his connection with Hasenhüttl was over, but then this guy actually—
Has he gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?
After careful consideration, Hao Ren finally came up with an explanation that he considered reasonable.
Last season, Ingolstadt was poised to win the championship, but Leipzig came out of nowhere and snatched the title away from Ingolstadt, who were almost in their grasp.
Hasenhüttl felt regret and anger about this, and harbored resentment towards Leipzig.
So, wanting to pursue Mr. Goodman was just an excuse.
He was just trying to cover up his murderous intent toward Leipzig!
Time quickly came to June 1th.
The Leipzig cafeteria in the morning.
"Yes, yes, stand a little to the left, that way you can block that trash can."
Kimmich held up his phone and pointed it at Hao Ren: "I feel like it's ready now. Let me know when you start."
"Okay, that's about it!"
Hao Ren stood in front of the camera and said, "I am Hao Ren, a football player from RB Leipzig. Here, I wish all the teachers and students of Chengdu No. 7 High School a happy new semester!"
"That's it? That was quick!"
Kimmich couldn't understand what Hao Ren was saying, but he knew that the latter was very efficient.
"Did you just say 'Good luck'? That won't do. If you want to cheer on your classmates, you should say something like, 'I wish them good grades,' or 'May they grow taller this year.' That's the right way to do it."
While sending the video to Hao Ren, Kimmich began to give instructions: "Just cheering isn't enough, Goode."
"Hey, you're even teaching Mr. Goodman now!"
Hao Ren nudged Kimmich and then explained, "That's good enough. It's just an assignment, so let's just get by."
"That's not a good attitude!"
Werner joined the chorus of criticism against Hao Ren: "You're so perfunctory when you're filming videos, who knows if you've even done your homework properly?"
"Ha ha!"
Paulsen, who was eating a sandwich, burst into laughter and almost choked.
"Listen up, Mr. Goodman, don't get reported for not doing your homework. You're a starting player, for goodness sake!"
"Depend on!"
"Where is the respect?! Respect!"
"As you've probably seen, there's been a lot of news about us lately."
In the first training session in September, Rangnick didn't look to be in good form.
"We thought we would get a lot of attention this season, but it seems that our initial estimates were too conservative."
"We're almost becoming the star team of the Bundesliga, which isn't a good thing, and I hope you don't get overwhelmed."
The public opinion that followed had an impact.
The players stood scattered in front of Rangnick.
Rangnick is very strict about discipline, but he doesn't require the players to stand in neat rows or anything like that, as long as they don't secretly chat.
Crunch!
Almas pushed the tactical board next to Rangnick, on which the two of them had written something beforehand.
"We have a lot of matches this month. In the league, we play against Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, and Dortmund, and we also have a Europa League match."
Judging from the number of matches and the strength of the opponents, September in Leipzig can definitely be described as a "month of death".
But it's a matter of luck, and there's nothing you can do but accept it.
Rangnick specifically emphasized the difficulty of September, simply to give the players a psychological expectation.
Leipzig's coach adjusted his glasses, revealing a sharp glint in his eyes.
"We may face failure soon, but that doesn't matter, because we will adjust immediately after failure."
'
'
While the players were warming up, Rangnick and Almas stood on the edge of the court chatting.
"Our luck is terrible! Why do we have to play Bayern and Dortmund in the same month? Damn it!"
Almas was complaining, but Rangnick remained relatively calm: "When we set our plans last year, we didn't expect to be promoted to the top flight in just one season."
"So strictly speaking—every step we're taking right now is unplanned."
Rangnick shrugged, whether out of helplessness or because he had run out of options, it was hard to tell.
Endurance: 75→76
Wow!
Hao Ren, who was resting and stretching in the gym, received a message from the system and was in a great mood. He immediately opened the panel to check it.
Hao Ren (17 years old)
[Ball possession: 68; Passing: 79.5]
[Shots: 81; Headers: 72; Set pieces: 61]
Speed: 67; Endurance: 76; Physical Strength: 82
[Defense: 77; Vision: 76]
Overall rating: 79
[Talent: Reversing Cause and Effect, Turning Defense into Offense —]
[Achievement: 49 LP in Gold tier (LP required for promotion: 350)]
In addition to stamina, Hao Ren also gained 1 point in ball control.
Unfortunately, even with these two extra attribute points, he still couldn't reach the 80 mark.
However, he could vaguely sense that his overall score was already very close to 80!
All you need is one more assist to complete the system task you're assigned!
Sky Sports Germany
[Interviewee: Koch (Vice President of the German Football Association, Head of the German Football Association's 2. Bundesliga)]
"I'm very pleased that Leipzig and Ingolstadt have performed very well in the Bundesliga. I said something similar last season, that is, the 2. Bundesliga is not necessarily weaker than the Bundesliga, and in some respects, the 2. Bundesliga may even be stronger than the Bundesliga."
37
There were many reporters in front of Koch.
However, this guy was, after all, an official of the German Football Association, so this was nothing special to him.
"My comments from last season have been proven true at the beginning of this season. So I would like to offer some suggestions, namely, to change the Bundesliga relegation system from the bottom two teams to the bottom three teams. This would give more strong teams in the 2. Bundesliga the opportunity to perform in the top league."
Click, click, click!
The reporter stood up to ask a question.
"But Mr. Chairman, the Bundesliga has only gone through three rounds. Isn't it a bit impulsive to draw such a conclusion now that the 3nd Bundesliga is stronger than the Bundesliga?"
"Oh, no, that's not true. It's not even an impulse."
Koch stated that he has been supporting the "2. Bundesliga > Bundesliga" argument since last season.
So his acceptance of the interview today was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather—a long-planned move!
He wanted to use Leipzig and Ingolstadt as examples to prove himself!
"I'm optimistic about the prospects of Leipzig and Ingolstadt, well, that's about it."
The reporter transcribed some of Koch's key remarks for future reference.
9 month 3 day.
Rumble!
Whoosh!
With wind, rain, and thunder, the weather in Berlin was terrible this afternoon.
It wasn't even late at night yet, but it was already completely dark, and there wasn't a soul on the streets.
Okay, it's not like there's really no one here.
A man wearing a black raincoat hurriedly ran out of an office building.
If any Bild staff members were present, they would certainly have recognized the man in the raincoat.
This is Kress, an intern in the Goodman feature group at Bild!
"Huff, huff!"
Kress ran, panting, glancing back every now and then.
He seems to be being chased by something!
The good news is that, based on the current situation, he should be safe for the time being.
"Whew, whew! Damn!"
"Ahem!"
Kress looked left and right and spotted a phone booth across the street, so she ran over without hesitation.
Drop drop!
quack!
Kress made a phone call.
"drop!"
connected!
Kress let out a long breath, just then a voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, German Football Association, how can I help you?"
"I want to report this! Report this!"
"Hmm—are you sure it's a report? Okay, I'll transfer you now—"
"
""
"Hello, sir?"
A new female voice came from the other end of the phone: "What do you want to report?"
"RB Leipzig's number 10, HaoRen!"
Kress spelled out Hao Ren's name letter by letter.
"Hao————Ren?"
"This—wait a moment, let me check—oh! You mean Mr. Goodman? What do you want to report?"
"Yes, yes!"
"He violated the rules; he should be suspended by the German Football Association because his student status is not compliant—"
boom!
Kress's vision went black, and he collapsed on the spot the next second.
"Hello, sir? Sir, you haven't explained yourself clearly. Are you still here?"
"Hello?"
"6
Allen bent down, picked up the phone hanging in mid-air, and put it back in its place.
Shaking off the rain, Erend glanced at Kress, whom he had just knocked unconscious, and shook his head helplessly.
"Why does it have to be this way—"
Knocking someone out was definitely wrong, and Eren felt extremely guilty at that moment.
But he was actually innocent, because the call had already been made, and he had to do it.
After confirming that Kress was alright, Erend breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.
"Mr. Goodman, with me here, no one can hurt you—"
