Chapter 417 After Madness

Long Bisheng fell heavily to the ground, splashing a piece of grass.

With his height and size, it is really very reluctant to make such a barb. If it weren't for his extraordinary jumping ability, such a move would not be possible at all. He fell hard enough, and even Pique standing next to him felt the same way, and couldn't help gasping.

But Long Bisheng didn't care about his pain. When he was in the air, he kept staring at the ball kicked by him. When he fell to the ground, he saw the ball hit the crossbar and the post and bounced off the baseline. Then he heard the referee blow the whistle for the end of the game. He immediately understood the fact that his team had been eliminated.

Stopped at the top [-] of the Champions Cup, fought against the world-class team Barcelona until the last moment, and they even had a chance to eliminate each other-this kind of achievement is already quite remarkable for Hoffenheim, a newcomer to the Champions Cup.Then, a sharp pain came from his waist, and his eyes, who were already almost exhausted, went dark, and he passed out immediately.

When he regained his senses, he heard Dr. Bex's voice: "He's fine, he's just a little tired and his back slipped when he fell. He should be able to rest in bed for a week at most. Lu, when you give him a massage to recover, massage his waist more, it will help his recovery."

When Long Bisheng opened his eyes, he realized that he was in the locker room of Camp Nou. It seemed that he hadn't been in a coma for a long time.

"He is usually in good health! How could he pass out after falling?" Li Jie's worried voice came from beside him.

"He consumed too much physical energy today. When I lifted him off the stage, I saw him as if he had just been fished out of the water...Even if he is a monster, his physical strength is exhausted, not to mention that he jumped so high in the last move...Fortunately, it's nothing serious." Bex's voice came over.

The other Hoffenheim players were silent, and Long Bisheng's performance was obvious to all. If he hadn't been sprinting and pressing in the frontcourt from the first minute, maybe Hoffenheim would not have hope of qualifying at the last moment of the game, let alone the physical strength of the Barcelona defenders under his impact.The other players in Hoffenheim felt a little ashamed when they thought of this, because many of them almost gave up after falling behind by two goals. If it weren't for Long Bisheng's harder press, maybe the thrilling scene that shocked the Barcelona fans at the last moment would not have appeared.

Long Bisheng supported the stretcher under his body with both hands, and was about to get up. Lu Xiaoshan exclaimed, and ran over to hold Long Bisheng's hand, helping him to stand up slowly.

Dr. Bakers looked at him with great interest, and then said with a smile: "Long, don't exercise strenuously these days. I think Lu will tell you about other precautions... Pay attention to rest."

Lannick also coughed dryly: "That's right, Long, you don't need to play in the next league game. Rest well at home. We played very well in today's game, and it doesn't matter if we lose the game. We all have to learn to look forward... We only have one last goal left for this season, and we have nine games left in this season."

The fans of Hoffenheim were not too disappointed with Hoffenheim’s exit from the Champions League. Perhaps the club regretted that they were only five centimeters away from a big income—Long Bisheng’s barb would have gone in if it had been five centimeters inside—but the Hoffenheim fans were proud, because their performance in the away game was not disgraceful!

"If there were 5 more minutes in the game, we would have entered the quarter-finals, not Barcelona!" Many Hoffenheim fans said this after the game.

The European media’s evaluation of Hoffenheim has also become quite high. After all, being able to push Barcelona to this point at the Nou Camp is not something that ordinary teams can do. Although Barcelona created many good opportunities in the game, the last two of their three goals were brilliant world waves.

If Hoffenheim had half the luck that Barcelona showed in those two world waves, maybe Long Bisheng's barb would have scored...

After returning to Germany, Hoffenheim was not affected too much. Three days later, in the sixth round of No.20 in the league, in the absence of Long Bisheng, relying on Ibisevic’s goal from another stable scoring point, Hoffenheim defeated Hamburg 3-[-] in an away game and continued to rank No.[-].

The gap between the top four in the league is very small. Leverkusen has 57 points, Wolfsburg has 56 points, and Hoffenheim has 54 points.As for Werder Bremen and Schalke 45, who are ranked fifth and sixth, their points are only [-] points. Although it cannot be said that there is no chance, the chance is not too great.

The eight opponents behind Hoffenheim are not particularly strong. Although there are strong teams like Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich and Schalke [-], the other opponents are basically Karlsruhe, Cologne, and Bochum.

To the delight of Hoffenheim fans, their top scorer, Long Bisheng, was back on the training pitch after a week of absence, freed from a sprained lower back.

So far, he has scored [-] goals in the league and [-] goals in the Champions League. The importance of Long Bisheng to Hoffenheim is beyond doubt.

****************************************

Resting at home this week, Long Bisheng was not idle. It was a rare opportunity to lie still on the bed and let two beauties serve him. Long Bisheng also began to think about his shortcomings.

He asked Ning Xi to help him count all his league and European goals since he came to Hoffenheim. So far, he has scored 38 goals in the league, and 49 goals in the Europa League and the Champions League. Of the 36 goals in total, 21 were scored in the second half, and 10 were scored in the last [-] minutes of the game.

Although some of these goals included the last-minute lore and the goal that opened the door to victory for the team, there were more goals that were icing on the cake—this made Long Bisheng find one thing in frustration, that is, his strength actually does not match his current reputation. His real strength may only be regarded as an ordinary top-notch striker. Forwards, although such forwards cannot be said to be everywhere, at least they are not rare.

Although compared with the past, Long Bisheng's current game experience is very rich, and his physical confrontation ability and ability to grab points are not the same as before, but his qualifications are still the same as before. His sense of smell is not very sensitive in front of the goal, and he cannot create opportunities by himself under the opponent's strict defense.

Although good physical fitness is also part of his ability, in modern football, it is not a big problem for players to cope with the ninety-ten minutes of the game, not to mention that the head coach can also make substitutions on the sidelines to ensure the physical fitness of the players.

Long Bisheng realized that he was still relying too much on his body. Maybe he had taken a detour. Although he could still become an excellent center forward, he might never become a center forward who would scare the defenders.

"I think I should learn more about grasping opportunities, and learn from those forwards who are not very good physically but can still rely on their keen sense of smell and excellent running positions to score goals one after another. Physical strength alone cannot last long."

Long Bisheng thought so in his heart.

In the two games against Barcelona, ​​he only scored one goal. Although this result is definitely not bad, Hoffenheim’s other two goals also have a lot to do with him, but Long Bisheng still feels that his performance is not good enough, just like ESPN’s evaluation of the second round: "If Hoffenheim’s performance in the last half hour can run through the whole game, they will advance, not Barcelona."

For Long Bisheng, it means "If I can maintain my performance for the next 10 minutes, it is impossible for Pique to stare at me." Because his outstanding performance occurred when Pique's physical fitness was significantly reduced.

What Long Bisheng didn't expect was that these things he thought of this week became an opportunity for him to make another leap in the future. After running wildly in the game and still failing to get good results, Long Bisheng began to think about some shortcomings in his game.
