What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

November 3: RB Leipzig vs. Kaiserslautern (11. Bundesliga Round 12).

November 8: St. Pauli vs RB Leipzig (11. Bundesliga Round 13).

December 11th...

Leipzig has four league matches to play in November, and their opponents are the third, eighth, fourth, and ninth-ranked teams in the current 2. Bundesliga.

Including the 16th round match against Ingolstadt on December 7th, it's fair to say that Leipzig's next five matches will be incredibly difficult.

"hiss……"

Rangnick took a deep breath.

Even though he tried his best to stay calm, the German coach's hands still trembled uncontrollably.

Leipzig's players and fans were delighted by their earlier victory over weaker teams, and the team surged to second place in the league standings, enjoying immense success.

However, the previous matches were all child's play.

The real show is about to begin!

After thinking for a long time, Rangnick finally uttered a sentence.

"We need to stay in the upgrade zone after November."

"..."

Almas, of course, approves of Rangnick's ambition.

But the problem is, if there's only a goal but no specific methods, wouldn't that be a bit difficult to handle?

"Ralph, what should we do?"

"I have no idea."

Rangnick rested his elbow on the table and pressed his palm against his forehead. "Every game next month will be tough, but I want to win every single one. I don't know what to say, I'm in so much pain right now."

"Hey, relax."

Almas placed his hand on Rangnick's back and comforted him, "There's no need to be so distressed. Our overall strength is still quite good, and we might have a good opportunity."

"No, no, I must remain in pain. I must remain in pain now."

Rangnick leaned back heavily on the chair and began to mutter to himself, "Only pain can keep me focused and working at peak efficiency. Not just me, but all of Leipzig should be in pain right now, only then can we create opportunities next month."

"..."

"So that's why you reported Goodman's livestream?"

"Yes!"

"Goodman is a genius, but I've seen far too many geniuses whose talents were cut short."

"Maintain sufficient focus on football, endure the pain of training, and maintain extremely high efficiency from beginning to end. Only in this way can the potential of a genius be fully unleashed!"

As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Rangnick's eyes: "And that's what I'm supposed to do as a coach."

!!!

Almas remained silent, only deeply moved.

But after a period of shock, the Leipzig assistant coach began to pity Hao Ren.

Ugh.

Poor Mr. Goodman, he has to endure Ralph's pressure at such a young age!

……

A German journalist interviewed Hao Ren: You can call me Chicken Dad (referring to Kimmich's father).

[Another winning streak! That's the power of Hao Hao!]

[Haha, it seems Kimmich didn't realize he was being taken advantage of. This KFC duo is really entertaining, unbeatable!]

[Will they advance to the German Cup knockout stage? But I feel like they should give up once the knockout stage starts, otherwise they'll get thrashed by Bundesliga teams. It's better to focus on the league.]

[Bullshit! Do you think this is a Premier League team? Leipzig only has two competitions this season, they must be bored. They might as well play. So what if it's the Bundesliga? The Bundesliga gets punished by my big chicken daddy too, doesn't it?]

[Don't bring trouble to Hao Qiuwang, upstairs]

After securing a three-game winning streak and returning home, Hao Ren was overjoyed.

My phone rang right after I finished showering.

Upon picking it up, I saw that it was a message sent by Rangnick in the Leipzig first team's group chat.

[Rangnick: @Everyone stay focused and get ready for next month's schedule. If you're not feeling the pressure and pain in practice and matches, then you're not giving it your all.]

"..."

"Ring ring!"

It was Kimmich calling, and Hao Ren answered quickly.

"Good, what's wrong with Ralph? He's been in a lot of pain lately. Could it be related to you?"

Kimmich pointed out Hao Ren's mistake.

When interviewed by reporters last month, Hao Ren said that "training under Rangnick was not painful" and "Mr. Goodman has been transformed." Kimmich believes that these things affected Rangnick's mentality.

"How could that be, Brother Chicken? Don't overthink it. It's just some statements made in front of the media; no normal person would take it seriously."

"I think Ralph has now deviated from the realm of normal people."

"Haha! Chicken Bro!"

As expected, good brothers are still the best. Hao Ren found that Kimmich was the one he had in common with.

"Whatever, he's just bored and wants to show off. Old guys like him who are almost 60 are usually very bored, it's normal for them to go crazy."

Hao Ren adopted a knowing tone, saying, "He probably dreamt that I had subdued him, but he was unwilling to become my apprentice."

"Taking on apprentices? Are you playing Pokémon?!"

"Ha ha!"

Hao Ren and Kimmich joked around for a while before hanging up the phone.

"call……"

Why did Rangnick become so strange? What exactly did he mean by the "pressure" he kept talking about?

Hao Ren felt that all of this was a bit nonsensical and could only be explained by the idea of ​​showing off.

It's true that some 50-something-year-old guys are a bit off-putting in this regard. If they want to show off, why not just be straightforward and not resort to these mystical things like "pain" and "efficiency"?

Hao Ren decided not to investigate further and instead opened his system.

[Task Status: Completed]

You have obtained a random Brazilian player chest (Legendary).

Based on Hao Ren's observations over the past few months, the quality of the treasure chest not only determines the quality of the template, but is also directly related to how well the template suits him.

Silver chests sometimes contain strange items, but gold chests don't!

Legendary treasure chests are even less likely to be included!

In other words, the templates contained in this legendary Brazilian treasure chest should be a perfect match for one's own playing style!

Well!

Thinking of this, Hao Ren couldn't help but get excited.

He has recently discovered that his development has gone a bit off track, and Mr. Great Goodman has therefore faced a lot of criticism.

Complete metamorphosis?

Do not!

Isn't this just pure insult?!

Mr. Goodman did not undergo complete abnormal development; Mr. Goodman is not a maggot!

The time has come; now is the time to use the new template to turn around your terrible reputation.

Come on, let them see Mr. Goodman's defensive prowess!

Hao Ren rubbed his hands together; he felt he had never been so serious before.

Treasure chest...

start up!

[Random Brazilian Player Chest (Legendary) Open Now...]

You have obtained the Roberto Carlos outside-of-the-foot cannon template (apprentice)
