What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 9, a draw, the last beginner's treasure chest.

[Holy crap???]

[Damn it, I shouldn't have bought Aaron! Now I'm 2% out of pocket! Hao Ren, give me my money back!]

Mr. Goodman is at it again, plundering his brothers' wealth. Why didn't you trust me, Mr. Goodman, from the start? Hahahaha!

Goodman killed someone!!

[Hao is unstoppable! Will he start in the next game?]

"JAAAA! (Yay!)"

After scoring the equalizer, Vlaan went up to the opposing fans and roared arrogantly.

Hao Ren, Kimmich, and other teammates are on their way.

"Beautiful, Good!"

"Basic operation!"

Hao Ren put his hand on Kimmich's shoulder, telling the latter that it was just a regular assist.

Of course, this assist was anything but ordinary; it was an extremely long-range pass, and Hao Ren accomplished his mission with this goal.

There's no way to claim the reward right now while he's on the field, otherwise Hao Ren would definitely have already given in.

"Goodman!"

Vlaan found Hao Ren, who had assisted him, and said, "That's it!"

The pressure on the Leipzig players was immense in their first league match of the new season.

It's unbelievable that a defensive midfielder stepped up and saved the team in the end.

"Leipzig!"

"Leipzig!"

"We are the Red Bulls!"

At this moment, the fans at Red Bull Arena finally started to exert themselves, shouting their hearts out for the team.

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"The match is over!"

"RB Leipzig's first Bundesliga 2 match ended in a 1-1 draw, and it was even a last-minute equalizer. Guys, I think this result is actually quite good for a newly promoted team like Leipzig."

"Especially since the last goal was assisted by Hao Ren, it was absolutely perfect."

"Seriously, I'm not kidding, guys. If this keeps up, Hao Ren will definitely be starting in the next game."

……

Overseas Study Column: In the first round of the German Second Division, RB Leipzig drew 1-1 with Aalen at home, with Hao Ren providing an assist in his debut in the German Second Division.

After a year of silence, Hao Ren's name has reappeared in the sight of Chinese fans.

He disappeared from the German third division, and it was thought that this Evergrande youth academy graduate had no hope of making it in Europe.

Unexpectedly, Hao Ren suddenly started to perform well after the team was promoted to the 2. Bundesliga.

Good grief, he can't adapt to the 3rd division, but he can adapt to the 2nd division, right?

Is this Mr. Goodman's power?

Immediately after the game ended, Hao Ren sat in his seat in the locker room, carefully browsing the praise he received from fans on the online forum.

[Hao Ren is awesome! I think Rangnick should have started him; the other two midfielders are too unreliable.]

[He's guaranteed a starting position within three games, I'm telling you, otherwise the guys on the forum will use their connections to get Rangnick sacked.]

Why is Hao Qiuwang online? Is he looking at his phone?

Is Hao Ren online? Hao the King of Football, say something if you're online!

Hey!

Hao Ren was very happy, but he knew he absolutely couldn't speak at this moment.

Pretending to be an expert!

After a spectacular performance, one should remain silent; that's the coolest way to do it.

"Hey, Goodman!"

From a distance, Flann tossed him a drink, which Hao Ren caught mid-air: "Thanks!"

"That last long pass... thanks! To be honest, I really didn't expect it, haha, it was so accurate!"

"Hey buddy, what are you waiting for? You can have this goal!"

Hao Ren waved his hand dismissively, then unscrewed the bottle cap and chugged it down.

The home team's locker room was buzzing with excitement as the players reminisced about Vlaan's last-minute goal.

It's incredible that Hao Ren would choose to make a long pass under those circumstances, and that he even managed to accurately find Vlaan in the attacking third.

"We almost lost."

Kimmich remarked.

Kimmich felt incredibly guilty whenever he thought about asking Hao Ren for the ball back then.

Fortunately, Goodman was smart enough not to pass the ball to himself, otherwise the game would have ended 0-1!

"Quiet down!"

Soon after finishing his interview, Rangnick returned to the locker room, and Almas very voluntarily gave up his spot.

"Today's match was very thrilling, really thrilling. But the final result was pretty good; we got our first point of the new season in this very first match."

"Wow!!!"

As the players began to cheer, Hao Ren whispered to Kimmich next to him, "He's definitely going to have a 'but' later."

"Oh?"

Kimmich paused for a moment, and the next second Rangnick's tone changed.

"but!"

"See?" (whispering)

"……sharp."

Rangnick didn't hear Hao Ren and Kimmich's whispered conversation and continued talking to himself: "I still have to tell you, now is not the time to celebrate."

"As you all probably felt after today's match, there's a huge difference between the 2nd Bundesliga and the 3rd Bundesliga."

"If you continue playing the same game strategy as last season, there will only be one outcome for us: relegation back to the 3rd division at the end of this season!"

Rangnick's rapid change of expression amazed many of the team members in the room.

"So Coach Almas and I have also considered it, and I won't ask you to get at least a certain number of points or win at least a certain number of games in the first few games of the new season."

"What we need is a transformation, a complete and utter transformation!"

"Change always comes at a price!"

"Okay, that's all."

Rangnick's speech was relatively brief, but it felt like he said a lot.

In any case, this German coach has already left Hao Ren with the impression of being "obsessive".

To sacrifice early league results for the sake of improving the team's strength, Ralf is probably the only player in the entire 2. Bundesliga who would do something like that.

After considering all this, Hao Ren secretly made up his mind.

He needs to quickly improve his offensive skills in the upcoming training sessions, otherwise he may very well become a victim of the team's transformation!

Ultimately, hard work is everything!

Speaking of hard work, Hao Ren suddenly remembered the results of his efforts today.
