Chapter 66 League Champions! But Their Cup Opponent is a Bundesliga Team?
【? ? ? ? 】
[Awesome, another 3 assists!]
Defensive midfielder, please stop playing center! I've been earning too much lately and it makes me uneasy.
[Always following in Hao Qiuwang's footsteps!]
[Really number one? That's practically invincible. If they finish first after round 18, playing in the Bundesliga next season will be a piece of cake, right? My Mr. Goodman is going to be a Bundesliga player!]
"Game over, brothers!"
"Hao Ren's three assists sealed the game; Aaron's struggles were futile."
As Wang Chao said, when they were down by 3 goals, no matter how much Aaron tried to counterattack, it was useless.
Leipzig is destined to be the winner today!
"roar--!!!"
You have earned 6 contribution points.
Hao Ren roared, completely ignoring the system's voice.
We already owe more than 300 million, what's the point of making a few more dollars?
Clap clap clap!
Rangnick clapped incessantly in front of him, while Hao Ren clenched his fists and approached step by step.
"?"
Rangnick didn't know what Hao Ren was trying to do, and simply maintained his current posture.
At this moment, Hao Ren, who had been gathering his strength for a long time, finally made a move.
"roar--!!!"
"..."
After being yelled at by Hao Ren, Rangnick pretended to be calm and stood still, but he was actually furious inside.
That kid!
but……
To be honest, there was absolutely no problem with that leg length just now...
"..."
boom!
[Mission Progress: Steal (5/5)]
Current Status: Completed
"Awesome! It's me again, Mr. Goodman!"
"Aaron has been completely crushed..."
"Beep, beep beep!!!"
"Nice!"
Hao Ren and Sebastian hugged each other, and soon other players on the field, and even players on the bench, rushed over, forming a large circle around Hao Ren, who had just completed his hat-trick of assists.
"Vamos!!"
Sebastian yelled at Hao Ren's face.
"We're number one!"
"Number one! Number one!"
"Be gentle!"
Hao Ren yelled back, "You shouted way too loudly! You startled Mr. Goodman!"
"What?"
The surroundings were a bit chaotic. Sebastian, pushed aside by Kimmich and Bellot, didn't hear Hao Ren's words.
"I'll say it!"
"You scared Mr. Goodman!"
"Ha ha!"
"roar--!!!"
……
"Mr. Goodman!"
Boom!
"Mr. Goodman!"
Boom!
During the event, more than 1000 Leipzig fans in the away stands chanted Hao Ren's name rhythmically, cheering for the hat-trick scorer.
Three assists in a single match—only one player has achieved this feat in the recent seasons of the German Second Division.
That's Mr. Goodman!
The hidden mastermind within RB Leipzig!
That man!
That's right, it's Grandpa Niu!
Moreover, Grandpa Niu has already achieved an assist hat-trick more than once this season!
"Long live Mr. Goodman!"
Hao Ren raised his hands and clapped continuously, then took sunglasses from a fan and put them on.
"Wow!!!"
Overcome with emotion, Hao Ren took off his sunglasses and threw them onto the stands, causing a frenzy among the spectators.
"This is me..."
"Don't speak!"
Hao Ren gestured for the sunglasses owner to be quiet: "I'll buy you 10 later, stack them up, they'll protect you from bullets."
"..."
"Goodman!"
"Goodman!"
"Mr. Goodman!"
……
"Holy crap, we're number one!"
The away team's dressing room descended into chaos as Leipzig players flooded in.
Sebastian's face turned bright red. He was holding a bottle of mineral water and spraying it on everyone he saw.
Fuck you!
Hao Ren jumped up, deftly picked up a bottle of mineral water, and immediately launched a counterattack: "I'll fuck you to death! I'll fuck you to death!"
"Hey bro, hurry up, get me a new bottle, help me fuck him!"
Rangnick and Almas arrived late.
As soon as the Leipzig coach opened the door, Hao Ren poured a bottle of mineral water directly in his face.
"..."
Hao Ren had already slipped away, leaving only a speechless Rangnick behind.
"...Pfft! Cough cough!"
Almas was having a hard time keeping his composure, but he managed to hold back after seeing Rangnick's serious expression.
Rangnick shook his head and wiped the water from his face with his sleeve. "Aren't you going in to celebrate?"
"Oh, me?"
Almas raised an eyebrow, glanced at the flooded locker room floor, and the Leipzig players running around in slippers: "...I'll pass. Let the youngsters play."
……
Click, click, click!
Click, click, click! ! !
"Mr. Goodman! You've completed your second hat-trick of assists this season!"
In the mixed interview area, more than a dozen reporters squeezed in, all eager for the opportunity to interview Hao Ren.
"It's just so-so."
As he spoke, Hao Ren wiped his body with a towel.
"Mr. Goodman remains as unassuming as ever. But... Mr. Goodman, why are you dripping with sweat?"
The reporter said, pointing to the floor beneath Hao Ren's feet.
"Oh, I just took a shower. I came out before I was even dry."
Hao Ren continued wiping his body, adopting an indifferent attitude.
"Mr. Goodman remains as unconventional as ever."
The lead reporter flattered him.
"Hmm... Is there anything you want to ask?"
Just as the reporter was about to speak, Hao Ren suddenly spoke up, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"You go first."
Hao Ren pointed to the reporter who had just flattered him, and the latter chuckled, giving his colleague behind him a sly smile.
With Mr. Goodman being so popular, how can you be the first person to interview him without using some tricks?
"After defeating Aalen today, you are now in first place in the league. According to statistics from data websites, you are currently the most popular team in the entire 2. Bundesliga! Mr. Goodmann, do you think your current performance is sustainable?"
"It's hard to say; being number one now is only temporary."
Hao Ren, as always, liked to retort to reporters: "But I think we are strong contenders for first place, and we are confident that we will be promoted to the Bundesliga at the end of the season."
"Mr. Goodman, did you have a verbal altercation with the home team's fans during the match?"
"Mr. Goodman, why do you possess such a strong ability to provide assists? You always seem to find scoring opportunities!"
"Mr. Goodman..."
Hao Ren is now considered one of the top stars in the German Second Division, and naturally he has gained the support of fans and even reporters.
Not to mention that Leipzig is currently in first place in the league.
"As a newly promoted team, RB Leipzig completed a comeback against Ingolstadt after the 18th round of the league, becoming the new league leaders. They are currently one point ahead of Ingolstadt!"
The commentator on the Sport1 television platform expressed his amazement after the match.
"It's hard to believe this team was playing in the 3. Liga last season!"
A colleague chimed in.
"Yes, Red Bull's investment in Leipzig has been very successful so far. If Leipzig can maintain their current excellent performance, they may set a new record."
"From fifth place in the league in 2009 to promotion to the Bundesliga after this season, an unprecedented four promotions in six years!"
"Yes, that's right. Also, discussions about Goodman are getting increasingly heated online."
"Hey Williams, there's a hot topic in the 2. Bundesliga right now... um, who do you think should be Goodman's role model?"
"I have no idea."
The commentator named Williams shook his head repeatedly: "In the completely abnormal development mode, Goodman's growth has gone completely astray and is unpredictable."
"Do you also support the theory of complete metamorphosis?"
"Yes, of course! I don't think anyone knows what will happen to Goodman in the future, not even Goodman himself."

Popular discussion on Dongqiudi: RB Leipzig tops the Bundesliga 2! Hao Ren's unstoppable hat-trick of assists leads Leipzig to a league comeback victory.
Appendix: 2014-15 2. Bundesliga standings (all rounds 18 completed):
1. RB Leipzig, 39 points. (Promotion zone)
2. Ingolstadt, 37 points. (Promotion zone)
4. Kaiserslautern, 30 points.
4. Darmstadt 98, 28 points.
5. Brunswick, 27 points.
39 points in 18 rounds!
First in the league!
According to data from social media, the hashtags #RB and #Leipzig are currently the most popular in the 2. Bundesliga.
There are more fans discussing Leipzig than fans discussing Ingolstadt and Kaiserslautern combined!
The most problematic thing is that the homepage of the German 2nd Bundesliga website still features the current league assist rankings.
Appendix: 2014-15 2. Bundesliga assist leaderboard (all matches completed after Round 18):
1. Hao Ren (RB Leipzig), 19 times.
2. Gross (Ingolstadt), 8 times.
2. Odlon (Munich 1860), 8 times.
4. Poulsen (RB Leipzig), 6 times.
5. Dobriansky (St. Pauli), 5 times.
I was so scared I cried!
This is the first reaction of many fans when they see the assist rankings.
In fact, Hao Ren was already number one on the assist list when the statistics were compiled at the end of the 11th round, but at that time the gap between him and the second and third place was not as big as it is now.
As the league entered November and December, both Gross and Odron experienced a decline in form, with their assist capabilities also decreasing.
But Mr. Goodman didn't!
Mr. Goodman is getting stronger and stronger!
The other players can't even see his butt anymore!
"Yes, that's right, that's complete metamorphosis."
Bild reporter Erend started a live stream in his personal capacity, and the screen displayed the current Bundesliga 2 assist rankings.
"Complete abnormal development is unpredictable. When everyone thought Goodman's competitive form couldn't be sustained, he actually became stronger."
Allen smiled at the camera: "So, don't try to predict the future. Even Goodman himself doesn't know what his next step will be."
……
On Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform), it's hotly debated: Hao Ren is leading the assist charts by a large margin, and German journalists generally believe he is transforming into a "pure attacking player"; 19 assists in 18 games is a statistic that shouldn't belong to a defensive midfielder.
The afternoon after the match against Aalen, the Leipzig players started their indoor barbecue at the training ground to celebrate the team's rise to the top of the league table.
"Come on, Ralph! Don't be shy with me!"
Hao Ren picked up the grilled beef and placed it on a plate, handing it to Rangnick very politely: "I grilled the first one, even Chicken Bro wouldn't give it to you, but you get it, sir."
"oh?"
Rangnick looked surprised, smiled, and then took the barbecue.
Ok……
"To be honest, Goodman, your technique is still very good."
"No need for further explanation."
Hao Ren patted Rangnick on the shoulder, then returned to the barbecue area, ready to continue showcasing his grilling skills.
"18 games, 19 assists! That's the great Mr. Goodman."
Anthony-Jung leaned against the table, teasing Hao Ren with Dem, giving off the vibe of a gangster.
"Watch and learn carefully, and you can do it too when the time comes."
Hao Ren focused on his barbecue business.
"Mr. Goodman, are you still playing as a defensive midfielder?"
"certainly!"
Hao Ren answered quickly, and at this moment, Poulsen in front of him also raised his question: "19 assists in only half of the league season? This is not the data of a defensive midfielder, is it? It should be the data of an attacking midfielder."
"It's rare for an attacking midfielder to have these kinds of statistics," Kimmich corrected.
"Ugh."
Hao Ren raised his hands: "Why study it so carefully? Didn't Ralph say we were going to play with positional ambiguity? The coach wants me to attack, so what can I do? As long as we win, that's all that matters."
"We are now invincible."
Hao Ren sprinkled seasoning on the barbecue: "No team can beat us anymore. Not just in the 2nd Bundesliga, but also in the German Cup later on. Hmm... shouldn't we start the draw?"
Hao Ren's sudden question quickly diverted the players' attention.
Leipzig had already advanced to the round of 16 of the German Cup back in October, but the draw for the knockout stage didn't start until December, which was really frustrating.
However, there's no need to wait any longer. Today is the day of the German Cup knockout stage draw, and Leipzig players will watch the entire process on television.
Hao Ren placed the beef he had carefully roasted on the table, while the television in front of him was showing live footage of the German Cup draw.
Bayern Munich (BL) vs Hoffenheim (BL)
BL stands for the Bundesliga, and Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim, two Bundesliga teams, met directly in the Round of 16.
Then comes the second group in the upper half of the bracket.
Freiburg (BL) vs. Braunschweig (2.BL)
"Why haven't we shown up yet?"
Kimmich seemed to be getting a little impatient.
"What's the panic?"
Hao Ren remained completely calm: "The results will be out soon. Let's see who we beat."
【RB Leipzig (2.BL)】
coming soon!
As soon as the slip of paper representing Leipzig was drawn by the raffle guest, the Leipzig players in the training ground immediately became serious, and Rangnick even narrowed his eyes.
Leipzig's opponent is...
Bayer Leverkusen (BL)
"..."
"W-why is it from the Bundesliga...?"
Kimmich's voice trembled slightly, and the helpless Joshua could only look at his master beside him.
However, his master's situation is not very good either.
Mr. Goodman had a serious expression on his face, and he no longer had the arrogant feeling he had before.
"I...I don't know..."
"Holy crap, bro, what do we do now?"
The mentor and student duo looked at each other in dismay, and the Leipzig players' mood plummeted from heaven to hell in a short period of time.
They finally made it to the knockout stage of the German Cup.
Why the hell are we playing Bayer Leverkusen in the first round?!
……
Baidu Tieba: Waaaaah, Hao is dead! The German Cup knockout stage draw is over, RB Leipzig will face Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16.
[666, this draw was so bad it wasn't even a show. Giving up the top five Bundesliga teams is one thing, but what does that mean? Leverkusen is in the Champions League zone, right?]
[I'm dying of laughter. I wonder how Mr. Goodman is feeling right now. Let me offer incense to Mr. Goodman in advance.]
Leipzig's luck is truly phenomenal; they thought reaching the quarterfinals would be a breeze.
[Ingolstadt: Are you so arrogant after beating a near-Bundesliga team? Come on, now you're going to play a real Bundesliga team.]
The pessimistic attitude of fans towards the draw results shows how big the gap is between Leipzig and a true Bundesliga team.
Not to mention that this Bayer Leverkusen is currently fourth in the Bundesliga!
Mr. Goodman is about to cry!
However, just as the fans on the forum were lamenting, that man appeared!
