Chapter 56: Three victories in the Devil's Month – Leipzig's push for the top spot in the
The hashtag #OutsideofFoot of Bundesliga2 trended as the second most searched topic on German Twitter, making Hao Ren a hot topic among German football fans.
That night, Hao Ren was also extremely excited, repeatedly searching for his name on Twitter and Baidu Tieba.
In order to maintain his aloof image, Hao Ren had to refrain from replying to these posts that boasted about him.
This may seem like nothing, but it is actually a very difficult thing to do.
Mr. Goodman has it tough!
On the third day of training at the base, Hao Ren was called away during warm-up.
"Sir, is that old man's name Mintzlaff?"
Hao Ren pointed to Mintzlaff, who had just walked past him.
"Old man? You should know he's the chairman of the council, shouldn't you? Can't you show some respect?"
"However... I don't object to how you address him."
Rangnick gestured for Hao Ren to sit down across from him: "Goodman, when you guys talk to each other in private, do you also like to call me 'old man'? Like when you're chatting with your KC (Chicken Bro)?"
"Oh, no no no!"
Hao Ren quickly shook his head: "That's impossible, sir."
"Haha, it doesn't really matter."
Rangnick doesn't care what the players call him.
As long as players focus on training and matches and maintain high efficiency in their work, everything else can be forgiven.
"Good, I want to ask you, what happened to the outside of your foot in the game the day before yesterday?"
"It wasn't a guess."
"If you're guessing, just admit it."
"..."
The two spoke at the same time, and Rangnick made a direct prediction about Hao Ren.
"How could it be a guess, sir? It certainly wasn't a guess."
"Last season I was a substitute at Leipzig, and I was out of the running for too long. But I never forgot to train."
Hao Ren wanted to explain the principle of "accumulating knowledge and experience before making a breakthrough" to Rangnick, but the despicable German in front of him simply didn't believe him.
Ralph's eyes seemed to say: I know you're lucky!
"No, it's not about luck, sir. I never rely on luck, only on my abilities."
"Alright, alright."
Rangnick waved his hand, ending the conversation prematurely.
"That's not the point. What I really want to say is, could you please stop arguing with me all the time?"
"Was everything I said during the interview correct?"
"Good, what you said will damage my reputation within the team!"
Hao Ren blinked.
"Okay, no problem."
"..."
Rangnick squinted: "You just agree like that?"
"Damn, what else can we do?"
Hao Ren stood up: "Sir, don't you believe me? I've saved Leipzig from disaster many times; have you forgotten already?"
"Okay, okay, you're right."
Rangnick apologized to Hao Ren: "I believe you now, go and train."
"Oh, right."
Just as Hao Ren was about to leave, Rangnick called him back.
"I'm very busy, sir. Please don't keep bothering me."
"..."
"Good, you're very talented, I have to say that. And please make good use of your talent, don't just be an ordinary person."
"I have never been an ordinary person."
"Then there's no problem. I really like your answer. Please keep up the good work; I can foresee that your achievements will exceed everyone's expectations."

After finishing his extra training session tonight, Hao Ren patted the muscles on his thighs.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by.
"Holy crap!"
Temperatures in Germany have been dropping rapidly since the beginning of November, and by the end of the month they have stabilized at single digits Celsius.
In this kind of weather, if there's wind, it must be a very uncomfortable thing!
Ok……
Based on Hao Ren's experience in Germany last year, it is expected that Leipzig will see snow next month.
It will be much more difficult to practice after it snows, so Hao Ren has to do it as soon as possible if he wants to improve his proficiency!

"Our current results are already quite good, at least for now. But I don't want you to be complacent because of that."
"We must always maintain our ambition, always maintain our desire for victory, and never be satisfied!"
Rangnick is putting pressure on the players again.
Perhaps because Hao Ren's interview remarks offended the German, Rangnick deliberately chose a seat closest to Hao Ren during his reprimand.
Hao Ren couldn't even back down; Rangnick's roar was incredibly grating in his ears.
"I must remind you, quite unusually, that to achieve a high ranking in the league, what we need to do is not to beat any very strong teams, but to maintain an absolute winning percentage against mid-table and bottom-ranked teams!"
"When we face weaker teams, we can't afford to slip up. We should press them and put them under pressure."
"In the match the day after tomorrow, please release the pressure you've been under in training and put it on our opponents' shoulders!"
……
"Goal!" (in German)
"A goal from Morris!"
"3:1!"
Leipzig has extended their lead!
"Sanderhausen seems to be no match for RB at all!"
"Leipzig might get three wins in November!"
The official commentators praised Leipzig's performance in this match.
Rangnick's system is slowly taking shape, and Leipzig players are gradually finding their form.
As is well known, November is Leipzig's devil month.
Based on the current situation, Leipzig may achieve a 75% win rate this month (3 wins and 1 loss in 4 matches)!
"..."
"Goodman!"
"Goodman's pass!"
"Poulsen, make a wide corner!"
"Goal!"
"4:1!"
"My God!"
"It was another assist from Gudmann! Leipzig completely sealed the game; Sandhausen has no chance left!"
With the score difference widening to 3 goals, Rangnick began making substitutions.
Hao Ren, Poulsen, and Vlaan were substituted in turn.
Clearly, Rangnick believed that victory in this match was a foregone conclusion.
Leipzig needs to conserve its energy and build up its strength.
Just one week later, Leipzig will host Ingolstadt.
That's the top team in the 2. Bundesliga!
"..."
"Beep, beep beep—!!!"
