Chapter 96 The Midfield Rise
(Sorry, there are some problems with the update in the past two days, mainly because there is too much work. When the work slows down, there will be more and more. Thank you for your support!)

Nick ran over immediately, and Tofting pretended to be concerned about Li Yihuan's injury, but was pushed away by Nick.

"Go away, you're so fucking barbaric, it's unreasonable!" Nick cursed loudly, and Tofting felt guilty, and it was rare that he didn't argue with Nick, and turned and ran back.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's team doctor also rushed in. Li Yihuan has completely conquered Karl's heart through 7 Bundesliga games. Such a precious Karl is naturally very concerned. As soon as he saw Li Yihuan collapsed, he immediately ordered the team doctor to rush into the field to treat Li Yihuan's injuries.

However, after inspection, it turned out that this was a false alarm. Li Yihuan's injury was not serious, but a muscle strain. Tofting's tackle was still avoided by Li Yihuan just now, but the muscle was a bit strained.

Li Yihuan's body is still a little tired after several consecutive main games. After all, it is the physical fitness of the Chinese. In the face of such a high-intensity game, Li Yihuan's physical condition still has some problems.

Nick immediately made a substitution gesture at Karl. The master and apprentice had Lin Xi in their hearts, and Karl immediately replaced Li Yihuan with Wenhoff. Now that the score is leading, Wenhoff's playing can also stabilize the morale of the army.

"Nick, what the coach means is to let us shrink our defense. The game time is running out. We don't need to go after 3:0." Wenhoff immediately ran to Nick and said Karl's meaning after he came on the field.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make the left side solid." Wenhof smiled. At Wenhof's age, although it is difficult to play for 90 minutes, there is no problem in playing for a few minutes.

After the restart, Nick sent a free-kick directly into the penalty area, and Jankel jumped high and headed it over the bar.

At this time, Karl replaced Mateus, who had no achievements in this game, with Shunsuke Nakamura. The veteran is too old. Although he still has experience, his physical condition is a bit worrying. Karl already has an idea about the use of Mateus.

The Hamburg team then seized the limited time to attack, but Borussia Mönchengladbach did not leave them any chance. After the referee blew the final whistle, Borussia Mönchengladbach finally defeated the Hamburg team by 2 goals in the away game, with 22 points and continued to stay at the top of the list.

Off the court, Wang Kai interviewed Li Yihuan.

"Xiao Lizi, you played very well in this game, but you were injured by the opponent's shovel. Can you tell us about your injury?"

"The injury is not serious, please rest assured Chinese fans."

"After you switched to left midfielder, you had a lot of bright spots in offense. This game is the key to Borussia Mönchengladbach's victory. Can you talk about the mystery of this?"

"This is mainly due to Nick's excellent interception ability, and he can always pass the ball to me in the first time, and my advantage is speed. The Hamburg team seems to have not expected my attack to be so fast. I feel very relaxed to play with such excellent teammates. This is why I am getting more and more happy in Borussia Mönchengladbach."

"Okay then, take a good rest and continue to bring glory to our Chinese football after recovering from the injury."

After interviewing Li Yihuan, Wang Kai caught up with Nick again.

"Hi Nick, can I interview you for a few words?"

"Haha, Wang Kai, you are really pervasive. You actually managed to come here for an interview. Tell me, what's your problem?"

"Nick, you completely froze Edmundo in this game, is there any secret to that?"

"Haha, Edmundo, that stupid ass, actually wanted to break through my defense one-on-one. This is the biggest reason for Hamburg's failure. Football is always an overall project. A certain player may have a wonderful performance, but it is impossible to bring about a qualitative change for the team."

"That's great, Nick, what do you think about the Edmondo boxing referee incident?"

"Hey, poor referee, Edmondo's performance fully shows that he is a beast. Maybe he is a good player, but he is not a good man."

"Finally, Borussia Mönchengladbach have been unbeaten in 8 rounds, and they are even at the top of the standings. Nick, are you confident that you can maintain this advantage until the end of the season?"

"Of course, we have a group of good players, there is no reason not to fight for the championship!"

Borussia Mönchengladbach's strong performance also stimulated several veteran teams.

The focus of this round is the strong dialogue between Bayern and Hertha Berlin. After learning from the pain, Hitzfeld finally molded Ballack as the only core of the team. All players who did not deal with Ballack were put on the bench.

The facts also proved that Hitzfeld's decision was very correct. Ballack made 2 passes and 1 shot in the whole game, helping Bayern beat Hertha Berlin 3:1 at home. Ballack is born to be the core material, but Bayern has too many stars. Many people don't accept Ballack as a rookie. Why should he be the core as soon as he arrives at Bayern?The limelight was taken away by Ballack, and these stars were naturally unwilling.

But the results speak for themselves, and there is no way for Bayern to get a good ranking in the standings. It is said that this time it was Beckenbauer who spoke.

And it was Chinese forward Hao Dong who scored the goal for Hertha Berlin. Hao Dong's ability to grab points is indeed good enough. Although he is not strong in body, he runs very well. Coupled with Pulitzer's support, Hao Dong's goal is also reasonable.

But it is a pity that Hertha Berlin was completely passive in this game, especially in the midfield duel. The combination of Ballack and Effenberg completely cut off the central axis of Hertha Berlin. There are not many opportunities for Pulitzer and Hao Dong to receive the ball.

Leverkusen's Ben also slaughtered Malulm in 4: 1, and Freyl was shining. Now Leverkusen has successfully trained Frey into the absolute core of the midfield. Frey's left and right are Schneider and Kovac, and Emanson is behind him. With the deepening of the league, Leverkuson's midfielder is also running normally, and Lamello is changed. After kicking the defender, his combination with Norwater also made Leverkusen's defense line very firm.

Both teams are on the right track, and the league matchup may only really begin now.

If you look at the strength of the team, Borussia Mönchengladbach still seems to be slightly inferior. Except for Nick, veterans like Matthaus can't be compared with their opponents in the entire midfield.

Perhaps, one Nick is enough to offset the midfielders of the two teams, whoever wins the midfielder wins the world, and whoever wins the Nick wins the midfielder!

After the end of this round of the league, the major media have described the midfielders of several teams in great detail. The midfielder has indeed become a key factor in the Bundesliga hegemony.
