What is an attacking defensive midfielder?

Chapter 47 So it turns out I, Hao Qiuwang, am a maggot?

【? ? ? ? 】

【You know what?! You really can't believe it! They're practically identical!】

[How are they exactly the same? I, Mr. Goodman, am not an insect!]

[They're exactly the same; their early and mature stages are completely different styles. The funniest part is that Hao Hao really did have a pupa stage, spending the entire last season on the bench. What else could it be but a pupa?]

[6666, you're doomed, get ready for your private messages to explode!]

The fact that Bild quoted a piece of biological knowledge was nothing special; it was just a very simple sentence at the end.

But the fans' focus was indeed peculiar, which actually boosted the article's popularity.

This quote from Bild is excellent.

1. The early and mature stages are completely different, with vastly different styles → referring to the Evergrande youth training period and the 2. Bundesliga season.

2. There is a pupa stage in the growth process → referring to the German third division season, like a pupa curled up on the bench, unable to move at all.

Isn't that exactly what Mr. Goodman is talking about?

The issue is……

Bild, are you sure you're not trying to discredit Hao Yaning?

……

boom!

"Awesome, that's a goal!"

"1:0!"

"Leipzig is in the lead!"

This is a second-round match of the German Cup, and Wang Chao is still providing live coverage of Leipzig.

"That's why I told you guys, Rangnick should start Hao Ren."

"Leipzig's defense is terrible. Kimmich's turn is like a tractor. If Hao Ren doesn't go into the backfield, the ball will just be passed through haphazardly."

"Guys, I checked the schedule. If we win this match, Leipzig will play in the knockout stage of the German Cup, and they might face a Bundesliga team. Haha! That'll be interesting, right?"

"...Hao Ren is a maggot? No, stop paying attention to that idiot reporter from Bild, okay? What do you mean by 'completely abnormal development'? I don't know anything about that."

"...It's from junior high school textbooks. I didn't go to junior high school."

Wang Chao was furious.

I really don't understand how someone could start criticizing their idol just because of an article.

Because Hao Ren's development is completely abnormal, is Hao Ren a maggot?

Although Chao entered society as a layabout after graduating from elementary school, he could still spot the logical problems in this at a glance.

"Don't say anything. Look at Aue, aren't they being walked around like dogs by me, Hao Qiuwang?"

"Here it comes, holy crap, it's a brutal flying tackle!"

"Mr. Goodman!"

"Leipzig is on the counterattack!"

"..."

"Give it to Poulsen on the wing!"

"Pulsen and Hao Ren are teaming up again!"

"Goal!"

"2:0!"

"Hao Ren's assist!"

After scoring, the Leipzig players went down to the stands to celebrate.

The Aue players on the field were in a difficult position.

They faced Leipzig once at the beginning of the season, and at that time the gap between the two teams was still within a manageable range.

Why are they the ones getting beaten up today?

I feel a little dazed.

Not sure, let's wait and see!

"Maurice brings the ball up."

"Did Hao Ren make a direct forward run?"

"Damn, Leipzig are playing really aggressively!"

"Maurice passes the torch to Hao Ren!"

Receiving a pass from his teammate on the wing, Hao Ren pulled the ball and turned around, noticing Poulsen ready ahead, and decisively activated his template power.

[Tonik Rose's through ball template (replica)]

A replica template from Real Madrid's key midfielder.

Here, Hao Ren used a little trick when hitting the ball, controlling his power and directly using the long-distance through ball template as a short through ball.

Poulsen received the ball and easily scored.

You have earned 3 contribution points.

The score reached 3-0, and Hao Ren also completed his brace of assists in this game.

"Phew... That was great!"

Rangnick gave a round of applause, and after waiting five or six minutes, he substituted both Hao Ren and Poulsen.

The fans watching the game felt a little disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.

Rangnick's substitutions are clearly a preparation for the upcoming league matches.

This wave of personnel changes also illustrates one thing:

Mr. Goodman is already a key player for Leipzig!

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

After the match, fans naturally turned their attention to the post-match interviews.

The reporter, clearly well-informed, promptly invited Hao Ren out, hoping he would respond to his recent remarks.

"Dear Mr. Goodman, do you consider yourself to be undergoing complete metamorphosis?"

"..."

"Ha ha!"

Kimmich, who was standing next to him, accidentally laughed and was immediately glared at by Hao Ren.

I've never seen such a disrespectful disciple!

"You can say I have completely abnormal development, but that doesn't mean I'm a maggot. I'm not a maggot."

Hao Ren shook his head: "I admit that I have changed a lot since a few years ago, but I haven't changed to the point where a maggot has turned into a fly."

"Mr. Goodman was very strong before."

Kimmich turned to Hao Ren beside him: "Does 'very strong' mean always sitting on the bench?"

"..."

"Being a substitute is only temporary. My main task is Leipzig II. Chicken Bro, I was only 15 years old last year. Can you please not have such high expectations of me? Being a substitute last season was normal, okay?"

"Staying on the bench all the time, isn't that just being a maggot?"

"Hey, come on!"

Hao Renchao shrugged at Kimmich: "Brother Chicken, I'm warning you, don't be too high-profile!"

"Oh, haha, my mistake, Master, I was wrong."

Kimmich stretched out his palms forward and bowed to Hao Ren to express his apology.

However, Hao Ren didn't take it to heart.

We're all buddies, and buddies can joke around with each other!

"KC? Joshua, why does Goodman call you BC? That doesn't seem to be an initial of your name?"

During Hao Ren and Kimmich's conversation, the astute reporter noticed something unusual.

"Oh, that means Kin Chicken. It's because my last name, 'Kimmich,' sounds the same as 'chicken' in Chinese, and I'm older than him, so he sometimes calls me Kin Chicken."

Kimmich replied.

Is this word derogatory?

The reporter was actually asking Hao Ren, but Kimmich answered first.

"Definitely not. He and I are like brothers, he would never use a derogatory term for me. Besides, 'Kin' refers to a blood relative, so it's clearly a term of respect."

"Yes" is a term of respect.

Hao Ren nodded, agreeing with Kimmich's assessment.

"I see, CB is Joshua's nickname. Mr. Goodman, do you have a nickname on the team?"

"maggot."

Before Hao Ren could speak, Kimmich interrupted and answered first.

"Ficken! (Damn it!) You're stuck on that topic, aren't you?"

Hao Ren nudged Kimmich and replied, "Actually, Goodman is just my nickname. But... well, you know, Joshua and I are brothers, so I should have a similar nickname."

"What do you want to call me?"

Kimmich's eyes widened, somewhat curious about what nickname Hao Ren would give him.

"I'm your master, just like your father. You call me Brother Chicken, so I'll call you..."

Hao Ren thought about it and finally came up with an answer that he thought was good.

"Father Chicken"

You can call me Father Chicken.

"Wow!"

The reporter nodded: "KC and FC, KFC..."

"This not only reflects the close relationship between the two of you, but it also flows very well. Mr. Goodman, you are truly a talented fellow!"
