Seven Crowns

Chapter 105: German Cup One/Eight Finals

   In a blink of an eye, Lu Wenbin has been training for the first team in Hoffenheim for half a month, and the time came on January 28, 2008.

   Within half a month, Lu Wenbin, who has no language barriers and has deliberately integrated with the old players, has completely integrated into the team.

   In order to play the game as soon as possible, help the team win the double crown, and complete three system tasks, Lu Wenbin's training attitude is very serious.

   Although Lu Wenbin's speed, physique, dribbling, etc. have all become ordinary in the first team, he still firmly established his foothold with his 17/17 shooting attributes.

   After half a month of training, both the coach and the players are surprised to find that the youngest 17-year-old Chinese teenager who has just been promoted from the youth team is the most accurate shooter in the first team of Hoffenheim.

   As long as he gets the opportunity to shoot in front of the goal, the probability of hitting the goal frame is much higher than that of other forwards, and the scoring efficiency is naturally much higher than that of others.

   Such a performance on the training ground made Ralph Rangnick decide to give Lu Wenbin a chance to play, and use real swords and guns to test Lu Wenbin's fineness.

   However, this opportunity is not a league, but a cup match.

   Anyway, Hoffenheim’s goal this season is to get promoted, not the German Cup.

   Therefore, it is not impossible to give Lu Wenbin a chance to perform in the cup.

   The German Cup is always a win-or-loss game. If you lose, you will be out. But neither Ralph nor the owner Hope is here. It doesn't matter if you are out.

   Tomorrow will be the first game of Hoffenheim after the winter break: the 2007/2008 German Cup 1/8 finals Hoffenheim's home game against the first-tier team Rostock.

   Just three days after the German Cup, it was the first Bundesliga game after the winter break: the 18th round of Hoffenheim’s away game against Wayne Wiesbaden.

   The interval between the two games is too short, and the second Bundesliga with Wayne is more important.

   Therefore, in the 1/8 finals of the German Cup, Hoffenheim is destined to not be the main player and to stay for the league.

   So, on the afternoon of January 28, when Ralph Rangnick announced the 18-man squad for the German Cup 1/8 finals the next day, he announced a half-main and half-substitute roster.

   And Lu Wenbin's name is among the eighteen people.

  The first official game to be promoted to the first team was a cup game that was not taken seriously, and it was his luck for Lu Wenbin to be included in the big list.

   One night later, on the evening of January 29, Lu Wenbin walked into Hoffenheim’s home stadium-Hope Stadium for the first time as a first-team player.

   Although he entered the squad for the eighteenth man, Lu Wenbin failed to start. He sat on the bench with several other substitute players and waited for the start of the game.

   The Hope Stadium, which can accommodate more than 6,300 seats, was already full at this time. The audience chanted the slogans of "Come on Hoffenheim" or "Holy Village must win" to welcome the first game of the Hope Stadium in 2008.

   Although Hoffenheim is only a village, the Hoffenheim Club also belongs to Rhein Neckar County and Sinsheim City.

Therefore, many fans in Rhein Neckar and Sinsheim regard Hoffenheim as their home team, and drive to watch every home game, so that every home game in Hoffenheim is Full.

   Such a scene, Lu Wenbin had seen it before when he was watching a home game in the stands.

   However, this is the first time he sits on the bench as a player and sees the cheers of the spectators in the stands. Don't have a feeling.

   When the live broadcast began to broadcast the list of players from both sides, every Hoffenheim player received applause from the audience, even the substitute Lu Wenbin and others were no exception.

   It’s just that Lu Wenbin’s applause was lower than those of his teammates known to the fans, and some fans from non-local villagers inexplicably asked each other who this suddenly appeared No.90 "Lu" was.

   At 19:00 on January 29th, German time, Hoffenheim's home game against Bundesliga team Rostock in the 2007/2008 German Football Association Cup 1/8 finals officially began.

   In fact, not only Hoffenheim in order to upgrade the German Cup unintentionally, Rostock also unintentionally in the German Cup in order to relegation in the Bundesliga.

After the 17th round of the Bundesliga before the winter break, Rostock ranked fourth from the bottom in the Bundesliga with 17 points, only more than the third-to-last Nuremberg and the second-to-last Cottbus with the same points in the relegation zone. 2 minutes.

   A little carelessness, Rostock may fall into the relegation zone after a game.

   Therefore, in this German Cup game, Rostock has a more thorough rotation than Hoffenheim. Except for the two or three main players, the others are all substitutes in the usual league.

   The 1/8 final of the German Cup has been strategically abandoned by Rostock.

Moreover, even the players who played were absent-minded ~www.ltnovel.com~. As a result, in the 38th minute of the first half, Hoffenheim was shot by Brazilian forward Carlos Eduardo from outside the penalty area. With a long shot, the newly promoted Bundesliga Hoffenheim led the first-tier team Rostock 1-0 in the German Cup.

   Suddenly, the entire Hope Stadium was boiling, and the audience shouted Eduardo's name with exhaustion and celebrated wildly.

   The momentum made by thousands of spectators is greater than that of tens of thousands of fans when Lu Wenbin played the high school league final at the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center.

   European fans seem even crazier.

   The spectators don’t care whether Rostock has tried their best, they only know that the second-tier team Hoffenheim they support is leading the first-tier team Rostock in the game.

   This one reason alone is enough for the audience to celebrate with ecstasy.

   However, this goal also ignited the anger of Rostock players.

   After all, Rostock is also a first-class team! Even if it is relegated next season, this season is one level higher than Hoffenheim.

   Therefore, in the next game, Rostock launched a crazy attack against Hoffenheim to counterattack.

   Although Hoffenheim held the lead in the last few minutes of the first half and did not lose the ball, Rostock scored and equalized the score in the first 4 minutes of the second half, and the two sides tied 1-1.

   Afterwards, the game continued until the 70th minute with Rostock's wild attack and Hoffenheim's difficult defense, and the score remained unchanged.

   Among them, Hoffenheim had two excellent counterattacks, but they were all wasted by No. 17 substitute forward Tobias Weiss.
