Seven Crowns

Chapter 110: Bundesliga League start

   Just when the coaching staff was undecided, in the last day of training before the game on January 31, after the upgraded Lu Wenbin showed more accurate shooting skills, the coaches were more inclined to start Lu Wenbin.

   And then, the main striker Dembaba strained his thigh muscles at the end of the training and needed a week of recuperation, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

   On the morning of February 1, the Hoffenheim team drove to Wiesbaden, the capital of Hessen, west of Frankfurt.

   In the afternoon, at the pre-match press conference of Wayne VS Hoffenheim, Ralph Rangnick announced Hoffenheim's starting list.

   In this game, Hoffenheim played a 433 formation. The three forwards were center No. 19 Vedad Ibisevic, right wing No. 20 Cinedo Obasi, and left wing No. 90 Lu Wenbin.

  Obasi is a right-footed player, while Lu Wenbin has a balanced left and right foot, so Ralph is placed on the left.

   However, in Ralph's tactical arrangement, this game is dominated by Lu Wenbin. Both Ibisevic and Obasi played screens for Lu Wenbin and created opportunities for Lu Wenbin to shoot.

   A 17-year-old youngster started and became the end of the offense. He should be able to hit his opponent by surprise.

At 18:00 on February 1, 2008, local time in Germany, with the referee's whistle, the first league game after the winter break, the 18th round of the German second division of the 2007/2008 season, the home court of Wayne Wiesbaden The VS Hoffenheim game officially started.

  As soon as the game started, Hoffenheim turned away and played offensive football at Wayne’s home court.

   After coaching Stuttgart and Schalke 04 Bundesliga coach Ralph Lannick entered Hoffenheim, he has always been playing offensive football.

   Focus on offense and light on defense, and after owner Hope invested nearly 20 million euros in signings this season, the adjustment of the lineup and the lack of understanding are the main reasons for the team's poor performance in the first half of the season.

   But after the first half of the season, the strong players that Hope has invested heavily in the introduction of players have become better and better, and Hoffenheim’s offensive power has also become stronger.

   This is also the reason why Hoffenheim was able to rise from the relegation zone to 8th in the standings after the 17th round of the first half of the season.

   In the second half of the season, Hoffenheim's tacit understanding is better and his attacking power is even stronger. Even in the away game, Ralph did not shake his determination to play offensive football.

   This is also one of the reasons why Lu Wenbin can start the league so quickly, because the forward has three positions and the quota is relatively generous.

   Hoffenheim's offensive was fierce.

   In the 3rd minute, No. 23 forward Sejed Salihović passed Obasi in the second after two consecutive midfielders. Obasi crossed from the wing and Ibisevic scored with a header.

   Had it not been for the ball a little higher, Hoffenheim would have scored in the opening 3 minutes.

   Even though the goal was not scored, the Wayne fans in the stands were scared enough, and then everyone started booing Hoffenheim, screaming "German Abramovich", "Golden Dollar Football" and other slogans to satirize Hoffenheim.

  Because of Hope’s assets, many Germans believe that Hope is Germany’s Abramovic, the executioner who undermines Germany’s overall football and financial health, and is full of hatred for Hoffenheim.

   Hoffenheim is basically treated like this in away games, and Hope has even received death threats from opponent extreme fans.

   This is also one of the reasons why the coaching staff is afraid that the young Lu Wenbin cannot bear the pressure on the road.

   is not only the responsibility and pressure of the starting field, but also the scolding from away fans and even extreme fans. It is indeed a bit risky to start a 17-year-old underage child.

   Actually, Lu Wenbin did receive some interference after the game started.

  Especially when he was running close to the sideline on the sidewalk, he could even clearly hear what the fans scolded on the sidelines, and there were many racist slurs against Lu Wenbin’s skin color.

   Lu Wenbin tried to find the person who abused his skin color and complained to the referee, but Carlos Eduardo pulled him away.

   Eduardo told Lu Wenbin that this kind of verbal abuse by a single fan could not find evidence at all. Even if you complain to the referee, the fans will not admit it, and the referee can't do anything about it.

  For the smooth progress of the game, referees generally ignore player complaints.

   If the fans have to suspend the game to catch people with two curses, the 90-minute football game cannot be played smoothly.

   Unless it is the kind of racist slogans that many fans blatantly chant together, or even slogans, the Football Association will punish the home club after the game, and basically no single fan will be punished.

   Moreover, even in that case, the game is rarely suspended, and the penalty is only after the game.

As a player, the best way to fight against such abuse and discrimination on the court is to score goals and score a lot of goals, so that the home team will lose by a big score, and let these home team fans know the consequences of insulting the away team players. .

   Lu Wenbin listened to Eduardo's advice ~www.ltnovel.com~ and turned his attention to the game. He vowed to give Wayne fans a good look.

   Lu Wenbin's speed, dribbling, and physique are not outstanding in the Bundesliga, but they are not hindered. His 8/8 off-the-ball running can't even reach the passing line of a forward, but Hoffenheim's overall strength can take the initiative to create a gap for him.

   Therefore, just a few minutes later, in the 8th minute, Lu Wenbin got a good shot.

   Eduardo passed the ball to Obasi on the right, Obasil passed back to Salikhović, and Salihović passed it to Ibisevic, who was in the penalty area with his back to the goal.

   This series of passes disrupted the Wayne team's defense, they can no longer tell who is Hoffenheim's offensive terminator. Subconsciously, they think that running with the ball and fighting for steals is the best way.

   So, in addition to the people around Obasi and Salihovic, the three defenders in the penalty area all rushed towards Ibisevic.

   The goalkeeper also stood nervously between Ibisevic and the goal, preventing him from turning around and hitting the goal.

   But, facing a few people from the other side, Ibisevic, who is holding the ball with his back, can't turn around and hit the goal so easily?

   The players of the Wayne team were just stupefied by Hoffenheim's series of passes, without considering the actual difficulties Ibisevic faced with the ball with his back.

   So, when they all rushed towards Ibisevic subconsciously, Lu Wenbin, who rushed to the penalty area from the left, was in an undefended gap.

   This is not the credit of Lu Wenbin's 8/8 off-the-ball running, but the overall strength of the team's frontcourt attack line completely disrupted the opponent's back line, giving Lu Wenbin an undefended goal.
