Seven Crowns

Chapter 141: Superstars Gathering

   At 18:30, at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Ralph is in the visiting team's locker room to make the final mobilization for his players.

   Ralph said: "In this game, the outside world thinks that we are lost. The champion must be Bayern Munich, but are you willing to let Bayern take the championship trophy?"

   "No!" Lu Wenbin and his teammates replied in unison.

   Ralph asked again: "Do you want to taste the taste of winning the German Cup?"

   "Yes!" The players answered louder.

   Ralph nodded and said:

   "That's good! This game is not only for the whole of Germany, but for Europe and for dozens of countries and regions around the world, including Lu's motherland-China with a population of more than one billion."

"If you can beat Bayern Munich to win the title in this final, it will be of great significance to both the Hoffenheim team and your own future: Hoffenheim will be famous in the world, and you will also Become a world-renowned star."

"Bayern Munich is strong, it’s a fact. But football does not necessarily win if anyone is strong. Otherwise, what are the highlights of football? Otherwise, why are there so many unpopular match results and so many classics that defeat the strong by the weak? Battle?"

   "So, no matter what difficulties or adversities face in the game, I hope you will always maintain a strong fighting spirit and 12-point attention until the end of the game. Only in this way can we have the hope of winning."

   The players nodded fiercely, and the fighting spirit to beat Bayern Munich and become famous has risen in everyone's heart.

   Then, Ralph began the final tactical arrangement.

   This game is the same as the quarter-finals against Dortmund. Ibisevic will play the ball for Lu Wenbin at the forefront. Lu Wenbin will be the shadow forward and the offensive terminator, and the whole team will deliver shells to Lu Wenbin.

   Of course, this is what Hoffenheim did before. Everyone knows that, including Bayern coach Heathfield, Heathfield must be guarded.

   Although Lu Wenbin's off-ball running ability has improved a lot in this game, it was only his performance in training. Ralph is not sure what Lu Wenbin looks like in the actual game.

Moreover, even if Lu Wenbin’s off-the-ball running attributes have improved, in the powerful Bayern Munich penalty area, under the defense of world-class central defenders such as Lucio and Van Bitten, can Lu Wenbin receive the ball to form a goal? One question.

   Therefore, Ralph gave Lu Wenbin and others a few more words in this game.

   If Lu Wenbin is stared to death, then everyone has to adapt to the circumstances and cannot really rely on Lu Wenbin completely.

  ……

   As time goes by, the game time is getting closer and closer, the players of both sides left the locker room, came to the player channel, ready to play.

   The player lineups of both sides were also played on the big screen, and the live commentary was also read out one by one.

The first to be read is the starting lineup of Bayern Munich. They are No. 22 goalkeeper Rensing, No. 2 defender Sagnol, No. 3 defender Lucio, No. 5 defender Van Bitten, No. 30 defender Lyle, and No. 16 defender. Otter, No. 31 defensive midfielder Schweinsteiger, No. 7 midfielder Ribery, No. 39 midfielder Kroos, No. 20 midfielder Sousa, No. 9 forward Luca Tony, the game formation is 4231.

   Just look at Bayern's lineup, you can see how luxurious this Bundesliga giant is.

Sagnol, Lucio, Van Bitten, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Luca Toni, etc., are all big stars from Germany, Europe, and even the world, and fans are familiar names. .

   Almost every player's name is called out, which will arouse applause from the fans.

   Moreover, Kahn, Klose, Podolski, Ram and other superstars with names like Kahn, Klose, Lahm, etc. sit on the bench, which is simply extravagant.

   When the on-site commentary read Hoffenheim's lineup, the applause was a lot less.

   Only when Lu Wenbin's name was read, the applause was a lot louder.

   Because of Lu Wenbin's performance during this period, many neutral fans have attracted the attention, and because of the many more Chinese and overseas audiences, Lu Wenbin applauded.

Hoffenheim’s starting lineup for this game is No. 1 goalkeeper Daniel Haas, No. 13 defender Soter Law, No. 24 defender Nelson, No. 14 defender Yankel, No. 3 defender Jaisler, 21 No. back midfielder Gustavo, No. 22 midfielder Koppado, No. 23 midfielder Salihović, No. 33 midfielder Eduardo, No. 19 center Ibisevic, No. 90 forward Lu Wenbin, the formation is 442.

   At 18:50, the appearance ceremony began.

  The first appearance was the flag of the German Football Association, followed by the flags of Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim.

   In the end, it was Lu Wenbin and other starting players from the two teams leading the caddy to play.

   When Lu Wenbin walked past the trophy at the exit of the player channel, he took a deep look at the trophy.

This was the first time he had the opportunity to touch the trophy of the top professional league in Europe, but Lu Wenbin resisted the urge to reach out to touch the trophy~www.ltnovel.com~ because there is a famous curse in football, or superstition. You can't touch the championship trophy before the final. Whoever touches it loses.

   On the night of Istanbul in 2005, AC Milan's Kaka touched the Champions League trophy when he played.

   Then, the whole world knows what shocking stories happened that night.

   Although this curse is not 100% efficacious, the players would rather believe that they will basically restrain their urge to touch the trophy before the game.

   Although Lu Wenbin didn't believe it, he didn't want to put extra pressure on his teammates who believed in this curse because of his extraordinary behavior.

   Facing Bayern Munich is already under great pressure. If Lu Wenbin still touches the trophy before the game and is seen by the teammates behind, it will undoubtedly put more pressure on teammates who believe in this curse.

   Lu Wenbin doesn't want to lose to Bayern and lose the championship.

   Therefore, Lu Wenbin restrained his impulse and led the little caddy to calmly walk past the trophy.

   No one of the other players on the two teams touched the trophy, and even some of them didn’t even dare to look at it, as if the trophy would fly away.

   Amid the applause of the fans, 22 starting players entered the field, stood in line, and began to play the German national anthem.

   After the national anthem was played, the caddie and the flag left the field. The players of both sides shook hands and took a group photo. Then the captains of the two teams guessed the side of the coin under the auspices of the referee.

   When guessing the coin, Salihovic won the kick-off for Hoffenheim.

   Then, the players of both sides stood in formation at their respective half and waited for the start of the game.

   Lu Wenbin and Ibisevic were preparing to kick-off in the middle circle. The referee frequently raised his hands outside the middle circle to look at his watch, ready to blow the whistle for the start of the game.
