Seven Crowns

Chapter 142: Tough game

   At 19:00 on the evening of April 29, 2008 local time, at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany, with the referee's whistle, the 2007/2008 DFA Cup finals between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim officially began.

   Ibisevic kicked the ball lightly to Lu Wenbin and ran forward. Lu Wenbin half-turned and kicked the ball to Eduardo behind him, and then ran towards Bayern Munich's half.

   Then, Eduardo, Koppado, Salihovic, Gustavo and others began to pass the ball, Hoffenheim pressed forward and started offensively.

   Hoffenheim originally envisaged using the time when Bayern did not pay much attention to Lu Wenbin and not so tightly guarded at the beginning of the game, and gave Lu Wenbin a shot opportunity to see if he could score a goal at the beginning.

   As a result, Lu Wenbin just ran into Bayern’s goal within 30 meters, and his opponent’s No. 16 midfielder Otter was posted next to him.

   After running back and forth, pulling and running horizontally for a while, seeing Alter still closely following him, Lu Wenbin knew that he was being closely guarded by Alter.

   dignified Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich sent a 17-year-old Bundesliga forward with a dedicated defensive midfielder for close marking, which shows that Heathfield attaches great importance to Lu Wenbin.

   At the pre-match press conference, he strategically despised Hoffenheim, but tactically, Lu Wenbin, who is the most threatening to Bayern's goal, did not despise him at all.

   This is also the reason why they can become a celebrity coach. Hoffenheim's plan to start an attack fell through.

   can play the main force in Bayern Munich, Otter's defensive ability needless to say.

   His full-time personal marking made Lu Wenbin feel the pressure of playing against the Bundesliga and even Dortmund.

   In the 4th minute, Lu Wenbin successfully received a pass from Coppado at the front of the penalty area.

   But, Lu Wenbin didn't stop the ball, he was gently pushed by Otter beside him, and his body was tilted.

   Although he did not lose his center of gravity and fell to the ground, Lu Wenbin also lost the opportunity to kick the door.

  Also, Otter did not foul, and the referee was indifferent and did not appear to blow a whistle at all, because such a slight pushing action is so common on the football field.

   Bayern considered Lu Wenbin’s ability to score goals from free kicks before the game, and would not foul easily within 30 meters of the goal. It simply used the advantages of height, weight and experience to make Lu Wenbin unable to easily face the goal and kick the goal.

When Lu Wenbin stood firm and held the ball again, the central defender Van Bitten had already rushed out and grabbed Otter back and forth. He quickly took advantage of their height and long legs to knock Lu Wenbin's ball away. Up.

   Facing the grabbing between Otter and Van Bitten, Lu Wenbin didn't even mention his foot shot. He was stabbed before he could even pass the ball.

   originally thought that the opponent is the overlord of the Bundesliga, might be proud to underestimate the enemy and give Lu Wenbin a chance.

   Now that I look at it, come on, the difficulties faced by Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin were predicted to be much more difficult before the game. Bayern Munich and Hitzfeld were not affected by the media's optimistic comments about them.

   In fact, if Bayern Munich were so easy to be proud of the team that underestimated the enemy and led to the loss, it would not have been so stable and dominated the Bundesliga for so many years.

   Head-on against Otter and Bayern's back line, with Lu Wenbin's height, weight, physique, and dribbling ability, it is indeed very difficult to get the chance to catch the ball and hit the goal.

   Therefore, Lu Wenbin can only strengthen the ball-free running, and through the change of rhythm, use unexpected reentrant running and sudden changes in direction to create a short-term neutral catch.

   Defence is passive after all. No matter how dedicated or serious Otel is in performing the task of marking Lu Wenbin, other defenders also pay attention to assisting defense at any time, but how can it be possible to completely target Lu Wenbin to death for 90 minutes in a game?

   Lu Wenbin's off-ball run is still 13/13 after all, not zero.

   Moreover, Lu Wenbin is short in stature. Although he can't count on the header, he has an advantage over Otter, Van Bitten, Lucio and others in terms of running flexibility.

   Therefore, in the next game, Lu Wenbin began to constantly run through changes in rhythm to create a gap for receiving the ball.

   This is indeed a great consumption of physical strength, but fortunately Ralph has already started preparing for this game.

   The early removal of Lu Wenbin in the league and the physical reserves of Lu Wenbin in usual training, the coaching staff are very attentive, just for this finals to give Lu Wenbin enough physical support to 90 minutes, or even the end of the 120-minute game.

  Although Lu Wenbin may not be able to play in the next league after the finals, as long as there is a chance to win the German Cup, what does it matter to sacrifice a league?

   Lu Wenbin thought so in his heart.

Therefore, in order to get the chance to catch the ball and shoot, Lu Wenbin began to spare no effort to increase the number of runs without the ball, so that Otter could only passively chase behind him~www.ltnovel.com~ However, although Lu Wenbin strengthened He ran without the ball, but until 20 minutes of the game passed, he hadn't been able to get any decent shot opportunities.

On the one hand, Lu Wenbin’s sudden acceleration of rhythm changes not only made Otter uncomfortable, even his own teammates Eduardo, Salihović and others could not figure out which direction he would run in the next second, the number of passes and assists. The accuracy is naturally reduced a lot.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich’s offensive power is stronger than Hoffenheim, and the offensive group composed of Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Kroos, Souza, and Tony has attack power throughout Europe. They are all top-notch, let alone Germany.

Therefore, not only the full-backs and midfielders have almost no chance to advance to support the offense, but even Koppado, Salihović, and even Eduardo sometimes have to withdraw from the backcourt to participate in the defense, allowing Lu Wenbin to obtain passing support. The number is much less than in the previous Bundesliga League games.

   Fortunately, Hoffenheim used the overall defense and the players' fighting spirit to successfully defend Bayern Munich's attack.

   Although Bayern almost broke the goal twice, hit the goal post once, and was thrown out by Haas, he never lost the ball.

   However, it's not enough to be passively beaten like this all the time.

   Therefore, Salihovic, Koppado, Eduardo and others have been trying hard to find opportunities, trying to pass the ball to the front, giving Lu Wenbin a chance to hit the goal.

   Although I don’t know why Lu Wenbin’s shot on goal is so accurate, Hoffenheim’s players know that as long as Lu Wenbin is given a shot in the penalty area, he can score nine out of ten.

   This is also where the Hoffenheim team maintains a strong fighting spirit and is able to wrestle with Bayern Munich.
