Seven Crowns

Chapter 148: Overtime

   In the first half of the overtime game, Hoffenheim squeezed the offense, and naturally also took the risk of being counterattacked by Bayern Munich.

   Although Bayern is at a disadvantage, it will not be obediently beaten and never fight back, especially when there is a side knife like Ribery.

   In the 103rd minute of the first half of overtime, Hoffenheim was almost defeated by Ribery.

   Fortunately, Daniel Haas made a world-class save and threw Ribery’s long-distance counterattack with a long shot.

   The two sides continued to take a 2-2 score to the sidelines to rest for a while, preparing to exchange venues and enter the second half of the overtime game later.

   On the sidelines, Lu Wenbin was drinking water sweating profusely. Ralph must not panic after instructing his defense and must be alert to Bayern's counterattack.

   If there is still a chance for a penalty shoot-out, Bayern Munich's goal in overtime is definitely dead.

   Therefore, Ralph specifically urged Gustavo and others to stabilize the line of defense and beware of Bayern's counterattack.

At this time, Lu Wenbin, who took a sip of water, accidentally turned his head and looked at Bayern, but saw that Lucio and Van Bitten were both lying on the ground, panting and sweating, being treated by their team doctor. Give them a massage with the coach.

   There was no intermission in the overtime game. At most, the referee gave everyone a few minutes to take a break.

   But, just for such a short time, Lucio and Van Bitten want someone to do massages. Are they so tired?

   Although his physical attributes are not very high and he is very tired now, the young and strong Lu Wenbin did not feel like he was going to collapse.

   At this time, Lu Wenbin remembered that both Lucio and Van Bitten were 30 years old.

   And now, it is the end of the season.

   After more than half of the season, Bayern has firmly occupied the top position in the Bundesliga, but this position is not so easy to sit, and the players must be very tired.

   Then, in such a German Cup final, Bayern pressed the offensive for more than 70 minutes in the regular time, and the defense must also be advanced, which consumed a lot of money.

   Especially the Brazilian Lucio, who has always had an offensive heart, is also a veritable guard with a knife, not only responsible for defense, but also occasionally involved in offense.

The physical consumption in the regular 90 minutes was already a lot, and now it has been dragged into overtime by Hoffenheim’s stoppage time, which undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on these two 30-year-old veterans from physical to psychological. , Making them feel tired.

   Look at the 31-year-old Saniol. Although he is not sitting on the ground, he is also resting on his knees with his hands on his knees, bending over and closing his eyes, looking exhausted, and will collapse at any time.

   Lu Wenbin's inspiration flashed, three of the four Bayern defenders are veterans over 30 years old, can you make a fuss?

   Lu Wenbin quickly informed the head coach Ralph of his findings.

   After Ralph turned his head and glanced at Bayern, he appreciatively nodded to Lu Wenbin and expressed his approval.

   Then, Ralph recruited the players and quietly arranged the tactics for the second half of the overtime game.

   After a while, the referee greeted everyone for the game.

   After the start of the second half of the game, everyone discovered that Hoffenheim's offensive center of gravity was just off the beaten track.

   Salihović, Koppado, Eduardo, Ibisevic and others started to rush towards Saniol with a combination of passing and individual dribbling as long as they took the ball.

   After breaking through Sagnol, he continued to move into the penalty area and broke through Van Bitten or Lúcio.

   If it is during regular game time or early in the season, Sagnol, Van Bitten, and Lucio are the three top defenders, you would not be afraid of the opponents doing this.

   However, at this point in time, Hoffenheim's tactical change has caused Saniol's defense to become precarious.

   Saniol, Lucio, and Van Bitten have always passed the peak period of physical fitness, not comparable to young people in their 20s.

   Playing in the second half of overtime now, the three of them are really tired.

   Heathfield saw the danger and was ready to change at any time.

   However, in the 114th minute, when Heathfield was about to replace Ram and Demichelis, Hoffenheim's crazy breakthrough against Bayern's three defensive veterans finally achieved results.

   When Eduardo used consecutive spikes at the corner of the penalty area to smash Lucio into the penalty area, he was overthrown in the penalty area by the desperate Lucio.

   "Penalty kick——!"

   Salihovich, Ibishevich and others raised their hands and shouted, while rushing towards the place where the incident occurred.

   Bayern Munich’s other players naturally surrounded themselves, excitedly expressing to the referee that Lucio did not commit a foul, and Eduardo flopped and cheated the penalty.

   As a result, the referee's penalty was neither a penalty kick nor Eduardo's flop, but a foul on the line of Lucio's penalty area. The penalty result was a free kick in the corner of the penalty area.

   Both parties are dissatisfied with the penalty, but Bayern is relatively easy to accept ~www.ltnovel.com~ but Hoffenheim is not so calm.

   Eduardo flipped up from the ground and excitedly said to the referee that he was pushed by Lucio after entering the penalty area. This should be a foul in the penalty area and a penalty kick.

  Salihović and Ibisevic also surrounded the referee, trying to pressure the referee to change the penalty.

   If you get a penalty at this time, with Lu Wenbin's shooting skills, you will definitely score.

   However, since the referee has already made the sentence, no matter whether it is correct or not, it is impossible to change the sentence and slap himself in the face.

   Therefore, the protests of Salihovic and others not only failed in exchange for a penalty, but were also shown two yellow cards by the referee.

   Seeing this, Lu Wenbin hurried up and pulled the others away.

   If Salihović disputes with the referee and gets a direct red card, misses a free kick and is dragged into a penalty shoot-out, Hoffenheim will be even more difficult to win.

   After the teammates were pulled away by Lu Wenbin, the referee let them go, let Bayern line up the wall, and Hoffenheim was ready to kick a free kick.

   This free kick was naturally taken by the team's core and first free thrower Lu Wenbin.

   The free kick from the corner of the penalty area was a bit off. Lu Wenbin hadn't made a free kick before.

Of course, the main reason is that Lu Wenbin used his system skills on free kicks with better positions. He took the penalty for free kicks near the corner of the penalty area or gave it to his teammates. There is no record of goals in this position. It is not difficult to understand.

   But now, Bayern, who has been cautiously defending, finally revealed its flaws and gave Hoffenheim a free kick. Lu Wenbin must resist the pressure and take the penalty by himself.

   This is probably Hoffenheim’s last shot in overtime.
