Seven Crowns

With so many fans coming, the team naturally cannot lose its momentum and let their supporters be laughed at by local fans in Udine.

　　 Therefore, at the pre-match press conference in the afternoon after arriving in Udine, Ralph strongly announced that Hoffenheim was here to create the 5% miracle and to come back.

　　 It must be Hoffenheim, not Udinese, to advance to the UEFA Cup group stage this season.

　　 Ralph’s declaration was naturally sneered by the Italian media, ironically as a dead duck with a hard mouth.

　　 Even though the German media will not dismantle their own team in front of foreigners, the unbelief in their eyes is obvious.

　　If Hoffenheim is eliminated in the end, it proves that Ralph's words are really hard-headed, then not only the Italian media, but also the German media will definitely attack Ralph and Hoffenheim.

　　 When a reporter relayed Ralph’s declaration to Udinese coach Marino, Marino smiled indifferently and said:

　　 "Ralph is just cheering himself up! The final result of the game will tell him that this is Italy and this is Udinese!"

　　 Obviously, Marino's response is more domineering and more in line with everyone's prediction of the game.

　　 "This is Italy, this is Udinese!"

　　 In a few words, the confidence of the Marino and Udinese clubs was exhausted.

　　 They are also qualified to be confident.

　　 Not only did historical statistics give them confidence, they also had confidence in their defense.

　　 Even if Lu Wenbin scored twice in 45 minutes in the last round of the Bundesliga, and his running range has greatly increased, the Italians don’t think that Lu Wenbin’s ability has become stronger and he can break away from the Italian-style chain defense and zone defense.

　　 They will only confidently believe that the overall defensive ability of the Bundesliga is not good, and Dortmund's tradition is not to play defense.

　　 Lu Wenbin’s goal in the Bundesliga is nothing at all, just like he scored in the previous league rounds.

　　 In this game, they will continue to use Italian defense to prove to everyone that Lu Wenbin is a top scorer in the Bundesliga, but in Europe: No!

　　 On the evening of September 24, before the start of the game, Hoffenheim returned to the dressing room to put on the official jersey after warming up before the game and was ready to play.

　　 At this time, the captain Salihovic stood up and motioned for him to have something to say.

　　 Everyone fell silent and listened to Salihovich's speech.

　　Salihović looked around for a week and asked everyone: "Did you see the more than 2,000 Hoffenheim fans who were assigned to the corners just now when you warmed up?"

　　 Lu Wenbin and others nodded and replied: "I saw it!"

　　 Salihović nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it too! We all saw it!"

　　 "I hope everyone understands how we were looked down upon by all the media before the game. Including our own domestic media, we all think that we, who represent Germany, are dead."

　　 "Except for Sinsheim’s media, no one encouraged us, and no one encouraged us to perform a miracle in the second round and defeat Udinese to advance to the group stage."

"Under this situation, there are so many fans who come with the team to cheer for us while knowing that the chance of promotion is very small. It is really very rare, especially for us from the village of Hoffenheim. As far as the country club is concerned."

　　 "If we lose this game, not only will we become the real laughing stock, but the fans who come with the team will also become the subject of jokes from other team fans."

"But if we win today and eliminate Udinese and advance to the UEFA Cup group stage, not only will we be able to face those media who did not favor us before the game, but also allow these lovely fans to walk out of the court with their heads up and back. To Germany."

　　 "I hope that everyone on the team will do their best to win today without thinking about the next round of Bundesliga."

　　 "Even if you get tired, you have to get down after you finish defending, passing or shooting. Let us use practical actions to prove to everyone that Hoffenheim can perform miracles and eliminate Udinese!"

　　 The captain's words made everyone excited. They gathered together and shouted the slogan "Create a miracle, eliminate Udinese", and then walked out of the locker room with their heads high and waited for admission.

　　 In the player channel, Udinese players looked at the Hoffenheim players with their heads up and their chests upright, but they thought they were too nervous and laughed in their hearts.

　　 Udinese’s player mentality is very relaxed.

　　 can play Hoffenheim 2-1 in the away game, can Hoffenheim fail at home?

　　Historical facts have already told everyone that the probability of that is very small. Anyway, Udinese players do not believe that Hoffenheim can make a comeback.

　　 At around 19:50, the referee team played with 11 starting players from the two teams.

After taking a group photo, shaking hands, and picking the sides, at 20 o'clock in the evening on September 24, with the referee's whistle, the second round of the UEFA Cup third round qualifying round of the 2008/2009 season Udinese vs. Hoffenheim The game officially started.

　　 In this game, the starting personnel of both sides are exactly the same as the previous one, and even their positions have not changed.

　　 Everyone thought that Lu Wenbin would withdraw to the midfield like the latter half of the last game, so he could get some chances to take the ball and shoot.

　　 Unexpectedly, Lu Wenbin's position is still on the forward line.

　　 This makes Udinese's coaches and players more at ease.

Lu Wenbin, who plays as a winger at the forward line, has a much shorter receiving route than the midfielder. Udinese’s players are also easier to defend. Everyone is more confident to intercept the ball passed by Hoffenheim’s players to Lu Wenbin. No Give him a chance to take the ball and shoot. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

However, when the game lasted for 10 minutes, both the Udinese players on the field, the Udinese coach Marino on the sidelines, and even the Italian commentators and Udinese fans in the stands were a little surprised. Up.

　　Because Udinese's back line, who adopted the same defensive strategy as the last game, failed to defend Lu Wenbin this time.

　　 In just 10 minutes, Lu Wenbin received two shots, one of which resulted in a shot, only to be thrown out by the fast-reacting goalkeeper Handanovic.

　　 However, such a phenomenon is abnormal.

　　 Referring to the first round of the match between the two sides, Lu Wenbin shouldn't have received the ball so quickly, and it was twice, and once again formed a shot.

How is this going?

　　 The Udinese players on the field did not consciously relax their vigilance. They implemented the same defensive method as the first round, and they implemented it 100% without any release.

　　 Although they are relaxed and confident, it does not mean that they will relax their vigilance against Lu Wenbin, who scored a goal in the first round and scored twice in the Bundesliga.

　　 Under such a concentrated defense, Lu Wenbin, who had almost no play in the first half of the first round, now received two goals within 10 minutes and once formed a shot opportunity. This is abnormal.

　　 However, because the time is too short, everyone has not figured out what happened, including Udinese's coach Marino.

　　Marino was going to observe for a while to see what caused his team to fail to guard Lu Wenbin, and then make corresponding adjustments.
