Seven Crowns

Lu Wenbin's goal in the 36th minute gave Hoffenheim a sigh of relief from coaches to players to fans.

Although he hasn't won yet, Lu Wenbin's goal can prove that Bayern Munich's defense is not impervious.

As long as the offensive continues, Hoffenheim can win.

For Bayern Munich, it is now a bit difficult to choose.

Whether to continue to defend and prevent Hoffenheim from taking advantage of the situation to expand the score, or to strengthen the offense to score an away goal, the players on the field are a little uncertain.

At this time, it is up to the head coach to make a decision.

When the Hoffenheim players celebrated wildly, Van Gaal called Van Bommel to the sidelines to give an explanation, and Van Bommel conveyed the instructions of the head coach to all his teammates.

After the game restarted, Bayern Munich did not immediately counterattack, but first used the kick-off right to attack. After not scoring a goal, they immediately retracted and continued to defend firmly.

Hoffenheim, who had just scored a goal, boosted his morale. After grabbing the ball, he all pressed on the offense, but failed to break through the Bayern defense line that had been prepared.

Van Gaal's instructions allowed all Bayern players to unify their minds, and Hoffenheim did not take the opportunity to score and expand the score.

The two sides fell into a stalemate again.

Until the end of the first half, neither side scored any more goals.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-0.

During the intermission, Ralph ordered the team to strengthen the offensive in the second half, play more long shots, more bottom passes, and more use of set-pieces to score goals.

These are the only tricks to break dense defense.

But Ralph also reminded the players that to allow everyone to increase their running range, they must be wary of Bayern Munich's counterattack.

Because now the total score of the two sides is 1-1, and Hoffenheim has lost the opportunity to score away goals.

Bayern Munich will lead Hoffenheim in the number of away goals as long as they score one goal, and Hoffenheim will have to score two goals to eliminate each other.

Therefore, even if you cannot score a goal, you must be alert to the opponent's attack and not let Bayern Munich succeed in a sneak attack.

Sure enough, after the start of the second half, although Bayern Munich is still playing defensive counterattacks, the number and intensity of counterattacks have increased a lot.

Obviously, Bayern Munich wanted to score and eliminated Hoffenheim with an away goal.

Fortunately, Ralph had already ordered that Hoffenheim players focused their attention on Bayern Munich's counterattack as soon as they came on the field, firmly holding the position, and did not let Bayern Munich's offense succeed.

The same goes for Hoffenheim. When they want to attack, Bayern Munich has all returned to their half-court.

Even Thomas Muller returned to his own half, interfering with Hoffenheim's passing organization and attacking rhythm.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation of the game, Hoffenheim, who is always on the offensive, has the initiative, and Bayern Munich, who plays defensive counterattacks, is more passive.

After scoring the first goal to equalize the total score, Hoffenheim’s players became more psychologically stable and self-confident. Long shots and bottom crosses became more determined.

Of course, when the long-range shot fails and the fight for the top fails, it is when Bayern Munich fights back.

Schweinsteiger's passing organization, Ribery and Robben's flanks flying together, Thomas Muller's competition for the top of the penalty area, all pose a big threat to Hoffenheim's defense.

Fortunately, because of the existence of Lu Wenbin, Bayern has never dared to overpower it.

Therefore, Bayern has not invested much in each counterattack. In addition, Hoffenheim's defensive line is very focused, so Bayern has not been able to counterattack successfully.

The two sides held the 1-0 stalemate until the 85th minute, and it was less than 10 minutes before the end of the game.

If the 90 minutes of the game ends with this score, the total score of both sides is 1-1, and the away goals are 0, then it will be about to enter overtime.

At this moment, Lu Wenbin got the ball in the middle of the frontcourt and began to break through with the ball by himself.

He first passed Van Bommel with a bull's tail, and then a Marseille maneuver prepared to pass Van Bitten into the penalty area.

As a result, the Marseille maneuver had just been completed, and before speeding up to the penalty area, Van Bitten, who was passed by Lu Wenbin, grabbed Lu Wenbin with his backhand and directly pulled Lu Wenbin to the ground.

In the first round of the Champions League semi-final, and the last league match, Van Buyten in this game was too tired to run.

He didn't want to be broken into the penalty zone by Lu Wenbin, so he subconsciously stretched out his hands like defending other players and knocked Lu Wenbin down.

After he saw Lu Wenbin lying on the ground, he realized that this position was too dangerous.

But this is the end of the matter, and I can only pray that Lu Wenbin's free kick will not be penalized as before.

The referee's whistle sounded and Lu Wenbin caused a foul by Van Bitten through his dribbling breakthrough, and obtained a direct free kick from the front left of the penalty area, about 22 meters from the goal.

The fans of Hoffenheim became excited.

Although Lu Wenbin did not score in the previous free kicks, either missed the goal or was saved by Bout, but no one dared to despise Lu Wenbin's free kick.

Now less than 10 minutes before the end of the game, if Lu Wenbin scored this ball, it would be a lore.

With so little time left, there was a league match between the two Champions League semi-finals, and Bayern Munich, whose physical energy consumption was much larger than Hoffenheim, would be more difficult to fight back against Hoffenheim.

Therefore, this ball made both players and fans quite nervous.

Bayern goalkeeper Bout kept directing the wall, while Hoffenheim players kept squeezing around in the wall, destroying Bayern’s wall formation, and was warned by the referee running over.

It took more than half a minute for the wall to line up, but there were also a few Hoffenheim players standing inside.

Bout stood at the far end of the goal ~www.ltnovel.com~ and was ready to save.

Because Lu Wenbin's free kicks mostly hit the near corners, although Bout is standing at the far end, his body's center of gravity remains ready to rush to the near end at any time.

He also thought that before Lu Wenbin's foot touched the ball, he would start to move closer.

Lu Wenbin stood behind the ball and looked at Bout's position and posture. He felt that Bout might predict the near end in advance.

Earlier, Lu Wenbin had a free kick within the goal frame which was prejudged by Bout and moved ahead to save it.

Therefore, this time Lu Wenbin felt that he could do the opposite and hit the far corner once.

The wall is blocking the near corner. On the far corner, on the right edge of the wall is Eduardo, who just blocked the straight line from Lu Wenbin's ball to the far corner.

Therefore, after the referee blew the whistle for free throws, Lu Wenbin and Eduardo looked at each other before starting to bow their heads for a run-up.
