Chapter 375: Reversal Lore
At the Olympic Sports Centre in Berlin, Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich were deadlocked in the German Cup final until the 65th minute, with neither side yet to score a second time.
But in the 66th minute, Robben burst into Hoffenheim's forbidden area and fell, almost causing a clash between the players of both sides.
Because the referee awarded Jankel a foul and awarded Bayern Munich a penalty. But Yankel didn't think he had touched Robben at all, and Robben was diving and faked a penalty.
The two sides surrounded the referee and insisted that Robben was brought down by a foul by Jankel, but Hoffenheim thought that Jankel had not committed a foul.
In the end, the referee insisted on his opinion, and also showed a yellow card to warn the excited Hoffenheim captain Salihovic, and without the video assistant referee to assist, Hoffenheim could only accept the penalty with embarrassment.
Robben securely deceived Ozcan and converted the penalty as Robben scored twice to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 lead.
Amid the excited celebrations of the Bayern players' fans, the Hoffenheim players looked a little annoyed and angry.
Lu Wenbin clapped his hands and shouted: "Don't be discouraged, we haven't lost yet!" They score a penalty and we can score two of them, think about how we have beaten Bayern so many times in the past two years! ”
Encouraged by Lu Wenbin, the Hoffenheim players regained a little morale.
Indeed, since Hoffenheim met for the first time in the 2007/2008 German Cup final, Hoffenheim have won more than they lost against Bayern Munich.
This season, Bayern Munich has changed its head coach, brought in new stars, and its strength and technical and tactical level have increased, but Hoffenheim has not stood still.
The players cooperate more tacitly, Lu Wenbin is stronger, and Hoffenheim does not need to give up because the score is behind.
After all, it's only 60 minutes now, and there are still more than 20 minutes to go.
Hoffenheim fans in the stands also shouted "Hoffenheim come on" to cheer on the lagging team.
After the game restarted, Bayern Munich defended more firmly and steadily, and even fouls in the danger area were rare, and it was easy not to give Lu Wenbin a threatening free kick.
Usually when Lu Wenbin is dribbling the ball, two or three people surround Lu Wenbin and force him to lose control of the ball and grab the ball.
But the qualities that Lu Wenbin needs to be a striker are really good, and his range of activities is quite large, not limited to the middle.
In the 82nd minute, Lu Wenbin faced Ram's defense when he broke through to the bottom line with the ball on the side, and suddenly used a stunning rainbow pass past Ram.
In the exclamation and screams of the fans, Lu Wenbin used his slightly faster speed to grab the ball before Contento, who wanted to destroy, poked the ball forward a little, and then jumped up to avoid Contento's tackle and entered the forbidden zone.
At this time, goalkeeper Bout had already blocked the near corner, and Van Bitten in the middle also made up for it, and Lu Wenbin wanted to shoot at a very small angle, almost zero.
Lu Wenbin also did not plan to shoot himself.
His breakthrough on the wing has attracted the defense of Lahm, Contento, and Van Bitten, and there are also Ibisevic and Demba Ba in the middle to attract the attention of other defenders.
Lu Wenbin did not hesitate, after dodging Contento's tackle, he passed the ball to the top of the arc in the inverted third 'corner' of the forbidden area, and Van Bitten, who came from the defense, stretched out a kick, but did not touch the ball.
Lu Wenbin's bocce ball rolled through the forbidden area to the top of the arc of the forbidden area, and Gustavo, who rushed up, did not stop the ball, and directly used all his strength to make an earth-shattering world wave.
The ball flew like a cannonball through the no-go zone and into the goal on the other side.
When he saw Lu Wenbin pass the ball out, Bout had already rushed back to the middle. But Gustavo's shot was too fast and too powerful, and Bout couldn't save it in the end.
Suddenly, the Hoffenheim fans in the stadium were boiling.
Hoffenheim equalized with Lu Wenbin's assist for Gustavo's goal, and the two sides were 2-2.
Robben's penalty was finally chased back by Hoffenheim.
Suddenly, the morale of the whole Hoffenheim team was greatly boosted and the confidence of victory was restored.
Next, after the game restarted, although Bayern Munich wanted to score another goal to kill the game in 90 minutes, Gustavo, the defender who rarely scored a goal, was quite excited, and repeatedly disrupted Bayern Munich's interceptions in the midfield, so that the opponent's attack failed or was forced to slow down the advance.
The other Hoffenheim players also rallied to block Bayern Munich's attacks from other directions.
However, Hoffenheim were unable to score again.
After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the 90 minutes, and Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich drew 2-2 in 90 minutes of regular time at the Olympic Sports Center in Berlin, forcing the two sides to go into extra time.
After a short break, overtime began.
At this time, Hoffenheim's advantage of securing the league title a few rounds in advance, and Bayern Munich's disadvantage of competing with Schalke 04 for second place in the league until the final round were all apparent.
In fact, both teams have been playing on the third line this season, with Bayern Munich having a much better mix of players than Hoffenheim in all other positions except for Lu Wenbin.
But they don't have a super striker like Lu Wenbin, so the three fronts are more difficult to advance, the Champions League semi-finals and Hoffenheim fought for two rounds but were eliminated, and the league did not finish until the final round because of the goal difference to get the second place.
As a result, Hoffenheim's fitness was significantly better than Bayern Munich's after extra-time, even if Van Gaal failed to make up for their physical disadvantage by making two substitutions.
In the first half of extra time, Bayern Munich could barely keep up, but in the second half, it was completely bad, and some Bayern players even ran to cramps.
In the 114th minute of extra time, Bayern Munich played a counter-attack, but Gustavo intercepted it halfway through and then handed the ball to Beck.
Baker broke through on the wing, and Bayern full-back Demichelis couldn't keep up with Beck's speed.
Beck managed to break through Demichelis and then sent in a low cross, but the Bayern Munich players were not quite in place: they were too tired to get back in place in a short period of time.
Ibisevic grabbed the attention of two centre-backs in the middle of the first spot, and then he grabbed the first point without flicking his header and instead headed the ball into the space to the right of the big no-go.
Lu Wenbin used his excellent off-the-ball running to predict the landing point, rushed to the ball before the struggling Van Bommel and volleyed directly without stopping the ball, and the ball passed through the forbidden area like a sharp arrow and hung straight to the goal.
The ball hit the post and into the net, but goalkeeper Bout couldn't save it, so he could only watch the ball go into the net.
