Lu Wenbin celebrated with fans and teammates for a while after scoring in the 83rd minute before returning to the pitch with the intervention of the referee.

After the restart, both sides became extremely cautious.

At this point, there are only a few minutes left before the end of regular time, and whoever scores a goal could end the game.

But if anyone concedes a goal, they may just say goodbye to the League Cup.

As a result, everyone became very cautious and did not dare to give their opponents any chance.

And Lu Wenbin was almost unable to run, and in the end he didn't get any chance to shoot.

It didn't take long for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the regular game.

Hoffenheim and Udinese drew 3-3 in regulation time over the two legs of the third round of qualifying for the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup, with both sides scoring equally away goals.

Therefore, the game had to go to extra time.

The referee gave everyone a few minutes to rest.

After walking to the sidelines, Hoffenheim and the others could still hold on, only Lu Wenbin looked like he was about to fall down at any time, and the team doctor hurriedly asked him to lie on the grass and give him a leg massage.

Coach Ralph asked worriedly, "Lu, can you still hold on?" ”

It's not that Ralph doesn't want to change Lu Wenbin down, but the current game situation, Lu Wenbin has to stay on the court as much as possible.

As long as Lu Wenbin is on the field, even if he is walking on the field, he can involve most of the energy of the Udinese backline.

Once Lu Wenbin is off, the Udinese backline can press on the counter-attack, which is more dangerous for Hoffenheim's goal.

Of course, if Lu Wenbin really can't hold on, Ralph won't really let him stay on the court, so there is this question.

Lu Wenbin gasped and nodded, "I'm fine, coach." If I can't hold on, I'll call you! ”

Ralph nodded, and then began to hurry up and assign the team tasks for overtime.

Under UEFA's extra-time rule that goals are also scored away, Hoffenheim now need to score just one more goal to almost kill the game.

So, no matter how difficult it is, Ralph wants to settle the fight in overtime.

Because the penalty shootout is too test of luck and unreliable.

What's more, as a goalkeeper, Handanovic's strength is stronger than Ozjan, and Ralph doesn't want to play a penalty shootout.

Hoffenheim had to try to settle the battle in extra time.

Lu Wenbin's physical condition, it may be difficult for him to run as widely as he did in regular game time to catch the ball and shoot and create sports goals.

But Lu Wenbin's threat is still very large, as long as he is on the field, the Udinese players must focus on defending Lu Wenbin and cannot relax for a moment.

In this way, the pressure on the Hoffenheim goal is much less.

And Lu Wenbin also has a good free kick technique. Sometimes, set-pieces can also be a weapon to upset the balance of the game.

Therefore, Ralph asked the others to break through and shoot more, on the one hand, to see if they could score. If you can't score, see if you can make the opponent's foul and create a free kick opportunity for Lu Wenbin.

At the same time, Ralph's reminder to the back line is also indispensable, and Ralph told everyone in the back line to cheer up.

No matter how tired you are, you have to hold on until the end of the game, and you can't relax for a moment.

After resting for a few minutes, Lu Wenbin, who had been massaged by the team doctor, stood up again and played with his teammates.

In a Wednesday game, this one also went to extra time, and it was true that the physical exertion of both sides was very high.

Therefore, after entering overtime, not only Lu Wenbin is like a walk, but the running of other players on both sides is also decreasing, and the mistakes when passing and receiving the ball are increasing.

However, people's ability to grasp opportunities is also declining.

In the 97th minute of extra time, Salihovic had a great chance to shoot from the penalty zone.

As a result, his shot looked weak, and Handanovic was easily held in his arms, much to the pity of Hoffenheim fans.

Conversely, in the 104th minute, when the first half of extra time was about to end, Udinese's No. 10 striker Di Natale also had a good chance to counter-attack.

Perhaps too tired, he moved out of shape when he entered the forbidden zone, making the ball a little bigger, and then the quick-eyed Ozcan pounced on the ball in his arms.

Di Natale missed a one-on-one chance to leave Udinese's home stands sighing.

Then the first half of extra time ended, and the two sides took a short break, and then changed sides to fight again.

It looked like the second half of extra time wasn't much different from the first.

However, just when everyone thought the game was going to go to a penalty shootout with an aggregate score of 3-3, in the 108th minute, Eduardo was riding a bicycle on the left side of Udinese's big forbidden area, and was tripped by Udinese's defender Domizi's outstretched leg and fell to the ground.

Hoffenheim won a free-kick, but the angle was off, and it was Lu Wenbin who took the penalty.

Lu Wenbin looked at his free kick system skills, the cooldown time has not yet arrived, and he can only take the penalty himself.

However, if he took the penalty himself, he was not very sure about the free kick in front of the goal, let alone a free kick from such a different angle.

However, when he saw Handanovic nervously directing his teammates to line up the wall at the near end, Lu Wenbin remembered that he had scored more than 10 free kicks in the professional league.

Although he has not scored a free kick in recent games, it is clear that the opponent knows how good he is, which is why Handanovic is so nervous.

And all the free kicks in front of him were scored into the upper corner of the goal by going around the human wall in an arc from the air.

This time there is no systematic skill and no certainty, so can you do the opposite and hit them under their feet?

Perhaps, the players of Udinese will think that they will hit them on the top of the head like before, and then they will all jump, and then the soles of their feet will be empty?

The more he thought about it, the more opportunities Lu Wenbin felt.

Anyway, he takes the penalty himself, and with such a biased angle, he has to bypass the human wall, and the probability of scoring goals is quite low.

But if he can pass under the foot of the wall without arcing, then his 20/20 shot will definitely be scored as long as he aims at the corner of the goal.

It's a bit of a stroke of luck, but it's also about luck on the football field. If the opponent's wall really jumps up, then Lu Wenbin will be able to score a goal to form a lore.

After making a decision, Lu Wenbin stood in front of the ball, waiting for the referee's whistle, and looked at the top corner of the goal from time to time, so that the Udinese players thought that Lu Wenbin was going to play the upper corner.

After a while, after the referee blew the whistle that he could take a free throw, Lu Wenbin ran in a few steps and then kicked the football.

At the same time, Udinese's human wall also jumped up neatly, with the intention of seeing if it could withstand the free kick sent by Lu Wenbin and destroy the out-of-bounds.

However, when they all jumped up, they found that the ball played by Lu Wenbin did not fly, but flew towards their feet against the turf.

Everyone was shocked, but the Udinese players, who were already in the air, couldn't stop the ball.

The ball flew from the feet of jumping centre-back Andre Koda and into the near corner of the net under the desperate gaze of all Udinese.

Handanovic pounced from the far end but couldn't stop Lu Wenbin's unexpected shot and goal.
