On February 18, 2009, the entire Hoffenheim team flew to Poland to prepare for the match against Lekpusner in the Polish Super League.

At 6 p.m. on February 19, the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup 1/16 final Hoffenheim away to Lekpussner officially began.

In order to ensure the safety of the backline, Ralph still sent a 442 balanced formation in this game, and it was not a diamond-shaped position, but a parallel position.

In front of Comper, Gustavo and Volsa both started to protect him, and the other two defenders in midfield were Salihovic and Eduardo on each side, and Lu Wenbin partnered with central striker Paldjic in the forward line.

After a few days of adaptation and the help of two midfielders, Compel was much better at the back than in the last game.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that Lecpuzner is not as strong as Bayer Leverkusen.

Even so, Compel is the weakest link in Hoffenheim's backline and a weakness in the opponent's key attack.

Overall, Hoffenheim's backline is not as solid as it was in the first half of the season, and even against teams in the Polish league, it is still easy to concede goals.

The attacking line in the front court has also decreased a lot because of Ibisevic's absence and change of formation, the reduction of the number of attackers, and the decline of tacit understanding.

In the 9th minute, Palgic got a pass from Salihovic on the left side of the front, and Lu Wenbin stepped forward at the right time to try to receive Paljic's pass from an offside position.

As a result, Palgic didn't think of going with Lu Wenbin, and reacted a step slower.

By the time he reacted and stuffed the ball straight in front of Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin was already offside and missed a chance to shoot.

In the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin received a wonderful pass from Eduardo in the forbidden area and hit the goal with his feet, but the opponent's goalkeeper played bravely and saved the shot from the bottom line.

Hoffenheim's corner didn't pose any threat and was cleared by the opposition defenders.

After a continuous attack, Hoffenheim finally scored in the 22nd minute.

Lu Wenbin, who was closely marked by the opponent's two, received a pass from Salihovic at the front of the big ban zone and dribbled a shot, not forcing a shot, but faked a real pass to Eduardo, who was inserted in the back row.

Eduardo met the ball with a furious shot and slotted it into the back of the net as Hoffenheim took a 1-0 lead at Lekpusna and scored an away goal.

However, Lekpusna, who play at home and sit top of the Polish Premier League table, is not a soft persimmon either, and they also want to win and advance to the round of 16.

Through the constant attack on this weakness of Comper, in the 33rd minute, Lekpusna scored the equaliser through their No. 8 striker Duleski, and the score was 1-1.

Subsequently, the two sides were in a state of scorching.

Lu Wenbin had a few shots on goal but failed to score under the interference of the opponent's close marking, and Lekpusner was also a little unlucky, and several shots failed to break through Hoffenheim's goal, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 1-1.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 48th minute, Salihovic's inward shot after breaking down the wing hit the crossbar, causing a chorus of exclamations from the Lekpusna home fans in the stands.

In the 56th minute, Lekpusna won a corner, and central defender Kigut jumped high to grab the first header, but Ozcan was lucky and stood just right, and directly shot Kigut's close-range header out, and then was cleared by Comper's big foot, causing a sigh from the home fans.

The two sides have come and gone, and Hoffenheim, despite the reduction in the number of attackers, has not diminished the style of attacking football.

And Lekepensner, who is playing at home, will not shrink the defense in the face of Hoffenheim, which has holes in the backline, and the offensive battle between the two sides is also wonderful.

In the 67th minute, Lu Wenbin was about to shoot from a distance after receiving the ball outside the forbidden area, but he was pushed down from behind by the opposing defender Tajives who was marking him, and was awarded a free kick by the referee.

Lu Wenbin, who had already used up his system skills in the first half, took the penalty himself this time, but he was lucky, and kicked the ball into the corner of the goal with a standard arc shot.

The goalkeeper couldn't save and could only watch the ball go into the net.

However, Leek Posner, who knew that the second leg was unlucky and could only hope for a home win, did not give up and continued to attack Hoffenheim, who were shaky at the back.

Finally, just over 10 minutes later, in the 82nd minute, Lehpuzner's attack paid off, as their midfielder Muroski scored a long-range goal to level the score at 2-2 again.

With stoppage time, there were only about 10 minutes left until the end of the game.

The result of the draw is acceptable for Hoffenheim's head coach Ralph, after all, it is an away game with a shortage of soldiers, and it is clear that Hoffenheim have earned a draw and 2 away goals.

However, Lu Wenbin will not give up on the pursuit of victory.

He won't get the winning prize because of the draw, and the winning prize in the League Cup is 80,000, and he has 4 games in the Bundesliga.

For Lu Wenbin, at a time when upgrading is becoming more and more difficult, every victory in the League Cup is precious.

What's more, if you win away from home, then the second leg at home will be much easier.

Therefore, even if there are only 10 minutes left, Lu Wenbin will not stop attacking, and he will also beckon his teammates to continue attacking.

Lu Wenbin's own achievements are now highly prestigious in the team, and with his own leader aura, he has a great influence on his teammates.

Therefore, under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, Hoffenheim went on the offensive.

And Lekeposner, who is playing at home, will naturally not shrink their defense, and they also want to win.

If they don't win at home, then there is little hope of going to the second leg away.

In the last 10 minutes, the two teams that wanted to score goals and win continued to play attacking football, depending on which side scored first.

In the 85th minute, Lekpusner had a shot that hit the forbidden area on the post, scaring Lu Wenbin's teammates and hundreds of away fans in the stands who traveled with the team into a cold sweat.

But Lu Wenbin didn't care so much, he continued to beckon everyone to attack.

Finally, in the 89th minute, Salihovic broke through the side and crossed the bottom, and Paldjic grabbed the first point to shake the header on goal.

The goal was saved by Lekpusner's goalkeeper Durina.

Just when the home fans and players were breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Wenbin appeared like a ghost in front of the ball in the forbidden area, stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball into the empty goal where the goalkeeper had fallen to the ground.

Lu Wenbin's 19/19 running without the ball, even if two people are closely marked, there are still times when he is negligent and he finds an opportunity.

This time, Lu Wenbin relied on his own feeling to find the first landing point of the ball saved by the goalkeeper, and rushed to complete the shot and score.
