Before the start of the game, the two teams returned to the locker room after warming up.

In the visiting dressing room, Werder Bremen manager Schaaf is giving his final words to the backline.

After the last round of the league, the media hyped Lu Wenbin about breaking Gerd Muller's record of 40 goals.

Before the start of this game, the media was hyping that Lu Wenbin was about to break the record of 67 goals in a single season in the five major leagues.

Not only Germany, not only Europe, but also many journalists from Asia, America, Africa, and Oceania countries came to this game, which can be said to be the attention of the whole world.

The miracle of Huocun and the super performance of Lu Wenbin have attracted strong attention from all over the world.

Countless people are looking forward to the 18-year-old Lu Wenbin's game breaking the personal single-season total goal record in the five major leagues and shocking the football world.

No one cares if Werder Bremen have a chance to make it from the side, except for their own supporters.

Therefore, in the past few days, Werder Bremen, from the head coach to the players, has been holding their breath.

They can beat Bayern Munich 5-2 at the Allianz Arena, can't they win at the Rhein Neckar Arena and advance?

Everyone admits that Lu Wenbin is very good, but Hoffenheim's team is not so rebellious, and Hoffenheim still has draws and defeats this season.

After Ibisevic and Nelsson were seriously injured and suspended, coupled with the two-man marking tactics that Lu Wenbin was first used by Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim should be much weaker than in the first half of the season.

Even if Lu Wenbin makes rapid progress and his strength improves quickly, it should not be able to make up for the decline in the strength of the entire Hoffenheim team.

As long as Lu Wenbin is restricted, the goal scoring ability of other Hoffenheim players is too far behind Lu Wenbin, and Werder Bremen may not have the possibility of an away comeback.

After all, they were drawn at home, not lost. A narrow win away from home would give them an aggregate lead to advance.

As for whether the much-anticipated Lu Wenbin can draw a record and break the record, it's their business?

Moreover, Schaff believes that the more everyone pays attention, the more Lu Wenbin and the whole Hoffenheim team may care about this matter, and they may do their best to assist Lu Wenbin in the game and let Lu Wenbin score a record.

Lu Wenbin may also be more lonely, he will not pass the ball easily after getting it, and even if it is difficult, he will force his feet to shoot and try to score.

Since Bayern Munich pioneered the tactic of double-man marking Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin's goalscoring ability has indeed been limited a little, but it is not enough.

Lu Wenbin's goalscoring efficiency in the second half of the season is still terrifyingly high.

Schaff felt he could go further.

Therefore, in this second-leg away game, Schaaf not only sent captain Bowman and central defender Pledel to closely mark Lu Wenbin, not to relax for a moment, but also arranged the back line to assist in the defense.

When Lu Wenbin is on the left, he assists Bowman and Pledel at left-back, right-back assists on the right, another centre-back assists in the middle, and two forward-backs assist in midfield.

Anyway, Lu Wenbin can't be allowed to shoot easily, and even if he shoots, he will do his best to interfere with him and make him lose his crosshairs.

This will definitely give other Hoffenheim players a chance to get a gap, but Schaaf can't take care of it, as long as he can limit Lu Wenbin.

All that's left is the number of goals scored by Werder Bremen's attacking line and Hoffenheim's other attacking players.

After one last admonition, the staff came to call everyone in.

After the entrance ceremony, group photos, edge picking and other procedures, at 20 o'clock in the evening of April 15, the second leg of the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup 1/4 finals Hoffenheim home vs Werder Bremen officially began.

With two away goals in hand, Hoffenheim naturally put out a more defensive 442 tactic in this game, and put on two midfielders Gustavo and Volsa to protect the backline.

The two forwards are Salihovic and Eduardo, and the forwards are Lu Wenbin and Puljic.

This is also the reason why Schaff dared to let the team concentrate on Lu Wenbin alone, because Hoffenheim's attacking manpower in front of him was not very strong.

Lu Wenbin, who has increased his pace, has increased his fitness stats to 18/18 and is fully recovering from his health, is a good runner, and he shook off Bowman and Pleddell's close markers with a sudden change of direction in the sixth minute to gain a brief gap on the right side of the big no-go.

Eduardo, who cooperated tacitly, passed the ball over at the right time, and Lu Wenbin stopped the ball in the forbidden area and immediately kicked the goal.

However, at this time, left-back Bernisch, who was on the right side of the front field for Hoffenheim and on the left side of the backfield for Bremen, appeared on the flank of Lu Wenbin.

Bernisch, who didn't have time to defend, flew to tackle, and the ball shot by Lu Wenbin just hit Bernisch's leg and bounced off the bottom line.

Lu Wenbin's shot was ruined.

Schaaf watched from the sidelines and secretly clenched his fists, feeling that his tactics were right.

However, the goal did not alert Lu Wenbin and head coach Ralph.

Even before, Lu Wenbin didn't score every shot, and he didn't just get rid of the players who were marking him, and everyone else watched him shoot and was indifferent.

It is normal for people who are close to each other to come over to defend, tackle, block guns, etc., and neither Lu Wenbin nor head coach Ralph thought that Bremen deliberately added a third person to help defend Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin, who just added attributes and wanted to break the record, continued to compete with high morale.

The corner was not picked up by the Hoffenheim players and was cleared by Bremen, but instead launched a counter-attack.

Fortunately, when the attack hit Hoffenheim's backfield, it was intercepted by the double back Gustavo and Volsa.

Ten minutes later, Lu Wenbin shook off Bowman and Pledel again and got a chance to shoot with his feet, but was hit by a rush by right-back Naldo, who rushed diagonally, and naturally kicked the ball away.

Even if Lu Wenbin's physique is increased to 18/18, it is not as stable as Mount Tai.

What's more, as a defender, Naldo's physique is not bad, and he is as high as 195cm, and it is natural that Lu Wenbin can't stand on his feet under the deliberate collision.

In addition to the destruction of these two shots, Lu Wenbin also ran out of a gap in the 19th minute to receive a pass from Salihovic, but the ball was suddenly intercepted by central defender Mertesacker before he could touch it.

After 20 minutes, Lu Wenbin has not had a single threatening shot from within the woodwork.

Lu Wenbin felt a little awkward.

Lu Wenbin, who added physique and speed before the game, should have all his strength improved, and his physical fitness should have returned to full value, so he should have more opportunities, why didn't he even have a threatening shot within the goal frame?

However, Lu Wenbin just felt unhappy, but he didn't expect the opponent's targeted tactics to go up.
