Chapter 169: Consecutive Goals
Last season, after Lu Wenbin was promoted to the first team, Demba Ba, who happened to be injured, has been pressed on the bench and can only occasionally replace Lu Wenbin and Obasi, which is quite frustrating.
Now, the Nigerian Olympic team is performing well, and Obasi has not been able to return to the team in Beijing, giving Demba Ba some time.
Therefore, whether it is a friendly match or an official match, Demba Ba is quite desperate to sit in the main position before Obasi returns.
In the previous German Cup and the Bundesliga, Demba Ba did not score a goal or an assist, which made him quite anxious.
After the start of this game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Demba Ba got a good chance to be unguarded just six minutes into the game.
At that time, Borussia Mönchengladbach's two centre-backs were eyeing the more dangerous Lu Wenbin, allowing Demba Ba, who was running into the box, to get a gap.
Ibisevic passed the ball in time and gave Demba Ba a chance to shoot with his feet.
As a result, Demba Ba, who was a little anxious, shot too hard in the penalty area, and kicked the ball directly into the stands, causing a burst of laughter from those Borussia Mönchengladbach fans.
Lu Wenbin ran over and comforted Demba Ba, telling him not to worry, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Demba Ba nodded, walking back with a little depression.
After the game restarted, because of Demba Ba's kick, he still did not receive the attention of the Borussia Mönchenchen players, and they were still focusing on Lu Wenbin.
The defensive pressure faced by Demba Ba is much lower than that of Lu Wenbin.
In the 19th minute, Salihovic crossed after breaking through on the side, and Ibisevic's header was ferried to the feet of Lu Wenbin in the penalty area, causing a panic among the Menchen players in the penalty area.
Whether it was the double golden boot of the Bundesliga and the German Cup last season, or the hat-trick in the first round of the Bundesliga this season, Lu Wenbin became the most feared scorer in German football.
What's more, Menxing also personally learned Lu Wenbin's power.
In the 19th round of the Bundesliga last season, Hoffenheim played Borussia Mönchengladbach at home, and the two sides played 5-2 in a head-to-head battle, and Lu Wenbin scored twice in that game.
Now, Lu Wenbin, who has made rapid progress, has become even more terrifying than that game.
Therefore, as long as Lu Wenbin gets the ball, whether it is a defender or a goalkeeper, they are very nervous.
The goalkeeper moved to Lu Wenbin's side to block the angle of the shot, and the two Mönchen defenders Patrick and Baovis also rushed towards Lu Wenbin at the same time, and the other defender, Brak, also rushed to the ball path where Lu Wenbin could shoot, ready to block the gun's hole.
However, although Lu Wenbin wants to score more goals himself, he is not a lone ranger who has no sense of passing at all.
After all, he still has 11/11 vision and 13/13 passing.
In the moment before he received the ball and the Borussia Mönchen defenders surrounded him, Lu Wenbin found that it was difficult to shoot successfully, and Demba Ba, who rushed into the penalty area from the other side, was empty in front of him, in an open position.
So, Lu Wenbin unexpectedly did not shoot hard in the penalty area this time, but poked the ball in front of Demba Ba on the other side of the penalty area with a toe pass.
The ball rolled past Paulis's feet, and Baovis reflexively stretched his foot, but failed to touch the ball, and could only helplessly turn around and watch the ball roll into the space behind him.
Demba Ba was just routinely rushing into the penalty area, preparing to see if Lu Wenbin's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
As a result, I didn't expect Lu Wenbin, who shot nine out of ten in the penalty area, not to shoot this time, but passed the ball over.
Demba Ba was overjoyed, but he still remembered what Lu Wenbin told him not to be anxious before, first looked up at the goal, and then raised his foot and gently pushed the ball into the corner of the goal.
Although goalkeeper Jamerot pounced from the other side, this time Demba Ba's undisturbed calm push angle was too dead, and the ball grazed Jamerot's fingertips and drilled into the corner of the goal.
In the 19th minute of the game, Hoffenheim's No. 29 Demba Ba scored a goal, with an assist from No. 9 Lu Wenbin.
Demba Ba yelled, vented the excitement in his heart, and then turned around and rushed to Lu Wenbin, shouting at Lu Wenbin: "Lu, thank you!" ”
Lu Wenbin smiled: "No thanks, congratulations, you finally scored!" Let's do it and win the game! ”
Then, the rest of his teammates rushed up to celebrate the goal and congratulate Demba Ba.
More than 10,000 Hoffenheim fans applauded and cheered to celebrate Hoffenheim's lead.
After the restart, Borussia Mönchengladbach had to strengthen their defense against Demba Ba.
However, in this way, Lu Wenbin has more opportunities.
In the 39th minute, Eduardo shook down Borussia Mönchenchen defender Dames with a beautiful bicycle outside the penalty area, and then picked up his thigh to make a long-range shot.
The No. 6 defender Braque, who was originally guarding Lu Wenbin, was shocked, and after dropping Lu Wenbin, he rushed to the ball path where Eduardo shot, and made a move to block the gun's eye with his back.
Eduardo, however, faked the real pass.
When Braque dropped Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin ran two more steps sideways, and after opening the distance from Brakla, Eduardo's raised thigh fell lightly and passed the ball to the penalty area in front of Lu Wenbin.
By the time another defender rushed over, Lu Wenbin had already rushed into the penalty area to complete the action of shooting directly without stopping the ball.
The ball flickered precisely around the palm of Jamerot's hand and bounced off the inside post.
Hoffenheim led 2-0 and Lu scored his first home goal in the Bundesliga.
In an instant, the entire Carl Benz Stadium exploded.
The Hoffenheim fans, who had already been conquered by Lu Wenbin last season, stood up in an instant, shouting Lu Wenbin's name and screaming and cheering excitedly.
TV announcer Custer also roared in the commentary seat: "Another goal, another goal!" After scoring a hat-trick in the first Bundesliga, Lou scored again in the second Bundesliga game and had an assist! Will he score more than ten consecutive games like the Bundesliga and break Gerd Muller's record for consecutive goals? It's exciting to think about! ”
After Lu Wenbin and his teammates celebrated, the game resumed. Lu Wenbin naturally still wants to score, not for breaking any records, but for his rich experience in the Bundesliga.
However, the time of his goal was close to the end of the first half.
A few minutes after he scored, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
