Chapter 308: Intentionally Hurting People
After the seventh round of the Bundesliga, on September 29, the Hoffenheim team flew to Romania on the Black Sea coast to prepare for the second round of the Champions League group stage.
After the last round of group stage, Hoffenheim, who beat Glasgow Rangers 3-0, is first with 3 points and 3 goal difference, Sevilla is second with 3 points and 2 goal difference, Uniria is third with one goal less than Glasgow Rangers, and Glasgow Rangers is fourth.
Even if there are five rounds of group stage left, in fact, for Uniria in the fourth tier, any group stage is a battle of life and death.
If you want to qualify, you have to fight hard in every group stage. Especially at home, there is no room for error.
If you can't even win at home, there is no way to qualify from the group.
Therefore, despite facing Hoffenheim, the king of Europe, Uniria shouted the slogan of going all out to win in the pre-match press conference.
They are going to fight Hoffenheim at home.
Moreover, other players in Uniria also made threatening words in interviews with reporters.
"Hoffenheim are the kings of Europe, they are top league teams, they are star players. They're afraid of getting hurt, they're afraid of being out of season. And we are not afraid, we are originally nothing, and the Champions League is the only stage where we can show ourselves to the world. We will fight Hoffenheim at home! ”
Obviously, Uniria's players want to take advantage of Hoffenheim's high value and cherish their body's mentality, threatening opponents with fouls on the pitch and even hurtful words, so that Hoffenheim's players will not play well and lose the game.
In the case that the technical and tactical level is far from enough, they can only rely on these off-the-board moves to try to recoup some disadvantages and retain a little hope of victory.
But that doesn't frighten people.
Football is a war in times of peace, and any player must pass all the tests to achieve extraordinary achievements and accolades.
If you back down after being threatened by your opponent, you will be eliminated long before you enter professional football.
In particular, Lu Wenbin, whose injury tendency has been reduced to 0, is even more fearless and fearless.
After arriving in Bugleste, Romania, in an interview, Lu Wenbin claimed that Romania was welcome to foul him, and he would use a free kick to let Romania know what to do if he used foul tactics.
Eduardo, who was already not very good-tempered, said bluntly, whoever wants to foul him, please be prepared for your own injury first.
A Champions League group stage against both sides without any historical grudges was full of gunpowder before the game.
However, Lu Wenbin didn't take it to heart.
On the one hand, his full value of injury resistance can protect him from injury, and on the other hand, if the opponent does use foul tactics, his free kicks are not vegetarian.
Of course, before the start of the game, Lu Wenbin still increased his speed a little.
It has been a month since the speed upgrade before the last UEFA Super Cup, and although Lu Wenbin wanted to improve a little more by training, he has never been able to do so.
Sure enough, the more you get to the back, the more difficult it is to use training to improve.
When his physical development was about to end, Lu Wenbin couldn't wait any longer, so he could only choose to use skill points every other month to add a little bit.
After adding points, Lu Wenbin's speed became 17/20, and there were still 3 skill points in his balance.
This speed is not slow. Although it can't be called a fast horse, it can be regarded as the level of an excellent striker!
Coupled with Lu Wenbin's ability to run without the ball, if you start early, it will be more difficult for the opponent to catch up.
At 19:45 on the evening of September 30, at the Gencha Stadium, the home stadium of Uniria, with the referee's whistle, the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League group stage second round Group G Uniria home vs Hoffenheim match officially began.
The 30,000-seat Gencha Stadium was packed to capacity, and the home fans had been making noise since before the start of the game, trying to influence Hoffenheim's performance.
Boos, horns, and even lighters, water bottles, and fireworks continued to be used during the game to help the home team beat Hoffenheim and retain a glimmer of hope of victory and qualification.
The Uniria players on the pitch were also quite desperate, and the pre-match slogan was not just words.
After all, there is indeed a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and Uniria can only use extra tricks to try to defeat Hoffenheim in addition to using a defensive formation of 451.
In the 7th minute, Salihovic was about to break through into the forbidden zone on the left side of the midfield when he was tackled by opponent Uniria defender Mafitailian with the ball and knocked to the ground.
Thankfully, Salihovic got up in time to avoid injury, and won a free-kick for Hoffenheim, who was shown a yellow card by the referee.
However, this free kick was a bit off, Lu Wenbin did not use the system skills, and his own free kick flew directly off the crossbar after going around the human wall.
In the 16th minute, Hoffenheim made a comeback.
Demba Ba sent in a cross that was met by a hidden elbow on the chest by the referee in a tussle with centre-back McMydouver.
Ibisevic, who did not reach the ball, ran to the referee to protest with his chest clutched, but the referee did not say anything, probably thinking that Ibisevic wanted to cheat the penalty.
The game continued.
In the 22nd minute, Lu Wenbin successfully received Eduardo's direct second pass from the offside position to form a single knife, and when he was about to break into the forbidden area, the defender Brandon who was caught up came to a flying tackle behind the side.
The Hoffenheim players and fans at the scene and in front of the TV all exclaimed, and countless people's hearts were about to jump out, for fear that Lu Wenbin would be tackled from behind by Brandon.
As a result, Lu Wenbin jumped up before Brandon's feet arrived, and was not directly tackled, but was just taken by Brandon and fell down.
Moreover, in the process of falling, Lu Wenbin also smashed Brandon hard.
Nearly 80 kilograms of weight fell on Brandon, making Brandon almost hold his breath, holding his chest for a long time and unable to get up.
Lu Wenbin got up like no one else, sneered, and stood next to him and didn't help Brandon.
For this kind of opponent who deliberately fouls before and during the game, and even wants to hurt people, Lu Wenbin does not need to show any gentlemanly demeanor, and he deserves to be smashed.
Brandon, who didn't get up for half a day, was not sympathized with by the referee, but was shown a yellow card by the referee and awarded Hoffenheim a free kick about 22 meters from the goal.
Lu Wenbin didn't waste this opportunity, and after opening the special skills of the system, he kicked the ball into Uniria's goal, which made Brandon, who was still uncomfortable standing on the side holding his chest, even more uncomfortable.
Because his deliberate foul failed to get Hoffenheim's most threatening Lu Wenbin off injured, a yellow card could not prevent Lu Wenbin's goal.
Hoffenheim took a 1-0 lead over Uniria thanks to a direct free-kick from Lu Wenbin in the 22nd minute.
