After Paldjic's header in the 32nd minute gave Hoffenheim a 3-0 lead, Hoffenheim finally slowed down the pace of attack.

After all, no one can stand a constant attack, not even the most physical players.

Hoffenheim slowed down the tempo before Hamburg finally got their breath out and started trying to counter-attack.

However, Hamburg, who fell behind 0-3, was a little anxious and could not patiently organize the attack, and most of the time when they encountered interceptions after hitting the front court, it was a long-range shot.

But without Lu Wenbin's shooting accuracy and power, the goal rate of long-range shots is very low.

As a result, Hamburg were unable to pull a point back until the end of the first half, with both sides going into the break with a 3-0 scoreline.

At half-time, Ralph thought about it for a moment and did not make any substitutions, but told his players to try to keep scoring goals and kill the game completely.

If they can win 4-0 or even 5-0, then Hamburg will not be able to turn around in the second leg anyway, and Hoffenheim will not have to think about the second leg away game.

Hoffenheim will then be able to focus on the league and try to win the title early, and then go all out to prepare for the two cup competitions.

However, if you think so, the Hamburg team, which has already reached the semi-finals, clearly does not want to give up.

After the half-time adjustments, Hamburg seemed to have regained their morale and defended a little tighter in the second half, not giving Hoffenheim too many chances.

After all, it is the team at the top of the standings, and the strength of the Hamburg team is still very strong.

In the first half, he was only a little stunned by Hoffenheim's goal in the opening 4 minutes, and then Hoffenheim's continuous attack caused the defense to be full of holes, and he fell behind by 3 goals in 32 minutes in the first half.

After a bit of a cushioning at half-time, Hamburg played much better in the second half.

In the 56th minute, Jaisler also wanted to make a wide assist, but just after halfway through the field, the opponent broke the ball and almost hit a counterattack.

Thankfully, Hamburg's final cross was cleared by Nelson and not by the Hamburg striker.

After 60 minutes of stalemate, the Hamburg team finally got a little anxious again.

If it ends with a score of 3-0 and no away goals, it cannot be said that Hamburg is dead, but it will obviously be difficult to turn the tables around in the second leg.

As a result, the Hamburg team stepped up their attack. Don't seek a reversal, just score an away goal, and keep a little hope of a comeback after returning to home in the second leg.

However, after the Hamburg team stepped up their attack, there was inevitably a loosening of the backline.

In the 68th minute, Hamburg had not yet scored an away goal, and Hoffenheim scored first.

Lu Wenbin threw off Boateng in the forbidden area and ran out of a gap to receive a wonderful pass from Eduardo, and then carried the beast's waist De Jong's charge and forced his feet to shoot.

After shooting the ball, Lu Wenbin was knocked to the ground by De Jong.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Because the ball shot by Lu Wenbin has accurately entered the lower right corner of the goal, a blind corner shot, goalkeeper Rost did not save.

In the process of falling to the ground, Lu Wenbin, who watched the ball enter the net, immediately turned over and climbed up after landing, rushed to the sidelines excitedly, threw himself into the arms of the fans, and celebrated fiercely with the fans at the scene.

The 4-0 scoreline and the goal against the world-famous beast waist De Jong made Lu Wenbin full of excitement.

After celebrating with the fans and teammates for a while, Lu Wenbin and others returned to their own half under the referee's reminder and let the Hamburg team open the middle circle to start the game again.

With a score of 0-4, Hamburg had no choice but to press the attack and strive for goals without hesitation.

After more than 10 minutes of attacking, Hamburg finally scored a brilliant long-range shot in the 82nd minute to pull a point back and the score became Hoffenheim 4-1 Hamburg.

Of course, this is not enough, and the Hamburg team continues to pursue goals.

However, the Hoffenheim backline, which is full of main players, is not so easy to break. The starting centre-back combination of Jankel and Nelsson withstood the test and failed to allow Hamburg to score again in the final ten minutes.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, was a bit unlucky.

Salihovic's long-range shot from the line of the 'no-go' zone slid out of the net, and Lu Wenbin's own free-kick hit the woodwork and bounced back into the no-go zone to be cleared.

After 90 minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match as Hoffenheim won 4-1 at home to rivals Hamburg in the first leg of the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Lu Wenbin received 2 goals of 80,000 + the team won 80,000 goals, a total of 160,000 experience rewards, and the experience rose to level 16 627,000/2 million.

For Hoffenheim's supporters, it was frustrating not to keep a clean sheet and give Hamburg an away goal.

However, the 4-1 victory is still hearty, and it is especially rare for Hoffenheim in the second half of the season.

With the exception of a 4-0 home win over Zenit St. Petersburg in the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, there is no easier or more hearty game in the second half of the season.

After months of struggle, Hoffenheim finally fully recovered in this game, showing the momentum of the team on all fronts in the first half of the season, which made people less worried and worried.

Therefore, after the game, the fans were reluctant to leave for a long time, and kept singing and celebrating in the stadium, interacting with the team members who lined up to thank them, and the celebration lasted for more than half an hour before gradually dispersing.

After the game, both the German media and other foreign media covering the UEFA Cup agreed that Hoffenheim and Hamburg had lost their suspense in the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

The score of 4-1 basically killed the suspense of the second leg.

Although there is a precedent for Deportivo La Coruna to eliminate AC Milan 1-4 away and 4-0 at home, there is only one case after all, otherwise it cannot be called a miracle.

Most of the time, it will be difficult to turn the game back in the second leg with a net loss of three goals in the first leg.

Therefore, everyone agrees that Hoffenheim can devote their team energy to the league and strive for the league title early.

But Ralph didn't think so.

In Ralph's mind, there are five more league games to go, and even if the one between the two League Cup games is forfeited, there are still four, and there is plenty of room for error.

But the UEFA Cup is not to be missed.

The score of 4-1 is not 4-0, Hamburg still has an away goal after all, and Hamburg only need to win 3-0 in the second leg to eliminate Hoffenheim.

Therefore, after the first leg, Ralph has already decided to give up the next league game and prepare for the second leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final away game against Hamburg.
