When the opponent goes further and starts to send people to keep an eye on Lu Wenbin, the opponent's defensive strength in other places is bound to weaken, and Lu Wenbin can also start to help his teammates run and pull the gap and let other teammates shoot.

That's what Ralph has made to make a tactical change, not only to ensure more variation in the league, but also to keep some hope alive for the team's second-leg away trip to Udinese.

After adjusting and redefining Lu Wenbin's position, the team went through two days of adaptation training, and Lu Wenbin began to increase the range of running in the midfield.

Although Lu Wenbin's physical consumption has increased in this way, everyone is pleased to see that the number of shots by Lu Wenbin has greatly increased, and the number of shots and goals within the goal frame has also increased.

Then, on September 21, Hoffenheim ushered in the fifth round of the Bundesliga with Dortmund at home.

This game, in addition to Dortmund's revenge for wanting to report last season's German Cup quarter-finals by Hoffenheim at Westfalen Stadium, was also hyped by the media in China and South Korea as an East Asian derby.

Because in the Hoffenheim team, there is a main player of the South Korean national team, Lee Young-pyo.

After helping Tottenham Hotspur win the English League Cup last season, Lee moved to Borussia Dortmund this summer and quickly settled into the regular left-back.

Lee Young-pyo was rated as one of the best left-backs in the Eredivisie by his coach Martin Joel when he was in charge of PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.

However, Li Rongbi, who was born in 1977, is 31 years old this year, and he is no longer physically able to attack, retreat or defend.

But his defensive strength and experience are still very good, otherwise he would not have been in the main position just after moving to Dortmund this year.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin is also a well-deserved main force and first core of the Hoffenheim team, and Lu Wenbin is a striker, Li Rongpyo is a defender, and the two must have a lot of confrontations on the field.

So it's no surprise that China and South Korea are hyping the East Asian derby as a way to attract fans and boost ratings.

The two of them are worthy of such a label in terms of status and strength, and they are not the East Asian derbies that sold dog meat on the head of sheep in the past.

In the attention of countless fans in China and South Korea, at 16 o'clock in the afternoon of September 21, with the referee's whistle, the 5th round of the 2008/2009 German Bundesliga Hoffenheim home VS Dortmund match officially began.

In this game, Dortmund absorbed the experience of Udinese in defending Lu Wenbin, and no longer only stared at Lu Wenbin to defend alone, but consciously cut off the ball path between Hoffenheim's teammates and Lu Wenbin in advance, preventing them from passing the ball to Lu Wenbin.

Dortmund's backline is naturally stronger than those teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, and it still has some effect on Lu Wenbin's defense.

However, Hoffenheim, who had prepared and secretly trained for two days, did not need to be reminded by Ralph and immediately changed the formation, and Lu Wenbin's position began to drift.

Lu Wenbin appeared on the left side for a while, appeared on the right side for a while, and ran to the midfield for a while, and within 40 meters of the front field, Lu Wenbin was everywhere.

Although the physical consumption of running like this is very high, Lu Wenbin also managed to get out of the cage of the Dortmund organization and got a lot of opportunities.

For a free man whose position is erratic, Dortmund, who is already good at playing offensive football and not good at defense, has no choice but to take Lu Wenbin.

In the 6th minute, Lu Wenbin got a chance to shoot from outside the forbidden area, but the final shot was slightly wide of the goal.

However, Lu Wenbin was not annoyed, and still kept running in the front court looking for opportunities.

In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Baker on the side of the front field through a change of position with Salihovic, and then collided with Demba Ba to a two-by-one to pass Li Rongpyo.

Then, Lu Wenbin cut inside and shot with his feet before the opponent's central defender stepped up.

The ball fell into the corner of the Dortmund goal like a precise cruise missile. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller made a save, but he didn't touch the ball and could only watch it go into the net.

Hoffenheim 1-0 Borussia Dortmund.

In the following time, Lu Wenbin also got free kicks and several shots on goal, but in the end they all missed the goal.

Until the 43rd minute, near the end of the first half, Lu Wenbin, who rarely passes in the Bundesliga, received a pass from Eduardo, and suddenly shook Li Rongpyo into the forbidden area through two consecutive smashes on the corner of the big forbidden area, and then shot successfully before the opponent's defender blocked the ball.

The ball slid into the back of the net and Weidenfeller couldn't save it to give Hoffenheim a 2-0 lead.

It wasn't that Lee Rong-pyo didn't succeed in defending Lu Wenbin, but Lu Wenbin scored two goals in the end, and both of them were related to his breakthrough.

The so-called East Asian derby can basically declare Lu Wenbin victorious.

Whether the South Koreans admit it or not, this is the case.

Within two minutes of Lu Wenbin's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At the end of the game, Lu Wenbin, who scored twice in the first half, sweated like rain, gasping for breath and a little tired.

Originally, the UEFA Cup match against Udinese was more demanding than the Bundesliga, and the pressure was also very high, Lu Wenbin also played the whole game and scored a goal.

Now that it has only been three days since the last League Cup game, there is not enough rest, and Lu Wenbin has changed his style of play again, increasing the range and distance of running, and he is naturally even more tired.

Therefore, with the team already leading 2-0, in order to conserve more energy for Lu Wenbin to play the second leg away game against Udinese, Ralph replaced Lu Wenbin at halftime.

For Lu Wenbin himself, he has already scored two goals, and even if the team loses in the second half and has no winning experience, he can be promoted.

Therefore, in order to retain more physical strength for the League Cup game, Lu Wenbin had no opinion and calmly accepted the decision to be replaced by the head coach.

In the second half, after Lu Wenbin, the most dangerous man, went off, Dortmund finally put more troops into the attack, and finally managed to score a goal through their striker Valdés.

However, Hoffenheim also turned and hit the goal after receiving the ball in the penalty area in the 77th minute.

In the end, the score was 3-1 at the end of the game, Hoffenheim won at home to Borussia Dortmund to make it five wins in a row in the Bundesliga, and Lu Wenbin scored a brace in just 45 minutes of the first half.

Neither Hoffenheim nor Lu Wenbin collapsed because of the defeat in the first leg of the League Cup, which disappointed many media who wanted to see Hoffenheim's jokes.
