There is no home-and-away round-robin in the group stage of the UEFA Cup, with only one game between the two teams.

At 18:30 p.m. local time on October 23, with the referee's whistle, Hoffenheim's home match against Tottenham Hotspur in the first round of Group D of the 2008/2009 season and the last UEFA Cup group stage officially began.

The second match of the first round of the same group between Dinamo Zagreb vs Nijmegen will not start until 21 p.m., and Spartak Moscow will have a bye in the first round.

Hoffenheim and Tottenham played the same 433 formation for this game, and the two sides played against each other from the first minute.

Hoffenheim was right to lose to Blackburn in a pre-season friendly, but Hoffenheim had not yet started playing in the Bundesliga at that time, and were actually a promoted team that had just been promoted from the Bundesliga.

And everyone is mentally unprepared to play a Premier League team for the first time, not to mention that it is still an away trip, and it is acceptable to lose.

Now, after eight top-flight rounds and two League Cup qualifiers, Hoffenheim's players are in a much different spirits than they were before the start of the season, and their ability and co-ordination have improved a bit.

What's more, this is still the home field, and Hoffenheim will not be afraid of Tottenham, the bottom of the Premier League.

As for Tottenham, attacking is also a tradition. And against the old rival German team, it is also impossible to shrink the defense and lose face.

There's also the manager factor.

Eight Premier League games without a win, with only two points from the bottom of the table, manager Sergio Ramos' position is already shaky, and he also needs a hearty European victory to continue his position.

Therefore, the game was played from the first minute with both sides attacking each other, and each wanted to use their advantage to score a goal.

In the cheers of the home fans, Lu Wenbin almost successfully received the ball in the 6th minute against offside and got a chance to shoot.

However, it was pulled by the quick-eyed Tottenham defender Ledley, causing his body to pause for a moment, and then the ball was snatched away by the right-back Hatton who was chasing back next to him.

Lu Wenbin complained to the referee, but did not get any response, so he had no choice but to continue to play.

There are really too many pulling, colliding, and pushing actions on the football field.

Unless it's too obvious, the referee will generally turn a blind eye and won't care.

Lu Wenbin just protested casually, in order to give the referee the impression that the opponent's hands and feet were not clean, and the referee might award Ridley a foul next time the opponent did this.

Then, in the 14th minute, Tottenham also had a chance to shoot.

Demba Ba's dribble was tackled by Tottenham and then passed to Gareth Bale, a left winger who retreated to the back.

Bale got the ball and dodged Eduardo's tackle.

Bale then dribbled the ball from the wing to play a counter-attack, and finally faced left-back Ibertsberg with a false shot, breaking through Ibertsberg and cutting inside to shoot.

However, Bale's shooting accuracy was much worse than Lu's. The shot didn't hit the frame and ended up deflecting wide of the goal and hitting the billboard.

But Bale's speed impressed Hoffenheim's players and fans alike, with Gustavo, Ibertsberg and others all more wary of Bale.

In turn, Tottenham also took advantage of Lu Wenbin's physical characteristics to arrange a defender Ledley to mark Lu Wenbin closely, and from time to time used some small movements to push and rush Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin's physical condition is indeed a weakness, but he is not a center forward who does not need to entangle with Ledley, but uses his 19/19 off-ball running to play guerrilla.

And outside the forbidden area, Lu Wenbin can catch the ball and shoot everywhere.

Ledley's individual defensive ability may not be worse than Udinese's defenders, but Tottenham's overall defensive ability is far worse than Udinese's.

If this is not the case, how can we lose 6 of the 8 league games and only draw 2 of them?

I have to say that the holes in the Tottenham back line are too big and the overall defensive ability is too poor.

In the 22nd minute, Eduardo burst into the forbidden area from the wing, attracted the defense of two defenders, and then crossed the ball to the top of the arc of the big forbidden area.

Ibisevic, who received the ball, made a powerful shot to attract the attention of the goalkeeper and the defender in the penalty area.

As a result, Ibisevic did not touch the ball, but raised his foot to leak the ball to the back.

At this time, Lu Wenbin had already used the sudden turn to get rid of Ledley's marking for a short time, rushed to the ball first, and volleyed directly without stopping the ball.

The ball sticks to the turf through the keepout zone and into the bottom right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Gomez was a step slow to react and failed to save the ball.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Hoffenheim led Tottenham 1-0, and the scorer No. 9 Lu Wenbin.

Suddenly, the entire Carl Benz Stadium was boiling, and countless people shouted Lu Wenbin's name loudly, and the shouts of "Lu-Lu-Lu" resounded throughout the stadium.

Naturally, there is no shortage of extreme fans triumphantly provoking the Tottenham fans in the corner.

In the CCTV-5 live broadcast room, the commentator discussed with the guests after shouting excitedly: "Lu Wenbin has now become the number one superstar in Hoffenheim, listen to the voice shouting Lu Wenbin's name from the scene, and you will know how popular Lu Wenbin is in Hoffenheim." ”

The commentator nodded in agreement and praised Lu Wenbin.

At this time, in Guizhou Province, a fan who got up in the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast of the game in the computer network live broadcast room heard the commentary of the two, and listened to the live shouts from the speaker, and he suddenly noticed that the pronunciation of "Lu" was exactly the same as the "6" pronunciation that everyone usually said in Guizhou dialect.

Then, he switched to Lu Wenbin's post bar and posted casually: "The Mandarin pronunciation of Lu is exactly the same as the number 6 pronunciation in the Guizhou dialect, and the name of Lu Wenbin shouted by the fans at the Hoffenheim scene can be heard as 666!" ”

After posting, he didn't care, and switched back to the live broadcast room to watch the live broadcast.

However, the post he made quickly set off a heated discussion on Lu Wenbin's post bar.

“666？ Is the number 6 dialect in Guizhou pronounced the same as Lu? ”

"Yes, I'm from Guizhou, and I prove that the Hoffenheim fans are shouting 666!"

"The Mandarin pronunciation of 6 is liu, which can be understood as Lu Wenbin is very slippery!"

"Not very slippery, very slippery! This goal just now is proof of that! ”

"Lu Wenbin's career is also Lu Lu Dashun, which is also very 6!"

"It's not a normal 6, 6 becomes 9 when it is overturned. 9 represents the supreme, Lu Wenbin's performance will definitely be the first Chinese player in the future! ”

"That's fine, 666!"

"666666666, I love this!"

"Lu Wenbin is 666, there's nothing wrong with it!"

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the post bar learned to use 666 to praise Lu Wenbin's performance, indicating that Lu Wenbin is very powerful and amazing.

Listening to the 666 shouted by the Hoffenheim fans at the Karl Benz Stadium, everyone was even more happy, and posted a post of 666 swiping the screen.
