Hoffenheim's match with Dinamo Zagreb was followed by another Group D group game that ended at the same time, with Spartak Moscow unexpectedly losing at home to Nijmegen.

Tottenham Hotspur have a bye in this round.

After the fourth round of the League Cup, Hoffenheim is first with 9 points and 5 goal difference, and Tottenham is second with 6 points and 2 goal difference.

Nijmegen and Spartak Moscow are tied on 3-1 goal difference, but Nijmegen are in the front of the table thanks to a head-to-head win in the fourth round of the group stage, with the two teams finishing third and fourth respectively.

Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, are bottom of the group with 3 points and 5 goal difference.

And Dinamo Zagreb's four rounds of group stage have all been played, and they will have a bye in the final round, and they will not even have a chance to continue the game and turn the tables.

As a result, Dinamo Zagreb, who finished bottom of the table after the fourth round, are de facto out of the tournament early.

With three of the five teams in the group stage, Hoffenheim and Dinamo Zagreb out early, Tottenham Hotspur, Nijmegen and Spartak Moscow are left to compete for the last two qualifying spots.

Of course, Tottenham, who have six points and a goal difference, are in the best position.

However, none of this has much to do with Hoffenheim, who have already qualified early and have a good chance of topping the group.

At this time, Hoffenheim's most important thing is to prepare for the 16th round of the Bundesliga against Bayern Munich.

Lu Wenbin still remembers last season's German Cup final, he was almost targeted to death by Bayern, and finally relied on a lucky midfield hanging shot and a free kick in extra time to help the team win 3-2 and win the championship.

Bayern Munich's overall technical and tactical level and individual strength of the stars are very different from other opponents they have faced in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup.

This is a truly world-class giant, and it is clearly not on the same level as other teams in the Bundesliga.

With the system as the backing, Lu Wenbin can also play other teams with ease.

But against Bayern Munich, even if he has 20/20 shots and 19/19 runs without the ball, he can't say that he will definitely lead the team to victory.

Maybe he can continue to score goals himself, but he can't guarantee whether the team will win or not.

Even if he himself were to continue his performance in the last UEFA Cup group game against Dinamo Zagreb, he would not necessarily be able to score.

Therefore, after the poor performance in the fourth round of the League Cup group stage, Lu Wenbin also realized the problem of his overindulgence and suspended his entanglement with Kate.

First take a two-day truce, actively devote yourself to training, and pass the level of Bayern Munich.

There is no doubt that this Bayern Munich home match against Hoffenheim is the most important focus of this round of the Bundesliga.

Although Hoffenheim has locked the halfway championship in advance, the halfway championship is not completely equal to the Bundesliga championship at the end of the season, and there is still a 1/3 chance that the championship will be lost.

Especially in the special league of the Bundesliga, if you want to win the Bundesliga title, you have to wrestle with Bayern Munich no matter what.

This is not only a test of the strength of the team, but also a test of the team's confidence and morale.

As for Bayern Munich, which regards the Bundesliga as its backyard, it is natural that it wants to beat Hoffenheim, shorten the points gap, and then complete a big comeback to win the championship in the second half of the season.

Bayern have plenty of experience and are very good at chasing after their opponents, putting pressure on them, and coming from behind to win the game.

As a result, on the evening of December 6, the 66,000-seat Allianz Arena, which hosted the opening ceremony of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, was packed.

Not only did countless Bayern fans fill the stands to cheer on the Southern Star, but there are also more than 4,000 Hoffenheim fans, which is already more than the total population of Hoffenheim's resident village.

This is the largest number of Hoffenheim fans have ever made an away journey, which is a testament to the importance of the match in everyone's minds, and on the other hand, to the attractiveness and cohesion of Hoffenheim's current results.

At 20:30 on the evening of December 6, the first game of the 16th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich's home match against Hoffenheim was broadcast live to dozens of countries throughout Germany and around the world.

When the game started and Lu Wenbin ran to Bayern's half, there was an uproar at the scene and in front of the TV, and those professional commentators and special guests also looked at each other one by one, which was a little incredible.

Because when other weaker teams in the Bundesliga and the League Cup did not treat Lu Wenbin like this, Bayern Munich, as a world-class giant, actually sent two full-time defenders to Lu Wenbin, who was only 18 years old.

From the beginning of the game, Bayern's No. 16 defensive defender Otter was pasted with Lu Wenbin.

Unless Lu Wenbin retreats to the front of his forbidden zone, even near the middle line, Otte will follow Lu Wenbin closely.

This is the person who was responsible for defending Lu Wenbin in the German Cup final last season, and has experience in dealing with Lu Wenbin.

In that game, except for the unexpected midfield hanging shot and direct free kick goal, Lu Wenbin was really prevented by Otter and didn't score a single goal.

Now Lu Wenbin's off-ball running ability and physical fitness have been greatly improved, but Bayern Munich coach Jurgen Klinsmann is more extreme.

Not only did he continue to send the experienced Otter to mark Lu Wenbin closely, but he also sent central defender Demichelis to help him close after Lu Wenbin came within 30 meters of the goal.

As long as Lu Wenbin is within 30 meters of the goal, he will be surrounded by two full-time defenders who can play at Bayern, Otter and Demichelis, who can play the main force at Bayern.

This is simply the treatment of a world-class superstar, even the average striker of Real Madrid and Barcelona cannot enjoy this treatment.

It can be seen to what extent Bayern Munich and Klinsmann attach importance to Lu Wenbin.

But in fact, Lu Wenbin does not have the strength of a world-class superstar, at least in terms of speed, he is still far behind.

As long as this Ottel and Demichelis were concentrated, they kept staring at Lu Wenbin. With Lu Wenbin's speed, no matter how high his off-ball running attribute is, he can't escape the close marking of the two.

With a person's close marking, Lu Wenbin can also use unexpected back-and-forth running, changing direction and other short-term throws to run out of the gap.

But for two people, Lu Wenbin, whose speed attribute is only 11/11, has a great chance of getting rid of it has been greatly reduced and compressed.

Even if one person is thrown away by his sudden change of direction, the other person will immediately pounce, not giving Lu Wenbin a chance to run out of the gap to catch the ball.

Lu Wenbin, who only had one shot on goal in the first 20 minutes of the game and was also hit by Demichelis's interference, was desperate to increase his speed to 20/20.

In that case, even two people won't be able to guard against him.

Because he can eat each other hard with his speed, and directly use his speed to throw off everyone.

And now, two of Bayern's top defenders are preoccupied with one of him, which makes Lu Wenbin feel helpless.

This is even more helpless than Lu Wenbin's chain defense against Udinese in the first leg of the League Cup.
