Chapter 388: Countdown Lore
Just when Mourinho was still hesitating about how to play the next game, the game resumed.
Hoffenheim were not satisfied with an equaliser, but launched a more aggressive attack under the stimulus of Lu Wenbin's three-minute brace.
Everyone wants to continue to turn the score around.
In the next few minutes, Inter Milan couldn't even get past half of the ball.
Even if Inter Milan gets the ball, they will be snatched back by Sucullini and others with crazy pressing.
Seeing this, Mourinho's gambling gene attacked.
After Hoffenheim scored two goals in three minutes to equalize the score, Mourinho was very unhappy, and his tactics of putting the bus to defend the championship also failed.
Although it is a draw now, there is a chance to win until the penalty shootout, and Inter Milan's goalkeeper strength and player penalty kick ability are better than Hoffenheim.
But playing penalties is a test of luck, and experienced Inter players are not guaranteed to win penalty shoot-outs.
Jose Mourinho didn't want to hold on until the end of the 120 minutes and then pin his title hopes on the luck of taking a penalty.
What's more, with the average age and overall physical fitness of Inter Milan's team, it is a question of whether they can hold on until the end of the game for 120 minutes!
Therefore, Mourinho simply did nothing, replaced the 37-year-old captain Zanetti, who had begun to suffer a serious decline in fitness, with center forward Diego Milito, and switched to 4132 to attack Hoffenheim, hoping to settle the battle within 90 minutes.
Lu Wenbin completely left Cambiaso alone to watch.
Although there is one less person in the backline to keep an eye on him, Lu Wenbin's luck seems to have run out.
In the following time, the two sides fought against each other, but neither could score.
Milito had a shot from the no-ken' zone that was blocked by the returning Suculini.
Lu Wenbin also had a wonderful inverted hook shot, which was also saved by Cesar, otherwise it would have become a classic goal in the Champions League final.
There were four minutes of stoppage time in this game, and until the third minute of stoppage time, neither side had scored and the score was still 2-2.
The clock had come to 93 minutes and 30 seconds, and everyone thought that Hoffenheim and Inter Milan were going to play extra time.
At this time, Demba Ba caused a foul on defender Ziwu when he was about to break through to the bottom line and cross from the wing, and Hoffenheim won a free kick from outside the penalty area less than 5 meters from the baseline.
It's not much different from a corner, just a little closer to the goal than a corner, a little bit more angled.
But it's hard to hit a direct free-kick goal.
In the past, Hoffenheim never took free kicks in this position, but let other teammates take the penalty, and he used his off-ball movement and body to bounce for headers in the penalty area.
But this time, Eduardo stood in front of the ball and looked at the two Inter players who were lining up the wall, Stankovic and Milito, and he beckoned to Lu Wenbin to pass.
Lu Wenbin, who was running around in the forbidden area, ran over puzzled and asked Eduardo, "What's wrong?" ”
Eduardo leaned into Lu Wenbin's ear, covered his mouth and said softly: "Now there is not much time left, you can punish this ball and see if you can hit it directly." If we score, we will win the championship in a second and reverse Inter to win the championship. ”
Lu Wenbin looked at the human wall and the goal, and the angle was too small.
His free-kick system skills had already been used in the first half, when he hit the woodwork but was saved by Cesar and did not score.
Now he has to use his own skills to take the penalty, although he has scored a lot of free kicks himself, but the free kicks in this position are not to mention scored in the game, he has rarely practiced in training, how to play?
Therefore, Lu Wenbin hesitated: "The angle of this ball is too small, and I am not sure that it can hit the goal frame, let alone score a goal." ”
Eduardo continued to muttered in his ear: "Don't play directly, let's send a tactical free kick." In the past, you were directly punished, and they didn't necessarily react. I'll stand on the line of the forbidden zone, and then you will fake the real pass, pass the ball to me, I will step on it for you, and you will take the penalty. This way the free throw angle is much larger, and it can avoid the wall. ”
Lu Wenbin's eyes lit up, he observed, nodded and said, "Yes, let's try it." ”
Then, Lu Wenbin stood behind the football, and Eduardo stepped away, standing about eight '9 meters from the baseline, and no one defended him.
Because Lu Wenbin has never given a tactical free kick since he took a free kick, whether it is Hoffenheim or Inter Milan players, everyone is staring at Lu Wenbin, thinking that he is going to shoot directly.
Inter men Stankovic and Milito are ready to break the ball, goalkeeper Cesar is ready to save, Inter players are ready to fight for the top to clear the ball, and Hoffenheim players are ready to fight for the goal.
No one knew that Eduardo and Lu Wenbin had just discussed a tactical free kick, and everyone thought that Eduardo just asked Lu Wenbin to take the free kick in the past.
With everyone ready, the clock was 93 minutes and 50 seconds of stoppage time, and the commentators were telling the crowd that the ball should be Hoffenheim's last chance to attack.
After Lu Wenbin scored this goal, whether he scored or not, the referee may blow the whistle at the end of the 90-minute regular game time and will play extra time.
Then, the referee blew the whistle for free throws, and Lu Wenbin began to run.
When he ran in front of the ball, Lu Wenbin made a gesture of kicking and shooting, causing Stankovic and Milito, who were human walls, to jump up, but Lu Wenbin stopped, did not shoot, but pushed to Eduardo on the big no-go' zone.
Eduardo stepped on the ball, fixed it, and then took a step back, Lu Wenbin ran over again and curled a shot into the top corner of the far goal.
Without the blockage of the wall, Lu Wenbin's full value of shooting attributes, it is much easier to shoot from set-pieces, only slightly more difficult than a penalty, but it is much easier than a direct free kick.
Stankovic and Milito, who had just landed after being deceived by Lu Wenbin, wanted to rush up to block the gun's hole, but it was too late.
Goalkeeper Cesar also pounced out, stretching his arm to get the ball out, but couldn't touch it.
The ball grazed past Cesar's fingertips and then spun against the far post and into the back of the net.
On the commentary seat, the German commentator Dickenson let out a long roar: "Toooooooor......"
"Lore, lore! This is a countdown from Lou! ”
"Lue scored a hat-trick to kill Inter!"
"Hoffenheim is the champion!"
In addition to the Italian commentators, commentators from other countries and TV stations shouted one after another:
"Oh my God, lore, count, Lou killed Inter Milan with a tactical free kick in the last few seconds!"
"Classic game, classic duel, Inter Milan was defeated by Lu alone!"
"Lu has completed the feat of hat-trick in the Champions League final, the fifth in the history of the Champions League final, and Lu is the fourth person to do so. The first three were Puskas 2 times, Di Stefano 1 time, and Praty 1 time. ”
"Lu decided to win the championship, and he deserves to be the most efficient super striker in the world today!"
"The stunner, the reversal, the brace in 3 minutes, the hat trick in the final, this is a classic game destined to go down in history!"
