Chapter 146: Last Chance

On the court, Lu Wenbin encouraged his teammates one by one, telling them to cheer up and continue the game.

As long as he doesn't continue to be scored by Bayern and then creates another chance for him to shoot in front, he will definitely score.

With the encouragement of Lu Wenbin, who has the aura of a leader, the Hoffenheim players have regained a little morale.

Lu Wenbin's strength in the previous more than ten games has given his teammates some confidence and hope.

As long as the backfield does not concede any more goals, and the frontcourt can create another opportunity for Lu Wenbin to shoot, Lu Wenbin may not have the possibility of scoring again to help the team equalize.

After the restart, Bayern Munich restrained a little.

After all, no team can sustain a high-intensity attack for the entire 90 minutes of the game.

Bayern has been attacking before, but there is no way, they are behind, they want to equalize, they want to overtake, so they have to continue to attack.

Now that they have overtaken the score and led Hoffenheim 2-1, it is natural to slow down the pace a little and take a breath.

This also came as a relief to Hoffenheim's defenders.

Bayern Munich continued to attack for more than 70 minutes and only conceded two goals, and they were also under a lot of pressure.

The three midfielders who were originally in charge of attacking, Salihovic, Copado, and Eduardo, can finally devote more energy to attacking.

Hoffenheim began to switch from defense to attack, and the formation pressed forward to attack Bayern Munich's half, hoping to take advantage of Bayern's shrinking defense and unstable foothold to see if they could score a goal to equalize.

However, Bayern Munich is not your average team. Of all the European clubs, Bayern Munich's overall mental quality is certainly among the best.

Their contraction is not a discouragement, but a strategic retracement to recuperate. Hoffenheim would be a big mistake to think that Bayern players are really too tired to walk and can attack aggressively.

In the 83rd minute, Hoffenheim, who was attacking aggressively, was almost counterattacked by Bayern.

Salihovic dribbled the ball down the flank and was tackled by Sagnol, the ball fell to Sousa's feet and then passed to Ribery.

After a few minutes of rest, Ribery regained his spirits, took the ball and sprang out instantly, past Jankel and then crossed the bottom of the ball, and Luca Toney, who followed up in the middle, made a standard leap to the top.

Ribery's cross was powerful, Toni was up to par and Daniel Haas had already surrendered, but the header hit the crossbar hard and bounced off the line.

The Bayern fans in the stands let out a lament, and the commentators exclaimed: "It's the post again, Bayern Munich hit the post for the third time today." If it weren't for the help of the goalposts, the game would have ended early, and Hoffenheim were lucky. ”

Indeed, when he saw Luka Toney head the ball, Lu Wenbin was already a little desperate.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the header smashed on the crossbar, which made Lu Wenbin gasp and feel like he was escaping death.

The goalposts of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin have helped in this way, and Lu Wenbin can't give up, even if there is only about 10 minutes of stoppage time before the end of the game.

As long as the final whistle does not sound, Lu Wenbin cannot give up.

When the other teammates were still a little apprehensive, Lu Wenbin gathered several people in the front court together and said in a low voice:

'We were lucky today that the goalposts were always on our side. Therefore, even if we are down now, we can't give up. There are still ten minutes or so to go, and I guess I'll still be stared at by them. So I want you to break through and try to take free-kicks. If I have the chance, I'll pass the ball to you and you'll do the final blow. ”

Eduardo and the others nodded, then dispersed, goalkeeper Haas drove the ball and the game continued.

Sure enough, as Lu Wenbin expected, although Lu Wenbin was almost inactive in this game except for the midfield hanging shot, Bayern Munich's marking of him still did not relax at all.

Salihovic and others want to pass the ball to Lu Wenbin and let him hit the goal, but it is almost impossible to achieve.

As a result, Salihovic and others stepped up their individual dribbling and breakaways, intending to create a foul on Bayern Munich and get a free-kick opportunity.

However, Bayern has been prepared for this for a long time, and will not easily foul at all, but use the strong overall strength to help the defense to destroy, and not give Hoffenheim the opportunity to burst into the box or get a free kick.

As the minutes ticked by, the Bayern fans in the stands stood up and began to sing excitedly in advance to celebrate the victory and the championship.

Although they only played a narrow 2-1 victory against the Bundesliga team, a win is a win, the championship trophy is the most important, and Bayern fans are not dissatisfied, and it is not a strange thing to celebrate in advance.

On the field, seeing that there was not much time left, Eduardo and others were also a little anxious, and the number of brute and solo efforts increased, so that there was no threat to Bayern's goal.

Although Lu Wenbin was also very anxious, he understood that being anxious could not solve the problem, and he was only short of one chance to shoot.

Therefore, he used the opportunity of running to comfort Ibisevic and others one by one, telling them not to rush, to be more patient, to pay attention to his running position and the gaps in the Bayern penalty area, and to create opportunities for him to shoot.

Under Lu Wenbin's comfort, Eduardo and others calmed down and became more patient, no longer rushing into the penalty area, but patiently looking for opportunities to pass or shoot outside the penalty area.

Lu Wenbin tried his best to run back and forth, pulling and running, intending to throw off Otter and run out of the gap, and received a pass from his teammates to form a goal.

Finally, when the clock went into stoppage time, Hoffenheim, who patiently looked for an opportunity, played a beautiful, successful short pass.

In front of the Bayern penalty area, Salihovic, Eduardo, and Ibisevic delivered the ball to the feet of Copado, who cut inside on the side, in the 92nd minute through continuous passes.

Through the continuous short passes of several people just now, Bayern Munich's formation was pulled and disrupted a little, and a gap finally appeared near the penalty spot in the big penalty area directly opposite the goal.

Then, Lu Wenbin, who was running to the corner of the small penalty area with Otter, suddenly braked, turned around and rushed to the penalty spot, and Copado's ball was passed in time.

"Stop him!" Lensing's face changed dramatically, and he yelled as he moved from the side of the goal to the middle.

If Lu Wenbin is allowed to get a chance to shoot at such a close and right place, it will be almost a goal nine times out of ten!

Ottel, who followed behind Lu Wenbin and was thrown away by Lu Wenbin a little distance, didn't have time to think about it at all, and flew to the ground, intending to block the line of Lu Wenbin's shot with his body.

Lucio, who was attracted by Ibisevic and out of position just now, also turned around with an ugly face and rushed back, falling directly to the ground and shoveling the ball.

In the middle of this, Lu Wenbin, who was really about to shoot, found that it was difficult to score the ball.

Not to mention that Otter, who had fallen to the ground, was in the way of his shot, and Rensing was in goal.

Just Lucio, who is tall and has long legs, Lu Wenbin intuitively feels that if he wants to shoot normally, he is afraid that before he touches the ball, Lucio will shovel the ball away first.

Therefore, there was no time to think deeply, and Lu Wenbin had to fly towards the ball like Lucio.

It doesn't matter if you can shoot or not, you can touch the ball first.
