Chapter 127: Fight to Fame
In the 93rd minute of the game, Lu Wenbin scored from a penalty kick and scored two goals in two minutes of stoppage time to help Hoffenheim defeat Dortmund 4-3.
When Lu Wenbin kicked in the penalty, the vast majority of Dortmund fans in the stadium closed their eyes in pain.
Borussia Dortmund have struggled in the Bundesliga this season, currently sitting 11th in the Bundesliga table, and will have a bit of a hard time qualifying for next season's European competition.
Therefore, many people hope that Dortmund will make a breakthrough in the German Cup and qualify for the UEFA Cup through the cup.
As a result, they did not expect that now they were eliminated by a Bundesliga team from the countryside in the quarter-finals.
Even more humiliating was that they were both 3-2 up in the 91st minute.
As a result, in the last two minutes of stoppage time, the situation changed, and they were beaten by 17-year-old Lu Wenbin with two goals in a row, and they went out in shame.
The ups and downs of falling from heaven to hell in two or three minutes are enough to make people feel painful and stunned.
Lu Wenbin naturally didn't care about his opponent, he turned around and hugged Ibisevic, Eduardo and others who rushed into the penalty area, yelling to vent the excitement in his heart.
On the sidelines, coaches and athletes such as Ralph and Matthews were also ecstatic and celebrated excitedly on the sidelines.
And in the live TV room, the live broadcast commentator Dickenson has fallen into madness.
'The goal went in, the penalty went in, and Lou scored a crucial penalty in the final minute of the game against the boos and pressure of the Booy Dortmund crowd to give Hoffenheim a 4-3 lead.
"Crazy, crazy! Hoffenheim came down three times, equalised three times and scored twice in stoppage time to reverse the lead over Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, it was a miracle and it was definitely a great game! ”
With three goals and one assist, Hoffenheim's 17-year-old Chinese youngster Lu directed the reversal of the Bundesliga giants in the Bundesliga. I can tell you without hesitation that Lu Wenbin is definitely famous! After tonight, Lu Wenbin will be famous in Europe! ”
……
On the pitch, the Hoffenheim players were still celebrating fiercely.
On the one hand, the penalty that was reversed in stoppage time was too exciting, and on the other hand, it was also a deliberate attempt to delay time.
However, Dortmund naturally did not allow Hoffenheim to do so. They frequently protested to the referee, signaling that Hoffenheim was suspected of deliberately delaying the time.
They wanted the game to start quickly and give them time to equalise in the last few tens of seconds.
However, it backfired.
Although the referee intervened, Lu Wenbin and other Hoffenheim players stopped celebrating and returned to their own half to start again.
However, Dortmund also did not get time to attack.
No sooner had they kicked the ball in the centre circle than the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
Suddenly, the coaches and substitutes from Hoffenheim on the sidelines all rushed into the pitch and celebrated with the players on the field.
The Dortmund players, on the other hand, lost all their strength. Two of the players even threw themselves on the turf and cried.
Obviously, the fact that they were eliminated by a Bundesliga team and beaten by a 17-year-old underage player, Lu Wenbin, made them all very frustrated and sad.
In the live TV room, Dickenson, who had not yet sat down, excitedly announced:
"It's over, it's over! Hoffenheim qualified for the semi-finals of the 2007/2008 German FA Cup with a world-class performance of three goals and one assist from No. 90 China's Lu, who defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-3 at the Westfaren Stadium. ”
"It was a great race that was absolutely unforgettable! Bundesliga side Hoffenheim stubbornly equalised three times from three years down and managed to beat Borussia Dortmund in the final minute of the game. ”
"And Hoffenheim's four goals, all directly related to Lu. Perhaps, today's game is the starting point for Lu Wenbin to grow into a world superstar, and it is the first battle in which he is famous in Germany and even in Europe! In today's game, Lu Wenbin is destined to become famous! ”
Dickenson is still chattering about his admiration for Hoffenheim and his appreciation for Lu Wenbin.
However, this time no one from the Dortmund fans in front of the TV scolded him anymore.
In front of Lu Wenbin's world-class performance, they have all been convinced, and no one can scold them anymore.
Lu Wenbin's performance is world-class, and he has indeed become famous in a fight.
Although the last goal was a penalty, through the slow-motion replay of the TV, everyone still clearly saw that Ameddick did tackle Lu Wenbin first and then touch the ball last.
What's more, even if Amedic touches the ball first, his tackle from behind is not allowed by the rules of the court. Even if you tackle the ball, it's a foul.
Therefore, there is nothing controversial about this penalty.
Lu Wenbin's penalty was no problem, and he also seized the opportunity himself, and kicked the ball into the goal in the face of the boos and pressure of the Dortmund fans throughout the stadium.
Lu Wenbin deserves all the praise from Deacenson.
……
Hoffenheim's celebrations lasted more than 10 minutes before being chased back to the locker room by the pitch turf maintenance workers.
Back in the dressing room, everyone learned that the other quarter-final that started at the same time was not over, and the match between Stuttgart and Jena went into extra time.
This was a bit of a surprise for everyone.
After all, Stuttgart is a Bundesliga team and currently ranks higher than Borussia Dortmund. Jena, on the other hand, is a Bundesliga team and currently sits second from bottom in the Bundesliga standings.
No matter how you look at it, the difference in quality between Stuttgart and Jena is much larger than that between Dortmund and Hoffenheim. Jena was surprised enough to force Stuttgart into extra time.
After that, everyone began to take a shower while waiting for the result of the match between Stuttgart and Jena.
Because, after Hoffenheim eliminated Borussia Dortmund to reach the last four, their semi-final opponents were the winners of Stuttgart and Jena.
Hoffenheim naturally wanted to meet Jena, who was much easier to play than Stuttgart anyway.
Perhaps Hoffenheim's prayers played a role, and after 30 minutes of extra time, Stuttgart and Jena were still tied and the two sides had to go to penalties.
In a more fortunate contest on penalties, Jena had the last laugh: they won 5-4 on penalties to eliminate Stuttgart 7-6 on aggregate and advance to the last four of this season's German Cup.
After receiving the news that the game was over and Jena had advanced, the whole Hoffenheim team burst into excited cheers.
This result could not have been more perfect for Hoffenheim.
