Chapter 122: Hoffenheim's counterattack

On February 26, the two German Cup quarterfinals that started at the same time, German Sports TV chose Dortmund vs Hoffenheim for national live broadcast.

Because Dortmund's Westfaren Stadium, as well as Hoffenheim's five-game winning streak after the winter break, and Lu Wenbin's goal gimmick, are more attractive than the Stuttgart vs Jena game.

However, judging from the performance in the early stages of the game, the live broadcast commentator Hans Dickensen could not see the opportunity for Hoffenheim to counterattack Dortmund as a Bundesliga team, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

After Dortmund's No. 9 Valdés opened the scoring in the 11th minute, Dickenson said in a flat tone:

"The ball is in! In the 11th minute, Borussia Dortmund, who were playing at Westfalen's home stadium, were given a 1-0 home lead over Hoffenheim by a goal from their number nine striker, Nelson Valdés. If Hoffenheim had continued to perform like that until full-time, I wouldn't have been surprised that they were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund. ”

The Dort fan in front of the TV scolded dissatisfiedly: "Damn, it's not surprising that we are ahead of the Jinyuan team from the countryside, the commentator wants to be upset, and Dickenson will die!" ”

……

At the scene, the cheers and screams of tens of thousands of Dortmund fans continued, as if they were about to collapse the stadium, leaving the visiting players and fans in awe.

However, Lu Wenbin was not afraid.

With the system plug-in, Lu Wenbin has a psychological advantage in terms of psychology, whether he is facing any opponent or the opponent's fans.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin was not only not intimidated by Dortmund's goal and the huge cheers of the home fans, but he called his teammates together to cheer up morale loudly:

"Guys, now we're behind, at most losing, there's nothing to worry about, there's nothing worse than that. But if we can come back from home to beat Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalen Stadium, what are those opponents in the Bundesliga? Not only will we qualify for the semi-finals of the German Cup, but we will also be able to win the Bundesliga in the Bundesliga. Let's cheer up and fight them to the end! ”

If it's an average young player, I'm afraid no one listens.

However, Lu Wenbin scored in the previous five games, and the total number of goals in the team has reached 7, as well as 3 assists, which is the biggest contributor to the team's five consecutive wins after the winter break, and everyone is convinced by Lu Wenbin.

Coupled with the role of Lu Wenbin's aura as a junior leader, what he said had no less impact on his teammates than captain Salihovic.

Coupled with the fact that the first captain Salihovic was injured and could not play in this game, no one on the field has overwhelming prestige.

Lu Wenbin has the dazzling results of the previous five games, as well as the bonus of the leader's aura, and his speech is naturally as effective as the captain.

Therefore, after Lu Wenbin finished speaking, everyone did not question Lu Wenbin's qualifications and prestige, but naturally thought about Lu Wenbin's words.

"Lu is right, it's already behind anyway, the big deal is to lose, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"If everyone can cheer up and beat Borussia Dortmund to reach the semi-finals of the German Cup, it will be a big show in front of the national audience."

With this in mind, Hoffenheim's players forgot about the pressure brought to them by tens of thousands of Dortmund fans in the stands and turned that pressure into motivation to beat Borussia Dortmund at the Westfaren Stadium to advance to the last four.

After the restart, Hoffenheim's performance returned to normal, and some people were excited and began to play beyond their norms.

On the other hand, after Dortmund easily took the lead in the opening 11 minutes, some players inevitably felt a little unhappy, feeling that this opponent from the Bundesliga was too weak to be taken seriously.

Coupled with the media hype before the game, the whole Dortmund team already felt that they had no problem in qualifying, and they didn't need to take Hoffenheim to heart.

Even Lu Wenbin, who scored goals every game before, was unconsciously relaxed by them.

In their hearts, Lu Wenbin scored every game before only because the opponent he met was at the German second level. Facing Dortmund at the Westfaren Stadium today, facing the boos of tens of thousands of fans, Lu Wenbin will not be so magical.

I haven't seen the opening 10 minutes, and Lu Wenbin didn't even have a shot on goal?

Perhaps, in the boos of tens of thousands of Dort's fans at Westfaren Stadium, Lu Wenbin has even forgotten how to shoot!

However, they soon discovered that they were wrong: the careless Dortmund players soon caught a glimpse of Hoffenheim's attacking firepower and Lu Wenbin's precision in the box.

Just five minutes after Valdés' goal, Hoffenheim counter-attacked for the first time of the game.

The ball from the back fell to right midfielder Francisco Copado, who ran wildly down the flank and burst to the bottom line before crossing into the box.

Ibisevic, who quickly followed up and rushed into the box, jumped high to fight for the first point.

It was originally a counterattack, coupled with the contempt for Hoffenheim, most of Dortmund pressed to the front, and there were not many people in the back.

Then, the two remaining Dortmund defenders, Amedick and Kovac, also went to defend Ibisevic, who rushed forward and was about to grab the first point.

Seeing that Ibisevic was about to grab the first point, goalkeeper Ziegler also adjusted his position, standing between Ibisevic and the goal, ready to save his header.

However, they all forgot about Lu Wenbin, the little man who quietly followed Ibisevic diagonally and acted as a shadow striker.

Under the tugging of Amedick and Kovac, Ibisevic felt that he could not use his waist and could not shake his head to hit the goal. Even if you hit this header, you don't have much power, and you may not be able to hit the wrong part and fly off the crossbar.

In addition, the opponent's goalkeeper Ziegler is still between himself and the goal, and the angle of the goal is not large.

As a result, Ibisevic suddenly shrank his neck when he was about to reach the ball, and the ball leaked to the back post.

In the usual offensive training, there is the training of this offensive routine.

Ibisevic knew that if there were no accidents, Lu Wenbin should have waited at the back post for his header to cross or leak the ball.

Sure enough, when Ibisevic fell to the ground and turned his head to look back, he saw that Lu Wenbin in the corner of the small penalty area had already pulled away his legs, and a sideways volley hit the football in mid-air.

At this time, another Dortmund central defender, Hu Nemaier, who was chasing Lu Wenbin back from the midfield, arrived.

Although he stretched out his foot behind Lu Wenbin's side, he was no longer able to stop Lu Wenbin's non-stop volley.

The ball flew past Honemeier's toe like a cannonball, heading towards the goal.
