Chapter 258: Dismount (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At Bayer Arena, Hoffenheim played away to Bayer Leverkusen in the second minute of the German Cup semi-final, and Lu Wenbin was in the midfield preparing to receive a pass from Copado.
This is an ordinary pass transfer, it is impossible for Lu Wenbin to hit the goal in this position, there is no threat, just a transition with his teammates.
However, Rolfes, the full-time defender of Lu Wenbin, didn't care so much, and bumped into him from the side, looking like he was going to knock Lu Wenbin down directly, not rushing to the ball at all.
Lu Wenbin saw Rolfes's movements in the corner of his eyes, and felt that he was not grabbing the ball, but wanted to hit someone and give himself a dismount.
Lu Wenbin, whose physique had been increased to 18/18, suddenly snorted coldly, and did not dodge, but adjusted his center of gravity to stand firm, and at the moment when Rolfes collided with him, his legs and waist exerted force together, and he pushed back with his shoulders.
The 18/18 physique, the physical confrontation ability brought to Lu Wenbin, is no longer the weakness of the first half of the season.
Rolfes, who originally wanted to give Lu Wenbin a dismount, was unstable in his center of gravity during the run, but was directly pushed back by Lu Wenbin when he stood firm.
The huge force slumped to the side as he crashed into Rohr Feston, but he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.
However, Lu Wenbin only shook his upper body, and then received a pass from Copado and passed to Paldjic, completing a pass and receiving transfer.
Deackensen, the commentator of German sports television who broadcast the game live, commented in surprise: "Just two minutes into the game, Rolfes was ready to charge Lu, probably trying to give Lue a dismount. Unexpectedly, Lou was still standing firmly, but Rolfes himself fell to the ground. In the first half of the season, Lue looked weak, but now he can fight against a full-time defensive midfielder like Rolfes, and he has knocked the opponent down. The speed at which Lou's body is growing is truly amazing! ”
More than 3,000 away fans came to Hoffenheim for this game, occupying a corner of the stands.
Seeing this scene on the court, everyone immediately laughed, applauding Lu Wenbin and laughing at Rolfes's embarrassment.
The Leverkusen fans at home were a little unbearable to look at directly, but they didn't expect that Rolfes, a full-time defensive defender, would miss and be knocked down by Lu Wenbin, who didn't look tall and strong.
On the court, the disgraced Rolfes got up silently, and he didn't have the face to deliberately find fault anymore, so he could only concentrate on defending Lu Wenbin with real defensive skills.
The game continued.
Although the opponent has two or three people defending him at any time, Lu Wenbin can still get an occasional shot on goal.
In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin shook off the close marking of Rolfes and Friedrich, ran out of a gap on the left side of the big forbidden area, and received a pass from captain Salihovic and kicked the goal.
However, it was blocked by Bayer Leverkusen defender Sinkivic, who returned to the defense in time, and blocked the bottom line by flying to block the gun's eye.
In the 19th minute, Lu Wenbin originally ran a better gap in the forbidden area, and Rolfes, Friedrich and others were thrown away by him by more than 3 meters.
If he receives the ball, Lu Wenbin will not even interfere with the goal.
As a result, Paljic, who was holding the ball, did not pass the ball accurately under the interference of the opposing defender and passed behind Lu Wenbin.
When Lu Wenbin stopped sharply and turned to stabilize the ball, the way to shoot was also blocked, and Lu Wenbin could only pass back to Copado, who was outside the forbidden area.
Pulgic's passing ability is still a little worse than midfielders such as Salihovic.
While Hoffenheim continued to put pressure on Leverkusen's goal, Leverkusen, who also wanted revenge, was also attacking Hoffenheim's backline.
However, today Nelson was very excited.
He was out of action for two months after being injured in the game against Bayer Leverkusen, and facing his old enemy again, Nelson certainly did not perform well.
Although he has just made a comeback and is still a little unfamiliar with Jankel's cooperation, his individual performance has made up for the lack of cooperation.
In the 23rd minute, Bayer Leverkusen striker Augusto tried to break through him with the ball, but he was tackled to the ground with an accurate and vicious tackle.
But he tackled the ball head-on, and he tackled the ball first, shoveled it to Gustavo and then brought it down Augusto, which was a standard and beautiful tackle.
The referee didn't even blow for a foul, and without awarding a free kick to Leverkusen, he signaled for the game to continue.
The fans at Bayer Leverkusen booed Nelsson and the referee: they thought Nelsson had committed a foul.
But the Hoffenheim fans applauded Nelsson's brilliant performance and the referee's decision.
The game continued.
In the 31st minute, Copado was pulled down from behind after breaking through Bayer Leverkusen Frijns in front, and the referee awarded Hoffenheim a free-kick in front.
The location is about 33 meters from the goal, which is a little far away, but the location is good.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin opened the special skill of the free kick system, and the system took the penalty.
The system controls Lu Wenbin's body to take a free kick over the wall and go straight to the upper right corner of the goal, and if no one seems to stop it, it will drill into the goal from the dead corner.
It turned out that the free-kick was indeed a bit far away, giving goalkeeper Adler plenty of time to react.
In addition, he predicted the right direction in advance, rushed to the right side in time to lift up, and the ball did not hit the goal, but hit the crossbar and bounced back into the forbidden area.
The ball that fell into the penalty zone caused chaos, with Paljic, Demba Ba, Salihovic and others all battling with the opposing defenders in the zone, and the ball bouncing around irregularly in the zone.
Just when Lu Wenbin couldn't help but want to rush into the forbidden area to grab the ball, the ball suddenly stood out from the crowd and drilled into the goal.
Then, Demba Ba rushed out of the crowd in the forbidden zone with his hands raised and celebrated.
It turned out that it was Demba Ba who touched the ball in the confusion and stabbed it into the goal.
Hoffenheim took the lead with a 1-0 lead at Bayer Leverkusen on the road.
Although it was not Lu Wenbin's assist, it was his free kick that caused the opponent's forbidden area chaos, which gave Demba Ba a fatal opportunity in the chaos, and Lu Wenbin was partly credited.
Naturally, Bayer Leverkusen will not be willing to fall behind and fail, and they launched a ferocious counterattack.
Among them, Leverkusen's striker Kroos, who was on loan from Bayern Munich, performed well and made a significant contribution to Leverkusen's counterattack.
This is a player who was also born in 90 and is the same age as Lu Wenbin.
If it weren't for Lu Wenbin, Kroos would have been a rising talent in German football, but now under Lu Wenbin's starlight, a young player of Kroos' level doesn't get much attention at all.
However, this will not erase Kroos's own strength, and his performance is still outstanding among his peers.
