Chapter 250: One Hit Fatal (1000 Plus for Monthly Pass)
At the scene, Hoffenheim's celebration lasted for more than a minute before the referee reminded him to end the celebration and continue to start the game.
If you celebrate for such a long time, I'm afraid you will be shown a yellow card by the referee.
However, the significance of Lu Wenbin's goal this time was different, so the referee was also a lot more relaxed.
But for Hoffenheim's opponents, Bochum, Lu's record, while respectable, is not something to be happy about, as they are behind by the score.
For Bochum, who are on the verge of relegation, every point is precious, not to mention that they want to take advantage of the fact that most of Hoffenheim's main players are not on the table to get three points!
So, after the game resumed, Bochum continued to attack according to Hoffenheim's backline.
The cooperation between Compel and Jankel is not very tacit, plus the fullbacks have also been changed, and the back has also been changed, and Hoffenheim's backline does have a lot of holes.
In the 42nd minute, Bochum finally made a breakthrough on Volsa through repeated attempts.
Bochum striker Hashmian got past a catch-off Volsa with a beautiful bulltail feint before striking home from the big no-go.
The ball flew through the no-go zone and into the Hoffenheim goal, where Daniel Haas made a save, but couldn't even touch the ball.
Bochum equalised and the score became 2-2 and Bochum players and fans celebrated enthusiastically.
Not long after the restart, the first half of the game was over.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Unexpectedly, just ten minutes into the second half, Hoffenheim had to fight with one less man.
The Bochum team played quite hard because they were going to be relegated. Technically, they can't compare to Hoffenheim, the first in the Bundesliga, and they have amplified a lot in action.
In the 52nd minute, Eduardo was stealthily stepped on by Bochum midfielder Grote when he broke through with the ball and lost the ball, but he was not seen by the referee and was not whistled for a foul.
Eduardo, who was banned for two games for fighting with Ibisevic before the start of the season, has always been a violent temper, and this time when he saw that the opponent had committed a foul and had not been punished, Eduardo held a grudge.
So, in the 59th minute, Jankel cut off the ball of Bochum striker Sestak and cleared it to the midfield, and when Eduardo and Grote jumped up and fought for the top at the same time, Eduardo raised his hand and hit a hard elbow, and Grote fainted.
This action is too obvious, and the nature is too bad.
Eduardo was undoubtedly sent off with a straight red card and could face an additional post-match ban.
Grote was also taken off on a stretcher and replaced with Japanese midfielder Shinji Ono.
If it is the beginning of the season, the Japanese media may still hype up the East Asian derby between Lu Wenbin and Shinji Ono.
However, so far in the season, Shinji Ono, who is a substitute for the Bochum team, has not scored a single goal, and Lu Wenbin has scored more than 60 goals, which is not at the same level at all.
Therefore, neither the Japanese nor the Chinese media hyped the East Asian derby between Lu Wenbin and Shinji Ono in this match.
The Japanese media is faceless hype, and they are slightly more faceless than the Koreans. The Chinese media, on the other hand, disdain the hype.
Now that Lu Wenbin's competitors are all European and American stars, even legendary superstars and all-time record holders like Gerd Muller, there is no football player in Asia who can compare with Lu Wenbin.
After Eduardo was sent off, Ralph replaced the lackluster Obasi with Salihovic.
With a numerical advantage and a substitution of the opponent's striker, Bochum finally had their hands free and began to fight back.
They are no longer satisfied with a 2-2 draw and want to come back and win.
Bochum's continuous attacking attack finally caused Hoffenheim to make another mistake in the 72nd minute.
Goalkeeper Daniel Haas, who had not started for a long time, did not save the ball in the face of Bochum striker Epale's one-on-one breakthrough in the forbidden area, and then, in a hurry to lose the ball, he grabbed Epale's foot directly from the side, pulled Epale down hard, and fell two or three meters.
Haas was not surprised to be sent off by the referee and Ralph had to replace centre-forward Sanogo with Hildebrand, who wanted Hildebrand to defend the penalty.
The result was unbelievable that Hildebrand, who rushed on the pitch without even warming up, saved Epale's penalty directly.
Bochum didn't even take a penalty kick, and the score was still 2-2.
However, Hoffenheim has been sent off by two red cards, becoming 9 to 11, and there is only Lu Wenbin on the front line.
For the first time, Lu Wenbin became a lone striker at Hoffenheim.
Bochum, who urgently needed points to be relegated, but did not even score a penalty, naturally became more and more impatient, and Hoffenheim's three forwards became a single striker, and the Bochum team pressed even higher, and the two full-backs rushed to the front to help attack.
The back who was originally guarding Lu Wenbin also threw Lu Wenbin to two central defenders, and often rushed to the front to participate in assists.
But the veteran goalkeeper who saved the penalty was brilliant today, from the 72nd minute to the 87th minute, he not only saved a penalty from his opponent, but also saved three consecutive goal-framed sports shots in 15 minutes, much to the madness of Bochum's players and fans.
But that's not the maddening thing.
The most frustrating thing is that Bochum's aggressive pressure has created a large area of space in the backfield.
Just when they thought that they could score another goal to lead Hoffenheim by relying on their numerical advantage and continuous attack, in the 88th minute, Hoffenheim's counterattack was fatal and penetrated the Bochum goal.
In the 87th minute, Hildebrand chose the right position and directly held Shinji Ono's long-range shot, and then threw the ball to full-back Ibertsberg.
Ibertsberg took the ball and looked up, then passed the ball to Salihovic in the midfield with a long pass, and Salihovic went straight to the front of the Bochum team, Lu Wenbin successfully countered offside and went straight to the ball.
Although central defenders Pfeiser and Mafraj did their best to chase back, and Lu Wenbin caught up with him when he received the ball at the edge of the big ban' zone, charging and pinching him from both sides.
However, Lu Wenbin used his 17/18 physique to resist the collision of the two, stabilize his body balance, and then stabbed the ball in the run, and the ball passed under the crotch of the attacking goalkeeper Fernandez and rolled directly into the goal.
In the 88th minute, Hoffenheim, who only played with only nine men, not only resisted the onslaught of the Bochum team, but also scored a third goal through a quick counterattack involving only four people from the goalkeeper to Lu Wenbin, leading the Bochum team 3-2.
