Chapter 233: The Brave Wins When Meets on a Narrow Road (600 Plus for the Monthly Pass)
When Bayer Leverkusen scored their seventh goal of the game in the 81st minute, the commentators and neutral spectators went crazy.
7 goals were scored in one game, and the two sides repeatedly led and equalized, and then led and equalized, which is really adrenaline-pumping!
While Bayer Leverkusen supporters and neutral spectators alike were excited, Bayer Leverkusen coach Labadia walked to the sidelines after celebrating his goal and made a gesture to his players to retreat to the defence.
After the goal celebration, it was already the 82nd minute, and Labadia wanted to hold on to the one-goal lead until the end of the game.
However, Labadia's approach proved wrong after the game.
Originally, the players on the field of Leverkusen were also fighting hard against the offensive battle and wanted to fight Hoffenheim to the end, but they didn't expect the manager to tell them to retreat to defend and want to keep the one-goal lead until the end of the game.
Isn't this the first to show weakness?
Perhaps Labadia's idea is not to show weakness, but to retreat strategically, but it is seen by the Bayer Leverkusen players on the pitch.
Instead of taking advantage of the loopholes in the opponent's back line to continue to attack and expand the lead, but take the initiative to retreat and defend, this is the first to show weakness!
In Chinese terms, it is now a narrow road for the brave to win, and Bayer Leverkusen coach Labadia did not take into account the emotions of the players on the field and made the wrong decision.
As a result, Bayer Leverkusen's players suddenly felt a little frustrated and couldn't figure it out.
Of course, I can't figure it out, after all, they are the leading side, and they will not collapse, but they still faithfully carry out the manager's tactical task, and want to keep the one-goal lead until the end of the game.
On the Hoffenheim side, after seeing the opponent retreat, the backline, which had been beaten into a sieve, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, with a big wave of Ralph's hand, everyone pressed forward as a whole and launched a fierce attack on the Bayer Leverkusen goal.
Even central defenders Jankel and Compel pressed to the halfway line.
In the 83rd minute, Hoffenheim won a free kick, and Lu Wenbin's own free kick hit the goal frame, but it was saved by goalkeeper Adler, causing a sigh in the stands.
In the 85th minute, Salihovic's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was deflected off the Bayer Leverkusen player, and both had already avoided Adler's save, but was cleared by the goal-line header from full-back Katri, who was standing at the back post.
After Bayer Leverkusen gave up attacking and the momentum fell, they were almost blocked by Hoffenheim in their half of the siege, and they couldn't counterattack even if they wanted to.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, continued to attack, and everyone was unwilling to score three goals and lose the game.
Through continuous onslaught and pressure, the Bayer Leverkusen players finally made a mistake in the 90th minute.
In the 90th minute, Lu Wenbin took a step into the forbidden area after receiving a pass from Salihovic on the big forbidden area, ready to shoot with his feet, but was tackled by Friedrich on his side and tackled in the forbidden area.
Friedrich didn't tackle the ball, but took Lu Wenbin down.
Lu Wenbin's fall to the ground made the hearts of Hoffenheim players and fans tug at once, for fear of serious injuries similar to Ibisevic and Nelson.
If Lu Wenbin is seriously injured, it will be a bigger blow to the team than the injuries of Ibisevic, Nilsson and others.
As a result, the agitated Eduardo and others almost clashed with Bayer Leverkusen's players.
Fortunately, after the referee blew for the penalty and gave Friedrich a yellow card, Lu Wenbin got up from the ground, moved his legs and feet, and signaled to his teammates that he was okay.
However, the people at Leverkusen quit again.
Being awarded a penalty at this point in time is simply asking for Leverkusen's life!
Friedrich and Bayer Leverkusen's players pressed the referee as hard as they could, saying that Lu Wenbin's fall was on the line of the big no-go zone, not the no-go, and that the ball should not be a penalty.
However, the referee insisted that Lu Wenbin was tackled by Friedrich after he had already stepped into the penalty zone, and it was a penalty kick.
Moreover, the referee also showed a yellow card to the Bayer Leverkusen player who pressured him, and reached out to the fart pocket with the red card, signaling that he would show the red card directly if he besieged him again.
As a last resort, Bayer Leverkusen's men could only disperse with indignation, and Labadia thundered on the sidelines but to no avail.
His contraction tactics led to the team being besieged by Hoffenheim and making a big mistake, only to regret it too late.
Then, Lu Wenbin on the court picked up the ball and put it on the penalty spot, ready to take the penalty himself.
Other teammates will not come to fight with Lu Wenbin, who is now the first penalty taker from set-pieces. Not to mention that this is a penalty created by him himself, the penalty created by others is also taken by Lu Wenbin.
After the referee blew the whistle for a penalty, Lu Wenbin's 20/20 shot went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal, and Adler even made a mistake in the direction.
In the 90th minute, Hoffenheim again stubbornly equalized the score, and the score became a 4-4 draw.
There were no more people sitting in the entire Rhein Neckar Arena, whether it was the spectators or the president and manager of the club who stood up, applauding, cheering, screaming, and the whole stadium was like boiling water.
The commentators on the commentary table also shouted:
"The ball is in! The penalty is in! Lue scored a brace to equalize for Hoffenheim! ”
"Miracle, Hoffenheim fell behind four times and equalized four times!"
"Crazy game, 8 goals scored by both sides! Blessed are the viewers who tune in to watch this game today! ”
"Seeing that the game is about to end, but the opponent has scored a penalty, Leverkusen's supporters must have been very disappointed!"
Indeed, not only the Leverkusen fans, but also the players on their pitch are very frustrated.
The victory that was about to arrive turned into a draw, and the three points became one point, which naturally made people very unhappy.
However, they don't know yet that the whole Hoffenheim team, which has been completely in the excitement, is not satisfied with even one point, they have not stopped the pace of attack, they don't want one point, they want to win, they want three points.
Lu Wenbin didn't even celebrate after scoring the goal, but rushed to the goal to pick up the ball and ran to the halfway line, just high-fived his teammates in the middle of the way to celebrate, and then put the ball back in the center circle, signaling Leverkusen to hurry up.
The Bayer Leverkusen players, who had already been discouraged by Labadia's shrinking defensive tactics, were now equalized by Hoffenheim, and their morale plummeted.
Bayer Leverkusen still didn't have any decent attack in the final minutes, and they were quickly cut off by Gustavo after the restart, and then besieged by Hoffenheim in their own half.
