Brooks' idea was to use a reasonable collision outside the penalty area to knock down the thin-looking Lu Wenbin, resolve the crisis without committing a foul.
Lu Wenbin's height and body shape make him look easy to bully.
However, when Brooks hit Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin did not fall down, and even his running direction did not change.
Lu Wenbin just shook his upper body a little, and then continued to run in the direction of the ball while carrying Brooks who had collided with him.
The next moment, Lu Wenbin successfully entered the restricted area.
Brooks was shocked and quickly reached out and started pulling Lu Wenbin with his hands and feet, trying to interfere with Lu Wenbin's stop and shot.
However, Lu Wenbin was not disturbed by him.
In the penalty area, Lu Wenbin successfully received Eduardo's through pass.
Then, Lu Wenbin used his body to firmly separate Brook, who was using his hands and feet, to his side. After looking at the position of Rostock goalkeeper Barber, he raised his leg and pushed the ball into the far corner.
Barber's focus was on saving the ball in the near corner. After seeing Lu Wenbin's shot towards the far corner, he had no time to save the ball and could only sit down, hoping that his outstretched foot could disrupt Lu Wenbin's shot.
However, things went against his wishes. When Lu Wenbin shot the ball, he aimed at the blind corner. The ball rolled a little far from Barber's body. After Barber sat on the ground, his outstretched foot did not touch the rolling ball.
The ball rolled past Barber's toes, then quickly rolled into the far corner of the goal and into the net.
After maintaining his position and shooting the ball, Lu Wenbin was finally pulled down by Brooks.
But it was no use now.
Seeing the football successfully enter the net, Lu Wenbin immediately turned over and got up, shouting and rushing to the sidelines!
He wants to celebrate his first goal for the first team!
Behind Lu Wenbin, Carlos Eduardo, Vedad Ibisevic and other teammates gathered towards Lu Wenbin from all directions, and the coaches and substitute players on the bench also stood up and cheered to celebrate.
This was a goal that allowed Hoffenheim to regain the lead over the first-tier team Rostock, and even Tobias Weiss had to stand up and act happy and applaud in celebration.
In addition to the celebration of Lu Wenbin and his teammates, Hope Stadium also immediately became boiling. The applause and screams of more than 6,000 spectators rose to the sky, venting the excitement of the fans.
"pretty!"
"Cool!"
“We’re ahead again!”
Hoffenheim club chairman Dietmar Hopp in the box also showed a satisfied smile.
Lu Wenbin, the 17-year-old player he personally brought in from China, scored a goal against a Class A team in his first appearance as a substitute in the first team. His outstanding performance made him quite satisfied.
General Manager Rothhaus and others nearby also congratulated the boss, praising the chairman for his keen vision in discovering such a young talent from the Chinese high school campus league, which is known as a football desert.
Afterwards, the latest score was displayed on the big screen at the scene: Hoffenheim 2-1 Rostock, and below it was the words "83rd minute, Hoffenheim, No. 90 Lu Wenbin scored a goal."
At the same time, the commentator also announced to the audience in an excited tone: "In the 83rd minute, Hoffenheim scored a goal. The scorer is: No. 90 - Lu Wenbin!"
After hearing the commentator's explanation and seeing the pinyin of Lu Wenbin's name on the big screen, some fans who hadn't remembered Lu Wenbin's name remembered it and shouted in unison: "Lu-Lu-Lu!"
Lu Wenbin, who was celebrating with his teammates, was surrounded and praised by them. Listening to the audience cheering in unison, he felt refreshed all over.
This was the first time that Lu Wenbin experienced so many people shouting his name.
Lu Wenbin really enjoyed the feeling of having thousands of people shouting his name and being the center of attention.
At this moment, he felt like a real professional player.
This is just the home field of a country club with only more than 6,000 spectators.
How cool it would be if Lu Wenbin transferred to a wealthy club in the future, played in the top league or Champions League in super stadiums that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and scored goals, with ten times as many spectators as now cheering his name!
This further strengthened Lu Wenbin's ideal of playing in the top league, becoming a superstar and conquering Europe!
After Hoffenheim celebrated for a while, Rostock kicked off again.
Although Rostock does not care about this season's German Cup because they have to avoid relegation, it does not mean that they are indifferent to the fact that they are ahead of Hoffenheim, a second-tier team.
Therefore, after the restart, Rostock pressed forward as a whole, trying to equalize the score before the end of the game.
However, Ralf Rangnick immediately made a substitution, replacing Carlos Eduardo with a defensive midfielder. The two forwards also retreated to strengthen the defense, leaving Ibrahimovic and Lu Wenbin in the front waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
There was not much time left in the game, and Ralph was ready to defend until the end of the 90 minutes. In a few minutes, Ralph had every reason to do so.
However, Lu Wenbin did not want to give up, he wanted to continue performing.
Lu Wenbin was very excited by the thousands of spectators shouting his name just now. He also wanted to score a goal or get an assist.
In the 88th minute, Lu Wenbin received the ball cleared from the backcourt and tried to run a long distance with the ball.
However, after passing the first opponent, the ball was destroyed.
Lu Wenbin's current speed, dribbling, and physique no longer give him any advantages when facing Bundesliga teams. It is almost impossible for him to dribble past several players and score goals easily like he did in the domestic high school league.
After failing once, Lu Wenbin gave up this overestimating approach and strengthened his cooperation with Ibrahimovic.
In the 92nd minute, when the game was about to end, Lu Wenbin received another pass from the backcourt.
However, this time Lu Wenbin no longer insisted on breaking through Rostock's entire defense line by himself.
He didn't even pass anyone, and when he encountered the first opponent's interception, he quickly passed the ball to Ibisevic, and then ran forward without the ball.
Then, Lu Wenbin received the ball passed back by Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area: he and Ibrahimovic completed a two-pass combination.
However, at this time Lu Wenbin's position was a bit off and he was already outside the penalty area.
If Lu Wenbin wanted to shoot, the angle was very small, and there was an opponent's defender blocking Lu Wenbin's shooting path, and the opponent's goalkeeper was also ready to save the ball in the near corner.
It is not very likely to shoot from outside the penalty area, but if you want to break through the defender and shoot into the penalty area, the other players of Rostock will return to defense.
In a flash, Lu Wenbin gave up the idea of breaking into the penalty area and shooting the ball himself.
