After waiting for a few seconds, the referee blew the whistle for the free throw, and Lu Wenbin, under the control of the system, started to run.
Then, under the attention of countless fans at the scene and in front of the TV, Lu Wenbin kicked the football.
The football flew into the air, passed over the heads of the jumping crowd, spun in an arc and went into the upper right corner of the goal.
Although goalkeeper Ziegler rushed over from the far end, he was powerless to do anything as the ball went straight into the blind corner and could only watch the ball go into the net.
Dickenson in the German Sports TV studio watched Lu Wenbin's free kick go directly into the dead corner, and he stood up excitedly and shouted:
“Toooooooooooooooooooooooor…”
"Free kick! Direct free kick! Lu scored a beautiful direct free kick in the 91st minute of the game during stoppage time! Lu changed the situation all by himself!"
"This game belongs to Lu alone! When Hoffenheim fell behind three times, he helped Hoffenheim tie the score three times with two goals and one assist. Now the two sides are tied 3-3!"
"Lu's ability is so comprehensive, from volleying in the penalty area, faking shots and passing to assist teammates, to scoring from free kicks. Regardless of whether Hoffenheim can advance in this game, I am sure that this will definitely be the battle that makes Lu famous. From today on, Lu will be famous in Germany and even in Europe."
"It is said that Lu doesn't have an agent yet. German agents and agencies, are you ready to compete with big-name agents and agencies from all over Europe for the future superstar Lu?"
In fact, Lu Wenbin's performance of scoring goals every time in the German Second Division has already attracted the attention of all German brokerage companies and agents.
However, in the early days, only the small agents went to Lu Wenbin, but they were all rejected by Lu Wenbin.
Now that the competition has been tested by the Bundesliga giants Dortmund, it is foreseeable what kind of battle will be waged by large agents and agencies from Germany and even other European countries.
However, these things behind the scenes have nothing to do with ordinary fans, they only care about the current goals and scores.
On the pitch and in front of the TV, countless Dortmund fans could only hold their heads and sigh as they watched the ball scored by Lu Wenbin into the goal. The Dortmund players on the field were also stunned!
It seemed that they were about to win and advance to the semi-finals as the game entered the overtime period, but they unexpectedly let a free kick from someone else equalize the score.
What is even more unexpected is that the focus of the German Cup quarter-final held at the Westfalen Stadium was actually a 17-year-old young player from China, Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin actually performed amazingly in this away game against Bundesliga giants Dortmund, scoring two goals and making one assist.
At the Westfalen Stadium, even among the Bundesliga Golden Boot winners and even the Champions League Golden Boot winners, few can perform as amazingly as Lu Wenbin.
What's more, Lu Wenbin is just a player of the German second division team and he is only 17 years old.
The key is that he can not only score goals, but he can also pass the ball and assist, and he has a precision-guided free kick.
It's simply a monster!
Eduardo rushed out of the penalty area and knocked Lu Wenbin to the ground as he was about to rush to the sidelines to celebrate. He shouted in his ear, "Lu, you actually scored a goal. That's amazing!"
Then, other teammates also rushed over, pressed on Lu Wenbin and Eduardo, and celebrated by stacking them up.
Ralph, Matthews, substitute players, etc. on the sidelines also rushed out of the bench and celebrated wildly on the sidelines.
There were also a few hundred Hoffenheim fans in the stands, roaring and screaming wildly in celebration!
By the time Hoffenheim's players ended their celebration due to the intervention of the referee and returned to their own half to prepare for kick-off, the time had already reached the 92nd minute.
The game was extended by 4 minutes, leaving just over a minute left until the end of the game.
The Dortmund players were listless, with dull eyes, and were stunned by Lu Wenbin's direct free kick.
Their focus was no longer on the remaining one minute or so of the game, but on the subsequent overtime.
Logically speaking, their idea is correct.
After the goal in the 91st minute and the time wasted by Hoffenheim in celebrating the goal, it was indeed difficult for Dortmund to score another goal and defeat Hoffenheim.
Therefore, it is understandable that Dortmund players put their minds on overtime in advance.
However, Lu Wenbin doesn't think so.
When he saw Dortmund's players casually passing the ball back after kicking off, Lu Wenbin waved to Ibrahimovic and others around him, and quickly crossed the center line and rushed towards the opponent's half.
He is going to press in the frontcourt.
If Hoffenheim could have snatched the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack, perhaps they would have been able to reverse Dortmund and end the battle within regular time.
Seeing that Lu Wenbin was still pursuing a goal with only a short time left, Ibrahimovic, Eduardo and others did not hold Lu Wenbin back and rushed forward.
Lu Wenbin's continued outstanding performance and leadership aura have made his influence in the Hoffenheim team increasingly greater.
Now, he can get his teammates to follow him with just a gesture.
Of course, Lu Wenbin only has 4/7 defense, so there is no need to expect him to directly grab the ball from the opponent's feet. He can only hope to force the opponent to make mistakes in the backcourt through the coordinated pressing of his teammates.
However, Dortmund players did not expect that with so little time left, Lu Wenbin and others would come up to grab the ball.
It's already the 92nd minute. Shouldn't they be saving their energy and preparing for overtime
Under the pressure of Lu Wenbin, Ibisevic, Eduardo, and even Seitz and Copado, Dortmund's space for passing the ball in the backcourt became smaller and the passing time became shorter.
Under pressure from Seitz, Dortmund full-back Kovac passed the ball back to center back Amedik, but Lu Wenbin immediately pressed towards Amedik, and Amedik could only pass the ball to his 22-year-old center back partner Hunemayer.
However, Hunemayer was also facing pressure from Hoffenheim striker Ibisevic.
Hoffenheim right winger Copado was pressing near right back Burzenska.
For a moment, the 22-year-old, inexperienced Hunemayer was in a dilemma and his mind went blank. Without much thought, he kicked the ball back towards the goal.
His goal is to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.
However, in his hasty return pass, Hunemayer's pass did not hit the right spot but missed the target.
The ball was kicked by Hunemayer to a place not far in front of Lu Wenbin and Amedik, just one step away from the penalty area.
Amedik was horrified and rushed towards the direction of the ball.
However, Lu Wenbin, who was trying to force his opponent to make mistakes and see if he could take advantage in the last minute, was faster than Amedik.
Seeing Hunemayer kick the ball back to the goalkeeper but it swished, Lu Wenbin started instantly, took a step forward to block Amedik behind him, and rushed quickly in the direction of the ball.
