On the field, 20 minutes into the game, neither Bayern Munich nor Hoffenheim were able to score a goal.
In the eyes of the commentators and most of the audience, the two sides were too far apart in level, strength and fame. It was not surprising that Hoffenheim did not score a goal, but it was a bit surprising that Bayern Munich did not score a goal.
It seems that this country club from the German second division was able to reach the final and defend the goal for 20 minutes without conceding a goal against Bayern. They are really capable.
However, everyone still does not think that Hoffenheim can be on par with Bayern Munich. They believe that Bayern will always score the first goal and take the lead.
Sure enough, in the 22nd minute, Bayern Munich came back and launched another attack, which lifted the spirits of Bayern's fans and supporters.
Scarface Frank Ribery, who won the French Footballer of the Year in 2007, dribbled the ball on the wing, broke through Hoffenheim's midfielder Copado and full-back Jaisler, and passed the ball to Kroos in the penalty area.
Kroos, who was also born in 1990 and is only a few months older than Lu Wenbin, calmly made a fake shot, shaking both central defender Nilsson and goalkeeper Haas.
As a result, Kroos passed the ball back to Schweinsteiger outside the penalty area.
The piglet shot the ball with all his might. The ball passed through the crowd in the penalty area like a cannonball and flew straight towards the goal.
Daniel Haas, who was shaken by Kroos, rushed from the other side of the goal and flew to save the ball, but found in despair that his palm could not reach the ball, and the ball flew past in front of and above Haas' palm.
In the commentary booth, many commentators stared with wide eyes, watching Bayern Munich's attack on the field and explaining:
"Ribery got the ball and started to dribble through. The speed of the scar warrior is a magic weapon for Bayern Munich to break through the wing this season!"
"Copado came up to intercept, but Ribery broke through with a simple dunk!"
"Ribery rushed down the wing and Copado couldn't catch up!"
"Full-back Nelson retreats and defends!"
"Oh, Nilsson was easily broken by Scar Warrior with a simple dribble. The speeds of the two players are not on the same level!"
"Pass the ball, Ribery broke through Nelson and passed the ball to Kroos in the penalty area!"
"Kroos shoots! No, it's a feint, he passes the ball back outside the penalty area!"
"Schweinsteiger, he's unguarded!"
"Just shoot from a distance without stopping the ball!"
When the commentators reached this point, their voices became louder and louder, and many people stood up, excitedly waiting for the first goal to be scored.
However, under the expectant gaze of the commentator, countless spectators and Bayern fans, the ball flew over the palm of goalkeeper Haas, but hit the crossbar and bounced out.
The commentators all screamed in regret, "Oh my god, the ball didn't go in! Bayern Munich had such bad luck today. They hit the post twice in just 20 minutes!"
Indeed, this is terrible luck.
When the Bayern players saw the ball flying through Haas's hands, they were ready to celebrate, but unexpectedly the ball hit the crossbar instead.
Schweinsteiger couldn't help but slap his forehead, probably regretting why he didn't press the ball down a little bit when he shot.
Hoffenheim's players are still in shock, feeling like they have survived a disaster.
However, the central defender Jancker who was in the penalty area had no time to rejoice, because the bouncing ball was flying towards him, and he couldn't let the Bayern players grab the second shot!
Therefore, Yankel didn't even think about it, he just half turned around and kicked the bouncing ball hard towards the opponent's half.
As for where the ball goes and who gets it, it is not something he can control.
Everyone in the penalty area was still feeling regretful or relieved, and no one interfered with Yancker. The ball that Yancker cleared with his big foot flew smoothly out of the penalty area and landed on the right side of the midfield.
After the ball flew out, everyone reacted and began to move towards the midfield. The players from both sides in the midfield began to chase the ball that had been cleared.
Ibisevic and Bayern defender Lehr rushed towards the landing point of the football at the same time. In the end, Ibisevic used his slightly higher height advantage to head the football and passed the ball to Copado who had just been easily broken through by Ribery.
At this time, in order to avoid offside, Lu Wenbin was forced to move to the midfield with Bayern's defense line. He found that it might be because Hoffenheim had not shot for a long time and Bayern was almost always attacking, Bayern's goalkeeper Rensing was standing a little forward and had already left the small penalty area and stood in the large penalty area.
Lu Wenbin felt this was an opportunity.
Although he lacks strength and the ball he kicks is not fast, he cannot hit the target from such a long distance.
But he has a 20/20 shooting attribute and can try his best to control the shot within the goal frame, which makes him much more likely to shoot from midfield than others.
If he had kicked the ball accurately and made a high-quality lob shot, Rensing, who was retreating in a hurry, might not have been able to touch the ball.
Although it is a bit of a matter of luck, luck is a very important factor in football.
Bayern Munich hit the post twice in 20 minutes. Does this prove that luck is on Hoffenheim's side today
Is it because God saw that Bayern Munich had won too many games and there was no sense of surprise, so he wanted to create an upset and give a surprise to the neutral audience who were watching the fun
With this thought in mind, Lu Wenbin suddenly started and ran towards Copado on the wing, shouting to Copado as he ran: "Copado, here!"
Ottl, who was behind him, listened to Lu Wenbin's call and chased him closely while preparing to defend. He thought to himself, "He's asking for the ball here. Could he be trying to dribble through?"
While thinking about Oter, he wanted to laugh in his heart. With Lu Wenbin's speed and dribbling skills, it would be difficult for him to break through, not to mention that there were Lucio, Van Buyten and others behind him.
However, even though he thought so, Ottel still remembered that Lu Wenbin had an abnormal record of scoring goals in every game, so he did not dare to be careless.
Therefore, he followed Lu Wenbin's running route and leaned a little towards his own half, preparing to occupy a favorable position in advance to prevent Lu Wenbin from dribbling from the wing after receiving the ball.
However, Lu Wenbin had no intention of dribbling the ball from the midfield and breaking through to the penalty area to shoot. No one on or off the field had thought of his target at this time.
Since joining Hoffenheim's first team, Lu Wenbin has always played the role of a second striker, almost always waiting inside or outside the penalty area for his teammates to pass the ball and shoot. Long shots of more than 30 meters outside the penalty area are rare, let alone lobs of more than 40 meters.
Rensing was not on guard at all. He still stood in the large penalty area, indifferent, and had no intention of retreating to the small penalty area to take precautions.
Most goalkeepers don't have that awareness at such a long distance. If it was Schalke 04's goalkeeper Neuer, he would have probably been standing on the penalty area line by now.
Rensing did not stand on the penalty area line, which means he is a relatively cautious goalkeeper.
