On the court, Lu Wenbin encouraged his teammates one by one, asking them to cheer up and continue the game.
As long as Bayern doesn't continue to score goals and they give him another chance to shoot in the frontcourt, he will definitely score.
With the encouragement of Lu Wenbin, who has a leadership aura, Hoffenheim's players regained some morale.
The strength that Lu Wenbin has demonstrated in the previous ten games has given his teammates some confidence and hope.
As long as the backcourt does not lose the ball again and the frontcourt can create more shooting opportunities for Lu Wenbin, it is possible that Lu Wenbin will score again to help the team equalize the score.
After the game resumed, Bayern Munich calmed down a little.
After all, no team can maintain a high-intensity attack for the entire 90 minutes of the game.
Bayern had no choice but to keep attacking before. They were the lagging side and wanted to equalize or overtake, so they had to keep attacking.
Now that we have reversed the score and are leading Hoffenheim 2-1, we naturally need to slow down the pace and take a breath.
This also made Hoffenheim's defenders breathe a sigh of relief.
They were under great pressure after being attacked continuously by Bayern Munich for more than 70 minutes and only conceded two goals.
The three midfielders Salihovic, Copado and Eduardo, who were originally responsible for the attack, can finally devote more energy to the attack.
Hoffenheim began to switch from defense to offense, pressing forward and launching an attack on Bayern Munich's half, hoping to score a goal to equalize the score while Bayern's defense was tightened and its footing was not stable.
However, Bayern Munich is not an ordinary team. Among all European clubs, Bayern Munich's overall psychological quality is definitely among the best.
Their retreat was not a sign of discouragement, but a strategic retreat to rest. Hoffenheim was wrong to think that Bayern players were too tired to move and could attack aggressively.
In the 83rd minute, Hoffenheim, who were attacking aggressively, were almost intercepted by Bayern and counterattacked.
Salihovic was tackled by Sagnol while dribbling on the wing, the ball fell to Sousa's feet and then passed to Ribery.
After a few minutes' rest, Ribery regained his spirit. He rushed out instantly after getting the ball, passed Jancker and made a cross from the bottom. Luca Toni followed up in the middle and made a standard diving header.
Ribery's cross was powerful and Toni's header was standard. Daniel Haas had already surrendered, but this diving header hit the crossbar hard and bounced out of the bottom line.
Bayern fans in the stands groaned, and the commentators exclaimed: "It's the goalpost again. Bayern Munich has hit the goalpost for the third time today. If it weren't for the help of the goalpost, the game would have ended early. Hoffenheim is lucky."
Indeed, when Lu Wenbin saw Luca Toni heading the ball, he was already a little desperate.
Unexpectedly, the final header hit the crossbar, making Lu Wenbin gasp and feel like he had escaped death.
Since the goalposts of the Berlin Olympic Stadium helped, Lu Wenbin could not give up, even if the extra time was included and there were only about 10 minutes left to the end of the game.
As long as the final whistle has not sounded, Lu Wenbin cannot give up.
While the other teammates were still somewhat nervous, Lu Wenbin gathered the frontcourt players together and whispered:
"We were lucky today, the goalpost was always on our side. Therefore, even if we are behind now, we cannot give up. There are still about ten minutes left, and I guess I will still be closely watched by them. Therefore, I hope you can make more breakthroughs and try to create free kicks. If there is a chance, I will pass the ball to you and you can make the final shot."
Eduardo and others nodded, then dispersed. Goalkeeper Haas kicked the ball out and the game continued.
As Lu Wenbin expected, although Lu Wenbin did almost nothing in this game except for that lob shot from midfield, Bayern Munich did not relax their defense against him at all.
It was almost impossible for Salihovic and others to pass the ball to Lu Wenbin for him to shoot.
Therefore, Salihovic and others strengthened their personal dribbling and breakthroughs, intending to cause Bayern Munich to commit fouls and get free kick opportunities.
However, Bayern was well prepared for this and would not commit fouls easily. Instead, they used their strong overall strength to assist in defense and did not give Hoffenheim the opportunity to break into the penalty area or get a free kick.
As time passed, the Bayern fans in the stands stood up and began to sing excitedly in advance to celebrate their victory and the championship.
Although they only won 2-1 against the German second division team, a win is a win. The championship trophy is the most important thing. Bayern fans are not dissatisfied with anything, and it is not strange to celebrate in advance.
On the field, seeing that time was running out, Eduardo and others became a little anxious, and they acted recklessly and alone more often, which posed no threat to Bayern's goal.
Although Lu Wenbin was also very anxious, he knew that being anxious would not solve the problem, and he only needed one shooting opportunity.
Therefore, he used the opportunity of running to comfort Ibisevic and others one by one, telling them not to be anxious, to be more patient, to pay attention to his running position and the gaps in Bayern's penalty area, and to create opportunities for him to shoot.
With Lu Wenbin's comfort, Eduardo and others calmed down and became more patient. They were no longer in a hurry to rush into the penalty area, but patiently looked for opportunities to pass or shoot outside the penalty area.
Lu Wenbin tried his best to run back and forth, pulling the ball, trying to get rid of Oter and create space, so that he could receive the pass from his teammate and shoot.
Finally, when the time entered the stoppage time, Hoffenheim, who patiently looked for opportunities, made a beautiful and successful short pass.
At the front of Bayern's penalty area, Salihovic, Eduardo and Ibisevic passed the ball continuously and in the 92nd minute they sent the ball to Copado who cut in from the wing.
Through the continuous short passes of several people just now, Bayern Munich's formation was disrupted a little, and a gap finally appeared near the penalty spot facing the goal in the penalty area.
Then, Lu Wenbin, who was running towards the corner of the small penalty area with Oter, suddenly braked, turned and rushed towards the penalty spot, and Copado passed the ball in time.
"Stop him!" Rensing's face changed drastically, and he moved from the side of the goal to the middle while yelling.
If Lu Wenbin gets a chance to shoot from such a close and direct position, it will almost be a sure goal!
Ottel, who was following behind Lu Wenbin and was left a little behind by Lu Wenbin, had no time to think. He flew to the ground, intending to block Lu Wenbin's shooting path with his body.
Lucio, who had just been displaced by Ibrahimovic, turned back with a grim look on his face, fell to the ground and tackled the ball.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Wenbin, who was originally preparing to shoot, found it difficult for him to score.
Not to mention that Oter, who had already fallen to the ground, was blocking his shooting path, and Rensing was also guarding the goal.
Just because of Lucio's height and long legs, Lu Wenbin instinctively knew that if he tried to shoot normally, Lucio would probably shovel the ball away before he even touched it.
Therefore, without time to think, Lu Wenbin had to fly towards the ball like Lucio.
No matter whether you can shoot or not, just touch the ball first.
