The contradiction between Lu Wenbin and Demba Ba after the goal was naturally noticed by the players of Offenbach. The players of Offenbach judged that Lu Wenbin's pass was just an accident.
Therefore, after the restart, the players of Hoffenheim continued to keep a close eye on Lu Wenbin and were not so strict in guarding Demba Ba.
Anyway, in the entire German 2nd Division, Lu Wenbin is now the most threatening star.
As a result, just 2 minutes later, they found out that they were wrong. Lu Wenbin's first pass was not accidental, but intentional.
In the 91st minute, Lu Wenbin received the ball outside the penalty area, made a 2-1 cooperation with Paljic, broke into the penalty area and shot, which again caused tension among the Offenbacher defenders.
The two defenders rushed towards Lu Wenbin together, and the goalkeeper also rushed to the near end to block Lu Wenbin's shot.
However, Lu Wenbin passed the ball to the other side. Demba Ba quickly entered the penalty area and slid to the ground before the Offenbach defender could clear the ball, and shoveled the ball towards the goal.
As Hoffenheim's players and coaches looked on with anticipation, Demba Ba's shot hit the goal post and bounced back into the penalty area, where it was kicked out of the sideline by the Hoffenheim defender.
Demba Ba's shooting skills could never be as stable and accurate as Lu Wenbin's. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, wasting this excellent scoring opportunity.
Seeing that the ball did not go in, Demba Ba turned over and lay on the ground, pounding the ground repeatedly. You can imagine how frustrated he was.
Ralph and others on the sidelines also held their heads in their hands, feeling disappointed.
Lu Wenbin also looked depressed.
However, the game is not over yet and Demba Ba still needs to contribute. Lu Wenbin doesn't want him to lie on the ground and waste time.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin walked over, pulled Demba Ba, and said, "Get up, the game is not over yet!"
Demba Ba raised his head, looked at Lu Wenbin in surprise, got up and said, "Sorry, I wasted your pass!"
This surprised Lu Wenbin. He didn't expect Demba Ba to apologize.
Lu Wenbin took Demba Ba's main position, and as the winner he naturally had no resentment.
Therefore, when Lu Wenbin heard Demba Ba take the initiative to show his goodwill, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, continue the game, there is not much time left!"
Then, Lu Wenbin patted Demba Ba on the shoulder and walked to the sidelines with him, ready to intercept Offenbacher's sideline ball.
Ralph on the sidelines saw this scene and a smile appeared on his face.
Although Demba Ba missed a good chance to score a goal to reverse the game, his relationship with Lu Wenbin has eased, which is good for the team. It is also extremely beneficial for the team to fight on three fronts in the Bundesliga, UEFA Cup and German Cup next season.
After the restart, the anxious Lu Wenbin naturally wanted to grab the ball immediately and launch a counterattack to score a goal.
However, the players of Offenbach did not give Lu Wenbin this opportunity. As soon as the ball was kicked out from the sideline, they kicked it forward with a big kick, leaving Lu Wenbin helpless.
Demba Ba's last shot was already in injury time. Hoffenheim kicked the ball forward and the two sides fought in the midfield for more than a minute. Hoffenheim did not even get a second shot and the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Hoffenheim ultimately failed to reverse the game and drew 1-1 with Hoffenbacher.
Lu Wenbin closed his eyes in pain.
The team was already behind Borussia Mönchengladbach in points, and now he failed to score a single goal after coming on as a substitute. They failed to win the game they had to win and only got one point.
It seems that Hoffenheim has no chance of winning the Bundesliga 2 championship.
When leaving the field, the other players were still somewhat unwilling to accept the result, but Lu Wenbin had a look of grief on his face, which moved the coach and teammates greatly.
Everyone thought that Lu Wenbin really had a lot of feelings for Hoffenheim, and was heartbroken to see that Hoffenheim failed to win the championship, so they came up to comfort Lu Wenbin!
No one knows the real reason for Lu Wenbin's pain!
…
In order to ensure that there is no collusion or even match-fixing, the last two rounds of the German Second Division will have nine games played simultaneously by eighteen teams.
When the match between Hoffenheim and Offenbacher ended, the other matches had either ended or were coming to an end.
As long as we haven't heard the final result of the game, Hoffenheim still has hope.
However, Borussia Mönchengladbach was playing at home, and Lu Wenbin subconsciously thought that Borussia Mönchengladbach would not fail, so he felt that Hoffenheim had no chance before hearing the result of the game.
However, the reality is that as the leader, Borussia Mönchengladbach is under greater pressure than Hoffenheim. They are overwhelmed by the fact that Hoffenheim is merely catching up in the standings.
As the opponent is Freiburg, which is ranked fifth, there is still hope for the third promotion qualification in the last two rounds.
So, just when Lu Wenbin felt desperate, the 33rd round home game between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Freiburg also ended. Borussia Mönchengladbach actually lost to Freiburg with a score of 2-3 and did not get a single point in this round of the league.
Calder, the goalkeeper coach in charge of this matter, was stunned for a moment after receiving the call, and then suddenly jumped up and shouted to the coaches and players who had just left the field: "Borussia Mönchengladbach lost, Borussia Mönchengladbach lost!"
Lu Wenbin, who was looking down and depressed, suddenly looked up and asked in disbelief: "What?"
The others also looked at Calder in surprise, a little unable to believe their ears.
Calder held up his phone and saw excitedly: "The game at Monchengladbach is over. They lost 2-3 to Freiburg at home! Now we have the same points as Monchengladbach, and we have surpassed them because of the advantage in goal difference and are ranked first!"
"What?" Lu Wenbin opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief.
Calder repeated loudly: "Borussia Mönchengladbach lost, and now we are ranked first in the standings!"
After confirming again that what he heard was correct, Lu Wenbin excitedly rushed towards Demba Ba, shouting: "We are first, thank you, Demba Ba."
He was so excited!
This is really a case of when you think there is no way out, but there is always a way out!
Fortunately, Demba Ba did not waste both of Lu Wenbin's passes. He at least scored one of them and tied the game with Hoffenheim.
Otherwise, even if they heard the news that Borussia Mönchengladbach made a mistake, Lu Wenbin and Hoffenheim could only stare blankly.
In addition to Lu Wenbin, other coaches and teammates were also very excited.
It was such a surprise.
Everyone thought that the championship was far away from them, but they at least got a draw and 1 point, while Borussia Mönchengladbach made a bigger mistake at home and lost the game, without getting any points.
After the penultimate round, Hoffenheim finally caught up with Borussia Mönchengladbach in the standings. The two teams had 63 points each, and Hoffenheim ranked first ahead of Borussia Mönchengladbach because of their huge goal difference advantage.
As long as Hoffenheim does not make any more mistakes in the last round of home games and defeats its opponents, it will definitely win the 2007/2008 Bundesliga championship and the double crown achievement.
It was really unexpected and surprising.
