At the Berlin Olympic Sports Center, the German Cup final between Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen is underway.
In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin created a short gap at the top of the penalty area. Eduardo, who was dribbling the ball and trying to shoot in the penalty area, cooperated well with him. After a feint, he passed the ball to him in time.
On the way, defender Naldo tried to stretch his legs to intercept the ball, but he missed it by a hair's breadth and the ball rolled past his toes.
Lu Wenbin, who briefly got rid of Baumann and Pledel, received the ball and made a powerful shot from outside the penalty area. The ball passed through the crowded penalty area like lightning, and no Bremen player had time to touch the ball to clear it.
The ball went straight to the lower left corner, and goalkeeper Wiese, who had just been attracted by Eduardo, was on the right side of the goal.
By the time he rushed back, it was too late and he could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin scored the first goal for Hoffenheim, leading Werder Bremen 1-0 and scoring his 80th goal for the club this season.
Suddenly, the stands were filled with warm applause, cheers and screams from Hoffenheim fans, and many neutral fans also stood up and applauded Lu Wenbin.
Many commentators in the commentary booth shouted at the top of their lungs:
"The ball goes in, Lu scored again! 80 goals, Lu scored his 80th goal of the season and helped Hoffenheim lead Werder Bremen 1-0 in the final!"
"80 goals in one season. After Lu Wenbin broke Gerd Muller's record of 67 goals, he not only broke the 70-goal mark, but now he has broken the 80-goal mark!"
"No one can stop the terrifying super shooter Lu! Even if two or three people are used to mark him, it won't work! Lu, who just turned 19, has raised the club's total number of goals in a single season to 80!"
"There is no doubt that Lu is the hottest shooter in today's football world! If you are a top club that wants to win the championship next season, you should extend an olive branch to Lu!"
Indeed, sitting in the stands at this time were not only fans and Football Association officials, but also countless scouts, managers, coaches and so on from top teams.
They looked at Lu Wenbin celebrating wildly on the field after scoring a goal with shining eyes, and everyone wanted to recruit Lu Wenbin to play for their team.
With such a goal-scoring efficiency, he can kill anyone who stands in his way!
Moreover, if Lu Wenbin can lead the team to win the championship today, there is another important attractive factor, that is, Lu Wenbin has won the championship in all the competitions he participated in!
Except for only participating in a few games in the Hoffenheim U19 youth team league, Lu Wenbin has won all the championships, whether it is the domestic high school league in China or the professional league and cup competitions after coming to Germany!
In other words, Lu Wenbin is equal to the champion!
Although it is a bit superstitious, in the face of Lu Wenbin's powerful goal-scoring efficiency, it seems natural and scientific!
There is no shortage of other very efficient super shooters in football, but they cannot guarantee leading the team to win the championship, but Lu Wenbin did it.
Although he has been in Germany for less than two years, Lu Wenbin has led a little-known country club to potentially win five championships, including the treble, as well as heavyweight championships such as the UEFA Cup and the Bundesliga.
Lu Wenbin’s role in winning the championship is evident!
Of course, the German Cup championship cannot be determined today, and Hoffenheim’s treble has not yet been achieved.
Although everyone thinks Werder Bremen is doomed, the game is not over yet, so we have to wait a little longer!
On the field, after the game resumed, Hoffenheim, who was leading in the score, played more easily.
As for Werder Bremen, it is a bit painful.
Lu Wenbin, whose off-ball running increased to 20/20, made them feel more difficult to defend than in the previous league and League Cup, and they dared not let Lu Wenbin run freely in their backcourt.
But now they are behind in the score, and they have to find a way to attack and equalize the score.
Otherwise, if the game ended with this score, they would still lose even if Lu Wenbin didn't score any more goals.
Fortunately, they were only one goal behind, so the Bremen players were not too panicked.
The difference of one goal, sometimes a lucky long shot or an own goal by the opponent can make the goal, so we still need to stabilize the defense and not let Hoffenheim score more goals.
So, in the next game Hoffenheim continued to press Werder Bremen, and it seemed that they would soon score the second goal to seal the victory.
However, there are often situations on the field where a team has the advantage but fails to score, and Hoffenheim is facing such a situation now.
In the 21st minute, Hoffenheim got a corner kick, and Eduardo used the corner kick tactic with Lu Wenbin as the first landing point.
As a result, although Lu Wenbin used his strong physique to push past two defenders and get the first point, the ball he headed flew high over the crossbar.
Lu Wenbin's heading technique and attacking accuracy still need to be improved.
In the 27th minute, Salihovic made a cross from the bottom, and Paljic got the first point in the penalty area and headed the ball, but it was saved by goalkeeper Wiese.
Demba Ba got to the second point and kicked the ball, but Wiese actually opened his arms and made two consecutive saves on the ground, blocking Demba Ba's follow-up shot.
Even Lu Wenbin felt as if he had seen a god when he saw Wei Ze standing up after completing two consecutive dives.
Hoffenheim's bad luck continues.
In the 34th minute, Eduardo's breakthrough resulted in a free kick at an excellent distance outside the penalty area. As a result, the free kick taken by Lu Wenbin with the system skill was hit by the head of Naldo, a 195cm defender in the wall.
The ball changed its course, went out of the goal frame and flew out of the baseline.
This was the first time that a free kick sent by the system was blocked by the human wall. Lu Wenbin could only slap his forehead and curse his bad luck.
While Hoffenheim continued to attack, Werder Bremen was still able to occasionally launch a counterattack.
They don't want to surrender.
However, the few counterattacks before this failed to score a goal and posed no threat.
But in the 42nd minute, their counterattack resulted in a goal.
Demba Ba was about to pass the ball to Lu Wenbin on the wing, but Bremen captain Baumann spotted it and snatched the ball away in advance and passed it to Brazilian midfielder Cunha.
Cunha started a counterattack from the wing with the ball, broke through the full-back Jaisler and made a cross from the bottom, causing chaos in Hoffenheim's penalty area.
The first point was grabbed by Bremen striker Rosenberg, but his header was saved by Ozcan who reacted quickly and the ball fell into the small penalty area.
Nelson, who was closest to the ball, subconsciously raised his right leg and kicked the ball out of the penalty area.
As luck would have it, Nelson's big foot kicked the ball into the buttocks of Yankel who turned around to avoid it, and the ball bounced towards the goal.
All Hoffenheim players were caught off guard and had no time to block it. They could only watch the ball bounce into the empty goal created by Ozcan who fell to the ground to save the ball.
