The game resumed, and Lu Wenbin, who was concentrating on the game, indeed became more threatening.
Lu Wenbin now has perfect off-ball running, physique, and shooting, and his speed and dribbling are also good.
As long as he performs normally and his teammates pass the ball to the right place, it is easy to score goals.
Finally, in the 34th minute, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Eduardo outside the penalty area through a run, and then used his physique and speed to break into the penalty area and successfully shot.
Lu Wenbin finally scored a goal and helped Hoffenheim equalize the score.
Suddenly, all the fans cheered and applauded Lu Wenbin's goal. The leaders of China and Germany in the VIP box also smiled and applauded Lu Wenbin.
The Chinese leader came because he was there to cheer for Lu Wenbin, and the German leader came because Lu Wenbin's team represented Germany.
Lu Wenbin's goal naturally made the leaders of both countries very happy.
After seeing how powerful Lu Wenbin was, Sevilla strengthened its defense against Lu Wenbin.
However, the idea is good, but the defense of La Liga teams is poor, and it is useless even if they consciously improve their defense.
In the 45th minute, when the first half was about to end, Eduardo used a wonderful individual breakthrough to tear through Sevilla's defense, and then made a wonderful pass to Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin turned around and shot without stopping the ball in the penalty area. The ball passed under the crotch of defender Squillaci who was defending him and went into the blind corner of the goal.
The distance was too close, and goalkeeper Baras couldn't react in time. He couldn't even make a save and could only watch the ball go into the net.
Lu Wenbin scored twice in the last minute of the first half and helped Hoffenheim overtake the score.
The commentators shouted: "It's amazing, Lu scored twice again! Scoring twice in three consecutive Champions League games, it's like a god descending to earth!"
Indeed, including this brace, Lu Wenbin has scored twice in three consecutive Champions League games. He has only played three Champions League games, but his goal tally has reached 6, which is really amazing.
The Chinese vice president in the box also had a smile on his face. Lu Wenbin did not disappoint him!
Today's race was worth watching!
Such a talent and super shooter does not serve the country. Do we really have to force him to obtain foreign citizenship
That is simply a world-class joke and a shame for Chinese football!
As a fan and a national leader, he would never allow this to happen!
Thinking of the recent actions of the Ministry of Public Security and the arrest of a domestic club executive yesterday, the vice chairman's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Perhaps, the crackdown on gangs and gambling in domestic football can be larger in scale and more thorough.
After taking a radical approach to eliminate the cancer in domestic football, the Chinese national team, led by a world-class shooter like Lu Wenbin, may be able to achieve more groundbreaking results than in 2002.
…
Less than a minute after Lu Wenbin scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and continued the game.
Sevilla, whose score was reversed, was naturally unwilling to lose and launched a fierce surprise attack at the beginning of the second half.
According to statistics, the two time points before the start and end of the game are the times when it is easiest to lose the ball on the football field.
One is that the game has just started and some players have not yet entered the game state and their energy is a little distracted. Another is that when the game is about to end, the players are a little relaxed and it is easy for the opponent to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
This is the situation now.
Just two minutes into the second half, Sevilla winger Navas took advantage of Hoffenheim defender Jaisler's slackness when he just came on the pitch and successfully broke through the wing and made a cross.
Then, Sevilla forwards Fabiano and Kone simultaneously flanked the middle, and finally Kone grabbed the first point in the penalty area and headed the ball, but the ball went into the goal from the hands of Hoffenheim goalkeeper Hildebrand, who started the game.
In the 47th minute, Sevilla equalized the score and the score between the two sides became 2-2.
Sevilla's morale was boosted and they saw hope of regaining the lead.
However, Hoffenheim, playing at home and with two leaders of major countries watching, did not allow Sevilla to take the victory away from their stadium.
Hoffenheim continued to attack Sevilla.
It was still a familiar stadium, and the fans in the stands overwhelmingly supported Hoffenheim.
So, not long after Sevilla scored, Hoffenheim scored a goal through a flank attack.
In the 55th minute, Demba Ba broke through the wing and cut inside. He made a shooting motion and then faked a shot, then made a reverse triangle pass to Eduardo outside the penalty area.
Sevilla's center was empty as two defenders were taken away from the center by Lu Wenbin. Eduardo cut in from the back row and shot the ball. The ball passed through the penalty area like a cannonball and went into the goal.
Although goalkeeper Baras made a save, he missed the shot by a hair's breadth and could only watch in despair as the ball went into the net.
Hoffenheim took the lead again with Eduardo's long shot outside the penalty area, and the score between the two sides became 3-2, with the home team Hoffenheim leading.
Sevilla was naturally unwilling to lose, they wanted to continue attacking to equalize the score, or even reverse the situation and take away three points.
However, the price of a massive attack is naturally an empty defense.
In the 73rd minute, Lu Wenbin used his off-ball running to successfully avoid offside. After receiving a through pass from Salihovic at the front of the penalty area, he lobbed the ball into the empty goal facing the goalkeeper who was rushing out.
Lu Wenbin scored his first Champions League hat-trick in front of the leaders of China and Germany, helping Hoffenheim lead Sevilla 4-2.
This score almost secures the victory.
Next, Ralph replaced Demba Ba with Weiss and Jancker with Simunić, changing to a 442 balanced formation to strengthen defense.
Sevilla failed to score any more goals until the end of the game.
After 90 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Hoffenheim defeated Sevilla 4-2 at home and achieved three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.
Lu Wenbin's Champions League goals have risen to 7 goals in 3 games.
After the game, the entire Hoffenheim team was received by the leaders of China and Germany. Lu Wenbin's hat trick made the Chinese vice president very satisfied and praised him.
Finally, China's President Xi Jinping expressed his gratitude to everyone around him: "After hosting the Olympics, China has made a resolution. Since we can win gold medals in other sports, we must also be determined to improve football, the world's number one sport. Although it will take a long time, I believe that with outstanding athletes like Lu Wenbin, we will definitely achieve a historic breakthrough."
The vice president instructed the accompanying officials to strengthen exchanges with advanced European football countries, learn advanced experience, and develop Chinese football.
An official accompanying the vice chairman revealed to Lu Wenbin that the crackdown on gangs and gambling in the domestic football world has reached a climax, and a number of domestic club executives and football association officials have been arrested in recent times.
I hope Lu Wenbin will maintain his strong fighting spirit and high level of technical and tactical skills, and be ready to fight for the country at any time.
