The match between Hoffenheim and Lyon is the last match of the Champions League quarter-finals.
After this game, the top four places in this season's Champions League have all been decided, namely Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Inter Milan.
The German media are cheering for the revival of the Bundesliga, and are looking forward to Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich drawing another opponent in the semi-finals, then winning the battle, meeting in the final, and winning the championship and runner-up.
But UEFA did not do as the German media wished.
On April 9, 2010, UEFA held the draw ceremony for the 2009/2010 Champions League semi-finals.
The final result was Hoffenheim vs. Bayern Munich, a German civil war.
Barcelona and Inter Milan, who had faced each other in the group stage, faced each other again in the semi-finals to fight for a place in the final.
The German media can only comfort themselves that the two German teams met in the semi-finals in advance. Although they can no longer meet in the final, at least they can guarantee a place in the final.
Moreover, the confrontation between these two teams is quite interesting.
In the league, Hoffenheim ranks first in the standings and Bayern Munich ranks second, so they are considered rivals, although the points gap is a bit large.
In the German Cup, Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich advanced to the final and will fight for this season's German Cup championship on May 15.
Finally, in the Champions League, the two sides met again in the semi-finals to fight for a place in the Champions League final.
It can be said that Hoffenheim is fighting on three fronts, and its opponents on all three fronts are Bayern Munich.
Will Hoffenheim achieve the treble by stepping on Bayern Munich's corpse, or will Bayern Munich defeat Hoffenheim and restore the glory of the Bundesliga dominance? Countless people are waiting to see.
On April 10, the day after the Champions League semi-final draw ceremony, Hoffenheim will play against Cologne at home in the 30th round of the Bundesliga.
The last match against Lyon was won relatively easily. Hoffenheim was strong and only rotated two or three players.
Then, Hoffenheim, with all its main players in the team, easily defeated Cologne 4-1 at home and continued to lead the standings with all three points.
In this game, Lu Wenbin completed a hat trick and received 3 goals for 30,000 + 20,000 for winning, a total of 50,000 experience points. The experience points increased to level 18, 705,000/10 million.
After the game, the focus of media reports was still Lu Wenbin.
Because not only did he complete a hat trick in this game, but his total number of Bundesliga goals has reached 48, which has exceeded the total number of goals scored last season.
Lu Wenbin set a new Bundesliga single-season goal record and secured this season's European Golden Boot in advance.
This season's Bundesliga has not yet ended, and Lu Wenbin still has the opportunity to continue to improve.
Lu Wenbin scored 48 Bundesliga goals this season in 28 games, and 47 goals last season in 27 games.
Lu Wenbin's goal efficiency is higher than last season.
Four days later, in the 31st round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim challenged Dortmund away.
This game attracted the attention of countless media and fans from all over Germany, Europe and even the world.
Because after Hoffenheim's last round of Bundesliga match with Cologne, they are already 10 points ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich.
If Hoffenheim can beat Dortmund at the Westfalen Stadium in this league, with three rounds left in the league, Hoffenheim will win the championship three rounds in advance regardless of the result of Bayern Munich's game.
In that case, Hoffenheim will be able to put all its energy into the Champions League and German Cup finals in the coming period and fight for the triple crown.
This psychological sense of relief from letting go of a competition will definitely be of great help to Hoffenheim in winning the Champions League and the German Cup.
Therefore, except for some injured players such as Hildebrand, Ralph will field all the main players in this game and must beat Dortmund away from home.
Dortmund will naturally not surrender.
On the one hand, they didn't want Hoffenheim to successfully defend the Bundesliga title over their corpses and celebrate the victory in their stadium.
On the other hand, Dortmund is currently ranked fifth in the league and is competing for the qualification for the Europa League next season. Moreover, there is still a chance to compete for the top three in the league, which means the hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season, so naturally they must go all out.
Bayern Munich claimed that they would not give up, they would play their own game well first and then wait for Hoffenheim to make mistakes.
In fact, everyone knows that there is no suspense about Hoffenheim winning the championship this season.
There are still so many league rounds left. If Hoffenheim wins any game or Bayern Munich loses a game, Hoffenheim will win the championship. It doesn't have to be this game against Dortmund.
Even if Hoffenheim cannot win this game, Bayern Munich does not have much hope of making a comeback and winning the championship. They are just struggling in their last moments and trying to hold on.
No one in Hoffenheim commented on Bayern Munich. They arrived in Dortmund two days in advance and made serious preparations for the league match.
At 14:30 on April 14th, the weather was fine. With the referee's opening whistle and countless people watching, the 31st round of the 2009/2010 German Bundesliga match between Dortmund and Hoffenheim officially started at the Westfalen Stadium.
Now all teams are aware of the fact that Lu Wenbin's dribbling skills have greatly improved. Therefore, even though Dortmund played at home in this match, they did not attack Hoffenheim, but cautiously chose the same 541 defensive counterattack formation as Lyon.
Lyon was caught off guard by Lu Wenbin in that game, so they lost miserably.
After Dortmund made all the preparations, although almost no one could defend Lu Wenbin one-on-one, they were able to rely on the numerical advantage in the backcourt to constantly block and intercept, and ultimately made Lu Wenbin return empty-handed.
In the 12th minute, after Lu Wenbin broke through two players in succession in front of the penalty area, he was stopped by the third player and the ball was kicked away by the fourth player.
In the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin created a fleeting gap in the crowded Dortmund penalty area, but Salihovic passed the ball a little slower and it was intercepted by Dortmund defender Subotic.
Although Lu Wenbin possessed excellent physique, speed and dribbling skills, he was helpless in the face of Dortmund, which adopted an extreme defensive counterattack tactic and had enough defensive players in the backcourt. He failed to score until the 30th minute.
Once a direct free kick was hit into the goal frame using the system skill, but was saved by Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
However, in contrast, Dortmund, who focused on defense, did not have much offense. In the first 30 minutes, there were only two counterattack shots, one of which hit the goal frame and was saved by Ozcan.
