At Wembley Stadium, the European derby between Real Madrid and Bayern was originally very popular among fans, who hoped to see a fierce offensive battle.
Unexpectedly, the super giants Bayern Munich actually showed an attitude of defending to the end and wanting to have a penalty shootout.
Many Real Madrid fans and local Londoners in the stands began to boo, hoping to influence the Bayern Munich players and make them attack.
But contrary to expectations, Bayern Munich remained indifferent.
On the one hand, these players are all famous superstars, not young guys. On the other hand, the old coach Heynckes has a high prestige.
If he said they had to defend and counterattack, the players would definitely follow his instructions without any lip service.
As for the fans' boos, in the eyes of these famous superstars, they are completely irrelevant.
As long as we can win the game and take the championship, what's wrong with being a coward now
After winning the championship, they will only be praised for their victory, and their defensive and counterattack tactics will be touted by the media as the right choice.
Everything depends on victory, not the boos of the fans.
Bayern Munich is not an ordinary team. Their defensive players are experienced and strong.
Bayern's tenacious defense left Real Madrid helpless, and even Lu Wenbin found it difficult to get any threatening shooting opportunities.
It was not until the 24th minute that Marcelo assisted and made a cross from the bottom, Higuain headed the ball, and Lu Wenbin volleyed the ball directly into the goal frame without stopping on the penalty area line, which was the most threatening shot for Real Madrid since the start of the game.
However, because the position of the ball in the volley was difficult to control and the angle was not sharp enough, this shot with good power and speed was still saved by Neuer at the bottom line.
Next, Lu Wenbin's zero-degree corner shot also went over the crossbar and failed to pose a threat to the goal guarded by Neuer.
After seeing Lu Wenbin get a chance to shoot and pose a threat, Heynckes yelled off the court, signaling the players on the court to strengthen their defense of Lu Wenbin and not let Lu Wenbin get the chance to shoot easily.
In the 32nd minute, Lu Wenbin was about to take a long shot outside the penalty area, but Gustavo shoveled the ball away from the side.
Bayern Munich faithfully followed the instructions of head coach Heynckes and did not easily give Lu Wenbin the opportunity to shoot, even outside the penalty area.
Not only shooting, but even the chance to pass the ball and assist was not easily given to Lu Wenbin.
Not only against Lu Wenbin personally, Bayern as a whole paid great attention to defending Lu Wenbin's position, often blocking the ball passed to Lu Wenbin by other players.
This is also the reason why Lu Wenbin did not touch the ball much in the first half and did not pose much threat.
As for other Real Madrid players, they actually got a lot of opportunities when Bayern focused a lot of their energy on defending Lu Wenbin.
However, they seemed to have bad luck in scoring goals in this game.
In fact, both Ronaldo and Higuain had good shooting opportunities and made threatening shots, but one hit the post and the other was saved by Neuer.
In the 37th minute, Lu Wenbin retreated to the center circle to get the ball and made a precise over-the-top pass to the head of Cristiano Ronaldo who was making a forward run.
C Ronaldo made a diving header in the penalty area, the ball flew over Neuer who was standing a little forward and flew towards the goal.
Many Real Madrid fans in the stands stood up and prepared to celebrate.
As a result, the ball hit the top of the crossbar, bounced a bit and landed on the net.
There was a sudden sigh in the stands, for the bad luck of Ronaldo and Real Madrid, and for Bayern Munich's stubborn defense.
After seeing that his teammates had some bad luck in scoring goals in this game, Lu Wenbin decided to start changing himself and no longer stay in the middle.
In the 43rd minute, Bayern Munich's counterattack failed. Robben's dribbling ball was intercepted by Marcelo and passed to Lu Wenbin.
This time, Lu Wenbin did not break through the middle, but took the ball to the side and exchanged positions with Ozil.
Seeing this, except for Gustavo who followed Lu Wenbin, Martinez and Schweinsteiger did not dare to move and continued to guard the middle.
Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball forward on the wing, and Gustavo blocked the inside line to prevent Lu Wenbin from cutting in. In addition, there was a left back Alaba waiting for Lu Wenbin in front.
Lu Wenbin never stopped and didn't pass the ball. Alaba retreated and defended, but did not stop Lu Wenbin from going to the bottom. However, he teamed up with Gustavo to block Lu Wenbin's route to cut inside.
Lu Wenbin kept going down the bottom, down the bottom, and down the bottom, but couldn't find a route to cut inside and shoot, and was finally forced to dribble the ball to the corner area.
The ball was still at Lu Wenbin's feet, while Gustavo and Alaba carefully blocked Lu Wenbin's breakthrough and passing routes, and were ready to knock the ball away from Lu Wenbin at any time.
After a few seconds, Alonso rushed up to support Lu Wenbin and signaled Lu Wenbin to pass the ball back.
Lu Wenbin also wanted to pass the ball back, but Gustavo immediately blocked his route. Whenever Lu Wenbin passed the ball, it would be knocked out of the sideline.
It would be fine if the ball just hit the sideline, but what we are afraid of is that the ball did not go out of bounds and was intercepted by Gustavo to launch a counterattack against Real Madrid.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin still didn't dare to pass the ball easily.
However, Lu Wenbin's high dribbling ability and his strong body forced Gustavo and Alaba to stand and defend, but they were unable to snatch the ball from Lu Wenbin.
Just as the three of them were constantly entangled and the players from both sides were crowded in the penalty area, waiting for Lu Wenbin to pass the ball, Gustavo and Alaba's bodies separated a little bit.
Although their feet were very close, there was a gap in their upper bodies that allowed Lu Wenbin to pass through.
Seeing this gap, Lu Wenbin's full creativity suddenly reminded him of the frog jump over the opponent by the Mexican player Blanco.
If you don't have full creativity, in a tense game on the court, you may not be able to think about where to go when you see the gap.
But now Lu Wenbin immediately made the connection.
Opportunities are fleeting.
Now that he had thought of it, Lu Wenbin did it immediately.
He suddenly clamped the ball with both feet, jumped up, and jumped between Gustavo and Alaba with the ball.
The two men's outstretched legs did not block Lu Wenbin's breakthrough at all.
As soon as the frog jumped over the person, it immediately caused screams at the scene.
This extraordinary move is so admirable and so famous.
Of course, for Gustavo and Alaba, this kind of dribbling move is simply a shame.
Before the two of them could react, they saw Lu Wenbin jumping between them with the ball.
The two of them quickly turned around and chased back, reaching out to pull Lu Wenbin.
But Lu Wenbin's strong body allowed him to only stagger a little after landing even if he was pulled, but he did not lose control of the ball or fall down. Instead, he used both hands to control Gustavo and Alaba to prevent them from getting close to the ball, and then rushed towards the penalty area with the ball.
