Seven Crowns

In this German Cup 1/8 final against Rostock, Hoffenheim played 442 tactics.

The two starting forwards are the main center No. 19 Vedad Ibisevic and the No. 17 backup striker Tobias Weiss.

Ibisevic, who is 188cm tall, stepped forward to make a fulcrum. Weiss, who was only 170cm tall but had a good speed, hid behind Ibisevic and waited for an opportunity to shoot.

In order to save Ralph Rangnick for the next league game, the two main strikers, No. 29 Dembaba and No. 20 Aubasi, did not even enter the squad.

Ralph Rangnick patted himself on the head after Weiss fired another Ibisevic cross wide of the post.

Although the ambition is not in the German Cup, if Hoffenheim can beat the first-tier teams to advance to the next round, it will also be good for the confidence of the entire team and the competition for the top three in the second half of the season.

So, Ralph Rangnick still wants to win.

After seeing Weiss's shot in front of the goal again, Ralph decided to switch to a more accurate striker.

So, he turned around and glanced at the bench, and said to Lu Wenbin, "Lu, go and warm up!"

In fact, Lu Wenbin has long been anxious on the bench.

If Hoffenheim cannot defeat Rostock and advance to the next round, he will say goodbye to task 10 and task 11 in advance.

However, as a pure rookie in the first team, he can't say to the head coach "change me up". Not to mention him, not even those absolute main players have the courage to do so.

Even if you have the courage to say it, you will not get it! Because this is challenging the head coach's authority and formation, denying the head coach's previous tactics and personnel arrangements.

Under normal circumstances, not only will they not be approved, but they will also be put into the cold palace by the head coach.

If even this authority cannot be guaranteed, how can the head coach control the team?

Probably only the kind of ball tyrant who dares to interfere with the coach's formation and personnel arrangement as a player!

There is no such player in the current Hoffenheim, especially Lu Wenbin. He can only wait for Ralph to take the initiative to replace him.

Hearing Ralph calling him to warm up, Lu Wenbin finally felt relieved, and quickly took off his coat and went to the sidelines to warm up.

A few minutes later, Lu Wenbin was called by Ralph to arrange tactics and tasks.

Ralph said to Lu Wenbin: "Lu, you will replace Weiss later. After you play, play Weiss' position, run around Ibisevic, let Ibisevic play the ball for you, and then Shoot with your precise shooting skills. Hit me when you have the chance, don't be afraid to waste it."

Lu Wenbin nodded and stood on the sidelines, waiting for the chance of a dead ball.

In the 77th minute, Rostock got a sideball, the fourth official played a sign for substitution, and the live broadcast began to broadcast: "Hoffenheim substitution, take down Tobias Weiss on the 17th, and Lu Wenbin on the 90th."

After seeing the sign of the substitution, Weiss ran over, gave Lu Wenbin a high-five expressionlessly, then walked to the bench and sat down, ready to watch Lu Wenbin's performance.

He knew he didn't perform well in this game, so he was replaced by the coach. However, if a 17-year-old young player goes up, will he be able to perform better than himself and help the team beat Rostock?

Weiss didn't think Lu Wenbin could do it.

The training ground is a training ground, and the real game is very different from the training.

Weiss is ready to see Lu Wenbin and the head coach's jokes.

Seeing Lu Wenbin replace Weiss, the audience in the stands had different expressions.

Most of the villagers in Hoffenheim village know Lu Wenbin, know that he is Chinese, and also know his outstanding performance in the last three games of the youth team, so they gave Lu Wenbin warm applause and cheers to cheer him on.

Other fans from Rhein-Neckar or Sinsheim were amazed by the young, over-scoring No. 90 yellow.

"Where did this number 90 come from, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Probably a new player from Ralph who has just been promoted from the youth team."

"So young, I'm afraid he's not even 18 years old, right? He's about the same height as Weiss, but he doesn't look as strong as Weiss. Will he be knocked over?"

"Yeah, now the score is tight. If such a young player comes up, will he have weak legs?"

In addition to those fans who don't know Lu Wenbin, the Rostock players also feel a little contempt for Lu Wenbin's appearance.

Although Lu Wenbin's height of 171cm is similar to that of Weiss, it is barely qualified. But his 62kg weight is far from Weiss' 68kg weight, so he looks a little thin.

Such a young and frail Asian player, I am afraid that he will fall over when he hits him?

With this in mind, as the game continued, Rostock shifted his defensive focus to Ibisevic.

In fact, when Lu Wenbin's body is facing the Bundesliga team in the Bundesliga, or even in the King's Cup, it is indeed not as dominant as the domestic high school league.

However, a 13/13 physique is not a weak physique.

If that's the case, Ralph wouldn't send Lu Wenbin on the court.

As long as he doesn't get knocked down, Lu Wenbin will have the opportunity to complete the shot.

In the 83rd minute, Lu Wenbin got such an opportunity.

This was a chance for Hoffenheim to counterattack. After the ball was kicked into the frontcourt by No. 3 defender Jaisler, center Ibisevic gave the ball to No. 33 in the top battle with the opponent. Carlos Eduardo.

Eduardo is a Brazilian player with excellent technique and scored a goal in the first half, making him a big threat.

Therefore, seeing that Eduardo received the ball, the two closest Rostock defenders rushed to him at the same time, causing Lu Wenbin to be in a short unguarded gap.

Eduardo saw Lu Wenbin's position, swayed the ball from an angle and shoved the ball straight into the penalty area.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin slanted into the penalty area and stood out from Rostock's backline: anti-offside.

At this time, the Rostock players realized that they had missed out, and the nearest No. 5 defender, Brooks, immediately turned back to defend and rushed in the direction of the ball rolling.

As the distance approached, Brooks found that Lu Wenbin was slightly ahead of him, and it was difficult for him to grab the ball before Lu Wenbin.

So, he changed his mind, put his hands behind his back when he was about to enter the penalty area, and bumped into Lu Wenbin with his body.

It's a reasonably bumpy move.
