Seven Crowns

Chapter 171: Battle against Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen Football Club is located in Leverkusen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its home stadium is the Bayer Arena with a capacity of 30,000 people.

Leverkusen has won the UEFA Cup and the German Cup, but they have not won the Bundesliga, only a few Bundesliga runners-up.

Leverkusen's most glorious time was in 2002, and it was also in 2002 that it was most frustrated.

In the 2001/2002 season, they were in full swing on all fronts, and they almost won the championship in the end.

As a result, the stamina was insufficient, and all fronts collapsed. In the end, Leverkusen only won the 2002 Bundesliga, German Cup, and Champions League Sanya.

Everyone remembers Zidane's flying fairy in the Champions League final in 2002, but few people remember that Real Madrid's opponent in that final was Leverkusen, and there was also a tragic superstar Ballack among them.

In addition to the fact that the German national team lost to the five-star Brazil in the World Cup finals in Korea and Japan that year, Leverkusen's core Ballack won a total of four runners-up that year, known as the Four Asian Kings.

Although some people praised Leverkusen that season as the Sanya King Warrior, but a loss is a loss.

It's fine if there is no Champions League, not even a Bundesliga title.

Therefore, it is okay to say that Leverkusen is a traditional strong team in Germany, but I am afraid that most fans will not admit that they are a wealthy team.

However, even so, in the general opinion of the media and fans, it is still very difficult for the newly promoted Hoffenheim to beat Leverkusen away.

Even at this time Hoffenheim ranked first in the standings, while Leverkusen only ranked seventh.

If Lu Wenbin, who currently dominates the scorer list, can score one or two goals and take away a draw from the Bayer Arena, Hoffenheim is capable.

At this time, the Beijing Olympic Games has closed on August 24, and the Football Association has also fallen into civil strife. It has no deterrent effect on all domestic media, and the media does not need to look at the face of the Football Association to dig out the news and inside stories of the national team and the Olympic team. news.

Therefore, the media in turn denounced and scolded the Football Association, and no one from the Football Association dared to fight.

Of course, it's useless to fight, whoever wants to stand up will be the target of intense fire from the media and fans.

Under such circumstances, CCTV-5 finally responded to the calls of many Bundesliga fans and Lu Wenbin fans, and broadcast the Bundesliga match between Leverkusen VS Hoffenheim.

At 14:30 noon on August 30, Germany local time, 21:30 Beijing time, with the whistle of the referee, the third round of the 2008/2009 Bundesliga season Leverkusen VS Hoffenheim officially began.

Although countless people in China expressed despair at Chinese football because of the Olympic team's performance in the Beijing Olympics, it did not affect everyone watching the top European leagues.

Those who like football, still continue to like football.

Therefore, there are still many Bundesliga fans and fans who admire Lu Wenbin turn on the TV on time to watch this Bundesliga game.

Of course, there are also Lu Wenbin's parents, relatives, neighbors, classmates, teachers, and many fellow villagers in Meitan, Zunyi, and Guizhou who support Lu Wenbin.

Bayer Arena, after the start of the game, Hoffenheim, who got the kick-off first, pressed up collectively and launched an attack on Leverkusen's half.

No matter how the media commented, Hoffenheim won the double crown last season by relying on offensive football, and also won the German Cup and Bundesliga three consecutive victories this season. Naturally, Ralph will not change his tactics rashly.

Even if the opponent is strong and the goal is smashed into a sieve, Ralph will not change his mind easily.

The consequences of hastily changing the team's usual tactics will only make your players uncomfortable, the advantages will not be brought into play, and the weaknesses will be exposed even more.

This is also the reason why many teams have a set of tactics to win the world, and they will not change their tactics after being thoroughly studied by their opponents.

Because it doesn't pay off.

Many teams will play a set of tactics for several years, but will make fine-tuning according to the specific staffing, but they will not suddenly change from offensive football to defensive counterattack, nor will they change from defensive counterattack to offensive football.

This is true for Hoffenheim, and the same is true for Leverkusen.

Leverkusen is also good at offensive football and doesn't like to play defensively.

At his own home court, it is even more impossible to be afraid of the newly promoted Hoffenheim.

Therefore, the two sides launched a confrontation from the very beginning, and the fight was full of passion. The adrenaline of the fans, whether on the scene or in front of the TV, was soaring, which was quite exciting.

In the 4th minute, Lu Wenbin received a header from Ibisevic in the penalty area, volleyed on the goal post and bounced back to the penalty area to be cleared, shocking the Leverkusen fans in the stands. Breaking out in a cold sweat also made the commentator of CCTV-5 and the domestic audience feel regretful for a while.

Soon, Leverkusen retaliated.

In the 9th minute, Leverkusen's No. 8 midfielder Augusto passed Kampel at the front of Hoffenheim's penalty area and then made a cross. No. 23 midfielder Vidal met the ball with a heavy bombardment from outside the penalty area. Door.

The ball pierced through Hoffenheim's penalty area, but the quick-response Hoffenheim goalkeeper Ozjan quickly fell to the ground and swiped out the baseline with his fingertips, which also shocked the Hoffenheim fans.

Both sides come and go, and the confrontation battles climaxed one after another.

In the 13th minute, Lu Wenbin finally ushered in his first goal of the game.

Salihovic made a pass from the wing, and Ibisevic ferried the header to Demba Ba. After making a shot, Demba Ba feinted and passed the ball to Lu Wenbin in the penalty area.

Lu Wenbin raged at the ball, and the ball went into the goal like a cannonball. Leverkusen goalkeeper Adler couldn't react in time, so he had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net.

In the 13th minute, Hoffenheim led Leverkusen 1-0 away, and the scorer was No. 9 Lu Wenbin.

Nearly 2,000 Hoffenheim fans cheered loudly in the stands, suppressing the boos of the Leverkusen fans.

The commentator of CCTV-5 also explained loudly and excitedly:

"Goal, goal, goal, in the 13th minute, Lu Wenbin finally scored! He scored the first goal against Bayer Leverkusen at the Bayer Arena, helping Hoffenheim in the away game 1- 0 ahead of Leverkusen. Moreover, Lu Wenbin’s Bundesliga personal goals have also risen to 6 goals, continuing to dominate the top scorer list. Lu Wenbin is definitely a genius, there is no doubt.”

Lu Chongxin bought some melon seeds, peanuts and fruits as side dishes in the area of ​​Meitan Liquor Factory. While drinking melon seeds and peanuts, he and his wife Sun Jiahui watched his son’s first Bundesliga live broadcast on CCTV in high-definition.

Seeing that his son lived up to expectations and opened the scoring for the team, Lu Chongxin slapped his thigh, shouted "strike", then raised his head from the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, which surprised Sun Jiahui.

"Don't be in such a rush, the game has just started! How can you watch the game when you're drunk?" Sun Jiahui blamed.

Lu Chongxin smiled while picking up the food and drink with his chopsticks: "I'm so happy, drink slowly next time!"

Then, he put the appetizers into his mouth, with a happy smile on his face.
