Seven Crowns

Chapter 186 Opportunities in the restricted area

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Hoffenheim players were celebrating and the game had not yet restarted, Marino called the player closest to him over and gave new tactical instructions.

After the game restarted, Lu Wenbin found that he had an extra defensive midfielder Enle next to him.

Whether Lu Wenbin was in the forward line or retreated into the midfield, Enle followed him closely.

In the 27th minute, Lu Wenbin almost received the ball in the penalty area to create a chance to shoot, but Enle tackled from the side and destroyed the ball passed by Ibisevic.

With dedicated marking and the already strong overall defensive ability of the Italian team, Udinese really managed to slightly control Lu Wenbin's threat.

However, it is only a little control, and it cannot completely restrict death.

Because Lu Wenbin's running position is really too thieves.

It was also impossible for Enle to find a rope to tie himself and Lu Wenbin together. After all, he still had to observe the position of the ball and the positions of Lu Wenbin's teammates.

As long as he was distracted, Lu Wenbin might slip away.

However, after scoring the first goal, Lu Wenbin's luck was not very good.

Before the end of the first half, Lu Wenbin got a free kick and two chances to grab points in the penalty area, but they all missed the goal.

In particular, the free kick that was taken with the system skill went straight to the dead corner, but was poked out by Handanovic with a world-class save with his fingertips.

However, although no more goals were scored, Lu Wenbin's increased threat brought an additional benefit, that is, Udinese's midfielder did not dare to easily press out to assist the front.

Udinese had only a few counterattacks throughout the first half, and they hadn't scored yet.

Hoffenheim still leads Udinese 1-0 and still retains hope that one more goal can knock them out.

After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the second half, Lu Wenbin increased his running range. Just like Ralph repositioned Lu Wenbin, he became a frontcourt free man.

Originally, it was close to the full value of running without the ball, coupled with the liberation of the position, from the penalty area to the midfield, from the middle to the side, Lu Wenbin was everywhere.

The number of times Lu Wenbin received the ball began to increase, and the number of shots also began to increase.

It seems that Hoffenheim is not far from scoring.

However, sometimes on the court, it is really not easy to score.

Just when many people thought that Hoffenheim was going to score soon, in the 59th minute, Udinese made a counterattack and No. 27 striker Quaglia Grera made a long-distance attack to complete the shot.

When Quaglia Guerrera shot, goalkeeper Ozcan had already predicted the direction of his shot and made a save.

If there is no accident, the ball will be thrown by Ozcan, or even hugged directly.

As a result, central defender Nelson, who fell to the ground and shoveled from the side, touched the ball, but did not shovel the ball out of the goal frame.

As a result, the ball hit Nilsson's toes, a refraction occurred, and fell into the goal from behind goalkeeper Ozcan.

Udinese equalized with a lucky goal and led Hoffenheim 3-2 on aggregate.

Quaglia Guerrera rushed to the sidelines in ecstasy, and there was a fierce kneeling celebration. The other players rushed over like crazy, shouting and celebrating under the stands.

The Udinese fans, who had been silent for a long time, finally found a vent. They clapped and shouted frantically in the stands, and some people lit colorful luminescent fireworks, and the stands were filled with colorful smoke.

It is not a feature of Serie A that European fans set off fireworks while watching the game.

But it is true that Italian fans use it most frequently, and sometimes it even spreads to the entire stadium, and the live cameras can't take pictures of the game.

Some people like this kind of behavior, some people hate it, and some countries will ban it, but it is undeniable that for those who watch the game, such behavior can stimulate the enthusiasm of the fans.

The atmosphere in the stands of Udinese was much warmer than before. The fans sang and shouted loudly in the stands, cheering for Udinese.

But the Hoffenheim players were not hit by the opponent's goal.

Because of Udinese's goal, it is not the end of the world for Hoffenheim. As long as they can score one more goal, they can equalize the total score and wipe out the opponent's away goal advantage.

One ball gap, not the end of the world.

Although it is generally considered to be at a disadvantage, it still has a little advantage, that is, Hoffenheim still has the opportunity to score more away goals, while Udinese has no more.

Therefore, in the next game, the two sides entered a state where the bayonet saw red.

Udinese desperately wanted to hold on to a 3-2 aggregate score, while Hoffenheim wanted another goal to send the game into extra time for the last time.

When the game entered the 75th minute, Lu Wenbin began to feel unusually tired.

Although he only played half of the last round of the Bundesliga, he was replaced and rested, but from September 18 to today, September 24, he played three games a week, and there were two very high-intensity UEFA Cup games. For Lu Wenbin, whose physique is only 13/13, it is indeed a bit tiring.

The rest of the field is similar, whether it is Hoffenheim or Udinese players.

Between the two UEFA Cup games, everyone played a league match.

It's just that, among all the people on the field, Lu Wenbin's physique is slightly weaker, so he feels the most exhausted.

However, no matter how tired he is, Lu Wenbin cannot give up.

Udinese's chain defense is really good, and there are people who specifically mark him closely, so that even if his off-ball running is increased to 19/19, he still cannot get a lot of opportunities.

However, it is always much better than the first round of the game between the two sides, and there are many more opportunities to catch the ball than in the first round of the game.

Lu Wenbin felt that he could still score goals.

In the 83rd minute, plus stoppage time, it was almost the last ten minutes. Some Udinese fans in the stands felt that they had a chance to win, and they had already started singing to celebrate the victory.

At this moment, Hoffenheim's full-back Baker suddenly dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and cut in and finished the shot, but the ball was saved by Handanovic, who had quick eyes and quick hands.

The ball fell right in front of Demba Ba in the penalty area, and Handanovic was still on the ground.

For Udinese, it looked like a crisis at this time.

Immediately, there was chaos in the penalty area. At least two defenders rushed towards Demba Ba, and they all subconsciously blocked the path where Demba Ba shot. Another defender also ran to the goal line, preparing to clear the goal line.

Handanovic also put his hands on the ground and prepared to forcefully stand up, slamming Demba Ba's shot.

Inside and outside the stadium, in the stands, and in front of the TV, most people also stared at Demba Ba in the penalty area with wide eyes, waiting for him to shoot, including Enle, who was supposed to be close to marking Lu Wenbin.
