Seven Crowns

After Lu Wenbin scored in the 83rd minute, he celebrated with the fans and teammates for a while before returning to the court under the intervention of the referee.

After the game restarted, both sides became extremely cautious.

At this time, there are only a few minutes left before the end of the game in regular time, and anyone who scores a goal may end the game.

But if anyone concedes a goal, they may just say goodbye to the UEFA Cup.

Therefore, everyone became very cautious and did not dare to give the opponent any chance.

As for Lu Wenbin, he could barely run anymore, and in the end he didn't get any chance to shoot.

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle to end the regular game.

Hoffenheim and Udinese were tied 3-3 in the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup third qualifying round two-legged regular-time match, and both sides had the same away goals There are many, no winners or losers at all.

Therefore, the game had to go into overtime.

The referee gave everyone a few minutes to rest.

After walking to the sidelines, everyone else in Hoffenheim could hold on, only Lu Wenbin looked like he was about to collapse at any time, the team doctor hurriedly asked him to lie down on the grass and give him a leg massage.

Coach Ralph asked worriedly: "Lu, can you still hold on?"

It wasn't that Ralph didn't want to replace Lu Wenbin, but because of the current game situation, Lu Wenbin had to stay on the field as much as possible.

As long as Lu Wenbin is on the field, even if he is just walking on the field, he can absorb most of the energy of Udinese's defense.

Once Lu Wenbin is off the field, Udinese's defense can attack aggressively, which is even more dangerous for Hoffenheim's goal.

Of course, if Lu Wenbin really couldn't persist, Ralph would not really let him stay on the court, so I have this question.

Lu Wenbin gasped heavily, nodded and said, "I'm fine, coach. If I can't hold on, I'll call you!"

Ralph nodded, and then began to seize the time to assign tasks to the players in the overtime game.

According to UEFA's rule that goals in extra time are also counted as away goals, Hoffenheim can now almost kill the game with just one more goal.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, Ralph wanted to resolve the battle in overtime.

Because the penalty shootout is too much a test of luck and unreliable.

What's more, as a goalkeeper, Handanovic is stronger than Ozcan, and Ralph doesn't want to play penalty shootouts.

Hoffenheim must try their best to resolve the battle in extra time.

Given Lu Wenbin's physical condition, it may be very difficult for him to catch and shoot the ball in a wide range of gaps like in regular game time, and make sports goals.

But Lu Wenbin still poses a great threat. As long as he is on the field, Udinese players must focus on Lu Wenbin and cannot relax for a moment.

In this way, the pressure on Hoffenheim's goal will be much less.

And Lu Wenbin also has a good free kick technique. Sometimes, set kicks are also a sharp weapon to break the balance of the game.

Therefore, Ralph asked others to break through and shoot more, on the one hand to see if they could score goals. If you can't score a goal, see if you can create a foul from the opponent and create a free kick for Lu Wenbin.

At the same time, Ralph's reminder to the back line is also indispensable. Ralph has repeatedly told everyone in the back line to cheer up.

No matter how tired you are, you have to persist until the end of the game, and you can't relax for a moment.

After resting for a few minutes, Lu Wenbin stood up again after being massaged by the team doctor, and played the game with his teammates.

Three games a week, and this game went into overtime. It is true that both sides consume a lot of energy.

Therefore, after entering overtime, not only Lu Wenbin is walking, but also the running of other players on both sides is also decreasing, and the number of mistakes in passing and receiving is increasing.

However, everyone's ability to grasp opportunities is also declining.

In the 97th minute of extra time, Salihovic had an excellent chance to shoot in the penalty area.

As a result, his shot seemed weak, and he was easily hugged by Handanovic, which made the Hoffenheim fans a pity.

Conversely, in the 104th minute, when the first half of extra time was about to end, Udinese's No. 10 striker Di Natale also had a good chance to counterattack single-handedly.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired. When he entered the penalty area, he deformed his movements and swayed the ball a little bit, and then Ozjan, who had quick eyes and quick hands, threw the ball into his arms.

Di Natale missed a single-handed chance, so that Udinese's home stands sighed.

Then the first half of overtime ended, the two sides took a break, and then changed sides to fight again.

It seems that the second half of overtime is not much different from the first half.

However, just when everyone thought that the game was about to enter a penalty shootout with a total score of 3-3, in the 108th minute, Eduardo dribbled the ball on the left side of Udinese's penalty area and stepped on a bicycle. Ness defender Domizi stumbled and fell to the ground.

Hoffenheim won a free kick, but the angle was relatively biased, and Lu Wenbin took the penalty.

Lu Wenbin looked at his free kick system skills, the cooling time has not yet expired, so he can only take the penalty by himself.

However, if he takes the penalty himself, he is not very sure about the free kick facing the goal, let alone a free kick from such an angle.

However, when he saw Handanovic nervously commanding his teammates to line up the wall at the near end, Lu Wenbin remembered that he had already scored more than 10 free kicks in professional leagues.

Although he has not scored a free kick in recent games, it is obvious that the opponent knows how good he is, so Handanovic is so nervous.

And all the free kicks he scored in front of him were all arcs in the air, bypassing the wall and hitting the upper corner of the goal.

This time I don't have system skills and I'm not sure, so can I do the opposite and hit them right under their feet?

Perhaps, the Udinese players will think that they will hit the top of their heads like before, and then they will all jump up, so the bottom of their feet will be empty?

The more he thought about it, the more chance Lu Wenbin felt.

Anyway, he took the penalty by himself, with such a biased angle, and he had to bypass the wall, the chance of scoring was quite low.

But if he can pass under the foot of the wall without needing to take an arc, then his 20/20 shot just needs to be aimed at the dead corner of the goal, and he will definitely score.

Although this is a bit of luck, but the football field also pays attention to luck. If the opponent's wall really jumps up, then Lu Wenbin will be able to score a goal and form a lore.

After making a decision, Lu Wenbin stood in front of the ball, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle, and from time to time looked towards the top corner near the goal, making the Udinese players think that Lu Wenbin was going to hit the top corner.

After a while, after the referee blew the whistle for a free throw, Lu Wenbin took a few steps to run up and kicked the football.

At the same time, Udinese's human wall also jumped up neatly, the original intention was to see if they could hit Lu Wenbin's free kick and destroy it out of bounds.

However, after they all jumped up, they realized that the ball played by Lu Wenbin didn't fly up, but rushed towards their feet against the turf.

Everyone was shocked, but the Udinese players who were already in the air could not stop the ball.

The ball flew past the feet of the jumping central defender Andre Corda, and under the desperate eyes of everyone in Udinese, it got into the near corner of the goal.

Although Handanovic rushed over from the far end, he failed to prevent Lu Wenbin's unexpected shooting method and goal.
