Seven Crowns

Karl Benz Stadium, 40 minutes into the first half, Hoffenheim's continuous offensive failed to score.

In the exclamations of the commentators and fans again and again, goalkeeper Neuer blocked all Hoffenheim's shots, and Hoffenheim's players were a little lost in confidence.

But Lu Wenbin did not waver.

He still didn't believe it, Neuer was really good enough to save all Hoffenheim shots.

If he can really get to that level, it won't make Schalke 04 only seventh in the Bundesliga standings.

Through the first 40 minutes of observation, Lu Wenbin can see that Neuer has a characteristic, that is, he likes to rush out of the small penalty area, and even the big penalty area to destroy the opponent's through balls and single-handed balls.

Other goalkeepers generally cover the small penalty area, and the big penalty area is great at most, but Neuer's defense has expanded beyond the penalty area, making him a scavenger among goalkeepers.

Neuer's characteristics are destined to always be in the big penalty area, not in the small penalty area or even the goal line.

Lu Wenbin admitted that Neuer is the strongest goalkeeper he has ever encountered in the game. He has a wide coverage, good positioning and quick response. Even if he shoots long shots, he is often saved by him.

But Lu Wenbin feels that there are several types of long shots.

One is a straight and powerful long-range shot, with no angle or height, just winning with speed and power. This kind of shot is most likely to be saved by Neuer, who has a quick reaction.

The second is the curve ball, which has the opportunity to bypass Neuer's defensive range, but the curve ball is not easy to control the strength and final landing point, and it does not have sufficient free throw preparation time like a direct free kick in sports warfare. Go around the door frame while bypassing Neuer.

The last one is the long-range lob, which has no speed or strength, and other players can’t control the strength, and it is easy to go directly above the beam and become a plane.

However, Lu Wenbin's 20/20 shooting attributes can be described as the first person in football to control the position and strength of the ball.

Lu Wenbin will shoot long-range lobs. Although the chance of hitting the door frame has dropped due to the distance, it is still much higher than other teammates.

Previously, because Lu Wenbin, who threatened Hoffenheim the most, often rushed into the penalty area, Neuer did not dare to get too far from the goal line and the small penalty area.

But there is a tactic of drawing snakes out of holes in the Chinese art of war, which Lu Wenbin thinks is more suitable for the current situation.

Lu Wenbin took the initiative to retreat, giving Neuer the illusion that he was far away from the goal and that his threat was declining. Maybe he would stand higher and give himself more chances for long-range shots.

Therefore, in the next few minutes, Lu Wenbin started cruising without the ball within the range of 30 meters from the center line and Schalke 04 goal, looking for opportunities to shoot long-range lobs.

Because in this range, only Entes is close to marking Lu Wenbin, and Kerstajic, as a central defender, usually does not follow so far.

So Lu Wenbin can get more space to catch the ball and shoot, and experiment with his ideas.

However, the time until the end of the first half was too short at this time.

In the last 5 minutes, Lu Wenbin only swayed Entes and received a pass from Eduardo to complete a shot.

As a result, because Neuer's position this time was not very forward, he ran back to the goal line and held the ball directly in his arms, which did not attract anyone's attention.

Everyone thought that Lu Wenbin just shot a random shot in the midfield.

Then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

After a 15-minute rest, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Lu Wenbin continued to run without the ball in the midfield where only Entes was marking him for most of the time.

Seeing this scene, Schalke coach Ruten smiled, and the commentator who supported Schalke was also quite happy to explain:

"Lu was successfully frozen by Schalke 04's double-marking tactics. He couldn't find any opportunity within 30 meters of the goal, and was forced to retreat to the midfield to find a shot. However, at that distance, even if he got the chance to kick the goal. , and it is difficult to score goals.”

Lu Wenbin faced Bielefeld's shocking long-range shot,

It is recognized as a luck ball and is not for reference.

Schalke 04 supporters thought that Lu Wenbin was forced to retreat to the midfield by Ruteng's double-marking, and they were quite complacent.

Neuer also didn't expect that much. Just seeing that Lu Wenbin was far away from the penalty area and the threat decreased, he began to rush out of the penalty area more frequently to be his scavenger goalkeeper.

Even when he didn't rush out of the penalty area, Neuer's position was often in the big penalty area, ready to rush out of the penalty area at any time.

This is an outstanding goalkeeper with a very unique personal style.

Lu Wenbin wants to achieve this effect.

With only Entes being closely guarded, Lu Wenbin has more chances to catch the ball and shoot in the midfield.

In the 52nd minute of the second half, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Salihovic in midfield and was about to shoot, but Entes tackled the ball with a flying tackle, and he didn't commit a foul.

In the 65th minute, Schalke 04 got a chance to counterattack. The winger Asamoah made a cross from the bottom, and the center Kuranyi headed the goal. As a result, he hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area. Finheim defender Yanker kicked a big-footed clearance into the midfield.

At this time, because it was Schalke 04 attacking, most of the players on both sides ran to the half and midfield of Hoffenheim. Both Schalke 04 central defenders were 30 meters away from the goal, Neuer followed Move to the big penalty area line and look forward, looking forward to the teammates scoring goals.

After the ball was cleared by Yankel to the midfield, Neuer did not retreat. He rushed out as a scavenger when he was waiting for the opponent to counterattack!

He likes this style of play.

The ball from Yanker's clearance was grabbed by Salihovic and passed to Ibisevic.

Ibisevic did not dribble the ball to break through by himself, nor pass it to Dembaba, who was running forward. Instead, he passed the ball across to Lu Wenbin, who was close to the middle circle and threw off Entes’ close-marking near the middle circle.

After Lu Wenbin first looked at Neuer's position in advance, he didn't stop the ball at all, but shot directly from a distance of more than 40 meters from the goal.

When the ball soared into the sky and flew towards the goal of Schalke 04, Rutten stood up from the bench in a flash, and Neuer's face changed greatly, and he began to run desperately from the penalty area line to the goal. .

However, Neuer's position is too forward, and the speed of the ball is much faster than Neuer's.

As soon as Neuer ran to the small penalty area line, the ball passed over his head and fell into the empty goal.

The CCTV commentator explained excitedly: "The ball was scored, and Lu Wenbin scored a 40-meter lob from the midfield. He can be called a long-range lob expert! Neuer, who likes to rush out of the penalty area and stand at the front He was shot by Lu Wenbin and hit an empty door!"

Chinese netizens rejoiced and commented on Neuer in the comment area:

"I told you Neuer to stand so high, now you're taught to be a man, right?"

"Lu Wenbin is really 666, he can hang in so far!"

"By the way, Lu Wenbin has scored several midfield lobs. He is really a long-range lob expert!"

"This kind of ball makes me angry when I look at it, it's awesome!"
