Seven Crowns

At the Karl Benz Stadium, Lu Wenbin, who finally scored a goal in the Bundesliga with a beautiful midfield lob shot, ran to the sidelines and swooped in celebration.

The excited Hoffenheim players also dived behind Lu Wenbin, gliding on the grass of Karl Benz like a group of bombers.

They were really lost by Neuer, thinking that Hoffenheim could not score today.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wenbin took the initiative to retreat, and then hit a long-range lob shot from Neuer, teaching Neuer to be a man.

At the critical moment, Lu Wenbin is still more powerful.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands also clapped and screamed excitedly, shouting the name "Lu-Lu-Lu", and paid homage to Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin scored a goal and after Hoffenheim took a 1-0 lead, Schalke 04 could not stabilize.

They are currently ranked seventh in the league and have a chance to win European competitions and even qualify for the Champions League. Therefore, every game is bound to fight, try to get league points as much as possible.

In a draw, everyone is safe, and a point against Hoffenheim away is acceptable.

But after the score fell behind, Schalke 04 could not stabilize.

Thinking of the big words he said before the game that he could freeze Lu Wenbin, prevent him from scoring a goal, and then lead his team to win the game, Ruteng felt a little gloomy.

Although those big words are meant to boost morale, it is a fact that Lu Wenbin has scored a goal, Schalke is 04 behind, and he has been beaten in the face.

Anyway, they are already behind, it is better to fight to see if they can equalize or even reverse the score.

So, Ruten stood on the sidelines, greeted his players, and waved his palms in the direction of Hoffenheim's goal, signaling everyone to increase their offensive efforts.

After the restart of the game, Schalke 04 pressed on the whole and launched an attack on Hoffenheim using the kick-off right.

Compared with the offensive line, Hoffenheim's back line is indeed a bit uneven, with fewer people and weaker strength.

In addition, the goalkeeper is not as good as Neuer, a door god like Neuer.

From the 65th minute to the 80th minute, Schalke 04 had a total of 4 chances on goal.

But their shooting accuracy was too far from Lu Wenbin's. Only one of the four shots hit the door frame, and Ozjan tried his best to save it.

Just as Schalke 04 was trying hard to continue the attack and strive for a goal, Hoffenheim intercepted the ball and played a high-speed counterattack in the 81st minute.

Gustavo broke the ball from the opponent's attacking midfielder and passed it to Salihovic. Salihovic smashed the ball and passed the midfielder Jones, who was grabbed by the opponent, and then slammed the ball into the center back Hweed. behind s.

Demba Ba moved forward at the right time, successfully turned offside from the back line, and pounced behind Hevedes.

Frightened, Hevedes tried to turn around and chase, but unexpectedly slipped and fell to the ground, leaving only the other central defender Kerstajic chasing Dembaba's back.

However, Neuer has already rushed out of the penalty area, running towards the ball, trying to make a clearance, only to see who touches the ball first between him and Dembaba.

In the end, Deng Baba was on the line, touched the ball first, and threw the ball away, but was then brought down to the ground by Neuer who was flying and shovelling.

However, Deng Baba jumped up in time after swiping the ball away. Although he was brought down by Neuer's body, he cushioned himself in time when he landed and was not injured, but it seemed that he fell badly.

At this time, Lu Wenbin and Ibisevic both plugged in from both sides to prepare for a response, but after seeing Demba Ba being downed, Ibisevic stopped and was ready to find the Neuer theory of fouling.

Ernst, who followed Lu Wenbin, thought that the referee would call Neuer a foul, and on the other hand, in order to protect his teammate Neuer from being retaliated by Ibisevic, he quickly left Lu Wenbin and ran to the scene of the accident.

However, Lu Wenbin didn't care so much, and continued to chase the football that Dengbaba was wading to the edge of the penalty area.

The referee, who was about to blow the whistle with the whistle in his mouth, looked at the distance between Lu Wenbin and the ball.

Looking at Deng Baba, who didn't seem to be injured on the ground, he raised his hands forward and made a gesture that the attack was favorable and the game continued.

Then, the referee left Dembaba and Neuer on the ground, as well as Ibisevic, Entes, Kerstajic and others around, and ran towards the goal of Schalke 04.

Everyone was shocked and turned to look towards the goal of Schalke 04. Only then did they see that Lu Wenbin was about to catch up with the ball.

The members of Schalke 04 suddenly changed their faces and rushed back, but it was too late.

A few meters away from the bottom line, Lu Wenbin caught up with the football. He didn't stop the ball, and kicked the ball directly to the empty goal.

Although the angle is a bit small, Lu Wenbin's 20/20 shooting attributes, in the case of no interference, still easily sent the ball into the empty goal.

And Schalke midfielder Rakitic, who was the first to catch up behind Lu Wenbin, did not rush into the goal until the ball crossed the goal line and kicked the ball out.

But at this time, it was of no avail. The referee, who had already run to the line of the big penalty area, knew what to do, and without hesitation, he circled his fingers and blew the whistle that the goal was effective.

In the 81st minute, Lu Wenbin scored twice to help Hoffenheim lead Schalke 04 2-0.

The players of Schalke 04 were naturally very annoyed and pointed to the site where Neuer knocked down Dembaba, claiming that Neuer had committed a foul, the referee should suspend the game and let Hoffenheim take a free kick. Lu Wenbin should be invalidated. .

As a result, at this moment, Deng Baba on the ground rolled over and climbed up and rushed into the team celebrating with Lu Wenbin and other teammates.

The referee smiled and said: "Demba Ba was not injured, and Neuer's tackle was not aimed at anyone, and the foul was not serious. Therefore, based on the principle of favorable offense, there is no problem with my penalty!"

Then, the referee ignored the Schalke 04 players.

The foul just now should really be called, but Dengbaba was not injured, and the circumstances of Neuer's foul were not serious.

Seeing that Lu Wenbin was about to catch up with the ball and hit the empty goal, if he had stopped the game at that time, it would have wiped out Hoffenheim's scoring chances.

In this case, a shot against an empty goal is naturally better than a free kick.

Therefore, based on the principle of favorable offense, there is no problem in the referee's choice of the game to continue, and the complaints after the match of Schalke 04 are useless.

If they besieged the referee again, the referee may really have to give them cards.

The Schalke 04 players could only disperse angrily, waiting for Hoffenheim to celebrate and prepare to kick off again.
