Seven Crowns

In another UEFA Cup quarter-final, which ended around the same time as Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen, Hamburg beat Premier League Manchester City 3-1 at home.

Although the opponent scored an away goal, the total score of the two goal difference still made Hamburg much easier than Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen's promotion prospects.

After returning to Hoffenheim after the away game with Werder Bremen, the main midfielder Gustavo unfortunately caught a cold and will definitely miss the next league game.

However, because of the UEFA Cup away draw with Werder Bremen, there is no certainty of victory after returning to home in the second leg.

Therefore, in the league between the two UEFA Cup quarter-finals, Ralph originally intended to rotate, and it would be good to let Gustavo, who has been starting for a long time and played the whole game, take a break.

On April 10, Bochum coach Kohler, who ranked fifth from the bottom in the Bundesliga and only 2 points away from the relegation zone, led his team to Rheinnekal County.

At the pre-match press conference, Kohler said that Bochum would not care whether Hoffenheim's schedule is tight or not, whether they want to compete for the championship or not. They are trying their best to save points and avoid relegation.

This match between Hoffenheim and the penultimate relegation team will not be easy.

Although the strength of the relegation team is relatively weak, but at the end of the season in any league, when the relegation team is desperately trying to avoid relegation, the game with them may be more difficult than the championship team.

Because the championship is only about honor, and the relegation battle is about life and death.

And Hoffenheim in order to save for the next UEFA Cup game with Werder Bremen, this game is impossible to play the main force, must be rotated, the game will be more difficult.

At 14:30 on April 11th, with the whistle of the referee, the 27th round of the 2008/2009 Bundesliga season officially started.

In this game, Ralph had a large rotation, Gustavo had a cold and rested, and it was a matter of course for Volssa to start a single midfielder.

Then there are Coppado and Eduardo as double attacking midfielders, the formation is 433, and Salihovic sits on the bench to prepare for the next game.

On the forward line, Pargic and Dembaba came off the bench, and the starters were Lu Wenbin, Sanogo and the returning Oubasi.

Full-back Baker and goalkeeper Ozjan have also been rotated.

Hoffenheim, where most of the team's main players have been replaced, has suffered a serious decline in strength, giving the Bochum team a lot of opportunities to attack desperately.

In the 11th minute, Bochum's center Epalai headed the ball into Hoffenheim's goal in a corner kick. Hoffenheim fell 0-1 at home to the relegation team Bochum.

However, Eduardo and Lu Wenbin, who cooperated tacitly in the frontcourt, will not make Bochum easier.

In the 18th minute, Eduardo forced the opponent's midfielder Imhoff to foul through continuous breakthroughs in the frontcourt, and gave Hoffenheim a free kick about 28 meters to the right of the goal.

Lu Wenbin, who had used his system skills for a free kick before, could only take the penalty himself this time, but now that his free kick technology is becoming more mature and his physique is stronger, Lu Wenbin’s free kick is more threatening.

Lu Wenbin's free kick successfully crossed the human wall, crossed an arc in the air and got into the upper right corner of the goal. Bochum goalkeeper Fernandez was beyond his reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.

For Lu Wenbin, scoring a free kick is nothing, but this ball has a different meaning, because he is already so close to that record.

Therefore, Caster, the commentator of Sinsheim City TV station, shouted "Toooooooooooooooor", and then excitedly explained to the Hoffenheim fans in front of the TV:

"Luo scored a direct free-kick, his 39th Bundesliga goal of the season, just one goal shy of the legendary Gerd Muller's record of 40 Bundesliga goals in a single season. We Witnessing a new legend!"

At the scene, the players of Hoffenheim also surrounded Lu Wenbin to celebrate warmly.

Eduardo called on everyone to continue to create opportunities for Lu Wenbin, let him score another goal, match Muller, and even stage a hat-trick to surpass Muller.

But Lu Wenbin shook his head and refused, telling everyone not to pass the ball to him deliberately. Because he follows the opponent's two defenders at any time, if the opportunity is not good, if the ball is broken, he will be counterattacked.

He hopes that his teammates will shoot by themselves when they have the opportunity, and scoring goals for the team is the most crucial.

As long as the team can win, what does it matter if the record is broken?

There is no reward for breaking records, only the team wins and wins the championship, there are rewards.

However, it is said that, but Lu Wenbin's achievements and prestige now have made his teammates willing to be Luye for him and contribute to him.

In the 37th minute, Copado received a pass from Eduardo for offside, and he had already formed a single-handed shot. As a result, Copado did not shoot when facing goalkeeper Fernandez, but passed the ball to the close behind. Lu Wenbin.

Because Lu Wenbin was behind him when Copado passed the ball, it was not considered offside.

Lu Wenbin easily scored the ball into the empty goal, and before he could celebrate, Copado rushed over excitedly and shouted: "The record is tied, Lu, you are as good as the bomber Gerd Mueller!"

The other teammates also rushed over like crazy, pulled Lu Wenbin to the ground, and excitedly stacked up Luohan.

Custer jumped up from the commentary seat and used all his strength to roar: "Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor..."

After changing his breath twice in a row and shouting for more than half a minute, Custer stopped and excitedly announced to all Hoffenheim fans in front of the TV:

"40 goals, 40 goals! Lue scored twice to score his 40th Bundesliga goal of the season, tying bomber Gerd Muller's 40 Bundesliga goals in a single season in 1971/1972. The record! Now, 18-year-old Lu has become a legend, and Hoffenheim will give birth to a legend!"

What appeared on the big screen at the scene was not the score of Hoffenheim's 2-1 lead at home against Bochum and the information of Lu Wenbin's goal, but the photos of Lu Wenbin and Gerd Muller.

In the middle of the half-length photo of the two is a large number "40", with "Legend of the Shoulder" written on the head, and the names of Lu Wenbin and Mueller below.

All the fans in the stands also stood up and applauded, cheering and paying tribute to Lu Wenbin, including the away fans of Bochum.

As for China, whether it is the commentators and guests in the CCTV live broadcast room, or the fans in front of the TV and the computer, they have all fallen into a carnival.

At a time when Chinese football is in complete decline and has been caught up in the scandals of cracking down on gangsterism and counterfeiting, there is still a player like Lu Wenbin who can match the legendary superstar Gerd Muller, which really makes many fans who really love football feel gratified and happy.
