Seven Crowns

In the world's homage to Barcelona's treble, on May 29, Hoffenheim flew to Berlin the day before the German Cup final.

They will compete with Werder Bremen for the German Cup this season at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on May 30, which is also Hoffenheim's last official match of the season.

If Hoffenheim beat Werder Bremen to win the championship, they will complete the small triple crown of the Bundesliga, German Cup and UEFA Cup.

At this time, after two days of heated discussions in Barcelona, ​​as the German Cup final approached, the media and fans paid some attention to Hoffenheim.

Even if the gold content of the UEFA Cup is smaller, it is still a European champion after all, and can be regarded as part of the Triple Crown.

In particular, Hoffenheim's newly-promoted status is even more legendary.

For a country club that has never played in the top league, it is still very gimmicky to win the triple crown in the first season of being promoted to the top league.

What's more, Lu Wenbin, who played 48 times and scored 79 goals throughout the season, is also the target of the world's media and fans.

Everyone wants to see if he can still score in the last game of the season, and whether he can improve the club's highest scoring record in a single season from Gerd Muller's 67 goals to breaking the 80-goal mark.

In this regard, Hoffenheim is quite confident.

Not only is he confident in Hoffenheim's victory over Bremen to win the championship, but he is also confident in Lu Wenbin's goal to break the 80-goal mark.

Because in training, everyone found that Lu Wenbin's ability to run without the ball has improved again.

On the first day of resuming training on May 24, Lu Wenbin used 3 skill points to increase the original 19/19 without the ball to the full value of 20/20, and the remaining 17 skill points did not move.

Then, during the training, everyone found that even the two of them couldn't keep an eye on Lu Wenbin. Lu Wenbin's ability to catch the gap and run is too strong.

Fortunately, the teammates' ability to pass and assist has not reached the peak. Even if Lu Wenbin ran out of space, sometimes he could not receive the ball.

However, even so, Lu Wenbin can easily score two or three goals in a training match under the close guard of two people.

And not a game or two, but for several days in a row,

This is much more stable than the occasional burst.

That is to say, if Lu Wenbin can exert his strength on the training ground, his average goals per game may exceed 2 goals, which is a goal efficiency that no one has ever achieved.

When participating in the pre-match press conference, Ralph expressed confidence that Hoffenheim is bound to win the German Cup and the Triple Crown.

Werder Bremen coach Schaff said that this is the only championship they can fight for this season, and they will do their best to win the championship by defeating Hoffenheim at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The next afternoon, countless Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen fans, as well as neutral spectators, gathered at the Berlin Olympic Sports Center.

This time Hoffenheim fans finally prevailed.

Bundesliga champions, UEFA Cup champions, and continuous outstanding performances have made Hoffenheim's Huo Village miracle world-famous, attracting more and more neutral audiences, and the number of Hoffenheim fans is increasing.

Not only Sinsheim, but also many people in the capital Berlin have become fans of Hoffenheim!

Because many people think that a country club in Hoffenheim can achieve what it is today, it is really inspirational!

They are not only watching football, not only being fans, but taking the success of Hoffenheim as a spiritual belief, encouraging themselves not to give up on themselves in life because of temporary difficulties and weaknesses, but to move forward bravely.

Such spiritual connotation allows Hoffenheim to attract countless middle- and lower-class fans to become their fans!

The previous UEFA Cup final was in Istanbul, Turkey. After all, it was a foreign country, which was a bit inconvenient!

Now that the German Cup final is in China, it is much more convenient for fans to flock to Berlin to cheer for the teams they support!

It is estimated that there were 40,000 to 50,000 Hoffenheim fans who flocked to the Berlin Olympic Sports Center that day, while there were only 20,000 to 30,000 Werder Bremen fans!

Of course, because the Berlin Olympic Sports Center only has more than 70,000 seats, there are still many local citizens and neutral fans from other places participating in the rush for tickets. In the end, the fans of Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen will definitely not be able to enter the stadium.

Everyone can only watch the open-air live broadcast in the square outside to cheer for the team!

As time passed, the stadium began to check tickets, fans gradually filled up the seats, and the final was about to begin.

After an entrance ceremony and shaking hands, at 19:00 local time on May 30, the 2008/2009 DFB Cup final of Hoffenheim VS Werder Bremen officially started.

Hoffenheim still insisted on their 433 offensive formation unchanged, while Werder Bremen adopted a 451 formation, based on the defense, wanted to prevent Hoffenheim's attack, and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

In fact, the defensive counterattack is a very good tactic. Many master coaches have won the championship with defensive counterattacks in the finals.

But sometimes under the crushing of absolute strength, the defensive counterattack can only be passively beaten.

That's how the game went.

Although Werder Bremen is a traditional strong team in Germany, it only ranks 10th in the Bundesliga this season, which has explained a lot of problems.

Bremen's comprehensive strength this season, let alone the competition with Hoffenheim, who became the European champion, can only be regarded as the middle class in Germany.

In addition, after Lu Wenbin increased the off-ball running attribute to the full value of 20/20, it was difficult for Bremen to use two or three people to mark him at any time.

After all, the players are all running, and no one can stick to Lu Wenbin and stare at him for 90 minutes.

Lu Wenbin's insight into the gap and his running ability made Bremen's defenders unable to keep up.

Only 5 minutes into the game, Lu Wenbin used a sudden change of direction to run out of a gap on the line of the big penalty area.

If it weren't for Salihovic's passing a step slower, causing Lu Wenbin to be caught up by Bremen captain Baumann when he hit the goal, I'm afraid Hoffenheim would have taken the lead.

Even so, just the shot from the sliding door made Bremen's players and fans break into a cold sweat.

The commentators were also shouting in the commentary box. Straight Lu Wenbin was in a hot state today. Even if the goal was missed, it is estimated that Bremen was in a bad way.

Werder Bremen wants to prevent Hoffenheim from winning the Triple Crown, it seems like a mirror, almost impossible!

Sure enough, in the 15th minute, Hoffenheim made a comeback.

Eduardo played a two-for-one match with Dembaba on the wing and then slanted into the penalty area to look like he was going to shoot into the penalty area, causing the Bremen defender and goalkeeper in the penalty area to be nervous for a while. Eduardo moves here.

Lu Wenbin suddenly threw off Bowman and Pledel's markings under his full off-ball running attributes, and ran out of a short gap outside the top of the penalty area.
