Chapter 356 Champions League One/Four Finals

Hoffenheim's home game VS Olympiacos is also the last game of the Champions League 1/8 finals this season. After the game, all the rosters for the 2009/2010 season's Champions League quarter-finals have been produced.

In the end, Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, Lyon, and CSKA Moscow advanced to the quarterfinals.

Real Madrid was really eliminated by Lyon in the 1/8 finals, and it stopped in the top 16 of the Champions League for the sixth consecutive season.

On the second day after the end of the game, on March 18, 2010, UEFA held a draw ceremony for the quarter-finals.

Hoffenheim was lucky again and drew Lyon in Ligue 1.

This is not the weakest team in the top 8, but it is obviously much easier to deal with than Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, Arsenal and other teams.

In the first season of Hoffenheim's Champions League, Lu Wenbin's first appearance in the Champions League feels like UEFA has been recommending Huo Cun to advance.

The other matchups are Bayern Munich VS Manchester United, Inter Milan VS CSKA Moscow, Arsenal VS Barcelona.

Except for Inter Milan who is a little more relaxed, none of the other four giants fighting against each other has it easy.

The media is generally optimistic that Hoffenheim and Inter Milan will advance to the semi-finals, and no one is sure about the remaining two semi-finals.

After the draw ceremony, amidst the heated discussions among the media and fans, Hoffenheim ushered in the 27th round of the Bundesliga.

On March 20, in the 27th round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim challenged Nuremberg away.

For Hoffenheim, the third-line battle schedule is really tight.

Three days after this away league game, it will be the semi-finals of the German Cup.

The league's points lead is huge, but the German Cup is a game that determines the outcome.

Now that they have already entered the semi-finals, Hoffenheim naturally wants to go to the final and the championship, and it is impossible to be careless about the German Cup.

Therefore, in this away game against Nuremberg, Ralph only brought a half-main and half-substitute rotation lineup, allowing some of the main players to rest and prepare for the German Cup semi-finals.

For Nuremberg, which is playing at home, it is natural to go all out.

After the first 26 rounds, Nuremberg ranked fourth from the bottom, only 1 point away from the last three relegation zones, and the relegation situation is very severe.

Therefore, the Nuremberg players were very desperate in this game.

It is a fact that the relegation team is poor, but when the relegation team is desperate, it is not easy to play.

The same is true for this game.

Hoffenheim, who played half as the main force and half as a substitute, only narrowly won 2-1 in the away game. Both goals came from Lu Wenbin.

But the price of victory was that Gustavo and Pargic were injured, and Jaisler was sent off with a red card.

Fortunately, Ralph made a rotation in advance, and Hoffenheim does not lack the lineup for the next German Cup game.

Lu Wenbin, who scored 2 goals, got 20,000 for 2 goals + 20,000 for winning, a total of 40,000 experience, and the system experience rose to 4.855 million/5 million at level 17.

After the game, Lu Wenbin received a lot of media coverage.

Because Lu Wenbin scored twice in this away game, the total number of goals in his career at Hoffenheim reached 200.

And these 200 goals, he only used 106 games.

Lu Wenbin has undoubtedly become the top scorer in the history of the Hoffenheim team, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass him for a long time, even if other players have played longer than Lu Wenbin and played more games than Lu Wenbin.

It is really that Lu Wenbin's scoring efficiency is too high, with an average efficiency of around 1.9 goals per game, no one in world football can match it.

With such a performance, some people even shouted that even if Lu Wenbin does not win the Champions League this year, he will not be able to participate in the World Cup, but the FIFA Ballon d'Or after the merger of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer must be awarded to Lu Wenbin.

It is really Lu Wenbin's personal performance that is too dazzling, in the eyes of many people, it has surpassed the collective honor.

Of course, if Lu Wenbin can win the Champions League and even lead Hoffenheim to a triple crown, then the Golden Globe Award will be more stable.

Amidst the heated discussion and worship of Lu Wenbin by countless people, on March 23, the 2009/2010 German FA Cup semi-finals, Hoffenheim ushered in their opponent Augsburg at home.

The Bundesliga team Augsburg is the dark horse of the German Cup this season, eliminating Freiburg, Cologne and other Bundesliga teams all the way to the semi-finals.

However, in the face of Hoffenheim, which is almost the main force and going all out in the Rhein-Neckar Arena, Augsburg's dark horse road is over.

In the first half alone, the all-out Hoffenheim conceded 3 goals to Augsburg amidst the cheers of the home fans.

In the second half, Hoffenheim made persistent efforts and scored 2 more goals. Finally, they beat Augsburg 5-1 at home and advanced to the final.

Augsburg was in the final stage of the game, and Ralph scored a face-saving goal after replacing Lu Wenbin and Eduardo.

Lu Wenbin scored two sports goals and a free kick in this game, completed a hat-trick, scored 3 goals 6000 + won 4000, a total of 10,000 experience rewards, and the experience has risen to level 17 4.865 million / 5 million .

On the second day, another DFB-Pokal semi-final was decided. Bayern Munich drew 0-0 with Schalke 04 in 90 minutes, and they were eliminated 1-0 in 120 minutes with a goal in extra time. Schalke 04 advanced to the final.

Following the 2007/2008 season, Hoffenheim once again met Bayern Munich in the German Cup final.

Whether Hoffenheim continues to step on the body of the Bundesliga giant to win the German Cup for three consecutive times, or whether Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim will not be announced until the German Cup final day on May 15.

After the German Cup semi-final, on March 28, in the 28th round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim played against Freiburg at home.

Because only three days later is the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals with Lyon, and it is still an away game.

Therefore, this league game was strategically abandoned by Ralph.

Even Lu Wenbin was put on the bench by Ralph for the first time. Even though Lu Wenbin said that his physical fitness was fine, Ralph put him on the bench to prevent injury.

Ralph doesn't know that Lu Wenbin's injury tendency is 0, and Freiburg is deep in the relegation zone and ranks second to last in the relegation team.

Gustavo and Pargic were injured in the last round against the relegation team Nuremberg, and Ralph didn't want to take any risks.

With the league still leading the second place by nearly 10 points, it is clear that the quarter-finals of the Champions League are more important to Ralph than the league.

If the time interval is longer, they can still fight with the main force on two lines, but the two games are only 3 days apart, and Lyon is still an away game, so Ralph has to give up the league.

Most of the teams were substitutes, Hoffenheim failed to win the opponent, and was tied 1-1 at home by the desperate Freiburg.

Lu Wenbin came off the bench in the 85th minute of the second half, failed to score a goal, and failed to help Hoffenheim win. Naturally, he did not receive any experience rewards.

Of course, no one cared about it.

Everyone knows that Hoffenheim's focus is on the Champions League quarter-finals with Lyon three days later.
