Seven Crowns

When the opponent goes a step further and begins to send people to closely guard Lu Wenbin, the opponent's defensive strength in other places is bound to weaken. Lu Wenbin can also start to help his teammates move to open the gap and let other teammates shoot.

This is the tactical change Ralf made, not only to ensure more changes in the league, but also to retain some hope for the team's second-leg away challenge to Udinese.

After adjusting and redefining Lu Wenbin's position, the team conducted two days of adaptive training, and Lu Wenbin began to increase his running range in the midfield.

Although Lu Wenbin's physical consumption has increased, everyone is delighted to see that Lu Wenbin's shots have greatly increased, and the number of shots and goals within the goal frame has also increased.

Subsequently, on September 21, Hoffenheim ushered in the fifth round of the Bundesliga at home with Dortmund.

In addition to Dortmund's revenge for being eliminated by Hoffenheim in the Westfalenstadion in the quarter-finals of the German Cup last season, this game was also hyped by the Chinese and Korean media as an East Asian derby.

Because in Hoffenheim, there is a main player of the South Korean national team, Lee Young-pyo.

After helping Tottenham Hotspur win the English League Cup last season, Lee Young-pyo moved to Borussia Dortmund this summer and quickly secured his position as the main left back.

Lee Young-pyo was evaluated by his coach Martin Jol as one of the best left-backs in the Eredivisie when he was in PSV Eindhoven. At his peak, he could rule the entire wing by himself. Ke Shou is an outstanding representative of the undead spirit of Korean football.

However, Lee Young-pyo, who was born in 1977, is 31 years old this year, and he is physically unable to advance, attack, retreat or defend.

But his defensive strength and experience are still very good, otherwise he would not have secured his position as the main player just after transferring to Dortmund this year.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin is also the well-deserved main force and first core of the Hoffenheim team. Moreover, Lu Wenbin is a forward and Li Rongpyo is a defender. There must be many confrontations between the two on the field.

Therefore, it is not surprising that it was hyped by China and South Korea as the East Asian Derby to attract fans and increase ratings.

The two are worthy of such a label in terms of status and strength, and they are not the East Asian derby that used to be tricked.

In the attention of countless fans in China and South Korea, at 16:00 on September 21st, with the whistle of the referee, the fifth round of the 2008/2009 German Bundesliga match between Hoffenheim and Dortmund at home officially began. it has started.

In this game, Dortmund absorbed Udinese's experience in defending Lu Wenbin. They no longer just stared at Lu Wenbin defending alone, but consciously cut off the ball between the Hoffenheim teammates and Lu Wenbin in advance to prevent them from passing the ball. Pass it to Lu Wenbin.

Dortmund's defense is naturally stronger than those in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, and the defense against Lu Wenbin is still somewhat effective.

However, Hoffenheim, who had been prepared and trained secretly for two days, immediately made a change without Ralph's reminder, and Lu Wenbin's position began to fluctuate.

Lu Wenbin appeared on the left for a while, appeared on the right for a while, and ran to the midfield again. Within 40 meters of the front field, Lu Wenbin was everywhere.

Although running like this consumes a lot of physical energy, Lu Wenbin also managed to get rid of the cage of the Dortmund organization and gained a lot of opportunities.

For a free agent whose position is erratic, Dortmund, who is good at offensive football but not good at defense, has nothing to do with Lu Wenbin.

In the 6th minute, Lu Wenbin had a chance to shoot from outside the penalty area, but in the end the shot missed the goal slightly.

However, Lu Wenbin was not upset, and continued to move in the frontcourt looking for opportunities.

In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin exchanged positions with Salihovic, received a pass from Baker on the side of the front field, and then made a two-pass with Demba Ba and hit the wall to pass Li Rongpyo.

Then, Lu Wenbin cut inside and took a shot before the opponent's central defender stepped up.

The ball, like a precise cruise missile, fell into the dead corner of Dortmund's goal. Although goalkeeper Weidenfeller made a save, he missed the ball in the end and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Hoffenheim 1-0 Dortmund.

In the following time, Lu Wenbin also got free kicks and several shots, but in the end they all missed the goal.

Until the 43rd minute, at the end of the first half, after receiving a pass from Eduardo, Lu Wenbin, who is rarely outstanding in the Bundesliga, suddenly knocked Li Rongpyo down with two consecutive spikes from the corner of the penalty area. The penalty area, and then shoot successfully before the opponent's defender blocks the ball.

The ball stuck to the post and went into the goal, Weidenfeller failed to save the ball again, and Hoffenheim led 2-0.

It's not that Li Rongpyo failed to defend Lu Wenbin, but Lu Wenbin scored two goals in the end, and both of them were related to his breakthrough.

The so-called East Asian derby can basically declare Lu Wenbin's victory.

Regardless of whether the Koreans admit it or not, it is true.

Not two minutes after Lu Wenbin scored, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

When he left the field, Lu Wenbin, who had scored twice in the first half, was sweating profusely, panting heavily, feeling a little tired.

Originally, the UEFA Cup game against Udinese required more running than the Bundesliga, and the pressure was also very high. Lu Wenbin also played the whole game and scored a goal.

Now only three days have passed since his UEFA Cup match, and he didn't have enough rest. Lu Wenbin changed his playing style and increased his running range and distance, which naturally made him even more tired.

Therefore, with the team already leading 2-0, in order to allow Lu Wenbin to save more energy for the second round away game against Udinese, Ralph replaced Lu Wenbin during the intermission .

For Lu Wenbin himself, he has already scored two goals. Even if the team loses in the second half and has no winning experience, he can still be promoted.

Therefore, in order to reserve more physical strength for the UEFA Cup game, Lu Wenbin had no objection and calmly accepted the decision to be replaced by the head coach.

In the second half, after Lu Wenbin, the most threatening person, left the field, Dortmund finally invested more troops in the attack, and finally succeeded in scoring a goal by their striker Valdes.

However, for Hoffenheim, Ibisevic also turned and hit the goal after receiving the ball in the penalty area in the 77th minute.

Finally, at the end of the game, the score was 3-1. Hoffenheim defeated Dortmund at home and achieved five consecutive Bundesliga victories. Lu Wenbin scored twice in just 45 minutes of the first half. .

Neither Hoffenheim nor Lu Wenbin collapsed because of the defeat in the first round of the UEFA Cup, which disappointed many media who wanted to see Hoffenheim's jokes.
