But now they are 3 behind at half time.
This score and Lu Wenbin’s performance like the king of the ball completely destroyed their confidence and morale. They have no confidence in beating Hoffenheim to advance to the final.
Chapter 134 A memorable Italian ball
Shortly after Lu Wenbin finished his hat trick, the referee blew the half-time whistle.
At halftime, Ralph felt that the score of 3 was very safe and Jena couldn’t make a comeback, so he prepared to exchange Lu Wenbin at halftime.
After all, Lu Wenbin’s physical attributes are 1212. He can’t reach the state of starting in a row and running for 9 minutes in every game.
This is also the reason why Lu Wenbin rarely returns to the midfield to catch the ball and make a long-distance attack after entering the Hoffenheim first team. Almost all the balls run around the penalty area and wait for the final blow.
On the one hand, Hoffenheim has powerful midfield organizers such as Salihovic and Eduardo, and more than one does not need Lu Wenbin to withdraw from the center and back court to get the ball.
On the other hand, Lu Wenbin’s physical fitness can no longer support him to play football like the national high school league in the German Cup and the German B match.
Ralph can’t see Lu Wenbin’s physical attributes, but the coaching staff has a professional physical fitness coach who can observe where Lu Wenbin’s physical limit is.
It’s not that Lu Wenbin can’t play for 9 minutes in this game, but that he has a 3-lead and almost sealed the victory. Ralph wants to replace Lu Wenbin to ensure a higher winning rate in the next league.
But when Ralph said to Lu Wenbin, "Come and rest at half time," Lu Wenbin immediately shook his head and objected
"Coach, I hope to play for nine minutes. Everyone knows that the famous Istanbul Miracle Night is A Milan’s 3-lead situation at half-time. Liverpool scored three goals at half-time and finally lost the Champions League. Therefore, I hope to continue to stay and try to score one or two more goals, and I will always stay to keep the deterrent effect on Jena. I can’t give them hope to turn over."
This is the first time that Lu Wenbin has confirmed his disagreement with the head coach.
It is also because Lu Wenbin has the strength and status of opinion today, and it is nothing to have a legitimate objection once in a while.
Of course, Lu Wenbin actually said that the Istanbul night incident was a superficial justification and an excuse. In his heart, he did not believe that Jena players who were depressed just now could pull back the disadvantage of three goals at half-time.
The real reason for his objection to the head coach is his unified experience.
Lu Wenbin’s aim is to get Ralph to keep him in the game for another goal.
The experience of the German Cup is twice as high as that of the German League B. Lu Wenbin has scored a hat trick in this game, but he will not be satisfied. He will continue to strive for goals and gain more experience.
After all, a goal is 2 points of experience.
If you can earn enough experience in this game, you will be closer to upgrading to level 12.
There are still a few rounds before the final. Maybe Lu Wenbin can get another level and get a skill point reward before the German Cup final.
That will increase your chances of beating Bayern Munich or Wolfsburg in the final.
However, the real reason for Yu Tong is naturally not to be said, so Lu Wenbin found an Istanbul night case for the head coach.
Ralph listened to Lu Wenbin’s reasons, but although he didn’t believe Jena could make a comeback after falling behind by 3, Lu Wenbin said that it was really worthy of vigilance, and he should not neglect his enemy just because he was leading by 3 at half-time.
Therefore, after considering it for a while, Ralph agreed with Lu Wenbin’s statement, generously admitted his ideological mistakes, and took this opportunity to wake up his players and said
"I really underestimated Lu. It’s right that we can’t be happy too soon. If we are finally turned over by Jena like Istanbul A Milan, we will become a laughing stock. Therefore, Lu will continue to stay in the field at half time, and you will also give me attention to prevent Jena from rebounding and continue to put pressure on Jena in the frontcourt. If you can continue to score goals, you can score as many as you can and completely kill the game."
The players should say "yes" together.
After the half-time, the coach of the Jena team may have really made some incentives at the half-time. The Jena players regained their morale and began to continue their tenacious defense and tried to counterattack and make a big reversal.
And they really scored a goal.
In the 53rd minute, when Eduardo made a personal breakthrough, his opponent intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack. The Jena No.9 striker made a long-distance attack and shot the Hofenheim goal successfully.
Jena pulled back a point and the score became Hoffenheim 31 Jena.
Seeing this scene, Ralph Lannick really began to worry. "Don’t really happen like Istanbul."
Good halftime listened to Lu Wenbin’s advice and there was no substitution or the strength of the main players did not drop.
In particular, Lu Wenbin, who has always wanted to score more goals and gain more unified experience, quickly proved that Ralph did not make the right decision in exchange for him.
Although Jena players pay great attention to the fact that there are few fouls in the 3-meter range, sometimes it is inevitable to foul in a hurry.
In the 6th minute, Salihovic broke through with the ball and caused the opponent to foul, which gave Hoffenheim an intentional goal.
And this opportunity Salihovic was handed over to Lu Wenbin to take the penalty.
Although the unified skills have been cooled, Lu Wenbin did not refuse.
After such a long period of practice, observation and feeling, Lu Wenbin’s level of skill, movement, strength and so on is already very high.
It is because in the official competition, the door frame hit rate is not as high as the unified skill, and the angle is not so stable and sharp, so I have never been able to score a goal through my own penalty.
This time, without special skills, Lu Wenbin can make free throws himself.
After the Jena wall is lined up and the referee blows the whistle for free throws, Lu Wenbin runs a few steps and then kicks the football.
In the attention of the fans, Lu Wenbin kicked out the football and jumped over the top of the wall, then drew a weak arc and hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal.
Lu Wenbin completed a direct Italian ball shot and scored a goal with his own skills of studying, training and shooting 22 shots for the first time outside the penalty area.
For Lu Wenbin, this is a memorable direct ball of great significance.

Seeing the ball fly into the net, Lu Wenbin suddenly turned excitedly and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with a long sliding knee.
