His teammates continued to waste chances until the 72nd minute, when Lu Wenbin ran out of space outside the big ban zone to receive a pass from Salihovic.

Before the opponent surrounded him, Lu Wenbin shot directly from outside the forbidden area.

The ball passed through the crowd in the no-go zone and into the Borussia Mönchengladbach goal on turf.

……

After the 23rd round of the Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hoffenheim entered the Champions League preparation time.

Lu Wenbin began to use dribbling more in training, and although it was not to the point of passing others, it was a little higher than his previous success rate.

On February 22, Hoffenheim arrived two days early in the seaport city of Piraeus near the Greek capital Athens, the city where Hoffenheim's Champions League 1/8 final opponent Olympiacos is located.

As the first place in the group stage of the Champions League, Hoffenheim automatically enjoyed a more favorable schedule in the 1/8 finals.

Therefore, they will have to travel to Olympiacos first.

Olympiacos is a giant of the Greek Super League, having won seven consecutive Greek Super League titles, reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 1998/1999 season and currently sitting second in the Greek Super League, two points behind arch-rivals Panathinaikos.

Facing Hoffenheim, the leader of the Bundesliga, in the quarter-finals, Olympiacos can only hope for the first leg of the home game.

In the second leg of the away game, Olympiacos did not expect much.

Once, they set an embarrassing record of 31 consecutive away winless games in the Champions League, which shows how bad their away performance is.

Although the record was later ended, Olympiacos' away form did not fundamentally change.

Therefore, they will have to beat Hoffenheim at home to have any hope of progressing to the quarter-finals.

Of course, this one is very difficult.

It is not easy to attack and defend Lu Wenbin to avoid Hoffenheim from scoring away goals.

Olympiacos' coaches and players can only do their best.

For Hoffenheim, it's simpler.

Although Olympiacos is a giant club in Greece, it is not enough to see in the entire European football world, Hoffenheim only needs to play their football well and play the level they are training in, I believe it will not be difficult to win.

Moreover, Greece is located in the south, and the weather is much warmer than in Germany.

For the entire Hoffenheim squad that was still playing in the rain around zero degrees in the previous games, the average temperature in Greece is now in the 10s is simply too warm.

Therefore, in the first leg of the 2009/2010 Champions League 1/8 final on February 23, Hoffenheim played Olympiacos away, and the Hoffenheim players, including Lu Wenbin, were much more excited.

One is that the meaning of the Champions League itself is different, and the other is the impact of the better weather on everyone.

Once the game began, Hoffenheim quickly turned the game back against the visitors, bombarding Olympiacos away from home.

Although Olympiacos wants to beat Hoffenheim with a goal at home and retain the hope of qualifying, the huge difference in strength makes them have to choose to defend against Lu Wenbin, Ibisevic, and Demba Ba.

As a result, Olympiacos is seriously short of people in the frontcourt, and even if there are occasional counter-attack opportunities, they can't take advantage of them.

In the 12th minute, Olympiacos grabbed the ball and played a counterattack, but their striker was isolated with the ball in front, and finally Gustavo, Simunic, and Nilsson grabbed the ball and intercepted the ball, and they didn't even have time to shoot.

On the other hand, Hoffenheim had more chances to shoot.

In the 6th minute, Lu Wenbin pulled away two defenders through running, and Ibisevic got an open shot in the middle.

It's just that his shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Puldis.

In the 9th minute, Lu Wenbin himself got a chance to shoot, but the ball was touched by the opponent's defender who made up for the defense and missed the goal.

The constant attack finally paid off in the 22nd minute.

Although the opponent played a defensive counterattack, and the crowd in the forbidden area was dense, it was difficult to form shooting opportunities, but there were still many long-range shooting opportunities outside the forbidden area.

In the 22nd minute, Lu Wenbin got the ball outside the corner of the forbidden area and shot directly with his feet, and the ball circled in the air in an arc, bypassing the palm of Puldis who was saving in the air, and drilled into the far corner of the goal.

Lu Wenbin opened the scoring and gave Hoffenheim a 1-0 lead away from home and scored an away goal, and Lu Wenbin's Champions League goals this season also reached 14.

The German commentator Dickenson suddenly shouted: "Toooooooor......"

"Scored, Lou scored!"

"There's no goal that Lu can't break!"

"It was Lu's 14th goal of the season and he equalled AC Milan star Altafini's record of 14 goals in a single season in the Champions League set in 1962/1963!"

"This game is not over yet, this season's Champions League is not over yet, and Lu still has a chance to break Altafini's Champions League single-season goal record!"

More than 1,000 Hoffenheim fans who traveled with the team to Greece also let out loud cheers to celebrate Lu Wenbin's record-breaking goal.

Lu Wenbin also celebrated with his teammates for a while, and the game resumed.

After falling behind at home, Olympiacos fell into even greater passivity, and they had to commit their forces to attack and equalize, or even reverse the score.

However, when they started attacking, there were more opportunities left for Hoffenheim at the back.

In the 31st minute, Eduardo disguised the ball to Lu Wenbin to deceive the opponent, but passed the ball to Demba Ba in the forbidden area.

Demba Ba met the ball and shot angrily, and the ball flew into the net like lightning.

Demba Ba scored his first goal since returning from injury to give Hoffenheim two away goals and a 2-0 lead.
