Chapter 101: The Attention of the First Team Manager

Playing at Hoffenheim Under-19 is a completely different style of play than at home.

In the previous training matches and warm-up games, Lu Wenbin felt that in the stronger Hoffenheim U19, he didn't need to frequently dribble the ball from the backfield all the way to break through the opponent's entire defense line to score.

Many times, as long as Lu Wenbin is waiting in front, the full-backs and midfield teammates will naturally try to pass the ball to the feet of the striker.

Through the test of the first two official games, Lu Wenbin's feelings are even stronger.

In these two official competitions, although Lu Wenbin also used speed, body, and dribbling to make personal breakthroughs, he actually did not have many times.

More often than not, in fact, as long as Lu Wenbin runs into the gap, his teammates pass the ball over, and most of the time they need to shoot and score by themselves.

In this case, the goal of Lu Wenbin's skill points and attributes is very clear, and the shooting attribute is added.

Even if Lu Wenbin's speed, body, and dribbling are average, as long as his kung fu is good enough, he can still stand out.

As for other attributes, wait for more skill points to be added, and then have an excellent attribute that surpasses ordinary players.

As a result, Lu Wenbin added all his 9 skill points to the potential value and current ability of the shooting attribute, so that the shooting attribute of 14/14 increased to 17/17.

If you only look at the shooting attributes, this is already the data of the world's top strikers in football, and they can occupy the top position in the top scorer list in the five major leagues.

In the Bundesliga, it is definitely outstanding. As for the German U19 regional league, it is even easier to crush the opponent.

The opponent's defensive interference ability in the youth team is not as high as that of the top league, and Lu Wenbin uses the shooting attributes of the top league's first-class striker to hit the goal, which is naturally easy to crush.

As long as Lu Wenbin is given the opportunity to shoot, the odds of hitting the woodwork and scoring are quite high.

After adding attribute points, Lu Wenbin couldn't wait to show his skills in the next league.

The youth team's next league game is Germany's last game before the winter break, and the opponents of the game are a bit of a coincidence: Hoffenheim's youth and first-team opponents are the same team.

In the 13th round of the 2007/2008 German U19 Southern Regional League, Hoffenheim U19 played away against Fürth U19 on December 15 at 11 a.m.

The 17th round of the German Second Division is also Hoffenheim's away match against Fürth, but it is only a day late, and the game time is 14 o'clock at noon on December 16.

After just two draws and one defeat in the last three Bundesliga games, Hoffenheim's first-team manager Ralph Rangnick is indeed a little anxious about his team's attacking power.

As it happens, youth director Nigel Noyes and Under-19 manager Ian Balfer have joined forces to recommend owner Hope to bring in young player Lu Wenbin from China in the summer.

Although Lu Wenbin is only 17 years old, he played a little early in the professional league, which can reach the threshold of 17 years old in the German professional league.

But who told Lu Wenbin to be too dazzling in the two games of the youth team, and Ralph just wanted to add and change the forward line?

So, on the morning of December 15, when the Hoffenheim U19 vs Fürth U19 match was about to begin, Hoffenheim's first-team coach Ralph Rangnick appeared on the sidelines of the game and stood with the U19 head coach Balfer.

Fürth is more than 200 kilometers away from Hoffenheim, and Ralph came to see Lu Wenbin's performance in this youth league in advance this morning, while the rest of the first team will arrive at Fürth in the afternoon to prepare for the next day's first team game.

The opponents of the youth team and the first team are the same, and they are all away, and the time difference is only one day, which is why Ralph just had time to watch Lu Wenbin's performance live.

Naturally, the players all saw Ralph Rangnick, although everyone understood that Ralph must have come to focus on Lu Wenbin, who scored 4 goals and 3 assists in two games.

However, everyone also wants to show a good performance, what if Ralph has a crush on them?

Even if you don't win this time, perform well and make a good impression, maybe the next time there is a shortage of people in the corresponding position in the first team, you will be transferred to the first team?

As a result, after the start of the game, Hoffenheim's players were a little anxious to show their individual ability, and everyone wanted to dribble the ball through five levels and six players, rush to the front to shoot, and there was almost no team cooperation.

Including Lu Wenbin, they were all a little anxious. When it was time to pass, he opted to shoot. When it was time to pass, he still shot.

Thus, in the opening 30 minutes, Hoffenheim were yet to score. Lu Wenbin's only few shots on goal failed to pose any threat.

The shooting attribute of 17/17 does not equal a hundred shots, it still depends on the timing. Either forcing a shot at a good time is the wrong thing to do.

On the contrary, it was Fürth U19 who scored a goal in the 28th minute by taking advantage of Hoffenheim's poor interception in the midfield and poor coordination of the backfield defense.

After Fürth U19 scored a goal, everyone turned their heads to look at the sidelines. When they saw Ralph and Ballfer on the sidelines, the two coaches shook their heads, and the Hoffenheim players woke up from a dream, including Lu Wenbin.

In fact, on the football field, each position has a different focus on players, and it is not necessary for everyone to be able to score several people in a row to be a good performance, and professional coaches will not only focus on the people who score goals like fans.

It is their job for the midfielders to do a good job of passing and assisting in interceptions, the backfield players to defend well and the goalkeepers to guard the goal.

The players who can be promoted to the U19 have gone through layers of selection, in fact, they all know in their hearts what the criteria for the selection of coaches are.

Just now, it was just because of the anxious mentality that everyone fought separately and gave the opponent a chance to take advantage of.

After Fürth U19 scored and woke everyone up, the Hoffenheim U19 players behaved much more normally.

At this time, Lu Wenbin, whose mentality had returned to normal, also began to use his personal ability to exert his power.

In the 37th minute, Lu Wenbin received a second pass from teammate Bernie Gershwin in the penalty area, and shot directly without stopping the ball, and the ball bypassed the goalkeeper's fingertips and flew into the far corner of the goal of the Fürth team.

The two Fürth defenders who were close by reached out in time but failed to touch the ball and destroy it.

It was really Lu Wenbin's speed of hitting the goal directly without stopping the ball was too fast, which was beyond their expectations.

If Lu Wenbin stops the ball and adjusts it before hitting the goal, he may not be able to score.

What can be scored into the corner without stopping the ball, this goal reflects the value of Lu Wenbin's 17/17 shooting attributes.

Not long after Lu Wenbin scored, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the first half ended with Hoffenheim 1-1 Fürth, and the two sides were tied.
