Chapter 452: Welcome Back to Hoffenheim (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Six days after the away defeat to Juventus, Inter Milan, who returned to their home stadium, slaughtered Cagliari under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.

On February 19, in the 26th round of Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Cagliari, which is ranked 9th in the standings.

In this game, Lu Wenbin got two free kick opportunities in the 16th and 84th minutes respectively.

Then, in these two free kicks, Lu Wenbin turned on the special skill of intermediate free kicks, and the system kicked the ball in, and staged a brace from the free kick.

And, in the sports battle, Lu Wenbin also scored a long-distance counterattack goal, and also had an assist.

Lu Wenbin scored four goals by himself.

Stankovic also set up Samuel Eto'o's goal.

Cagliari only scored a face-saving goal towards the end of the game.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was 5-1 on the big screen, with Inter Milan slaughtering Cagliari 5-1 at home.

Lu Wenbin scored a hat-trick and had an assist, and the goal-scoring super striker was in place.

This made fans feel a lot more relieved for the next Champions League 1/8 final match.

Inter Milan's next game is the 2010/2011 Champions League quarter-final away to Hoffenheim, a repeat of last season's Champions League final.

Although Hoffenheim has gone many main players, including Lu Wenbin, after all, it is still the defending champion, which cannot be underestimated, and Lu Wenbin's state can make fans feel at ease.

Generally speaking, when playing a Champions League away game in advance to a foreign country for adaptive training, it is impossible for the opponent to provide a training place for his side, and he can only find a training base for the opponent's rival team.

For example, Bayern Munich played Real Madrid away, and they basically had to go to Atletico Madrid's training base for adaptation training.

Then, Real Madrid played Bayern Munich away, and Real Madrid could only go to the training base in Munich 1860 for adaptive training.

This is the case with most cross-border competitions.

But this time Inter were treated differently.

After the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, Hoffenheim took the initiative to contact Inter Milan, saying that Inter Milan could use their training base instead of looking further afield to Mannheim FC.

Obviously, this is Lu Wenbin's face at work, and Hoffenheim doesn't mind providing the opponent with a training ground.

At present, Hoffenheim has been eliminated from the German Cup and is ranked 9th in the Bundesliga standings, which is completely incomparable to the power of winning all the championships in previous seasons, God blocking and killing God, Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, and it can be said to have created a dynasty.

When Lu Wenbin transferred to Inter Milan last summer, there were indeed many Huocun fans who gritted their teeth with hatred for Lu Wenbin, feeling that Lu Wenbin betrayed them and Hoffenheim, who gave him a chance to start his career.

But with the passage of time, the hatred gradually died out, compared with Hoffenheim's current results, Lu Wenbin left them the Champions League champion, the treble, the Huocun miracle, etc., have become everyone's precious memories.

Now don't talk about the club, even among the fan groups, there is only nostalgia for Lu Wenbin.

Therefore, when Inter Milan arrived in Huo Village on February 21 two days early, they were welcomed not only by the club, but also by thousands of Huo villagers.

There were even many fans from Rhein-Neckar County and Sinsheim City who drove to greet Lu Wenbin.

Many fans played the slogan "Lu, welcome home" to extend a warm welcome to Lu Wenbin's arrival.

When the bus entered the village, the cheers of the fans along the road made Lu Wenbin feel like he had returned to his days in Hoffenheim.

Lu Wenbin opened the window and thanked the fans again and again, which caused a lot of jubilation among the fans.

The bus then entered Hoffenheim's training base, which allocated a training ground for Inter Milan to train.

Lu Wenbin went to meet with chairman Hope, head coach Ralph, and former teammates who have not yet left.

Everyone congratulated Lu Wenbin on winning the FIFA Golden Ball Award, Asian Cup, and Laureus Award, and Lu Wenbin also expressed encouragement to the whole Hoffenheim team, hoping that the team will continue to maintain high morale and become a real giant team in the Bundesliga.

Afterwards, players from both sides occupied a training ground and began their preparations.

After the first day of training, Lu Wenbin also signed hundreds of fans, including many familiar faces, and everyone talked happily.

Moreover, the other players all lived in hotels, only Lu Wenbin returned to the house in the village where he rented, and the landlord asked the housekeeper to clean it regularly, and Lu Wenbin could move in directly when he came.

A day later, on February 23, it was the day of the match between the two sides.

In the evening, after dinner, Hoffenheim fans entered the stadium and the Rhein-Neckar Arena was full.

When Lu Wenbin led his teammates into the stadium for pre-game warm-up, the audience erupted in warm applause and cheers, and the cheers of "Lu-Lu-Lu" were endless.

Many fans wore the No. 9 jersey of Lu Wenbin when he was in Hoffenheim in the past, expressing their love and welcome for Lu Wenbin.

Not only that, but there were countless banners in the stands with slogans such as "Welcome home, Lou", "Thank you, Lu", "Lu, you are Hoffenheim's eternal hero".

There was even a spray-painted portrait of Lu Wenbin, which occupied half of the stands, which moved Lu Wenbin and bowed to the fans again and again to thank him.

However, when the match officially started at 20:45, the banners and portraits basically disappeared and were put away by the fans.

After all, Lu Wenbin is now their opponent.

It's just that the usual boos on the football field are gone, and the fans on both sides don't boo each other's players, which seems very friendly.

However, friendship is friendship, and competition is competition.

On the field, although Lu Wenbin has a lot of feelings for Hoffenheim and is also very touched by the welcome of the fans, he will not show mercy.

He is a professional footballer and he has to be worthy of the Inter fans and the salary given to him by the club.

In the 7th minute, Lu Wenbin used a Marseille maneuver in the front field to beat his old teammate Volsa and almost scored a goal.

Fortunately, Daniel Haas knew Lu Wenbin's power, and his energy was very concentrated, and he poked the ball out of the bottom line with his fingertips.

Even without scoring, the goal scared Hoffenheim's players and fans alike.

Volsa patted Lu Wenbin's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Lu, you are really getting better and better, even better than when you were in Hoffenheim!" ”

Lu Wenbin smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, but I won't be soft!" ”

Voltha rolled her eyes and said, "I won't show mercy either!" (Ask for a monthly pass, fall out of the top five categories)
