Chapter 336: The Last Battle
Amid heated discussions among the media and fans, Hoffenheim ushered in the 16th round of the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt three days later.
Because the main squad of the last round of the Champions League group stage was all rested, Hoffenheim played the main force in this league, and the result was a 4-1 at home against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Among them, Ibisevic scored a hat-trick alone and made a big show.
Lu Wenbin may have played in the Champions League without the help of his main teammates, and he overdrew some energy, and he was in poor form in this game, scoring only one goal.
But Lu Wenbin's poor form is only for himself, and to the outside world, Lu Wenbin's annual total goal record has risen to 91 goals, and Lu Wenbin's consecutive Bundesliga scoring streak has also extended to 12 games.
Four games away from Gerd Muller's 16-game scoring streak in the Bundesliga.
Even after the game, media outlets focused on Lu Wenbin's 91st goal of the year, rather than Ibisevic's hat-trick.
This made Ibisevic a little depressed.
Of course, with Lu Wenbin's prestige in the team, it will not make Ibisevic have other ideas, and it will be fine in two days.
After this round of the Bundesliga, Ralph gave everyone two days off because the next game will not start until a week away.
That league game was also the last league game before the Bundesliga's winter break.
During the holidays, Lu Wenbin accepted an exclusive interview with two foreign media outlets, filmed an advertisement, and helped Kate organize a book signing event.
Kate's debut novel has won the love of many young readers with Lu Wenbin's influence and simple and straightforward way of upgrading the essay.
Although some writers criticize it for having no connotation and no literary nature, Kate doesn't care.
Her current level is not up to the level of writing any classic masterpieces, as long as what she writes can be printed and published, and it can be sold well, she will be satisfied.
On December 14, the team resumed training.
It has been more than a month since Lu Wenbin last added points to the speed attribute.
Therefore, before the training began, Lu Wenbin used a skill point to increase his speed attribute to 19/20, and there was 1 skill point left for the next time.
The speed of 19/20 is already the speed of Irving, Robben, and Bale at the peak of their peak.
Therefore, when Lu Wenbin ran wantonly on the training ground at a speed of 19/20 after the training began, his teammates couldn't keep up with Lu Wenbin's speed at all, and could only eat dust behind Lu Wenbin's fart.
Lu Wenbin simply played the ball and did not need any dribbling skills, and he was able to score a goal by passing two or three people from the midfield to the forbidden area.
The double marking is no longer useful to Lu Wenbin, and only the defense of one after the other, taking advantage of Lu Wenbin's oversized ball, to steal, has some effect.
When Gustavo was passed by Lu Wenbin and couldn't even pull it, and then watched behind Lu Wenbin get up and shoot and kick the ball into the goal, Gustavo asked breathlessly:
"Lu, why did you suddenly become so fast? You're getting too fast, aren't you? I remember you were slow last year. ”
The nearby defenders also looked at Lu Wenbin with blank eyes, expecting him to reveal some cheats.
Lu Wenbin opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Didn't you say that my body is still developing? What's more, I also hired a sprint coach to help me train my speed, so it is only natural that I can improve so quickly. Of course, the most important thing is that it's talent, you know?
Gustavo still said incredulously: "Even if it's a talent, in one year, it's unbelievable that it has been promoted to this point!" ”
Lu Wenbin shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't believe it, you can't help it, this is the truth!" ”
Lu Wenbin's answer made his teammates quite helpless.
Of course, hearing Lu Wenbin say this, some people also want to ask a sprint coach to train themselves, but if they have any gains, Lu Wenbin will not give them a ticket.
Amid the amazement of his coaches and teammates at Lu Wenbin's increased speed, on December 18, 2009, UEFA held a draw ceremony for the round of 16 of the 2009/2010 Champions League.
According to the principle that teams in the same group do not meet, teams from the same country do not meet in the group stage, and the first team in the group plays the second in the group, in the end, Hoffenheim, the first in Group G, drew Olympiacos, the second in Group H, which can be said to be a sign.
Hoffenheim, who participated in the Champions League for the first time, drew weak teams from the group stage to the 1/8 finals, and this kind of luck is really enviable.
Like Milan's side, Inter Milan drew Chelsea, AC Milan drew Manchester United, and no one was sure of qualifying.
Especially with Inter Milan and Chelsea, it's hard not to think of UEFA's "conspiracy".
Because Inter coach Jose Mourinho, before he took charge of Inter, he was in charge of Chelsea. Drawing Inter Milan and Chelsea together is definitely topical.
However, the lottery was like that, and the media fell silent after a day or two.
After all, the Champions League 1/8 finals will not be played until after the winter break and next year, and it is too early to talk about who will advance to the quarterfinals.
At 18:30 on the evening of December 19, in the 17th round of the 2009/2010 Bundesliga season, Hoffenheim's last match before the winter break, Hoffenheim challenged Stuttgart away.
There is no blockbuster matchup in the Bundesliga in this round of the league, so everyone has their eyes on the Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim match.
Although Stuttgart currently sit fourth from bottom in the Bundesliga table, the match against Hoffenheim is hardly a strong match.
But as long as Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin participated, this game was attractive enough.
Because, this match will determine whether Lu Wenbin will improve his annual record of 91 goals again, or by how much.
This is the final game to determine the final number of Lu Wenbin's 2009 annual total goals, and everyone wants to watch the live broadcast for the first time.
Therefore, not only did German sports television choose to broadcast the Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim match live, but dozens of countries in Europe and around the world broadcast the game live, and the number of fans following this game is estimated to be hundreds of millions.
As soon as the game began, Hoffenheim turned against the visitors and began to press Stuttgart's wild attack.
Stuttgart, Germany's traditional powerhouse, was ranked fourth in the Bundesliga last season, but after participating in the UEFA Cup this season, it quickly fell into the bottom four of the Bundesliga, which can be described as a typical failure of the two-front battle.
In this round of the game, he met the defending champion Hoffenheim, as well as Lu Wenbin, who had just made a speed increase and wanted to increase the total number of goals in the year again, so he was naturally unlucky.
In the third minute of the game, Lu Wenbin picked up the ball near the center circle, but Stuttgart did not pay attention to it, and only one player defended Lu Wenbin.
Because, as long as the goalkeeper is not careless at this distance, it is impossible for Lu Wenbin to shoot into it from a distance.
As for breaking through with the ball, Lu Wenbin has never scored such a long-distance run goal in an official game!
People in Stuttgart subconsciously thought that Lu Wenbin could only pass the ball out!
Therefore, Stuttgart only has one defender Truss to defend Lu Wenbin, and Truss is still looking at the surrounding Hoffenheim players with his eyes while running, preparing to make an advance prediction and steal when Lu Wenbin passes.
