On 5 July 2009, the 2009/2010 Hoffenheim training season began.

At the Hoffenheim training base, the club arranged for Simunic and Eshina, as well as the newly introduced Ghanaian centre-forward Tagoi, to meet with the fans, who warmly welcomed the arrival of the three new players.

Of course, everyone is more welcome to Lu Wenbin, Eduardo, Salihovic, who won the treble last season, as well as Ibisevic, who returned from injury.

Simunic, along with Eichner and Taggoy, will need to prove themselves in the game if they want to be genuinely recognized by the Hoffenheim fans.

In addition to meeting with the fans to sign autographs, the players also had to go to the base medical center for a physical examination on the first day of the training camp.

The physical examination proved that Lu Wenbin's body was the best maintained.

After hearing that Lu Wenbin also hired a personal trainer to increase his speed, his teammates expressed their admiration, and Ralph also expressed his gratification.

The first day of training was to meet the fans, get to know the new players, and then have a medical check-up.

On July 6th, Hoffenheim began training for the new season.

As a result, Simunic and Lu Wenbin's first training session surprised everyone.

Simunic's dominance in the no-go zone is really strong, and neither Paldjic nor Ibisevic, who has returned from injury, have struggled to find any shots on goal in the no-go zone.

But Simunic's strength is well known, and it is not too surprising to everyone.

On the contrary, Lu Wenbin was able to confront Simunich, who is 195cm tall and weighs 89kg, in the forbidden zone.

Although because of his height, the chances of success in the header are not large, but in terms of physical confrontation, Lu Wenbin, who is only 180cm tall and weighs only 76kg, is not lagging behind.

In the case of receiving the ball with his back in the forbidden area, Lu Wenbin can occupy a position and wait for his teammates to respond, and Simunic is difficult to grab the ball from Lu Wenbin's feet even pulling or pushing behind him.

Lu Wenbin's physical strength and confrontation surprised everyone, but he was also full of confidence in the prospects of the new season.

……

As time went on, Hoffenheim in training had their first warm-up match.

On 10 July, Hoffenheim played a friendly away game against Grosbałpacz.

Lu Wenbin, who was on the rise again, faced the German Bundesliga team and scored three goals in the first half to complete a hat-trick, and was substituted at halftime.

Ibisevic, who returned from injury, also played well and scored a header.

In the end, Hoffenheim defeated Grosbašpac 6-1 away, and Lu Wenbin scored 3 goals + won just 1,000 points of experience, and the experience rose to 1.358 million/2 million at level 16.

A week later, on July 17, Hoffenheim ushered in a friendly match at home against Fenerbahce of the Turkish Super League.

Although Fenerbahce was much better than Grosbaspach, Lu Wenbin scored a brace in the first half before being substituted at half-time.

In the end, Hoffenheim won 5-2 at home, and Lu Wenbin was rewarded with a total of 4,000 experience points for 2 goals + wins, and the experience rose to 1.362 million/2 million at level 16.

On July 19, the first Deutsche Telekom Cup sponsored by Deutsche Telekom Group replaced the German League Cup, but the game time was only 60 minutes, and the participating teams were also Bayern Munich, Schalke 04, Hamburg, Stuttgart, and had nothing to do with Hoffenheim.

Linked to Hoffenheim is the German Super Cup on July 20.

It was supposed to be the Super Cup between the Bundesliga winners vs the German Cup winners, because Hoffenheim won both competitions last season, so now Hoffenheim will face last season's Bundesliga runner-up Wolfsburg.

Although it is not an official competition organized by the German Football Association, this Super Cup is also a little more advanced than a regular friendly match, with sponsors, trophies, bonuses and so on.

Moreover, the venue of the competition is the Rhein-Neckar Arena, home of Hoffenheim.

So, despite not being an official match, the match came to many Hoffenheim fans and almost filled the stadium stands.

Of course, there is no shortage of journalists.

Hoffenheim fans are here to support the team and Lu Wenbin, and the reporter is here to see if the 19-year-old Lu Wenbin deserves the highest salary in the Bundesliga.

You must know that there are countless predecessors who have been famous for many years in the Bundesliga, such as Ribery, Lahm, Van Bommel, De Jong, etc., who are not as high as Lu Wenbin, a 19-year-old young man.

There is no shortage of dissent from the media and other fans.

At 19:20 on the evening of July 20, the referee blew the whistle, and the 2009 German Super Cup officially began.

Hoffenheim used the main lineup in the second half of last season, the 433 formation.

The starting goalkeeper Ozcan, defenders Jaisler, Beck, Jankel, Nilson, Gustavo at the back, Eduardo and Salihovic at the front, and Paljic, Demba Ba and Lu Wenbin at the forwards.

The newly signed Simunic and the returning Ibisevic are on the bench and they will have time to fight for the main position.

The familiar stadium at home and the enthusiastic home team fans made Hoffenheim enter the game a little earlier than the Wolfsburg players, and Lu Wenbin was even more scrappy.

He didn't want to be an excuse to be beaten up by the media after the game.

In the 7th minute, Eduardo crossed the bottom of the ball, Paljic's header was ferried, Lu Wenbin instantly shook off the marking of defender Santana and defender Madelen, volleyed sideways at the back point of the big forbidden area, and kicked the ball towards the goal before another defender Revor cleared the ball.

Although goalkeeper Benaglio made a save, Lu Wenbin's shot was fast and powerful, and although the angle was not awkward, Benaglio still failed to save.

The powerful ball burrowed into the goal like lightning, and the net was sent high into the air, before it fell down for a while.

In just seven minutes, Lu Wenbin opened the scoring for Hoffenheim and took a 1-0 lead.

Next, the game was completely controlled by Hoffenheim.

Lu Wenbin's off-ball running, physique, shooting attributes, and 15/20 speed are not at all something that Wolfsburg players can defend, even if they use two or three defenders.

In the 25th minute, Lu Wenbin got another gap outside the forbidden area, received a pass from Salihovic and shot from a distance.

The power brought by the 20/20 physique makes Lu Wenbin's long-range shots powerful, fast, and powerful.

And the 20/20 shooting attribute, although outside the forbidden area, can also allow Lu Wenbin to basically hit within the range of the goal frame.

In the end, Benaglio made a save and even touched the ball with his fingertips, but he still couldn't get the ball out of the frame.

The ball ended up on the inside of the post and bounced into the net.

In just the 25th minute, Lu Wenbin scored a brace to help Hoffenheim lead Wolfsburg 2-0, and the fans in the stands burst into applause and cheers and screams for Lu Wenbin's outstanding performance.
