Chapter 157: The Final Championship Battle
After the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, several families are happy and some are sad.
Freiburg did their best to beat Borussia Mönchengladbach and level Mainz on 55 points, but they did not keep their promotion hopes alive.
Because the third-placed Cologne team also won this round, reaching 60 points.
With only one round of games left, Mainz and Freiburg, who have only 55 points, will not be able to catch up with Cologne in any case.
Cologne also secured a third promotion spot in the first division after Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hoffenheim one round earlier.
The bottom-ranked Jena, Paderborn, and Aue teams originally had hopes of relegation, but all three teams were forced to draw by their opponents in this round and lost their last hope of relegation.
As a result, Jena, Paderborn, and Aue locked the relegation places in advance, and downstream teams such as Kaiserslautern, Osnabrück, and Augsburg went ashore one after another and succeeded in relegation ahead of schedule.
In the 34th round, the final round, the Bundesliga will only be left with the title battle between Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
After the match against Offenbacha, Lu Wenbin did not score and the team did not win, so he only gained 500 experience points for 1 assist, and the experience rose to 38,212/100,000 at level 11.
Next, it's time to prepare for the final round of the league.
Lu Wenbin's double and hidden skill rewards were decided by the last game, and Lu Wenbin must lead the team to win, and no longer allow the situation of two shots on goal and no goal like in the previous game.
On May 17, the day before the final round of the Bundesliga, the final round of the Bundesliga was contested.
In the end, Bayern Munich won the 2007/2008 Bundesliga title with 76 points, worthy of the prestige of the Bundesliga hegemon.
Werder Bremen finished second to qualify for next season's Champions League group stage, while Schalke 04 finished third to qualify for next season's Champions League play-offs.
Hamburg and Wolfsburg are fourth and fifth with 54 points, while Stuttgart are sixth to qualify for the final Eurototo Cup of 2008.
If Stegart's progress from the Toto Cup, he will qualify for another UEFA Cup for the German league.
In addition to the championship and the top European qualification, the last three places Nuremberg, Rostock and Duisburg have been relegated.
Next season, Hoffenheim, who have been promoted to the Bundesliga, will not meet these three teams.
However, to the delight of Chinese fans, Shao Jiayi's Cottbus ranked fifth from the bottom and successfully relegated.
Next season, Chinese fans will be able to see Lu Wenbin and Shao Jiayi stage a Chinese derby in the Bundesliga.
The smoke of the Bundesliga cleared, and on May 18, it was the turn of the Bundesliga.
On May 18, the two most interesting Bundesliga games were Hoffenheim at home against Fürth and Borussia Mönchengladbach away at Paderborn.
These two games are related to the final suspense of this season's Bundesliga: the ownership of the championship.
From the point of view of probability, Hoffenheim, who plays at home, ranks first, and has Lu Wenbin, a demonic striker, has a higher chance of winning the championship.
As a result, the DFB brought the Bundesliga winner's trophy to the Dietmar Hope Stadium before the start of the game, while Borussia Mönchengladbach's side brought only one replica.
On 18 May 2008 at 13 p.m., all nine matches of the final round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga season kicked off at the same time, with Hoffenheim hosting sixth-placed Fürth.
In this game, Ralph sent all the main forces, including Lu Wenbin, to complete the battle.
Even if Fürth has no desire, Hoffenheim will go all out to celebrate his first Bundesliga title and double with a hearty victory.
You can't just get a draw like you did in the last game and wait for your opponent to make a mistake.
The match, which was also broadcast live to the whole country by German sports television, was one of the few live broadcast opportunities in the Bundesliga this season.
The reason is that the Bundesliga has ended, and this match is about the ownership of the Bundesliga champion.
Cheered on by the full-house Hoffenheim fans who were not seated, Hoffenheim launched a stormy attack on Fürth from the first minute.
In the 4th minute, Lu Wenbin hit the goal directly after receiving a pass from Obasi on the edge of the penalty area.
However, because it was related to the championship competition and just opened, Lu Wenbin was a little too excited, his strength was not well controlled, and the ball finally flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar.
After missing a chance to score, Lu Wenbin finally calmed down.
Next, Lu Wenbin proved to his opponents and all the spectators why he is the current top scorer in the Bundesliga.
In the 15th minute, Hoffenheim's counterattack, Lu Wenbin suddenly started the anti-offside position successfully, received a second pass from Salihovic at the front of the penalty area, and then faced the attacking Fürth goalkeeper and scored a hanging shot.
Hoffenheim led Fürth 1-0, and the fans broke out in an earth-shattering roar, and some were so excited that they even fainted.
Hoffenheim didn't stop.
For the last fight for the championship, not only Lu Wenbin, but the whole Hoffenheim team was red-eyed.
In the face of the wolf-like Hoffenheim, the whole team of Fürth, who had no desire and no desire, retreated from the tricolor and lacked hard work.
In order not to get injured in a game that didn't matter to them, Fürth's players played cautiously, and they almost all chose to give up some contestable opportunities.
As a result, Lu Wenbin almost ushered in the easiest game after entering the first team.
In the 31st minute, Eduardo shot vigorously from outside the penalty area, the Fürth goalkeeper saved, and Lu Wenbin rushed to make a supplementary shot, Hoffenheim led 2-0.
In the 37th minute, Copado took a corner kick and Ibisevic headed it in, giving Hoffenheim a 3-0 lead over Fürth.
In the 44th minute, Eduardo's breakthrough won Lu Wenbin a free-kick opportunity in front of the field in an excellent position.
Lu Wenbin turned on the system, scored a hat-trick in one fell swoop, and helped Hoffenheim lead Fürth 4-0 in the first half.
After a 15-minute break, the whole Hoffenheim team calmed down a bit.
With a score of 4-0, the victory is basically guaranteed, and it is impossible for the desireless Fürth to desperately reverse this game.
However, despite this, Lu Wenbin, who wanted to score more goals and gain more experience, scored another point-grabbing shot in the penalty area in the 52nd minute of the second half to stage a quadruple and help Hoffenheim lead Fürth 5-0.
With such a big lead, you can be sure of a 100% victory, and there will be no more surprises.
Therefore, in the 65th minute, Ralph replaced Lu Wenbin with Demba Ba, leaving him alone to enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans.
After applauding and bowing to the crowd on the sidelines, Lu Wenbin did not sit down on the bench, but stood on the sidelines, waiting for the end of the game and the arrival of the champion.
