After the 23rd round of league matches with Paderborn, Lu Wenbin received 2 assists, 1000+, 2 goals, 2000+ team wins, a total of 5000 experience points, and the level of experience rose to 10712/50000.

Unfortunately, Mainz and Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are ahead of Hoffenheim, have also won, so Hoffenheim will have to remain third in the table behind Mainz on goal difference.

However, although the team's ranking did not rise, Lu Wenbin's personal performance of scoring goals and assists still conquered all the Huocun fans and the club's senior management at the scene.

Fans called on the club on the website to hurry up and give Lu Wenbin a new contract to avoid being poached, and owner Hope also gave general manager Rothouse a dead order that Lu Wenbin's new contract must be completed as soon as possible.

So, two days after the match with Paderborn, Lu Wenbin's agent Mendes finally helped him get a new contract with Hoffenheim.

The new contract is signed for five years, with an annual salary of 600,000 euros and liquidated damages of 20 million euros.

This salary is the top three annual salaries in the Hoffenheim team.

In the German professional league, which is concerned about financial health, the salaries are already higher than most ordinary Bundesliga players. (The time in the book is 2008, Shao Jiayi's 500,000 euros in the Bundesliga Botbus is already the top few salaries in the team, book friends should not compare the football salary in 2018, nor the salary of the Premier League and La Liga giants.) ）

Not only the salary, but also the appearance fee, goal award, assist award, promotion award, championship award, etc. have also been greatly improved, and Lu Wenbin also received an additional signing fee reward when he signed the contract.

On March 14, two days before the 24th round of the league, Hoffenheim held a press conference to announce the signing of a new contract with Lu Wenbin.

After the new contract with the club is finalized, Lu Wenbin can train and play with peace of mind, and do his best for Hoffenheim's promotion to win the championship, and the fans can also let go of their worries.

At least, I am not afraid that someone will dig Lu Wenbin in a short time.

Two days later, at 14 noon on March 16, in the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim faced the third-to-last Aue at home.

Because it was the semi-finals of the German Cup two days later, Ralph was on the bench for most of the games in this game, and even the goalkeeper was rotated, and only Lu Wenbin continued to stay on the field to maintain the deterrent effect on Aue.

Sure enough, Lu Wenbin, who had just completed the signing, put huge pressure on Aue on the field, so that Aue did not dare to attack even in the face of Hoffenheim's substitute lineup.

Moreover, even if Lu Wenbin was strictly guarded, he still failed to defend the goal in the end.

No matter how low Lu Wenbin's off-ball running is, no matter how tightly the opponent defends, it is impossible to really let Lu Wenbin get a chance to shoot in a game.

As long as there is a chance to shoot, Lu Wenbin's shooting skills are a super killer.

In this game, because the ability of substitute teammates to find gaps to pass and assist was insufficient compared with the main lineup, and Lu Wenbin's ability to run gaps was not high, so Lu Wenbin only got two good shots in the box and one free kick outside the box in the first half.

That free-kick failed to score using system skills, but two shots from inside the box were scored by Lu Wenbin.

As a result, Hoffenheim was able to go into the break with a score of 1-0 at the end of the first half.

At halftime, Ralph Rangnick thought about it for a long time and replaced Lu Wenbin early.

Not to mention that this league is already 1-0 ahead, even if it loses in the end, Hoffenheim still has time to come back. But the next game in the German Cup is really not to be lost.

Reaching the final gives a good chance of qualifying for next season's UEFA Cup, and the semi-finals of the German Cup are obviously more important than a Bundesliga fixture that is not going to happen for the time being.

Therefore, after the 15-minute halftime break, Lu Wenbin sat on the bench.

After seeing that Lu Wenbin was not on the field, the Auer team launched a counterattack.

However, Hoffenheim's bench is no worse than O'E, who is third from bottom in the table. Coupled with the shrinking defence, Aue didn't get any decent shots in the second half.

As the home fans watched in horror, the 90 minutes came to an end when Hoffenheim held on to a 1-0 score to win the Bundesliga.

As a result, Lu Wenbin received another goal 1000 + win 2000, a total of 3000 experience points, and the level experience rose to 13712/50000.

What's even more surprising is that after the other two games that started at the same time as Hoffenheim, Fürth actually lost to Koblenz at home, and Mainz was also held to a draw by Munich 1860 away.

As a result, in the standings, Hoffenheim occupied the second place with 43 points, leaving behind Fürth and Mainz, who were also tied with Hoffenheim in the previous round.

In front of Hoffenheim, there is only Borussia Mönchengladbach, who have four points more than them.

With 10 games to go until the end of the season, Hoffenheim still have a chance to wait for Borussia Mönchengladbach to make a mistake before coming back to win the Bundesliga.

Provided, of course, that Hoffenheim themselves don't lose.

However, judging from Hoffenheim's nine consecutive league cup wins after the winter break and Lu Wenbin's goal after another game, it is not impossible for Hoffenheim to surpass Borussia Mönchengladbach.

……

After playing the league against Aue, Hoffenheim entered the time to prepare for the semi-finals of the German Cup.

Speaking of which, Hoffenheim's opponent in the German Cup semi-finals Jena has a bit of a strange focus this season.

They don't focus on relegation in the league, but they put all their energy into the cup competition. The German Cup made it all the way to the semi-finals, but in the Bundesliga, they have fallen into the relegation zone early and are currently second from bottom.

Do they want to qualify for next season's UEFA Cup with the German Cup?

If they do beat Hoffenheim in the semi-finals of the German Cup to reach the final, and Bayern Munich beat Wolfsburg in the other semi-final, then Jena will be able to qualify for next season's UEFA Cup because Bayern have already qualified for Europe through the Bundesliga.

In the Bundesliga, Jena's hope of relegation is really very slim. They are a big difference in points from the bottom three and will almost certainly be relegated to the Bundesliga next season.

If Jena's progress to the final of the German Cup and relegation both happen, it may be a good story to see the Bundesliga team representing German football in the UEFA Cup next season.

However, Hoffenheim naturally did not allow this to happen.

In order to prepare for this semi-final, Ralph was almost all substitutes in the last round of the league, and even Lu Wenbin was substituted after playing the first half, just to ensure that he beat Jena in the semi-finals.

As for Lu Wenbin himself, Hoffenheim was not allowed to be defeated by Jena.

Not only does he have to beat Jena to reach the final, but even if he meets Bayern Munich in the final, he will have to do his best to beat Bayern in order to complete the system task of the double and open the hidden skill "injury tendency".

PS: It was wrong to write another semi-final Bayern vs. Stuttgart, it was a mistake, Stuttgart had already been eliminated by Jena, and the other semi-final of that season was actually Bayern Munich vs. Wolfsburg, which has been revised.
