Chapter 270: Setting a New European Record (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After winning the Bundesliga three rounds early and celebrating into the evening, Ralph gave the team a full two days off to give the players a good rest and celebrate with their family and friends.

It wasn't until the morning of the 32nd round of the Bundesliga on May 13 that Ralph headed away with most of his substitutes for a league match against Bielefeld.

Despite a weak opponent and deep in the relegation zone, Hoffenheim, who had not trained for two days and played with most of the substitutes, lost 2-0 to Bielefeld, who were desperate to score points and relegation.

Of course, no one cares.

For Hoffenheim, who have already won the title ahead of schedule, their league has ended early, and all that remains is to prepare for the finals of the UEFA Cup and the German Cup.

In the previous round of the 3-0 home defeat to Cologne, Lu Wenbin won 2 goals of 20,000 + wins of 20,000, a total of 40,000 experience points rewarded, and the experience rose to level 16 787,000/2 million.

Lu Wenbin didn't even enter the roster in this round, so naturally he didn't have any experience at all, and his experience continued to remain at level 16 at 787,000/2 million.

After the game against Bielefeld, the team will start training in earnest in preparation for the League Cup final.

You can't really think that you will win just because the final opponent of the League Cup is a Ukrainian team, and you are unprepared before the game, and the whole team is herding sheep.

Shakhtar Donetsk's players are also looking forward to upsets, counterattacks, and fame, and win the first European championship for the Ukrainian team!

Therefore, after the team restarted training, Ralph first gave everyone a political lesson, using video highlights combined with examples to explain the stories of several European minor league teams defeating the teams of the five major leagues and winning the championship.

In particular, the example of Zenit St. Petersburg's 5-1 two-legged victory over Bayern Munich in the League Cup last season and finally winning the championship was highlighted by Ralph.

Because Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich are both top of the Bundesliga, they look strong and deserve to win against Eastern European teams.

However, the result was a two-legged defeat for Bayern, the most humiliating score in their European history.

This example is the most convincing because of the proximity of time and the referential nature.

Ralph is going to use this example and other games to warn the team not to think that winning the Bundesliga title will mean that they are careless.

In this UEFA Cup final, everyone has to play with 12 points of spirit and attention, and play it as if it were a Champions League final and a World Cup final.

After Ralph's politics lesson, all the players were in good spirits and put this UEFA Cup final at the top of their list, leaving behind the joy of winning the Bundesliga title the other day.

At the same time, the next league game with Bayern Munich was also abandoned by Ralph, just to give the players training and find a feeling for the game.

On May 16, Hoffenheim hosted Bayern Munich in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, which is also the penultimate round of the season.

Ralph fielded a half-main and half-substitute lineup, Eduardo, who returned from the league ban, was able to start, and Lu Wenbin sat on the bench in the first half.

For Hoffenheim, who had already won the championship in advance, the result of this league was not within everyone's concern at all, and Hoffenheim originally used this game as a practical drill and training.

This is undoubtedly a shame for Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon.

Coupled with the fact that they still need to fight for a Champions League spot, Bayern Munich are fighting hard to beat Hoffenheim away from home.

They also managed to score twice in the 34th minute of the first half and the 62nd minute of the second half to give Hoffenheim a 2-0 lead at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.

It looks like Bayern Munich have sealed the win, and Hoffenheim will lose.

However, the Hoffenheim fans at home did not show any frustration, because Hoffenheim, who had already won the title, did not need to win this game at all.

Only in the 75th minute of the second half, when Ralph replaced Lu Wenbin, the home stadium was full of Rhein Necar, the press gallery, and the commentary booth immediately boiled.

Everyone has been waiting for Lu Wenbin to play and score goals!

There are still so many home fans in this league that is inconsequential to Hoffenheim, and everyone is not looking at Bayern Munich's superstar, but to see if Lu Wenbin can play and score.

Now seeing that Ralph replaced Lu Wenbin on the field, everyone's spirit suddenly came.

Lu Wenbin's previous Bundesliga goal was 46, the same as the record of 46 goals set by Sporting Lisbon's Héctor Yasard in the 1973/1974 season after the European Golden Boot was awarded in 1967/1968.

Lu Wenbin's record-breaking goal in the last round of the league drowned out the joy of Hoffenheim's victory, and everyone didn't have time to celebrate Lu Wenbin.

But in this league with Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim, who has already won the championship, can not care about winning or losing, but Lu Wenbin's fans and media reporters care whether Lu Wenbin can score a goal to break Yasard's European Golden Boot record for the highest goal.

Everyone came to report and watch the game with the mentality of witnessing a new record.

And Lu Wenbin did not disappoint everyone.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the assistance of the whole team.

Although they don't care about winning or losing, everyone still wants to help Lu Wenbin score a goal.

In particular, Eduardo, who returned from the league ban, directly assisted Lu Wenbin's goal.

In the 85th minute, Lu Wenbin briefly shook off Demichelis and Lucio who defended him through two consecutive turnaround runs, and at the top of the arc of the big ban area, he faced Eduardo's well-timed cross from the wonderful pass and directly volleyed vigorously.

The third-time defender, Sagnol, was a step slower, and the ball flew past his outstretched toe and flew quickly against the turf towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Len Xin made a save, Lu Wenbin's shot was powerful and awkward, and went straight to the dead corner.

In the end, Rensing didn't save the ball either, and the black-and-white ball slipped into the goal against the turf.

Seeing the ball into the net, Kaster, the exclusive commentator of Hoffenheim, who had already stood up and stretched his neck to look at the goal, suddenly shouted frantically: "Tooooooo......"

"The ball is in, the ball is in! With a long-range shot from outside the forbidden zone, Lue scored his 47th Bundesliga goal, breaking Yasard's record for the highest goal of 46 goals in the European Golden Boot set in 1973/1974! ”

"A new record, a new record for the number of goals scored in the European Golden Boot! Lu became the record holder for the highest goal ever scored by the European Golden Boot! ”

The commentators of other TV stations also shouted one after another, commenting excitedly on Lu Wenbin's significant goal.

The entire Rhine Neckar Arena was also like a boiling oil pot, with countless people holding up Lu Wenbin's portrait applauding, screaming, cheering, and congratulating Lu Wenbin.

The font "New European Golden Boot Record: 47 Goals - Lu Wenbin" was also played on the big screen at the scene to pay tribute to Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin set a new record for the highest goal in the European Golden Boot Award with 47 league goals in a single season!
