Chapter 223: Returning Home (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The score of 0-2 behind made Schalke 04 unable to even take care of Lu Wenbin.

After the game restarted, Ernst gave up marking Lu Wenbin and joined the attack in the frontcourt.

However, there was too little time left for them to play.

Lu Wenbin's goal was already in the 81st minute, and Hoffenheim celebrated a little longer, even with stoppage time, it was only 10 minutes before the end of the game.

Moreover, in the following time, Ralph began to make substitutions to delay time and interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, using up all three substitutions.

Three minutes into stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game as Hoffenheim beat Schalke 04 2-0 in the final round of the Bundesliga before the winter break.

Moreover, Hoffenheim's two goals came from Lu Wenbin, making Schalke 04 coach say before the game that he could freeze Lu Wenbin's remarks became a joke.

Although Lu Wenbin did not score in the penalty zone, under the close marks of Entes and Kelstajic, Schalke 04's freeze on Lu Wenbin in the penalty zone was still successful.

Lu Wenbin's midfield lob shot was of a lucky nature, and finally took advantage of Schalke 04's negligence to hit the empty goal, and the luck component was even heavier.

However, on the football field, the winner is king. Lu Wenbin scored two goals, and it was useless for others to say anything, and it seemed unreasonable to pull it again.

In this game, Lu Wenbin also won 20,000 goals + 20,000 team wins, with a total of 40,000 experience points rewarded, and the experience rose to level 15 432212/1 million.

Hoffenheim's match against Schalke 04 is the last match of the 17th round of the Bundesliga, and after this game, all the matches before the winter break of the Bundesliga are over.

Therefore, after this game, the Bundesliga half-way points have been finalized.

Hoffenheim has 17 league games, 14 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 43 points and ranks first in the standings, Bayern Munich was forced to draw by Stuttgart in the last round, with only 33 points, which is already 10 points behind Hoffenheim.

With such a performance and such a big point difference, it seems that Hoffenheim, the first Bundesliga title of the promoted team, is really nine out of ten!

Not only the German media, but also countless media in Europe and the world have reported on Hoffenheim, countless neutral fans have become Hoffenheim fans, and the name of the Huocun miracle has begun to be known all over the world.

And Lu Wenbin, who led Hoffenheim to beat Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga half championship as a promoted horse, also shocked the world football world with 15 league goals in 15 league appearances in 17 rounds, almost reaching an average of two goals per game.

Edin Dzeko, the second scorer who also plays in the Bundesliga, scored less than half of Lu Wenbin's goals, and the other scorers such as Gomez, Pizarro, Luca Toney, Ribery, Podolski, etc., are even worse than Lu Wenbin.

Not only the Bundesliga scorer list, but also in the competition for the European Golden Boot list, Lu Wenbin is also far ahead, leaving behind many superstars such as Diego Forlan and Eto'o in La Liga, Anelka and Ronaldo in the Premier League, Ibrahimovic and Kaka in Serie A, and Benzema in Ligue 1.

With 29 goals in the first half of the season, it will be enough to win the European Golden Boot in some seasons.

For example, the 2004/2005 European Golden Boot was shared by Thierry Henry of the Premier League and Diego Forlan of La Liga Villarreal, both of whom scored just 25 league goals.

If Lu Wenbin's 29 goals are put into the 2004/2005 season, it means that Lu Wenbin only plays half a season to win the European Golden Boot.

Of course, this is relatively rare. Generally speaking, to win the European Golden Boot, you still need to score at least 30 league goals to have a chance.

However, Lu Wenbin, who has scored 29 goals in half a season, no one believes that he will not score a goal in the second half of the season, unless he is seriously injured during the winter break to reimburse the entire second half of the season.

Therefore, in the competition between the top scorers of the five major leagues for the European Golden Boot list, Lu Wenbin is already far ahead, and he is almost destined for the European Golden Boot in the 2008/2009 season!

As for the shooters in the other minor leagues, not to mention.

Because the European Golden Boot table is ranked according to the points system.

The five major leagues are more difficult to score because of their higher technical and tactical level, their European Golden Boot points are scored by 2, the secondary league is the number of goals multiplied by 1.5, and the lower minor leagues are points equal to the number of goals.

Therefore, in the competition for the European Golden Boot, the five major leagues have a natural advantage.

In recent years, the European Golden Boot has become the bag of the top five league scorers, and the secondary league and the lower league are difficult to touch.

……

Although with the title of the Bundesliga half-way champion and the first place in the scorer list, Lu Wenbin has already made a name for himself in world football.

However, after all, he has not yet won the Bundesliga championship, the League Cup, the league Golden Boot, the European Golden Boot and other important titles and personal honors, and there is still uncertainty.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin's personal commercial value has not yet reached the point of exploding, and the price offered by the brand that came to negotiate advertising endorsement still failed to reach the psychological price of Lu Wenbin and Mendes.

Mendes and Lu Wenbin both prefer to wait at least until their first Bundesliga season is over and they have won a few prestigious titles and individual accolades before talking about big contracts.

Therefore, during the winter break, Mendes helped Lu Wenbin sign three ordinary one-year print endorsement advertisements, and the filming was completed two days after the match with Schalke 04.

As for China, he is still affected by the overall image of Chinese football, and Lu Wenbin, as a football player, still has no big brands and big companies in China that can afford to look for him.

At the same time, the day after the match against Schalke 04, Hoffenheim FC also held a Christmas dinner in advance, and Lu Wenbin took Kate to the party.

After the Christmas party, the team has a holiday, and the players go home to celebrate Christmas and New Year with their families.

At this point, teams such as the Bundesliga and La Liga are still much happier than the Premier League without a winter break. As for the Chinese players not being able to celebrate the Lunar New Year, there is no way to do it.

On December 17, after filming the print advertisement for advertising endorsement, Lu Wenbin returned to China.

Because Kate was in the period of creative inspiration during this period, she did not go to China with Lu Wenbin for a long trip, and agreed to find another time to go home with Lu Wenbin to visit his parents.

After getting off the plane in Beijing, Lu Wenbin first went to the CCTV Sports Channel to receive a special interview on World Football, and then returned to his hometown Zunyi and Meitan.

Naturally, Lu Wenbin, who has become a big star, is even more sought after by countless fans in his hometown.

Dozens of media outlets from all over the country and Guizhou have been following Lu Wenbin to film his trip in China.

Even Lu Wenbin's parents, neighbors, relatives, teachers, classmates, and officials in the county and town were all interviewed by reporters on TV and newspapers.
