Chapter 153: Muscle Strains

At Hope Field, Lu Wenbin, who had just increased his off-ball run from 13/13 to 16/16, was cheered on by the fans.

In the 5th minute, Lu Wenbin ran out of a gap in the penalty area by suddenly changing direction, Eduardo understood how to send a second pass, Lu Wenbin turned and volleyed in the corner of the small penalty area, and the ball rolled down from the Jena goalkeeper's crotch and pierced through the big and small two goals.

In the 17th minute, Ibisevic received the ball outside the box and was brought down by the opposing defender, and everyone in Jena thought the referee was going to blow the whistle.

As a result, Ibisevic, who was lying on the ground, swept the ball to the left side of the penalty area with a sweep, and Lu Wenbin took advantage of the opponent's defender's lack of concentration to run to the point and received a pass from Ibisevic.

Running on the principle of attacking advantage, the referee whistled but did not blow a foul, but signaled for the game to continue.

By the time Jena's defenders reacted, Lu Wenbin had already received the ball and finished shooting.

In the following game time, Lu Wenbin kept running, creating gaps through variables and change of direction.

While Salihovic and Eduardo's vision and passing attributes may not be as top-notch, most of the time they can still see Lu's running intentions and pass the ball in front of him.

Non-stop direct hitting, smashing the ball and hitting the goal, anti-offside, grabbing points in front of the goal, etc., Lu Wenbin completely defeated Jena in most of the time.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was fixed at 7-0, and Jena was bloodied by Hoffenheim and shaved her head.

And Lu Wenbin, in this game, once again staged a good show of five yuan in the sole middle school, and also had an assist, completely becoming a killer in the penalty area.

No matter how much Jena's players concentrated on defending him, they couldn't stop Lu Wenbin from getting a shot in the penalty area and hitting the goal successfully.

On the contrary, it was a free kick, Lu Wenbin played three free kicks in this game, one of which was played by the system skills, and he failed to score a free kick.

The five goals were all open goals and there were only 10 shots on goal, eight of which hit the woodwork, and then five goals were scored, which was simply scary.

When Lu Wenbin was replaced by Demba Ba in the 88th minute, the applause and screams of the audience to Lu Wenbin echoed in the sky over the village of Hoffenheim and lasted for a long time.

After the match with Jena, Lu Wenbin received 1 assist 500 points + 5 goals 5000 points + 2000 points for the team to win, a total of 7500 experience points, and the level experience rose to 37712/100,000.

Even more pleasing is that Borussia Mönchengladbach was held to a draw at home by Munich 1860, with Borussia Mönchengladbach having risen by just one point to 57 points.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, topped the Bundesties' standings with 59 points.

With the form of Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin, this is the Bundesliga championship within reach.

However, it was not enough for the Hoffenheim players and fans to rejoice for a few days.

On May 4, in the 31st round of the league away against Cologne, in the 17th minute of the first half, Lu Wenbin, who had not scored a goal in this game, raised his foot to receive a half-high ball from a side cross from Obasi, when he suddenly had a sharp pain in his big leg without contact, and fell to the ground.

Ralph was immediately shocked and hurriedly sent the team medical team to the field to check.

It was found that Lu Wenbin had raised his foot too high just now and strained his thigh muscles, and he needed to be replaced.

As a last resort, Ralph used up a substitution in the 17th minute of the opening game.

However, Ralph can't care about the things on the field, he cares about Lu Wenbin's injury.

Fortunately, the team doctor team hired by Hope is very high-level and very professional.

After a period of simple treatment, Lu Wenbin's pain was reduced a lot, and the team doctor preliminarily judged that it was only a slight muscle strain, and he could fully recover after a week of rest at most.

This was a great relief to Ralph.

However, after Lu Wenbin was not on the field, Hoffenheim suddenly became a little unable to play.

When there was no Lu Wenbin before the winter break, Hoffenheim's tacit understanding of attack had not yet been fully cultivated.

After the winter break, it is basically Lu Wenbin as the offensive endpoint again, as long as everyone passes the ball in place, Lu Wenbin can score the ball.

But now, if Demba Ba and Obasi can still compare their ability to run without the ball with Lu Wenbin, their shooting attributes are far behind.

And the midfielder's cooperation with them is not as skilled as Lu Wenbin.

As a result, after 90 minutes, Hoffenheim had only scored one goal, and it was defender Nelsson who headed it in from a corner.

Hoffenheim lost 3-1 away to Cologne for their first defeat since the winter break.

Lu Wenbin's streak of goals has finally come to an end.

And, in the other arena at the same time, Borussia Mönchengladbach exploded on the road, beating Offenbacha 7-1, proving that their previous top spot in the Bundesliga was not a fluke.

As a result, after this round, Hoffenheim, who lost 1-3, still did not move on 59 points, and Borussia Mönchengladbach surpassed Hoffenheim with 60 points and became the first in the standings.

Hoffenheim are back in second place and the Bundesliga title seems to be away from them again.

However, after the game, Ralph couldn't care so much, and he was most concerned about Lu Wenbin's injury.

At the post-match press conference, Ralph hurriedly informed Lu Wenbin of his injury and then left immediately, leading the team back to Hoffenheim to take Lu Wenbin to the medical center for a more professional and careful examination.

After the final examination results came out, it was the same as the judgment of the team doctor at the scene, only a slight muscle strain, which could recover in a few days or a week at most.

This made the whole team breathe a sigh of relief, and Lu Wenbin also let go of his worries about the end of his career.

This time, Lu Wenbin is more yearning for the hidden skill reward "injury tendency" of the double championship.

According to the examination and analysis of the medical center, the direct cause of Lu Wenbin's strain was that he raised his leg too high during the competition, and the indirect cause was Lu Wenbin's muscle fatigue.

After the winter break, Lu Wenbin has been a starter since the second game, and has been fighting on both fronts in the league and the German Cup, and has continued to score goals in every game, with an average of more than 2 goals per game, which is the biggest guarantee for the team's continuous victory, and it is also the first goal of the opponent's backline marking and physical confrontation.

For Lu Wenbin, who is only 17 years old and his body is not fully developed, the burden on Lu Wenbin's body is a bit beyond his current capacity.

Even if psychologically, Lu Wenbin is full of confidence and no pressure because of the system, but physically he only has 12/12 physical attributes, which still can't support him to fight so hard.

So, after being tired of his muscles and doing that dangerous catching action, Lu Wenbin was naturally injured.

Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and it will only take a week at most to recover.

However, Lu Wenbin will definitely not be able to play in the next Hoffenheim home game against Koblenz.

Hoffenheim will have to rely on their own strength to secure victory and hold on to Borussia Mönchengladbach's points.
