After returning to Hoffenheim from Osnabrück, Lu Wenbin's amazing performance of scoring a hat-trick in the second consecutive game became an important weight for Fu Qingqing to negotiate with various brokerage companies and big-name agents.

Within two days, Lu Wenbin signed an exclusive brokerage contract with Jorge Mendes, known as the world's No. 1 agent.

As for Lu Wenbin's guardians, Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui completed the signing process by fax.

The percentage of the commission does not talk about the lowest 5% in the industry, because Lu Wenbin does not have that status yet.

However, it has also dropped from 10% to 7% for ordinary brokerage contracts. Because the potential shown by Lu Wenbin is too amazing, Mendes doesn't want to let go.

Other agents agreed to 5%, but Lu Wenbin chose Mendes after thinking twice.

On the one hand, Mendes has a good reputation, unlike some agents who often instigate players to change clubs to get transfer fees, and they are more happy to cooperate with players.

On the other hand, Mendes is stronger, and his ability to negotiate and operate transfers is well-known in the industry.

In Lu Wenbin's heart, he will definitely become the number one superstar in world football in the future. The world's No. 1 football superstar naturally needs the world's No. 1 agent to be worthy.

Otherwise, an incompetent agent may cause a lot of intangible losses to Lu Wenbin in transfers, club negotiations, and commercial endorsements.

After helping Lu Wenbin sign a contract with Mendes, Fu Qingqing's half-year translation contract with Hoffenheim Club also expired, ending his work as a full-time translator for Lu Wenbin, and it was time to return to China.

Although Fu Qingqing's job was nominally to work as a translator for Lu Wenbin and teach him German, the salary was paid by the Hoffenheim club.

However, in the past six months in Germany, Fu Qingqing is actually equivalent to Lu Wenbin's assistant and nanny.

Not only does he have to be a translator and teacher for Lu Wenbin, but he also has to cook for Lu Wenbin and clean the house when he is not training.

What's more, Fu Qingqing also contributed a lot to the negotiation with Mendes.

Therefore, when Fu Qingqing left, Lu Wenbin personally sent her to Frankfurt Airport and wrapped her in a big red envelope.

In the future, his life in Germany will really be Lu Wenbin's own independence.

After signing the agent contract and sending Fu Qingqing away, the first thing Mendes had to do was to renegotiate the club contract for Lu Wenbin.

The previous contract with a 6-year contract and an annual salary of 100,000 yuan is definitely not in line with Lu Wenbin's worth.

In fact, the general manager of the club, Rothouse, has already approached Lu Wenbin, hoping that Lu Wenbin will re-sign the contract with the club.

However, he was dragged over by Lu Wenbin, and he was ready to wait for the agent to get it and then let a professional agent negotiate with the club.

Lu Wenbin will not be involved in the specific negotiation process, after all, he is personally brought to Europe by the owner Hope, and it is not good to bargain with the club to negotiate a new contract, and it is best for the agent to come forward.

Lu Wenbin just concentrated on training and competition.

Mr. Lu simply told Mendes that the length of the contract would be reduced and that the new contract would be from 2007, and then add a liquidated damages clause.

As for the salary, Lu Wenbin doesn't care very much. Now he wants a chance to play, not a salary. As long as he can guarantee his playing time, it doesn't matter how high or low the salary is.

While Mendes was negotiating with Hoffenheim general manager Rothaus, Hoffenheim ushered in the 23rd round of the Bundesliga.

On March 9, 2008, at 2 p.m., the 23rd round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga 2 season Hoffenheim played at home to Paderborn at the Dietmar Hope Stadium.

Lu Wenbin continued to start, forming a front trident with Ibisevic, who had a game off, and Demba Ba, who regained his starting position.

Just three minutes into the game, Hoffenheim won a well-placed free-kick on the edge of the box through Demba Ba's breakthrough.

In the cheers of more than 6,000 Huocun fans in the stadium, Lu Wenbin turned on the free kick skill of the system and kicked the free kick into the corner of the goal in one fell swoop.

Just three minutes into the factory, Hoffenheim got off to a dream start with a 1-0 lead over Paderborn.

However, then Lu Wenbin was strictly defended by the opponent, and there was a back who firmly followed Lu Wenbin for close defense.

Lu Wenbin also enjoyed the superstar treatment for the first time in the German professional league, and he needed someone to defend him closely.

However, Lu Wenbin is not only good at shooting, he also has good speed, dribbling, vision and passing.

So, in the 27th and 41st minutes of the first half, Lu Wenbin assisted Ibisevic and Salihovic to score successfully, and Hoffenheim led 3-0 in the first half, almost ending the game early.

In the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, Paderborn may have been a little discouraged by the 0-3 deficit scoreline, and the defensive intensity of Lu Wenbin was reduced.

Coupled with the improvement of Lu Wenbin's own off-ball running attributes, his ability to find open runs has improved.

So, in the 65th minute, Lu Wenbin got a chance to shoot in the corner of the penalty area.

Before the opposing defender could block the angle of the shot, Lu Wenbin made a light shot, picked the ball past the goalkeeper, and drilled into the far corner of the goal accurately.

In the 65th minute, Hoffenheim took a 4-0 lead.

Not long after Lu Wenbin's goal, Ralph Rangnick replaced him.

After all, there are no surprises in this game. In the later league and German Cup, Lu Wenbin is still needed to continue to start and contribute his strength.

Therefore, replacing Lu Wenbin in advance on the premise of ensuring the team's victory and allowing him to get more rest time is the overall strategy formulated by the team's coaching staff.

After Lu Wenbin went off the field, Hoffenheim did not score again.

Ibisevic and Demba Ba both had great chances to shoot from close range, but they couldn't hit as many shots as Lu Wenbin did, and neither of them could score.

Through comparison, everyone can more clearly understand the horror of Lu Wenbin's archery, which makes people look forward to Lu Wenbin's future even more.

In the end, with Lu Wenbin's goal and assist, Hoffenheim beat Paderborn 4-0 at home.

In addition to the first free kick, in fact, Lu Wenbin also kicked two free kicks later, but they were all his own penalties, and he couldn't use the system skills in the cooldown, so he didn't score in the end.

Despite this, one goal was scored from 3 free kicks in this game, and Lu Wenbin's free kick goal rate was still very impressive.

In Hoffenheim, Lu Wenbin has scored 3 direct free kicks in just a few games, and some fans have already shouted that Lu Wenbin is the No. 1 free kick expert in the German Second Division.

Lu Wenbin gradually has a tendency to become Hoffenheim's first penalty taker from set-pieces.
