At 13 o'clock on May 11, 2008, in the 33rd round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga, the penultimate round of the whole season, Hoffenheim was beaten by Borussia Mönchengladbach 7-1 before playing away.

In this game, Lu Wenbin, who had just returned to training, did not get the chance to start, so he could only sit on the bench and watch the performance of his teammates.

Offenbacha has been relegated in advance in the last round, and now there is no hope of promotion, relegation is worry-free, and there are not many home fans in the stands, so it is reasonable to say that it is very good to play.

However, perhaps because Hoffenheim does not have the urgent need for Lu Wenbin to win the championship like Lu Wenbin, the Hoffenheim players who have been promoted in advance are a little slack.

Throughout the first half, Hoffenheim did not score a single goal, and even created few shots on goal, which were wasted by substitute strikers Paljic, Demba Ba and Weiss.

Of course, the desireless Offenbacha also did not score, and the two sides went into the second half with a 0-0 scoreline.

In the second half, Lu Wenbin's biggest concern happened: Offenbacha scored a lucky deflected ball in the 68th minute.

Offenbacha's shot deflected off Hoffenheim defender Kampel and goalkeeper Haas watched helplessly as the ball flew into the back of the net from the opposite direction of his save.

Hoffenheim were 1-0 down away to Offenbacha.

Lu Wenbin stood up from the bench at once, holding his head in his hands, looking anxious and eager to come on the bench immediately.

Ralph looked at Lu Wenbin and made a decision in his heart.

Actually, he also wants to win.

Anyway, the Bundesliga championship is also a champion, so why give up early if you have the opportunity to fight for the championship?

What's more, this also involves the bonus promised by the boss, and there are only two games left, so you have to fight anyway.

Since the team doctor said that Lu Wenbin's injury has healed, it should be okay to only play as a substitute for ten minutes in this game, and the rest is to depend on luck.

So, Ralph said to Lu Wenbin: "Lu, go warm up!" ”

Lu Wenbin was overjoyed, nodded fiercely, took off his coat and warmed up on the sidelines.

The situation on the pitch remained unchanged and Hoffenheim were still 1-0 down to Offenbacha.

In the 75th minute, Ralph called back Lu Wenbin and asked the fourth official to play the substitution card, No. 90 Lu Wenbin replaced No. 17 Weiss.

Weiss walked off the field unwillingly, routinely gave Lu Wenbin a light high-five, and then returned to the bench and sat down: Weiss is one of the few teammates in the team who does not have a good relationship with Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin didn't care about him.

As soon as Weiss got off the field, Lu Wenbin hurriedly rushed up, shouting to his teammates while running: "Everyone cheer up, run, and strive to win the game!" ”

Lu Wenbin's aura as a leader is indeed too important, as soon as he came on the court, he simply yelled, and the spirit of his teammates changed, and Ralph and the assistant coach on the sidelines were amazed.

Of course, Lu Wenbin's shouting made the opponent Offenbacha's players quite annoyed.

Everyone thought in their hearts: "It's been 75 minutes, and as soon as you come up, you shout that you want to win, this is to reverse us in the last ten minutes, and do you still take us in your eyes?" ”

Therefore, Offenbacha's players also came to the spirit and vowed to stop Lu Wenbin, who had no one in sight, from scoring.

Not to mention, Offenbacha has really accomplished this goal.

Although Lu Wenbin's off-ball running and shooting attributes have far exceeded the level of the second division, he has just been injured and has only carried out low-intensity recovery training before, so his performance on the field in this game is relatively poor.

Not long after he came on the field, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Copado in the penalty area.

However, his turn shot was deflected wide of the post by a nearby Offenbacha defender.

A few minutes later, his second shot flew into the corner of the goal, but it was limp and confiscated by the goalkeeper who arrived in time.

With the whole team concentrating on feeding Lu Wenbin with shells, he got two chances to hit the goal within 10 minutes of playing, but did not score a single goal.

This is relatively rare for Lu Wenbin, and he is also a little anxious.

At this time, Salikhovich ran to Lu Wenbin's side and whispered to him: "Lu, don't worry! Next time, if you still have a chance, why don't you pass it to Demba Ba, how about it? ”

Lu Wenbin frowned, he had a bad relationship with Demba Ba, Demba Ba was squeezed out of the main lineup by Lu Wenbin, and he has always had no good face for Lu Wenbin.

However, for the sake of victory, for the championship, Lu Wenbin decided to let go of the estrangement with Demba Ba. I don't have a good sense of the ball today, so I might as well make a ball for Demba Ba.

If Demba Ba can score an equalizer or even win a reversal, Lu Wenbin doesn't mind cooperating with him.

So, Lu Wenbin nodded slightly and agreed to the captain's suggestion.

As the minutes ticked by, the Offenbacha players were getting more and more happy.

Since Lu Wenbin landed in the German Second Division, he has performed bravely, and now he has become the first star of the German Second Division. They were able to keep an eye on Lu Wenbin and make him unable to score for more than ten minutes, which can be regarded as a great sense of achievement.

However, Lu Wenbin did not give up. As long as the final whistle doesn't blow, he won't allow himself to slack off.

Finally, in the 89th minute, Lu Wenbin pulled a gap in the penalty area through continuous running, and Salihovic passed the ball in time.

Lu Wenbin took advantage of the situation to raise his leg to shoot, causing the three highly nervous Offenbacha defenders to rush over together and block the path of Lu Wenbin's shot.

However, Lu Wenbin's shot was just a feint.

After attracting the opponent's three defenders and successfully attracting the goalkeeper to his side, Lu Wenbin shook his ankle and passed the ball to the feet of Demba Ba on the other side of the penalty area.

Demba Ba didn't expect Lu Wenbin to pass the ball over, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

However, his foot still reflexively came to push the boccia ball passed by Lu Wenbin into the net.

In the 89th minute, Hoffenheim finally equalized through Demba Ba's goal, but the assist was Lu Wenbin, who did not have a good relationship with Demba Ba.

After the goal, Lu Wenbin and Demba Ba glanced at each other, and then looked away expressionlessly.

Lu Wenbin just clapped his hands and applauded, then turned around and walked towards his own half, and high-fived Salihovic who ran over on the way to celebrate.

Demba Ba also celebrated with Paljic, Kopado and others on the other side, without even looking at Lu Wenbin.

It's as if the ball wasn't scored by two people together.
