Chapter 206: Facing Wolf Castle (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After the match with Spartak Moscow, Lu Wenbin received 1 assist 20,000 + 1 goal 40,000 + win 80,000, a total of 140,000 experience rewards, and the experience rose to level 15 247212/1 million.

In the second Group D game of the same evening, Tottenham Hotspur swept away Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 at home to claim their first group stage victory.

After the second round of the group stage, Hoffenheim won all two games and ranked first in Group D with 6 points and 4 goal difference, Tottenham Hotspur ranked second with 3 points and 1 goal difference, Dinamo Zagreb ranked third with 3 points and 3 goal difference, Nimegen with a bye in this round ranked fourth with 0 points - 1 goal difference and 2 goals, and Spartak Moscow ranked fifth with 0 points - 1 goal difference and 1 goal.

After a night's rest in Moscow, the Hoffenheim team flew back to Germany the next day.

The German media praised Hoffenheim's performance in retreating from the snowstorm in Moscow, but the coverage was not very large.

Because in this round of the UEFA Cup group stage, Wolfsburg defeated Heerenveen 5-1 at home, which was the focus of the German media.

However, the Chinese media reported heavily on Lu Wenbin's performance in the snowstorm in Moscow.

In particular, the long-range shot of the heavy artillery with good speed, power and angle was broadcast over and over again by Chinese websites and TV stations, which attracted the attention of many fans.

And rightfully so.

With Shao Jiayi injured and losing his main position in Cartbus, Xie Hui in the German Second Division Wiesbaden, Sun Jihai from Manchester City on a free transfer to Sheffield United in the English Championship, and Dong Fangzhuo from Manchester United back to the Chinese Super League, Lu Wenbin has actually become the only Chinese player among overseas Chinese players who can play in both the top league and European competitions and perform well.

Such a performance cannot be overreported or praised.

With Lu Wenbin's dazzling performance in Europe, some domestic companies have also contacted Lu Wenbin's agent Mendes and wanted to invite Lu Wenbin to give them a domestic endorsement.

However, the reputation of Chinese football has completely bottomed out after the Olympics.

As a member of Chinese football, it is still unknown whether Lu Wenbin's endorsement will work, whether it will have an advertising effect, and whether it will have the opposite effect and cause the brand to be spurned by ordinary consumers.

Therefore, the endorsement fee offered by domestic companies is very low, Mendes suggested refusal, and Lu Wenbin did not object.

Lu Wenbin understands the situation in China.

If it is the endorsement of sports stars in gymnastics, diving, badminton, table tennis, basketball and other sports, there is no problem in China, and the endorsement fee is not low, and consumers also buy it.

Only football, affected by the overall image of Chinese football, is not only Lu Wenbin, but even Shao Jiayi, Sun Jihai, and other well-known international football bigwigs, there are few domestic endorsements, because consumers don't buy it.

Therefore, domestic companies are just asking Lu Wenbin to endorse them with speculation and temptation, and they are not really large enterprises, and the prices are also very low.

Mendez suggested refusal, and Lu Wenbin did not object.

His main focus is still on upgrading the game.

Domestic companies pressed his endorsement fee, and Lu Wenbin didn't bother to waste that time!

It's better to train more to stay in shape, score a few more goals in the game, and get more experience rewards to upgrade.

When he becomes a superstar, naturally someone will wave a lot of money to ask him to endorse!

However, even if Lu Wenbin wanted to play early, the coach would not allow it.

In the match against Spartak Moscow, although no one was injured, the slippery artificial turf field, the icy and snowy playing environment, and the fierce physical confrontation made many main players, including Lu Wenbin and Ibisevic, bruise and purple.

And two people unfortunately caught a cold.

Coupled with the physical needs of the team itself for long-term third-line operations, it is also necessary to rotate.

Therefore, after returning to the club, many of the main players such as Lu Wenbin who played away games in the League Cup were taken on vacation and had a good rest for a few days.

As for the next Bundesliga match with Hertha Berlin, Lu Wenbin didn't even make the squad.

On November 9, in the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim challenged Hertha Berlin, which is currently ranked seventh, away.

After 90 minutes, the score was 1-0 on the big screen, with Hertha Berlin in front.

Hoffenheim, who played with most of their substitutes, suffered their second Bundesliga defeat of the season, but they still remain top of the Bundesliga with 30 points from 12 league games.

Defending champions Bayern Munich have chased down to second place with 24 points on a five-game winning streak.

Sure enough, a big family is a big club, even if it encounters some difficulties at the beginning of the season, it can still be reversed and caught up after adjusting the state later.

If Lu Wenbin wants to lead Hoffenheim to win the Bundesliga championship and stage the Huocun miracle, Bayern Munich is a mountain that can never be bypassed, and he must face it head-on and win.

After a round of league rest, on November 15, in the 13th round of the Bundesliga, Lu Wenbin returned to the starting list and led Hoffenheim to host Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg, a club in the federal state of Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany, nicknamed Wolfsburg, has yet to win any top-flight league or cup titles.

However, the momentum has been a bit fierce lately, and the offensive firepower looks more powerful than Hoffenheim.

After the last round, Hertha Berlin, who won Hoffenheim, moved up to fifth, while Wolfsburg, who also won 3-0 against Cottage Fortbs, moved up to seventh place.

Before the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg even played a 5-1 score in the UEFA Cup, bloodied Heerenveen from the Eredivisie.

Therefore, although the two teams are a bit far apart in the rankings, based on the form and attacking firepower of the last two games, this Bundesliga 13th round match against Hoffenheim is still considered to be the most intense and goal-scoring game of this round.

As a result, in the seven Bundesliga matches played at the same time on November 15, German sports television did not even broadcast the Bayern Munich game, but chose the match between Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg as the broadcast of this round to the whole country.

On November 15th, the weather was not very good, with light rain and a relatively low temperature, less than 10 degrees.

However, this light rain did not affect the game.

Especially for Hoffenheim players such as Lu Wenbin, who has just experienced a sub-zero temperature, icy and snowy away game in the League Cup in Russia, this light rain and temperature are already very warm.

At 15:30 in the afternoon, in the light rain of Mannheim, the Hoffenheim home vs Wolfsburg match started on time.
