After the match against Udinese, Lu Wenbin received a single-match reward for this League Cup match.

According to the system setting, the experience reward for a single game in the League Cup is 20,000 experience points for assists, 40,000 points for goals, and 80,000 points for wins.

This experience reward is four times that of the Bundesliga, which is quite generous.

Of course, judging from the feelings of the first game, Lu Wenbin feels that the experience of the League Cup does have to be so much, and it is not like that.

Lu Wenbin had neither an assist nor a win in this game, and only one goal gained 40,000 points of experience.

But it was these 40,000 points of experience that made Lu Wenbin breathe a long sigh of relief, and also gave him a lot of confidence in leading the team to defeat Udinese in the second leg and succeed in the comeback.

These 40,000 points of experience have raised Lu Wenbin's level experience to level 13 188212/200,000, and he is only 12,000 experience away from being upgraded.

In the next Bundesliga game with Dortmund, even if Lu Wenbin doesn't score or assist, as long as he can help the team win, he can gain 20,000 points of winning experience to upgrade, and then he can use the skill points rewarded by the upgrade to increase his strength.

However, Hoffenheim don't have to think about the match against Borussia Dortmund yet, and they will have to deal with the bombardment and questioning of the German media first.

In the mixed channel, Lu Wenbin was first surrounded by reporters.

Because now Lu Wenbin is not only the top scorer in Hoffenheim's team, but also the top scorer in the Bundesliga, so he naturally has to take on more responsibility and pressure.

Although he scored a goal in the second half, the first half was a smudge that could be seen as one of the main reasons for Hoffenheim's home defeat and imminent elimination by Udinese.

Lu Wenbin's physical fitness, ability to tackle tough problems, etc., have all been questioned. Even, Lu Wenbin's skin color and ethnicity have been questioned.

Lu Wenbin's previous consecutive goals were also questioned by some reporters as the reason why Hoffenheim gathered the strength of the whole team to feed Lu Wenbin.

These doubts naturally made Lu Wenbin very angry.

Lu Wenbin directly said that Hoffenheim will not be eliminated, and he will definitely lead Hoffenheim to defeat Udinese in the second leg and advance to the group stage of this season's League Cup.

Then, Lu Wenbin brushed his sleeves away and broke up with the reporters.

Subsequently, at the post-match press conference, head coach Ralph and captain Salihovic were also besieged by the German media, asking why Hoffenheim, the first team in the Bundesliga, lost at home?

Is it a tactical problem with the manager, or is it a problem with the pride and mentality of the players?

Ralph took all the blame on himself, admitting that his lack of preparation led to his side being restrained by Udinese's tactics and then losing at home.

However, Ralph also said that a 2-1 defeat at home is not the end of the world.

Hoffenheim will definitely prepare seriously and succeed in the second leg when the time comes.

Salihovic also said that Hoffenheim will never concede defeat in advance, and they will definitely fight Udinese in the second leg to the end, and finally create a miracle to eliminate their opponents and qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Cup.

Just because 95% of teams can't do it doesn't mean Hoffenheim can't do it either!

Hoffenheim is the team that can turn the tables on the road and pull off the road in the event of a home defeat.

That night and the next morning, the German media, who were optimistic about Hoffenheim before the game, shifted their tone and began to bombard Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim Jinyuan football, which was already unpleasant, successfully aroused the collective condemnation of the national media and fans.

Hoffenheim suffered its first defeat of the season, and the outlook for the UEFA Cup is bleak! 》

"The first home defeat in the Bundesliga to the seventh in Serie A, Hoffenheim's golden dollar football does not work in the European arena! 》

"Lu Wenbin was trapped to death by chain defense, the magic is not there! 》

Hoffenheim didn't see it when they won in a row, and now they have only lost 1-2, as if the team is going to fall apart and collapse.

This is the public opinion environment of Hoffenheim in German football today.

When they win in a row, they can't see that once they show their decline, they will be the target of ridicule and fall by the national media and fans.

Who made their bosses big-rich?

Who keeps them from being bad for money?

Who allowed them to poach Stuttgart's youth with a high salaryAndrés Beck?

The envy and jealousy mixed with these criticisms can be seen by Hoffenheim both players and fans.

As a result, the Hoffenheim fans are more united and supportive of the team, with hundreds of die-hard fans outside the training base waving banners to cheer the team on every day.

……

Ignoring the criticism from the outside world, after the match against Udinese, the team did not take a holiday the next day, but continued to train.

Before training began, Ralph held an internal tactical meeting.

In light of the problems exposed in this UEFA Cup game, Ralph and the coaching staff discussed it all night before deciding to fine-tune Lu's position.

Previously, Lu Wenbin basically played as a shadow striker in 442 and a winger in 433.

But this match with Udinese made Ralph and the coaching staff realize that it is dangerous to fix Lu Wenbin in the forward line, and there is a possibility of being trapped by the opponent.

Although in a short period of time, most teams in the Bundesliga will not be able to match the defensive level that Udinese have shown in this game.

But as long as there is this game as a reference, and other teams follow the cat and follow the cat, and consciously cut off the passing route between Hoffenheim's teammates and Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin's threat will be much lower.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation in the game next time, the players did not know how to deal with it, Ralph first adjusted Lu Wenbin's position in this tactical meeting and defined him as a free man in the front court.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Wenbin still plays in his original position, after all, his teammates are more familiar with that style of play.

If he encounters a situation similar to that of Udinese, Lu Wenbin can retreat to the midfield position, and there is no restriction on whether it is in the middle or on the wing.

In addition to Ibisevic's position, Lu Wenbin can switch positions with any teammate in midfield.

Where it is easier to catch the ball, Lu Wenbin can go there.

However, letting Lu Wenbin retreat to the midfield does not require Lu Wenbin to take the ball from the midfield and run long distances to the forbidden area to shoot, and Lu Wenbin's speed, dribbling, and physique do not have the ability to run long distances in the Bundesliga and the League Cup.

The purpose of this is to allow Lu Wenbin to withdraw from the 'no-go' zone and get a more relaxed environment for passing and receiving the ball, and then shoot with his feet from outside the no-go.

Although Lu Wenbin's long-range shooting power is not great, his shooting accuracy is still far better than the rest of the team.

As long as you hit the woodwork, there is a good chance of scoring, like Lu Wenbin's goal in the second half against Udinese.
