Chapter 230: Big Surprise (500 plus change for monthly pass)
In the 1/8 final of the German Cup with Mainz, Lu Wenbin won 1 goal 2000+ team won 4000, a total of 6000 experience points, and the experience rose to 44.8/1 million at level 15.
After the competition on January 28th, there will be a holiday on the 29th and a day of training on the 30th.
During training, Ralph tried to make Demba Ba and Lu Wenbin, who were more cooperative, partner as two strikers.
But Demba Ba and Lu Wenbin are not authentic center forwards, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the forbidden area, it is difficult to fight for the top, get the ball, and be a fulcrum, and the offensive effect is worse than that of Paljic as a center forward.
The club also failed to find a suitable centre-forward in the transfer market, and Ralph will have to keep Paljic in the role of starting centre-forward for the next game.
At 15:30 p.m. on January 31, the first Bundesliga match after the winter break, Hoffenheim sat at the Rhein-Neckar Arena and hosted the third-to-last Cottages.
It was also the first official match at the Rhein Neckar Arena, and it was packed to capacity.
Shao Jiayi is still injured and has not been able to play, and the Chinese derby that the Chinese media and fans are looking forward to has remained in the imagination.
In this game, Lu Wenbin, who returned to normal state, ushered in a big explosion in the cheers of more than 30,000 fans at home.
Cottages in the relegation zone are weak, whether it is the individual strength of the players who mark Lu Wenbin or the overall ability of the team's backline to assist in the defense, it cannot be compared with Bayern, Schalke 04 and so on.
Although Eduardo was suspended and Paldjic did not cooperate tacitly, Hoffenheim still helped Lu Wenbin score three goals with his overall strength, of which captain Salihovic assisted two.
In the end, Lu Wenbin scored a hat-trick in the space of 70 minutes, two of which were scored in the no-out zone and one long-range shot from outside the no-go zone.
After 70 minutes, Ralph replaced Lu Wenbin with Demba Ba, leaving Lu Wenbin to the applause of the fans.
The applause and screams of the fans for Lu Wenbin's adoration lasted for a long time.
Hoffenheim defeated Cottage 3-0 at home with Lu Wenbin's hat-trick, kicking Cottage into the relegation zone again, and disappointing countless media and rival fans who were expecting Hoffenheim to suffer Waterloo.
Hoffenheim's own supporters, of course, rejoiced.
In this game, Lu Wenbin won 3 goals and 30,000 + wins of 20,000, a total of 50,000 experience points, and the experience rose to level 15 49.8/1 million.
After all the matches in this round, Hoffenheim continued to rank first in the Bundesliga standings with 18 games, 15 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, accumulating 46 points.
Bayern Munich, who lost away to Hamburg, stayed at 33 points, and were overtaken by Hertha Berlin and Hamburg who won the game, and fell to fourth place.
Lu Wenbin's Bundesliga goals have risen to 32, making this season's Bundesliga scorer list completely out of suspense.
Now everyone is talking about whether Lu Wenbin can win the European Golden Boot and whether he can break the Bundesliga legend's record of 40 goals in a single season set by German superstar Gerd Müller in the 1971/1972 season.
With Lu Wenbin's current goal trend, this record is really likely to be broken by Lu Wenbin, and it is very likely.
On the same day that Lu Wenbin scored a hat-trick to help Hoffenheim beat Ivbus 3-0, before the deadline of January 31 in the European winter transfer period, Hoffenheim finally reached an agreement with Werder Bremen to sign Werder Bremen on loan to Werder Bremen's substitute centre-forward Bobbaka Sanogo.
Sanogo will wear the number 18 shirt at Hoffenheim.
Sanogo is taller than Paldjic, physically stronger than Paljic, and should be stronger than Paldgic in terms of personal strength.
Although there is no tacit understanding with the team, there is finally an extra spare center, and there is no need to worry about not even having a substitute and rotating center.
Of course, when the time really comes to the end, the team's last substitute centre-forward, No. 28 Miriis Merridge, who has not made a few appearances last season or this season, can only be brought on.
After a day off, the team resumed training on February 2, and striker Obasi returned to the team on January 21 after recuperating from an injury in training for ten days.
As a result, before even the morning training was over, Obasi strained his big leg again.
This time, based on the preliminary examination of the team doctor's experience, Obasi had to recuperate for at least half a month. His muscle strain has a tendency to become a habitual repetitive strain.
A subsequent examination at the medical center proved that the team doctor's judgment was correct, and Obasi had indeed become a stubborn disease with repeated strains and needed at least three weeks of recuperation.
This really makes Ralph just want to drive him crazy.
In the next game, Hoffenheim can only continue to rank 442 and cannot play the 433 offensive formation.
At 15:30 pm on February 7, in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim challenged Borussia Mönchengladbach away.
Borussia Mönchengladbach, who was promoted with Hoffenheim last season, is a veritable promotion horse.
After the first 18 rounds, Borussia Mönchen only achieved a poor result of three wins, two draws and thirteen defeats, and finished at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings with 11 points, ranking first from the bottom.
Therefore, although Eduardo continued to be banned in this round of the league, Obasi was injured again, and only Lu Wenbin and Paldjic were paired on the front line, and it was still an away game, but the whole Hoffenheim team still seemed very relaxed.
Everyone did not expect that Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are at the bottom of the table, would cause any trouble to Hoffenheim, who are at the top of the Bundesliga.
As a result, Hoffenheim were sniped away from home by Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were desperately trying to get points for relegation.
Lu Wenbin failed to score in several shots in this game under the interference of the opponent's two defenders, and did not score a goal in four free kicks.
Hoffenheim eventually secured a 1-1 draw away from Borussia Monchengladbach thanks to captain Salihovic's long-range strike from outside the penalty zone.
Lu Wenbin neither scored nor led the team to win, and he did not gain any experience in this game.
Ibisevic's injury, Eduardo's absence, the lack of tacit cooperation in the forward line, and the desperateness of Borussia Mönchengladbach are all reasons why Lu Wenbin did not score a goal in this game and Hoffenheim was forced to draw by the penultimate relegation team.
Hoffenheim, who are ranked first in the Bundesliga, will be held to a draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach from the bottom, which is really unexpected, and at the same time, it has made many media chant that this game is the beginning of Hoffenheim's collapse in the second half of the season.
However, the good news for Hoffenheim is that Eduardo, the main striker who has been banned for two games in the next round of league games, can return from the ban.
When the time comes, with Eduardo and Salihovic, two skilled forwards, to deliver cannonballs to Lu Wenbin, presumably the game will not be so difficult anymore.
