Chapter 151: Winning the Championship Celebration

The German Cup does not have the Golden Boot and the best player awards, but it will be ranked and selected on the official website of the Football Association and the media after the game, which is also a recognized honor.

With 10 goals in four games, Lu Wenbin was undoubtedly the top scorer in the 2007/2008 German Cup, more than double the second-place finisher.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin also won the honor of the best player in this German Cup with 10 goals and 3 assists, and led Hoffenheim to defeat Bayern to win the championship.

In the 2007/2008 season of the German Football Association Cup, the biggest gain was Lu Wenbin, a 17-year-old rookie from China.

After returning to the hotel, the whole Hoffenheim team, including the owner Hope and the general manager Rothouse, drank and celebrated until the early hours of the morning, and then went back to their rooms to rest with sleep.

Early the next morning, numerous media outlets in Germany, Europe and around the world reported the results of the 2007/2008 DFB Cup final.

With the fame of Bayern Munich, the overlord of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim became famous all over the world at once.

Even with it, Lu Wenbin has also become well-known.

……

Lu Wenbin and the others slept until noon, then got up for lunch, and then rushed back to Sinsheim non-stop.

That's where Hoffenheim really celebrates their victory.

After getting off the plane at Frankfurt Airport, the team bus was followed by hundreds of Hoffenheim fans' cars and followed the team to the south.

Entering the county of Rhine-Neckar, Hoffenheim was greeted by tens of thousands of fans.

These fans are not only local fans in Hocun, Rhine Neckar County, and Sinsheim City, but also fans in nearby Frankfurt, Heidelberg, and Stuttgart.

A resounding German Cup dragon slaying legend and reversal to win the championship have added countless die-hard new fans to Hoffenheim.

Originally, the Hoffenheim club buses traveled to Frankfurt, Rhein-Nekar, Hoffenheim and Sinsheim city centre.

However, the village was too small, and the city of Sinsheim prepared a celebration space for Hoffenheim in the municipal square.

Therefore, the whole Hoffenheim team bypassed the village of Hofenheim and rushed to the city center to hold a celebration ceremony.

There, Hoffenheim was celebrated by nearly 100,000 Sinsheim citizens.

It was Sinsheim's first-ever German Cup title and a win over Bayern Munich.

All the citizens of Sinsheim immediately became the most loyal fans of Hoffenheim.

When Lu Wenbin appeared on the balcony on the second floor of the city hall with the trophy in his hand, listening to nearly 100,000 people shouting "Lu-Lu-Lu", Lu Wenbin felt a kind of spiritual shock.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of tears in his eyes.

Although his goal was the sea of stars, Hoffenheim was destined to be only a springboard for his conquest of Europe.

But as his first team in Germany, he should leave Hoffenheim with a title that they would be proud enough for decades before leaving, as a reward for the owner Hope who brought him to Germany, as well as the ordinary fans who supported him.

Even when celebrating the goal on the pitch, Lu Wenbin did not kiss the team emblem on his jersey, because at that time he did not have any feelings and feelings of belonging to Hoffenheim.

He just saw Hoffenheim as his first springboard to conquer Europe and conquer the world, and he was not destined to stay in Hoffenheim for long.

But now, at the municipal square in the city of Sinsheim, Lu Wenbin was touched by the fans. In front of nearly 100,000 fans, he lifted his jersey and gently bowed his head and kissed the team emblem on the jersey.

Seeing Lu Wenbin, the first contributor to the team's victory in the German Cup, kissing the team emblem, the fans in the square were even more excited, countless people shouted his name with all their might, and some even shed tears of excitement!

……

In addition to participating in the celebration collectively, Lu Wenbin's exposure after the German Cup final also increased greatly, not only facing more autograph requests from fans when he went to the stadium to train every day, but also many interviews with reporters and invitations to commercial endorsements.

Lu Wenbin had an invitation to commercial endorsement for the first time, and he finally became a star with commercial value.

In order to deal with these things, Mendes personally stayed in Hoffenheim for more than half a month, signing two short-term endorsements for Lu Wenbin for only one year before leaving.

It's not that there is no longer endorsement invitation, but Lu Wenbin and Mendes both think that signing is too long and not cost-effective.

Only after Lu Wenbin enters the Bundesliga and performs well in the UEFA Cup next season can he attract real big contracts.

Now those who are trying to sign long-term endorsements are here to speculate and take advantage of them in advance. However, Lu Wenbin and Mendes did not give them a chance.

The one-year advertising endorsement for two still pictures was 200,000 yuan each, and a total of 400,000 euros of endorsement fees were sent to Lu Wenbin.

Of course, because he has to pay taxes and share with Mendes, Lu Wenbin himself got less than 200,000 euros.

However, even then, it is already a lot of additional income.

Converted into RMB, it is almost 2 million.

Lu Wenbin's own salary and bonuses in the club are already very high, even if the consumption in Europe is high, it will not be used up at all.

Therefore, this first endorsement Fei Lu Wenbin sent back to his parents, asking them to buy a better and larger house in the county.

The houses in the old family area of the winery are all decades old and very dilapidated. I didn't think it before, but now that I have money, Lu Wenbin wants my parents to live better.

Even Lu Wenbin thought that his parents quit their jobs, and he could support his old age by fishing and raising flowers every day, anyway, he could afford to be filial.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui.

It is right to buy a better house, Lu Wenbin has become a big star, and he must have a better new house to settle down when he comes back in the future.

As for the job, they won't quit. Both of them are young and in the prime of life, and they feel bad when they quit their jobs and have nothing to do.

Doing business or something, the two have never done it before, and they don't want to start over in a field they are not familiar with, and they will work hard.

So, Lu Wenbin asked his father to tell the boss to change the two of them to a more idle position, such as the union or something, there is no need to work in the workshop, and it doesn't matter if the salary is low.

This Lu Chongxin did not refuse.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin also asked his father to buy a car, and Lu Chongxin did not refuse.

Lu Chongxin has a driver's license, but he has never had the money to buy a car, which is also a big pity. Now his son finally bought one for him at his expense, and he can be regarded as realizing his dream of having a house and a car.

Among relatives, colleagues, and in the small circle of Meitan, Lu Wenbin finally fought for his parents and made them raise their eyebrows.
