The match between the Bundesliga teams in the 27th round was a bit long, with Kaiserslautern vs Hoffenheim on 4 April and the last Cologne vs Borussia Mönchengladbach match being dragged on 7 April.

On the evening of April 7, Borussia Monchengladbach, who had previously ranked first, and Cologne, who had finished third, played a 1-1 draw at home in Cologne, with no one profiting.

By the end of the game, Hoffenheim had equalled Borussia Mönchengladbach on points, with both teams tied on 52 points.

Hoffenheim made a lot of clean sheets because of the addition of Lu Wenbin after the winter break.

As a result, in the Bundesliga standings after the 27th round, Hoffenheim surpassed Borussia Mönchengladbach, who also had 52 points, in the standings by virtue of goal difference, and ranked first in the standings for the first time this season.

Ranked first in the standings, the team won 13 consecutive games, and Lu Wenbin scored in 13 consecutive games......

The performances of Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin not only shocked Germany, but also a large number of media and fans in Europe.

Some people commented that if Lu Wenbin helped Hoffenheim to be promoted to the first division as the champion of the Bundesliga this season, and Lu Wenbin can continue to perform like this in the Bundesliga next season, the 2008 European Golden Boy Award selected by the Italian "Torino Sports Newspaper" is likely to lose suspense early and become Lu Wenbin's bag.

Seeing the reports and comments of these foreign newspapers, both Hoffenheim FC and the fans are very happy.

Obviously, Hoffenheim's popularity has not only broken out of the German Second Division and spread to the whole of Germany, but also has a certain popularity abroad.

Dietmar Hope even made a rare move to intervene in the team's athletic aspects, specifically talking to Ralph Rangnick and asking Ralph to publicly establish Lu Wenbin's core position in the team.

Not because Lu Wenbin is a descendant brought by Hope from China personally, but because in Hope's heart, the European Golden Boy Award is a world-renowned award.

If Lu Wenbin from Hoffenheim can win the award, it will undoubtedly be a kind of publicity for Hoffenheim.

Moreover, Lu Wenbin has scored in 13 consecutive games, with a total of 29 goals, and has ranked first in the German B scorer list and the German Cup scorer list.

Ralph Rangnick thought about it and agreed to his boss's request.

As a result, before the 28th round of the league, Ralph publicly established Lu Wenbin's core position within the team at the team's internal meeting.

Not just the offensive core, but the heart of the whole team. In the future, free kicks, penalty kicks, etc., Lu Wenbin will be the first penalty taker, not just the default of his teammates.

If there are no special circumstances, Lu Wenbin will also be the one who must start every game.

When the decision was announced, Ralph was a little worried about causing a backlash from captain Salihovic.

If there is infighting in the team at this time, it will obviously be detrimental to the team's next games.

However, Salihovic only frowned slightly, and then calmly took the lead in agreement.

Although Salihovic was not very comfortable, he didn't know what was going on, he just couldn't get angry with Lu Wenbin.

Salihovic felt that perhaps it was Lu Wenbin's performance after entering the first team that convinced his big brother, so he calmly accepted the fact that Lu Wenbin replaced him as the first core of the team.

In fact, everyone doesn't know that Lu Wenbin's genius performance is only one aspect, and the impact of Lu Wenbin's leadership aura on Salihovic is crucial.

Otherwise, a 17-year-old who has only been in the first team for less than half a season, no matter how much credit he has, it is impossible to convince Salihovic.

After calmly establishing the new core of the team, Hoffenheim's tactics also underwent some changes, and the whole team began to build new tactics around Lu Wenbin, and everyone took delivering shells to Lu Wenbin as the first priority.

Ralph just wanted to see how many goals he could score in a game with Lu Wenbin's accurate goalmouth shooting skills after gathering the strength of the whole team to deliver cannonballs to Lu Wenbin.

On April 11, in the 28th round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga, Hoffenheim faced the ninth-ranked Aachen at home, which became Lu Wenbin's first game as a new core.

Lu Wenbin knew that although he was protected by the aura of a leader, he was only a beginner after all. Moreover, the new core is not rhetorical, but needs to be matched by actual performance.

If Lu Wenbin can't show a convincing performance in today's game, even with the aura of a leader, it is difficult to guarantee that Salihovic will not resist.

Not to mention the team's infighting, with Salihovic's organizational and offensive ability, as long as he passes less to Lu Wenbin on the court, Lu Wenbin will have many fewer scoring opportunities.

Therefore, in this home game against Aachen in the 28th round, Lu Wenbin showed the same hard work as the semifinals of the German Cup.

Of course, the teammates also followed the instructions of the head coach and gathered the strength of the whole team to deliver cannonballs to Lu Wenbin to see what performance he could show as a new core.

As a result, in the 3rd minute of the opening game, before some fans sat down, Lu Wenbin received Ibisevic's header at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the Aachen goal like a cruise missile.

Aachen's goalkeeper turned his head to watch the ball go into the net, and didn't even have time to make a save.

It's only 3 minutes into the game, so it's too fast!

On and off the field, countless people were stunned, only the sound of Lu Wenbin yelling and rushing to the sidelines resounded throughout the audience.

The audience fell silent for a second or two before a huge scream and roar erupted.

An excited fan flipped directly over the guardrail, jumped down and rushed towards Lu Wenbin with open arms.

Lu Wenbin was startled at first, but thinking that it was a fan who admired him, Lu Wenbin didn't hide, hugged the fans who rushed over, and asked him to take a photo with his mobile phone.

Then, the satisfied fan was dragged away by the security guards.

This little episode made Lu Wenbin even more combative: We are also die-hard fans who are willing to climb the guardrail to chase stars!

The next game was a desperate fit for the Aachen players.

It's not that they didn't target Lu Wenbin, but that Lu Wenbin's shooting skills were too accurate and his ability to grasp shooting opportunities was too strong.

Even if someone is sent to guard Lu Wenbin, but Lu Wenbin has 10/10 running without the ball and 13/13 dribbling, how can Lu Wenbin be completely stared to death in the 90 minutes of the whole game?

Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund can't do it, let alone Aachen in the middle of the Bundesliga?

As long as Lu Wenbin gets the opportunity to shoot with his feet, the shooting attribute of 20/20 full value is simply inexplicable near the penalty area.
