Playing football for Hoffenheim U19 is completely different from playing in China.
In previous training matches and warm-up matches, Lu Wenbin felt that against the stronger Hoffenheim U19 team, he did not need to frequently dribble the ball from the backcourt to break through the opponent's entire defense line and shoot to score.
Many times, as long as Lu Wenbin waits in front, the full-backs and midfield teammates will naturally find ways to pass the ball to the striker.
After testing in the first two official matches, Lu Wenbin felt this even more strongly.
In these two official matches, although Lu Wenbin also used his speed, body and dribbling to perform personal breakthroughs, the number of times was actually not many.
More often than not, as long as Lu Wenbin ran into an open space, his teammates would pass the ball to him, and he would need to shoot and score.
In this case, the goal of adding attributes to Lu Wenbin's skill points is very clear, which is to increase the shooting attribute.
Even if Lu Wenbin's speed, physique and dribbling are average, he can still stand out as long as his finishing skills are good enough.
As for other attributes, add them when you have more skill points, and first have one excellent attribute that exceeds that of ordinary players.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin added all his 9 skill points to the potential value and current ability of the shooting attribute, increasing the shooting attribute from 14/14 to 17/17.
If we only look at his shooting attributes, these are already the data of a top striker in world football, and he can occupy the top position in the scorer list in the five major leagues.
In the German 2nd Division, they are definitely the best team. As for the German U19 Regional League, they can easily crush their opponents.
The defensive interference ability of opponents in youth team matches is not as high as that in the top league. Lu Wenbin uses the shooting attributes of a top-notch striker in the top league to shoot, so he naturally crushes them easily.
As long as Lu Wenbin gets the chance to shoot, the chances of hitting the goal frame and scoring a goal are quite high.
After adding attribute points, Lu Wenbin couldn't wait to show his skills in the next league game.
The youth team's next league game is the last game before the German winter break, and the opponent is a bit coincidental: Hoffenheim's youth team and the first team are facing the same team.
In the 13th round of the German U19 Southern Regional League in the 2007/2008 season, Hoffenheim U19 played away against Fürth U19. The match time was at 11 am on December 15th.
The 17th round of the German Bundesliga 2 is also Hoffenheim's away game against Fürth, but one day later, the game time is 14:00 on December 16th.
After only achieving two draws and one loss in the last three rounds of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim first-team coach Ralf Rangnick is indeed a little anxious about the team's offensive power.
Coincidentally, Nigel Noyes, the head of the youth training department, and Ian Balfour, the head coach of the U19 team, jointly recommended to Ralph that the owner Hope had introduced the young player Lu Wenbin from China in the summer.
Although Lu Wenbin is only 17 years old, it is a bit early for him to play in the professional league, just reaching the age threshold of 17 required to play in the German professional league.
But who asked Lu Wenbin to perform too well in the two games of the youth team, and Ralph just wanted to supplement and change the forward line
So, on the morning of December 15, when the match between Hoffenheim U19 youth team and Fürth U19 youth team was about to begin, Hoffenheim first-team head coach Ralf Rangnick appeared on the sidelines and stood with U19 head coach Balfour.
Fürth is more than 200 kilometers away from Hoffenheim. Ralph came here this morning specifically to watch Lu Wenbin's performance in the youth league. The other players of the first team will arrive in Fürth in the afternoon to prepare for the first team game the next day.
The youth team and the first team played against the same opponent, both away games, and only one day apart, which was why Ralph had just enough time to watch Lu Wenbin's performance on site.
The players naturally all saw Ralf Rangnick, although everyone understood that Ralf must have come to focus on watching Lu Wenbin, who scored 4 goals and had 3 assists in two games.
However, everyone also wants to perform well, what if Ralph takes a fancy to them
Even if I am not selected this time, if I perform well and leave a good impression, maybe I will be transferred to the first team the next time when the first team is short of people in the corresponding position
So, after the game started, Hoffenheim's players were eager to show their personal abilities. Everyone wanted to dribble the ball through five levels and rush to the front to take a shot, and there was almost no teamwork.
Including Lu Wenbin, they were all a little impatient. When he should have passed the ball, he chose to shoot. When he should have passed the ball, he still shot.
Therefore, Hoffenheim had not scored a goal in the first 30 minutes, and Lu Wenbin's few shots did not create any threat.
The shooting attribute of 17/17 does not mean that you can always hit the target. It still depends on the timing. Forcing a shot when the timing is not right is a wrong approach.
Instead, it was Fürth U19 who scored a goal in the 28th minute, taking advantage of Hoffenheim's poor interception in the midfield and the lack of coordination in the backcourt defense.
After Fürth U19 scored a goal, everyone turned their heads to look at the sidelines. When they saw that the two coaches, Ralph and Balfour, shook their heads, Hoffenheim's players, including Lu Wenbin, woke up from their dreams.
In fact, on the football field, the requirements for players in each position are different. It is not necessary for everyone to dribble past several players and score a goal to be an excellent performance. Professional coaches will not only focus on those who score goals like fans do.
The job of the midfielders is to assist in passing and intercepting, the backcourt players are to defend, and the goalkeeper is to guard the goal.
The players who are able to be promoted to U19 have all gone through layers of selection. In fact, they all know what the coach’s selection criteria are.
Just now, because of our anxious mentality, everyone fought on their own, which gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.
After Fürth U19 scored a goal and woke everyone up, the Hoffenheim U19 players began to behave much more normally.
At this time, Lu Wenbin, whose mentality had returned to normal, began to use his personal abilities to show his prowess.
In the 37th minute, Lu Wenbin received a quick pass from his teammate Bernie Gershwin in the penalty area, and shot the ball without stopping. The ball passed the goalkeeper's fingertips and flew into the far corner of the Fürth team's goal.
The two Fürth defenders who were nearby stretched out their feet in time, but failed to touch the ball and destroy it.
It was really because Lu Wenbin shot the ball directly at such a fast speed without stopping it that they were beyond their expectations.
If Lu Wenbin stopped the ball and adjusted before shooting, he might not have scored.
The goal was scored by shooting directly without stopping the ball and into the dead corner. It shows the value of Lu Wenbin's 17/17 shooting attribute.
Shortly after Lu Wenbin scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. The first half ended with a score of Hoffenheim 1-1 Fürth, and the two sides were in a draw.
