Seven-time Champion

Chapter 104: Hoffenheim squad list

Views:

Although Lu Wenbin's skill attributes can be increased by skill points, a player's on-the-spot state also affects his performance on the field. Having high attributes does not necessarily mean he can score goals or lead the team to victory.

This state depends on the players' self-discipline and maintenance through training.

If Lu Wenbin does not insist on training during the holidays, but instead uses the holidays to travel around, it is unclear whether he can maintain such an outstanding performance in the last three games of the U19 after being promoted to the first team in the second half of the season.

If Lu Wenbin fails to seize the opportunity, he may still be sent back to the youth team. How can he complete the mission

Just like Ronaldinho, his various skills are certainly very high, but because he has been hanging out in nightclubs for a long time, has a chaotic private life, is not active in training, and cannot maintain a good competitive form, this season Lu Wenbin has rarely seen news of Ronaldinho playing and performing well in Barcelona.

Ronaldinho, who has already achieved success, has the capital to spend money, but Lu Wenbin does not. Even if he has the capital, Lu Wenbin will not do it.

With a plug-in-like football championship system, Lu Wenbin wants to become a star in world football, rather than a comet that flashes by.

Therefore, after the club dinner, Lu Wenbin called his parents to tell them about his situation, then stayed in Hoffenheim to practice on his own and continue learning German.

When Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui heard that Lu Wenbin had been called up to the first team, they naturally gave their strong support and asked Lu Wenbin to train and study well in Germany and strive to play in the first team as soon as possible so that they could see Lu Wenbin on TV.

Although the German 2nd Division League does not have live broadcasts, it does have video recordings. As long as Lu Wenbin performs well, the Chinese media will definitely broadcast Lu Wenbin's game highlights to domestic fans.

By then, Lu Chongxin and his wife will be able to watch their son's game.

The 20-day holiday passed in a flash. On January 14, 2008, the first day of Hoffenheim's first team training after the winter break, Lu Wenbin was about to report to the first team.

During the holidays, Lu Wenbin went to the training ground every day to practice, strictly followed the diet set by the club's nutritionist, and continued to learn German with Fu Qingqing.

At the end of the holiday, Lu Wenbin grew another 1cm taller, reaching 171cm, and his weight increased to 62kg.

On the morning of January 14, after breakfast, Lu Wenbin left his residence alone and walked to the Hoffenheim training base.

After intensive study during the holidays, Lu Wenbin now has no problem communicating with the German villagers in the village.

In addition, Fu Qingqing's contract would expire and she would return to China in more than a month, so Lu Wenbin did not let Fu Qingqing go to the training ground with him.

He always had to leave the translator and live on his own in Germany.

On the way, villagers kept greeting Lu Wenbin, and several youth team players who also lived in the village came out to meet Lu Wenbin, wishing each other a Happy New Year, and walked towards the training base together.

Most of the first-team players have cars and live in Rhine-Neckar County or Sinsheim City. Only the poor youth team players like Lu Wenbin live in the villagers' houses rented for them by the club and then walk to the club every day to report.

After entering the training base, Lu Wenbin said goodbye to several teammates from the youth team, and then walked towards the first-team training ground that he had visited when he first came to Germany.

When he arrived outside the first-team locker room, Lu Wenbin saw that the door of the locker room was open, but there was no sound from inside.

Lu Wenbin came early today on purpose. There should be no one in the locker room now. The door should have been opened by the stadium manager.

Lu Wenbin took a deep breath, pushed open the half-open locker room door, and walked in.

As expected, there was no one inside and it looked like no one had been there before.

Lu Wenbin first curiously visited the locker room, which was equipped with a toilet, shower room, wardrobe, tactical board, conference table, stools, etc.

Then, Lu Wenbin began to look for his own wardrobe.

Each wardrobe has the name and number of the first-team players on it.

No. 1 Daniel Haas, No. 19 Vedad Ibisevic, No. 20 Chinedu Obasi, No. 29 Demba Ba, etc.

There were 32 players in the first team, and the numbers were arranged up to 33, and no one wanted number 31.

However, Lu Wenbin did not ask for number 31. He wanted number 90, the year he was born.

Lu Wenbin found his wardrobe in the corner of the locker room, with the number and name "90—lu·wenbin" on it.

Opening the wardrobe, there are several storage compartments on the top, middle and bottom. Some of them are empty, probably used to store clothes.

There are also some storage compartments with clean and tidy jerseys, sneakers, socks, shin guards, wrist guards, training suits and other equipment hanging or placed.

It is said that some teams require new players to polish the shoes of old players, but obviously Hoffenheim does not have this kind of thing.

Dietmar Hopp, who is not short of money, hired administrators and cleaners to do these things, so the players only need to concentrate on training and games.

After finding his own wardrobe, Lu Wenbin began to change into training clothes.

After a few minutes, someone entered the locker room. It turned out to be Hoffenheim captain, the team's offensive core, and No. 23 attacking midfielder Sejad Salihovic.

Lu Wenbin had known him from TV and home games. When he saw him come in, he immediately greeted him, "Hello, captain. I'm Lu Wenbin, the youth team player reporting here today."

Salihovic shook hands with Lu Wenbin, then smiled and said, "I know you. You are the only Asian and Chinese in our club. You scored 8 goals and had 3 assists in the three U19 league games before the winter break. Your efficiency is very good. Therefore, head coach Ralph transferred you to the first team. I came so early today to introduce you to your first-team teammates. Welcome, Lu, just call me Salihovic from now on."

Lu Wenbin nodded and thanked Salihovic.

Then, after a while, other teammates of the first team entered the locker room one after another, and Salihovic introduced them to Lu Wenbin one by one.

Except for a few forwards who are in competition with Lu Wenbin, everyone else has a good attitude towards Lu Wenbin.

I have to say that the effect of the primary leader's halo is indeed powerful.

As long as Lu Wenbin has no problem with language, he won't have to waste time thinking about integrating into the team, and no one will discriminate against him or target him because of his skin color.

It was almost 9 o'clock when all the players arrived. After changing into their training clothes, they left the locker room one after another and walked towards the training ground.

The first day of training for Hoffenheim's first team after the winter break of the 2007/2008 season officially began.
