In the stadium of Wayne Wiesbaden, in the press box, several Chinese reporters were ecstatic when they saw Lu Wenbin score a goal. They applauded and screamed enthusiastically to celebrate their compatriot Lu Wenbin's goal.
However, when I saw Lu Wenbin’s next move, I was a little surprised.
After scoring a goal, he ran to the stands to celebrate and made provocative gestures of listening. This is totally inconsistent with the traditional image of Chinese people who are cautious, modest and introverted!
"This... This is too rude, isn't it?" a mature and steady middle-aged reporter stuttered.
"Yes, provoking the fans like this really damages the image of us Chinese!" another person nodded in agreement.
However, a younger reporter immediately retorted: "Why should we be polite? Strength is everything on the football field. It's useless to be polite without strength! Besides, why should we be polite to the fans who cursed Lu Wenbin? I think Lu Wenbin did a good job. It would be best if he could score another goal and continue to teach these Wayne fans a lesson!"
"That's right, I support it!" Others immediately agreed with the young reporter's point of view, and everyone even shouted slogans to cheer for Lu Wenbin.
The two older reporters looked at each other, looked at the shouting young reporters with displeasure, shook their heads, and sat down.
After performing an assist and a goal in 15 minutes in the first German Cup quarter-final, some netizens in China called for Lu Wenbin to join the National Olympic Team to participate in this year's 2008 Beijing Olympic Men's Football Tournament and win glory for the country.
After all, a player at the level of the German Second Division can easily play as a main player for the Chinese national team, let alone the U23 National Olympic Team!
But if Lu Wenbin has this kind of personality, they think it is better for him not to appear on the national Olympic team roster, so as not to embarrass the country at home when participating in the Olympics.
They decided to observe Lu Wenbin's performance next.
If Lu Wenbin really has the kind of personality that disregards his image and provokes and confronts fans, they must report it and ask the National Olympic Team not to recruit Lu Wenbin, no matter how skilled he is.
…
On the field, after the restart, Lu Wenbin, who had just scored a goal and provoked the home fans, naturally received special attention from Wayne players.
In just 10 minutes, Lu Wenbin was knocked down twice.
However, this does not scare Lu Wenbin.
On the contrary, the fans' scolding and opponents' attention made him more and more excited.
Lu Wenbin felt the pleasure that he could never feel in his studies. He enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention on the court. Even if it was the hatred of his enemies, it was better than being ignored by everyone.
Lu Wenbin continued to run actively and look for opportunities.
In the 28th minute, Eduardo used the Brazilian's excellent dribbling skills to dribble the ball horizontally at the top of the penalty area to attract the attention of two opposing defenders, and then suddenly made a heel pass, catching the opponent off guard.
The ball rolled to the empty space on the other side of the penalty area, and Lu Wenbin and another Wayne defender rushed into the penalty area.
While running, Lu Wenbin felt that he would not be able to grab the ball if he ran normally, so he took the lead and fell to the ground to tackle the ball, shoveled it into the small penalty area.
The goalkeeper thought Lu Wenbin was shooting and was shaken, almost falling to the ground.
As a result, Lu Wenbin unexpectedly passed the ball.
By the time he regained his balance and rushed back to the middle, Obasi had already rushed into the small penalty area and poked the ball into the goal with his toe.
The goalkeeper was out of reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin assisted Obasi to score another goal in the penalty area, and Hoffenheim led Wiesbaden 2-0 away.
Before the first half was over, Lu Wenbin had already scored a goal and made an assist.
Such performance is absolutely amazing for a 17-year-old young man who is playing in the German Second Division for the first time.
Even if Lu Wenbin never scores any more goals or makes any more assists in the future, no one will be disappointed in him.
However, Lu Wenbin himself was not satisfied with this.
Assists could not satisfy his need to protest against the extreme fans who racially discriminated against his skin color and nationality.
Only when he scores a goal can he celebrate in a demonstrative manner, letting those fans know that it is their behavior that has brought disaster to their team.
In the 39th minute, Lu Wenbin shot from outside the penalty area, but the shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper due to lack of power and slow speed.
The power brought by the 12/12 physique is enough for long-range shots against amateur goalkeepers in the domestic high school league, but it is quite difficult to deal with professional goalkeepers in the German Second Division.
It's not that it's impossible to score a goal, it's just that the power is not strong enough and the speed of the ball is too slow, which gives the opponent's goalkeeper enough time to prepare and save the ball, so the chances of scoring a goal with a long shot are not high.
It seems that the only way to have a better chance of scoring is to shoot inside the penalty area.
In the 45th minute, the fourth official announced one minute of extra time, and the first half was about to end.
At this moment, Wayne's attack was intercepted by Hoffenheim's No. 21 midfielder Luis Gustavo, who made a long pass to the right frontcourt and found right winger Obasi.
Because Wayne was trying to use the time of the game to attack and score a goal, the overall pressure was relatively high. After Gustavo intercepted the ball and passed it to Obasi, a three-on-four situation was formed in the frontcourt.
Lu Wenbin, Ibisevic and Obasi shot at the same time and rushed towards the goal of Wayne team.
Obasi's dribbling skills are not bad. After passing a full-back on the wing, he made a cross from the bottom. Ibisevic and Lu Wenbin had already rushed into the penalty area.
Obasi's cross was of good quality, and Ibisevic seemed to be about to get the first point. Wayne's goalkeeper stood nervously in front of the goal, ready to save Ibisevic's header.
However, just when everyone's attention was on Ibrahimovic's header, Lu Wenbin, who had already rushed into the small penalty area, suddenly stopped, quietly retreated a little distance, and shook off a full-back who was following him.
At this time, Ibisevic, who had already jumped up, was disturbed by the opponent's central defender but failed to head the ball towards the goal, but instead rubbed the ball to the back post.
The full-back in front of Lu Wenbin jumped up, but failed to head the ball; he just headed it too far.
The next thing was easy. Lu Wenbin at the back post didn't even jump. He just stood behind the goal and tilted his head slightly, and headed the ball that Ibrahimovic had rubbed against the back post into the goal.
In the first half stoppage time, Ibisevic assisted Lu Wenbin to score a goal again. Lu Wenbin completed two goals and an assist in the first half, helping Hoffenheim lead Wiesbaden 3-0 away.
