In the 88th minute, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Obasi at the front of the penalty area and made a shooting motion, which caused a central defender to jump up and turn around to block the ball with his back. However, Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball and slipped past him into the penalty area.
Then, after taking two steps in the penalty area, Lu Wenbin kicked the ball before another central defender of the opposing team rushed over to block the shooting angle.
Lu Wenbin used all his strength and kicked the ball hard with the back of his right foot.
Then the ball rushed towards the goal like a cannonball.
The angle of this ball was actually not tricky, but the distance was too close and the power was too great in the penalty area.
The goalkeeper's subconscious save caught the ball but he didn't hit it out. The ball bounced off the goalkeeper's arm and went into the net along the bottom edge of the crossbar.
In the 88th minute of the game, Lu Wenbin scored Hoffenheim's fifth goal of the game and his third goal of the game.
In his second first-team game, first start and first 2. Bundesliga match, Lu Wenbin scored a hat-trick and assisted in a brace.
This is exactly the same data as the first two games after he got the chance to play in the youth team.
When Lu Wenbin saw the ball he had kicked with all his strength fly into the goal, he immediately ran out of the penalty area, jogging along the sideline while pressing his hands down to signal the fans to be quiet.
This rare celebration stunned everyone, and most of the fans in the stands were silent.
Some people put their hands on their heads, staring blankly at Lu Wenbin, and remained silent. Some bowed their heads and cried silently. Some patted their foreheads in frustration and turned to walk out of the venue.
Even among the extreme fans who gathered together, except for a few diehards who continued to curse Lu Wenbin, most people kept their heads down and remained silent.
After being beaten 5-0 at home by the team of Forbes super-rich Dietmar Hopp, people might still complain and despise Hopp's money-driven football.
However, Wayne was almost completely defeated by Lu Wenbin alone, with three goals and two assists from a 17-year-old kid. This is unbelievable and difficult to refute.
Such performance made many home fans not feel like cursing, even though they were Lu Wenbin's opponents and Lu Wenbin was repeatedly provoking them.
Lu Wenbin's performance of three goals and two assists, as well as the final move of pressing down with both hands, made the entire Wayne Stadium almost completely silent.
The players and fans of the Wayne team were quiet, but Hoffenheim's players, coaches, substitutes, and the young Chinese reporters who supported Lu Wenbin could not calm down.
All the players on the field rushed towards Lu Wenbin to celebrate, including the goalkeeper in the backcourt.
The coaches and substitutes on the sidelines also rushed out of the bench, shouting and celebrating.
Ralph even hugged assistant coach Matthews and shouted in celebration:
"It's amazing. Lu Wenbin is only 17 years old. He scored a hat trick and assisted twice in his first start in the German 2nd Division. It's exactly the same as his performance in the youth team. Matthews, I'm sure that Lu is really a genius. We have found a treasure!"
Matthews also laughed and said, "Yes, Ralph! I am now full of confidence in the second half of the season. I think we have a chance to get a promotion spot."
Ralph shook his head and said, "It's not a chance, it's a certainty! The team has already been integrated, and with Lu's accurate finishing ability, we will definitely be in the top three in the second half of the season and be promoted to the Bundesliga."
Matthews nodded vigorously, full of confidence!
In the press box, several young Chinese reporters were celebrating as if it were Chinese New Year, forming a sharp contrast with the quiet stands around them.
But in the minds of the two older reporters, Lu Wenbin's gesture of pressing his hands down and signaling the whole audience to be quiet after scoring the goal was another provocative move to the fans.
Less than two minutes after Lu Wenbin scored the goal, the referee saw the huge score difference and that Wayne team had no energy to attack, so he blew the whistle to end the game in the 90th minute.
In the 18th round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga season, Hoffenheim defeated Werder Bremen 5-0 away from home, achieving their first big league victory after the winter break.
The key figure in directing this big victory was obviously the 17-year-old Chinese player Lu Wenbin, who scored a hat trick and assisted twice.
After the game, Ralf Rangnick took Lu Wenbin to the post-match press conference.
Because Ralph knew that the person that reporters were most concerned about in this game must be Lu Wenbin.
At the post-match press conference, Wayne's coach admitted that they were defeated by Lu Wenbin alone.
Then, the reporters also congratulated and expressed their surprise on Lu Wenbin's outstanding performance in his first start and first league participation, and asked Lu Wenbin active questions, such as why he could perform so well.
Of course, Lu Wenbin couldn't say that he had a system to help him. He just said that he had never received professional training before. After coming to Germany and receiving professional guidance, he made great progress and achieved such an outstanding performance.
This is very much to the liking of the Germans. It seems that Lu Wenbin's outstanding performance is not only due to his own talent, but also to the German football professional training system.
Therefore, when everyone asked Lu Wenbin why he provoked the home fans after scoring goals again and again, there was no such strong sense of tension.
Lu Wenbin just said that his actions were just normal celebrations, and the German reporters did not pursue it too much.
Because these actions are common in Europe, there is no need to pursue them. The last move of pressing his hands down to signal the audience to be quiet was also interpreted by some reporters as full of personality, unique, and domineering.
Those young Chinese reporters were naturally very happy and congratulated Lu Wenbin. They also interviewed him about his experience from China to Europe and from the U19 youth team to the first team. They felt very proud of Lu Wenbin's success.
In their view, a striker who can score three goals and provide two assists in a game in the German Second Division is definitely a rare talent in Chinese football.
Such a shooter would have no problem playing as a main player for the national team, let alone the U23 National Olympic Team.
Therefore, when someone asked if he would be called up by the National Olympic Team to play in the Beijing Olympics, Lu Wenbin naturally replied that if the national team called him, he would definitely respond actively.
Lu Wenbin is still able to distinguish clearly between such major issues of right and wrong.
However, two silent middle-aged reporters clearly did not think so.
They have already defined Lu Wenbin in their minds and decided how to report on him.
