Seven-time Champion

Chapter 116: Offensive War

In addition to Fu Qingqing, Lu Wenbin's parents were also angry after seeing the news.

Lu Chongxin was afraid that his son's mentality would be affected, so he called Lu Wenbin to comfort him.

The meaning is the same as Fu Qingqing's. Since his son is not recruited by the national football team, his son will have peace and quiet and can concentrate on playing club games without worrying about losing his starting position due to frequent travel between China and Europe to participate in national team training and games.

After the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the Chinese national football team's performance went downhill. In 2004, they lost the Asian Cup on home soil. In the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, they didn't even make it to the top ten in the final stage of the Asian zone, and domestic fans were cursing at them.

Sometimes fans will insult someone directly by saying: "Your whole family is from the national football team!"

It seems more embarrassing than just swearing directly.

Joining the national team now is not an honor, but more often than not you will be scolded.

Therefore, if you don’t add it, then don’t add it, it’s no big deal.

Lu Wenbin told his parents that he was fine and asked them not to worry, as he would not give up on himself just because the national team closed the door to him.

Even without national team achievements, he can still make a name for himself in Europe.

Moreover, for those club coaches, without the interference of national team training and the FIFA virus, I am afraid Lu Wenbin will be more popular among the head coaches in the club.

From this perspective, the Chinese Football Association’s statement that it will never recruit Lu Wenbin may not be a bad thing for Lu Wenbin.

Hearing that Lu Wenbin was fine, Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui were relieved.

In the following days, Lu Wenbin concentrated on training to maintain his condition while starting to learn English with Fu Qingqing.

Lu Wenbin has no problem communicating in German for daily purposes. As time goes by and he spends more time living and playing football in Germany, his German will only become more and more proficient, and there is no need for him to continue studying it specifically.

Thinking of his ambition to conquer Europe in the future, Lu Wenbin decided to learn internationally accepted English to facilitate communication with coaches and teammates in his new club.

Fu Qingqing naturally liked Lu Wenbin's attitude of taking the initiative to learn English and was happy to teach him.

Because German and English belong to the same language family, their alphabets and grammars are very similar. After learning German, Lu Wenbin learned English much faster. Coupled with his own focused attitude, Lu Wenbin's English level improved rapidly.

I guess by the time Fu Qingqing leaves, he will be able to communicate with people in English.

At the same time, during this period, several young German professional agents came to him and asked to be Lu Wenbin's agents.

It was really because Lu Wenbin's performance in his first game in the German Second Division, where he scored a hat trick and assisted twice, was so dazzling that it could not help but attract these agents.

However, the first agents who came were not well-known. After Lu Wenbin asked his teammates, he declined all of them.

He's not in a hurry anyway.

Lu Wenbin decided to wait until he scored more goals and performed better, and attracted a bigger, more professional, more capable and more well-connected big-name agent to come to him before negotiating a contract.

Soon, it was February 10th and the 19th round of the league was about to begin.

This game is played at Hoffenheim's home ground, and their opponent is Borussia Mönchengladbach, who is currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings this season and is the favorite for promotion to the Bundesliga.

Through the practice of the last game, Lu Wenbin passed the test of the coaching staff in terms of technical strength, psychological quality and on-the-spot performance.

There is more than a week between the 18th and 19th rounds of the league, so there is no situation of being too tight on time or lacking physical strength.

Therefore, in the 19th round of the league, Lu Wenbin got the chance to start again without any surprise.

His partners are Ibisevic and Obasi.

Demba Ba's calf muscle strain has recovered, but he was only included in the roster as a substitute and failed to make the starting lineup.

If he wants to get the starting position again, he can only wait until Lu Wenbin or Obasi makes a mistake or runs out of energy.

At 2:00 p.m. on February 10, 2008, with the referee's whistle, the 19th round of the 2007/2008 German Second Division match between Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach at home officially began.

As the top team, Monchengladbach will not be afraid of Hoffenheim. Even in an away game with a full stand, they will press forward and attack.

Hoffenheim, a team that has been playing offensive football since the beginning of this season and defeated Wiesbaden 5-0 away from home in the last round, naturally also launched a massive attack.

As a result of both sides playing offensive football and engaging in fierce offensive battles, the game was quite open and entertaining from the very beginning, which was a feast for the eyes of the fans in the stands.

With an urgent desire for upgrades, skill points and special skills, Lu Wenbin scored the first goal for Hoffenheim in the 7th minute of the first half, helping the team take a 1-0 lead.

Suddenly, the entire Hope Stadium was boiling. Thousands of people shouted Lu Wenbin's name louder than in the German Cup quarter-final, applauding and screaming for him.

Lu Wenbin performed brilliantly in the last away game. Hoffenheim fans could only see Lu Wenbin's performance on TV and in post-match reports, which made them feel unsatisfied.

And now, in their home court, after Lu Wenbin scored again, they were finally able to worship his performance by shouting his name in unison.

However, due to Lu Wenbin's amazing performance in the last round of the league and this goal, he naturally received special attention from his opponents.

The defensive and overall defensive support capabilities of the German second division teams' defenders are naturally much higher than those of the domestic high school league and the German U19 league.

Therefore, in the next ten minutes, Lu Wenbin only had one chance to shoot, but it was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Hoffenheim failed to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the score. Instead, Borussia Mönchengladbach equalized the score in the 22nd minute, making the score 1-1.

However, Hoffenheim is not like Lu Wenbin when he played in the domestic high school league. The entire team relied on him alone to attack the city.

After his teammates discovered that Lu Wenbin was being closely watched, they shifted their focus and no longer placed the entirety of the offensive endpoint on Lu Wenbin.

With the cheers of the home fans, Hoffenheim used its overall strength to launch wave after wave of attacks on Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Finally, in the 44th minute, when the first half was about to end, Salihovic took a free kick from the front sideline, and Ibisevic headed the ball into the goal in the penalty area.

Hoffenheim went into halftime with a 2-1 lead over top team Borussia Mönchengladbach.
