In Hoffenheim, the midfield organizers include Salihovic, Copado, Eduardo and others, the center forward is Ibisevic and substitutes Parjic, Melic and others.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin's positioning is very simple, which is to roam around the center, waiting for an opportunity to shoot and complete the final shot.
In this way, the first thing to upgrade is very clear, which is the shooting attribute.
Without any hesitation, Lu Wenbin spent 6 skill points to upgrade his shooting attribute from 18/18 to the full value of 20/20.
Lu Wenbin finally got his first full-value basic skill.
According to the system settings, 18/18 is already the level of the Golden Boot in the five major leagues, while 19/19 is the level of the European Golden Boot, the Champions League Golden Boot, and the World Cup Golden Boot.
As for 20/20, it basically means shooting wherever you point.
As long as there are no accidents, the penalty kick can reach a 100% hit rate in the blind corner without interference, and no goalkeeper can save it.
Even in mobile warfare, the deviation will not be large.
Moreover, this is a full-level skill under the system cheating, and only Lu Wenbin can achieve it.
In the history of world football, no one has ever been able to achieve 20/20 shooting attributes based on his own talent.
Perhaps, someone’s potential value can reach 20, but their current ability is not enough to reach that level, and they cannot use skill points to maximize their potential value like Lu Wenbin did.
After spending 6 skill points to max out his shooting attribute, Lu Wenbin thought about it and added the remaining 6 skill points to off-ball running.
In the German second division league, his 13/13 dribbling, 13/13 passing, 12/12 physique, 11/11 speed and 11/11 vision are barely enough.
Only running without the ball has become his shortcoming and an obvious flaw.
As Lu Wenbin scored more and more goals and became more famous, he was increasingly valued by his opponents.
With his 8/8 off-ball running ability, the opportunities for him to receive the ball in the penalty area and shoot without interference are becoming fewer and fewer.
Hoffenheim itself does not need Lu Wenbin to organize the midfield, run long distances, etc. for the time being. In addition to his 20/20 shooting attribute, it is obviously a perfect match with off-ball running with higher attributes.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin added all of his remaining 6 skill points to off-ball running, raising his 8/8 off-ball running to 10/10.
After the upgrade and points addition, Lu Wenbin's attributes became:

In addition to the attributes added by Lu Wenbin himself, his height and weight also increased.
After the upgrade and points were added, the abilities Lu Wenbin demonstrated in training became even more terrifying.
Especially when shooting in the penalty area, as long as the defender is not paying attention, Lu Wenbin will receive the ball and shoot, and nine out of ten times he will succeed.
Even if it was a very small-angle shooting opportunity, Lu Wenbin could hit the dead corner, or even hit the post and bounce it in, leaving the goalkeeper helpless.
Even outside the penalty area, although Lu Wenbin's shot was not very powerful due to his physical attributes, the angle was extremely tricky, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to save it.
Moreover, many times the ball could not be caught and could only watch it go into the net from the blind corner.
With such performance and the actual combat in the previous few games, Ralf Rangnick simply determined the strategy of making Lu Wenbin the core of the offense in the team.
In future matches, Lu Wenbin will have unlimited firing rights.
Whether inside or outside the penalty area, other teammates must try their best to create space for Lu Wenbin, and then pass the ball to Lu Wenbin, who will make the final shot.
Soon, it was March 2, the 22nd round of the German 2nd Division, and Hoffenheim traveled to the northwest to play away against Osnabrück.
Because Ralf Rangnick had consumed too much energy in the previous German Cup match against Dortmund, he made a relatively large rotation in this game.
However, Lu Wenbin's starting position remained unchanged.
Lu Wenbin did not disappoint Ralph.
Despite playing away from home and being closely guarded by Osnabrück, Lu Wenbin only had five chances to shoot in the penalty area throughout the game.
However, in just these five shooting opportunities in the penalty area, Lu Wenbin hit the goal four times and scored three goals, helping Hoffenheim to beat Osnabrück 3-0 away.
This ability to convert shooting opportunities into goals is simply astonishing.
Of course, Lu Wenbin also took three free kicks during the game, using the system's special skills in the first and second attempts, but failed to score a goal.
Despite this, his amazing performance of hat tricks in two consecutive games, scoring in seven consecutive games and the fact that he has become Hoffenheim's top scorer with 14 goals this season, have made Lu Wenbin the most popular hero in Hoffenheim.
The German media also reported extensively, and the number of reporters on the sidelines of Hoffenheim's games increased significantly. Lu Wenbin is indeed becoming a rising star in German football through the Bundesliga and the German Cup.
After the 22nd round of the German 2nd Division, Lu Wenbin earned a total of 5,000 experience points for his three goals and the team's win, and his level experience rose to 5,712/50,000.
In the standings, because Cologne, Fürth and Mainz, which were ranked before Hoffenheim before this round, all tied, Hoffenheim surpassed Cologne with 37 points, tied with Fürth and Mainz with 37 points.
In terms of goal difference, Hoffenheim has just one more goal than Fürth.
Therefore, after the 22nd round of the league, Hoffenheim ranked third in the Bundesliga with 37 points and an advantage in goal difference, entering the top three promotion zone.
The only teams ahead of Hoffenheim are Mainz, which has the same 37 points and four more goal difference than Hoffenheim, and Borussia Mönchengladbach, which ranks first with 41 points.
As long as Hoffenheim maintains this ranking, it will take three major steps in two years, from the 3rd Bundesliga to the 2nd Bundesliga, and then to the Bundesliga.
This would be a first for Hoffenheim in history.
In addition, the opponent in the German Cup semi-final is the weak team Jena in the German second division, so the chances of reaching the final are quite high. The other semi-final is between Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg.
If the other semi-final winner advances to the final against Bayern Munich, who are currently at the top of the Bundesliga and will definitely qualify for European competitions or even the Champions League, Hoffenheim can at least qualify for the UEFA Cup group stage next season by being the runner-up in the German Cup.
Such a prospect is really beautiful.
Therefore, that night, boss Hopp paid for a big dinner for the entire team in Osnabrück, and then returned to Hoffenheim the next day.
