In the match against Leverkusen, Lu Wenbin received the same experience rewards as in the second round of the league, namely 5,000 points for one assist + 20,000 points for two goals + 20,000 points for the team's win, for a total of 45,000 experience rewards.
Lu Wenbin's level experience increased to level 13 108212/200,000.
As for the media, after this game, everyone finally took Hoffenheim seriously.
There are not many teams that can escape unscathed after a fierce offensive battle with Leverkusen at the BayArena, and it is even more commendable for a newly promoted team playing in the Bundesliga for the first time.
Therefore, there are no more comments in the media saying that Hoffenheim's schedule is favorable. Everyone has affirmed Hoffenheim's achievements and has more confidence in Hoffenheim representing Germany in the UEFA Cup.
"Newly promoted Hoffenheim beat Leverkusen 4-3 away to achieve three consecutive wins at the start of the Bundesliga!"
"With the UEFA Cup approaching, Hoffenheim is at the top of the Bundesliga standings after three consecutive wins and is in great form!"
"Lu Wenbin was named the best player of the match with two shots and one assist. His Bundesliga goal tally has risen to 7, making him the top scorer in the standings!"
The next day, after the last two games of the third round, Hoffenheim naturally continued to dominate the top of the standings with 9 points after three wins, followed by Schalke 04, Hamburg, Dortmund and others with 7 points.
After a day off on August 31, the team continued training on September 1 to prepare for the next league game.
As a result, Obasi was injured on the first day of training.
Probably because he had just participated in the Beijing Olympics and played all the way to the finals, and then rushed to report to the team without any rest, so he was a little tired.
In addition, Demba Ba's goal in the last round of the league and the fact that he didn't have a chance to play as a substitute for even one minute made Obasi a little anxious. He moved too vigorously during training and strained a muscle, and finally needed to rest for about half a month.
As a result, Obasi will not only miss the next round of the Bundesliga against Stuttgart, but also the next UEFA Cup opener against Serie A Udinese.
You know, that was Hoffenheim’s first European game.
When being helped away by the team doctor, Obasi lowered his head and looked depressed.
Head coach Ralph also had a very grim look on his face, and he didn't even look at Obasi who was leaving the field not far from him.
Whether or not he sends Obasi into the game depends on his tactical needs.
But Obasi's own injury left him without a trump card and a strong substitute, which made him a little angry.
In the following training, everyone was more careful and no accidents happened. Then the team faced Stuttgart at home in the fourth round of the Bundesliga.
This game is of great significance to the team's No. 2 guard Andres Baker.
Because he was still a player of Stuttgart last season, this game will be his first time as a Hoffenheim player to meet his old club Stuttgart.
Moreover, Beck has completely secured his position as Hoffenheim's right-back main player through friendly matches and previous games, and he will almost certainly start in this game.
In fact, Beck's transfer from Stuttgart to Hoffenheim caused quite a stir.
Baker was born in Siberia, Russia, with the strong genes and blood of a fighting nation.
Later, he immigrated to Germany with his parents. In 2000, at the age of 13, he joined the Stuttgart youth training camp. He grew up quickly and entered the first team and started playing in the Bundesliga at the age of 18. It can be said that Stuttgart cultivated and made him.
As a result, after winning the Bundesliga championship with the team in the 2006/2007 season and becoming famous, he was poached by Hoffenheim with a higher annual salary in the summer of 2008.
If we were to say who Stuttgart players and fans hated the most in this game, it would definitely be Beck!
They felt that Baker was a traitor who rebelled for money.
In fact, it’s not Beck’s fault, because the decision to transfer to Hoffenheim was made by his agent father.
Moreover, Hoffenheim is indeed wealthy and offered an annual salary three times that of Stuttgart.
This is how professional football is. In addition to honors, players are more concerned about actual income.
For non-star guard players like Baker, commercial endorsements are almost zero and they can basically only get the team's salary.
When the salary increases to a certain level, even newly promoted teams can buy good players.
So, Baker agreed with his father's decision and transferred to Hoffenheim, which had just won the double championship and would play in the UEFA Cup next season.
As for Stuttgart, they have to rely on participating in the Intertoto Cup to qualify for the UEFA Cup.
Although Stuttgart finally broke through the Toto Cup and qualified for the UEFA Cup, who knows what will happen in the summer
Obviously, Hoffenheim is more secure in qualifying for the European Cup thanks to last season's German Cup title.
It's only natural that Beck is hated by Stuttgart fans.
At 14:30 on September 13, after the start of the fourth round of the 2008/2009 Bundesliga match between Hoffenheim and Stuttgart at home, thousands of Stuttgart fans who came with the team in the stands held up banners with the word "traitor" and cursed Beck.
For a while at the beginning, Baker was indeed affected a little.
Because he saw some die-hard fans and old faces of Stuttgart, and these fans used to support him, the new defensive star trained in Stuttgart's local youth training camp.
As a result, everyone in the stands was cursing at him, causing some psychological fluctuations for the 21-year-old Baker.
Fortunately, within ten minutes of the start of the game, Gustavo, Komper, Nilsson and others tried their best to fill in for Beck, preventing Stuttgart from breaking through and scoring a goal from Beck's side.
Ten minutes later, Baker gradually returned to normal and began to fight back with high morale.
He was not born and raised in Stuttgart, so why should he feel ashamed for leaving Stuttgart
The genes of the polar bear fighting nation are not in vain!
Anyway, he has thought it through clearly. His transfer to Hoffenheim left Stuttgart with a large transfer fee, and his parent club did not suffer any loss.
Now, with the new team winning three games in a row, the stands of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium are packed with more than 20,000 Hoffenheim fans watching their performance.
Today is the decisive battle for me to bid farewell to my old club and completely win the hearts of the fans of my new team.
After Beck recovered, it became difficult for Stuttgart to attack from his side, and Hoffenheim's offensive system returned to normal.
In the 18th minute, Lu Wenbin ran into a gap in Stuttgart's penalty area. Captain Salihovic, who had the ball, passed the ball to Lu Wenbin, causing panic among Stuttgart's defenders and goalkeeper.
As Lu Wenbin scored more and more goals, even if he hadn't taken a shot yet, just standing in the penalty area was enough to cause his opponents to panic.
