After Lu Wenbin left the field, Tottenham finally let go and attacked vigorously, and in the 79th minute, their golden boy Gareth Bale scored a beautiful long-range shot.
However, after all, Woodgate was sent off with a red card, and Tottenham was still one man short, with only 10 players to fight.
When they all pressed forward to attack, the backcourt became even more empty.
In the 86th minute, Demba Ba successfully made an offside move and got a one-on-one chance after receiving a through pass from Eduardo. He lobbed the ball before entering the penalty area.
The ball flew over the head of goalkeeper Gomez, and then slowly fell into the empty goal.
Demba Ba added the icing on the cake, helping Hoffenheim lead Tottenham 4-1.
A few minutes later, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game. Hoffenheim defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at home thanks to Lu Wenbin's hat-trick and Demba Ba's icing on the cake, winning their first victory in the UEFA Cup group stage this season. It was also Hoffenheim's first home victory in European competitions.
After the game, Lu Wenbin received a reward of 120,000 experience points for 3 goals and 80,000 experience points for the team's win, for a total of 200,000 experience points, and his experience points increased to level 14, 547212/500,000.
Then, the system automatically upgraded, and Lu Wenbin's level experience became level 15 47212/1 million, and the experience required to upgrade to the next level was increasing.
However, at this time, Lu Wenbin no longer cared about that!
After the upgrade, Lu Wenbin received an upgrade reward of 10 skill points, and the skill point balance reached 11.
Lu Wenbin immediately used 9 skill points to increase his original 13/13 physique to 16/16, leaving 2 skill points there.
Afterwards, Lu Wenbin felt his body shake, and some changes occurred in his bones and muscles. He seemed to be taller and stronger, and his body was filled with unprecedented strength.
Of course, what follows is the hunger that comes with the urgent need to eat to replenish energy.
Lu Wenbin did not join his teammates in celebrating. He quickly found the bananas prepared by the coaching staff and ate two of them. Only then did he feel much better in his stomach.
Lu Wenbin's behavior naturally attracted the attention of his teammates and fans. Everyone burst into good-natured laughter, thinking that it was quite interesting that Lu Wenbin did not celebrate after winning the game but looked for something to eat first.
Then, Lu Wenbin joined his teammates and fans in celebrating.

A while after the match between Hoffenheim and Tottenham Hotspur ended, the second match of the first round of Group D began.
After 90 minutes of hard fighting, Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb drew 3-2 with Dutch Eredivisie's Nijmegen at home, and the home team Dinamo Zagreb won.
After the first round of matches, Hoffenheim ranked first in Group D with 3 points and 3 goal difference, Dinamo Zagreb ranked second with 3 points and 1 goal difference, Sparta Moscow, which had a bye in the first round, ranked third with 0 points and 0 goal difference, and Nijmegen ranked fourth with 0 points and -1 goal difference.
Tottenham Hotspur of the Premier League ranked last with 0 points and a goal difference of 3, exactly the same as their ranking in the Premier League.
The team's performance finally made the Tottenham Hotspur management unable to bear it anymore. After Juande Ramos led the team back to the UK, the club announced that he was fired.
As for the successor, it is still unknown. It is said that Tottenham management is contacting Harry Redknapp, the old coach who coached Portsmouth last season and is currently unemployed at home.
However, these have little to do with Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin.
Hoffenheim will not meet Tottenham again in the group stage, and Lu Wenbin undoubtedly surpassed the Great Saint Bale with his hat-trick performance.
The battle for the Golden Boy title between the two geniuses ended with Lu Wenbin's victory without any suspense.
After a day off, the team resumed training and prepared for the next Bundesliga match against Hamburg in the 9th round.
Before entering the training base, Lu Wenbin was stopped by several Chinese reporters, who told him that domestic fans had created the nickname "666" for him based on the shouting of "Lu-Lu-Lu" by Hoffenheim fans at the scene, which means "awesome, powerful, and amazing."
In the past two days, new Internet terms such as "666", "6 flipped", "6 to explosion", and "6 to failure" have spread rapidly on the domestic Internet. Many netizens have begun to use them in large quantities when chatting, playing games, replying to posts, or praising someone or something for being awesome.
Naturally, the origin of 666 was also found in Baidu Encyclopedia created by Lu Wenbin’s fans. Many netizens who had never cared about football before also learned that China has an athlete like Lu Wenbin who is so good at playing football and studying abroad in Europe.
Lu Wenbin was quite surprised by the news brought by his fellow journalists. He did not expect that his surname could be used by netizens to create new words.
After listening to the reporters explain the meaning of 666 and the trend it caused on the domestic Internet, Lu Wenbin also felt somewhat happy.
This is a nickname that can help Lu Wenbin expand his influence beyond the football circle, just like Beckham's "Heartthrob" and Ronaldo's "Alien". Even many people who never watch football know these famous nicknames and the players they represent.
Of course, Lu Wenbin himself must continue to perform better to make 666 more worthy of its name.
After chatting with fellow journalists for a while, Lu Wenbin entered the training base to participate in training.
As a result, although he didn't notice it when he was practicing passing and shooting, when he started to compete in groups, the changes in Lu Wenbin's physical fitness, jumping ability, and confrontation finally attracted the attention of his coach and teammates.
Gustavo, the defensive midfielder who was responsible for marking Lu Wenbin in the group stage, was the first to feel something was wrong.
"Lu, did you take stimulants today? How can you run, jump and resist so well?" Gustavo asked.
Lu Wenbin argued, "Don't you know I'm only 18 and still growing? During the physical examination, the doctor said I still have one or two years of physical growth to go! Besides, no matter how strong I am, I still can't beat you!"
Gustavo shook his head and said, "That's not right. I could easily squeeze you out before, but today it's much harder. Sometimes I can't even squeeze you out. This change is too big!"
Lu Wenbin said firmly: "That's your illusion. It's just that I didn't want to fight with you before! Now I've grown stronger, and I'm willing to fight with you, so you have the illusion that I've become very strong!"
Gustavo touched his hair and said unconfidently: "Is it really my illusion?"
