A day later, on November 29, at 10 o'clock in the morning on the day of the match, Kate drove a white BMW sedan to a hotel near the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Mannheim.
Lu Wenbin picked up Kate right at the door of this hotel.
When Lu Wenbin saw Kate getting out of a high-end BMW that didn't look cheap, his eyes lit up.
Kate has become even more beautiful after not seeing her for a few months.
Of course, Kate's car also confirmed Lu Wenbin's guess that Kate's family conditions were not bad.
Kate had the same feeling when she saw Lu Wenbin.
After the two hugged, Kate gestured to Lu Wenbin's height and said, "Lu, you've become taller, stronger, and more handsome!"
Lu Wenbin also praised: "Kate, you are more beautiful too!"
Kate then handed the key to the parking attendant and entered the hotel with Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin first had lunch with Kate, then took Kate to the room he had booked for her and gave her the room card and game tickets.
Kate is going to take a nap before going to the game in the afternoon.
As for Lu Wenbin, he naturally couldn't accompany Kate anymore. He had to return to the team to prepare for the game.
At 3:00 p.m., at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, during the pre-match warm-up, Lu Wenbin, who had been paying attention to the stands, saw Kate appear where the players' families were and waved to him.
Lu Wenbin also happily waved and greeted Kate, and then started warming up with even greater enthusiasm.
The teammates also saw Kate and couldn't help but sigh that Lu Wenbin had good taste. Kate really looked beautiful and had an intellectual beauty that was rare.
Then everyone became more determined to help Lu Wenbin express his love.
Kate, who was watching the game for the first time, found her seat, greeted Lu Wenbin, and then looked at the excited fans around her, feeling quite novel.
At the same time, Kate also saw many banners, spray paintings, etc. with Lu Wenbin's name on them, proving how popular Lu Wenbin is in this stadium.
"Lu's achievements in football are truly extraordinary. He has become a big star with countless fans!" Kate thought to herself.
Then, several female fans around began to greet Kate with a smile, and Kate also started chatting with them actively.
After the conversation, she found out that this area was where the players' families or girlfriends sat, which made Kate feel a little embarrassed.
Everyone thought she was Lu Wenbin's girlfriend. Although she explained it, no one was moved, so she stopped talking.
After several months of communication and understanding, Kate really felt that Lu Wenbin was suitable in all aspects and was a good match.
She could also see that Lu Wenbin was interested in her, but in this kind of thing it still requires the boy to take the initiative, so she planned to see how Lu Wenbin would react first.
Just inviting yourself to watch the game and sitting in the seats in the players' family area in the stands does not mean that the two of you automatically enter a romantic relationship.
As time went by, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium gradually filled up, but there were still many people in the square outside who were unable to enter the stadium.
As Hoffenheim's performance gets better and better, more and more fans from other places are becoming Hoffenheim supporters.
These fans were very shocked and inspired by the speed at which Hoffenheim rose from a country club, so they liked it very much.
This game not only attracted tens of thousands of local fans in Sinsheim, but also countless fans from surrounding cities who came to witness Hoffenheim lock in the half-time championship in advance.
However, this game was too important and there were too many people coming, so many fans were destined to be kept outside the stadium and not allowed to enter.
At 15:30 on the afternoon of November 29, with the referee's whistle, the 15th round of the 2008/2009 Bundesliga season Hoffenheim's home game against Bielefeld officially began.
This game is important to Hoffenheim, but it has nothing to do with Bielefeld. They just want to get more points and stay away from the relegation zone.
Bielefeld is currently ranked 14th in the Bundesliga, only 2 points away from the relegation zone.
Therefore, Hoffenheim encountered a more extreme defensive counterattack from the opponent in this game.
Bielefeld lined up in an extreme defensive formation of 541. Not only were there three central defenders in the penalty area, there was also a defensive midfielder outside the penalty area, and there was also a defensive midfielder No. 5 Kauf who was dedicated to closely guarding Lu Wenbin.
Wherever Lu Wenbin goes, Kauf follows, just like Hamburg's Hasebe Makoto.
For a team fighting for relegation, even 1 point is crucial.
Facing Hoffenheim, the first in the Bundesliga, Bielefeld did not hold out much hope of winning, but instead set its goal on a draw from the very beginning.
As long as we can draw with Hoffenheim at the Mercedes-Benz Arena and get one point, it will be a huge victory.
Therefore, Hoffenheim encountered considerable difficulties from the beginning of the game.
Not only Lu Wenbin was closely guarded, but also Eduardo, Salihovic, Ibisevic, Obasi who was rotated in, and others had to face the opponent's heavy defense.
There are people everywhere within 30 meters of the goal and the space is small, so dribbling skills can no longer solve the problem.
It's simply impossible to pass.
In the 4th minute, Eduardo used a beautiful bicycle kick to knock down the opponent's midfielder, but was immediately snatched away by the opponent's two central defenders and lost the ball.
In the 7th minute, Lu Wenbin ran into a fleeting gap in the penalty area, and Salihovic, who had the ball, saw it and passed the ball to him.
But the opponent's defender Shuler fell to the ground in time and tackled the ball, knocking it away, and Lu Wenbin didn't even catch the ball.
Facing Bielefeld, who almost used a bus defense, Lu Wenbin's 19/19 off-ball running was still able to occasionally create a gap.
But his teammates were unable to make timely assists and they simply couldn't see the fleeting open opportunities.
After all, Eduardo and others are not the world-famous master offensive organizers, and their ability to find loopholes and make wonderful passes and assists cannot be compared with a genius like Ronaldinho.
Within 10 minutes, although his teammates tried their best to create opportunities for Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin only got one chance to shoot from the penalty area.
As a result, he failed to penetrate the heavily restricted area and was blocked by the opponent's defense and went out of the baseline.
Seeing this situation, Lu Wenbin began to retreat from the restricted area and increased his running range.
Anyway, he has no problem with his physical fitness now, and his shooting power outside the penalty area is also no problem.
Finally, in the 18th minute, Lu Wenbin broke away from Kauff's close defense, received Ibrahimovic's header about 25 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area, and shot the ball.
The ball passed through the penalty area like a cannonball. The speed of the ball was so fast that the opponent's defender couldn't touch the ball even when he wanted to clear it.
Then the ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Elhoff tried his best but failed to touch the ball and could only watch the ball go into the goal in front of him.
In the 18th minute, Lu Wenbin scored a long-range goal outside the penalty area.
Grod, the live commentator of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, yelled in the broadcasting room: "Toooooooooooooooooooor..."
"Hoffenheim scored the first goal, the goal was scored by number 9..."
Grod paused, and the more than 20,000 home fans in the stands immediately shouted in unison: "Lu..."
The huge sound made Kate's eardrums tremble.
However, Kate was also greatly shocked by the sound of all the fans shouting Lu Wenbin's name in unison.
Kate also has a more intuitive understanding of Lu Wenbin's achievements and influence on the football field, and she appreciates and is more satisfied with Lu Wenbin.
