When Hoffenheim counterattacked, Salihovic passed the ball to a large open space in the frontcourt and Lu Wenbin successfully made an offside, and Caster had already stood up from the commentary stand.
Not only him, but some other TV commentators who were broadcasting the game also stood up from the commentary seats.
Because everyone had a premonition that a great moment might be coming.
Then, when Lu Wenbin received the ball, withstood the collision of Pfezer and Mavraj and shot the ball through the two gates of the Bochum goalkeeper and the goal, scoring a goal, the entire commentary booth exploded.
All the commentators, including Custer, shouted in their respective languages.
After a long “Toooooooooooooor”, Custer frantically explained: “41 goals, 41 goals! Lu scored a hat trick and scored his 41st Bundesliga goal this season, breaking the Bundesliga single-season record of 40 goals set by bomber Gerd Muller in the 1971/1972 season. This Bundesliga record that has been sealed for more than 30 years was finally broken by our Hoffenheim super shooter Lu today. Lu Wenbin has become the new Bundesliga single-season scorer king!”
Other commentators also excitedly explained:
"Incredible, Lu, who is only 18 years old, broke Gerd Muller's single-season Bundesliga record of 40 goals in his first Bundesliga season!"
"Unparalleled performance, Lu is the best striker in the world today!"
"There is no doubt that Lu is a super genius from the mysterious East!"
"He has played 24 times in the Bundesliga and scored 41 goals, averaging 1.7 goals per game. Lu's goal efficiency is really shocking!"
Chinese fans who were watching the live broadcast on their computers left a lot of “666” in the comment section to express their admiration and respect for Lu Wenbin.
In addition to the Bundesliga record, Lu Wenbin has scored 66 goals for Hoffenheim this season, just one away from Gerd Muller's record of 67 goals for an individual club in a single season in the top five leagues.
The fans at the scene all stood up and expressed their tribute to Lu Wenbin with long applause and cheers.
This time, the big screen removed the photo of Gerd Muller and only showed the image of Lu Wenbin alone, with a big "New record: 41 goals" written on it, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Hoffenheim's teammates also celebrated warmly with Lu Wenbin who completed a hat trick.
After being double-marked by opponents in the second half of the season, Lu Wenbin rarely completed a hat trick! In addition to breaking the record, Lu Wenbin himself was also very happy!
Therefore, Lu Wenbin and his teammates celebrated again for almost a minute before the Bochum team resumed the game.
However, no matter how much they protested, there was too little time left for Bochum.
Just a few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Hoffenheim defeated the visiting Bochum 3-2 at home with only 9 players, despite having most of their main players rotated, and won all three points.
In this game, Lu Wenbin scored a hat trick, broke Gerd Muller's single-season Bundesliga goal record, and defeated Bochum alone. Naturally, he became the focus of reports around the world after the game.
"Gerd Muller's 37-year record was broken, Lu Wenbin's 41 goals set a new record for the highest number of goals scored in a single season in the Bundesliga!"
"European Golden Boy Award winner Lu Wenbin continues to perform well, breaking Gerd Muller's record of 40 Bundesliga goals in a single season with 41 goals!"
"Lu Wenbin surpassed the legendary star Gerd Muller with 41 goals and became the new Bundesliga single-season top scorer! "
Fans around the world who follow the Bundesliga also commented and expressed their shock. Many fans who had not previously paid attention to the Bundesliga and Lu Wenbin news were even more confused.
"Oh my god, this Lu Wenbin is so awesome, where did he come from? And what kind of team is Hoffenheim? How come they are ranked first in the Bundesliga?"
“The village upstairs has internet access, but even Huocun Miracle and Lu Wenbin don’t know about it, haha!”
"Lu Wenbin is the winner of the European Golden Boy Award last year. He also won the German Cup last year. He is also the Golden Boot winner and the best player in both the Bundesliga 2 and the German Cup!"
"That's awesome! Let me check the information. This is even more awesome than the alien Ronaldo who is the same age!"
"At the same time as an 18-year-old, Lu Wenbin beats most of the superstars. Perhaps only Pele, who won the World Cup at the age of 18, is more awesome than Lu Wenbin!"
"Pele won the collective honor. Lu Wenbin may never get it in his lifetime with the strength of the Chinese team! But from the perspective of individual performance, I think the 18-year-old Pele is not as good as Lu Wenbin!"
"That means a new king of football will be born!"
"It's too early to say that. The football world has produced countless geniuses who are no less talented than Lu Wenbin, but how many of them have finally reached the top? Moreover, with the strength of the Chinese national team, if Lu Wenbin can't win the World Cup, how can he become the king of football?"
The comments of foreign fans resonated with domestic fans, and everyone no longer had any expectations for the Chinese national football team.
In the minds of Chinese fans, even God cannot stop the Chinese team from winning the World Cup.
However, although there are many fans who are disappointed with their team and think that Lu Wenbin should just stay in Europe and not come back, there are still many fans who truly hope that the Chinese national football team will achieve good results and hope that Lu Wenbin will join the national team and lead the team to achieve good results.
Therefore, many fans called on the national team to recruit Lu Wenbin online.
At last year's Olympics, the Football Association said that Lu Wenbin had a bad character. This year, Lu Wenbin did not do anything out of line. Moreover, given Lu Wenbin's current level, so what if he has some flaws in his personal behavior
Isn't strength what matters on the football field
In addition to netizens, there are naturally also media that have made formal comments and reports, and they also hope that the Chinese national football team will recruit Lu Wenbin into the team.
However, the leaders of the Football Association, who were already caught in the vortex of the crackdown on gangs and counterfeiting, were too busy to take care of Lu Wenbin.
If Lu Wenbin was recruited, wouldn't it prove that their decision last year was wrong, and be a slap in the face
Anyway, the national team had already been eliminated from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa Asian qualifiers. There had been no official matches recently, only some insignificant friendly matches, which was a good excuse.
Therefore, the Football Association finally made an official statement, saying that the national team did not have any official matches in the near future, so it would not delay Lu Wenbin's matches in Europe, and that they would consider recruiting Lu Wenbin when there were important matches in the future.
Although the Football Association's statement disappointed many fans who hoped to see Lu Wenbin join the national team, more fans praised the national football team for doing a rare good thing.
These fans wish that the Chinese national football team would never recruit Lu Wenbin!
No matter what the fans and media think, Chinese fans probably won’t be able to see Lu Wenbin fight for the country in the short term.
