After Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick and helped Hoffenheim lead Werder Bremen 4-1, the victory was truly secured. It was absolutely impossible for Werder Bremen to turn things around.
With a gap of 3 goals and only a few minutes left, no one could do anything, even the Werder Bremen players themselves gave up.
After only two minutes of stoppage time, seeing that neither side had any desire to continue the game, the referee simply blew the whistle to end the game.
The commentators suddenly shouted:
"The referee blew the whistle to end the game. Hoffenheim defeated Werder Bremen 4-1 in the German Cup final and won the 2008/2009 German Football Association Cup."
"The game is over, Hoffenheim won the German Cup final!"
"Trple Crown, Hoffenheim has become a treble winning team!"
"Combined with the previous Bundesliga and UEFA Cup titles, Hoffenheim completed the unprecedented miracle of a newly promoted team winning three championships in the first season after being promoted to the Bundesliga."
"Not only is it unprecedented, it will probably be unprecedented in the future! It is considered a miracle for a newly promoted team to win one championship, let alone three! I am sure that no newly promoted team will be able to pull off a miracle similar to Hoffenheim in the future!"
On the field, the Hoffenheim coach, substitute players and others on the sidelines rushed into the field in ecstasy and celebrated with the players on the field.
The players of Werder Bremen, who failed to win any of the four major titles this season, were all dejected and listless.
The only gain is probably that they can still participate in the Europa League next season as the runner-up of the German Cup.
In the stands, outside the stadium, across the country and around the world, countless Hoffenheim fans were cheering and celebrating at this moment, congratulating Hoffenheim for their treble.
Although the German Cup is not as important as the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup, as the last champion of the treble, everyone is still very excited, and even more excited than when they won the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup!
It’s not for the German Cup championship, but for the treble, for this unprecedented and unparalleled miracle of a newly promoted team winning the treble!
The players celebrated for more than twenty minutes before returning to the locker room to change into championship commemorative jerseys, which had the words "Triple Crown" printed on them!
So domineering!
The players of Werder Bremen received the runner-up medals first, and then Hoffenheim went on stage to receive the award.
The person who presented the award this time was not Beckenbauer, but the real German Football Association Chairman Zwanziger.
After all, the name of this competition is the German Football Association Cup. Beckenbauer was invited to present the award last season only because one of the participating teams was Bayern Munich, and everyone thought Bayern would win the championship.
That was just a special case. This year's award presenter was normal. The award was presented by the then President of the German Football Association, which was justified.
After the German Cup championship medals were awarded, Zwanziger also presented Lu Wenbin with a small steel cannon, which was the Golden Boot Award trophy representing the Bundesliga's top scorer.
With his performance of 47 goals in 28 appearances in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga season, Lu Wenbin undoubtedly won the Bundesliga Golden Boot this season!
Not only that, he is also the European Golden Boot winner this season. However, the European Golden Boot award is usually given in October or November in the second half of the year, so it is still early.
The Bundesliga Golden Boot award is usually given after the last round of league games. However, in the last round of the Bundesliga match between Hoffenheim and Schalke 04, Lu Wenbin was given a day off and was not even included in the roster.
Therefore, the Bundesliga Golden Boot Award, which was supposed to be awarded after the last round of games, was not awarded to Lu Wenbin because there was no one to receive it. It was left until now to be awarded to Lu Wenbin, which can be considered a double blessing for Lu Wenbin!
After receiving the medals and the German Cup, captain Salihovic took over the German Cup trophy from Zwanziger.
With "We Are the Champions" singing in the background, Salihovic held the trophy high above his head. Blue and white confetti of the same color as Hoffenheim's team logo were sprayed around the podium. Hoffenheim won the last championship of the season and completed the miracle of the newly promoted team winning three championships.
While Salihovic was receiving the trophy, Lu Wenbin also received a reminder to complete the two system tasks "Task 13: Defending the German Cup" and "Task 15: Triple Crown", and received a total of 50,000 experience points and 25 skill points as rewards.
Including the 3 goals scored in this game for 6,000 points and the win for 4,000 points, totaling 10,000 experience points, Lu Wenbin's experience points rose to level 16, 1.357 million/2 million, and the balance of skill points reached 42. He felt like a rich man.
With so many skill points, not only speed and physique can be maxed out, but also many other attributes can be added. Next season, Lu Wenbin will be able to astound all the media and fans in the world of football even more!
In addition to generous skill point rewards, Lu Wenbin also unlocked a hidden skill called "Judgment" after completing the Triple Crown mission.
Lu Wenbin opened the system and took a look. His initial judgment value was 15, which looked very good. It was the highest initial value among all his football-related attributes.
This is probably the reason why Lu Wenbin scored more goals and made fewer mistakes on the court, because his judgment of the court is good and can be maxed out by adding 5 points.
However, like "Injury Tendency", it takes 5 skill points to add one point, which is a bit expensive.
Of course, regardless of all this now, Lu Wenbin should first celebrate the championship and the triple crown with his teammates.
…
That night, media all over the world reported Hoffenheim's newly promoted treble miracle just like they reported Barcelona's previous treble!
"Golden Bundesliga newly promoted Hoffenheim defeated Werder Bremen 4-1, won the German Cup, and completed the miracle of a newly promoted team winning three championships!"
"German country club Hoffenheim completed the miracle of the newly promoted team winning the triple crown, becoming the unique Hoffenheim miracle in the world football!"
"Hoffenheim won the treble and became famous all over the world! "
"Lu scored a hat trick in the final again and led Hoffenheim to complete the miracle of the newly promoted team winning the triple crown!"
"In the 2008/2009 season, Lu made 49 appearances and scored 82 goals, shocking the football world!"
Hoffenheim's small treble and Lu Wenbin's number of goals have become heated discussions among global media and fans.
In the hearts of some fans, Hoffenheim's small treble, a country club, is more shocking than Barcelona's big treble.
It seemed natural for the giants Barcelona to win the treble, while for Hoffenheim it was as incredible as a poor boy who suddenly appeared and married a princess.
As for Lu Wenbin's performance of scoring 82 goals in a season, he was worshipped by fans!
In modern football where the technical and tactical levels are getting higher and higher, a player who scores 30 goals in a season can be called a prolific scorer. It is shocking that Lu Wenbin can actually score 82 goals in a season!
