After the game resumed, Lu Wenbin, having tasted success, wanted to make another long-distance run in the 12th minute.
But his dribbling skills were indeed poor. When he dribbled the ball again, not only was his dribbling too far, but his direction was also off.
Although he passed Tesla, the ball was intercepted by Cedar who was not far behind Tesla before he could catch up with it.
Seeing this, Lu Wenbin changed his playing style, rushed to the frontcourt and started his point-grabbing style of play, and from time to time he used his speed to break through and cross the ball on the wing.
Lu Wenbin's increasingly diverse playing styles made it increasingly difficult for opponents to defend against him, and his speed also caused exclamations from fans, reporters and commentators.
Before he knew it, Lu Wenbin's speed had reached this world-class level.
In the 25th minute, Lu Wenbin used his speed to break through Trass on the wing, attracted the defense of center back Cedar and a full-back, and then made a good cross from the bottom.
Ibisevic in the middle also took away a central defender, leaving Eduardo who came from the back row unguarded for a short period of time, allowing him to grab the first point of Lu Wenbin's cross.
It's a pity that the rebound ball that Eduardo headed to the ground was saved by Lehmann with a Banks-style save out of the baseline, which made Hoffenheim players and fans sigh, and also made Stuttgart fans give Lehmann a warm applause.
After all, Lu Wenbin's dribbling attribute is not high, and his control of the ball is not good during dribbling. In addition, his passing attribute is even lower, so it is a bit difficult for him to find his teammates when passing from the wing.
Apart from the low cross to Eduardo that almost resulted in a goal, Lu Wenbin didn't make any good passes afterwards.
Stuttgart also gradually figured out Lu Wenbin's strength on the wing. They were no longer afraid of Lu Wenbin's wing breakthroughs and crosses, and they no longer had to swarm around Lu Wenbin on the wing, resulting in missing people in the middle.
Seeing this, Lu Wenbin smiled secretly, and started running towards the middle and the penalty area without the ball, using his off-ball running to find gaps.
In Hoffenheim's tactical system, Lu Wenbin was originally a free man in the frontcourt, not a winger in the 433 formation on the starting list before the game.
When the speed increased to 19/20, Lu Wenbin's ability to run without the ball and find gaps improved again.
Although Stuttgart's defense was very careful in marking, Lu Wenbin still seized the opportunity from time to time.
In the 37th minute, Eduardo and Ibisevic made a two-pass wall combination at the top of the penalty area, and then Eduardo broke into the penalty area and made a shooting motion, which caused the Stuttgart defenders and goalkeeper in the penalty area to be nervous.
Even Trass and Cedar, who were guarding Lu Wenbin, couldn't help but cast their eyes on Eduardo.
Lu Wenbin took this opportunity to suddenly accelerate and change direction, leaving the two men behind and running into the empty space on the right side of the restricted area.
Eduardo cooperated well with the opponent and faked a shot, which attracted most people's attention and then passed the ball to the right.
By the time Trass and Cedar rushed up to defend with changed faces, Lu Wenbin had already kicked the ball directly towards the goal without stopping.
Sedar's defensive tackle didn't even touch the shadow of the ball.
The ball passed in front of Cedar's toes and flew into the goal along the near post.
Although Lehmann made a save, he was too old after all, and was fooled by Eduardo. He was a little slow and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Lu Wenbin scored again with a shot in the penalty area, completing his second goal and raising his annual total goal record to 93 goals.
Countless Hoffenheim fans and Lu Wenbin fans at the scene and in front of the TV roared and screamed excitedly to vent their excitement.
The commentators also sang praises for Lu Wenbin.
93 goals in a season, no one had ever thought of such a record before Lu Wenbin achieved it.
Even Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals was considered an unsurpassed miracle, not to mention that Lu Wenbin not only broke Muller's record, but also raised the record to 90 goals, reaching 93 goals.
Everyone could only respond to Lu Wenbin with admiration, admiration and praise, nothing else to say.
Even the commentator of Stuttgart could only explain in a slightly painful tone: "Even if it was the opponent, even if Lu Wenbin's goal went into the goal of Stuttgart, I can't ignore Lu Wenbin's annual goal record. Scoring 93 goals in a year is simply an unimaginable achievement. It's really no problem to say that Lu Wenbin is the king of shooters."
Lu Wenbin, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He rushed to the sidelines and jumped onto the billboard, looking as if he was overlooking the world, quite domineering.
After the game resumed, Stuttgart's players were hit hard by Lu Wenbin and failed to launch any decent attack.
At the same time, Hoffenheim did not score any more goals. The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-0, and Hoffenheim temporarily took the lead.
After a 15-minute break, Stuttgart's morale recovered somewhat.
After all, they are a relegation team.
Hoffenheim is fighting for honor, but they are fighting for survival and to save their lives.
In the 55th minute, a desperate attack finally brought Stuttgart a goal.
Forward Marica risked being kicked in the face by Nilsson and headed the ball into Hoffenheim's goal from a diving header after his teammate's cross.
If Nilsson hadn't retracted his foot at the last moment, Marica would have been seriously injured and possibly disfigured even if he had scored the goal.
In the end, I was just scratched by Nelson's shoe, nothing serious, so I was lucky.
However, there is only this one ball.
In the following time, the weak Stuttgart never scored a second goal.
Instead, Hoffenheim scored two more goals in the second half.
One was a long shot from outside the penalty area by Lu Wenbin, and the other was a shot from Demba Ba into the net during a melee in the penalty area.
After 90 minutes, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, German commentator Dickenson excitedly said:
"At the end of the game, Hoffenheim beat Stuttgart 4-1 away from home thanks to Lu's hat trick, continuing to sit firmly at the top of the Bundesliga standings and successfully won the title of the 2009/2010 Bundesliga winter break champion."
"Of course, this is not important. The most important thing is that with his hat trick in this game, Lu finally fixed his total number of goals in 2009 at 94 goals."
"Lu Wenbin set a new annual goal record in world football, nine more than the record of 85 goals set by Gerd Muller in 1972. I think there is no objection to saying that Lu Wenbin is the world's top striker and shooter today."
TV commentators from other countries were also excitedly explaining to their respective fans, trying their best to explain to the fans in front of the TV how difficult, how magical and how hard it was to score 94 goals in a year.
Now Lu Wenbin has accomplished it, and there is no doubt that he is the top striker in the world today!
The total number of goals in 2009 was 94. Such records and numbers made everyone fall in love with it and intoxicated by it.
Even though they were defeated by Hoffenheim and their road to relegation became even more difficult, Stuttgart players and fans politely applauded Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin's performance and achievements deserve respect and admiration from everyone, even his opponents.
