After returning to Germany, Lu Wenbin's teammates clamored for him to treat them.
The performance of scoring six goals in a single game is really enviable.
This is not a friendly match, not a warm-up match, not a teaching match, but a formal Asian Cup qualifier, which counts national team goals and career goals.
Although the opponent was weak, a goal is a goal.
What's more, scoring six goals in one game is enough to make anyone envious.
Lu Wenbin did not refuse. He asked a chef to prepare a dinner at home and invited his coaches, teammates and their families to come over and play.
The team then resumed normal training in preparation for the first game after the winter break.
The opening game of the first half of the season is Hoffenheim vs. Bayern Munich, and the opening game of the second half of the season is also a match between these two teams, with Bayern Munich facing Hoffenheim at the Allianz Arena.
After the 17th round of the league before the winter break, Bayern Munich ranked fourth. The result was not bad, but very bad.
For Bayern Munich, which invested heavily in signing stars such as Robben and Gomez during the summer transfer window before the start of the season, ranking second would be a failure, let alone fourth.
Therefore, when meeting the top-ranked Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich was ready to go, vowing to defeat Hoffenheim, slow down their progress, and increase points for themselves.
At 20:30 on the evening of January 15, 2010, the first Bundesliga game after the winter break, the 18th round of the 2009/2010 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich's home game against Hoffenheim officially began.
After a winter break, players from both sides have recovered their stamina and strength, so all the main players were present in this match.
Bayern wants to beat Hoffenheim to prove that they are still the leader of the Bundesliga, while Hoffenheim wants to build greater confidence in winning the championship and gain a leading advantage by defeating Bayern twice in the season.
If we talk about the changes in the main lineups of both teams compared to the beginning of the season, Bayern's No. 1 goalkeeper Rensing had a poor performance in the first half of the season, which led to Bayern's ranking lagging behind for a time, so No. 22 Hans Butt replaced Rensing as Bayern's main goalkeeper.
But in fact, Hans Butt is not a very stable goalkeeper, at least he is a bit unsuitable for the Bundesliga champions Bayern.
Because he played as a striker, Butt is a good set-piece penalty taker. During his time at Leverkusen, he was even the team's number one penalty taker.
However, the most important thing for a goalkeeper is goalkeeping skills rather than goal-scoring ability.
Because he did not play goalkeeper since he was a child but changed his career midway, Butt always made mistakes like butter hands on the court and his performance was not very stable.
But Bayern has no choice. They have not yet found a new generation of goalkeeper to replace Kahn. Rensing has performed poorly this season, so they can only use Butt as the main player.
This is also a helpless move.
For Hoffenheim, this is a weakness that can be exploited.
Therefore, before the game, Ralph told the players to shoot more and not hesitate.
With more shots, Butt might make some low-level mistakes, giving Hoffenheim a big gift and increasing the possibility of scoring.
After the start of the game, the two sides launched a fierce offensive battle at the Allianz Arena. Hoffenheim also followed the tactical instructions of the head coach and kept shooting whenever there was an opportunity, no matter how far or near.
However, as Butt is Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper, his goalkeeping ability is still good. Mistakes like butter hands make it impossible for him to qualify in every game, so he can only rely on luck.
At least, in the first 20 minutes of the game, Butt not only did not make any low-level mistakes, but also saved Lu Wenbin's free kick and a long shot within the goal frame.
In addition, Ibisevic had another shot, which was also caught directly in Butt's arms. It can be said that his performance was very outstanding.
Not only that, while Butt was guarding the goal, Bayern Munich's offensive line also scored the first goal.
Robben, nicknamed Peter Pan, used his signature wing breakthrough and cut inside to score in the 14th minute, giving Bayern Munich a 1-0 lead at home.
However, even though the score was behind, Hoffenheim did not hesitate and continued to attack Bayern.
At the very least, Lu Wenbin's goal efficiency should be higher and more stable than Robben and Gomez.
Sure enough, after continuous attacks, Hoffenheim finally scored a goal in the 27th minute, and the goal was scored by Lu Wenbin.
He received a lob pass from Eduardo in the penalty area, then volleyed the ball into the goal despite the impact of Demichelis.
Although the angle was not sharp, the speed was too fast and Butt was unable to save it this time.
After the score was tied, both sides continued to attack each other, and everyone wanted to surpass the opponent in the number of goals, and did not rely on defense.
In the 38th minute, Bayern Munich took the lead again. The goal was scored by Gomez, who was signed by Bayern during the summer transfer period.
Bayern Munich leads Hoffenheim 2-1.
However, before the end of the first half, Ibisevic equalized the score for Hoffenheim with a header from a corner kick.
The two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 2-2.
After a 15-minute break, the offensive battle between the two sides continued in the second half.
Bayern Munich is pinning its hopes on the collective performance of superstars such as Robben, Gomez, Ribery, Schweinsteiger and others, while Hoffenheim is counting on the lone standout Lu Wenbin.
Of course, all opponents know that Hoffenheim’s spearhead is Lu Wenbin.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin was also subject to the closest surveillance by Bayern's defense.
The defensive strength of Bayern Munich is also different from that of the Vietnamese team. It is not easy for Lu Wenbin to score a goal.
However, the continuous attack gave Hoffenheim's other players many shooting opportunities.
Although the shooting accuracy of Ibisevic and others was far inferior to that of Lu Wenbin, with the continuous shooting, the situation that Ralph hoped Butt would make a mistake before the game actually happened.
In the 67th minute, Salihovic's long-range ground ball from outside the penalty area was not at a sharp angle, but Butt did not hold the ball, and the ball hit his chest and bounced out.
Lu Wenbin, who happened to be running in the restricted area, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and ran over, grabbing the first point.
Although he was defended and interfered by Demichelis and Badstuber, Lu Wenbin, who was physically fit, still managed to withstand the impact of the two and took the lead in poking the ball, which rolled into the penalty area and kicked it back into the goal.
Then, Lu Wenbin was pulled into the restricted area by Demichelis.
But the ball kicked by Lu Wenbin rolled past the panicked Butt and into the goal.
Hans Butt was immediately upset because he lost the ball due to his missed catch.
Commentator Dickenson shouted in the commentary booth: "A brace, Lu scored twice again! However, this time it was a big gift to Lu because of Butt's mistake. Butt failed to hold onto Salihovic's shot, giving Lu the opportunity to make up the shot in the penalty area."
