Lu Wenbin's two goals helped Hoffenheim reverse the score, and Hoffenheim led Bayern Munich 3-2 at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern naturally didn't want to lose.
Therefore, in the following games Bayern strengthened their attack, and even midfielder Schweinsteiger sometimes left Lu Wenbin behind to participate in the attack.
However, this weakened Bayern's defense on Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin now has several attributes at full value, and his speed has reached 19/20. If you don't concentrate on marking him, it will be very difficult to defend him.
When Bayern Munich attacked fiercely to equalize the score but failed to score, Lu Wenbin scored again in the 79th minute.
This is a speed competition in a counterattack.
Simunić intercepted the ball from Olic and passed it to Gustavo, who passed it to Eduardo. Eduardo made a straight pass without stopping the ball. Lu Wenbin competed with Demichelis in speed in the frontcourt.
Lu Wenbin was slightly faster and got the ball before Demichelis. Then he carried the ball to the penalty area line despite Demichelis's entanglement and scored a lob shot against the attacking goalkeeper Butt.
Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick at the Allianz Arena and led Hoffenheim to a 4-2 lead over Bayern Munich away from home.
The more than 2,000 Hoffenheim fans who traveled with the team to the away game gave a huge cheer.
A two-goal lead does not guarantee victory, but there is not much time left for Bayern Munich.
Moreover, Ralph also started his substitution plan.
Weiss replaced Demba Ba and Sukulini replaced Eduardo, and Hoffenheim's midfield defense was immediately improved to a higher level.
Although the offensive ability has declined a bit, the improvement in defensive strength has made it more difficult for Bayern Munich to score goals.
Bayern has many stars, but none of them has Lu Wenbin's shooting accuracy.
In the last ten minutes, Bayern had four shots, but only one hit the goal frame, and it was soft and weak and was easily confiscated by Ozcan.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Hoffenheim defeated Bayern Munich 4-2 away from home with Lu Wenbin's hat trick and Ibisevic's goal. This was their first good start in the second half of the season after the winter break and also their first tough victory.
In this game, Lu Wenbin received 3 goals worth 30,000 + 20,000 for winning, a total of 50,000 experience points. The experience points increased to level 17, 3.834 million/5 million.
After the game, Lu Wenbin's hat trick won praise from countless media, some even saying that Lu Wenbin conquered the Allianz Arena alone.
Moreover, Lu Wenbin played three games after entering 2010, including two national team games and one league game, and scored a total of 12 goals, which is equivalent to the number of goals scored by some forwards in the whole year.
This kind of efficiency is absolutely unique in the world.
However, even so, Hoffenheim still does not dare to offer Lu Wenbin an annual salary of more than 10 million.
This is very destructive to the wage structure.
You know, the annual salary of Salihovic, Eduardo, Ibisevic and others in the second echelon of the team is only about 2 million euros.
It is not unacceptable that Lu Wenbin’s current annual salary is just over twice theirs, but if Lu Wenbin’s annual salary rises to more than 10 million, it would be unreasonable for Eduardo and others not to get a salary increase.
This is a condition that Hoffenheim cannot accept.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin's contract renewal negotiations broke down. After discussing with Lu Wenbin, Mendes announced that he would not discuss contract renewal with Hoffenheim before the end of the season.
This made other European giants eager to make a move, and also made Hoffenheim fans a little anxious.
But Lu Wenbin didn't care about all that. He just focused on training to maintain his form and strive to complete the task of winning four championships this season.
Because the match between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich was the first match after the winter break, Hoffenheim rested for 9 days after the match, and then faced Leverkusen in the 19th round of the league on January 24.
After the first 18 rounds, Leverkusen ranked second, and the match with Hoffenheim could be regarded as a battle for the championship and runner-up.
Of course, Leverkusen is a bit far behind Hoffenheim in points, and it is Hoffenheim's home court, so most people do not think Leverkusen can win.
Especially with Lu Wenbin, a goal-scoring maniac.
The result of the game was not unexpected, but the process of the game was still quite surprising.
Leverkusen actually scored three goals against Hoffenheim away from home, proving that their second place in the standings is not undeserved and that their offensive power this season is indeed extraordinary.
Of course, Leverkusen's defense, which focused on offense, was also shot into a sieve by Hoffenheim.
In the end, Lu Wenbin scored twice, and the other two goals were scored by Obasi and Eduardo. Hoffenheim narrowly beat Leverkusen 4-3 at home.
With his two goals, Lu Wenbin received a reward of 20,000 goals and 20,000 wins, a total of 40,000 experience points, and the experience points increased to level 17, 3.874 million/5 million.
After this round, Lu Wenbin has scored in 15 consecutive Bundesliga games this season.
Since the 5th round of the Bundesliga after returning from suspension, Lu Wenbin has maintained a record of 15 consecutive league appearances and goals, and is only one game away from Gerd Muller's Bundesliga record of 16 consecutive goals.
Therefore, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga on January 30, Hoffenheim's away game against Schalke 04 attracted more media coverage on the spot.
However, Hoffenheim eventually lost the game 1-2.
Schalke 04 was previously third in the standings.
That is to say, in the first three rounds of games after the winter break, Hoffenheim's three opponents are fourth-placed Bayern, second-placed Leverkusen, and third-placed Schalke 04, a standard series of fierce battles.
Moreover, before the match against Schalke 04, Demba Ba and Jancker were both injured in training and suspended.
It was drizzling at the stadium that day, and as they were playing away from home, Hoffenheim's luck in scoring goals was not good. Due to various factors, Hoffenheim lost 1-2 to Schalke 04 away from home, ending their winning streak.
However, Schalke 04 did not receive treatment as a winner after the game.
Because the media was full of reports about Lu Wenbin equaling Gerd Muller's record of 16 consecutive Bundesliga goals.
In the 58th minute of the game, Lu Wenbin scored his only goal of the game, which was also Hoffenheim's only goal, with a powerful long shot from outside the penalty area.
But no one cares how many goals Hoffenheim scores, and no one cares if Hoffenheim loses.
Everyone only knows that Lu Wenbin has achieved the achievement of scoring in 16 consecutive Bundesliga games in the 16 consecutive Bundesliga games he has played, tying Gerd Muller's record of 16 consecutive Bundesliga goals.
Just one more game and Lu Wenbin will break the record!
