After the game, Dortmund players and fans left the stadium one after another, leaving only Hoffenheim players and fans who had won the championship in advance to celebrate in the Westfalen Stadium.
After all, it is an away game, and the atmosphere of the championship celebration is not as strong as that of the home game.
More than 20 minutes later, the German Football Association held a brief award ceremony for Hoffenheim.
With "We Are the Champions" playing in the background, captain Salihovic raised the 2009/2010 German Football League championship salad plate on behalf of Hoffenheim, and blue and white confetti flew all over the podium.
Hoffenheim won the 2009/2010 Bundesliga championship three rounds in advance, successfully defended the title, and dominated the Bundesliga for two consecutive years. All Hoffenheim players and fans were excited and some fans even shed tears of excitement.
Four years ago, when they were still struggling in the German third division, who could have imagined that they would be as successful as they are today
The team won the championship ahead of schedule, and Lu Wenbin also completed the system task of defending the Bundesliga champion, and was rewarded with 100,000 experience points + 10 skill points. The experience increased to level 18 850,000/10 million, and the balance of skill points was 11.
The next game is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, which will be quite difficult.
Although Hoffenheim has won more than it has lost against Bayern Munich in the past two seasons, Bayern is not completely powerless.
Bayern Munich's foundation, strength and willpower should not be underestimated.
Especially Bayern has many more powerful stars than Hoffenheim.
If they play an extreme 541 defensive counterattack like Lyon, limit Lu Wenbin by piling up players in the backcourt, and rely on one or two superstars in the frontcourt, it is not impossible to defeat Hoffenheim.
Therefore, as a striker, with extra skill points, Lu Wenbin must continue to strengthen the basic striker skills that can help him score goals.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin added all 11 skill points to 8/10 headers, turning the 8/10 header attribute into 13/13.
It’s not that Lu Wenbin doesn’t know that he can save skill points by only increasing his potential and then improving his current ability through training. It’s just that now that the Champions League is imminent, Lu Wenbin thinks he should first improve his current heading ability and increase his chances of scoring goals and the team’s winning.
With his 13/13 heading attribute, combined with Lu Wenbin's off-ball running, physique, height and jumping ability, he can already compete for headers in the penalty area.
This is very useful when taking a corner kick.
If Bayern really plays a defensive counterattack to limit Lu Wenbin's movement and breakthrough space, then the header in the corner kick will become another important way for Lu Wenbin to attack.
It’s not like Lu Wenbin hasn’t scored headers before, but they were very rare.
Even if he wins a header in the penalty area, it is rare for him to hit the goal frame, let alone reach an angle, and rarely poses a threat to the goalkeeper.
Now the current ability value has increased from 8 points to 13 points, an increase of 5 points, which should be a significant improvement.
After a brief award ceremony at the Westfalen Stadium, the Hoffenheim team returned to Rhine-Neckar County, where they were warmly welcomed by fans across the city in Sinsheim.
Considering that there is a more important Champions League semi-final in 5 days and the season is far from over, Hoffenheim did not go to the City Square for a big carnival this time. They just held a brief championship celebration at the Rhine-Neckar Arena and showed the fans the championship salad plate.
Even so, it attracted tens of thousands of fans to gather inside and outside the stadium to celebrate with the team.
Hoffenheim has only participated in two Bundesliga seasons, but has won the Bundesliga championship twice.
The Kaiserslautern miracle is nothing compared to Hoffenheim's results.
Hoffenheim is the strongest newly promoted team in history, and the Hoffenheim miracle is the biggest miracle in football history.
Moreover, they have the opportunity to win the real big triple crown this season after winning the small triple crown last season.
You know, there has never been a true treble winner in the history of the Bundesliga!
Strictly speaking, the triple crown in European football refers to winning the domestic league, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season.
The other trebles, including the UEFA Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, domestic league cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup, are not the real trebles.
For example, Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga, League Cup (German Super Cup) and Champions League in 2001, but not the FA Cup.
Therefore, their treble that season was only a small treble, not a true treble in the strict sense of European football.
Last season, Hoffenheim won the league championship and the FA Cup, but the European competition they won was not the Champions League, but the UEFA Cup.
Therefore, Hoffenheim's victory last season was only a small treble winner, not a real treble winner. A real treble winner would have to win the league title, the Copa del Rey (equivalent to the FA Cup), and the Champions League like Barcelona.
Therefore, a true triple crown is extremely rare.
Even if we look at all the leagues and clubs in European football, only five teams have previously achieved the treble of domestic league, FA Cup and Champions League.
They were Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV Eindhoven in 1988, Manchester United in 1999 and Barcelona in 2009.
Excluding competitions such as the UEFA Cup and the League Cup, only these five teams have won the true treble in the entire history of European football.
Other world-famous super clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, etc. have never won it.
Among the five major leagues, only La Liga and the Premier League have teams that have completed the treble feat. Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 still do not have a true treble-winning team.
If Hoffenheim can win the treble this season, it will become the sixth team in European football history and the first team in Bundesliga history to win the treble.
Moreover, if this great feat is accomplished, Hoffenheim will have won one Champions League, one UEFA Cup, one European Super Cup, two Bundesliga titles, three German Cups and one Bundesliga 2 title in the past three years.
A total of 9 championships, and except for the German 2nd Division championship, the other 8 championships are truly top-level championships. It is definitely a dynasty.
Moreover, this dynasty was created by a newly promoted polo team, which is unprecedented and will probably never be repeated.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Hoffenheim can win the treble this season.
Now, Hoffenheim has won the Bundesliga championship, and only needs to win the Champions League and the German Cup.
The German Cup has reached the final, and the Champions League is only two semi-finals away from the final.
Therefore, the Champions League semi-final between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich is equally eye-catching and is no less attractive than the semi-final between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Everyone wants to see how far Hoffenheim can go and how powerful Lu Wenbin can be.
