Wu Sihuo's affairs were taken care of by his subordinates, so Lu Wenbin just made a phone call to Hoffenheim's general manager Rothaus. He himself was still concentrating on preparing for the team's first round of the league.
Although he successfully won the Spanish Super Cup and had a stunning debut game, he is still a long way from the triple crown or six crowns that Lu Wenbin needs. Lu Wenbin can never slack off.
After a few days of preparation, Lu Wenbin made his Spanish La Liga debut.
At 9 p.m. on August 23, with the referee's whistle, the first round of the 2011/2012 Spanish La Liga match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao officially began at home.
Athletic Bilbao is an Italian football club located in the Basque Country in northern Spain. They are the second oldest team in Spanish football history and are the fourth most successful team in La Liga after Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in terms of competitive performance.
Athletic Bilbao has a tradition that is respected by fans all over the world, which is to only use players with Basque descent.
This makes Athletic Bilbao's players quite loyal, many of them are consistent and quite united on the court.
Before the Bosman Act, such teams were not uncommon. At that time, there was little player mobility in each league, and many teams only used their own country or even local players.
But after the Bosman Act, Athletic Bilbao's practice is almost unique among the top five European leagues.
This means that although their results are not as good as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, they are not too bad either. At least they are stable and will not be relegated easily.
In fact, Athletic Bilbao has never been relegated since 1928. The only two clubs that hold this record are Real Madrid and Barcelona, which makes people admire their tenacity.
Real Madrid's first round of La Liga this season is such a tough nut to crack.
After a global commercial training during the pre-season training period, we immediately had two high-intensity Spanish national derby games with Barcelona after returning to Spain.
The physical and mental state of Real Madrid players is not as strong as the 8-3 score in the Spanish Super Cup.
In that 8-3 score, Lu Wenbin contributed 4 goals and 3 assists, directly creating 7 of the 8 goals.
If it weren't for the new super signing Lu Wenbin, Real Madrid might not have been able to beat Barcelona, just like the overall confrontation situation in previous seasons.
Therefore, Real Madrid's overall condition is actually not very good.
In the 8th minute, Real Madrid had a good chance to score.
Lu Wenbin's through passes penetrated Athletic Bilbao's defense, but Benzema's one-on-one shot after receiving the through pass went straight over the goalkeeper's head and also went high over the crossbar of the goal.
Real Madrid, playing at home, failed to score the first goal. Instead, it was Athletic Bilbao, playing away, who scored the first goal against Real Madrid.
In the 13th minute, Bilbao's full-back Iraola suddenly moved forward, catching Real Madrid off guard.
After a one-two pass with his teammate on the midfield wing, Iraola broke through Marcelo, the defender who was standing in front, and then made a cross from the bottom.
Llorente, a 195cm tall and 90kg player of Athletic Bilbao, overpowered Ramos and Pepe to get the ball and headed the ball only five or six meters away from the goal.
The distance was too close and Casillas had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net. Athletic Bilbao scored the first goal at the Bernabeu and led Real Madrid 1-0.
Although Spanish fans don't like to travel with their team to away games, there are always some super die-hard fans of each team.
This game is the first round of La Liga this season. Athletic Bilbao still has more than 2,000 fans coming to Madrid with the team to challenge the Galacticos.
However, even die-hard Bilbao fans like them did not expect that the team would be the first to break through the goal of Real Madrid, which has superstars such as Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo, Benzema and Casillas, at the Bernabeu and take the lead away from home.
Suddenly, more than 2,000 Bilbao fans cheered and roared in ecstasy, venting their excitement.
The commentators also expressed their surprise.
You know, in the past six seasons, Athletic Bilbao only won one of the 12 games between the two sides, and it was a home win.
At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid has won all home games in the past six seasons.
Unexpectedly, Real Madrid is now falling behind Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu.
Mourinho was also very angry and yelled at Marcelo on the sidelines, telling him to do his job well and not to just assist and then not come back.
Marcelo knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare say anything. He lowered his head and returned to the defense line. The Real Madrid fans in the stands also booed sporadically.
Real Madrid is the most successful team, and Real Madrid fans are also the most demanding fans.
Real Madrid fans will boo any poor performance, whether it is an individual player or the team as a whole.
They also carry white handkerchiefs with them, and when the team performs poorly or when they are dissatisfied with the players, coaches, or club executives, they wave them at the entire team to express their anger.
Real Madrid fans only support the winners, and it is almost impossible for the losers to get comfort from Real Madrid fans.
It can be said that Real Madrid is probably the team that is booed the most by home fans on the planet.
Therefore, it is rare to see players who remain loyal to one team in Real Madrid.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin did not have the idea of playing for Real Madrid for his whole life, otherwise he would definitely be disappointed.
Just 13 minutes into the game, the team unexpectedly fell behind Athletic Bilbao by one goal, and some anxious fans booed.
However, after all, we were only one goal behind, and these people were only a minority.
But even if it is only a minority, it is enough to make Real Madrid stars alert.
If the situation continues like this and Athletic Bilbao scores a second goal, I'm afraid it won't just be a few people booing, but the whole stadium will boo and even start waving white handkerchiefs.
The game resumed, and the Real Madrid stars showed all their spirit and began to really fight with Athletic Bilbao.
After all, Real Madrid players are superior in personal ability. When they are willing to fight with all their strength, they can show extraordinary strength even if they are not in good shape.
Less than 10 minutes after Athletic Bilbao scored, Real Madrid equalized the score in the 19th minute.
The one who scored the goal was Lu Wenbin, who was highly expected by everyone.
He dribbled past three players in a counterattack, then completed a wall pass with Ronaldo before breaking into the penalty area and scoring with a low shot.
Lu Wenbin scored his first goal in the La Liga, and the cheers of Real Madrid fans finally rang out in the stands of the Bernabeu.
