On the afternoon of August 11, Dietmar Hopp left the hotel with his bodyguards and began to visit Tianjin's attractions accompanied by Fu Qingqing.
As for Lu Wenbin's matter, it was left to his female assistant Claire to follow up.
Claire is in her 30s and has been Hope's personal assistant for more than three years. She knows a lot about football.
Therefore, it is completely feasible to let Claire act as a scout to observe Lu Wenbin's performance.
Of course, Lu Wenbin’s first round of competition is over, so we have to wait until the second round to watch Lu Wenbin’s competition.
Now Claire can only try to collect Lu Wenbin’s basic data and photos of his first game through the official website of the event, newspapers, television, etc.
When Hope comes back from his trip and needs Lu Wenbin's information, Claire must answer every question.
At 15:00 on the afternoon of August 11, the second match of the first round of Group G between Shanghai Datong Middle School and Qinghai Xining No. 1 Middle School started on time at the Tianjin No. 9 Middle School Football Field.
Zhang Minghai personally went to the scene to watch the game in order to observe the opponent's overall strength and core players.
After 90 minutes, the result of the game was not unexpected. The seeded team Shanghai Datong Middle School defeated Xining No. 1 Middle School in Qinghai Province with a score of 3-0 and also won the first game.
After the first round, Guizhou Province's Meijiang Middle School surpassed Shanghai Datong Middle School by 1 goal difference and ranked first in Group G, which was a rather surprising ranking.
However, this is only the first round of the competition. No one would believe that Meijiang Middle School is stronger than Datong Middle School.
Coincidentally, the second round of Group G will be between Meijiang Middle School in Guizhou Province and Datong Middle School in Shanghai, and Baotou No. 1 Middle School in Inner Mongolia and Xining No. 1 Middle School in Qinghai Province.
Whether Meijiang Middle School won by a large margin because its opponent in the first round was too weak or they are really good, the result will be revealed in the second round.
After the first round of the group stage matches ended on August 11, all the seeded teams performed normally, with the lowest result being a draw, and no team lost.
However, in terms of personal performance, no one can compare with Lu Wenbin.
In all the matches in the first round, only Lu Wenbin scored four goals in a row.
No other player even had a hat trick, and the most they scored was only two goals. Lu Wenbin ranked first in the tournament's scorer list with four goals.
Lu Wenbin's name also became the subject of discussion among everyone in the event.
It is quite surprising that a player from a county town in the mountainous area of Guizhou, which does not even have a professional team, has stolen the limelight from all the players, even some players from the youth teams of professional clubs.
Some domestic club scouts who originally came to observe the performance of their youth team players also turned their attention to Lu Wenbin.
Some people have already decided to watch Meijiang Middle School's second game in person, and Tianjin TV has also sent a photographer to record the video.
If Lu Wenbin performs well again in the next game, there may be a video highlight appearing on TV.
Although there is no multi-camera shooting from the ground to the air like the one at the Olympic Sports Center, it is much better than having only a few photos.
After the first round of group matches, all teams had a day off on August 12.
On August 13, the second round of the group stage continued.
The first match of the second round of Group G held in the morning was between Meijiang Middle School of Guizhou Province and Datong Middle School of Shanghai.
After eight o'clock in the morning, at the football field of Tianjin No. 9 Middle School, there were not only some teachers and students from Tianjin No. 9 Middle School who came to watch the fun after hearing the news, but also several scouts from domestic professional clubs and a European woman in her 30s who looked very smart and capable.
This European woman is Claire, the personal assistant of Dietmar Hopp, the owner of the German Hoffenheim club.
Under the orders of her boss Hope, Claire came to the scene to watch and record Lu Wenbin's performance as a reference for Hope.
Of course, Claire, who didn't speak Chinese, also found an interpreter.
There is no need to be proficient in German like Fu Qingqing, as long as I can carry out normal communication and translation work and bring Claire to the No. 9 Middle School football field, that will be enough.
Everyone around looked at Carlisle curiously, not understanding how a Chinese high school campus football game could attract a European woman to watch, as this was not the Olympic Sports Center.
Could it be that there are players on either team playing today that she's interested in
Looking at the camera around Claire's neck and the pen and notebook in her hands, the scouts from the football club had a bad feeling.
Some people wondered in their hearts: "Could this European woman also be a scout, here to observe Lu Wenbin?"
Everyone's expectations for Lu Wenbin have risen to a new level.
When Lu Wenbin followed his teammates onto the court and saw Claire, a blonde girl with blue eyes and a camera and a notebook, who was obviously European, his heart rate suddenly increased rapidly.
Lu Wenbin quickly asked the system in his mind: "Is this the owner of the European club you arranged? Why is she a woman?"
The system's unchanging electronic voice calmly replied, "This is not the boss. She is just the boss's assistant! However, if you perform well, she will naturally record your performance and pass it on to her boss."
Hearing that the owner of the European club was not what he had imagined, Lu Wenbin felt disappointed.
But then, he regained his fighting spirit.
During the first game, there was not even a single European on the sidelines. But now, the European boss arranged by the system has sent his assistant to watch his game on site.
Obviously, his four goals in the first game had attracted the attention of the opponent.
As long as he continues to perform well, the other side will be tempted to take him to Europe to play football.
Lu Wenbin began to look forward to the game starting soon.
After warming up for a while, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the first match of the second round of Group G of the 2007 China High School Football League National Finals, the match between Guizhou Province Meijiang Middle School and Shanghai Datong Middle School, officially began.
After the big four in the first round, the coach of Datong Middle School naturally paid more attention to Lu Wenbin. Before the game, he instructed his players to strengthen the defense against Lu Wenbin.
However, coaches are coaches and players are players.
For these teenagers who are only 17 or 18 years old and living in the big city of Shanghai, the attention paid to Lu Wenbin by their coaches and outside comments not only does not make them wary, but instead strengthens their mentality of not accepting defeat.
In particular, Gu Zhengpeng, who was enrolled as a sophomore at Datong Middle School but was actually a player of the Shanghai East Asia Football Club youth team, was even more dismissive of Lu Wenbin.
