After reflecting on himself until midnight, Lu Wenbin finally came to a profound understanding of his own problems.
In order to play in the game, to upgrade and gain skill points, and to succeed, Lu Wenbin had to learn German by himself to integrate into the team!
At this time, Lu Wenbin couldn't help but think of a passage in his junior high school Chinese textbook: "When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry..."
As a poor student, Lu Wenbin no longer remembers the rest of the words, nor can he remember which classic book it came from, but he still remembers the first few sentences of the passage and was deeply impressed.
Perhaps, the predicament he is facing now is a test from God!
Facts have proved that even with the help of system plug-ins, Lu Wenbin still needs to have a correct attitude and work hard to finally achieve success!
Otherwise, if you can achieve great success just by training and competing step by step, then success would be too easy!
In order to succeed and not be laughed at for doing what he loves most, Lu Wenbin decided that no matter how hard or difficult it was, he had to learn German!
Moreover, in order to play football in other countries without any obstacles in the future, you must at least learn English, which is commonly used in the international community!
Before going to bed, Lu Wenbin kept encouraging himself and putting pressure on himself, imagining that he would not be able to learn German, would not be able to play in the game, would be kicked out of the club, and would return to China in disgrace and be laughed at by others. Lu Wenbin's belief that he must learn German became stronger and stronger.
After getting up the next morning, Lu Wenbin said to Fu Qingqing: "Sister Qing, I want to learn German. From now on, you should speak to me in German in your daily life. If I don't understand, you can translate and explain it to me."
Fu Qingqing asked in surprise: "Have you figured it out?"
Lu Wenbin nodded and said, "I've figured it out! I must learn German, otherwise I will never be able to fit in with the team, I will never be able to play in the game, and I will have to return home in disgrace and be laughed at. I don't want to go to that point!"
Fu Qingqing nodded happily and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's get started now!"
After saying that, Fu Qingqing changed the mode and started speaking to Lu Wenbin in German.
This time, Lu Wenbin did not turn his head to look forward, nor did he daydream. Instead, he forced himself to listen carefully to the words Fu Qingqing said.
If he didn't understand, he would ask Fu Qingqing to translate for him.
He must learn German, integrate into the team and play in the game before Fu Qingqing leaves Germany!
When Lu Wenbin accepted from the bottom of his heart that he had to learn German in order to integrate into the team and get a chance to play, and no longer resisted learning a foreign language, he found that learning German was not that difficult.
What's more, Lu Wenbin was living in Germany, he heard German every day, watched TV and read newspapers in German, and with the help of Fu Qingqing for translation and comparison, he learned faster.
As a player, there is no requirement for Lu Wenbin to write poetry or prose in German. It is enough for him to understand, speak, and recognize some basic German words and short sentences commonly used in daily life.
Training and studying every day, time passes quickly and fulfillingly.
Having been in Germany for more than two months, Lu Wenbin can already speak some simple German.
In addition, with his hard work, Lu Wenbin's German level improved rapidly, and he soon reached a level where he could have simple communication with his coach and teammates.
In fact, given Lu Wenbin's position as a forward, there are not many tactical requirements for him on the court.
As long as he can communicate with his teammates on the court through simple conversations and gestures, Lu Wenbin can play.
However, this requires following the coach's arrangements.
Lu Wenbin's changes caught the attention of head coach Ian Balfour.
Lu Wenbin is a key talent personally introduced from China by club chairman Dietmar Hopp. He signed a professional contract. Unlike these youth team players, Lu Wenbin was prepared to play in the German Second Division. He was just placed in the youth team to adapt first.
Therefore, Balfour has always been concerned about Lu Wenbin's condition.
Lu Wenbin has the strength to play in the German Second Division without any problems, and he can definitely be a starter in the youth team.
However, Lu Wenbin's German level has always been an obstacle. Balfour was afraid that Lu Wenbin would have difficulty communicating with his teammates on the court, which would affect the overall operation of the team, so he never gave him a chance to play.
However, starting from early November, Lu Wenbin suddenly changed his attitude. He no longer came to training, ate, and left alone every day. Instead, he took the initiative to communicate with his teammates through gestures.
For those who don’t understand, Lu Wenbin’s translator Fu Qingqing will explain it to them.
In less than a month, Lu Wenbin was able to have simple conversations with everyone. When Balfour was explaining tactics, Lu Wenbin could also understand some of his own tactical diagrams and German words.
Balfour decided to give Lu Wenbin a chance to play and let him try. After all, the youth team is used to experiment and select talents, not to mention that he is a key talent that the chairman personally brought from China all the way.
On the afternoon of December 1st, the day before Hoffenheim U19's away game against Wolfenburg U19 in the 11th round of the German U19 League South Division, when Ian Balfour announced the 18-man roster for tomorrow's game against Wolfenburg, Lu Wenbin's name was on the list.
Lu Wenbin almost jumped for joy, and his teammates also congratulated him.
"Lu, congratulations, you're finally on the roster after such a long time!"
"If you come on the field, I'll pass the ball to you."
"Just catch the ball and shoot in front. Your shot will be fine."
With the aura of a junior leader, and the fact that Lu Wenbin opened his heart and took the initiative to approach and communicate with his teammates, most people in the team, except for several other forwards with whom he was in competition, were quite friendly to Lu Wenbin and were willing to help him.
Seeing Lu Wenbin re-enter the roster, Fu Qingqing also breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for the progress Lu Wenbin had made.
The next day, on the morning of December 2, the entire Hoffenheim U19 team drove to the city of Wolfenburg 100 kilometers away.
After arriving in Wolfenburg, we had lunch and took a short rest. At 13:00 noon German time, the match between Hoffenheim U19 and Wolfenburg U19 officially started at the Wolfenburg U19 youth team training field.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Hoffenheim's No. 13 attacking midfielder Hubert scored a long-range goal for Hoffenheim. However, Wolfenburg equalized the score just 3 minutes into the second half.
Afterwards, the game became tense. The two sides fought back and forth, but neither side could break the other's goal. The score of 1-1 remained until the 70th minute.
Among them, Hoffenheim's two forwards wasted several good scoring opportunities throughout the game, and it seemed that they forgot to bring their shooting boots today for the final shot.
So, in the 71st minute, after seeing his right forward's shot miss the target, the angry head coach Ian Balfour turned his head and glanced at the bench, then said to Lu Wenbin: "Lu, go warm up!"
Lu Wenbin perked up, took off his coat immediately, and started to stretch and warm up on the sidelines.
Lu Wenbin's first chance to come on as a substitute in Germany has come.
