Seven Crowns

After the 23rd round of the league match with Paderborn, Lu Wenbin got 2 assists 1000 + 2 goals 2000 + team win 2000, a total of 5000 experience points reward, level experience rose to 10712/50000.

Unfortunately, Mainz and Mönchengladbach, who were ahead of Hoffenheim, also won, and Hoffenheim had to continue to rank behind Mainz because of the disadvantage of goal difference. Third place in the standings.

However, although the team's ranking did not rise, Lu Wenbin's personal performance of scoring and assisting scored twice, still conquered all Huocun fans and club executives on the scene.

On the website, fans called on the club to quickly give Lu Wenbin a new contract to avoid being poached. The owner Hope also gave the general manager Rothouse a death order that Lu Wenbin's new contract must be settled as soon as possible.

So, two days after the match with Paderborn, Lu Wenbin's agent Mendes finally helped him secure a new contract with Hoffenheim.

The new contract is signed for five years, with an annual salary of 600,000 euros and a liquidated damages of 20 million euros.

This salary is the annual salary of the top three in the Hoffenheim team.

In the financially healthy German professional league, the salary is already higher than that of most ordinary Bundesliga players. (The time in the book is 2008. Shao Jiayi’s 500,000 euros in Cottbus in the Bundesliga is already the top salary in the team. Book friends should not compare the 2018 football salary, nor the Premier League and La Liga giants. salaries for comparison.)

Not only the salary, but also the appearance fee, goal award, assist award, promotion award, championship award, etc. have also been greatly improved. When signing the contract, Lu Wenbin also received an additional signing fee reward.

On March 14, two days before the 24th round of the league, Hoffenheim held a press conference to announce the completion of the signing of a new contract with Lu Wenbin.

After the new contract with the club is concluded, Lu Wenbin can train games with peace of mind and do his best to upgrade Hoffenheim to win the championship. Fans can also put aside their worries.

At least, in a short period of time, there is no fear of someone coming to dig Lu Wenbin.

Two days later, at 14:00 on March 16, in the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim played against Aue, who ranked third from the bottom.

Because the semi-final of the German Cup is two days later, Ralph was on the bench for most of the game, and even the goalkeeper was rotated. Only Lu Wenbin continued to stay on the field to maintain a deterrent force against Aue.

Sure enough, Lu Wenbin, who had just signed the contract, put a lot of pressure on Aue on the court, making Aue not dare to attack aggressively even in the face of Hoffenheim's bench.

Moreover, even if he strictly guarded Lu Wenbin, he still failed to keep the goal in the end.

No matter how low Lu Wenbin's off-ball movement is, and the opponent's strict defense, it is impossible for Lu Wenbin to have a single shot in a game.

As long as there is a chance to shoot, Lu Wenbin's shooting is a super killer.

In this game, because the ability of the substitute teammates to find gaps to pass and assist is insufficient compared to the main lineup, and Lu Wenbin's ability to run gaps is not high, so Lu Wenbin only won two good penalty areas in the first half. An inside shot and a chance for a free kick from outside the box.

That free kick failed to go in using system skills, but Lu Wenbin scored one of the two shots in the penalty area.

So, at the end of the first half, Hoffenheim were able to go into half-time with a 1-0 scoreline.

At halftime, after thinking for a long time, Ralph Rangnick replaced Lu Wenbin in advance.

Not to mention that the league is leading 1-0, even if they lose in the end, Hoffenheim still has time to come back. But the next German Cup game is really not to be missed.

Entering the final has a high chance of participating in the UEFA Cup next season. Compared with a Bundesliga that is not fatal for the time being,

Obviously the German Cup semi-final is more important.

Therefore, after the 15-minute intermission, Lu Wenbin sat on the bench.

After seeing that Lu Wenbin was not on the court, the Aue team launched a counterattack.

However, the strength of Hoffenheim's bench lineup is not worse than that of Aue, who is ranked third to last in the standings. Coupled with the shrinking defense, Aue did not get any decent shooting opportunities in the second half.

Under the terrified eyes of the home fans, the 90-minute game came to an end, and Hoffenheim actually held the score of 1-0 and won this Bundesliga victory.

As a result, Lu Wenbin got another 1000 goals + 2000 wins, a total of 3000 experience points, and the level experience rose to 13712/50000.

What is even more surprising is that after the other two games that started at the same time as Hoffenheim, Fürth unexpectedly lost to Koblenz at home, and Mainz was also drawn by Munich 1860 away.

As a result, in the standings, Hoffenheim dominated the second place with 43 points, throwing off Fürth and Mainz, who were evenly divided with Hoffenheim in the previous round.

In front of Hoffenheim, there is only Monchengladbach with 4 points more than them.

With 10 rounds to go before the end of the league this season, Hoffenheim still has a chance to wait for Borussia Monchengladbach to make mistakes, and then go ahead and win the Bundesliga championship.

Of course, the premise is that Hoffenheim does not lose.

However, judging from the offensive power of Hoffenheim's nine-game winning streak in the League Cup after the winter break and Lu Wenbin's scoring every game, it is not impossible for Hoffenheim to surpass Borussia Monchengladbach.

...

After playing the league with Aue, the Hoffenheim team entered the time to prepare for the German Cup semi-finals.

Speaking of which, the focus of this season's match against Hoffenheim's opponent Jena in the German Cup semi-final is a bit strange.

They don't focus on relegation in the league, but put all their energy into the cup. The German Cup went all the way to the semi-finals, but in the Bundesliga, it has fallen into the relegation zone early and is currently ranked second to last.

Do they hope to enter next season's UEFA Cup through the German Cup?

If they do beat Hoffenheim in this German Cup semi-final and Bayern Munich beat Wolfsburg in the other semi-final, then Jena will not beat Bayern in the final. Because Bayern has already qualified for European competition through the Bundesliga and entered next season's UEFA Cup.

And in the Bundesliga, Jena really has very little hope of relegation. The gap between them and the bottom three is relatively large, and they are almost certain to be relegated to the Bundesliga next season.

If Jena's promotion to the German Cup final and relegation happen, then next season there will be a funny scene of the Bundesliga team representing German football in the UEFA Cup, which may also become a good story.

However, Hoffenheim naturally does not allow this to happen.

In order to prepare for this semi-final, Ralph was almost on the bench in the last round of the league. Even Lu Wenbin was replaced after the first half, just to ensure that Jena was defeated in the semi-final.

As for Lu Wenbin himself, he did not allow Hoffenheim to be defeated by Jena.

Not only does he have to defeat Jena to reach the final, but even if he encounters Bayern Munich in the final, he will try his best to defeat Bayern in order to complete the systematic task of the double championship and open the hidden skill "injury tendency".

PS: It is wrong to write another semi-final against Stuttgart in the previous article, it is a typo, Stuttgart has been eliminated by Jena, the other semi-final of that season is actually Bayern Munich vs. Wolfsburg, which has been revised .
