When Lu Wenbin was resting at home on holiday, on December 19, UEFA held the draw for the top 32 of the UEFA Cup in the 2008/2009 season.

The 24 UEFA Cup group stage qualifying teams and 8 UEFA Cup group stage third-placed teams that have sunk into the UEFA Cup will start fighting in the 1/16 finals of the second half of the season.

The Bundesliga has four teams that qualify from the UEFA Cup group stage, namely Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Hamburg, and a UEFA Champions League group B group third place Werder Bremen.

A total of five Bundesliga teams participated in the UEFA Cup knockout rounds, still the country with the most participating teams in all leagues in Europe.

According to the lottery rules of the 1/16 finals where teams from the same country did not meet, in the end Stuttgart drew Zenit St. Petersburg, Werder Bremen drew AC Milan, Wolfsburg drew Paris Saint-Germain, and Hamburg drew Nimegen. .

The UEFA Cup knockout round is a home and away double round. Taking into account the weather factors of the away game against the Russian Super League team St. Petersburg Zenit, these draws, except for Hamburg’s opponent Nimegen, which looks better to deal with, Stuttgart, Werder Bremen, and Werder The signings in Wolfsburg are not very good.

Hoffenheim, who was drawn in the end, was drawn to Lake Pusner from the Polish Premier League, and it was still more favorable to the home and away schedule.

Although Lekpusner is currently ranked first in the Polish Premier League standings, but against Hoffenheim, who is the number one in the Bundesliga, it can be said that there is no suspense under normal circumstances.

Therefore, after the draw result came out, the German media announced that Hoffenheim and Hamburg would advance to the top 16 without any suspense, while Stuttgart, Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg must have had a hard fight.

In an interview with reporters, Lu Wenbin also relaxed and confidently said: "Lakepusner is not a fish belly, they are the first place in the Polish Premier League. However, no matter who the opponent is, I believe that Hoffenheim will win the final victory. ."

He first praised his opponent, and then replied that it was Hoffenheim who won the victory, which proved Lu Wenbin\'s self-confidence.

Not only Lu Wenbin, not only the German media, normal people do not believe that the Bundesliga No. 1 Hoffenheim will capsize on Lake Pusner.

Besides, there are more players and coaches claiming that they will definitely win without a game on the football field. This is also a way to show confidence and morale. You can\'t predict that you will lose before a game, right?

Therefore, no one said that Lu Wenbin was arrogant or arrogant.

Next, after more than ten days, the time entered the New Year\'s Day of 2009, and the European winter break transfer window opened on January 1, 2009, and ended on January 31.

Although Hoffenheim participated in the top league and European competitions for the first time, his performance in the first half of the season was exceptionally stunning. The team has a stable lineup and a tacit understanding. There is no need to add anything.

Therefore, this winter break transfer has largely nothing to do with Hoffenheim.

Except for the third goalkeeper Kisbaum, who has never been given a chance to play, cancel his contract and let him leave freely, and then freely transfer to the 30-year-old goalkeeper Hildebrand, Hoffenheim will open the winter transfer window. There is no other transfer action.

After the New Year\'s Day in the solar calendar, the team is approaching training camp, and Lu Wenbin can\'t spend New Year\'s Eve and Spring Festival at home, so he can only say goodbye to his parents reluctantly.

On January 4, 2009, Lu Wenbin returned to Germany and returned to his residence in Rhein-Neckar County. Kate also returned to Lu Wenbin. It was not like a day that the two had tossed for a night.

Then, on January 5th, the Hoffenheim team assembled and flew to La Manga, a Spanish winter resort for winter training.

It is warmer than Germany.

Kate and other players\' family members also followed to La Manga, which is equivalent to a vacation.

In addition to Hoffenheim, some Bundesliga teams such as Hamburg and Bochum, as well as teams from other Nordic countries, have winter training sessions in La Manga, which is also convenient for everyone to play friendly matches during the training sessions.

Just as Lu Wenbin and his teammates were actively training to prepare for the second half of the Bundesliga championship, a shocking news broke out in Chinese football, which quickly swept the entire Chinese football circle.

On January 9, 2009, written by famous football commentator Li Chengpeng, editor-in-chief Liu Xiaoxin, and senior reporter Wu Celi, published by Jiangsu People\'s Publishing House and Phoenix Publishing and Media Group officially held a new book launch conference in Beijing.

The book publicly proclaimed "Welcome to sit, welcome to court, welcome higher-level investigations, welcome fans to report", exposing countless unknown inside stories of Chinese football since entering the professional league, and it also brought the Chinese Football Association, which was already in a precarious position after the Olympics, to another He stabbed fiercely and was warmly welcomed by the national media and fans.

It is said that an unprecedented super storm of anti-counterfeiting and anti-criminal crimes, which was issued by higher-level leaders and criminal intervention by the Ministry of Public Security, is brewing in Chinese football.

Lu Wenbin, who has almost become the number one star of Chinese football, naturally cannot escape the reporter\'s chase and interview.

As an ordinary fan, Lu Wenbin used to be confused and puzzled for China\'s such a large country, such a large population, and its economic conditions. Why did football always perform poorly and become worse and worse.

When the many shady scenes that burst out in this book appeared in front of him~www.novelhall.com~Lu Wenbin couldn\'t help being shocked, angry, and saddened.

When domestic reporters came to interview him, Lu Wenbin, who was angry, unabashedly criticized the Chinese Football Association, the domestic league, referees and other issues.

With Lu Wenbin\'s current status and status, what he said will not only have a huge impact on the Chinese media and fans, but even show the shady scenes of Chinese football to foreign media and fans.

As for whether he will lose the face of Chinese football, whether he will be hated and banned by the leaders of the Chinese Football Association, Lu Wenbin did not consider that much at the minute he was interviewed.

After scolding the Chinese Football Association a lot and venting the injustice in his heart, Lu Wenbin put more energy into training.

On January 11, Hoffenheim played a friendly match with the Bundesliga Bochum, who was also in La Manga for winter training.

Although Bochum studied Bayern and Schalke 04 and sent two defensive players to guard Lu Wenbin closely, Lu Wenbin scored two goals in the first half and scored twice. One of them was in the penalty area The two defensive players forced a kick and shot into the goal.

Because it was a friendly match, Lu Wenbin was replaced by Ralph during the intermission and did not play the entire game. In the end, Hoffenheim won the friendly match with a score of 3-0.

The efficiency of Lu Wenbin scored twice in 45 minutes proves that he is still that terrifying super shooter.

Even if the opponent sends two people, it is impossible to stare Lu Wenbin to death, at best it can only reduce his chances of shooting.

Of course, there is no tactic in football that can completely freeze a super shooter, and that can only be done with kill tactics.

What no one can predict is that the injuries are indeed quietly attacking the thriving Hoffenheim.
