Seven Crowns

Chapter 287: Surprised



On July 5, 2009, the 2009/2010 season Hoffenheim\'s new season training began.

At the Hoffenheim training base, the club first arranged for Simunic and Esina, as well as the newly introduced Ghanaian center Tagoy to meet with the fans. The fans expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the three new players.

Of course, what everyone welcomes more is Lu Wenbin, Eduardo, Salihović, who were the heroes of last season\'s Triple Crown, and Ibisevic, who has returned from injury.

Simunic, Esina, and Tagoy need to be truly recognized by Hoffenheim fans and they need to prove themselves in the game.

In addition to meeting with the fans to sign, the players also had to go to the base medical center for a physical examination on the first day of the training camp.

The physical examination proved that Lu Wenbin\'s body was the best maintained.

I heard that Lu Wenbin also invited a personal trainer to increase his speed. The teammates all expressed admiration, and Ralph also expressed gratitude.

The first day of the training camp was to meet the fans, get to know each other with the new players, and then had a medical examination.

On July 6, Hoffenheim really started the training camp for the new season.

As a result, the first training session of Simunic and Lu Wenbin surprised everyone.

Simunic\'s dominance in the penalty area is indeed strong. Whether it is Palgic or Ibisevic, who has returned from injury, it is difficult to catch any shot opportunities in the penalty area.

But Simunic\'s strength is well known, and everyone is not too surprised.

Instead, it was Lu Wenbin, who was able to fight head-to-head with Simunic who is 195m tall and weighs 89kg in the restricted area.

Although there is little chance of winning the header because of his height, in terms of physical antagonism, Lu Wenbin, who is only 180m tall and weighs only 76kg, is not at all disadvantaged.

In the case of catching the ball with his back in the restricted area, Lu Wenbin can take up his position and wait for his teammates to respond. Simunic can hardly grab the ball from Lu Wenbin\'s feet even if he pulls or pushes behind him.

Lu Wenbin\'s physical strength and antagonism surprised everyone, and he was full of confidence in the prospects of the new season.



Over time, Hoffenheim in the training camp ushered in their first warm-up match.

On July 10th, Hoffenheim played a friendly game in the away game at Debian Grobspach.

Lu Wenbin, whose strength has risen again, faced the German C team and scored 3 goals in the first half to complete the hat-trick, and was replaced during the intermission.

Ibisevic, who returned from injury, also played well and scored a header.

In the end, Hoffenheim defeated Grobspach 6-1 in the away game. Lu Wenbin scored 3 goals + won just 1000 points of experience, and the experience rose to 1.358 million / 2 million at level 16.

A week later, on July 17, Hoffenheim ushered in a friendly home match with Turkey\'s Fenerbahçe.

Although Fenerbahçe is much stronger than Grobspach, Lu Wenbin scored twice in the first half and then was replaced at the intermission.

In the end, Hoffenheim won a 5-2 victory at home. Lu Wenbin won 2 goals + a total of 4,000 experience points for winning. The experience rose to 1.362 million / 2 million at level 16.

On July 19, the first Deutsche Telekom Cup sponsored by Deutsche Telekom Group replaced the German League Cup to start the game, but the game time was only 60 minutes, and the participating teams were Bayern Munich, Schalke 04, Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Hoffen Haim has nothing to do.

Related to Hoffenheim is the German Super Cup on July 20.

It was originally a Super Cup by the Bundesliga champions vs. the German Cup champions. Because Hoffenheim won both competitions last season, it is now Hoffenheim facing last season\'s Bundesliga runner-up Wolfsburg.

Although it is not an official match organized by the German Football Association, this Super Cup is a little more advanced than ordinary friendly matches. There are sponsors, trophies, bonuses and so on.

Moreover, the venue of the game is the Rhein Neckar Arena, home of Hoffenheim.

Therefore, although it was not an official game, many Hoffenheim fans came to this game and almost filled the stadium stands.

Hoffenheim fans are here to support the team and Lu Wenbin, while the reporter is looking at whether the 19-year-old Lu Wenbin is worthy of the Bundesliga\'s highest salary.

We must know that there are countless predecessors who have been famous for many years in the Bundesliga, such as Ribery, Ram, Van Bommel, De Jong, etc., and they are not as high as Lu Wenbin, a 19-year-old young man.

There is no shortage of dissent from the media and other fans.

At 19:20 in the evening on July 20, the referee blew a whistle, and the 2009 German Super Cup officially began.

Hoffenheim used the main lineup from the second half of last season, the 433 formation.

Goalkeeper Ozcan, defenders Jaisler, Baker, Yankel, Nelson, midfielder Gustavo, midfielder Eduardo, Salihović, forwards Palgic, Dembaba, Lu Wenbin.

Simunic, who has just joined, and Ibisevic, who have come back, are sitting on the bench. They need time to compete for the main position.

The familiar stadium and enthusiastic home team fans made Hoffenheim enter the game a little earlier than the Wolfsburg players, and Lu Wenbin was even more motivated.

He didn\'t want to be given excuses by the media to criticize him after the game.

In the 7th minute, Eduardo made a pass from the bottom and Pargic flew the header. Lu Wenbin instantly shook off the defense of Santana and defender Madron. He volleyed sideways from the back of the penalty area and grabbed another defender. Regal kicked the ball to the goal before making a clearance.

Although goalkeeper Benalio made a save, Lu Wenbin\'s shot was fast and powerful. Even though the angle was not tricky, Benalio still failed to make the save.

The heavy ball penetrated into the goal like lightning, rushed the net high, and it took a while to fall.

Only in the 7th minute of the opening, Lu Wenbin opened the record for Hoffenheim and achieved a 1-0 lead.

Lu Wenbin\'s full-value off-the-ball running, physique, and shooting attributes, coupled with a 15/20 speed, are not what Wolfsburg players can prevent, even if they use two or three defenders.

In the 25th minute, Lu Wenbin got a space outside the penalty area and received a pass from Salihović for a long shot.

The 20/20 shooting attribute, although outside the penalty area, can also allow Lu Wenbin to basically hit within the range of the door frame.

In the end, even though Benalio made a save and even touched the ball with his fingertips, he still failed to get the ball out of the goal frame.
