Seven Crowns

Playing at Hoffenheim U19 is completely different from playing at home.

In the previous training games and warm-up games, Lu Wenbin felt that in the stronger Hoffenheim U19, he did not need to frequently dribble the ball from the backcourt all the way to break through the opponent's entire defense line to score goals.

Many times, as long as Lu Wenbin waits in front, the full-backs and midfield teammates will naturally find ways to pass the ball to the striker.

After the test of the first two official games, Lu Wenbin's feeling became even stronger.

In these two official competitions, although Lu Wenbin also used speed, body, and dribbling to make personal breakthroughs, he actually did not perform many times.

More often, as long as Lu Wenbin ran into the gap, the teammates passed the ball over, and most of the time they needed to score by themselves.

In this case, Lu Wenbin's goal of adding attributes to skill points is very clear, so he adds shooting attributes.

Even if Lu Wenbin's speed, body, and dribbling are average, as long as he hits the door well enough, he can still stand out.

As for other attributes, I will add them when there are more skill points. First, there is an excellent attribute that is beyond ordinary players.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin added all his 9 skill points to the potential value and current ability of the shooting attribute, so that the shooting attribute of 14/14 increased to 17/17.

If you only look at the shooting attributes, this is already the data of the world's first-class strikers, and can occupy the top scorer list in the five major leagues.

In the Bundesliga, it must also be a standout. As for the German U19 regional league, it can easily crush the opponent.

The opponent's defensive interference ability in the youth team's game is not as high as that of the top league. Lu Wenbin uses the shooting attributes of the top league striker to hit the goal, which is naturally easy to crush.

As long as Lu Wenbin gets the chance to shoot, the chance of hitting the goal frame and scoring is quite high.

After adding attribute points, Lu Wenbin can't wait to show his skills in the next league.

The youth team's next league game is the last game before Germany's winter break, and the opponents are a bit of a coincidence: Hoffenheim's youth and first-team opponents are the same team.

In the 13th round of the German U19 Southern Regional League in the 2007/2008 season, Hoffenheim U19 played away to Fürth U19 at 11 am on December 15th.

In the 17th round of the German Bundesliga, it happened that Hoffenheim played away to Fürth, but it was only one day late. The game time was 14:00 on December 16th.

After only two draws and one loss in the last three rounds of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim first team coach Ralf Rangnick was indeed a little anxious about the team's attacking power.

Coincidentally, Nigel Noyce, head of the youth training department, and U19 head coach Ian Balfour jointly recommended to Ralph that boss Hope would introduce a young player Lu Wenbin from China in the summer.

Although Lu Wenbin is only 17 years old, he played a little early in the professional league, and he can reach the threshold of 17 years old to play in the German professional league.

But who told Lu Wenbin to be too dazzling in the two games of the youth team, and Ralph just wanted to supplement and change the striker?

So, on the morning of December 15th, when the Hoffenheim U19 youth team VS Fürth U19 youth team game was about to start, Hoffenheim first team coach Ralph Rangnick appeared on the field. On the side, I stood with U19 head coach Balfour.

Fürth is more than 200 kilometers away from Hoffenheim. Ralph specially came to see Lu Wenbin's performance in this youth league in advance this morning.

The rest of the first team will arrive in Fürth in the afternoon to prepare for the first team game the next day.

The opponents of the youth team and the first team are the same, and they are both away. The time is only one day apart. This is why Ralph just had time to watch Lu Wenbin's performance on the spot.

The players naturally saw Ralph Rangnick, although everyone knew that Ralph must have come to focus on watching Lu Wenbin, who scored 4 goals and 3 assists in two games.

However, everyone also wants to show it well, what if Ralph takes a fancy to them?

Even if you don't get selected this time, show it well and leave a good impression. Maybe the next time there is a shortage of people in the corresponding position in the first team, you will be transferred to the first team?

So, after the game started, Hoffenheim's players were a little eager to show their individual abilities. Everyone wanted to dribble through five levels, rush to the front and take a shot. There was almost no team cooperation.

Including Lu Wenbin, they are a little anxious. When it was time to pass, he chose to shoot. When it's time to pass, he shoots.

So, in the opening 30 minutes, Hoffenheim have yet to score. Lu Wenbin's only few shots on goal failed to create any threat.

The shooting attribute of 17/17 is not equal to a hundred shots, it still depends on the timing. It's not the right time to force a shot, it's the wrong thing to do.

Instead, it was Fürth U19 who scored a goal in the 28th minute by taking advantage of Hoffenheim's weak midfield interception and incompatibility in the backcourt defense.

After Fürth U19 scored a goal, everyone turned their heads and looked to the sidelines. After seeing the two coaches Ralph and Balfour on the sidelines shaking their heads, Hoffenheim's players woke up like a dream, including Lu Wenbin.

In fact, on the football field, each position has different requirements for players. It is not necessary for everyone to pass a few players in a row and score a goal to be an excellent performance. Professional coaches will not only pay attention to the fans. The man who scores the goal.

Midfielders do pass assists and assist in interceptions, backcourt players do a good job of defense, and goalkeepers keep the goal well, that is their job.

The players who can be promoted to U19 have all gone through layers of selection. In fact, they all know in their hearts what the criteria for coach selection are.

Just because of anxiety, everyone fought their own way, giving the opponent a chance to take advantage of it.

After Fürth U19 scored a goal and woke everyone up, the Hoffenheim U19 players performed a lot more normally.

At this time, Lu Wenbin, whose mentality returned to normal, also began to use his personal ability to show off his power.

In the 37th minute, Lu Wenbin received a second pass from his teammate Bernie Gershwin in the penalty area. He rubbed the ball without stopping, and the ball went around the goalkeeper's fingertips and flew into the far corner of the goal of the Fürth team.

The two Fürth defenders who were close at hand stretched their feet in time, but failed to touch the ball and destroy the ball.

It's really that Lu Wenbin's speed of hitting the goal without stopping the ball is too fast, which is beyond their expectations.

If Lu Wenbin stopped the ball to adjust and then hit the goal, he might not be able to score.

If you don't stop the ball, you can still hit the dead corner. This goal reflects the value of Lu Wenbin's 17/17 shooting attributes.

Not long after Lu Wenbin scored, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The first half ended with a score of 1-1 at Hoffenheim, and the two sides drew.
