Seven Crowns

After returning to Hoffenheim from Osnabrück, Lu Wenbin's astonishing hat-trick performance in the second consecutive game became an important weight for Fu Qingqing to negotiate with various brokerage companies and big-name brokers.

Within two days, Lu Wenbin signed an exclusive brokerage contract with Jorge Mendes, who is known as the world's number one agent.

As for Lu Wenbin's guardian, Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui completed the signing process by fax.

The rake ratio failed to talk about the industry's lowest 5%, because Lu Wenbin did not have that status yet.

However, it has also dropped from 10% for regular brokerage contracts to 7%. Because Lu Wenbin's potential is too amazing, Mendes doesn't want to let go.

Other agents agreed with 5%, but Lu Wenbin chose Mendes after much consideration.

On the one hand, Mendes has a good reputation, and he does not often instigate players to change clubs to get commissions on transfer fees, as some agents do, and it is more pleasant to cooperate with players.

On the other hand, Mendes is stronger, and his ability to negotiate and operate transfers is well-known in the industry.

In Lu Wenbin's mind, he will definitely become the world's No. 1 football star in the future. The world's No. 1 football superstar is naturally worthy of the world's No. 1 agent.

Otherwise, incompetent agents may cause a lot of invisible losses to Lu Wenbin in terms of transfers, club negotiations, and business endorsements.

After helping Lu Wenbin to sign a contract with Mendes, Fu Qingqing's half-year translation contract with Hoffenheim Club also expired, ending the work of full-time translation for Lu Wenbin, and it is time to return to China.

Although Fu Qingqing's job is nominally to be a translator for Lu Wenbin and teach him to learn German, the salary is paid by the Hoffenheim Club.

However, in the past six months in Germany, Fu Qingqing was actually equivalent to Lu Wenbin's assistant and nanny.

Not only to be a translator and a teacher for Lu Wenbin, but also to cook for Lu Wenbin, clean the house and so on when he is not training.

Moreover, Fu Qingqing also contributed a lot in the negotiation with Mendes.

Therefore, when Fu Qingqing left, Lu Wenbin personally took her to Frankfurt Airport and wrapped her a big red envelope.

In the future life in Germany, Lu Wenbin is really independent.

After signing the agent contract and sending Fu Qingqing away, the first thing Mendes had to do was to renegotiate the club contract for Lu Wenbin.

The previous 6-year contract with an annual salary of 100,000 is definitely not in line with Lu Wenbin's worth.

In fact, Rothouse, the general manager of the club, had already approached Lu Wenbin about this matter, and hoped that Lu Wenbin would re-sign the contract with the club.

However, they were all dragged over by Lu Wenbin. He was just going to wait for the agent to get it done before a professional agent would negotiate with the club.

Lu Wenbin will not participate in the specific negotiation process. After all, he was brought to Europe by the owner Hope himself. It is not easy to negotiate a new contract with the club. It is best for an agent to come forward.

Lu Wenbin just needs to concentrate on training and competition.

Lu Wenbin just told Mendes that the contract period should be reduced, and the new contract was calculated from 2007, and then the liquidated damages clause was added.

As for wages, Lu Wenbin doesn't care much. Now he wants games, not wages. The salary doesn't matter as long as he can guarantee his playing time.

Hoffenheim ushered in the 23rd round of the Bundesliga when Mendes and Hoffenheim general manager Rothaus tug-of-war.

At 14:00 on March 9, 2008, the 23rd round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga Bundesliga kicked off the match between Hoffenheim at home against Paderborn at the Dietmar Hopp Stadium.

Lu Wenbin continued to start, forming a frontcourt trident with Ibisevic, who had a rest, and Demba Ba, who regained the starting position.

Only 3 minutes into the opening, Hoffenheim won a well-positioned frontcourt free kick at the front of the penalty area through Dembaba's breakthrough.

With the cheers of more than 6,000 Huocun fans in the audience, Lu Wenbin turned on the system's free-kick skills, and kicked the free-kick into the dead corner of the goal in one fell swoop.

Just 3 minutes into the factory, Hoffenheim led Paderborn 1-0 and made a fantastic start.

However, then Lu Wenbin was strictly guarded by his opponent, and there was also a midfielder who followed Lu Wenbin firmly for close defense.

Lu Wenbin also enjoyed the treatment of a superstar in the German professional league for the first time, and he needed a special person to guard him closely.

However, Lu Wenbin is not only able to shoot, he also has good speed, dribbling, vision and passing.

So, in the 27th minute and 41st minute of the first half, Lu Wenbin assisted Ibisevic and Salihovic to hit the goal respectively, and Hoffenheim led 3-0 in the first half, almost ending early. Contest.

In the second half, after the two sides switched sides and fought again, Paderborn may have been a little discouraged by the 0-3 deficit, and his defensive intensity against Lu Wenbin was reduced.

Coupled with the improvement of Lu Wenbin's own running attributes without the ball, his ability to find gaps has improved.

So, in the 65th minute, Lu Wenbin got a shot from the corner of the penalty area.

Before the opponent's defender blocked the shooting angle, Lu Wenbin took a light lob, picked the ball past the goalkeeper, and accurately drilled into the far corner of the goal.

In the 65th minute, Hoffenheim took a 4-0 lead.

Not long after Lu Wenbin scored, Ralph Rangnick replaced him.

After all, this game has no surprises. In the following league and German Cup, Lu Wenbin needs to continue to contribute his strength.

Therefore, it is the overall strategy formulated by the team's coaching staff to replace Lu Wenbin in advance on the premise of ensuring the team's victory, so that he can get more rest time.

After Lu Wenbin came off, Hoffenheim did not score again.

Both Ibisevic and Demba Ba have had excellent shooting opportunities from close range, but they were unable to score nine out of ten like Lu Wenbin did, and they did not score a goal in the end.

Through comparison, everyone can more clearly recognize the horror of Lu Wenbin's archery, which makes people look forward to Lu Wenbin's future even more.

In the end, with Lu Wenbin's goals and assists scoring twice, Hoffenheim beat Paderborn 4-0 at home.

In addition to the first free kick, in fact, Lu Wenbin also kicked two free kicks later, but they were all taken by himself, unable to use the cooling system skills, and finally did not score a goal.

Despite this, Lu Wenbin scored a goal from 3 free kicks in this game, and Lu Wenbin's free kick scoring rate is still very impressive.

In Hoffenheim, Lu Wenbin has scored 3 direct free kicks in just a few games, and some fans have already shouted that Lu Wenbin is the number one free kick expert in the Bundesliga.

Lu Wenbin gradually has a tendency to become the first free-thrower of Hoffenheim set-pieces.
