Seven Crowns

In the following days, while training, Hoffenheim used friendly matches to test the team's strength and player status, respectively with Rostock who dropped into the Bundesliga, Galatasaray from the Turkish Premier League, and Kaiserslautern from the Bundesliga. A friendly match was played.

　　 Although he was hit by Blackburn in the UK, Lu Wenbin believed that he would find his place one day, and it did not affect his next training and competition.

　　 Hoffenheim all won the next three friendly matches. Lu Wenbin scored a total of 8 goals and had several assists.

　　 It's not that I can't score more goals, but every time I am replaced by the coach in advance, I want to give other people a chance to find the game, even if it is a substitute.

　　 Speaking of it, the biggest change in the team is the goalkeeper position.

　　 The main goalkeeper of last season was originally No. 1 Daniel Haas, but it may be that he was too excited to win the double crown last season. During the summer vacation, he played too much, his weight soared, and his state also fell sharply.

　　 So, Haas was naturally included in the penalty list by Ralph. The first few friendly matches were the original substitute goalkeeper No. 27 Ozcan.

　　 And Ozcan also firmly seized the opportunity. The first three friendly matches played well, and the next two friendly matches completely put Haas on the bench, not even a minute of playing time.

　　 In the 2008/2009 season, Hoffenheim, who was promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time, played in Europe for the first time, and his boss was not short of money, was just about to show his fist, but Daniel Haas estimated that he would lose his main position.

　　 The news that Ronaldinho, the Golden Globe Mr. Ronaldinho, who was late for training every day, was sold at a price cut by Barcelona in July and switched to AC Milan after his fame and success also made Lu Wenbin even more wary.

Haas is one of the heroes of Hoffenheim’s promotion and winning the championship last season. Ronaldinho is Barcelona’s core and world-famous Mr. Golden Ball. He was abandoned by the team after his state of decline, reflecting his career. The cruelty of football.

　　 Lu Wenbin secretly warned himself that even with the help of the system, he must know how to cherish and discipline himself.

　　 Otherwise, the one who may become a world superstar may not reach the height that he should have reached.

　　 After the next three friendly matches, Lu Wenbin gained a total of 6,200 points of experience, and his level of experience rose to level 12, 58212 per 100,000.

　　 On August 8, all the club members gathered in the restaurant to watch the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Lu Wenbin was full of pride with his teammates.

　　 A day later, on August 10th, Hoffenheim officially started the journey of the 2008/2009 season. The first game was the first round of the German Cup against the German Northern Regional League's Zonites.

　　 The German Cup is divided into 6 rounds. In the first round, a total of 64 teams participated, divided into 2 groups.

18 teams from Group A and 14 teams from last season's top Group B (including the Bundesliga relegation teams) are included in the first group, and the other 4 low-ranking Group B teams (including the Bundesliga promotion team) And 28 lower-level teams are classified into the second group.

　　The game is the first group against the second group, and the team is determined by drawing lots. The lower-level team in the first round has the right to play at home.

　　 All competitions are played in the form of a tie. If a tie is reached within 90 minutes, the tie must be decided in overtime.

　　 If the winner cannot be determined in overtime, the penalty kick will be taken to determine the winner.

This is also the reason why although the German Cup is a champion, the single game experience given by the system is only twice as high as that of the Bundesliga: because there are not only Bundesliga teams, but also Bundesliga, Germany C, and regional leagues. team.

　　 After the neutralization, the experience of each game will not be given much, and it is definitely not as good as the Bundesliga where all the top teams compete.

　　 For a fourth-level regional league team, Hoffenheim does not need to play any psychological tactics, just face it directly.

　　 Therefore, on August 9th, at the pre-match press conference, Ralph directly announced the starting lineup for this game one day in advance.

　　 As expected by Lu Wenbin, No. 27 goalkeeper Ozjan won the start and Daniel Haas was pressed on the bench.

　　 If Ozjan continues to perform well in the official competition, Daniel Haas will really be cold.

　　 In addition, the right back was replaced by Andres Baker, who the club had just brought in from Stuttgart.

　　 This is a defensive star who is already well-known in Germany and has attracted the attention of the national team coach Loew.

　　 However, Baker was still hired by the wealthy Hope with a higher annual salary, and Stuttgart failed to keep him.

　　 In the previous training camp, Baker has demonstrated above-standard passing, assists, and physical abilities, and he is full of typical German fighting spirit and blood, and has obvious effects on both sides of the team's offensive and defensive side.

　　 Therefore, despite being a rookie, he got a starting opportunity in Hoffenheim's first official game of the season.

　　 The change in the forward line is that the 22-year-old Obasi was summoned back to China and followed the Nigerian Olympic team to play in the Beijing Olympics.

　　 Therefore, Dembaba got a starting opportunity to partner with Ibisevic and Lu Wenbin as three forwards.

　　 If Dembaba can seize the opportunity, he may not be able to put Obasi on the bench, who has delayed the pre-season training.

　　 Others are not much different from last season's main lineup.

　　 However, it can be predicted that even those marginal substitutes will definitely get a lot of opportunities to play in the third line of the team this season, so that no one will play 0 games in a season like last season.

　　 At 16:30 on August 10th, the first round of the 2008/2009 German Cup of the German Cup match between Zonites VS Hoffenheim started on time at the home of Zonites.

　　Dronites wanted to beat Hoffenheim and staged a dragon slaying story~www.ltnovel.com~ the last news or something.

　　 However, for the first time in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim, who had long wanted to do a good job, did not give Zonites this opportunity.

　　 In the 5th minute, Eduardo passed the ball to Lu Wenbin in the penalty area after connecting two people at the front of the penalty area.

　　Although a defender from Zonites rushed over and tried to block the gun, Lu Wenbin's shot was still a step faster than him.

　　 Lu Wenbin pushed the ball into the dead corner of the goal accurately, and the goalkeeper was beyond reach, and could only watch the ball go into the net.

　　 Then, the game completely entered the rhythm of Hoffenheim.

　　 Eduardo, Salihović, Dembaba, and Ibisevic all passed in the halftime of Zonites, and then passed the ball to Lu Wenbin to complete the final blow.

　　 Even Lu Wenbin can occasionally come to perform.

　　Although the players of Zonites are also adult professional players, after all, their strength is too far behind the Bundesliga players. Lu Wenbin's dribbling and speed can also occasionally exceed others.

　　 90 minutes later, the score on the big screen is 0-6, with the home team ahead and the away team behind.

　　 Lu Wenbin completed a hat-trick in the first half only, and then was replaced by Ralph in the second half.

　　 In the third-line battle this season, Ralph must always pay attention to saving Lu Wenbin's physical fitness to avoid Lu Wenbin not running when there are key games in the later period.

　　 In this German Cup, Lu Wenbin contributed 3 goals 6000 points + won 4000 points, a total of 10,000 experience rewards, so that Lu Wenbin's level experience rose to 68212/100,000.

　　 After the first round of the German Cup, the new Bundesliga season is about to kick off.

　　 The next game will be the first real Bundesliga game in Hoffenheim's history.
