Seven Crowns

In the second half, after Lu Wenbin, who was the most threatening, was not on the court, St. Pauli, who was playing at home, really launched a fierce counterattack amid the cheering of the fans.

They scored 2 goals in the second half to end the game 3-3 and end the winning streak after Hoffenheim's winter break.

However, the hearts of the Hoffenheim players are flying to the next German Cup final, and it is an away game, so it is no wonder that they were equalized by their opponents.

So Ralph didn't blame everyone after the game. Just with everyone in the locker room waiting for the results of the other game that started at the same time.

A few minutes later, the result of Borussia Monchengladbach's away game against Jena came in, which was a surprise and also relieved Hoffenheim's players and coaches.

In the face of Jena, the second-to-last in the German Cup and the semi-final of the German Cup, which was bloodbathed by Hoffenheim 5-1, Monchengladbach failed to win the game on the road, but was drawn 2-2 by Jena. .

In this way, Hoffenheim can continue to beat Borussia Monchengladbach to rank first in the Bundesliga standings with the advantage of goal difference, and everyone can go to the final of the German Cup with peace of mind.

In the game with St. Pauli, because the team did not win, Lu Wenbin only got 1 assist, 500 + 2 goals, 2000 points, and a total of 2500 experience points.

Fortunately, Lu Wenbin has gained enough experience in the previous games and the German Cup semi-finals.

Although he only got 2,500 points of reward in this game, with the previous experience, his experience has also risen to 51,212/50,000 at level 11, which exceeds the experience required for leveling up.

After the experience exceeds the upgrade line, the system will automatically upgrade. Lu Wenbin's level experience has become 12.12/100,000 at level 12, and he has received an upgrade reward of 10 skill points.

Now, Lu Wenbin can add three more attribute points before the German Cup.

With Lu Wenbin's team's first core and offensive finisher established, it is clear that Lu Wenbin needs stronger off-the-ball running ability so that he can more easily receive passes from his teammates in the gap to form a shot.

In the previous games, although Lu Wenbin could get several shots in each game, in fact, because Lu Wenbin's off-ball running attribute was too low, there were more frontcourt opportunities created by teammates that were wasted. , the ball was not received by Lu Wenbin.

If Lu Wenbin's shooting accuracy is not too high, in fact, Lu Wenbin's ability to create shooting opportunities in every game is not qualified to be an offensive terminator.

Therefore, this is also the benefit of Lu Wenbin's raising the shooting attribute to the full value of 20/20: as long as he is given a chance to shoot, he has a high probability of scoring.

This is why the head coach is willing to promote him to the core, and why his teammates are willing to serve him and deliver cannonballs for him.

Because everyone knows that as long as Lu Wenbin creates a shooting opportunity, Lu Wenbin has a high chance of sending the ball into the opponent's goal, and it is rarely wasted.

The other strikers, Ibisevic, Aubasi and Dembaba, can't do this. Their shooting accuracy is much worse than that of Lu Wenbin.

Even though those forwards have higher ability to run without the ball than Lu Wenbin and get more shooting opportunities than Lu Wenbin, they have a greater chance of making waves and score far fewer goals than Lu Wenbin.

Therefore, with the full value of shooting attributes, Lu Wenbin needs to run more without the ball to receive the pass from his teammates.

So, Lu Wenbin quickly made a decision, using 9 skill points to upgrade the 10/10 off-ball running to 13/13, and the remaining 1 skill point is stored there for later use.

The effect of adding points to system skills is immediate.

The day after the match against St. Pauli, Hoffenheim had their last training session before the German Cup final.

Just played a game,

I have to prepare for the final of the German Cup again, and I don’t have time for vacation, so this training is not very intensive, just to keep everyone in physical condition.

However, in this ordinary training, Lu Wenbin's ability to find a space to get a shot has surprised the coaches and teammates in the team.

The full value is only 20 points of various attributes, and each liter will bring a lot of changes, not to mention adding 3 points.

After Lu Wenbin added 3 points without the ball, his ability to catch the ball during training suddenly increased a lot, and he got a lot more shooting opportunities.

This surprised the coaches and teammates, and they had more confidence and expectations for the German Cup.

Although the outside media have commented that Hoffenheim's loss to Bayern Munich and their first defeat after the winter break is a matter of course, but how could Hoffenheim's coaches and players admit defeat in advance?

Now that they are all in the finals, who would be satisfied before the finals start and expect to be the runner-up and be satisfied?

Even in the face of the Bundesliga hegemons Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim also wants to give it a go.

The team's core Lu Wenbin's ability to run without the ball suddenly rose sharply before the game. Although I don't know the reason, Hoffenheim's coaches and players are naturally very happy.

You know, Bayern Munich's back line is no better than the opponents Hoffenheim faced in the Bundesliga.

With Lu Wenbin's previous ability to run without the ball, it is a bit difficult to get a chance to catch the ball and shoot in the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, Lu Wenbin's ability to run without the ball has soared, so that everyone's confidence in the final of the German Cup is much higher.

Although we don't know if we can beat Bayern, everyone is more confident in the possibility of Lu Wenbin scoring in the final.

As long as there is a goal, there is the possibility of defeating the opponent.

...

On April 18, the day before the final, the entire Hoffenheim team drove to Frankfurt and then flew to the capital, Berlin: the annual DFB-Pokal final is held at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

The DFB-Pokal is almost unnoticed before the final, even if there isn't much coverage in the German local media.

But when it came to the finals, not only the media in Germany, but also many media in Europe and the world paid attention, and sent reporters and commentators to report on the spot, and there were dozens of countries that broadcast live.

After all, this is a cup winner in Europe's top league.

Therefore, when the Hoffenheim team came out of Berlin Airport, they were surrounded and interviewed by a large group of reporters in the airport lobby.

Except for the head coach Ralph Rangnick, no one else has seen so many reporters' concentrated interviews and filming, and the flash light almost blinded Lu Wenbin and others.

These reporters, in addition to Germany, there are also British, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Brazilian, can be said to be all over the world.
