Seven Crowns

After the German Cup final, there will be a week off before the 30th round of the Bundesliga against Jena at home.

Therefore, Ralph gave the team a full three days off to let everyone have a good rest, relax the nerves that have been tense after the winter break, and let the players enjoy the joy of winning the championship.

It was not until April 23 that the team members returned to the training base and started daily training.

The glory of the German Cup is a thing of the past, fans can continue to indulge in the epic German Cup victory, but the team must calm down and prepare for the league.

Now, Hoffenheim and Borussia Monchengladbach have a combined 56 points, but Hoffenheim is ahead because of the goal difference, ranking first in the Bundesliga.

If this ranking is maintained until the end of the season, Hoffenheim will win the Bundesliga and complete the league and cup double.

Although this league is not a first-class league, the gold content of the double crown is much lower, but it is also a rare honor.

Especially for a country club like Hoffenheim that has never even played in the Second Division before, let alone a championship title, even if it is a Second Division champion, it is definitely worth the team's best efforts. strive.

Therefore, on the first day of resumption of training, Dietmar Hope made a rare appearance on the training ground to give a lecture, encouraging the players to make persistent efforts to win the league championship and complete the achievement of the league and cup doubles. .

Even Bayern Munich can beat them, and these opponents in the second division are naturally even more of a problem.

What Hoffenheim has to overcome is the mentality of the team itself.

Hoffenheim, who has been fully integrated and cooperated tacitly, has no doubts about winning the second division championship as long as they are not careless and proud to underestimate the enemy.

In addition to verbal encouragement, Hope, who is not poor in money, naturally has a more realistic championship bonus to motivate everyone.

After the German Cup, everyone in the team has a huge amount of winning bonuses added to their salary cards.

This time around, Hope promised a higher bonus for the Bundesliga than the German Cup.

Because, after winning this championship, it is not only a league championship, but also a double crown, promotion to the first division and other incidental honors and benefits.

After the boss left, the whole team went into training with enthusiasm.

In fact, even if Hope didn't come to lecture, everyone's enthusiasm would not be low.

These players in Hoffenheim, although they are all good, but none of them have any decent honors.

The closest thing to an honor is probably Obasi, who followed Nigeria's youth team to that year's World Youth Championship final in the Netherlands in 2005.

However, it is a pity that Nigeria met Argentina with Messi in the final, and lost to the opponent without any accident, and only won the runner-up.

In this context, Hoffenheim's players are naturally hungry for honor, and a German Cup winner will not satisfy them.

What's more, there are good bonuses to stimulate.

Lu Wenbin, who had a sense of belonging to Hoffenheim and kissed the team logo at Sinsheim Municipal Square, was no exception, and he was also active in training.

After winning the German Cup, Lu Wenbin received 1,000 assists for 1 game, 4,000 points for 2 goals, and 4,000 points for winning, a total of 9,000 experience points, and the level of experience rose to 10,212/100,000 at level 11.

At the same time, after winning the championship, Lu Wenbin also completed the task of winning the German Cup, and was rewarded with 20,000 experience points and 10 skill points. The level experience rose to 30,212/100,000, and the skill point balance increased to 11 points.

After spending 9 skill points to add points from 13/13 to 16/16 without the ball, Lu Wenbin kept the remaining 2 skill points.

If Lu Wenbin gains 10 skill points at the next level, Lu Wenbin will have 12 skill points.

At that time, you can directly add the off-ball running to the full value of 20/20.

At that time, 20/20 off the ball running and 20/20 shooting will definitely be the king of the penalty area. Inzaghi and Ruud van Nistelrooy will have to kneel in front of his two full attributes.

Even if it has not yet reached the full value, it is only 16/16 running without the ball, which has already surprised the coaches and teammates in training.

During the training game, it was already difficult for the team's backup guards to guard against Lu Wenbin, even if he was close to him, it was useless.

Because Lu Wenbin's insight into the gap is stronger, using acceleration, deceleration, sudden turnaround, etc., it is easy to pull out a short gap to catch the ball and shoot.

As long as the passing teammates can see Lu Wenbin's movement and cooperate to the point, Lu Wenbin can score five or six goals in a training game as simple as eating and drinking.

Even if Lu Wenbin is changed to the bench, his teammates are replaced, and the defender who defends him is changed to the main lineup, Lu Wenbin can still run a lot of opportunities and shoot successfully.

Like the German Cup final, he was completely stared at by Bayern Munich's midfielder Otell and the back line. In the whole game, he could only rely on a surprise midfield lob and a free kick to score. It is impossible to appear in Lu Wenbin's game. on the body.

This rate of progress made Hoffenheim's teammates and coaches cry out for pervertedness.

At the same time, everyone has more confidence in winning the Bundesliga championship and double championship.

...

A few days later, on April 27, 2008, in the 30th round of the 2007/2008 Bundesliga, Hoffenheim VS Jena at home, the Hope Stadium was not only full, but no less than 10,000 fans gathered outside the stadium. Not allowed to enter.

In Hoffenheim, which just won the German Cup, not only all the villagers of Huo Village were dispatched, and the number of local fans in Sinsheim had greatly increased, but also fans from nearby cities flocked to Huo Village to watch Hoffenheim’s home stadium like a pilgrimage. Contest.

As a result, the Hope Stadium, which has a capacity of only more than 5,000 people, cannot fit at all. Fans who arrive late and have no tickets can only linger outside, unable to enter, and reluctant to leave.

Fortunately, the city government was well prepared, dispatched police to maintain order, and installed several loudspeakers outside to receive the on-site commentator, so that fans outside could also hear the commentator's live broadcast.

With the momentum of just beating Bayern Munich to win the German Cup, Hoffenheim only lost 1-5 to Hoffenheim in the second-to-last ranking in the semi-final of the German Cup with the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans inside and outside the stadium. Mu's Jena launched an unreasonable attack.

I had been resting for a week, and I had accumulated a lot of strength and had a long and abundant physical energy.

Coupled with the confidence and strength brought by winning the German Cup to the players, as well as the temptation of winning the double, Hoffenheim's attacking power in this game has been improved by almost a notch.

The teammates are very strong, and Lu Wenbin, who is already good in strength, and now has increased his running without the ball by 3 points, is even more unstoppable.
