Seven Crowns

By the time the Hoffenheim players were celebrating at the hotel that night, news of Hoffenheim's title had spread around the world.

"Hoffenheim 3-2 reverse lore Inter Milan won the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League! "

"Lu Wenbin scored twice in 3 minutes and counted down the lore to help Hoffenheim win the Champions League! "

"Lu Wenbin staged a Champions League hat-trick and became the fourth person in history!" "

"Hoffenheim became the sixth team in Europe and the first team in Germany to win the Triple Crown! "

"Lu Wenbin's 26 goals in the Champions League once again set a record for goals in the European war! "

The overwhelming news, as long as fans who pay a little attention to sports, can see the news of Hoffenheim winning the championship and Lu Wenbin's hat-trick in the final from various TV, newspapers, and Internet media channels.

If the Bundesliga or UEFA Cup has 100 million fans worldwide, then the Champions League has 500 million fans.

The global influence of the UEFA Champions League is definitely not weaker than that of the World Cup.

Aside from the bonus factor of national honor, many senior fans even believe that the technical and tactical level of the Champions League is higher than that of the World Cup, which shows the status of the Champions League in the eyes of fans all over the world.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin's decisive performance in the finals naturally gained the admiration of a large number of fans.

The original fans were very excited about Lu Wenbin's success, while the new fans eagerly searched for everything about Lu Wenbin.

A hat-trick and championship trophy in the Champions League final made Lu Wenbin widely praised by fans all over the world.

After returning to Germany, Hoffenheim held a city-wide parade in the Rhine-Neckar county and the city of Sinsheim, and then held a huge championship celebration in the town square of Sinsheim.

Lu Wenbin and all the Hoffenheim players have become the heroes of Sinsheim.

Even, countless new Hoffenheim fans have been added all over Germany.

The influence of a Champions League champion and Germany's first Triple Crown team is indeed unparalleled.

...

After the championship celebration, the club also held a celebration party, inviting players and their families to dinner.

Then,

Everyone scattered in five directions. The players who participated in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa went back to the national team to report and went to the World Cup.

If there is no World Cup, go on vacation.

Lu Wenbin's Chinese team can't participate in the World Cup, but he can't be idle and go on vacation.

With his continuous and stable performance and his more dazzling performance in the Champions League this season, Lu Wenbin's commercial value has ushered in an earth-shaking change.

Not to mention foreign companies, they have already accepted Lu Wenbin's status as the world's top striker, and now they just pay more attention to it.

Meanwhile, domestic companies also forgot about Lu Wenbin's status as a member of the national football team and flocked to him.

In the past, everyone still worried about the bad image of Chinese football in the hearts of ordinary people, but now they have no scruples at all.

Lu Wenbin's performance and honors in Europe have completely overwhelmed the bad image of the national football team in the hearts of domestic fans, and he has become the most popular sports star, much more popular than Liu Xiang, who won the championship in Athens in 2004.

After all, the base of football fans is much larger than that of track and field fans.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, there are many super big companies and big brands looking for Lu Wenbin to endorse.

Everyone already had a premonition that Lu Wenbin would win the first FIFA Ballon d'Or this year after the merger. After Kaka, Ronaldo, and Messi, he would become the new number one player in world football.

Therefore, many brands and companies have the mentality of signing endorsements before Lu Wenbin wins the Golden Globes, taking advantage of it.

Naturally, the shrewd agent Mendes did not let them do what they wanted.

In addition to really very sincere offers, many companies and brands that wanted to speculate were rejected by Mendes.

Even so, Lu Wenbin's itinerary for filming commercial endorsements and attending press conferences is still very tight.

Not only advertising endorsements, but also invitations from various TV stations, there are also a lot.

There is no World Cup task, no national team training task, but Lu Wenbin will not be relaxed, this is destined to be a busy summer for him.

When Lu Wenbin received the advertisement, the world football has gradually entered the carnival time of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In the opening game of the first day, South Africa's 1-1 draw with Mexico did not get off to a good start, and Mexico did not break the curse of the visiting team's inability to beat the hosts in the World Cup opener.

As the World Cup group stage progressed, some people laughed and some cried.

The 98-year World Cup champion France and the 2006 World Cup champion Italy were eliminated in the group stage, causing a big upset. Portugal and Argentina advanced to the round of 16, retaining some hope of winning the World Cup and threatening Lu Wenbin's Ballon d'Or.

As a result, Portugal was sent back home by Spain 1-0 in the 1/8 finals, and Argentina was bloodbathed 4-0 by Germany in the quarter-finals. Ronaldo and Messi completely lost the possibility of competing with Lu Wenbin for the Golden Globe Award.

As for the stars of other teams, no one can threaten Lu Wenbin in terms of personal data, fame, and popularity.

Lu Wenbin's FIFA Ballon d'Or is stable.

On July 11, local time in South Africa, the 2010 World Cup final, which attracted worldwide attention, was staged at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. The two teams, Spain and the Netherlands, who had never won the World Cup, fought a life-and-death battle.

As a result, in the 116th minute of extra time, Iniesta volleyed to help Spain beat the Netherlands. Spain won the Hercules Cup and became the World Cup champion for the first time after winning the European Cup in 2008.

The Netherlands can only continue their uncrowned king.

When the hustle and bustle of the World Cup faded away, fans and the media turned their attention to the summer transfer market.

And in the summer of 2010, the most concerned transfer target in the world was undoubtedly Lu Wenbin.

Although the summer transfer period has already started on July 1, Lu Wenbin's contract renewal or transfer has not yet been finalized.

After the season ended, the Hoffenheim club tried to find Mendes to renew Lu Wenbin's contract.

However, the liquidated damages of 300 million euros requested by Hoffenheim and the annual salary of only 10 million euros after tax are completely unworthy of Lu Wenbin's current worth.

As for a higher annual salary, it's not that Hoffenheim can't afford it, but they dare not offer it, which is too damaging to the team's salary structure.

The after-tax annual salary of 10 million euros has been greatly increased compared to last season. But Lu Wenbin's performance of more than 90 goals in a season, 26 goals in the Champions League, leading the team to win the Triple Crown, and booking the Ballon d'Or is completely inconsistent.

The annual salary of Ronaldo and Messi is higher than that of Lu Wenbin, which is unacceptable to both Lu Wenbin and Mendes.

Now Lu Wenbin must have the first annual salary in football to be able to talk about it.

But Hoffenheim, as a German club, obviously cannot meet Lu Wenbin's requirements.

Therefore, the contract renewal negotiations between Hoffenheim and Lu Wenbin have not progressed from the end of the season to the end of the World Cup, and the differences between the two parties are too great. (seeking a monthly ticket)
