Chapter 211 Shock

A day later, on November 29, after 10 am on the match day, Kate arrived at a hotel near the Karl Benz Stadium in Mannheim in a white BMW.

Lu Wenbin picked Kate up at the door of this hotel.

Lu Wenbin's eyes lit up when he saw Kate getting off a high-end BMW that didn't look cheap.

After months of not seeing each other, Kate has gotten even prettier.

Of course, Kate's car also confirmed Lu Wenbin's guess that Kate's family conditions are not bad.

When Kate saw Lu Wenbin, she felt the same way.

After the two hugged, Kate gestured to Lu Wenbin's height and said, "Lu, you have become taller, stronger, and more handsome!"

Lu Wenbin also praised: "Kate, you are even more beautiful!"

Then, Kate handed over the key to the parking officer and entered the hotel with Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin had lunch with Kate first, and then took Kate to the room he opened for Kate, and gave Kate the room card and the game ticket.

Kate will take a lunch break before going to the game in the afternoon.

As for Lu Wenbin, of course he can no longer accompany Kate. He is going to return to the team and make preparations before the game.

At 15:00 in the Karl Benz Stadium, during the warm-up before the game, Lu Wenbin, who had been paying attention to the stands, saw Kate appear at the place where the family members of the players were, and waved to him.

Lu Wenbin also waved to Kate happily, and then warmed up with even more fighting spirit.

The teammates also saw Kate, and couldn't help but sigh that Lu Wenbin has a good eye. This Kate looks really beautiful, and she also has a kind of intellectual beauty, which is rare.

Then everyone became more determined to show love to Lu Wenbin.

Kate, who was watching the game for the first time, found a seat, greeted Lu Wenbin, and looked at the excited fans around her, feeling quite novel.

At the same time, Kate also saw a lot of banners and spray paintings with Lu Wenbin's name on them, which proved Lu Wenbin's popularity in this stadium.

"Lu's achievements in football are really extraordinary, and he is already a big star with countless fans!" Kate thought in this way.

Then,

Several female fans around began to greet Kate with a smile, and Kate chatted with them lively.

After chatting with her, she found out that this location is where the family members or girlfriends of the players sit, which made Kate a little embarrassed.

Everyone regarded her as Lu Wenbin's girlfriend. Although she explained something, everyone was unmoved, so she stopped talking.

After several months of communication and understanding, Kate really felt that Lu Wenbin was very agreeable in all aspects and he was a good match.

She could also see that Lu Wenbin was interested in her, but after all, boys should take the initiative to do this kind of thing. She was going to see what Lu Wenbin said first.

Just because you invite yourself to watch the game and sit in a seat in the player's family area in the stands does not mean that the two are automatically in a relationship.

As time went by, the Karl Benz Stadium gradually filled up, and many people in the square outside were unable to enter the stadium.

As Hoffenheim's performance is getting better and better, it has also attracted more and more fans from other places to become supporters of Hoffenheim.

These fans are very shocked by the speed of Hoffenheim's rise as a country club, and they are also very inspirational, so they like it very much.

This game not only attracted tens of thousands of local fans in Sinsheim, but also countless fans from surrounding cities, who also came to witness Hoffenheim's half-time championship in advance.

It's just that this game is too important and there are too many people coming, so many fans are destined to be outside the stadium and not allowed to enter.

At 15:30 on November 29th, with the whistle of the referee, the match between Hoffenheim and Bielefeld in the 15th round of the 2008/2009 Bundesliga season officially began.

This game is important for Hoffenheim, but not for Bielefeld. They just want to earn more points and stay out of the relegation zone.

Bielefeld is currently ranked 14th in the Bundesliga, only 2 points away from the relegation zone.

Therefore, Hoffenheim encountered an extreme defensive counterattack from their opponents in this game.

Bielefeld has an extreme defensive formation of 541. Not only are there three central defenders in the penalty area, there is a midfielder outside the penalty area, and there is also a midfielder No. 5 Kauf who is full-time to mark Lu Wenbin.

Wherever Lu Wenbin went, Kauf followed him, just like Makoto Hasebe of the Hamburg team.

For the relegation team, even 1 point is crucial.

Facing Hoffenheim, who is number one in the Bundesliga, Bielefeld did not have much hope of winning at all, but set his goal on a draw from the beginning.

As long as they can draw with Hoffenheim at the Karl Benz Stadium and score 1 point, it will be a big victory.

Therefore, Hoffenheim encountered a lot of difficulties from the beginning of the game.

Not only Lu Wenbin was closely guarded, but Eduardo, Salihovic, Ibisevic, Obasi, who played in rotation, etc., all had to face the opponent's heavy defense.

Within 30 meters of the goal, there are people everywhere, and the space is small. Dribbling technology can no longer solve the problem.

Can't get past people at all.

In the 4th minute, Eduardo knocked down the opponent's lower back with a beautiful bicycle ride, but was immediately caught by the opponent's two central defenders and lost the ball.

In the 7th minute, Lu Wenbin ran a fleeting gap in the penalty area, and Salihovic, who was holding the ball, also saw it and passed the ball.

But the opposing defender Schuler fell to the ground in time to tackle and poked the ball away, but Lu Wenbin didn't even catch the ball.

Facing Bielefeld, who was almost defending with a bus, Lu Wenbin's off-ball running in 19/19 could continue to occasionally run out of a gap.

But his teammates have been unable to pass assists in time, and even simply can't see the fleeting opportunities.

After all, Eduardo and others are not the kind of well-known master offensive organizers, and their ability to find loopholes and pass assists cannot be compared with a genius like Ronaldinho.

Within 10 minutes, although his teammates tried their best to create opportunities for Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin only got one shot from the penalty area.

In the end, he failed to penetrate the restricted area full of people, and was blocked by the opponent's defense personnel from the bottom line.

Seeing this situation, Lu Wenbin began to retreat from the penalty area, increasing his running range.

Anyway, his physical fitness is fine now, and his ability to shoot from outside the penalty area is also fine.

Finally, in the 18th minute, Lu Wenbin threw off Kauf's personal marking, received Ibisevic's header ferry from the penalty area about 25 meters away from the goal, and shot angrily at the ball.

The ball passed through the penalty area like a cannonball, and the speed of the ball was so fast that the opposing defender didn't even touch the ball when he tried to clear the siege.

Then, the ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Erhoff tried his best but failed to touch the ball, and could only watch the ball drill into the goal from his eyes.

In the 18th minute, Lu Wenbin scored a long-range goal from outside the penalty area.

Gerold, the live commentator of the Karl Benz Stadium, yelled in the broadcasting room: "Toooooooooooooooooooor..."

"Hoffenheim took the lead in scoring the goal, and it was No. 9..."

Grodd paused, and the more than 20,000 home fans in the stands immediately shouted in unison: "Lu..."

The loud sound made Kate feel her eardrums tremble.

However, Kate was also shocked by the momentum of all the fans chanting Lu Wenbin's name in unison.

Kate also has a more intuitive feeling for Lu Wenbin's achievements and influence on the football field, and is more appreciative and satisfied with Lu Wenbin.
