Just when the coaching staff was undecided, on the last day of training before the game on January 31, after Lu Wenbin, who had been promoted to a higher point, showed more accurate shooting skills, the coaches were more inclined to start Lu Wenbin.

Then, the main striker Demba Ba strained his big leg muscle at the end of training and needed to recuperate for a week, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

On the morning of 1 February, Hoffenheim traveled by car to Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse, west of Frankfurt.

In the afternoon, at the pre-match press conference of Wayne vs Hoffenheim, Ralph Rangnick announced the starting line-up for Hoffenheim.

In this game, Hoffenheim played a 433 formation, and the three forwards were No. 19 Vedad Ibisevic in the center, No. 20 Chinedu Obasi on the right wing, and No. 90 Lu Wenbin on the left wing.

Obasi is a right-footed player, while Lu Wenbin has a better balance between his left and right feet, so he is placed on the left by Ralph.

However, in Ralph's tactical arrangement, this game is dominated by Lu Wenbin. Both Ibisevic and Obasi covered Lu Wenbin and created opportunities for Lu Wenbin to shoot.

A 17-year-old starts the game and becomes the finishing point of the attack, which should be able to catch the opponent off guard.

At 18 o'clock in the afternoon of February 1, 2008 local time in Germany, with the referee's whistle, the first league game after the winter break, the 18th round of the 2007/2008 German Second Division officially began the match between Wiesbaden and Hoffenheim.

At the beginning of the game, Hoffenheim dominated the game and played offensive football at Wayne's home stadium.

Bundesliga coach Ralph Rannick, who coached Stuttgart and Schalke 04, has been playing attacking football since he joined Hoffenheim.

The emphasis on offense and light on defense, coupled with the fact that the owner Hope invested nearly 20 million euros in reinforcements this season, the adjustment and tacit understanding of the lineup are not enough, which is the main reason for the team's poor results in the first half of the season.

But after the run-in in the first half of the season, the tacit understanding of the powerful players that Hope has invested heavily in is getting better and better, and Hoffenheim's attack power is getting stronger and stronger.

That's why Hoffenheim were able to move up from the relegation zone to eighth place in the table after 17 rounds in the first half of the season.

In the second half of the season, Hoffenheim had a better understanding and stronger attacking power. Even away from home, Ralph's determination to play attacking football has not been shaken.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Wenbin was able to get a league start so quickly, because the striker has three positions and the number of places is relatively large.

Hoffenheim's offensive was fierce.

In the 3rd minute, No. 23 forward Sejed Salihovic passed two people in the midfield and passed Obasi in seconds, and Obasi crossed from the side, and Ibisevic headed the goal.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the goal had gone a little higher, Hoffenheim would have scored in the opening three minutes.

Even if the ball didn't go in, it scared the Wayne fans in the stands enough, and then everyone began to boo Hoffenheim, shouting slogans such as "German Abu" and "Golden Yuan Football" to mock Hoffenheim.

Because of Hopper's assets, many Germans believe that Hope is Germany's Abramovich, the executioner who undermines Germany's overall football and financial health, and is full of envy for Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim has been treated like this when he comes to away games, and Hope has even received death threats from extreme fans of his opponents.

This is also one of the reasons why the coaching staff is afraid that the young Lu Wenbin will not be able to withstand the pressure away from home.

Not only is it a matter of responsibility and pressure to start, but also the scolding from away fans and even extreme fans, and it is indeed a bit risky to start a 17-year-old underage child.

In fact, Lu Wenbin did suffer some interruptions after the start of the match.

Especially when he was running on the side near the sideline, he could even clearly hear what the fans on the sidelines were scolding, including racial discrimination and scolding against Lu Wenbin's skin color.

Lu Wenbin tried to find out the person who insulted his skin color and complained to the referee, but was pulled away by Carlos Eduardo.

Eduardo told Lu Wenbin that this kind of verbal abuse by a single fan could not be caught. Even if you complain to the referee, the fans won't admit it, and the referee can't do anything about them.

For the sake of the smooth running of the game, the referee generally does not pay attention to the player's complaints.

If the fans scolded twice and had to stop the game to arrest someone, the 90-minute football game would not be played smoothly.

Unless it is the kind of racist slogans that many fans blatantly shout together, or even put up slogans, the Football Association will punish the home club after the game, and basically will not punish a single fan.

And, even in that case, there are very few stoppages for the game, and the punishment is only after the game.

As a player, the best way to combat this abuse and discrimination on the pitch is to score goals, and to score a lot of goals, to make the home team lose by a big score, and to let those home fans know what the consequences of their insulting of the away team players are.

After listening to Eduardo's advice, Lu Wenbin turned his attention to the game, and he vowed to give Wayne's fans a good look.

Although Lu Wenbin's speed, dribbling, and physique are not outstanding in the Bundesliga, they are not lagging behind. His 8/8 run without the ball can't even reach the passing line for the striker, but Hoffenheim's overall quality can actively create space for him.

Therefore, just a few minutes later, in the 8th minute, Lu Wenbin got a good chance to shoot on goal.

Eduardo played the ball down the right to Obasi, who passed back to Salihovic, who in turn passed to Ibisevic in the penalty area with his back to goal.

The flurry of passes disrupted the Wayne team's defense, and they couldn't tell who Hoffenheim's offensive finisher was. Subconsciously, they feel that running with the ball and trying to break the ball is the best way to do it.

As a result, in addition to the people who were still around Obasi and Salihovic, the three defenders in the penalty area rushed to Ibisevic.

The goalkeeper also stood nervously between Ibisevic and the goal to prevent him from turning and hitting the goal.

However, in the face of the siege of several people on the other side, how could Ibisevic, who had the ball with his back, turn around and hit the goal so easily?

The Wayne players were simply stunned by Hoffenheim's string of passes, ignoring the practical difficulties Ibyševich faced with his back to the ball.

So, when they all subconsciously rushed to Ibisevic, Lu Wenbin, who rushed to the penalty area from the left side, was in an unguarded gap.

This is not the credit of Lu Wenbin's attribute of only 8/8 running without the ball, but the overall strength of the team's attacking line in the front court completely disrupted the opponent's backline, allowing Lu Wenbin to get an unguarded opportunity in front of goal.
