Because to see the European Golden Boot award ceremony in advance, most of the fans came early, and the Rhein Neckar Arena was full early.

Except for a small number of fans who came late, the seats in the stands were basically filled by Hoffenheim fans and Lu Wenbin's fans.

Of course, there is no shortage of away fans in Sevilla.

But Spanish fans don't like to travel with their teams on the road, so even if it's a Champions League game, the number of away fans who come to cheer for Sevilla is very small, only a few hundred, and completely inconspicuous at the 30,000-strong Rhein Neckar Arena.

At 7 p.m. on October 20, 2009, the award ceremony officially began.

Amid the excited shouts of the live broadcast and the applause of the audience, Lu Wenbin walked out of the players' tunnel, and then received the prize of the European Golden Boot Award from the president of Adidas Europe and showed it around.

The fans gave warm applause and cheers to congratulate Lu Wenbin on his award, and dozens of media reporters around Lu Wenbin also slapped Lu Wenbin fiercely.

At the age of 19, Lu Wenbin not only set a European Golden Boot scoring record, but also the youngest European Golden Boot winner in football history.

Coupled with the shortlisting for the European Ballon d'Or and Lu Wenbin's goal tally to the next level in the new season, many people already have a premonition that a world-class goalscorer is being born.

When Lu Wenbin accepted the award, the picture of him receiving the award was also cut to the big screen by the live broadcast signal, so that the fans who were far away could see it more clearly.

Amid everyone's cheers, the live camera focused on the VIP box at the Rhein Neckar Arena.

Then, the audience at the scene and in front of all the television sets saw German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the VIP box and an Eastern leader next to her, both of whom were smiling and applauding Lu Wenbin, who received the European Golden Boot.

He was accompanied by senior German and Chinese officials.

Hoffenheim chairman Dietmar Hoppe, who was supposed to be the owner of the pitch, could only stand on the sidelines as an accompaniment.

There was an uproar at the scene, and the Hoffenheim fans were suddenly very proud, and the applause suddenly became much louder.

At this time, some viewers who have watched the current political news remembered that the Chinese ***** was visiting various European countries during this time, and he happened to be visiting Germany in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, today he appeared with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Rhein-Neckar Arena to watch the Hoffenheim Champions League match.

The audience's puzzlement about the tightness of security measures in this Champions League group stage was finally revealed, and it turned out that the leaders of the two world-class powers, Germany and China, came to watch the game, no wonder the security and police increased several times.

Lu Wenbin, who was happily showing the Golden Boot prize to the audience, also saw his national leader on the LCD screen at the scene, and he was also stunned for a while.

Although he usually doesn't pay much attention to current political news, the vice chairman happened to be visiting Germany in the past few days, and Lu Wenbin naturally saw it a few times on TV news and recognized it.

But how did the vice chairman end up here?

National leaders are idle and have time to watch football matches when they visit other countries?

Or what is the connection between Hoffenheim and China that is worth ***** visiting Germany to watch Hoffenheim's Champions League game live?

Obviously, the time of the country's leaders cannot be idle, and Hoffenheim's only contact with China is Lu Wenbin.

The vice-president must have come to see Lu Wenbin's European Golden Boot award ceremony and his Champions League match.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenbin was a little uneasy.

In sports in China, only Olympic champions are generally likely to be received collectively by the country's leaders.

And Chinese football, which has always been annoying, has never had this kind of treatment.

Some time ago, Lu Wenbin publicly stated that he would never join a foreign nationality and play for a foreign country, and now the vice chairman has come to watch his European Golden Boot award ceremony and the Champions League match.

Is this a direct affirmation and approval from the country's leaders?

Lu Wenbin has also heard the gossip that the leader loves football, and now it seems to be true.

Today, we must not go wrong and let the vice chairman watch Hoffenheim lose live.

Lu Wenbin has to score, and he has to lead Hoffenheim to win.

With excitement, Lu Wenbin took the microphone to thank his teammates and fans after showing the Golden Boot prize, and then ended his European Golden Boot Award ceremony.

Back in the locker room, Lu Wenbin naturally won the congratulations and envy of his teammates.

Many people took selfies with Lu Wenbin's golden boots, or took photos with Lu Wenbin holding golden boots.

He also congratulated the Chinese leaders on their visit to Germany for visiting Lu Wenbin's Golden Boot Award ceremony and Champions League matches.

After today, it is estimated that it is impossible for the Chinese Football Association to ignore Lu Wenbin.

Moreover, after Lu Wenbin joined the Chinese football national team, he must also be the first core treatment, from the Football Association officials to coaches to teammates, no one dares to stumble on Lu Wenbin.

So, today Hoffenheim has to win.

At 19:45 on the evening of October 20, with the referee's whistle, Hoffenheim hosted Sevilla in the third round of Group G of the 2009/2010 Champions League group stage.

Hoffenheim are still in the traditional 433 attacking formation, while Sevilla are in a balanced 442 formation.

However, as a La Liga team, Sevilla actually plays attacking football, and will not be conservative against the attacking Hoffenheim and the European Golden Boot Lu Wenbin.

Therefore, the two sides started a battle from the first minute.

On the Hoffenheim side, probably because ***** came to watch the game in person, it had a certain psychological impact on Lu Wenbin, and he was a little impatient, so his opening performance was not very good.

In the 8th and 17th minutes, Lu Wenbin had two chances to shoot with his feet, but failed to score.

One of the shots from the no-box zone was saved by Sevilla goalkeeper Barras, and another long-range shot from outside the no-box area was deflected wide of the net by himself.

There was another free kick opportunity, and Lu Wenbin also failed to hit the woodwork.

Sevilla, on the other hand, opened the scoring in the 22nd minute.

It was a quick counter-attack from Sevilla after a Salihovic denie, which was eventually driven into the Hoffenheim goal by their striker Fabiano.

At that moment, the Rhine Neckar Arena fell silent, except for the cheers of a few hundred away Sevilla fans.

Hoffenheim fell behind at home to away Sevilla.

Lu Wenbin stood in the front court, watching his teammates in the backcourt being broken through by the opponent and shooting successfully, and he felt that his impatience caused him to be in poor condition.

After Lu Wenbin looked at the VIP box, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, concentrate on the game, and stop thinking about other things that have nothing to do with this game.
