Although the score was 0-1, Iraq did not press out to attack.

Before the start of this game, Zico understood that in the away game against the Chinese team led by Lu Wenbin, it would be absolutely difficult for Iraq to win, and a draw was unlikely.

In this group, Iraq's only way out is to compete with the other three teams for a second qualifying spot, and even finishing third and playing in the play-offs is a great victory.

Sure enough, in less than 20 minutes, Iraq, which had been holding the bus to the death, lost the goal.

And Lu Wenbin's ability to counter-grab in the past ten minutes is stronger than when he was in Real Madrid, which makes Zico feel even more jealous.

If Iraq tries to counterattack, and then is tackled by Lu Wenbin and directly counterattacks, Iraq will be more likely to lose the ball.

Therefore, Zico asked his players to be more decisive in handling the ball and not to play with fire at the back.

Although it is easy to lose the ball and give up the ball to the hand, it is easier to deal with it than being directly counter-attacked by a local counter-attack in the backfield.

In the next game, the Chinese team continued to press Iraq's attack, and Iraq's defense was more resolute, and the counterattack was easily stopped.

Once you get the ball, kick it wide and keep it out of your zone.

As a result, Lu Wenbin's anti-robbery ability has also lost its usefulness.

However, Lu Wenbin's main task is to attack, as long as Iraq does not counterattack, the ball will always fall to the feet of the Chinese team, and Lu Wenbin's time to get the ball is still very sufficient.

Even if Iraq can't hold on to it, no team can really be watertight.

In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin tore apart Iraq's defense line by colliding with Yu Hai and found a gap.

After following the ball passed by Yu Hai, Lu Wenbin, who was on the line of the big forbidden area, made a gesture to shoot, but shook the two defenders who defended him fiercely.

Lu Wenbin himself faked a real pass, knocked the ball with a heel, and knocked the ball to the ribs of the big forbidden area behind.

Zheng Zhi rushed into the no-go zone unmarked, and volleyed the ball into the near corner of the goal in an instant.

Zheng Zhi scored the second goal of the Chinese team with Lu Wenbin's back-heel wonderful pass, and the Chinese team took a 2-0 lead.

With this score and this situation, the first game of the top 10 is basically stable.

However, the Chinese team was not satisfied with the 2-0 victory, and Gao Hongbo did not replace Lu Wenbin.

It is precisely because of Lu Wenbin's existence that Iraq can only hold on to it and dare not fight back.

If Lu Wenbin is off the field, without this nuclear weapon-like deterrent, and Iraq counterattacks and attacks, it is not uncommon for the gap between the two goals to be reversed by the opponent with the urine of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team went on the offensive.

In the 39th minute, the Chinese team scored again.

However, this goal has nothing to do with Lu Wenbin, it was Zhang Linpeng's side assist and the goal scored by Gao Lin's header in the forbidden area.

China leads 3-0.

A few minutes after the game restarted, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the second goal of Lu Wenbin, who the media and fans had been waiting for, never arrived.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Iraq still showed no signs of a major counterattack.

It seems that Zico really gave up on this game from the very beginning.

In the 57th minute, Lu Wenbin finally scored his second goal of the game.

This time, it was Lu Wenbin who passed three defenders through continuous bicycle pedaling, Marseille slalom and other feints in the front court through his genius performance, and then scored in the far corner of the big forbidden zone.

Lu Wenbin scored twice and scored China's fourth goal, giving China a 4-0 lead.

In key stoppage time, Lu Wenbin scored twice, and it was not the Chinese team that led 4-0, but Lu Wenbin's goal, which was the 500th official goal of his career.

When Lu Wenbin scored this beautiful 500th goal, the entire Hongkou Stadium was boiling.

The commentators shouted loudly:

"The goal is in, Lu Wenbin's 500th career goal!"

"Lu Wenbin scored the 500th official goal of his career!"

"Lu Wenbin has completed the goal record that many super strikers have not completed in their entire careers!"

"Of the 500 goals, Lu Wenbin only took 239 games, and the average number of goals per game has reached 2.1."

"Lu Wenbin is simply a goal machine, any team facing Lu Wenbin must be prepared to fall behind by two goals first!"

In the commentary of the commentators, the subtitle of "Lu Wenbin - 500 Balls" was also played on the LCD screen of Hongkou Stadium to congratulate Lu Wenbin.

The Chinese fans in the stands also put up banners celebrating Lu Wenbin's achievement of 500 career goals, cheering and applauding him.

Lu Wenbin stepped into the 500-ball club.

He himself was very happy, interacting with his teammates and fans to celebrate for a long time before returning to his own half of the court to wait for the game to start amid protests from the Iraqi players.

However, no matter how much the Iraqis protested, after the score reached this point, the victory was basically decided.

So, Gao Hongbo replaced the older Zheng Zhi, and then asked the team to slow down the pace and save energy.

After the Chinese team slowed down their attack, Iraq finally wanted to score a goal on the counterattack.

But Lu Wenbin has become an obstacle in the way of Iraq's counterattack.

From Zheng Zhi's departure to the 85th minute, Lu Wenbin disrupted Iraq's quick counterattacks or passes four times, and even snatched the ball directly from the feet of the opposing player on one occasion.

In the end, the Iraqi players realized that Lu Wenbin's defensive ability was strong and did not dare to pass from him.

If you can't avoid it, you can only pass horizontally and back, and no one will try to break through Lu Wenbin anymore.

Still, the Iraqis who have been forged in the war are resilient.

The fact that they were 4-0 down and repeatedly failed to counter-attack did not break them.

In the 84th minute, the Iraqis finally saved a little face by scoring a goal from a corner.

But in the 91st minute of stoppage time, when the game was about to end, Iraqi defender Younis recklessly fouled Hao Junmin, who counterattacked, and gave the Chinese team a free kick.

Lu Wenbin smiled and accepted the gift, opened the special skill and kicked the ball into the dead corner.

Lu Wenbin scored a hat trick, and the Chinese team still led by 4 goals 5-1 Iraq.

Lu Wenbin's hat trick made the fans excited, and the call for "666" was endless, and it did not stop until the end of the game.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Chinese team, led by Lu Wenbin, defeated Iraq 5-1 at home and made a good start to the top 10 matches in the Asian region of the World Preliminary Championship.
