In the next few minutes, the situation between the two sides shifted suddenly, the Chinese team began to shrink the defense, and Uruguay pressed the attack.

I don't know what the situation is on the side of Spain and Nigeria, but now the Chinese team is ahead of Uruguay, and the real-time points are 4 points for China and 3 points for Uruguay.

As long as Nigeria does not beat Spain, China can beat Uruguay to qualify.

Therefore, the Chinese team has a reason to shrink the defense, and Uruguay can only press the attack.

But in front of the all-powerful Lu Wenbin, Uruguay's attack was almost completely blocked or disrupted, and it was difficult to form a real threat.

It wasn't until the 44th minute that Uruguay deliberately avoided Lu Wenbin's 45-degree cross from the side that Suarez found the first nod on goal, but it was high over the crossbar.

One minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

In the dressing room, the Chinese team learned the half-time result of the other game from the goalkeeper coach who had been following the other game: Spain, who had been playing on the semi-bench, had already led Nigeria 2-0 after only playing the first half.

In the Spaniards' passing skills, the African champions Nigeria, who had very low tactical literacy, were crushed, even though Spain had half of the bench.

Hearing the news, the Chinese team members immediately cheered happily.

However, Lu Wenbin immediately poured cold water on everyone, warning everyone not to be happy too early, they were only one goal ahead.

As long as Uruguay equalizes in the second half, there is no need to reverse, and it will be Uruguay who will qualify from the group, not the Chinese team.

Therefore, in the second half, everyone had to work together to defend well and wait for opportunities to counterattack.

If it can lead by two goals, then the Chinese team will basically be stable.

With the addition of personal achievements and the aura of leadership, Lu Wenbin's prestige is now much higher than that of a coach.

When Lu Wenbin said this, everyone naturally calmed down.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, the Chinese team contracted the defense line to play a defensive counterattack, and Uruguay pressed the attack from the beginning of the second half.

They also know the outcome of the other game, which means they only need to equalise to finish second in the group ahead of China and Nigeria.

Such a situation naturally makes Uruguay very desperate.

But the Chinese team's defense is very solid under the organization of Lu Wenbin.

It's not just a matter of Lu Wenbin helping to defend.

Lu Wenbin's own physique, physical fitness, speed, bounce, defense, positioning, tackles, etc., are all full level, whether it is frontal defense or side interference, it can destroy the opponent's offense to the greatest extent.

Secondly, as a superstar who has been mixed with the top European giants for a long time, Lu Wenbin's understanding of defense is higher than that of these domestic players and even coaches.

With the increase in the time he spends playing in the back, as the tacit understanding with his teammates in training and games increases, even if the opponent deliberately avoids him, he can use his experience and vision to remind his teammates in the command of the backline how to run, get stuck and defend.

Of course, Lu Wenbin and his teammates are not very tacit now, but they are much more proficient than the first and second games.

That's why Uruguay haven't been able to take good chances to shoot dangerously in this game.

It's not that they haven't avoided Lu Wenbin in the middle who tried to attack from the side, but on the one hand, there was Lu Wenbin's reminder, and on the other hand, the goal was in the middle after all, and they had to return to the middle in the end.

They don't have the Spanish team's Xavi and Iniesta's passing assist masters, and Suarez, the only one who can do it, was nailed to death by Lu Wenbin most of the time, resulting in the failure to break through the Chinese team's goal.

The continuous attack but the failure to score a goal made the Uruguayan team more and more impatient.

Especially when the Chinese team attacked with the ball, they were panicked and anxious, and the way they handled it was a little excessive.

In the 69th minute, Uruguay's wing attacked, but under the command of Lu Wenbin, the cross of fullback Ramirez was passed low under the interference of the Chinese team's fullbacks, and before he could enter the forbidden area, he was intercepted by Dewey halfway and kicked Lu Wenbin, who ran out of the gap.

Lu Wenbin dribbled forward, passed Lodeiro and passed to Hao Junmin, who then passed to Zheng Zhi, who was about to reach the top of the arc in the forbidden area.

As a result, Hao Junmin's pass was slightly too big, and Zheng Zhi could only try to catch up, but he still couldn't control the ball in advance.

Coates, a centre-back who rushed next to him, flew into a diagonal tackle to shovel the ball away.

But at the same time, Zheng Zhi didn't want to waste this opportunity.

"If you can't control the ball, it's good to help Lu Wenbin ask for a free kick, and you also have a chance to score!"

With this thought, while Coates flew diagonally and passed, Zheng Zhi also jumped hard, flew to shovel over, and then shoveled the ball away before Coates.

In the next second, Coates's spikes slammed into Zheng Zhi's ankle.

Zheng Zhi didn't have time to dodge, and Coates didn't have time to retract his legs.

Zheng Zhi suddenly screamed, this time it was not pretended, but a very painful scream, tearing his heart, so that all the Chinese at the scene and in front of the TV were nervous, and the fans at the scene immediately scolded Coates.

Hao Junmin rushed over and pushed Coates, who was still on the ground, but was immediately separated by the Uruguayan players, and the referee quickly intervened to avoid a clash.

The team doctor quickly entered the field, hurriedly checked and sent Zheng Zhitai off the field on a stretcher, and then sent him off the court without waiting for the game to end.

This time the injury was very serious, and he had to be taken to the hospital immediately.

The referee gave Coates a yellow card and gave the Chinese team a free kick, which once again caused dissatisfaction and boos from the Chinese fans in the stadium, but could not change the referee's decision.

Gao Hongbo replaced Deng Zhuoxiang in place of Zheng Zhi's forward position, and then Lu Wenbin took the free kick.

Lu Wenbin had sent a free kick before, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line and did not score.

For this free kick, Lu Wenbin's skills are still cooling, and he can't use system skills, so he can only be punished by Lu Wenbin himself.

However, Lu Wenbin's free-kick skills are already very perfect.

The most important teammate in the team was tackled by the opponent and left the field, and I don't know what the injury is, Lu Wenbin was very angry in his heart, and vowed to score the ball.

But Lu Wenbin did not lose his mind.

After the referee blew the whistle that he could take a free throw, Lu Wenbin calmly took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down before starting to run.

A few steps later, Lu Wenbin stood still with his left foot, kicked the ball with his right foot in the lower middle of the ball, and the ball soared into the air, crossed the wall, drew an arc in the air, and drilled into the dead corner of the Uruguayan goal.

Lu Wenbin's free kick sealed his throat, and the Chinese team led the South American powerhouse Uruguay 2-0.
