In the warm celebration of Lu Wenbin leading the national football team to qualify from the group stage of the Federation Cup, on June 26, Forbes magazine launched the "2013 Forbes Global 100 Celebrity List" to push Lu Wenbin to a peak.

Forbes is an American magazine tied with Fortune and is known worldwide for its various authoritative rankings.

Under Forbes, there are "Forbes Global Rich List", "Forbes Royal Rich List", "Forbes Chinese Rich List", "Forbes Head of State List", "Forbes World Brand List", luxury brand list, fund list, city list, university list and so on.

Among them, most of the "Forbes Global 100 Celebrities" are from film and television actors, directors, variety show hosts, models, athletes, writers, musicians and other industries.

The celebrity list is comprehensively evaluated according to the global influence, annual income, media report popularity, number of fans, and online influence of the people on the list, which is more authoritative.

However, in terms of specific rankings, it is subjectively influenced by the editors and principals of the magazine.

As a magazine from capitalist America, football is not mainstream in the United States, and Lu Wenbin is still a player in socialist China.

Therefore, in the past few years, although Lu Wenbin has long been famous all over the world, and his ranking on the Forbes Global Top 100 Celebrities list has also climbed year by year, he has not been able to directly reach the first place.

In last year's Forbes 100 celebrity list, Lu Wenbin was still ranked third behind singer Jennifer Lopez and talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

But at the end of last year, after leading Real Madrid to complete the unprecedented annual six crowns in world football, scoring 168 goals of the year, being crowned three consecutive Ballon d'Or and Laureus three consecutive championships, and leading Real Madrid to complete the six crowns of the season this year, Forbes will not rank Lu Wenbin first.

Whether it is global influence, earning power, or the number of fans, Lu Wenbin is leading in all aspects, leaving others far behind.

Even in the United States, where football is not well developed, Lu Wenbin's name is a household name superstar, more famous than Jennifer Lopez and Oprah Winfrey.

The Forbes list of the world's 100 most famous people, which has been occupied by Americans themselves for most of the time, has finally been replaced in the 2013 edition released on June 26.

Lu Wenbin, a football player from China, ranked first on the "2013 Forbes Global 100 Celebrity List" ahead of Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Madonna and other American celebrities.

Lu Wenbin became the world's No. 1 celebrity officially recognized by Forbes in 2013.

Although Forbes admits that he does not admit it, Lu Wenbin is the most famous star in the world. But as a prestigious and authoritative list, Forbes' celebrity list can still influence many people.

Lu Wenbin's ascension to the top is that both the private and official sides have admitted this matter, which will have a relatively big impact on Lu Wenbin's advertising endorsement income and the sales of his own 666 brand in the coming year.

For a time, the media rushed to report on this incident, saying that Lu Wenbin's ranking was well-deserved and worthy of the name, which pushed Lu Wenbin's prestige even higher.

On June 27, the day after the release of the Forbes Celebrity List, the first semi-final of the 2013 Confederations Cup between Brazil and China was officially contested at the Mineiro Stadium, where the Chinese team had stayed in the group stage.

The second Spain vs Italy semi-final will be played on the second day.

Before the start of the Brazil vs China match, FIFA arranged a memorial service, with the players and spectators in mourning Cameroon's Vivian Foo.

Ten years ago today, on June 27, 2003, in the same Confederations Cup and the same semi-finals, Cameroon player Vivian Foo suffered a heart attack against Colombia and fell to the ground and died suddenly at the age of 28.

Vivien Foe's sudden death caused a global outcry against FIFA, as the Confederations Cup was held every two years at the time, which seriously overdrafted the players' fitness.

It was also because of the sudden death of Vivian Foucet that FIFA reformed the competition system under the pressure of public opinion, changing the biennial Confederations Cup to a quadrennial edition, and fixed to be held the year before the World Cup, hosted by the host country of the World Cup the following year.

After paying tribute to the Cameroonian star from 10 years ago, the match officially began.

In addition to Lu Wenbin in the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi could have reached the level of players from the lower reaches of the five major leagues.

But now that Zheng Zhi is injured, Lu Wenbin is the only one in the Chinese team to support the overall situation.

The Brazilian team has both old teammates such as Marcelo and Gustavo, as well as stars such as Cesar, Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Paulinho, Oscar, and Neymar.

Just looking at the lineup comparison, no one thinks that the Chinese team can cause an upset.

The odds are too small, no matter how strong Lu Wenbin is, it's useless.

Sure enough, despite Lu Wenbin guarding the backfield, Brazil scored easily and happily.

In the 13th minute, the Brazilian team played a delicate short pass in the front, Lu Wenbin, Wang Yongpo, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Peng and others all watched on the wall, and Brazil was beaten into the forbidden area without even touching the ball, and finally Neymar scored with a low shot.

In the 21st minute, Lu Wenbin personally counterattacked with the ball, and after passing three people, he shot low into the dead corner on the line of the forbidden area, but he was still saved by Cesar, who was attacking, and poked the ball out of the bottom line.

Later, although Lu Wenbin's corner kick was spun into the range of the goal frame, he was directly held in Cesar's arms, and he didn't even give China a chance to make up the shot.

In the 37th minute, Brazil scored in the far corner after Marcelo broke through on the side and cut in.

After scoring the goal, Marcelo deliberately smiled at Lu Wenbin, who could only shake his head to express helplessness.

Before the end of the field, Paulinho went straight to the ball, and striker Fred was offside to form a single knife.

Fortunately, Lu Wenbin chased back in time, grabbed a precise tackle from the side before Fred entered the big forbidden area, and did not even foul, which ruined the Brazilian team's attack.

In the second half, the Chinese team finally pulled back a point in the 63rd minute.

This time it was Lu Wenbin's long pass to assist Wu Lei to form an attack, and Wu Lei had lost the opportunity to break into the forbidden area and shoot with a single knife after receiving Lu Wenbin's long pass at the corner of the forbidden area.

However, Deng Zhuoxiang rushed up from behind.

Wu Lei knocked on the middle, and Deng Zhuoxiang hit a high-quality shot from outside the forbidden area, which penetrated Cesar's ten fingers.

The Chinese team pulled back a point, but to no avail.

In the 75th minute, Brazil scored another goal through Neymar to extend the score to 3-1.

Since then, neither side has scored again.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, and China lost 3-1 to hosts Brazil in the semi-finals of the 2013 Confederations Cup.

There were no accidents, no upsets, even with Lu Wenbin taking the lead, the Chinese team still lost the game because the overall strength was too weak.
