Chapter 690: Fight for Spain
After the game, the Chinese team, which won the first historic victory in the World Cup, and the fans celebrated for a long time at the Pantanal Arena until the stadium management entered and politely asked the Chinese players and fans to leave.
After the game, the domestic media naturally overwhelmingly reported the historic first victory of the national football team in the World Cup, and even appeared on the news network.
Foreign media also congratulated the Chinese team on its victory and changed their predictions for the Chinese team's qualification.
After winning one game and having 3 points, the Chinese team is in a good situation to qualify.
As long as there is a draw with the Netherlands or Spain, the Chinese team has a chance to qualify.
After winning Chile, Lu Wenbin himself was rewarded with experience in a single game in the group stage, which was very rich.

In the first round of the group stage, most of them were in line with the predictions of the media and fans, but there were inevitably some upsets.
In Group D, Uruguay, who only qualified through the intercontinental play-offs, unexpectedly lost 1-3 to Costa Rica and caused a big upset.
Although Germany's win over Portugal in Group G was not an upset, the score of 4-0 made this game as jaw-dropping as the Netherlands' 5-1 Spain.
Finally, in Group H, the European powerhouse Russia failed to defeat the Asian team and was forced to draw 1-1 by South Korea, which was also a small upset.
Next, start the second round of the group stage.
At 13 noon local time on June 18, at the Bellario Stadium in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the first match of the second round of Group B of China VS Netherlands officially began.
Although they know the strength of the Dutch team, the Chinese team still wants to fight.
In the event of a draw with the Netherlands, the chances of qualifying will naturally be greater.
But it backfired, and the Dutch team was in too good form in the group stage of this World Cup.
Even though Lu Wenbin was running all over the field, trying hard to defend and command the backline, he still couldn't stop the attack of the Dutch team.
In the 10th minute, the Netherlands cut inside from Arjen Robben and fired their trademark left-footed shot into the far corner.
The Netherlands lead 1-0.
Lu Wenbin was quite helpless.
Because he defended Sneijder, Sneijder just crossed the halfway line and passed the ball to De Guzman on the wing, who in turn passed to Robben.
Defender Zhao Xuri and defender Rong Hao tried their best to intercept, and even pulled and pulled, but they couldn't stop Robben.
Robben, who was not injured, was also unguardable.
In the 39th minute, the Chinese team conceded the ball again.
This time it was full-back Blind who assisted, and then broke through Lu Wenbin's defense after playing with Sneijder to break through the defensive of Lu Wenbin, and in the diagonal pass zone, Van Persie forced his foot to shoot under the siege of three Chinese defenders.
The ball coincidentally hit the foot of Zhao Peng, who raised his leg and tried his best to block the ball, and the line change was just right to avoid Zeng Cheng's save.
The Netherlands led China 2-0.
Fortunately, the Chinese team and Lu Wenbin are not powerless.
Before the end of the first half, in the 43rd minute, Lu Wenbin used his personal ability to cause a foul on De Jong in the counterattack, won a free kick, and then opened his special skills to pull back a point.
China 1-2 Netherlands, only one goal behind.
With a 1-2 scoreline, the two sides went into halftime.
Fifteen minutes later, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
The attacking power of the Dutch team really made Lu Wenbin unable to defend even if he tried his best.
In the 68th minute, the Dutch team won a corner kick, and Lu Wenbin went deep to help the defense.
As a result, the Dutch team played a tactical corner kick and passed the ball directly outside the forbidden area, and Sneijder, who was outside the forbidden area, pulled away his big leg and came with an earth-shattering super long-range shot.
The ball flew into the goal like a cannonball, and no one touched it.
The Netherlands scored another goal to take a 3-1 lead over China.
Although the Chinese team under the leadership of Lu Wenbin defended and stubbornly counterattacked, it only relied on a long-range shot from Lu Wenbin's counterattack in the 80th minute to save a point.
Until the end of the game, the Chinese team was unable to equalize the score.
Lu Wenbin, like in the first game, scored a brace, but still allowed the Chinese team to lose the game 2-3.
The Dutch team won two consecutive games to advance to qualify, while the Chinese team still only had three points and a goal difference of zero.
However, the performance of the Chinese team was unanimously praised by the media at home and abroad.
Lu Wenbin's four goals in two games unsurprisingly ranked first in the World Cup scorer list.
There are already media and fans talking about whether Lu Wenbin will win the Golden Boot of this World Cup with three group games even if the Chinese team can't qualify?
It's entirely possible.
Subsequently, in the second round of Group B, Chile defeated Spain 2-0, tied with China on 3 points, and ranked ahead of China because of the advantage of goal difference.
In the last round of the game, as long as the Dutch team is not waterproof, the Chinese team will be able to beat the Chilean team if they draw with Spain.
No matter what the Dutch team does, the Chinese team must at least draw with Spain to have a chance of qualifying.
One can only pray that the Dutch team will be sportsmanlike.
Then there were a lot of upsets in the second round, especially Italy's 0-1 loss to Costa Rica, which was a shock to the world.
This also provided a lot of confidence for the Chinese team to draw or even win against Spain.
In order to avoid match-fixing or tacit ball according to the points situation, the two matches of the final round of each group are all played at the same time.
At 13 o'clock at noon on June 23, the matches of Group B China vs Spain and Netherlands vs Chile started at the same time.
This is the last game of the Chinese team in the group stage, and it is also a key battle.
Whether or not you can qualify depends entirely on the result of the match with Spain.
As for the Spaniards, although they have lost two games in a row, they are not completely out of the tournament yet, and they still have hope.
As long as they win against China by a big score in the final round of the game, and then Chile loses to the Netherlands, then Spain, China and Chile will have three points and a better goal difference.
Therefore, in the last round of the game, Spain, which was cornered, did not surrender and send points to the Chinese team, but broke out with stronger fighting spirit and combat effectiveness than the first two games, striving to defeat China.
Even if they can't get out of the line, they have to fight for their dignity.
