Brazil's continued attack put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team, who only had two counter-attacks in the first 20 minutes.

One of them was Lu Wenbin who ran long distance with the ball and was destroyed after half court, and the other time was when Wu Xi passed the ball straight to Wu Lei, but Wu Lei was not fast enough and was cleared by central defender Silva first, failing to form a threat.

Brazil, on the other hand, had five shots on goal in the first 20 minutes, an average of one shot in four minutes, which was quite terrifying.

Of those five shots, two were on target. Had it not been for the poor luck, Brazil would have scored the lead.

As the captain, Lu Wenbin felt a lot of pressure, constantly retreating, running back and forth to participate in the defense, and used his good position selection and full-value defensive skills to help the team defend the goal.

However, Lu's defense was not part of the team's training and game plan.

His usual defense is just interference and delaying defense in the frontcourt, as long as he can delay the opponent's attacking speed, rather than participating in the defense in the backfield as a midfielder or even a defender.

Now Lu Wenbin has retreated deeper than usual, which has affected the coordination between the Chinese team's defenders and back waist.

Because Lu Wenbin did not form a long-term tacit understanding with his teammates in the backcourt in defense.

In the 23rd minute, when Lu Wenbin once again fell to the ground near the corner of the big ban zone and shoveled the ball away at Alex's feet, disrupting the opponent's wing attack, Lu Wenbin was called to the sidelines by head coach Blazevic.

Blazevic pressed Lu Wenbin's shoulder extremely nervously and said: "Lu Wenbin, your position is too far back, you are the front midfield, not the back midfield." Your position too far back not only prevents us from attacking on the back, but also affects the defensive coordination between our midfielders and defenders. You need to be a little bit early, just interfere in midfield and give our backline a place to get the ball out. Your main responsibility is to score goals, not to defend. ”

Blazevic's nervousness is understandable, as he is afraid that Lu Wenbin will play a big name and not understand his tactical instructions.

If Lu Wenbin insists on going his own way, he has no choice at all.

Replace Lu Wenbin? It's better to surrender and admit defeat directly.

Besides, he didn't dare.

He dares to change Lu Wenbin now, and he has to leave class as soon as the game is over, regardless of whether the Chinese team wins or loses.

Fortunately, Lu Wenbin is not an arrogant person who can't listen to persuasion.

After a little recollection, Lu Wenbin found his mistake, and the coach's statement was right.

Although his defensive ability is very good, dropping back deeper can indeed give more help to the Chinese team's backline, as evidenced by the fact that he did not allow Brazil to score for more than 20 minutes.

But his interference with the back line is also real, the two offset, in fact, he did not bring much improvement in the defensive strength of the Chinese team's backline, and there was also a lot of luck in not conceding the goal.

On the contrary, because of his excessive retreat, the Chinese team's counterattack was almost completely scrapped, which was more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin nodded very firmly and said, "I understand, coach, I listen to you!" ”

Blazevic happily patted Lu Wenbin on the shoulder, pushed him onto the court, and continued the game.

After the game restarted, Lu Wenbin did not retreat to the big forbidden area, or even the forbidden area.

In this way, although the defensive strength has been reduced a little, it has not decreased too much because of the tacit understanding of the back line training games.

The midfield attack is much sharper because of Lu Wenbin's existence.

In the 29th minute, Zhang Linpeng grabbed the first point in a battle with Oscar and gave the ball to Lu Wenbin despite the danger of injury.

Then Zhang Linpeng was knocked to the ground by Oscar, but the referee did not stop the game, because the ball fell to the feet of Lu Wenbin, and the Chinese team began to counterattack.

In line with the principle of attacking advantage, the referee followed Lu Wenbin and rushed towards the Brazilian half court.

This time, Lu Wenbin is closer to the middle line, with only one midfielder Sandro by his side, and only two central defenders in the backfield, and one of them has to defend Wu Lei.

That's the benefit of standing a little bit forward.

If it is further back, even if Lu Wenbin gets the ball and counterattacks, he will have to face more interceptions and timely return defense by more midfielders and fullbacks of the opponent.

This is exactly the reason why head coach Blazevic asked Lu Wenbin not to be too far back, in order to retain the possibility of such a counterattack.

Now, here's your chance.

Although Sandro posted it the moment Lu Wenbin received Zhang Linpeng's header, Lu Wenbin's dribbling skills and speed and body were too good, and Sandro couldn't find a chance to break the ball with his feet, so he could only pester Lu Wenbin to try to slow down his attack.

But contrary to expectations, although Lu Wenbin's speed was a little slower, it was still not slow enough for other Brazilian players to rush back to participate in the defense.

When Lu Wenbin and Sandro were entangled and advancing, Wu Lei followed up 20 meters away, involving the defense of central defender Juan.

There was only one Silva in front of Lu Wenbin who was defending while retreating, ready to see the opportunity to break Lu Wenbin's ball with Sandro.

As the distance approached, just as Lu Wenbin was about to reach the big ban zone, Silva, who was slowly retreating, suddenly stood up and rushed forward and made a tackle on the ground.

Already on the verge of entering the no-go zone, Silva had to make this move outside the no-go zone: the no-go zone was too risky.

Even if he fails to tackle now, there is still Sandro entangled, and Lu Wenbin will not be completely undefended.

Sandro next to him also stepped up the pulling and pushing action at the right time, trying to make Lu Wenbin lose his center of gravity and create opportunities for Silva to break the ball.

However, the experienced Lu Wenbin saw through their intentions, picked the ball up the moment Silva suddenly fell to the ground, and then jumped himself to step over the fallen Silva.

Although he stumbled a little because of Sandro's push when he landed, he successfully broke through Silva's interception, and Sandro was temporarily thrown away by Lu Wenbin because of Silva's interference.

Lu Wenbin staggered to catch up with the ball that landed, grabbed a stab before the attacking goalkeeper Gabriel, and kicked the ball under Gabriel's crotch.

Gabriel clamped his legs and touched the ball, but it didn't touch the frame of the goal.

Under the desperate gaze of countless Brazilians, the ball passed under Gabriel's crotch and rolled into the goal with a slight change of direction.

Lu Wenbin finally scored a counter-attacking goal, and the Chinese team took a 1-0 lead.

On the commentary seat, countless Chinese and foreign commentators suddenly shouted:

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooal……”

"The ball went in, a counterattack from the superstar Lu!"

"The Brazilian team bombarded the Chinese team for 30 minutes, but it was Lu who scored the first goal!"

"Lu beat Brazil alone!"
