Chapter 671: A new record for consecutive goals

Whether it is the king of the ball or the god of the ball, it is impossible to be recognized, no matter how strong Lu Wenbin's personal strength is.

Some people may say that the technical and tactical level of the Champions League is higher than that of the World Cup, which many people admit.

However, in terms of world-class influence and global fan participation, the World Cup is still greater. After all, the Champions League is every year, and the World Cup is only once in four.

Because of time, it is destined that the World Cup is more rare than the Champions League.

What's more, the sense of national honor, national pride, and political considerations represented in it have made the World Cup carry the emotions of too many fans around the world.

Naturally, the World Cup is more important than the Champions League in the eyes of most non-European fans.

To become a recognized champion, you have to have a World Cup winner in your hand.

If Lu Wenbin can't lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup, then no matter how high his achievements at the club are, he will not be recognized by everyone.

And looking at the results of the Chinese team in the finals of the Confederations Cup, it feels impossible to win the World Cup!

However, whether it is the king of the ball or not, the fourth consecutive Golden Ball Award is already an unprecedented great achievement, and Lu Wenbin's status as the number one superstar of our time is even more unshakable.

After receiving the Ballon d'Or, he returned to China, and on January 14, in the 1/4 finals of the League Cup, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Bordeaux away.

Only three days apart from the last game, Lu Wenbin also flew to Switzerland to receive the Golden Ball Award, and his physical condition was naturally affected a lot.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin was put on the bench.

But the strength of Grand Paris is really too strong.

Even without Lu Wenbin on the side, Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani would be enough to solve the opponent's opponent, even if the opponent is Bordeaux, the traditional powerhouse of Ligue 1.

After 90 minutes, Paris beat Bordeaux 3-1 thanks to a brace from Ibrahimovic and the icing on the cake from Edinson Cavani to qualify for the semi-finals of this season's French League Cup.

Lu Wenbin sat on the bench for 90 minutes and did not play.

On January 19, in the 21st round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Nantes.

It's as if there is providence in the dark.

Nantes have set the record for the longest unbeaten run in Ligue 1 with 32 games, while Grand Paris have previously gone unbeaten in 31 games across the season.

As long as they don't lose in this league game against Nantes, PSG will equal Nantes' record of 32 Ligue 1 unbeaten games.

And if Lu Wenbin scores in this game, it will also equal his own record of 21 consecutive goals in the top five European leagues.

After the first 20 rounds, Nantes is ranked 8th in Ligue 1 and has played averagely.

However, in this away game against Paris Saint-Germain, Nantes played quite hard.

Not daring to give a free kick to a dangerous position in the forbidden zone, Nantes brought the foul to the midfield, and in the midfield there was a bloody battle with the Grand Paris, and the midfield of the Parc des Princes was overturned.

The reason for this is that Nantes don't want Paris Saint-Germain to break their record. They can only attack, trying to defeat Grand Paris.

As long as they are tied, their record will be equaled, and it will most likely be broken by Paris Saint-Germain.

As a result, the Nantes put up a strong resistance.

But PSG are not afraid of Nantes' scramble.

Not to mention Lu Wenbin, a pervert with full physique, Matuidi, Silva, and Ibrahimovic are not people who are afraid of fighting and getting injured.

Moreover, Lu Wenbin's perverted physique is more powerful than that of the Nantes team.

Coupled with the technical advantage, Nantes' midfield scrambling tactics cannot be said to be useless, but they are not very useful.

In addition to adding a few injuries and a few yellow cards to the players on both sides, Nan specifically said that they beat Paris Saint-Germain and they couldn't even force a draw.

In the end, Paris Saint-Germain beat Nantes 4-1 at home under Lu Wenbin, and their unbeaten record of 11 games last season, 12 games this season and a total of 32 cross-season Ligue 1 games equalled Nantes' record of 32 games unbeaten in Ligue 1 set in 1994/1995.

At the same time, Lu Wenbin also continued to score goals in this game, tying his own record of 21 consecutive goals in the top five leagues.

The next league game will be particularly eye-catching.

As long as Lu Wenbin continues to score goals and lead Grand Paris to victory, both Lu Wenbin and Grand Paris will set new records.

However, before the next round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain have a match in the French FA Cup.

On January 22, in the 1/16 finals of the 2013/2014 French Cup, Paris Saint-Germain hosted the French team Montpellier.

Even strong teams such as Monaco, Lille and Bordeaux can't compete with Paris Saint-Germain, let alone Montpellier, a team that is at the bottom of the table this season and has to fight for relegation.

Montpellier had no intention of fighting at all, and even sent a half-main and half-substitute lineup, with no intention of winning and qualifying: their minds were on league relegation.

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Montpellier without any suspense and successfully advanced to the round of 16 of the French Cup.

Next, it is related to whether Lu Wenbin and Grand Paris can break the record in Ligue 1.

On January 25, 2014, in the 22nd round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain played away against Guingamp.

After the first 21 rounds, Guingamp is in 14th place, only eight points away from the relegation zone, far from the success of relegation.

Therefore, whether it is in the consideration of relegation, or the idea of not wanting to make a record-breaking stepping stone for Lu Wenbin and Grand Paris, Guingamp has played quite well in the cheers of the home fans.

In addition, it rained that day, which also caused a certain disturbance to the technical flow attack of Grand Paris.

It wasn't until the 22nd minute of the game that Grand Paris scored a header from Cavani assisted by Lu Wenbin to take a 1-0 lead away.

But the goal of Lu Wenbin, which fans were expecting, has not yet arrived.

PSG didn't even score a second goal until the end of the first half. Guingamp, on the other hand, scored an equaliser in the 38th minute from a corner.

The two sides went into the break with a 1-1 scoreline.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Blanco replaced Ravic with Mane, who had a higher height advantage, and the three forwards in the front field were all over 1.8 meters, and Ibrahimovic was as high as 195cm.

In the rain battle, Grand Paris had to give up the ground attack and strengthen the routine of crosses from the wing and headers.

That's why Blanco has brought on a taller striker.

Finally, in the 65th minute, Lu Wenbin split the side, Motta crossed from the side, Ibrahimovic's header was saved, and Cavani grabbed the shot and hit the post and bounced into the forbidden area.

The Guingamp fans were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Lu Wenbin rushed in from outside the no-go zone and volleyed the ball into the ball.

The ball flew like a cannonball through the no-go zone and into the Guingamp goal.
