Chapter 500: Guizhou Zhicheng
After playing a friendly match against Guangzhou Evergrande, Real Madrid flew to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, on August 4.
In Guizhou, Real Madrid received a warmer welcome.
At present, Guizhou does not even have a Chinese Super League team, only Guizhou Zhicheng plays in the middle league to support the façade, and the results are not good, ranking in the middle and lower reaches, and there is almost no sense of existence in China's football map.
However, Guizhou has a large number of fans, even more than many provinces with large populations and large football provinces.
The main reason is Lu Wenbin.
The appearance of Lu Wenbin has made countless ordinary citizens of Guizhou become fans, and countless ordinary fans have become hardcores.
Lu Wenbin is the first world-class football superstar in Guizhou to go out, and he is a well-deserved business card and pride of Guizhou, and everyone is proud of Lu Wenbin.
Therefore, on the way from Guiyang Airport to the hotel near the Olympic Sports Center, Real Madrid was greeted by dozens of millions of fans, and Lu Wenbin's name was shouted over and over again by the fans, and it never stopped.
Originally, Guizhou Zhicheng's home stadium was not the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center, but in order to accommodate more enthusiastic fans, Guizhou Zhicheng also had to move the game to the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center, which had just been completed.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the Guizhou Provincial Government and the Guiyang Municipal Government, and the two levels of government naturally raised their hands to welcome Real Madrid to Guiyang, Guizhou for a friendly match.
Even if Guizhou Zhicheng is a second-level team, even if the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center can accommodate more than 50,000 people, the tickets for this friendly match have long been snatched up, and many people can't buy tickets even if they increase the price.
Guizhou fans welcomed Real Madrid with the greatest enthusiasm, especially Lu Wenbin's homecoming.
On August 6, the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center was full, and countless fans excitedly shouted Lu Wenbin's name in the stands and bowed to him.
Of course, there is no shortage of Kaka, Ronaldo, and Casillas names, but in Lu Wenbin, the home of Guizhou, it is obvious that Lu Wenbin's supporters have an absolute advantage.
In this game, Lu Wenbin replaced Kaka and appeared in the starting position of the front midfield, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Callejon on both sides, and Benzema partnering Higuain in the striker.
Lu Wenbin became the attacking core of Real Madrid.
In the final stage of Inter Milan, Lu Wenbin has actually begun to retreat to play in the midfield position.
Although he plays full-back more often, it is actually due to the fact that there is Sneijder in the middle, and Lu Wenbin can play well on the wing.
But after arriving at Real Madrid, Ozil had no friendship with Mourinho before, so there was no need for him to worry about Ozil.
And Kaka, although he bears the name of Mr. Golden Ball and Son of God, his performance in the first two seasons and this season's friendlies proves that Kaka has fallen off the altar and is no longer as brave as when he was with AC Milan.
Therefore, Mourinho decided to build Lu Wenbin, who transferred to Real Madrid with him from Inter Milan, into the attacking core of the forward position.
In this position, Lu Wenbin's ability to balance his left and right feet and his wide vision can allow Lu Wenbin to be able to hit the wing, shoot, pass and run, and fully play the role of an offensive core.
In the face of Mourinho's decision and Lu Wenbin's fame and strength, Ozil couldn't even say anything to refute, so he could only passively accept the fate of the substitute.
Moreover, even if he is a substitute, he still has to compete with Kaka, which can be described as a lot of pressure.
The wealthy are really not so easy to mix.
Regarding Mourinho's arrangement, Lu Wenbin naturally has no opinions.
In the midfield position, it is obviously better than the wing, more dangerous to the goal and more helpful to the team.
Lu Wenbin also lived up to expectations, combing Real Madrid's attack in the first half.
In the 7th minute, Lu Wenbin personally scored with a low shot from four people outside the forbidden area, Wu Sihuo failed to save Lu Wenbin's shot, Guizhou Zhicheng 0-1 Real Madrid.
In the 17th minute, Ronaldo suddenly shot a long shot outside the forbidden area, and Wu Sihuo reacted quickly and actually saved the ball.
In the 21st minute, Lu Wenbin suddenly picked up a pass at the back of the goal on the corner of the forbidden area, Ronaldo rushed in from the side, jumped high, and smashed the goal of the Guizhou team guarded by Wang Lichun with a header, and Guizhou Zhicheng fell behind Real Madrid 0-2.
In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin took the ball to the front, and after colliding with Benzema, he hit the wall once and scored a long shot on the forbidden area, Guizhou Zhicheng 0-3 Real Madrid.
In the 37th minute, Benzema grabbed a shot in the forbidden area close at hand, but was blocked by Wu Sihuo with his foot like a conditioned reflex.
In the 43rd minute, the Guizhou team finally played an attack, but it was cut off by Ramos in the forbidden area, and then passed to the feet of Lu Wenbin near the center circle.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Wenbin was going to drive straight with the ball, Lu Wenbin suddenly raised his foot and stuffed the ball to the back of Guizhou Zhicheng's backline.
Benzema successfully countered offside, received Lu Wenbin's direct second pass behind Guizhou Zhicheng's back line to form a single knife, and finally scored a goal, Guizhou Zhicheng fell behind Real Madrid 0-4.
Moreover, of Real Madrid's four goals, two were scored by Lu Wenbin, and the other two were assisted by Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin perfectly interprets what is the real offensive core and all-round forward midfielder.
In the position of Real Madrid's forward midfielder, Lu Wenbin is indeed better than Kaka and Ozil.
Fans thought that Lu Wenbin's performance in the first half was enough to surprise everyone, but they didn't expect the bigger surprise to be in the second half.
After the 15-minute half-time break, when the players of both teams walked out of the players' tunnel, there was an uproar both on the scene and in front of the television:
Lu Wenbin actually changed into Guizhou Zhicheng's No. 6 jersey at halftime and stood with the players of Guizhou Zhicheng.
Lu Wenbin wanted to make a cameo appearance in the second half as a player from his hometown of Guizhou Zhicheng and lead his hometown team to snipe Real Madrid.
Although the overall strength of the two teams is hugely different, Lu Wenbin can solve many problems alone.
Even if Xavi Alonso, Ramos, Pepe and others tried their best to intercept, they still couldn't stop Lu Wenbin's goal.
In the 62nd minute, Lu Wenbin finally helped Guizhou Zhicheng score the first goal of the game, a volley from Lu Wenbin, the ball broke through the goal guarded by Casillas without suspense.
In the 87th minute, Ramos pulled down Lu Wenbin and gave Lu Wenbin a free kick in front.
Lu Wenbin opened the system skills and sent the ball into the goal of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid scored one goal each in the second half with Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, and the final score was 7-2, with Real Madrid winning by five goals.
But the news after the game was obviously not Real Madrid, but Lu Wenbin scored a total of 4 goals for the two teams in the first and second halves, leaving a memory that Guizhou Zhicheng fans will never forget.
Guizhou Zhicheng's goalkeeper Wu Sihuo also performed well, although he conceded seven goals, he also saved several threatening goals from Real Madrid, and successfully attracted the attention of several European teams through match footage and news.
Wu Sihuo's European dream is really possible.
