Chapter 587: Two Goals Lead

It's a long talk off the field, but the situation on the field is actually changing very quickly.

After Zhao Peng's successful tackle, only Zhang Linpeng and Lu Wenbin's two feet passed, and the players who attacked the front court in Mexico had no time to retreat, and Wu Lei received Lu Wenbin's pass without defense.

There was no offside, no interference, Wu Lei instantly formed a single knife and approached the Mexican ban zone.

Towards the end of the first half, the Chinese team played a quick counterattack with a rare opportunity.

The two central defenders, Mai Rui and Reyerston, were shocked and hurriedly left Lu Wenbin and rushed towards Wu Lei.

Goalkeeper Corona also abandoned the goal, carefully sealing the angle, ready to save Wu Lei's one-on-one ball.

After passing the ball, Lu Wenbin did not stand and watch Wu Lei's performance, but continued to step forward and ran towards the forbidden area, looking for possible opportunities to make up shots.

Wu Lei's concise way of handling the ball is something that most offensive players in China do not have, and even don't realize, is also something that Lu Wenbin appreciates.

Although the comprehensive strength cannot catch up with the top international strikers, it is definitely the top among China's own domestic strikers, and the future is limitless.

That's what happened with the ball this time.

Wu Lei only took three steps forward after receiving Lu Wenbin's ball, and did not insist on entering the forbidden area to shoot again, nor did he give the two central defenders a chance to get close, so he shot directly near the line of the forbidden area.

The ball flew past Corona's aerial save and towards the far goal, and countless Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV set widened their eyes in anticipation of the first goal of the Chinese team.

The Chinese CCTV commentator excitedly explained to the domestic audience:

"Tackle, Zhao Peng tackled, Zhang Linpeng got the ball!"

"Long pass, beautiful, Zhang Linpeng passed the ball to Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team's counterattack opportunity!"

"Pass, Lu Wenbin passed!"

"Good opportunity, Wu Lei received a pass from Lu Wenbin, single-handed!"

"Shot, shot, Wu Lei shot!"

In the expectant gaze of the commentator, Wu Lei's shooting skills were still a step worse, the ball failed to score, but it hit the post and bounced back into the forbidden area.

The commentator sighed "oops" and sighed: "Oh, the goalpost, Wu Lei's shot hit the goalpost!" ”

The commentator was about to say that the Chinese team had missed a good chance to score when he noticed a figure wearing the No. 6 jersey of the Chinese team in the forbidden area.

As soon as the sighs of some Chinese fans and the joy of Mexican fans sounded in the stands, everyone saw that Lu Wenbin threw off the Mexican midfielder who was closely guarding him and rushed into the forbidden area, stabbing the ball into the empty goal before everyone could react.

Corona, who had just gotten up after Wu Lei's single shot failed, didn't even make a return move, and watched Lu Wenbin shoot the ball into the goal guarded by his own family.

Suddenly, all the Chinese fans in the stands were excited.

The Chinese CCTV commentator slapped his face and shouted in his loudest voice: "Supplementary shot, Lu Wenbin bounced Wu Lei's shot to the center post and the ball into the forbidden area." The goal was scored, the Chinese team scored, and the Chinese team scored the first goal of this Olympic Games! ”

The guest exclaimed: "Only Lu Wenbin has such fast speed and running ability, and can seize this opportunity to make up shots!" ”

The commentator nodded and said: "Lu Wenbin is worthy of being the number one superstar in football, his strength is extraordinary, and this time he was supposed to assist Wu Lei." But Wu Lei's shot failed, and Lu Wenbin personally shot the ball in. The Chinese team scored the first goal of the Olympic Games and the second goal in the history of the Chinese men's football team, the last time it was scored by Dong Fangzhuo at the Beijing Olympics. ”

The guest said: "I am confident that I will never score another goal this time. Under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team will definitely have more historic breakthroughs. ”

The narrator said, "Not bad! It's a must! ”

On the field, Wu Lei was patting his head in frustration after the failed shot, but he didn't expect to see Lu Wenbin rushing into the forbidden area to shoot the ball he missed.

China opened the scoring and took a 1-0 lead.

Wu Lei suddenly screamed and rushed over, hugging Lu Wenbin fiercely.

Other teammates also rushed up from the backfield excitedly, celebrating with Lu Wenbin and Wu Lei, while the Mexican players and fans were silent.

The time of Lu Wenbin's goal was close to the end of the first half, and the Chinese team's celebration was delayed for a while.

So not long after the restart, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

After taking a 1-0 lead, the game was even better, and the Chinese team's defensive counterattack strategy was more determined.

The Mexican team, on the other hand, can only continue to attack aggressively. After all, now that they are behind the score, they will not get a point until the end.

If the offense can tie the score, it will be good for Mexico. Therefore, after the start of the second half, Mexico could only continue to attack.

Mexico is the real favorite to win the championship, and the overall strength is indeed much stronger than the Chinese team.

Even if most of the Chinese team shrank in their own half to defend the bus, plus the retreat defense of Lu Wenbin, a full-value defender, he almost lost the gate many times.

In the 53rd minute, Mexico almost broke through the goal in a corner kick, but fortunately, the opponent's header bounced off the crossbar and bounced back into the forbidden area before being kicked out of the sideline by Wu Xi to clear the siege.

In the 67th minute, Mexico striker Fabian hit a high-quality long-range shot from outside the no-go zone.

The ball went straight to the corner, but fortunately Zeng Cheng reacted quickly and a world-class flying save lifted the ball off the sideline and defused the shot.

This is a completely different feeling from the Asian team, Lu Wenbin can only keep running around in the backfield to assist the defense, and he can't even attack.

But Lu Wenbin can't attack on his own, he has a vision and passing level far beyond his peers.

In the 74th minute, Lu Wenbin finally got another chance to counterattack.

Mexican striker Peralta dribbled in front of him and tried to break through Lu Wenbin, who intercepted him, but Lu Wenbin saw the opportunity to grab the ball and stabbed the ball away.

Then Lu Wenbin immediately used his excellent physical fitness to resist Peralta's counterattack, stuck in the position to protect the ball first, and waited for the opportunity.

The moment Wu Lei saw Lu Wenbin break the ball, he turned around near the halfway line and rushed towards the Mexican half.

At the moment when Wu Lei was about to stagger with the Mexican backline, Lu Wenbin saw the opportunity and made a long pass to Wu Lei.

Wu Lei's running position and Lu Wenbin's pass matched to a point, Wu Lei successfully countered offside, and received Lu Wenbin's straight plug in the Mexican half to form a single knife, and the Mexican defenders raised their hands to signal that Wu Lei's offside action was ignored by the referee and the linesman.

Wu Lei didn't waste Lu Wenbin's opportunity again, he only passed three long-distance strokes, and then adjusted his posture to complete the hanging shot against the attacking goalkeeper Corona outside the big forbidden area.

The ball went over Corona's head and into Mexico's empty net.

Lu Wenbin assisted Wu Lei to score China's second goal, and China led Mexico 2-0.

With a two-goal lead, the Chinese team is getting closer and closer to its first victory in Olympic history.

The Chinese fans in the stands have gone crazy, waving national flags and banners in the stands and cheering and screaming loudly to vent the excitement in their hearts.

The players on the field also celebrated warmly around Lu Wenbin and Wu Lei.
