About 20 minutes before the start of the game, the warm-up players from both sides left the field and returned to the locker room to change their uniforms, and the head coach began to lay out the final tactics or speeches.

For the Chinese team, there is nothing to say in terms of tactics, and it has always played 4231 defensive counterattacks, but several new starters such as Wu Lei need to be reminded.

In this game, the Chinese team's starting goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders Rong Hao, Zhao Peng, Wang Qiang, Zhang Linpeng, defenders Zhao Xuri, Wang Yongpo, forwards Deng Zhuoxiang, Hao Junmin, forward Lu Wenbin, single forward Wu Lei.

Wu Lei squeezed out Gao Lin to become the starting striker of the national team, precisely because of his achievements and performance in the Olympic Games.

In the past, the Chinese team would always find various reasons for losing the game, such as high pressure at home, unaccustomed away games, slippery turf, bad weather, referees taking care of opponents, bad luck, etc.

Now this team is not allowed to make those excuses, because all the pressure is actually on Lu Wenbin.

As the captain and core of the Chinese team, Lu Wenbin is the one who bears the most responsibility.

Gao Hongbo told everyone that there is no such thing as a tie and victory in this game of national concern, and it must be won. Lu Wenbin, in particular, must take on the heavy responsibility of leading the Chinese team to win.

Lu Wenbin responded with his head held high, without refusing at all.

Outside, stadium announcements began to introduce the rosters of both sides.

When the Japanese players were introduced, there was silence in the room, with only a few hundred Japanese fans clapping in the corner.

When the Chinese team players were introduced, the audience applauded thunderously. Especially when reading No. 6 Lu Wenbin, the call of the audience reached its peak.

At this time, Lu Wenbin is the banner of Chinese football.

At 19:20, the appearance ceremony began, and the players from both sides led the little ball boy into the venue, and then played the national anthem, shook hands, took a group photo, and picked the edges.

In the side-picking ceremony organized by the referee, captain Lu Wenbin won the right to kick off for the Chinese team.

After forming a circle with his teammates and making the final agitation, everyone shouted "win" together, and then dispersed, Lu Wenbin and Wu Lei walked to the middle circle, ready to kick off.

At 19:30 on the evening of March 26, 2013, with the referee's whistle, the seventh round of Group B of the top 10 qualifiers for the World Cup in Brazil officially began.

The other match that was played at the same time was Australia hosting Oman and Iraq had a bye.

At the beginning of the game, the CCTV commentator habitually addressed the audience in front of the TV, and then introduced the starting lineups of the players on both sides.

As a result, before the two names were pronounced, the narrator suddenly realized that something was wrong:

"Wait, Lu Wenbin didn't pass back after kicking off, but dribbled the ball to the Japanese team's half, and he had already lost the first player."

On the court, I saw that after Wu Lei kicked off the ball in the middle circle and passed it to Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin did not pass back, but suddenly knocked forward, and used his body and speed to pass the Japanese team's striker Ryoichi Maeda with a simple stroke, and killed the Japanese team's forbidden area.

Lu Wenbin wanted to use the kick-off to catch Japan off guard, just like the fastest goal in Champions League history he scored against Lyon.

On the court, Lu Wenbin's forward insertion with the ball really caught the Japanese team off guard.

Because Lu Wenbin has indeed not staged an opening attack on the court for a long time, everyone has forgotten about it.

Ryuichi Maeda, whose defensive ability is mediocre, was passed by a photo, and the midfielder Shinji Kagawa in the back was also easily passed by Lu Wenbin's feint of stepping on a bicycle, and only Makoto Hasebe, who was the back midfielder, concentrated his attention and was ready to intercept.

Lu Wenbin Makoto Hasebe slowed down the speed, and then outside the big forbidden area, Makoto Hasebe and the central defenders Maya Yoshida and Yasuyuki Konno, who quickly made up the defense, were surrounded by three people, and they could no longer advance into the forbidden zone.

Wu Lei plugged in the back row not far away, shouting "Captain, here" while running.

Hearing this, Lu Wenbin made a move to pass the ball in the direction of Wu Lei's forward insertion, causing Maya Yoshida to move a small step towards Wu Lei's side.

It was this small step that allowed Lu Wenbin to seize the opportunity to shoot.

Lu Wenbin knocked the ball into the gap between Maya Yoshida and Yasuyuki Konno, then took a step forward and lifted his right leg to volley.

Maya Yoshida and Yasuyuki Konno, who found that they had been fooled, could not touch the ball even though they stretched out their legs to destroy.

The ball passed in front of the toes of Maya Yoshida and Yasuyuki Konno and sped towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima had already concentrated his attention when Lu Wenbin came over with the ball alone, but Lu Wenbin's shot angle was too awkward, and his hard save still failed to touch the ball.

Seeing the ball fly in front of his palm, Kawashima Eiji's heart was cold.

The spectators in the stands also held their breath, wondering if the game was about to score a goal at the beginning of the game?

The commentator also shouted: "Lu Wenbin shot ......"

Then, the ball that avoided the goalkeeper's fingers hit the post and bounced off the line.

Lu Wenbin's shot was too angle-oriented, and as a result, it hit the post and bounced off the bottom line and failed to score.

There was a sigh in the stands, and countless fans who had stood up and were ready to celebrate beat their chests, feeling sorry for Lu Wenbin, the ball that was not scored.

However, after the chagrin, everyone quickly applauded Lu Wenbin and praised his shot.

Contrary to the reaction of the Chinese team, the Japanese team was first startled, and then saw the ball hit the post and pop off the bottom line, and they were happy again.

After calming down, I felt a huge amount of pressure rushing over my face.

Lu Wenbin: This is simply a disgrace to the Japanese team.

Although he didn't score, he scared the Japanese players and fans enough.

Looking at Lu Wenbin's gaze, he all looked frightened.

Such a result caused the Japanese team not to dare to attack after the opening, giving the Chinese players more time to adapt to the game and enter the state.

Under the national attention, except for Lu Wenbin, the other players are still more or less nervous, no matter how Gao Hongbo and Lu Wenbin explain, it is useless.

In the 6th minute, full-back Deng Zhuoxiang broke through a Japanese midfielder after taking the ball in the middle and crossed at a 45-degree angle on the side.

Wu Lei suddenly turned back to the opponent's forbidden area at the moment when Deng Zhuoxiang got up, successfully countered offside, and then rushed to the top of the big forbidden area line before the opponent's defender, and shot with a header.

The ball crossed a parabola and flew towards the far corner of the goal.

Fortunately, the ball was far enough away to give Kawashima Eiji enough time to react, and he was standing on the line of the small forbidden area and wanted to attack Wu Lei's single knife, he braked urgently, turned around to save it, and successfully took the ball off.

Although it didn't score, the Chinese team had two very threatening attacks in just 6 minutes of the opening game, which was still very exciting.

The Chinese fans in the stands were overjoyed and kept cheering for the Chinese team, hoping to usher in the first goal as soon as possible.
