Chapter 691: The group qualifies
Brazil, Kulicba, Baishada Arena, the third round of the World Cup group stage group stage match between China and Spain.
After the start of the game, Spain took the initiative to attack with the advantage of overall strength, and used its excellent passing and control play to tear apart the Chinese team's defense and score goals.
However, after the training of the first two group games of Chile and the Netherlands, Lu Wenbin and his teammates cooperated more tacitly, and they were more comfortable in commanding and defending.
Although almost the entire team of Spain is a superstar player, it is true that this World Cup is not in good shape.
Especially after losing 5-1 to the Netherlands and 0-2 to Chile in a row, the players of this championship division have taken a considerable blow to their confidence.
The normal passing and cutting runs are not yet visible, but they are evident in the final shot.
In the 14th minute, after almost 20 passes, Xavi finally seized a chance and passed the ball into the gap in the forbidden area.
Villa burrowed into the gap like a loach and volleyed the ball without stopping before the Chinese defenders cleared the ball.
Seeing Villa successfully take the ball and shoot in the forbidden zone, the Chinese fans in the stands held their breath, and the Spanish fans stood up and prepared to celebrate.
As a result, the goal didn't even go in the frame and was far out of the goal.
The Spanish fans in the stands suddenly let out a sigh, and Villa on the pitch also slapped his head with a face full of pain.
This is the aftermath of the 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands and the 2-0 defeat to Chile: the players have a lack of confidence and their shots are out of standard.
In the 22nd minute, Torres played out the same scene: he kicked the ball into the stands after receiving Cesc Fabregas's clever backheel pass.
Spain created a lot of chances with their team-wide passing advantage, but few of them were a threat from the woodwork.
The consequence of constantly wasting opportunities is to be counterattacked by the Chinese team.
In the 30th minute, just half an hour later, Iniesta's pass to Villa was intercepted by Lu Wenbin in the middle of a robbery, and then passed to Yu Hai to play a quick counterattack.
After Yu Hai ran across the halfway line, he crossed at a 45-degree angle before the opponent's fullback stepped forward, and Wu Lei fought for a header in the forbidden area, but did not shoot, but the header was knocked back to Lu Wenbin, who was inserted in the back row.
Lu Wenbin, who was inserted at full speed after passing the ball to Yu Hai, did not wait for the ball to land at the top of the arc of the forbidden area, and volleyed the ball, and the ball pierced the sky like a sharp arrow and hung in the dead corner.
The CCTV commentator raised his arms and shouted:
"The ball is in, the ball is in!"
"Lu Wenbin has scored, and the Chinese team is ahead!"
"China leads defending champion Spain 1-0!"
With Lu Wenbin's volley, the Chinese team led Spain 1-0, and the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV set gave huge cheers.
However, Spain as a whole is indeed stronger.
Although Lu Wenbin is in charge personally, he is still only one person, unable to incarnate thousands of people all over the court.
Before the end of the first half, Spain broke through the defender Zhao Xu's forbidden area, and striker Torres received Iniesta's pass.
Fernando Torres didn't waste another good chance to score and equalise for Spain.
One minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 1-1.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Torres found a lot of confidence and was a little active after scoring the goal, but Gao Hongbo made targeted arrangements at half-time, allowing the midfield to focus on defending Torres and not allowing him to shoot easily.
Lu Wenbin and his teammates faithfully carried out the manager's tactical instructions.
In the 52nd minute, Villa crossed from the side, Torres rushed into the forbidden area and wanted to leap to the top, but Zhao Peng risked colliding and being injured to push the ball away in advance, and did not let Torres reach the ball to form an attack.
In the 68th minute, Xavi's wonderful pass was in the ban' zone, Torres received the ball and adjusted to shoot, but was shoveled away by Lu Wenbin with a precise tackle from the side, but there was no foul.
While defending Torres, who had some confidence restored, Lu Wenbin did not forget to counterattack.
If you score another goal and win, it's always better and more advantageous than a draw.
In the 74th minute, Qin Sheng's close pressing made Iniesta make a passing error, and Lu Wenbin intercepted the ball halfway and began to counterattack with the ball.
After running across the halfway line and breaking through Xavi, Lu's former teammate Ramos rushed up and pulled Lu down to get a free-kick about 35 meters from the goal.
This distance is very far, and it is Ramos who dares to pull down Lu Wenbin decisively and does not hesitate to foul.
There were such long-distance free kicks before, but Lu Wenbin didn't score, so he was a little fearless.
However, although the goal rate of free-kicks from such a long distance is relatively low, it is not completely impossible to score.
Ramos made a mistake.
The key is that Lu Wenbin's system skills have cooled down enough to hit a high-quality shot.
Witnessed by hundreds of millions of viewers at the scene and in front of the TV, Lu Wenbin turned on his system skills and hit a fluctuating elevator ball, which made Casillas lose his judgment on the ball.
The ball slipped through San Cassie's waving hands and into the back of the net.
Casillas' wrist touched the ball, but it couldn't stop it in the net.
China leads Spain 2-1.
The Chinese fans raised their arms and cheered, but Ramos could only hold his head and sigh helplessly.
This conceded goal was caused by his foul.
After scoring this goal, the Chinese team went into defensive mode, hoping to keep the score 2-1 until the end of the game.
But Spain, which lost two games in a row and lost all the bottoms, really can't afford to lose anymore.
Everyone went crazy, running and sprinting desperately, vowing to score. Lu Wenbin and his teammates tried their best, but they could not withstand the Spanish attack.
Finally, in the 88th minute, Spain scored the second goal with Xavi's assist from Villa and equalized again.
However, it was only four or five minutes before the end of the game.
While both sides wanted to score again, there was too little time left for both sides.
After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, and China drew with defending champions Spain thanks to Lu Wenbin's third brace in the group stage.
But the Chinese team couldn't celebrate, and everyone was nervously waiting for the result of another match.
Two minutes later, the other match ended with the Netherlands not letting go and comfortably beating Chile 2-0.
All the Chinese at the scene and in front of the TV instantly burst into huge cheers.
The Dutch team won all three games and accumulated 9 points to qualify for the first place in the group, the Chinese team won one win and one draw and accumulated 4 points to qualify for the second place in the group, and the Chilean team with 3 points and Spain 1 point both went out.
Under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team not only realized its wish for the first victory in the World Cup, but also successfully qualified from the group of death and reached the round of 16 of the World Cup.
