On the field, it was indeed Italy that was pressing the Chinese team to play.

Italy is also indeed entitled to be disregarded.

Even when many of the main players did not start and Lu Wenbin guarded the back, Italy still made the Chinese team's goal dangerous.

In the 7th minute, Montolivo crossed diagonally from the wing, Diamanti grabbed the ball before Wang Yongpo and then shot with his feet in the forbidden area.

Fortunately, Zhao Peng rushed over next to him and blocked the ball.

In the 14th minute, El Shaarawy crossed from the bottom, and Gilardino had already occupied the first point and was about to head the goal.

Lu Wenbin rushed in from outside the no-go zone, jumped high, pressed on the top of Gilardino's head, and flew the ball over the crossbar to relieve the siege.

In the 21st minute, Candreva took the ball to face Lu Wenbin's defense but did not return the pass, and wanted to break through Lu Wenbin.

As a result, Lu Wenbin made a precise tackle and directly broke the ball, and there was no foul.

The overall strength of Italy's players is indeed much stronger than that of the Chinese team, and their cooperation is also better than that of the Chinese team.

Although Lu Wenbin was in the backcourt, he still played dangerously.

But there is a key problem, and the Italian players are not working hard enough.

Some half-to-half chances between the two sides will be grabbed by Chinese players most of the time, because Italian players are afraid of injury and it is not cost-effective.

There are also some balls that are passed big, if you chase them desperately, it is possible to chase them back, but Italian players rarely chase them, just watch it go out of bounds, or be picked up by Chinese players.

Sometimes when a cross from the side is needed to fight for a header in the middle, in the face of the fierce Chinese team, Italian players can rarely rush to the top of the goal regardless of the risk of injury.

All Italian players should think in their hearts: "We are so strong, we can win by playing casually, so we don't have to fight with the Chinese." ”

Moreover, subconsciously there should still be a mentality of "it's not a champion anyway, it's just a competition for third place, even if you lose in an accident, it doesn't matter".

The players of the Chinese team are working very hard.

In everyone's mind, this is not a third-place or four-place final, but a championship match, even if you are injured, just to win.

If they can win the third place in the Confederations Cup, even if they quit the national team from now on, it will be enough for them to return to China for a lifetime.

Therefore, although Italy's strength is much stronger than the Chinese team, it is far inferior to the Chinese team in terms of fighting spirit.

As a result, although Italy has been pressing the Chinese team, it is difficult to hit the threatening shot within the goal frame.

On the one hand, Lu Wenbin sat in the middle and defused most of Italy's attacks in the middle.

On the other hand, it was also the Chinese team that used their lives to continuously resolve Italy's attack.

Not only is it desperately defending, but in addition to defense, the Chinese team also has to think about attacking.

After all, their ideal is to win. To win, you have to score.

If you don't score, even if it drags 0-0 to the penalty shootout, you will definitely lose.

Whether it is the level of the goalkeeper or the strength of the players who take penalty kicks, the Chinese team is completely inferior.

Only 90 minutes, or at most 120 minutes, can defeat Italy for the Chinese team to win and win the third place.

However, Italy's defense is also too strong.

Although they are pressing the attack, many times just relying on the joint defense of positioning and tacit understanding can delay or even stop the attack of the Chinese team.

Even if it can't be stopped, there is still a goalkeeper Buffon standing in the goal, isn't it?

In the 9th minute, the Chinese team counterattacked, and Lu Wenbin gave Hao Junmin a side, and Hao Junmin crossed to the middle, ready to find Wu Lei to shoot.

As a result, the ball was intercepted by Chiellini in the middle of the way, and Wu Lei did not touch the ball.

In the 18th minute, Lu Wenbin personally dribbled the ball forward, collided with Deng Zhuoxiang to cooperate with Candreva to get past Candreva, and then shook off Chiellini at the top of the arc of the big forbidden area to get a shot angle and then hit the goal with his feet.

The ball flew into the air and headed straight to the right of the goal, and was about to graze the post when a gloved opponent appeared on the way: Lu Wenbin's shot was saved by Buffon.

The two sides went back and forth, and the score remained 0-0 for half an hour.

Then, in the 32nd minute, the Chinese team finally got another chance.

This time it was Italy's wing attack, Lu Wenbin commanded Zhang Linpeng to go forward to defend and forced the opponent to cross with his feet, and Lu Wenbin, who had been prepared, grabbed the ball to Zhao Peng before Gilardino.

After landing, Lu Wenbin turned around and rushed forward, and ran out of the gap, turning back as he ran, and signaling Zhao Peng to pass the ball over.

Zhao Peng understood, and without waiting for Gilardino who wanted to counter-rob to get close to him, he passed the ball to the position in front of Lu Wenbin.

The ball was passed a little wide, and nearby De Rossi rushed up to compete with Lu Wenbin.

But Lu Wenbin's acceleration was too fast, and he was the first to touch the ball.

However, Lu Wenbin is also about to collide with De Rossi.

De Rossi thought to himself that he would hit it, as long as he could leave Lu Wenbin behind, it would be better than him taking the ball to his own half.

As a result, the two did not have a violent head-on collision, De Rossi was only hit on the shoulder on the side, staggered a little, and then fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.

De Rossi immediately raised his hand to signal Lu Wenbin to foul, but the referee ignored it: Lu Wenbin used a beautiful Marseille slalom to pass him, and there was no foul action.

Lu Wenbin, who didn't hear the referee's whistle, naturally ignored De Rossi behind him, and rushed to Italy's forbidden area with the ball as fast as possible: he couldn't give the opponent a chance to return to defense.

Because of Italy's overall pressure on the attack, Lu Wenbin, who passed De Rossi, only had three people in front of him at this time: midfielder Candreva, defender Astori, and Chiellini.

Moreover, these three people also have to defend Deng Zhuoxiang and Wu Lei.

Chiellini followed Wu Lei, Astori defended Deng Zhuoxiang, and only Candreva retreated from the side, trying to wait for the rest of his teammates to come back.

But Lu Wenbin's speed was too fast, and Montolivo, Maggio, and Desiglio's return speed did not catch up with him.

As the distance got closer and closer, it was almost retreating to the 'Big Forbidden Zone' line, and Candreva had no choice but to grab and try to grab it.

At the same time, Chiellini also threw away Wu Lei and was about to rush over to help defend: Lu Wenbin was much more of a threat than Wu Lei.

But Lu Wenbin did not give Chiellini a chance to get closer.

He shook Candreva hard with a bull's tail, and then he didn't pass at all, but shook Candreva off and fired a left-footed shot from outside the no-go zone.

Lu Wenbin's left and right feet were well balanced, and his left-footed shot did not affect the quality of this long-range shot at all.

The ball flew up in front of Chiellini, past Buffon's fingers, slammed into the crossbar, and then landed in the goal and was fished out by Buffon, who had landed, and held in his arms.

The Chinese players immediately cheered, but the Italian players repeatedly signaled to the referee that the goal had not been scored, and was saved by Buffon.

The referee also frowned, and instead of blowing the whistle, he asked the linesman.

It was a goal-line shot.

Did the ball cross the goal line in its entirety?

Is it China's goal or Italy's goal?

The referee was a little undecided.

He had to turn to the linesman and the computer door technology that was only introduced in this edition of the Confederations Cup.
