Chapter 634: Marriage Events
After returning to Spain, Lu Wenbin not only had to participate in the competition, but also discussed marriage with his fiancée, his parents, and Kate's family.
Originally, the Chinese team had three more World Preliminary Matches in June after the end of the club's 2012/2013 season.
If Australia's points keep up and the Chinese team fails to qualify in advance, then Lu Wenbin will have to return to the national team to participate in the World Preliminary Tournament immediately after the club game.
But now that the Chinese team has qualified ahead of schedule, the remaining three rounds of the World Preliminaries (there is one round of the Chinese team with a bye, which is actually two) Lu Wenbin will not have to participate.
As a result, between the last round of La Liga and the first round of the group stage of the Confederations Cup, Lu Wenbin had a gap of about half a month.
Therefore, Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui put forward a request to get married at that time.
After thinking about it, Lu Wenbin agreed.
It's just that the so-called honeymoon will only be played in Brazil in the Confederations Cup!
Of course, Kate doesn't have any opinions. It doesn't matter if there is no honeymoon, as long as she can get married, it is the happiest thing for her.
All that's left is to discuss the date of the wedding, choose a place to get married, and invite friends and family.
According to Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui's requirements, the wedding must be held in their hometown, and they have no other requirements.
But Kate's parents also asked for a wedding in Dietford, so that their relatives and friends in Germany could come to congratulate them.
If it is only held once in Lu Wenbin's hometown, those relatives and friends in Germany will really not be able to arrive.
In the end, the two parties tentatively agreed to hold two weddings: a Western-style wedding in Dietford, Germany, and a Chinese-style wedding in Meitan, Guizhou, China.
The wedding in Germany was attended by relatives and friends of the Kate family, as well as various players, club owners, and endorsement brand management that Lu Wenbin has been with in Europe for several years.
The wedding held in Guizhou's hometown was mainly Lu Wenbin's own family of relatives and friends and people from all walks of life.
As for the specific time and handling matters, they were handed over to two Chinese and German wedding companies respectively, and the parents of both sides assisted in supplementing.
Lu Wenbin and Kate just need to wait to get married.
……
On March 30, in the 29th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Zaragoza away.
Although he knew that Lu Wenbin had just finished the World Preliminary Tournament and the Chinese team had qualified ahead of schedule, celebrated, and then flew over most of the world to reverse jet lag, Lu Wenbin's condition was definitely not very good.
But this season, Barcelona has really bitten Real Madrid too hard in the La Liga standings.
With the exception of the two games lost to Real Madrid, Barcelona played too well in the rest of the games, even better than Real Madrid.
Therefore, Mourinho also brought Lu Wenbin away in this game, but he didn't start.
Sure enough, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Zaragoza in the first half and showed no sign of a goal lead after the start of the second half.
There was no way, Mourinho could only replace Lu Wenbin in the 64th minute.
After Lu Wenbin came on the field, Real Madrid really changed a lot in both offense and defense.
Defensively, there is Lu Wenbin's full value of defense and position selection attributes, which can give Real Madrid's midfield a high degree of protection, and Lu Wenbin's deterrence can also reduce the number of opponents' counterattacks and decisiveness.
Offensively, Lu Wenbin is the core of Real Madrid, who can break through, shoot from a distance, head shots, free kicks, grab points, pass assists and so on.
After more than ten minutes on the field, in the 77th minute, Lu Wenbin really used a front-court collision with Benzema to hit the wall to score a low shot into the forbidden area.
Real Madrid finally took a 2-1 lead away from home.
Although Zaragoza fought back in the following games, they were never able to score.
Real Madrid won an away win thanks to a goal from Lu Wenbin as a substitute and continued to lead the standings.
Next, it's European time.
On April 3, in the quarterfinals of the 2012/2013 Champions League, Real Madrid hosted Galatasaray.
This is a team in Istanbul, Turkey, which is very crazy on its home turf and has overturned many European giants.
However, on the road, Galatasaray's gap in strength and mentality makes it difficult for them to beat those European giants.
In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals held at the Bernabeu, Galatasaray was beaten a clean 5-0 by Real Madrid led by Lu Wenbin.
This score basically means that the suspense of the second leg is lost.
Back in Istanbul in the second leg, no matter how crazy Galatasaray played, it was impossible to reverse the situation of falling behind 0-5.
Before the second leg, Real Madrid played a league game.
On April 6, in the 30th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Levante.
After 90 minutes, the score was 4-0 on the big screen and Real Madrid won by four goals.
However, although the score was high, Real Madrid did not play much in this game, and Lu Wenbin was also replaced at halftime.
Although no one thought Galatasaray could turn the tables in the second leg of the Champions League, Mourinho did not want to lose too ugly on the road.
What's more, Turkey's away game, if Real Madrid is too careless, and that kind of small probability event really happens, it will become a stain on him for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Mourinho still cautiously made some preparations.
Sure enough, with the cheers of more than 50,000 fans at home, Galatasaray did not take the initiative to give up the game, but gave up the domestic league and focused on this game to fight to the death.
Although everyone knows that they are nine out of ten dead, the Turks will not take the initiative to admit defeat. Even if you know you will lose, you have to lose vigorously.
And they really scored first.
In the 11th minute, Galatasaray relied on their striker's long-range shot from the big penalty zone to hit Ramos' toe to form a lucky deflection ball, which dodged Adan and landed on the back of the net.
Galatasaray took a 1-0 lead at home.
However, in the 31st minute, Real Madrid equalised with a header from a corner kick by defender Sergio Ramos.
Then, before the end of the first half, in the 45th minute, Lu Wenbin took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to score Real Madrid's second goal with a long run.
Real Madrid completed the comeback, leading Galatasaray 2-1 away from home, and led by six goals on aggregate 7-1, which can basically declare Galatasaray's hope of a comeback is nil.
So, Lu Wenbin was replaced at halftime.
As a result, under this aggregate score, Galatasaray did not give up fighting with Real Madrid, and continued to attack desperately in the second half.
In the end, Real Madrid scored another goal in the second half, but Galatasaray, who were on a hot stage at home, scored three.
The final score was 4-3, with the home team in front and the away team behind, and after a game of twists and turns, Real Madrid lost the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final away from home.
However, it was Real Madrid who advanced 8-4 to the last four of the 2012/2013 Champions League.
