Chapter 695: Door God Lu Wenbin
Neymar's feints did not deceive Lu Wenbin.
The full-value goalkeeping skills allowed Lu Wenbin to predict the direction of his shot through Neymar's ankle shaking and touching the ball, and started to save in advance.
Although Neymar's ball kicked a dead corner, Lu Wenbin, who was accurately predicted and started in advance, flew to save and reached out to pull the ball out of the bottom line.
Lu Wenbin made his first cameo appearance as a goalkeeper in his career, and he saved a penalty kick from Neymar, the successor of the king of football.
In an instant, the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV went crazy.
The CCTV commentator was even more excited to jump on the commentary seat and roared wildly:
"Saved, Lu Wenbin saved the penalty!"
"Oh my God, Lu Wenbin is a god!"
"Door God, Ball God, Lu Wenbin definitely deserves it!"
Not only the commentators, not only the Chinese fans, the Chinese audience, but the audience all over the world was in an uproar.
“Oh,my-god!”
"Incredible, incredible!"
"Lou actually saved the penalty!"
"Such a tricky penalty, Lu Du saved it!"
"Lu's goalkeeping skills are so good?"
"Never heard of it before?"
"I worship Lou so much, this is the god of football, the god of football!"
After Zeng Cheng was sent off with a red card and the Chinese team was awarded a penalty, everyone thought that the Chinese team was over, and the Chinese team's World Cup journey was over.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenbin, who had never played as a goalkeeper, took Zeng Cheng's gloves, became a goalkeeper, and saved the penalty kick of Neymar, the number one star of the Brazilian team, who went straight to the dead corner.
It's amazing!
This is a god-level performance!
At the penalty spot, Neymar, who watched Lu Wenbin save his penalty, was already stunned.
Looking at Lu Wenbin, who was surrounded by the Chinese players and celebrating wildly after saving the penalty, Neymar and his Brazilian teammates could only be stunned.
In the next corner kick, the players on both sides did not grab it, and Lu Wenbin jumped up directly and took it away with both hands.
After the game restarted, there was one less person, and there was no frontal defense and counterattack threat from Lu Wenbin, the Brazilian team's attack was more ferocious, even the defenders pressed over the middle line, and the attack in the middle was much more ferocious than before.
In the more than 10 minutes before the end of extra time, Brazil had three shots from the woodwork. One of them was a long-range shot from outside the no-go zone and two shots were from the no-go zone.
However, all three shots from the range of the goal frame were saved by Lu Wenbin.
In more than ten minutes of guest goalkeepers, including penalty kicks, Lu Wenbin's save success rate was 100%.
Every time Lu Wenbin makes a save, it will cause a tsunami of applause from Chinese fans and fans from other countries.
Only the Brazilian fans at home, one by one, are like bitter gourd faces, eager to swallow Lu Wenbin.
Looking at Lu Wenbin's god-level performance, the Brazilian felt more and more bad in his heart.
Two minutes into stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of extra time.
With Lu Wenbin's god-level 100% save success rate, the Chinese team withstood the ferocious attack of the Brazilian team in the last ten minutes and maintained the score of 2-2 until the end of extra time.
The two sides had to go to penalties.
However, the expressions of the players and fans on both sides are already very different.
The Chinese fans were elated and ready to start celebrating the victory. The Brazilian fans, on the other hand, looked pained, as if they knew they were going to be eliminated.
After a few minutes of rest, the two managers arranged the penalty line-up before the penalty shootout began.
The first to take a penalty was the Chinese team, and the first penalty taker was Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin walked to the penalty spot and kicked the ball into the corner, and Cesar even made a mistake in the direction.
Then, when it was Brazil's turn to make a free throw, Lu Wenbin walked to the goal line and waited for Brazil's first free thrower.
Perhaps worried that Neymar was affected by the penalty just missed, the first penalty taker arranged by the Brazilian team was not Neymar, but striker Oscar.
However, the Oscars didn't work either.
Although the quality of his penalty was good, it went straight to the top left corner, but it was still saved by Lu Wenbin in advance.
The Chinese fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers and screams, while the Brazilian fans were in pain, and Oscar could only walk back to the halfway line with his head down.
The first round of the penalty shootout ended, and the Chinese team led 1-0.
In the second round, the Chinese team was Wu Lei's free throws.
scored a goal before, which gave Wu Lei a lot of confidence.
Although Cesar judged the right direction, Wu Lei's ball was of very high quality, and Cesar still couldn't save the ball.
Then it was Brazil's second turn, striker Fred.
As a result, it may be that Lu Wenbin brought him too much psychological pressure, and Fred's soft penalty kick was directly pressed under Lu Wenbin.
The second round of the penalty shootout ended, and the Chinese team led 2-0.
Victory is within reach.
However, Hao Junmin, who made free throws in the third round, did not play well, and the angle was not tricky, and he was saved by Cesar.
On the Brazilian team's side, it was Lu Wenbin's teammate Marcelo in Real Madrid who made the penalty kicks, and he has experienced too many big scenes.
Even though Lu Wenbin's cameo performance as goalkeeper scared Marcelo a lot, his penalty kicks didn't lose their level.
Marcelo didn't make any feints and kicked the ball straight into the top right corner.
Although Lu Wenbin judged the right direction, the penalty was too close, and Marcelo's shot was powerful, fast, and awkward, almost drilling into a theoretical dead end.
Lu Wenbin missed the ball by a fraction of a second.
At the end of the third round of penalty kicks, Brazil finally pulled a goal back thanks to Marcelo's excellent performance, and the two sides were 2-1.
The media and fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Lu Wenbin's penalty kick was not 100%, and someone could still score it.
Otherwise, it's too scary.
In the fourth round, it was Zheng Zhi who made free throws for the Chinese team.
Zheng Zhi's penalty was very steady, and Cesar judged the right direction, but he still couldn't touch the ball, and watched the ball pass in front of his fingers and fly into the net.
China 3-1 Brazil.
This time the pressure left for Brazil's fourth penalty taker is quite large.
If this goal is missed, with one round left, the Chinese team is two goals ahead, and the final round can be declared the winner.
It just so happened that the fourth penalty taker of the Brazilian team was Lu Wenbin's captain at Paris Saint-Germain, Thiago Silva.
Silva looked at his Parisian team-mates standing in front of the goal line and felt a little desperate.
With three penalties saved by Lu Wenbin in extra-time and a penalty shoot-out, Silva has already decided that Brazil has lost.
Whether he scores the penalty or not, it can't change the result, Lu Wenbin's goalkeeping skills are too powerful.
I feel better than the world's top goalkeepers Casillas, Buffon and Cech.
But the ball still has to be penalized.
