Chapter 514: First Battle of Singapore
At the Kunming national team training base, Gao Hongbo expressed his gratitude to Lu Wenbin for his support.
If it weren't for Lu Wenbin's support for him, he might have been replaced by Camacho.
Lu Wenbin said that he just doesn't want the national team to have turmoil, the new coach comes to power, and he has to re-select players and practice tactics, and when the world preliminaries are about to start, that kind of approach is obviously extremely unfavorable to the Chinese team.
Therefore, he strongly supported Gao Hongbo and opposed the pre-war change of coach.
Gao Hongbo said he understood.
Subsequently, Gao Hongbo asked whether Lu Wenbin could not play as a striker, but as a striker.
The national football team adopts the same 4231 formation as Mourinho, allowing Lu Wenbin to play in the front midfield, which is in the same vein as Real Madrid's formation, so that Lu Wenbin can take more responsibility, not only scoring goals himself, but also assisting his teammates to score.
If Lu Wenbin plays a single striker, he may really be nailed to death by the opponent sending a few more people.
But if Lu Wenbin takes a step back and plays the front waist, he can shoot and assist, he can be on the side, he can advance and retreat, then the opponent will be much more difficult to prevent.
As Lu Wenbin did in the forward position of Real Madrid, although the number of goals did not soar much, the offensive improvement of the entire team was extremely effective.
Lu Wenbin naturally agreed.
With full value of vision, passing, and judgment, Lu Wenbin also feels that he is more of a threat in the forward position than in the forward position, which is more conducive to the victory of his team.
After this was decided, on the evening of September 2, 2011, when the first round of Group A of the top 20 group stage of the Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers China team VS Singapore match officially started at Kunming Tuodong Stadium, Lu Wenbin appeared in the forward position of the Chinese team's 4231 formation.
And, according to the information revealed by Gao Hongbo at the pre-match press conference, Lu Wenbin will play this position for a long time in the future, responsible for the counterattack of the Chinese team and the important task of organizing the attack.
Zheng Zhi, the original front waist of the organization, retreated to play the back waist, which can give full play to Zheng Zhizhi's all-round ability to attack and defend.
Singapore is undoubtedly the weakest team in Group A, while the other three teams, China, Iraq and Jordan, are stronger than Singapore in any of their teams.
Singapore is the belly of the other three teams in Group A to pick up points and clean sheets.
In the face of such a soy sauce fish belly team, China naturally did not need to carefully shrink the defense, but pressed up from the beginning of the game and began to attack, just giving full play to Lu Wenbin's ability to organize and attack.
When other Chinese players are blocked with the ball, they can always see Lu Wenbin appear in the nearby gap, as long as they hand the ball to Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin's off-ball running ability, physique, and speed allow him to always get rid of defenders and appear around his teammates in time to respond, and then choose to break or pass.
However, the Chinese players' shooting skills do need to be complimented.
The starting single striker in this game is Gao Lin, known as Gao Airplane.
In the 8th minute, Lu Wenbin made a collision with fullback Hao Junmin and suddenly a through pass broke through Singapore's defense, Gao Lin received this second pass in the forbidden area, and raised his foot to shoot with almost no interference.
As a result, he kicked the ball high and flew off the crossbar and went straight to the stands, and the Tuodong Stadium suddenly resounded with the lamentations of countless fans.
Gao Lin himself also held his head in his hands, with an expression of disbelief.
However, this is the case, he wasted a wonderful pass from Lu Wenbin and wasted a great chance to score in the first group stage of the top 20 of the World Preliminary Tournament.
The ability of the other players in the Chinese team is too incompatible with Lu Wenbin.
However, this is also something that cannot be done. It is impossible for Lu Wenbin to change his nationality to join other national teams, so he can only continue to persevere, just like Shepchenko and Drogba are facing.
The game continued.
Although his teammates are a little weak, Lu Wenbin's personal ability is still too strong to be stopped.
In the 13th minute, Singapore's attack was cut off by Zheng Zhi and handed over to Lu Wenbin, who started from the back with the ball and directly connected three people into Singapore's forbidden zone.
Facing Singapore's goalkeeper Iswan, Lu Wenbin first dunked the ball to the left, and Iswan, who was nervous, moved to the left.
Then, Lu Wenbin took the ball to the right again, and was ready to pass the goalkeeper together, and then hit the empty goal.
If it is a goalkeeper of the level of Casillas and Buffon, Lu Wenbin's simple smashing and squeezing action is unlikely to break through the past.
But Iswan's ability was too far apart and too nervous, and Lu Wenbin deceived him with his first feint, so that he found that Lu Wenbin was too late to save the ball when he broke through to the other side.
As long as Lu Wenbin breaks through the past, it is obviously an empty door.
With Lu Wenbin's footwork and shooting skills, it is impossible for this ball to fly.
He is not Gao Lin with the title of Gao Airplane.
Iswan was in a hurry, and he didn't think much about it, just thinking that he couldn't let Lu Wenbin break through the past and hit the empty goal.
So, Iswan, who couldn't save the ball, reached out and grabbed Lu Wenbin's foot and directly pulled Lu Wenbin down in the forbidden area.
Then, when the referee rushed over, pointed to the penalty spot, and showed Iswan a yellow card, Iswan suddenly realized how wrong he had been.
This business is simply a big loss.
Whether it is an empty goal or a penalty, is there a big difference for Lu Wenbin?
And he got a yellow card for nothing, and he was unjustly killed.
However, the frustration at this point has no effect.
Lu Wenbin stood up, scooped up the ball and came to the penalty spot, waited for the referee to blow the whistle, and kicked the ball directly into the dead corner.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Lu Wenbin made a penalty and scored it himself, helping the Chinese team lead Singapore 1-0 at home and score the first goal in the group stage of the top 20 of the world preliminaries.
At the scene, in front of the TV, in the square, and in the park, countless Chinese fans cheered excitedly.
After scoring the first goal, the players of the Chinese team seemed to be under a lot less pressure and played a little better.
In the 25th minute, Lu Wenbin launched an attack, tearing apart Singapore's defense through continuous passing, and finally Qu Bo assisted Gao Lin to score the second goal of the Chinese team.
Gao Lin finally did not play again this time, and the Chinese team led 2-0.
In the 32nd minute, Zheng Zhi was pulled down by Singaporean midfielder Qiu Li and won a free kick for the Chinese team.
Lu Wenbin opened the system skills overnight and completed a brace, and the Chinese team led 3-0.
More than ten minutes later, before the end of the first half, Lu Wenbin's cross from the side assisted Qu Bo to score, and the Chinese team led 4-0.
In the first half alone, the Chinese team had almost sealed the victory of the game.
