Seven Crowns

At 19:30 in the evening on June 3, 2012, Beijing time, with the referee's whistle, the first match between China and Iraq officially began.

The formation of the Chinese team is still 4231, but the specific tactic of this game is not to defensive counterattack, but to suppress offense.

Because Iraq put on a defensive counterattack as soon as it came up, the Chinese team had to start to press the offensive after a few trials.

On the Asian level, any team may not dare to attack the Chinese team led by Lu Wenbin, let alone this is an away game.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the head coach of Iraq and the famous Brazilian coach Zico allowed his team to put on a defensive counterattack as soon as he came up.

The opponents are like this, the Chinese team naturally can't shrink back and wait for others to attack.

This is the home court of the Chinese team. If you dare not attack as an Asian Cup champion, it would be too laughable.

In the 7th minute, Lu Wenbin almost assisted Gao Lin to break the goal. Unfortunately, Gao Lin's shot went higher than the crossbar, once again using practical actions to interpret the correctness of his "Gao Aircraft" nickname.

In the 12th minute, Lu Wenbin himself had two shots in the penalty box, but it was a pity that the Iraqi defender Akram Shah blocked the shot and blocked the bottom line.

The corner kick from the back did not grab the first point, and the Iraqi player pushed out of the penalty area and cleared it.

In addition to pass organization and breakthrough shots, Lu Wenbin also actively participates in counter grabs.

If the ball falls to the opponent's feet, as long as the distance is not too far, Lu Wenbin will rush up to make a counter grab.

Before Lu Wenbin's defensive ability and selection value were not high, the anti-grab did not have any effect, and was often passed by his opponent.

But in today's game, Lu Wenbin's anti-grab ability surprised people.

In the first ten minutes, Lu Wenbin had a successful counter-robbing, which was almost a threat. It was only because his teammates did not grab the ball he stabbed, that allowed Iraq to escape.

However, in the 16th minute, the Iraqi defender finally made a mistake when he passed the ball from the backcourt.

Lu Wenbin, Gao Lin, and Hao Junmin counter-robbed together, forcing Iraqi full-back Munir to play forward.

But Munir doesn't want to lose possession of the ball. He wants the ball to stay at the feet of his teammates for a while to avoid losing the ball.

Because Lu Wenbin's anti-grab ability was not high in previous games, Munir didn't care too much.

Under Lu Wenbin's pressure, he did not kick the ball out with a big foot, but was going to pass to the midfielder Jasim who seemed to be in the middle.

However, at the moment when Munir was about to pass the ball, Lu Wenbin's full-value counter-grab ability made him a sudden tackle, a landing tackle, and Munir hit the ball together, and the two faced each other. foot.

But Lu Wenbin's falling tackle was much stronger. Munir lost to his foot. He was caught off guard by the inertia and he staggered. He took a step forward and lost his control of the football.

And Lu Wenbin, who fell on the ground, swept in time, swept the stopped football in the direction of Gao Lin in the middle, and then climbed up from the side to the penalty area.

This time the ball was originally at the feet of Munir and Iraq could fight back once, so the other players all started to run forward, ready to respond to Munir's pass and counterattack.

Few people expected that Lu Wenbin, who was so ordinary in defensive ability, had successfully intercepted Munir's ball and passed the ball to Gao Lin in time lying on the ground.

The Chinese team formed a counterattack after a frontcourt steal, and the Chinese fans in the stands stood up excitedly.

The Iraqi players also rushed nervously to defend Gao Lin and Hao Junmin not far away. As for Lu Wenbin, who just got up from the ground, only Munir, who was intercepted just now, followed him.

After receiving the ball, Gao Lin drove the ball horizontally to the center, smashed an opponent and broke through to the top of the arc of the penalty area, but he did not shoot this time, but passed to the front of the penalty area. There is Junmin.

Gao Lin's breakthrough and passing, as well as Hao Junmin's running position and catch, all attracted most of Iraq's lack of defensive energy. Lu Wenbin, who rushed into the penalty area, was defending by only one Munir.

Hao Junmin did not stop the ball after catching the ball on the right, nor did he shoot. Instead, he rubbed a high ball and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Lu Wenbin is rushing to that position from the left.

The Iraqi players looked at the direction of the ball and saw Lu Wenbin rushing in. When they wanted to defend, it was too late.

Although Munir was following him, Lu Wenbin was faster than Munir and had better physique than Munir. Munir couldn't get stuck in front of him.

Lu Wenbin crossed the penalty zone line and leaped off the palm of Munir's hand while running. A standard diving rushed to the top and the ball headed towards the goal.

The full-value header attribute allows Lu Wenbin to still have the power to choose the angle in such a sprint diving to the top, pushing the ball to the far goal.

After seeing Hao Junmin passing the ball, Cassid, the goalkeeper who moved to Lu Wenbin's side, was headed in the opposite direction by Lu Wenbin. Although he barely turned around and threw himself out while running, he was helpless with a tricky dive at this angle.

The ball flew into the far goal against the lower edge of the crossbar in the excited eyes of the Chinese fans.

Lu Wenbin intercepted the ball in the front court to form a counterattack and personally scored the goal with a header. He scored the Chinese team's first goal in the top ten match. The Chinese team led Iraq 1-0 at home.

Seeing the goal, the commentator from China Central Television shouted in excitement from the live broadcast booth:

"The goal was scored, and the Chinese team scored! Lu Wenbin intercepted the ball in the frontcourt to form a counterattack, and then rushed into the penalty area to personally dive to the top and scored the first goal of the top ten for the Chinese team!"

The Hongkou Stadium stands and the countless fans watching the live broadcast across China jumped up in an instant, applauding, cheering, and screaming in excitement.

Lu Wenbin, who fell to the ground after leaping to the top, just got up and was surrounded by his teammates and hugged and celebrated.

And Munir, who was intercepted by Lu Wenbin and hit the counterattack, slapped himself, perhaps still annoyed why he had to pass the ball in the face of Lu Wenbin's counter grab, instead of driving the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot in advance ~www.ltnovel.com~ After the game restarted, the fans were still excited about the first goal, but the national commentators began to analyze the causes and consequences of this goal.

Obviously, Lu Wenbin's role in this goal has been upgraded from before.

This was not an accidental frontcourt counter-grab. Lu Wenbin had succeeded once before, but his teammates did not seize the opportunity.

Lu Wenbin's frontcourt counter-grab ability demonstrated in these ten minutes is much better than when he played in Real Madrid before.

Lu Wenbin became more and more terrifying.

The Iraqi coach Zico frowned and had to remind the players to take the ball in time after stealing the ball in the backcourt, and beware of Lu Wenbin and the other Chinese team's frontcourt counter-grabbing.

It's easy to lose the ball when he is suddenly interrupted in his backcourt and hits a counterattack, just like this first ball.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Zico to ask the backcourt players to be more decisive when handling the ball.
