Seven Crowns

Positional warfare is not what the Chinese team is good at.

Since Lu Wenbin joined the national football team, whether playing forward or midfielder, the Chinese team's tactics have always been defensive counterattacks.

If Lu Wenbin continues to play the midfielder, maybe it will be better.

But now facing Uruguay, a strong South American team, Lu Wenbin must stick to his midfielder position to prevent Uruguay's defensive counterattack.

The Chinese team must first stabilize the defense before they can talk about attacking or winning.

Without Lu Wenbin in the frontcourt, the offensive efficiency of the Chinese team would be even lower.

In the 8th minute, Lu Wenbin passed a long pass to find Hao Junmin on the side. As a result, Hao Junmin stopped the ball too big and the ball was intercepted by the defender.

However, Uruguay's counterattack did not fight either. In the midfield, Lu Wenbin and Wang Yongpo teamed up to force a pass and missed the ball.

In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin launched an attack and passed the ball to find Zheng Zhi in the gap.

If Zheng Zhi's vision is better, he should be able to see Yu Hai in the gap. After Yu Hai catches the ball, he will be able to cut inward and form a shot.

However, Zheng Zhi didn't see Yu Hai's gap, and passed the ball back to Lu Wenbin. Yu Hai made useless efforts to counter offside from the wing and wasted an offensive opportunity.

This is the limitation brought about by different visions. Although Zheng Zhi is a good player, he is far from Lu Wenbin.

In the offense of the Chinese team, Uruguay also occasionally counterattacked.

But Lu Wenbin has been sticking to the backcourt and Uruguay could not form an offense in the middle. Although there were two shots, they did not hit the goal frame.

Half an hour passed, and the two sides were still tied. The Chinese team failed to seize the offensive opportunity organized by Lu Wenbin. Uruguay's counterattack also disappeared under Lu Wenbin's organizational defense.

But no one moved rashly.

Uruguay is naturally not afraid of a draw. In a draw, they have the greatest chance of qualifying, unless Nigeria beats Spain by a big score.

Therefore, Uruguay is not in a hurry.

The Chinese team, especially Lu Wenbin, dare not act rashly.

Lu Wenbin was afraid that as soon as his position was advanced, Uruguay would launch an onslaught as quickly as Nigeria, and defeat the Chinese team's defense.

As a South American team, Uruguay's offense may be more sharp and deadly than Nigeria. Only now because Lu Wenbin is nailed to the position of the midfielder, Uruguay has not made any achievements.

If Lu Wenbin advances to the front midfielder, Uruguay may have scored before he can score.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin can only continue to defend in the backcourt and slowly organize the offense.

Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team finally caught a chance.

In the 38th minute, Lu Wenbin controlled the ball near the center circle, while holding the Uruguayan striker Lodeiro behind him with his hands while observing the situation in the frontcourt.

Although Uruguay is defensive and counterattack, other people may not come forward to defend with the ball in the midfield, but as long as Lu Wenbin takes the ball, even if the midfielder and defender are far away, the forward will come up and interfere. It is impossible for Lu Wenbin to organize the attack comfortably. .

However, Lu Wenbin's ball-handling skills are so good that it is impossible for Lodeiro to grab it alone. The nearby No. 9 striker Suarez, who plays for Liverpool in the Premier League, has ran over and is preparing to steal the ball with Lodeiro.

Lu Wenbin will naturally not wait for Suarez to run into place.

Although these two are both forwards and their stealing skills are not very good, but the fight between the two may cause Lu Wenbin to lose the ball.

Even if he doesn't lose the ball, it may affect the quality of his passing.

Anyway, Lu Wenbin has seen the gap and the running position of his teammates, and can launch an attack.

Lu Wenbin stared at Hao Junmin who was on the right, causing the Uruguayan defense formation to move a bit towards Hao Junmin.

Then, before Suarez posted it, Lu Wenbin passed the ball with a long pass.

The Uruguayan people thought that Lu Wenbin was going to pass it on to Hao Junmin, and Lu Wenbin's eyes were indeed looking at Hao Junmin.

As a result, the ball flew straight to the bottom line on the left: Lu Wenbin used Ronaldinho's sound to pass the ball.

This hit the Uruguayan defense line by all players by surprise.

Seeing the ball flying to the left, everyone turned their heads to see that Yu Hai had no idea when he ran there.

Now Uruguay's defense is empty on the left, Yu Hai calmly unloaded Lu Wenbin's long pass, and then cut the ball to the penalty area.

The shocked Uruguayan left-back Scotty turned his head and rushed to block Yu Hai.

Wu Lei rushed to the goal at full speed from outside the penalty area, ready to grab a spot in front of the goal, which caused the Uruguayan defense line to retreat collectively and wanted to intercept the ball passed by Yu Hai to Wu Lei.

Before Scotty approached, Yu Hai broke into the big penalty area and passed the ball from outside the small penalty area.

Scotty jumped up to block the bullet, but he didn't touch anything: the ball didn't fly.

While Wu Lei led the two central defenders into the penalty area, Zheng Zhi behind him was left unguarded.

Yu Hai did not make a high pass and let Wu Lei compete for the header. Instead, he passed an inverted triangle low flat ball to the penalty spot.

Zheng Zhi rushed up from behind, volleyed the ball without stopping, and drew the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.

With Wu Lei's central defender Aguiregalai turned and fell to the ground to tackle, but failed to touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Silva threw himself, but failed to touch the ball.

The ball passed Silva's fingertips and went into the goal against the right post. The Chinese team 1-0 Uruguay.

The Chinese narrator in the narration booth yelled:

"The ball has been scored..."

"Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi scored a goal!"

"Zheng Zhi, 33, scored a goal in the Confederations Cup!"

"From Lu Wenbin Sheng's pass, Yu Hai easily caught the ball on the wing and cut inward, and then passed the ball to Zheng Zhi in an inverted triangle. Zheng Zhi made a non-stop volley!"

"Most of the credit for this ball comes from Lu Wenbin. His slamming long pass completely deceived Uruguay's defense!"

"Lu Wenbin's vision and passing skills are better than Barcelona's Xavi!"

In the stands and in front of the TV, countless Chinese fans burst into applause, cheers and screams.

This is the first time that the Chinese team is in a leading position in the Confederations Cup~www.ltnovel.com~Zheng Zhi is the oldest player of the Chinese team. If not for his rich experience and physical fitness, according to the current age structure of the Chinese team, He must not be selected anymore.

The point is that the head coach Gao Hongbo does not wait to see him.

It was only because of Lu Wenbin's suggestion that he was able to continue to be selected for the national team and participate in the Confederations Cup with the team.

Although Zheng Zhi has a lot of black jokes among Chinese fans, Lu Wenbin still believes that Zheng Zhi should be one of the top players in China.

Even if he is a little older, Zheng Zhi is very self-disciplined and his physical fitness has been maintained very well. The Chinese team also needs his experience.

Now, Lu Wenbin's suggestion has paid off.

When he had to guard the backcourt to prevent his opponent from counterattacking, Zheng Zhi finally scored a goal for the Chinese team to lead Uruguay.

The Chinese team was immediately in a better position than Uruguay.
