Seven Crowns

Although the score was 0-1 behind, Iraq did not press out to attack.

Before the game started, Zico knew that it would be absolutely difficult for Iraq to win against the Chinese team led by Lu Wenbin in an away game, and a draw was unlikely.

In this group, the way out for Iraq can only be to compete with the other three teams for the second qualifying spot, and even getting third place to play in the play-offs is a great victory.

Sure enough, in less than 20 minutes, Iraq, who had been holding the bus, lost the goal.

Zico was even more afraid of Lu Wenbin's counter-robbing ability that was stronger than that of Real Madrid in these ten minutes.

If Iraq tried to counterattack and was intercepted by Lu Wenbin and counterattacked directly, it would be easier for Iraq to lose the ball.

Therefore, Zico asked his players to be more decisive in handling the ball and not to play with fire in the backcourt.

Although it is easy to lose the ball with a big foot and give up the ball, it is easier to deal with than being robbed directly in the backcourt.

In the next game, the Chinese team continued to press down on Iraq's attack, while Iraq's defense became more resolute, and it was not easy to fight back.

When you get the ball, you kick your feet to keep the ball away from your penalty area.

As a result, Lu Wenbin's counter-robbing ability also lost its use.

However, Lu Wenbin's main task is to attack. As long as Iraq does not counterattack, the ball will always fall to the Chinese team. Lu Wenbin still has plenty of time to get the ball.

Even if Iraq can't defend with a big bus, it is impossible for any team to really be watertight.

In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin opened Iraq's defense line through a collision with Yu Hai and found a gap.

After passing the ball from Yu Hai, Lu Wenbin, who was on the line of the penalty area, made a gesture to shoot, but shook the two defenders guarding him severely.

Lu Wenbin himself made a false shot, knocked the ball with his heel, and knocked the ball to the rib of the penalty area behind.

Zheng Zhi rushed into the penalty area without being marked, volleyed the ball non-stop, and the ball went into the near corner of the goal in an instant.

Zheng Zhi scored China's second goal with an assist from Lu Wenbin's heel pass, and China took a 2-0 lead.

With this score, this situation, the first good start of the top ten match is basically stable.

However, the Chinese team was not satisfied with the 2-0 victory, and Gao Hongbo did not replace Lu Wenbin.

It is because of Lu Wenbin's existence that Iraq can only hold out and dare not fight back.

If Lu Wenbin goes off the field, without this deterrent force like nuclear weapons, if Iraq relentlessly counterattacks and attacks, the difference of two goals, given the urgency of the Chinese team, it is not uncommon for the opponent to be reversed.

The Chinese team continued to attack.

In the 39th minute, the Chinese team scored again.

However, this goal has nothing to do with Lu Wenbin. It was Zhang Linpeng who assisted and made a cross from the side, and Gao Lin scored with a header in the penalty area.

The Chinese team led 3-0.

A few minutes after the game restarted, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Lu Wenbin's second goal, which the media and fans had been waiting for, never came.

After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Iraq still showed no sign of a massive counterattack.

It seems that Zico really gave up the game from the very beginning.

In the 57th minute, Lu Wenbin finally scored his second goal of the field.

This time, it was Lu Wenbin who, through his genius performance, passed three defensive players in the frontcourt through continuous cycling, Marseille maneuvers and other fake moves, and then succeeded in shooting from the far corner from the corner of the penalty area.

Lu Wenbin scored twice and scored the fourth goal of the Chinese team, which gave the Chinese team a 4-0 lead.

The important point is that Lu Wenbin scored twice in stoppage time. It was not the Chinese team leading 4-0, but Lu Wenbin's goal, which was the 500th official game goal of his career.

When Lu Wenbin scored this beautiful 500th goal, the entire Hongkou Stadium was boiling.

The narrators shouted loudly:

"The goal is scored, Lu Wenbin's 500th career goal!"

"Lu Wenbin scored the 500th official game goal of his career!"

"Lu Wenbin has completed a goal record that many super forwards have not completed in their entire career!"

"500 goals, Lu Wenbin only used 239 games, and the average goal has reached 2.1."

"Lu Wenbin is simply a scoring machine. Any team facing Lu Wenbin must first be prepared to be behind by two goals!"

During the commentary by the commentators, the subtitle "Lu Wenbin - 500 goals" was also played on the large LCD screen of the Hongkou Stadium, congratulating Lu Wenbin.

The Chinese fans in the stands also unfurled banners celebrating Lu Wenbin's achievement of 500 goals in his career, cheering and applauding for him.

Lu Wenbin stepped into the 500-ball club.

He was also very happy himself, interacting with his teammates and fans to celebrate for a long time, and then returned to his own half to wait for the game to start under the protests of the Iraqi players.

However, no matter how the Iraqis protested, after the score reached this level, the victory was basically sealed.

Therefore, Gao Hongbo replaced the older Zheng Zhi, and then asked the team to slow down the pace and save energy.

After the Chinese team slowed down their attack, Iraq finally wanted to counterattack and score a goal.

But Lu Wenbin became a stumbling block on the way of Iraq's counterattack.

From Zheng Zhi's departure to the 85th minute, Lu Wenbin disrupted Iraq's quick counterattack or pass four times, and even snatched the ball directly from the opposing player once.

In the end, the Iraqi players realized Lu Wenbin's strong defensive ability and did not dare to pass him.

If it is unavoidable, they can only cross or pass back, and no one will try to break through Lu Wenbin.

However, the Iraqis tempered in the flames of war are still very resilient.

The 0-4 trailing score and the fact that they failed to counterattack repeatedly did not break them.

In the 84th minute, the Iraqi finally scored a goal through a corner kick, saving a little face.

But in the 91st minute of stoppage time, when the game was about to end, Iraqi defender Younis recklessly fouled Hao Junmin, who was counterattacking, and gave the Chinese team a free kick.

Lu Wenbin accepted the gift with a smile, activated his special skills and kicked the ball into the dead corner.

Lu Wenbin staged a hat-trick, and the Chinese team led Iraq 5-1 by 4 goals.

Lu Wenbin's hat-trick made all the fans excited immediately, and the voice of "666" was endless, and they didn't stop until the end of the game.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team beat Iraq 5-1 at home and got a good start in the top ten Asian preliminaries.
