Seven Crowns

The continuous attack of the Brazilian team put great pressure on the Chinese team. The Chinese team had only two counterattacks in the first 20 minutes.

One of them was Lu Wenbin's long-distance attack with the ball and it was destroyed after halftime. The other time was Wu Xi's through pass to Wu Lei. As a result, Wu Lei was not fast enough and was first cleared by central defender Silva, failing to pose a threat.

The Brazilian team took five shots in the first 20 minutes, with an average of one shot in four minutes, which is quite terrifying.

Of these five shots, two hit the goal frame. Had it not been for some luck, Brazil would have already taken the lead.

As the captain, Lu Wenbin felt a lot of pressure, kept retreating, ran back and forth to participate in the defense, and used his fairly good position selection and full defensive skills to help the team defend the goal.

However, Lu Wenbin's defense was not in the team's training and game plan.

His usual defense is just interference and delayed defense in the frontcourt, as long as he can delay the opponent's attack speed, instead of participating in the defense as a defensive midfielder or even a defender in the backcourt.

Now Lu Wenbin has retreated deeper than usual, which has somewhat affected the cooperation between the Chinese team's defender and midfielder.

Because Lu Wenbin did not form a long-term tacit understanding with his teammates in the backcourt on defense.

In the 23rd minute, when Lu Wenbin made another tackle near the corner of the penalty area and took away the ball at Alex's feet, destroying the opponent's wing attack, Lu Wenbin was called to the court by the head coach Blazevic side.

Blazevic pressed Lu Wenbin's shoulder very nervously and said: "Lu Wenbin, your position is too far back, you are the front midfielder, not the back midfielder. Your position is too far back not only to make our counterattack impossible, but also to affect the The defensive cooperation between our defensive midfielders and defenders. Your position needs to be advanced a bit, just interfere in the midfield, and let our defense line have a place to get the ball after grabbing the ball. Your main responsibility Goals, not defense."

Blazevic's nervousness is understandable, because he was afraid that Lu Wenbin would play big cards and would not understand his tactical instructions.

If Lu Wenbin insists on going his own way, there is nothing he can do.

Replace Lu Wenbin? It's better to just surrender and admit defeat.

Besides, he didn't dare.

He dares to replace Lu Wenbin now, and he will be dismissed as soon as the game is over, regardless of whether the Chinese team wins or loses.

Fortunately, Lu Wenbin is not an arrogant and domineering person who refuses to listen to advice.

After a little recollection, Lu Wenbin discovered his mistake, and what the coach said was correct.

Although his defensive ability is very good, a deeper retreat can indeed give greater help to the Chinese team's defense, as evidenced by the failure of Brazil to score in the past 20 minutes.

But his interference with the defense is also real, and the two phases counteract each other. In fact, he did not improve the defensive strength of the Chinese team's defense much, and there is a lot of luck in not conceding the ball.

On the contrary, because of his excessive retreat, the Chinese team's counterattack was almost completely scrapped, which was not worth the candle.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin nodded firmly and said, "I understand, coach, I will listen to you!"

Blazevic patted Lu Wenbin on the shoulder happily, pushed him onto the field, and continued the game.

After the game restarted, Lu Wenbin did not retreat to the line of the big penalty area, or even went into the penalty area.

In this way, although the strength of the defense has decreased a little, it has not decreased too much because of the tacit cooperation of the defense training and games.

The midfielder's offense was much sharper because of Lu Wenbin's presence.

In the 29th minute, Zhang Linpeng risked injury and grabbed the first point in a header fight with Oscar, and gave the ball to Lu Wenbin.

Then Zhang Linpeng was knocked to the ground by Oscar, but the referee did not stop the game because the ball fell to Lu Wenbin's feet, and the Chinese team started to counterattack.

Based on the principle that the offense is beneficial, the referee followed Lu Wenbin and rushed towards the Brazilian team halftime.

This time Lu Wenbin is closer to the center line, with only one midfielder Sandro next to him, and only two central defenders in the backcourt, and one of them has to defend Wu Lei.

This is the advantage of standing a little forward.

If it is further back, even if Lu Wenbin gets the ball to counterattack, he will face more interceptions and timely return defenses from the opponent's midfielders and full-backs.

This is exactly the reason why head coach Blazevic asked Lu Wenbin not to sit too far back, in order to preserve the possibility of this kind of counterattack.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Although Sandro posted it the moment Lu Wenbin received Zhang Linpeng's header, but Lu Wenbin's dribbling skills, speed, and body are so good that Sandro couldn't find a chance to steal the ball. Plaguing Lu Wenbin in an attempt to slow down his attack speed.

But things backfired. Although Lu Wenbin's speed was a little slower, it was still not slow enough to allow other Brazilian players to rush back to participate in the defense.

When Lu Wenbin and Sandro were entangled and advancing, Wu Lei followed up 20 meters away, which involved the defense of central defender Juan.

In front of Lu Wenbin, there is only one Silva retreating and defending, ready to see the opportunity to intercept Lu Wenbin's ball with Sandro.

As the distance approached, just as Lu Wenbin was about to reach the line of the big penalty area, Silva, who was slowly retreating, suddenly stood up and made a forward tackle, making a tackle on the ground.

Already about to enter the restricted area, Silva had to make this action outside the restricted area: the risk in the restricted area is too great.

Even if he fails to tackle now, Sandro will still be entangled, and Lu Wenbin will not be left completely unguarded.

Sandro next to him also stepped up his pulling and pushing at the right time, trying to make Lu Wenbin lose his center of gravity and create opportunities for Silva to steal the ball.

However, the experienced Lu Wenbin saw through their intentions and raised the ball the moment Silva suddenly fell to the ground, and then he jumped up and stepped over Silva who fell to the ground.

Although he was a little staggered when he landed because of Sandro's push, he successfully broke through Silva's interception, and Sandro was temporarily thrown away by Lu Wenbin because of Silva's interference.

Lu Wenbin staggered to catch up with the falling ball, and kicked the ball through Gabriel's crotch before the goalkeeper Gabriel was on the attack.

Gabriel pinched his legs and touched the ball, but he didn't touch the ball out of the goal frame.

Under the desperate eyes of countless Brazilians, the ball passed through Gabriel's crotch, turned slightly and rolled into the goal.

Lu Wenbin finally scored a counterattack goal, and the Chinese team led 1-0.

In the commentary seat, countless Chinese and foreign commentators suddenly shouted:

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

"The goal is scored, a counterattack from the superstar Lu!"

"The Brazilian team bombarded the Chinese team for 30 minutes, but it was Lu who scored the first goal!"

"Lu defeated the Brazilian team alone!"
