Seven Crowns

Before finishing the first game, Lu Wenbin didn't know what kind of single-game rewards the Confederations Cup system would give.

But after the game, he knew that the national team's game really made a lot of money.

Although he didn't win, he had a goal and an assist in the first game.

The rewards given by the system are 500,000 assists, 1 million goals, and 2 million experience rewards for winning in the Confederations Cup group match.

Lu Wenbin speculated that in the knockout round, the rewards would be doubled.

With just one goal and one assist in the first game, even if he didn't win, Lu Wenbin got 1.5 million experience rewards, which is very generous.

The system's rewards for the national team's competition really put a lot of emphasis on it.

After the first round of the Confederations Cup, Spain ranked first in Group B with 3 points, China and Nigeria tied for second with 1 point each in a draw, and Uruguay ranked last with 0 points.

The day after the first game ended, on June 18, the final round of the World Preliminaries Asian Qualifiers was played, with Australia VS Iraq, China VS Oman, and Japan had a bye.

In the end, Australia defeated Iraq 1-0 at home, and the second Chinese team, whose main force went to Brazil to participate in the Confederations Cup, lost 0-2 to Oman at home.

The top ten matches in the Asian region are all over. China, Japan, Iran, and South Korea will directly qualify for the World Cup in Brazil. Australia and Uzbekistan will play playoffs. In the game, the chances of winning and qualifying are very small.

Swing the Confederations Cup.

On June 19, the second round of Group A was held as scheduled. Brazil beat Mexico 2-0 and Italy beat Tahiti 4-0.

Brazil and Italy have two consecutive victories to qualify ahead of schedule, while Mexico and Tahiti have two consecutive losses and are out early.

On June 20th, it was the turn of the second round of Group B. The first match was the Chinese team VS Spain. The venue was the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

This is a daunting team that is desperate before the game even starts.

The 2008 European Cup champion, the 2010 World Cup champion, the 2012 European Cup champion, the first team in football history to win three consecutive World Championships is Spain.

Look at who are in the current Spanish team: Casillas, Ramos, Pique, Xavi, Alonso, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva, Torres, Pique Leah...

these people,

Anyone can be called a superstar, on the same level as Shevchenko and Drogba.

But Ukraine has only one Shevchenko, and Côte d'Ivoire has only one Drogba.

And Spain is a group of superstars like Shevchenko and Drogba.

Xavi, Alonso, Iniesta, and Cesc Fabregas don't have so many positions in the midfield, and some are forced to play as substitutes.

In other words, the people sitting on the Spanish bench are all geniuses and giants who are once in a century in other countries.

In the 2012 European Cup final, Italy's reinforced concrete defense, known as the strongest in the world, was beaten 4-0 by Spain. It was a complete bloodbath, and it was almost powerless to fight back.

Facing such an opponent, before the game started, Lu Wenbin knew in his heart that no matter how strong he was, it was useless.

Of course, the game still has to be played. What if the Spanish team is out of shape and all the forwards don't have shooting boots?

In order to influence the opponent as much as possible, Lu Wenbin also greeted Casillas, Ramos, Alonso and others cordially in the player channel before the game.

Harvey, Iniesta, Pique and others who originally belonged to the sworn enemy Barcelona did not let go, as if they had no conflicts with them in Real Madrid, they greeted them cordially like old acquaintances.

This made Pique and others a little confused, but it was not easy to refuse Lu Wenbin's greeting, because Lu Wenbin's current status was too high.

But Lu Wenbin's petty actions had no effect.

The Spanish team has experienced no fewer big scenes than Lu Wenbin. On the contrary, these players of the Chinese team were a little timid in the face of the Spanish team, and they were afraid of three points before the game started.

The fight against the World Cup and European Cup double champions let Lu Wenbin and everyone in the Chinese team, including players, fans, and the media, know how far they are from the world champions.

It's not that Lu Wenbin is not strong, but that the opponent as a whole is too perverted.

In the 6th minute, Iniesta took the ball and Lu Wenbin saw the opportunity to grab it. As a result, the opponent made a heel pass and passed the ball to Xavi behind him.

Harvey went to the side, and then sent a long pass straight through. Lu Wenbin, who was separated by Iniesta's body, could only watch helplessly as the ball rolled past not far in front of him, and then dodged Wang Yongpo, Zhao Peng The interception rolled into the penalty area.

David Villa slanted into the penalty area from outside the penalty area like a ghost, and succeeded in anti-offside. He received a through ball from Harvey near the penalty spot, and then shot a low shot. The ball passed through Zeng Cheng's crotch However, rolled into the goal behind him.

Just 6 minutes into the game, the Chinese team fell behind 0-1.

The Spanish team, which scored a goal, did not celebrate at all.

Scoring goals and taking the lead, in their view, couldn't be more normal.

This is the time Lu Wenbin has felt the most powerless since he played football with the plug-in system.

Lu Wenbin also wants to counterattack with the ball, but Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Ramos, Pique and other Real Madrid or Barcelona players are too familiar with him.

It doesn't matter if one or two people can't guard against him, but if three or four people keep blocking him, Lu Wenbin can't break through even once.

If you want to cooperate with your teammates, Zheng Zhi, Wu Lei and others cannot adapt to the fast pressing of the Spanish team.

What's more, there are not many opportunities to counterattack at all: Spain adheres to Barcelona's pass-and-control style of play, football is almost always controlled by the Spanish team, and it is difficult for the Chinese team to get the ball to counterattack.

In Real Madrid, Lu Wenbin can also rely on the strength of his superstar teammates to deal with Barcelona and gain the upper hand, but in the Chinese team, Lu Wenbin does not have such teammates.

Regardless of skill or cooperation, the Chinese team was far behind Spain, and they couldn't even defend with the bus.

Although Lu Wenbin's defense in the defensive midfielder position is somewhat effective, facing Spain's fully blooming offensive routines, he alone cannot plug all the loopholes.

In the 27th minute, Alonso split the side, Villa made a pass from the bottom, and Torres scored in the middle.

The ball didn't pass near Lu Wenbin at all, and he couldn't even interfere. He was a spectator the whole time and was helpless.

Before the end of the first half, in the 40th minute, Iniesta shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and a powerful long shot went straight to the dead corner. Zeng Cheng was helpless.
