Seven Crowns

Ralph's worried Lu Wenbin can't control it, Chinese reporters can't control it, and Chinese fans can't control it.

All Chinese who care about Lu Wenbin and the national football record are eagerly waiting for Lu Wenbin's national team debut.

Chinese media reporters even took the stance of live broadcast, reporting Lu Wenbin's whereabouts every day since the end of the 12th round of the Bundesliga between Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg.

Some news websites can even send out alerts about Lu Wenbin's whereabouts several times a day.

The second day after the game, on November 8, Lu Wenbin accompanied Kate back to Dietford. Four or five news cars and more than a dozen Chinese reporters followed up on the report, which made Lu Wenbin feel helpless.

But he also knows that domestic fans and fans are eagerly waiting for all the news of him, and his future commercial value depends to a large extent on the support of the huge Chinese fans.

Therefore, even if it is a little depressing to lose privacy by being tracked and reported by reporters, Lu Wenbin can only let reporters follow him and report his whereabouts to domestic fans.

This is a problem that a star will inevitably face after becoming famous, especially under the special national conditions of football like China.

After sending Kate home, on November 9, Lu Wenbin set off from Frankfurt to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

The first national team game Lu Wenbin participated in was China's away game against Lebanon in the third round of Group D of the 15th Asian Cup qualifiers.

When Lu Wenbin's flight took off, the domestic media reported the news as heavy news.

No matter how many people hate the national football team, it is undeniable that football is still the number one sport in the world and the sport with the most fans in China.

How many new and old fans has China accumulated since the beginning of football TV broadcasts to the present in the 21st century?

In the 2004 Asian Cup final, China VS Japan, CCTV's viewership rate reached an astonishing 18.5% at the same time, the market share reached 47%, and the viewing population reached more than 200 million.

This is not only the game with the highest ratings among all sports events broadcast by CCTV in the past ten years, but even higher than the average ratings of the news network in the past ten years.

Of course, the second most watched football game is the match between China and Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, which is also higher than the average viewership of the news broadcast.

As for TV dramas, it's even worse. Those with a viewership rate of 3% are all explosions.

The number of fans in China is evident.

Because the national team's performance is not good, there are many people who dislike football and few people talk about football. Many people regard football talk as a shameful thing, but it does not mean that the number of fans in China is also small.

Even if many people shout that they will never watch the national football team from now on, once there is any good news about winning the national football team, they will still search and watch it with relish.

When there is a key battle of the national football team, everyone scolded that they would never watch the national football game again, but the countless examples of the national football game winning the championship at the same time in the ratings tell everyone that the vast majority of Chinese fans are very sincere.

It is the mentality of the vast majority of Chinese fans to hate that iron cannot become steel, and to scold while looking forward to the rise of Chinese football one day.

The appearance of Lu Wenbin has well filled the wishes of all Chinese fans, and made everyone have expectations for Chinese football.

In the past, when Sun Jihai and Yang Chen could play in the five major leagues, they could become the target of fans all over the country, not to mention the European Golden Boot and Triple Crown winners like Lu Wenbin?

Since the Chinese Football Association announced that Lu Wenbin has decided to join the national football team, become the new core and new captain of the national football team, and is about to lead his team to the Asian Cup qualifiers, the enthusiasm of domestic fans has been completely ignited.

In recent games, Lu Wenbin's continuous scoring performance in the Bundesliga and the Champions League has fueled such heated discussions, making fans look forward to Lu Wenbin's national team debut.

Even if the Chinese team's players are not as strong as Hoffenheim, we can't give Lu Wenbin much support, but with Lu Wenbin's strength, he stands out from the crowd.

In Asia, it should be okay to lead the national football team to cut melons and vegetables to rush out of Asia and reach the World Cup finals, right?

Just like Drogba led Côte d'Ivoire and Shevchenko led Ukraine to the World Cup finals, the driving effect of a superstar figure on the national team is obvious.

If nothing else, how many goals can Lu Wenbin bring to the national team just with his free-kick skills and his ability to hit the spot-kick?

What's more, Lu Wenbin's off-ball movement, physique, and shooting accuracy are the best in football, and there will be no shortage of goals in sports battles.

Both set-pieces and sports goals are so versatile, Lu Wenbin will definitely bring a lot of victories to the national team.

Even if your teammates are not good, as long as you can enter the World Cup again, you can score a goal, get a point, or even win a goal in the World Cup. It's good to go back to the house yo-yo.

Of course, the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in South Africa have been eliminated, and the 2014 World Cup qualifiers in Brazil have not yet started.

Now everyone has to watch the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers, first look at Lu Wenbin's national team debut.

Let's see if he can lead the Chinese team to qualify for the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup with as many goals as he did in Europe and in Hoffenheim.

The huge demand of domestic fans is the work mission of reporters, and Lu Wenbin's every move naturally cannot escape the fate of being tracked and reported.

There is no escape from getting on the plane, and the same goes for getting off the plane.

Even when they got off the plane in Beirut, not only reporters, but also hundreds of fans picked up the plane.

There are still several days before the Lebanon VS China game, but domestic fans who have money, leisure and can't wait have rushed to Lebanon to welcome Lu Wenbin with the local Chinese and overseas Chinese.

They held several banners with slogans supporting Lu Wenbin to welcome Lu Wenbin's arrival.

Of course, Lu Wenbin's mood was much better when he saw the fans than when he saw reporters alone.

Escorted by airport security, while being interviewed by reporters, Lu Wenbin signed a few names for fans who were close by.

However, I didn't dare to sign too much.

Lu Wenbin's reputation is not ordinary now. If he stays for too long, not only will he not sign all the fans, but it will attract more people to watch, and it will be bad if he is completely blocked in the end.

Escorted by the airport security, Lu Wenbin quickly boarded the car that the national team came to pick up the plane and went to the hotel where the national team stayed.

The Chinese national team led by Gao Hongbo had already arrived in Beirut the day before. Because Lu Wenbin was in Europe, he didn't have to go back to China, so he flew directly from Germany to Lebanon.

Lu Wenbin is about to meet his national team coaches and teammates.
