Seven Crowns

After the opening game, rest for one night, the first game of the second day is the second game of Group A: China VS Kuwait.

In anticipation of the difficulty of the match with the host Qatar, the match between China and Kuwait is bound to be decided. Both sides want to beat their opponents to score three points and lay a good foundation for qualifying in the group.

Therefore, both sides are the main force, the Chinese team sent a 541 formation, the players are:

No. 1 goalkeeper Yang Zhi, No. 2 left back Li Xuepeng, No. 3 center back Wang Qiang, No. 4 center back Zhao Peng, No. 5 center back Dewey, No. 17 right back Zhang Linpeng, No. 11 left midfielder Deng Zhuoxiang, No. 7 midfielder Zhao Xuri , No. 8 right midfielder Hao Junmin, No. 10 midfielder Zheng Zhi, and No. 6 forward Lu Wenbin.

The current FIFA world rankings are China's 79th and Asia's 6th; Kuwait's 99th in the world and Asia's 9th.

In the FIFA rankings, the Chinese team is stronger than Kuwait.

But Kuwait itself is a country in the Middle East. It is considered half of the home game, and its adaptability to weather, stadiums, etc. is better than that of China.

Therefore, the Chinese team will not have an easy game.

On the afternoon of January 8, local time, the Doha Al Gharafah Stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people, was full. There were almost 10,000 Chinese fans and local Chinese and overseas Chinese who came from all over the country.

The rest were filled by Kuwaiti fans, local Qatari fans, and Lu Wenbin's personal fans.

Chinese fans are full of the greatest expectations for this Asian Cup. The stands are covered with five-star red flags and slogans such as "Come on, Chinese team" and "China must win".

During the warm-up before the game, the Chinese fans' cheering and cheering completely overwhelmed Kuwait.

Although Kuwait is also in the Middle East and is closer than China, their population is not comparable to that of China, which leads to the number of fans who come to the scene far inferior to China.

The rest of the local Qatar fans, because of Lu Wenbin's relationship, there are also many people cheering for Bin.

At 16:05, players from both sides appeared on the field under the leadership of the referee, then played the national anthem, shook hands, and picked sides, and the game was about to begin.

At 16:15 pm on January 8th, local time, Australian referee Williams sounded his whistle, and the match between China VS Kuwait in the second round of the first round of Group A of the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup officially began.

Although the formation of the Chinese team is playing a defensive counterattack,

But after the start of the game, the formation of the Chinese team was pressing forward as a whole. Deng Zhuoxiang, Hao Junmin, and Zheng Zhi in the frontcourt attacked under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.

On the one hand, it is because the opponent Kuwait is not very strong, and on the other hand, it is the situation after Qatar lost to Uzbekistan in the opening match.

The Chinese team not only wants to win, but also wins big and strives for more goal difference.

Facing Kuwait in the fourth tier of this group, the Chinese team must attack and strive for a big victory.

Kuwait has the same idea as the Chinese team, and also wants to win this game and gain more goal difference.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the two sides played against each other, which made the neutral Qatari fans quite excited.

In the 4th minute, Deng Zhuoxiang suddenly slanted a long pass from the side to the restricted area, which caught Kuwait by surprise.

However, the placement of the pass is not very good.

Although Lu Wenbin rushed into the penalty area and knocked past the Kuwaiti defender to reach the first point, he couldn't choose the angle. The header that went out was saved by Kuwaiti goalkeeper Khalidi, and the Chinese team won a corner kick.

Subsequently, Zhang Linpeng's corner kick failed to form a shot and was destroyed by Kuwait out of the penalty area.

However, just 1 minute later, the Chinese team made a comeback.

Lu Wenbin retreated to get the ball and drove straight in. He passed two people into the penalty area, causing chaos in Kuwait, and then crossed the middle. Zheng Zhi volleyed, but missed the goal slightly.

Zheng Zhi's shooting skills are still quite poor, and Zheng Zhi is quite embarrassed that he failed to hit the goal frame in such a restricted area without interference.

Lu Wenbin shook his head and continued to lead the team to attack.

Bin was already prepared for this.

The Chinese team's frontal weakness is a stubborn disease, and it is common to not score empty goals, and it did not just appear today.

To score a goal and win a game, most of the time it is still up to Lu Wenbin to complete the final blow.

But this is the truth that everyone knows, and the Kuwaiti coaches and players naturally understand it.

Therefore, they would rather keep Zheng Zhi, Deng Zhuoxiang and others in the middle of the gap, and use multiple players to surround Lu Wenbin, so as not to give Lu Wenbin a chance to break through or shoot.

At the most extreme moment, the audience could even see Lu Wenbin with the ball surrounded by five Kuwaiti players. (Book friends can refer to the picture of Messi surrounded by 5 people from Iceland when Argentina VS Iceland in the 2018 World Cup)

No matter how weak the Kuwaiti players are compared to Lu Wenbin, they are still professional players, and they are national team players above the average level in Asia.

One person can't do it, two people can't do it, three, four, or even five people surround him, even Lu Wenbin has to be intercepted.

This is not the same as a long-distance attack that breaks through several people in a row. In that case, they will be defeated individually. In this case, they will be surrounded by heavy troops. Even Lu Wenbin will find it difficult to control the ball.

Therefore, in the first 20 minutes, Lu Wenbin only got two sports battle shots and one free kick shot. Only the header in the opening 4 minutes was within the range of the goal frame, but he did not score a goal.

On the contrary, Kuwait played several more threatening offenses.

However, they are all Asian teams, and Kuwait's forward shooting skills are not very good. There was also a shot from the penalty area less than 15 meters from the goal that hit the plane.

The two sides came and went, until the 23rd minute, Lu Wenbin finally broke the deadlock.

Many people from the other side surrounded and robbed Lu Wenbin, but he was not a wooden man, he stood and let the other party surround him.

Lu Wenbin's off-ball running and speed are also at full value!

Therefore, in the 23rd minute, Lu Wenbin suddenly turned back to get rid of the defensive player, and received a pass from Zheng Zhi without any defense.

Afterwards, Lu Wenbin completed his turn, broke through three Kuwaiti defenders Nasser, Fadil, and Matuk in a row by his speed and dribbling, and shot from the penalty area line.

This shot was obtained after Matuk was knocked to the ground with a oxtail. The other Kuwaiti defenders had not yet made up their defenses, and Lu Wenbin completed the shot without any interference.

Even without a run-up, the strength brought by Lu Wenbin's full physique still made this shot from the penalty area line look powerful and tricky.

The ball flew past the feet of Nasser, who was chasing the flying shovel, passed through the penalty area, and finally bypassed the goalkeeper Khalidi's ten fingers, and got into the goal against the goal post. (seeking monthly ticket) 8)
