Seven Crowns

The Chinese team lost and faced a life-and-death battle in the final round of the group stage, which made Lu Wenbin feel a little bad.

Fortunately, in the 1/8 final of the Coppa Italia held on the same day, Inter Milan defeated Genoa 3-2 to advance to the quarter-finals, which gave Lu Wenbin the hope of continuing to win the Triple Crown and made him feel a little better.

Next, Lu Wenbin will actively cooperate with the team doctor for treatment, strive to recover from the cold, and play in the third round of the group match 4 days later.

On January 15th, in the 20th round of Serie A, Inter Milan beat Bologna 4-1 at home and continued to maintain their leading position in the league standings.

Of course, for the Chinese media and fans, there is no time for everyone to pay attention to Inter Milan. Everyone is concerned about Lu Wenbin's condition and whether he can qualify for the next day's match between the Chinese team and Uzbekistan.

The media and the Internet are full of speculation about Lu Wenbin's condition, but they can't get a definitive statement.

On the morning of January 16, at the pre-match press conference, Gao Hongbo announced Lu Wenbin's condition, claiming that Lu Wenbin had basically recovered and would definitely be able to participate in the game, which reassured the Chinese media and fans a lot.

However, in fact, Lu Wenbin's cold has not yet healed.

Because for athletes, they cannot take medicine during the competition. If they are found to be doping and their results are canceled or they are suspended, it will be miserable.

Although FIFA, relying on its own power, often sings against the International Olympic Committee and the International Anti-Doping Agency, but it is difficult to guarantee that the opponents of the Chinese team will not report, which will lead to investigations by the Anti-Doping Agency.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin can only rely on his own body's self-healing ability and the physical therapy of the team doctor to survive.

The time is too short, less than a week, and Lu Wenbin has not fully healed himself.

However, it was much better than the first two days, and it was possible to play barely.

But the coaching staff had a final discussion, and still did not let Lu Wenbin sit on the bench, let's wait and see the game.

If Lu Wenbin is allowed to play the full 90 minutes while his cold is still unhealed, even if he wins the game in the end, it may aggravate Lu Wenbin's condition, and he will not be able to pass the knockout round.

Therefore, it is better to let the other players fight first. If they win, everyone will be happy. If it is really impossible, Lu Wenbin will come on the bench.

That way Lu Wenbin's game time would be shorter, and even if he advances, he should be able to recover from his cold before the next knockout match.

Therefore, at 19:15 on the evening of January 16, in the two group matches of the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup A and the last round, Lu Wenbin did not appear in the Chinese team VS Uzbekistan match, but sat on the bench In the game, many commentators and Chinese fans were disappointed.

Because this game must be won for the Chinese team, and Uzbekistan can ensure the first place in the group as long as it draws.

Therefore, this determines the basic strategic thinking of the two teams in this game: the Chinese team must attack, while Uzbekistan shrinks its defense and waits for an opportunity to fight back.

The Chinese team changed to 442, removed a central defender, added a forward, and played double forwards. The other two forwards besides Lu Wenbin, Yang Xu and Gao Lin, all played.

The players of the Chinese team who were cornered played well in this game. Instead of being blown away by Qatar like in the second group match, they scored the first goal.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Uzbekistan is not the host country and there is no extra care from the referee.

In the 6th minute, the Chinese team won a corner kick, Hao Junmin sent a corner kick, and Yu Hai grabbed the first point and shook his head to attack the goal.

Originally, the ball went straight to the goalkeeper's arms, but the ball hit the opponent's defender who was eager to clear the siege and was refracted. The goalkeeper Nesterov was caught off guard and could only watch the ball go into the net.

The Chinese team opened the scoring and took a 1-0 lead. All coaches and players on and off the field were ecstatic.

Lu Wenbin rushed out of the bench and applauded loudly, and the players on the field also gathered in a circle and shouted "Come on" during the celebration.

The game continued.

The strength of the Chinese team itself is worse than that of Uzbekistan. The two sides have played against each other eight times in history, and the Chinese team lost five times. This time Gao Hongbo brought most of the young people to train for the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifiers.

In addition, the five defenders withdrew one person, and the defense became even more unstable.

So, in the 30th minute, Uzbekistan tore through the Chinese team's defense through a subtle cooperation in the frontcourt and scored a goal to tie the score.

Next, neither side scored any more goals, and entered the intermission with a score of 1-1.

In fact, the Chinese team still had chances to exceed the score in the first half, but Yang Xu and Gao Lin were not as good at grasping opportunities as Lu Wenbin, and missed several scoring opportunities.

The closest shot in the penalty area was hit by Gao Lin on the crossbar and popped out of the bottom line. It was a pity that many Chinese fans on the scene and in front of the TV hugged their heads and lamented.

Lu Wenbin was also anxious to see off the court.

Bin took the initiative to invite Ying to play, but Gao Hongbo did not approve, so he asked him to wait and see how the situation develops in the second half.

As a result, just 38 seconds into the second half, Uzbekistan scored a lightning goal.

Uzbekistan striker Heinsili suddenly took a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball bypassed goalkeeper Yang Zhi's ten fingers and went straight to the dead corner.

Uzbekistan overtook the score 2-1, and the Chinese team was forced to a dead end.

Lu Wenbin immediately said to Gao Hongbo: "Director Gao, replace me, I'm fine!"

Gao Hongbo looked at the team doctor, who frowned and said, "Lu Wenbin will be fine after the second half, but I'm not sure if it will aggravate his already recovering cold after the game!"

Lu Wenbin let out an oops, and said anxiously, "How can you care so much at this time? If we don't win this game, we're going home. What's the use of recovering from a cold?"

Gao Hongbo asked solemnly: "Lu Wenbin, are you sure there is no problem? Can you keep playing for 45 minutes?"

Lu Wenbin nodded fiercely and said, "No problem!"

In fact, everyone knows that it is definitely inappropriate for a person with a cold to engage in strenuous exercise such as a football match.

Not to mention whether the condition will worsen after the game is over, that is, during the game, due to the impact of the cold, the athletes will suffer from a severe decline in physical strength, slow brain response, and deformed technical movements.

Even Lu Wenbin, who is number one in football, playing at this time may not necessarily help the Chinese team reverse.

But Gao Hongbo had no choice.

The Chinese team fell behind in the score, and they had to score at least two goals in a row to reverse the score before they could win and qualify.

Relying on those players on the field, there is almost no hope in sight.

Therefore, when Lu Wenbin himself insisted on playing, he could only choose to put all his eggs in one basket and replace Lu Wenbin.

In the 48th minute, Bin stepped in and was ordered to replace No. 18 Gao Lin. The Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV cheered, and everyone saw the hope of the Chinese team winning and advancing. (seeking monthly ticket) 8)
