Chapter 591: 1/4 Finals

Back at the hotel, the members of the Olympic team first celebrated their group qualifying, and then watched the first gold competition in the London Olympics: the women's 10-meter air rifle final.

In the end, the 23-year-old Chinese girl Yi Siling won the first gold with a score of 502.9, beating Polish player Pogacka's 502.2, and another Chinese player, Yu Dan, won the bronze medal.

Chinese players won two of the three medals, among which Yi Siling's was the first gold medal in the London Olympics.

When the two five-star red flags were raised slowly at the "Royal Artillery Barracks" in the competition venue, and when the majestic "March of the Volunteers" sounded on the field, Lu Wenbin secretly clenched his fists: He also wanted to help China win a gold medal in the Olympics .

Then, after a night's rest in Coventry, the Chinese team returned to London the next day.

The venue for the third round of the Chinese team is Wembley Stadium in London, and their opponent is Gabon.

The schedule of men's football matches in the Olympic Games is very dense, almost every three days.

In the case of qualifying ahead of schedule, the Chinese team will naturally not go out to fight the Gabon team with all their strength. They must save enough energy to play in the quarter-finals.

Therefore, in the third round match between China VS Gabon in Group B held at Wembley Stadium in London on August 1, the Chinese team rotated most of the lineup, even the goalkeeper was replaced by Wu Sihuo.

Of course, Lu Wenbin, Dinghaishenzhen, will continue to start.

As long as Lu Wenbin is around, the Gabonese team will not dare to attack aggressively. Even if they attack, with Lu Wenbin's assisted defense, the Gabon team's success rate will be greatly reduced.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 2-1, and the Chinese team won by one goal.

Although Gabon scored a goal by taking advantage of the insufficient strength of the Chinese team's substitute lineup, it was eventually defeated by Lu Wenbin's brace.

The existence of Lu Wenbin made many opponents feel helpless.

The Chinese team ranked first in Group B with 9 points in all three games and advanced to the quarter-finals. Mexico defeated Switzerland in the final round and advanced to the quarter-finals. Switzerland and Gabon went home together.

After the third round of the group stage, Lu Wenbin also received the system reward for qualifying: 1 million experience + 10 skill points.

Adding the single experience gained in each game, Lu Wenbin's experience has risen to 19.353 million/20 million at level 19,

There is still 650,000 to upgrade.

As long as you score and win in the quarter-finals, you can upgrade and add points again.

As for the 10 skill points obtained from the group qualifying mission, Lu Wenbin naturally added them to the position selection skill without hesitation, making his position selection attribute reach 12 points.

When all the group matches are over, all the teams that will advance to the quarter-finals will be produced, namely the UK and Senegal in Group A, China and Mexico in Group B, Brazil and Egypt in Group C, and Japan and Honduras in Group D.

The opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the quarter-finals also came out: Senegal.

This is an African country. It can beat Uruguay in Group A and qualify with England. Senegal's strength is still good.

However, compared with the host England in the quarterfinals, the favorites Brazil, Mexico, etc., Senegal's strength is still much worse. The Chinese team with Lu Wenbin has a great chance of winning.

The top four are waving to the Chinese team.

Most of the media from various countries are also optimistic about the Chinese team. After all, at the U23 level, Lu Wenbin alone is enough to beat a team.

Senegal is not a strong team either, it's just luck that beat Uruguay to enter the quarterfinals.

Just like the last game, the Chinese team rotated most of the main players, but Lu Wenbin scored twice alone, helping the Chinese team beat Gabon, which had all the main players, with a score of 2-1.

This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese team will be listed as the favorite to win the championship.

However, on August 4, 2012, at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, when the quarter-finals between the Chinese team and Senegal officially started, Senegal did not retreat to the backcourt to defend against the Chinese team, but started from the very beginning of the game. He took the initiative to attack.

This caught the Chinese team by surprise.

The media unanimously said that the Chinese team was stronger than Senegal. Everyone thought that Senegal would shrink its defense and fight back. Even Gao Hongbo thought so!

Unexpectedly, Senegal would take the initiative to attack.

Aren't they afraid of Lu Wenbin and the Chinese team's counterattack?

Fortunately, the Chinese team's tactic itself is 4231 defensive counterattack, based on defense and then counterattack. At the beginning of the game, they will not overwhelm the offense. They will first stabilize the defensive formation and see the situation.

Senegal's opening three shots went down, and there were three shots in ten minutes, but they only hit the goal once under the defense of the Chinese team, and the strength angle was not good, which was easily confiscated by Zeng Cheng.

On the contrary, the Chinese team played a very threatening attack in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, Wu Lei wasted Lu Wenbin's through pass, and the final single-handed shot slipped out.

After resisting Senegal's opening attack, the Chinese team stabilized their position. Everyone gradually discovered that Senegal only looked aggressive, but in fact its strength was much worse than that of Mexico that the Chinese team encountered, and at most it was comparable to the Swiss team.

Moreover, the discipline of African players is worse than that of the Swiss team. Many of the passes are good balls, but the Senegalese players will choose to force a breakthrough by themselves. As a result, they are intercepted or unable to break through and delay time.

After discovering that Senegal was just showing off, the Chinese team also increased the number of counterattacks on the basis of holding the defense line firmly.

In the 17th minute, Senegal's attack was interrupted again.

This time it was center back Dewey who cut off the opponent's striker Konate and passed it to Zhang Linpeng, who initiated the attack.

The moment Zhang Linpeng succeeded in stealing the ball, Lu Wenbin turned and rushed towards the opponent's half. He was the first to get closer to the opponent's back line than Wu Lei.

Then, at the moment when Lu Wenbin was about to be offside, after receiving a pass from Zhang Linpeng, Cao Yunding, who was passing a man on the side, scored the ball and made a pass at a 45-degree angle. Lu Wenbin successfully reversed offside and received the ball behind the Senegalese defender.

However, Lu Wenbin didn't stop the ball well, and it went a little too far. Senegal's goalkeeper Mane immediately attacked when he saw this, and was about to rush out of the penalty area to destroy the ball.

But Lu Wenbin's speed was too scary.

If Lu Wenbin were to participate in the sprint competition, he might be able to run within 10 seconds. This must be unique in football and unrivaled.

Although Mane knew that Lu Wenbin was fast, he still didn't have enough expectations for Lu Wenbin's speed in the fast-paced game.

Lu Wenbin not only started at full speed to get rid of the pursuers behind him, but also rushed past Mane with a Marseille round before the goalkeeper.

Mane, who ran out of the penalty area and was unable to catch the ball with his hands, could only watch Lu Wenbin pass him, and then hit an empty goal.

Lu Wenbin opened the scoring for the Chinese team in a counterattack in the 17th minute. China 1-0 Senegal.
