Chapter 600: The Shocking Undercut Shot
In the 15 minutes of the first half, the Chinese team did not get any decent counterattack opportunities.
Only in the 102nd minute, Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball for a long distance and completed a lob shot outside the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and failed to score.
The two sides took a short break and continued the game in the second half of overtime.
Lu Wenbin understood that he had to score goals in the last 15 minutes of the second half to solve the game.
Otherwise, if the penalty shootout is dragged, the Chinese team will be at a disadvantage in terms of the psychological quality, shooting skills of the Chinese Olympic players, and the strength of the goalkeeper, and 99% of the penalty shootout will be lost.
To win the gold medal, on the basis of the Chinese team's defense not conceding a goal, Lu Wenbin must score a goal.
However, now the Chinese team is fighting with 10 people, and the forward Wu Lei has already gone down. The Brazilian team's defender only needs to keep an eye on Lu Wenbin alone.
This is not only a matter of focusing on one less person, but the defensive goal is much simpler. There is no need to prevent Lu Wenbin's pass assists, just pay attention to his breakthrough or shot.
This is also the reason why the Chinese team had only one counterattack in the first half of overtime, which resulted in a goalless shot.
Not only that, the lack of personnel caused the Chinese team's defense line to be quite tight, and it was almost impossible to spare people to support Lu Wenbin.
Both Cao Yunding and Ba Li have almost changed from avant-garde to defender, and have been helping the defense in the backcourt.
The Chinese team's counterattack can only be supported by Lu Wenbin alone.
In the 109th minute, the Chinese team made the situation worse. The 29-year-old main defender Zhao Peng suffered from cramps during a fight and was carried down by a stretcher, unable to stand up again.
The Chinese team could only be forced to make substitutions, replacing the young backup central defender Lei Tenglong, and their defensive strength declined again.
Fortunately, maybe he knew that his penalty in the final stoppage time of the regular game was a misjudgment, which wronged the Chinese team. The referee was trying to find a balance in the overtime game, and turned a blind eye to the many foul defensive actions of the Chinese team. , did not give Brazil a free kick.
Even once Neymar was really pushed into the penalty area by the Chinese team defender, the referee turned a blind eye and signaled the game to continue without awarding Brazil a penalty.
The goal of the Chinese team has been able to keep without conceding a goal, and it is difficult to maintain the score of the tie.
But a draw doesn't mean much to the Chinese team,
In the penalty shootout, the Chinese team will still lose more and win less. After all, they will lose the game, lose the championship and lose the gold medal.
With no one in front, Lu Wenbin didn't dare to retreat to participate in the defense, but stayed near the midfield to look for opportunities to counterattack.
The other players of the Chinese team have also been working hard to defend and grab the ball. After getting the ball, they try to kick forward and try to kick it to Lu Wenbin.
However, after playing more than 100 minutes of the game, the physical strength and accuracy of the Chinese team players have dropped significantly. It is not because Lu Wenbin ran into the gap that they could pass the ball to Lu Wenbin's feet.
So Lu Wenbin never got a good chance to counterattack in the second half.
Finally, in the 112th minute, Wu Sihuo played well again and directly hugged Damian's shot in his arms.
In the applause of the Chinese fans, Wu Sihuo did not squat on the ground to delay the time, nor did he throw the ball. Instead, he stood up and kicked the ball towards the Brazilian team's half with all his strength.
It's a pity that Wu Sihuo's shot was too big. Lu Wenbin tried his best to throw off Silva and Juan but failed to catch up. Gabriel, who rushed out of the penalty area, headed it out.
The ball flew over Lu Wenbin's head and flew back to the midfield. Lu Wenbin had to brake suddenly and turn around to grab the ball.
After the ball flew over Lu Wenbin's head and flew to the midfield, Gabriel slowly returned to the penalty area while looking back at the ball. Silva and Juan, who were still following Lu Wenbin to the penalty area just now, also slowly returned to the penalty area. Brake and prepare to organize the defense.
Defender Rafael and midfielder Sandro, who were chasing back from the midfielder, also ran towards the point where the ball fell, preparing to grab the ball from Lu Wenbin.
The commentator of China Central Television was very disappointed and explained: "Wu Sihuo's ball was too big, too close to the opponent's penalty area, and was pushed back to the midfield by the opponent's goalkeeper. Lu Wenbin had to grab the ball and attack again."
The guest shook his head beside him and said, "The opportunity has been lost. The opponent's defenders and midfielders are back in place. Lu Wenbin has no time."
Seeing that the time was running out, countless Chinese fans lamented anxiously, while the Brazilian fans applauded Gabriel's timely attack.
However, at this moment, when the ball that Gabriel pushed out was about to hit the ground, he ran back, and Lu Wenbin, who arrived at the ball first than Rafael and Sandro, did not unload the ball and dribble it again Break through, attack.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone in the world, Lu Wenbin leaped into the air, and shot an overhead shot from a distance of more than 30 meters from the goal.
Countless commentators were stunned for a moment.
"My God, what did we see?"
"Lu actually made an undercut shot from such a distance?"
"Genius imagination, will this ball go in?"
Following the exclamation of the commentator and countless fans, the goalkeeper Gabriel was shocked and ran towards the goal after the ball was kicked back to the goal with an undercut by Lu Wenbin.
However, his speed of chasing back was not as fast as that of Lu Wenbin's undercut kick.
The ball crossed a shocking parabola in the air, and before Gabriel, it fell against the crossbar and fell into the Brazilian team's goal.
Gabriel's final jumping save came across nothing and just followed the ball into the goal. (Refer to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's long-range barb)
In the 112th minute of overtime, Lu Wenbin scored a world-shocking ultra-long-range undercut shot from outside the penalty area, completing a hat-trick and helping the Chinese team take a 3-2 lead again.
In the on-site commentary booth and the TV broadcast room, countless commentators roared frantically:
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...""
"Oh my god, my god, it's unbelievable that Lu took an undercut shot from such a distance, and it went in!"
"Genius idea, great goal, Lue scored the longest undercut shot in the history of football!"
"The statistics are out, this undercut shot is 35 meters away from the Brazilian team's goal!"
"My God, I dare say, there is no one other than Lue who can hit this ball with an undercut shot from such a long position."
"Hehe, don't say you can't hit it. I bet, except for Lu, any player standing in that position can only unload the ball and re-dribble the ball to break through and attack. No one will have the idea of a direct hook shot .
"Yes, this is a crazy shot that ordinary people dare not even think about."
Countless fans in front of the TV, not only Chinese fans but also foreign fans, all called their friends and friends, calling on everyone to come and see God.
Lu Wenbin at this time is the god and god of Wembley Stadium, overlooking all living beings, unrivaled.
The players of the Chinese team rushed up and surrounded Lu Wenbin and celebrated wildly, while the players of the Brazilian team looked at Lu Wenbin dumbfounded.
Lu Wenbin's goal really hit the morale of the Brazilian team.
