Seven Crowns

The Chinese team lost and faced a life-and-death battle in the last group stage, which made Lu Wenbin a little unhappy.

Fortunately, in the 1/8 final of the Coppa Italia on the same day, Inter Milan defeated Genoa 3-2 to advance to the quarter-finals, giving Lu Wenbin the hope of continuing to retain the triple crown, which made him feel a little better.

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

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

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

The media and the Internet are full of speculations about Lu Wenbin's condition, but they can't get a precise word.

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

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

Because athletes cannot take medicine during the game, it will be miserable if they are found to be banned or cancelled by doping.

Although FIFA relies on its own power and often antagonizes the International Olympic Committee and the International Anti-Doping Agency, it is difficult to guarantee that the opponents of the Chinese team will not report it, which has attracted investigations by the Anti-Doping Agency.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin can only rely on his 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 completely healed himself.

However, it was much better than the first two days, and it is achievable even if it is barely playing.

But the coaching staff finally discussed it, and still didn't let Lu Wenbin start, or let him sit on the bench, depending on the game.

If Lu Wenbin is allowed to start for 90 minutes before he has a cold, even if he wins the ball in the end, it may aggravate Lu Wenbin's condition and fail the knockout round.

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

That way, Lu Wenbin's game time is shorter, even if he advances, he should be able to heal his cold before the next knockout.

Therefore, at 19:15 on the evening of January 16, during the two most group matches of the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup A, the Chinese team VS Uzbekistan Lu Wenbin did not start the game, but sat on the bench. On the stage, many commentators and Chinese fans were disappointed.

Because this game is a must for the Chinese team to win, and Uzbekistan can ensure the first qualifying in the group as long as it is tied.

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

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

The Chinese team players, who were forced to a dead end, played well in this game. They were not beaten by Qatar as they did in the second group stage. Instead, they scored the first goal.

Of course, this is also related to that Uzbekistan is not the host and does not have the extra care of the referee.

In the 6th minute, the Chinese team got a corner kick, Hao Junmin issued a corner kick, 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 defender who was eager to clear the siege, and the goalkeeper Nestorov was caught off guard and could only watch the ball into the net.

The Chinese team opened the record and won a 1-0 lead. All coaches and players on and off the court were ecstatic.

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

The game continues.

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

Coupled with the removal of one of the five guards, the defense line becomes even more unstable.

So, in the 30th minute, Uzbekistan broke the Chinese team's defense through a subtle frontcourt and scored an equalizer goal.

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

In fact, the Chinese team still has a chance to exceed the score in the first half, but Yang Xu and Gao Lin's ability to seize the opportunity is not as good as Lu Wenbin, and missed several scoring opportunities.

The closest goal to a goal in the penalty area was shot by Gao Lin on the crossbar and the bottom line was ejected. It was a pity that caused many Chinese fans on the scene and in front of the TV to hold their heads and lament.

Lu Wenbin was also anxiously angry off the court.

During the intermission, Lu Wenbin took the initiative to ask Ying to play, but Gao Hongbo did not approve, let him 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 Heinsiri suddenly kicked a long shot from outside the penalty area~www.wuxiahere.com~ 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: "Guide Gao, change me up, my body is fine!"

Gao Hongbo looked at the team doctor, who frowned and said: "Lu Wenbin will be fine after the second half, but after the fight, will it worsen his cold that is about to heal? I'm not sure!"

Lu Wenbin yelled, and said in a hurry, "How much have you cared about at this time? If we don't win this game, we will go home. What's the use of a cold?"

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

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

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

Not to mention the question of whether the illness will get worse after the game is over, that is, during the game, due to the impact of a cold, athletes will have a severe decline in physical strength, slow brain reactions, and distortion of technical movements.

Even if Lu Wenbin, the number one football player, playing at this time will not necessarily help the Chinese team reverse.

But Gao Hongbo had no choice.

The Chinese team is lagging behind, and at least it has to pull two goals in a row and reverse the score to win the line.

With the players on the court, there is almost no hope.

Therefore, when Lu Wenbin himself insisted on playing, he could only choose to make a desperate move and replace Lu Wenbin on the field.

In the 48th minute, the Chinese team changed. No. 6 Lu Wenbin was ordered to replace No. 18 Gao Lin. The Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV cheered. Everyone saw the Chinese team's hope of winning and qualifying.
