Before the game started, when the referee presided over the coin toss, No. 4 Middle School won the right to toss the side and Meijiang Middle School won the right to kick off.
Seeing that Nie Yingkun had obtained the right to kick off on behalf of Meijiang Middle School, and then seeing that all the players of No. 4 Middle School had relaxed expressions on their faces, Lu Wenbin had an idea and called Han Dapeng, Nie Yingkun, Xiang Youming and others together and gave them a few words.
Han Dapeng and others were surprised to hear Lu Wenbin's opening plan.
However, thinking of Lu Wenbin's strength and looking at the relaxed expressions of the players from No. 4 Middle School, everyone felt that it was worth a try.
So, several people nodded and agreed to rush to the fourth middle school halfcourt together after the kick-off to cooperate with Lu Wenbin and provide cover for him.
Then, Lu Wenbin and Han Dapeng stood in the center circle, ready to kick off, and the starting players of the two school teams also took their positions.
The players of No. 4 Middle School played 4-3-3, a more offensive formation with three clearly defined lines.
Meijiang Middle School changed its formation to a 5-3-2 defensive formation, focusing on defensive counterattacks.
After all, the overall strength of the opponents in the municipal competition is stronger than that of Meijiang Middle School. The defense line has more people and is safer. It depends on Lu Wenbin to go forward in the front, which is a bit of a matter of luck.
Lu Wenbin stood in the center circle, looking at the players from No. 4 Middle School with a relaxed look in their eyes. Some of them were still observing the performance of the audience in the stands. Lu Wenbin knew that the players from No. 4 Middle School were a little careless and underestimated their opponent.
After all, Meijiang Middle School came from the lower county, and in the eyes of the players from No. 4 Middle School, it was indeed not competitive.
Ever since the city-level high school football league was established a few years ago, the championship and runner-up positions have always been won by a few high schools in the city and Maotai schools, and have never been won by anyone else.
As the runner-up last season, No. 4 Middle School has every reason to look down on Meijiang Middle School in Meitan County.
No wonder the players from No. 4 Middle School looked distracted when the game was about to start. This was a blatant disregard!
However, Lu Wenbin did not feel insulted at all. Instead, he was secretly delighted.
"You underestimated the enemy and were careless. It would be best if you all couldn't see me when I rushed over with the ball!" Lu Wenbin thought to himself.
At 15:00 on the afternoon of February 27, 2007, with the referee's whistle, the first round of the city finals between Meitan County Meijiang Middle School and Zunyi City No. 4 Senior High School officially began.
Lu Wenbin lightly kicked the ball to Han Dapeng, then immediately ran forward, passing by the first forward player from No. 4 Middle School who was standing at the top of the center circle and rushed towards the Meijiang Middle School half after the kick-off.
After receiving the ball, Han Dapeng moved it diagonally forward two meters, just avoiding the forward who rushed up and pretended to grab the ball before giving up.
Then, without waiting for the second player of the opposing team to come up and grab the ball, Han Dapeng directly passed the ball back to Lu Wenbin, and Lu Wenbin started to rush directly towards the penalty area of No. 4 Middle School with the ball.
Behind and on both sides, three teammates, Han Dapeng, Nie Yingkun and Xiang Youming, also rushed towards the fourth middle school's half court with their arms rolled up, preparing to support Lu Wenbin and attack the fourth middle school's goal.
Seeing that Lu Wenbin from Meijiang Middle School did not pass the ball back after kicking off, but instead passed the ball once and then rushed into the penalty area of No. 4 Middle School, the players of No. 4 Middle School on the field and the audience in the stands were stunned.
"What kind of trick is this?" many people muttered in their hearts.
In most games we see, the ball is passed back after the kick-off, and then the offense is slowly organized. In a high school game, how can you rush into the opponent's penalty area with the ball right after the kick-off
Do you think you are the football king Maradona
However, although Meijiang Middle School made an offensive gesture at the beginning of the game, there were only four people including Lu Wenbin. The five defenders and midfielder Bi Rui behind them remained where they were.
It seems that this was just a tentative attack by the frontcourt players of Meiyang Middle School, not a strong attack by the entire team.
They had already looked down on Meijiang Middle School, and with Bi Rui and the backcourt players keeping their troops in place, the players from No. 4 Middle School were not too nervous.
The three forwards ignored Lu Wenbin and the other four who had already rushed into the fourth middle school's half, and instead ran to the Meijiang Middle School's half as they wished, waiting for their teammates in the backcourt to steal the ball and pass it to them to launch an attack.
As for Lu Wenbin who was dribbling the ball, no one thought that he could really break through the entire back line of No. 4 Middle School by himself, even though his dribbling speed seemed not to be underestimated.
Therefore, among the three midfielders of No. 4 Middle School, only the middle one defended Lu Wenbin, while the other two focused on Han Dapeng and Nie Yingkun who were running, and did not come up to grab Lu Wenbin.
It seems that the people in No. 4 Middle School have no idea that Lu Wenbin was dominating the county-level competition.
Seeing that there was only one person defending him, Lu Wenbin was overjoyed.
The more the opponent underestimated him, the more favorable it was for him to break through and shoot. It seemed that his plan to take advantage of the opponent's underestimation and attack immediately after the kick-off was likely to succeed.
Without any hesitation, Lu Wenbin rushed towards the midfielder from No. 4 Middle School with the ball.
The midfielder of No. 4 Middle School is named Song Haitao, a midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Last season, he was the main force in No. 4 Middle School's runner-up victory. This season, after the senior left, he has become the captain of No. 4 Middle School.
This is also the reason why the players from No. 4 Middle School did not come up to help him: everyone was confident in the captain's defensive ability and felt that Song Haitao should have no problem stopping Lu Wenbin.
The two sides quickly moved closer. Song Haitao retreated while staring at the football under Lu Wenbin's feet, ready to steal the ball at any time.
However, Lu Wenbin's strength was beyond his imagination, and he was not mentally prepared for Lu Wenbin's strength.
Just when the players of No. 4 Middle School were waiting for Song Haitao to steal or poke the ball away from Lu Wenbin's feet, Lu Wenbin actually made a bicycle motion while running.
It is rare for a high school amateur player to perform a bicycle kick during a game.
It's not that no one knows how to do the bicycle pedal, but it is difficult for amateur high school players to perform this move in a tense game according to actual conditions and with both speed and deception.
Song Haitao had never encountered a situation where his opponent stepped on his bicycle in a formal competition, and he was completely unprepared for this. He could only sway left and right following Lu Wenbin's rapidly shaking feet, fearing that Lu Wenbin would suddenly break through from either side.
However, how could the speed of his body swinging keep up with the speed of Lu Wenbin cycling
Just when Lu Wenbin's left foot passed over the ball, his step was a little too big. Song Haitao thought he was going to break through to the left with the ball, and then he exerted more force to that side.
As a result, Lu Wenbin's right foot did not pass over the ball again, but he pushed the ball to the right with the outside of his foot and quickly rushed past Song Haitao.
Song Haitao, who tried to turn around and intercept Lu Wenbin, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. He could only watch Lu Wenbin rush towards the goal of No. 4 Middle School with the ball.
