Many stars will score a world-class goal during the warm-up before the game to give their opponents and their fans a warning.
But Lu Wenbin felt that the technical level of doing so was still too low for him.
With Lu Wenbin's 20/20 shooting technique, it was easy for him to score a long shot from outside the penalty area without any interference during the pre-match warm-up.
Therefore, he didn't want to do that.
What he wanted to do was to imitate Ronaldinho and hit the goal frame continuously.
In 2005, Ronaldinho wore the gold boots provided by Nike during a training session and demonstrated his technique of hitting the goal frame four times in a row and having the ball bounce back accurately.
That video was considered a Nike advertisement, and its authenticity is unknown. Some people in the football world and among fans believe it, while others do not, and the controversy is quite great.
But after his own practice, Lu Wenbin believes that it is possible to hit the goal frame four times in a row and have the ball bounce back accurately.
Because he himself had hit the goal frame three times in a row and the ball bounced back after his shooting attribute reached 20/20, and hitting the goal frame twice in a row was commonplace.
As long as you keep trying, if you get lucky, you may succeed five or six times in a row, not to mention four times in a row.
However, Lu Wenbin did not try to do such boring things too much, and today he would not try to hit the crossbar continuously like Ronaldinho.
Because with that method, Lu Wenbin can usually only hit the target twice, and occasionally three times, but he has never hit it four times. Lu Wenbin does not want to make this completely uncertain attempt in front of so many people.
Even though he hit the post three times in a row with his volleys, it didn't cause much sensation considering Ronaldinho had already scored four in a row.
Lu Wenbin decided to try a different approach.
After making the decision, Lu Wenbin said to his teammates who were practicing passing the ball together, "Everyone, help me put the ball on the forbidden area line. I'm going to play a game."
After several days of training, Lu Wenbin's superior technical and tactical level, coupled with his leadership aura, has completely conquered all his teammates in the national team, including older players such as Zheng Zhi.
Therefore, although they did not understand what Lu Wenbin wanted to do, everyone still followed Lu Wenbin's instructions and brought the ball to the restricted area line, and lined up according to Lu Wenbin's requirements.
After placing ten balls evenly spaced on the penalty area line, Lu Wenbin asked the goalkeeper to step away from the goal and he was ready to shoot.
The fans and reporters in the stands noticed the Chinese team's actions, and the live broadcast equipment also focused on Lu Wenbin.
No one knows what Lu Wenbin is going to do, but that doesn't stop everyone from being curious.
Putting ten balls on the penalty area line and asking the goalkeeper to step away, what is the purpose of this
Are you practicing shooting
At such a close distance, with no one to interfere and no goalkeeper, I'm afraid even an amateur player could make all ten of the free throws, right
What is the significance of Lu Wenbin doing this
Some Lebanese fans even laughed and said, "Does Lu Wenbin want to make 10 free throws to intimidate us?"
The other Lebanese fans around also laughed.
If Lu Wenbin really did this, he would undoubtedly be a laughing stock.
Although the live broadcast equipment also felt that Lu Wenbin was going to make a fool of himself, Lu Wenbin was undoubtedly the number one superstar on the court. Regardless of whether it was a joke or not, since Lu Wenbin was about to do something, it was always right to point the camera at him.
In Lebanon and China, many viewers who had turned on TV and watched the live broadcast online in advance were looking at Lu Wenbin in front of the goal in confusion.
On the field, the Lebanese players who were also warming up before the game in the other half stopped their warm-up and looked curiously at what Lu Wenbin, known as the No. 1 superstar in Asia, was trying to do.
Under the curious gazes of countless people, Lu Wenbin stood behind the first ball on the left, took a few steps, and then kicked the ball towards the goal.
Many Lebanese fans have already shown sneering smiles.
European Golden Boot winner Lu Wenbin actually practiced shooting at an empty goal without even a goalkeeper in front of tens of millions of fans at the scene and in front of TV
And it was a shot from the penalty area line, less than 20 meters away from the goal frame
Then, under everyone's gaze, Lu Wenbin's first shot hit the left goal post and bounced out of the bottom line.
"Hahaha… "
The stands were suddenly filled with roars of laughter from countless Lebanese fans, while the Chinese fans looked at each other, not knowing what expression to make.
Lu Wenbin's teammates stood outside the restricted area, looking at Lu Wenbin in surprise and speechlessness.
With Lu Wenbin's shooting skills, it is impossible for him not to score from such a close distance
Lu Wenbin, who scored numerous goals in European competitions, failed in his first shot at the empty goal on the penalty area line.
The Chinese players felt a little unbelievable, while the Lebanese players on the other half felt encouraged.
If Lu Wenbin plays in this state throughout today's game, it will undoubtedly ease their defensive pressure a lot and increase their chances of winning.
Amid the roar of laughter from the Lebanese players and fans and the puzzled looks from the Chinese players and fans, Lu Wenbin continued his run-up as if he didn't care and kicked the second ball towards the goal.
This time, the ball kicked by Lu Wenbin hit the door frame with a "bang".
However, this time it did not hit the goalpost, but the crossbar.
But the result is the same, the bottom line is always hit.
The Lebanese fans laughed even louder. Some of Lu Wenbin's teammates and some Chinese fans even covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Where are the new core, new captain and leader of the new era of Chinese football
Is it like this
Why couldn't you score two consecutive shots from the restricted area without any interference
Amid the louder laughter of the Lebanese fans, Lu Wenbin came back with a faint smile on his face and stood behind the third ball.
Then, Lu Wenbin started slowly, took a few steps, and kicked the ball towards the goal frame.
Because it is a fixed-point penalty kick, not a volley like Ronaldinho's, the difficulty and error are reduced exponentially, and the reliance on luck is also reduced countless times.
Moreover, there was no interference from anyone, not even the goalkeeper, and Lu Wenbin's 20/20 shot could really hit the target wherever he pointed.
The third ball undoubtedly continued to hit the crossbar as Lu Wenbin set it, and then bounced out of the goal frame.
Most Lebanese fans continued to laugh heartily, but some began to feel something was wrong.
After all, Lu Wenbin is also a professional player, and he is also praised by Ibrahimovic as a top European striker with the highest goal efficiency.
Lu Wenbin's accurate shooting skills have been praised by the entire world of football, otherwise he would not have been able to break the record and win the European Golden Boot.
There was such a huge empty goal, and there was not even a goalkeeper. The shot was undisturbed on the penalty area line. It would have been fine once or twice, but how come he couldn't score for three consecutive times
Even if Lu Wenbin was the opponent, and even if they hoped that Lu Wenbin would perform poorly today, some fans could not believe that Lu Wenbin would be so bad as to miss all three shots.
