Not only were fans all over China very excited and happy about the national team's 5-0 victory in the first match, Lu Wenbin himself was also very happy.
Because while he helped the national team win its first victory in the Asian Cup, he himself also received very generous single-game system rewards.
Although the technical and tactical level of the Asian Cup is certainly far inferior to that of the Champions League, due to the honor bonus of the national team competition and the special nature of it only happening once every four years, the system gives very high experience rewards for the Asian Cup: the experience reward for a single game is on par with the Champions League.
In other words, Lu Wenbin's outstanding performance in the first game earned him a total of 3 assists 150,000 + 2 goals 200,000 + win 200,000, a total of 550,000 experience points in rewards.
Combined with the experience accumulated in the early stage, his system experience rose to level 18 5.399 million/10 million.
The experience of the Asian Cup is so high. Looking further ahead, the experience of the World Cup and the Confederations Cup is definitely higher than that of the Asian Cup, and much higher.
As Lu Wenbin's experience in club games has made it difficult for him to advance, national team games seem to be another way to gain experience.
If we can win the Asian Cup, qualify for the Confederations Cup, and then advance from the Asian qualifiers to the World Cup, even if we don't win the championship, we can still gain a lot of experience just by playing in the group stage.
Therefore, in addition to national honor, the national team's games are also closely related to Lu Wenbin's own personal interests, giving him more reasons to fight for the country.
The next day, January 9, the two Group B matches were held as scheduled. Japan was tied 1-1 by Jordan, and Saudi Arabia lost 1-2 to Syria.
It seems that the Japanese team, one of the favorites to win the championship, has not yet entered the state.
On the same day, in the 19th round of Serie A, Inter Milan played away against Catania and finally defeated the opponent 2-1 away from home, continuing to take all three points and lead the standings.
On January 10, it was the turn of the four teams in Group C of the Asian Cup to appear.
In the end, India lost 0-4 to Australia, and South Korea won 2-1 against Bahrain. Both South Korea and Australia successfully defeated their opponents, won all three points, and took the initiative to qualify.
However, when the second match of Group C between South Korea and Bahrain was held in the evening, apart from the fans of these two countries, almost no one in other Asian countries paid attention to it, and no one in Europe and the United States was interested.
China even used three channels, CCTV-1, CCTV-13 and CCTV-5, to broadcast an award ceremony that was held almost simultaneously with the South Korea VS Bahrain match.
After a long period of advertising, countless ordinary audiences across the country, in addition to football fans, watched the award ceremony in front of their TVs or computers.
Even though it was already midnight Beijing time when the awards were presented, it did not stop the Chinese people from eagerly awaiting the awards ceremony.
Because this award ceremony that the people of the whole country are looking forward to is the first FIFA Ballon d'Or award ceremony after the merger of the 2010 FIFA Year-End Gala, the European Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Footballer of the Year, and the winner is almost certain to be Lu Wenbin.
The awards ceremony will be held at 19:00 local time on January 10, 2011 at the Zurich Conference Center in Switzerland.
In 2010, Lu Wenbin's name was all over the world of football.
Champions League champion, treble winner, Champions League Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, European Cup goal record, annual total goal of 94 goals, Serie A consecutive goal record, world's first transfer value of 100 million euros, world's first annual salary, etc., make Lu Wenbin's name known to everyone in the media and fan groups who follow football all over the world. He is already recognized by the world as the top superstar in today's football.
Even the most prejudiced Western racists against the yellow race and the Chinese cannot refute Lu Wenbin's outstanding achievements.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or is the official recognition of Lu Wenbin's world number one title.
Probably apart from the Spaniards who still hold out a tiny hope that Iniesta, who scored the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa and led Spain to a historic World Cup title, will win the Ballon d'Or, the media and fans in other countries all know that the winner of this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or will definitely be Lu Wenbin.
Although the award ceremony is scheduled during the Asian Cup group stage, China's first group match is on January 8, the second group match is on January 12, and the Golden Globe Award Ceremony is on January 10.
The time was right in the middle of China's first and second group matches, so Lu Wenbin was able to attend the award ceremony.
As the first Chinese player with a great chance of winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the whole of China attaches great importance to this.
Needless to say, the media and fans were excited, and the authorities also attached great importance to Lu Wenbin's award.
Not only the Chinese Football Association, but also the General Administration of Sport of China stepped in and contacted the Qatar Football Association and Qatar Aviation Department to charter a special plane for Lu Wenbin to travel between Doha, Qatar and Zurich, Switzerland.
Of course, the Golden Globe Award is a great honor, but it is a personal award after all. It is impossible for the state to pay for such a private award, so in the end it was Lu Wenbin himself who paid.
But considering the importance of the Golden Globe Award, paying for chartering a private plane is just a small matter for Lu Wenbin.
As long as the Football Association can help him contact Qatar Airways, and solve the VIP channel entry and exit, special car pick-up and contact matters at both airports, he can travel between Doha and Zurich without wasting time, without delaying the award or the Asian Cup.
After all the contacts were arranged, on the morning of January 10, Lu Wenbin and his girlfriend, parents, assistant, bodyguards, etc. took a special car to Doha International Airport, and then went directly to the apron from the VIP channel. After boarding the special plane, it took off with almost no delay and flew to Zurich, Switzerland.
After more than 5 hours of flight, the special plane arrived in Zurich, Switzerland at 2:00 p.m.
I left through the VIP channel again and took a special car directly to a star-rated hotel near the Zurich Conference Center to stay, take a short rest, eat something, dress up, and then rush to the award ceremony.
When Lu Wenbin got out of the courtesy car and walked into the conference center with his girlfriend Kate, the reporters and fans who had been waiting at the entrance of the venue suddenly became excited.
Reporters' flash lights flashed one after another, and one by one they wanted to cross the security to interview Lu Wenbin.
Of course, none of that happened.
The fans waved all kinds of notebooks, scarves, flags, etc., screaming and calling Lu Wenbin's name, wanting him to sign for them. Among them were many local Chinese fans waving the five-star red flag.
Lu Wenbin did not refuse, signed autographs for several fans, briefly answered questions from several reporters, and then walked into the venue under the guidance of the staff. (Seeking monthly tickets)
