After the Chinese team defeated Laos 10-0 at home, the second round completely lost its suspense.
Even without Lu Wenbin, Laos would not have been able to reverse the defeat against China and advance to the top 20.
However, Lu Wenbin did not announce that he would not participate in the second round away game.
Because the national team's experience in the World Cup qualifiers is considerable, just like the club's experience in the Champions League, with 50,000 assists, 100,000 goals and 200,000 wins.
In this match against Laos 10-0, Lu Wenbin received 5 goals worth 500,000 + 4 assists worth 200,000 + a win worth 200,000, a total of 900,000 experience points, which brought his experience points to level 19, 4.482 million/20 million.
Anyway, the season hasn't started yet, and I'm just sitting there doing nothing. I might as well play the second round of away games, gain more experience, and practice passing and cutting with my teammates.
Moreover, after the first round of the match with the Laos team, excluding friendly matches and matches of the National Olympic U23 youth team, Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in official matches for the adult national team has reached a terrifying 30, only 2 goals away from the highest record of 32 goals for an individual national team player created by Hao Haidong.
It took Hao Haidong 91 games to score 32 official goals for the national team, while Lu Wenbin's current 30 goals took him only 10 games, averaging 3 goals per game.
Although all his goals were scored against weak Asian teams, his goal efficiency is still far better than that of Hao Haidong, the former top scorer in the history of the Chinese national football team.
Especially after the first round of the match with the Laos team, in addition to reporting the national team's 10-0 victory, Lu Wenbin's five goals and a total of 30 national team goals also became the focus of media reports.
If Lu Wenbin had not suppressed his desire to score and assisted his teammates with 4 goals, Lu Wenbin would have no problem scoring one or two more goals.
In that case, Lu Wenbin might be able to catch up with or even surpass Hao Haidong's record in the first round.
Even though there is still a shortfall of 2 goals, it doesn't seem to be a problem for Lu Wenbin.
As long as Lu Wenbin is willing, it will be no problem for him to score more than 2 goals against a team like Laos, even in an away game. As long as he scores 3 goals, he will officially surpass Hao Haidong.
Therefore, many domestic media and fans expressed their hope that Lu Wenbin would score more than three goals in the second round and officially become the best scorer in the history of the Chinese team.
Hao Haidong also said in an interview that he did not care about his record being broken. As long as Lu Wenbin could lead the Chinese team into the World Cup, it would be the biggest happy event for Chinese football.
On July 28, in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team played away against Laos, and Lu Wenbin did not hold back.
In the 3rd minute, Lu Wenbin made a stunning long shot outside the penalty area to let the Laos team see Lu Wenbin's strength.
The ball passed through the heavily populated restricted area like lightning, and no one reacted to stop it until the ball hit the post and went into the goal.
According to statistics after the game, the speed of this shot exceeded 100 kilometers per hour, which was one of the fastest shots since Lu Wenbin started keeping statistics. No wonder no one on the Laos team could react and intercept it even from a long shot outside the penalty area.
Lu Wenbin scored the first goal for the Chinese team, which took a 1-0 lead away from home. His total number of goals for the national team also reached 31.
In the 9th minute, Lu Wenbin personally dribbled the ball towards the Laos team's penalty area.
The Laos team also knew that Lu Wenbin might use them to break the record today, so they paid special attention to defending Lu Wenbin.
However, Lu Wenbin's physique, dribbling, speed, judgment, creativity, etc. are far superior to those of the Laotian players, making them unable to defend against him.
When facing two opponents' kicking interception on the penalty area line, Lu Wenbin imitated Blanco and made a frog jump over the opponents.
He just clamped the ball under his feet with both feet, and then jumped between two people. Not only did he jump the ball over, he also broke through the two people's closed defense and entered the restricted area.
Although he staggered a bit when he landed and someone was rushing towards him, Lu Wenbin still raised his foot and shot the ball accurately between the goalkeeper and the post into the goal.
Lu Wenbin's unexpected frog jump performance silenced more than 10,000 Laotian fans at the Vientiane Stadium, leaving only thousands of Chinese fans and reporters cheering and screaming in the stands.
Lu Wenbin scored twice within 10 minutes, and the Chinese team led 2-0. Lu Wenbin's total number of goals for the national team reached 32, tying Hao Haidong's national team record of 32 goals. Lu Wenbin and Hao Haidong are tied for the best scorer in the history of the Chinese national football team.
However, the game was not over yet, Lu Wenbin's goal was not over yet, and the game continued.
In the 23rd minute, Lu Wenbin's shot resulted in a corner kick. After Deng Zhuoxiang sent the corner kick, there was chaos in the restricted area, and the ball suddenly fell at the feet of Lu Wenbin at the corner of the small restricted area.
But he had his back to the goal at the time, and two Laotian players were sticking to him tightly, leaving him no room to turn around.
Just as other Laotian players rushed over and were about to steal the ball from his feet, Lu Wenbin suddenly raised his foot and shot with his heel.
The ball passed through the crotch of the player behind him and went into the goal.
Lu Wenbin completed a hat trick and the Chinese team led 3-0.
Lu Wenbin's total number of goals for the national team has reached 33, officially surpassing Hao Haidong's 32 goals, becoming the player with the most goals in official matches for the Chinese adult national team and the best scorer in the history of the national football team.
Chinese fans, both at the scene and in front of the TV, congratulated Lu Wenbin with their warmest applause and cheers.
The CCTV commentator in charge of the commentary also excitedly announced to fans across the country that Lu Wenbin had become the top scorer in the history of the Chinese national football team.
After scoring this meaningful goal, Lu Wenbin and his teammates had a lively celebration.
Before, he would celebrate normally after scoring a goal.
It can be seen that this ball is still somewhat exciting for him.
However, Lu Wenbin's goals did not end with breaking the record.
Before the end of the first half, in the 43rd minute, the Laos team finally couldn't help but knocked Lu Wenbin to the ground when he dribbled past two people, giving Lu Wenbin a free kick in a good position.
Previously, a free kick was missed by the system, but this time Lu Wenbin took the penalty himself and kicked the ball into the goal.
Goalkeeper Sai Kong Yong was out of reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.
China beat China 4-0, Lu Wenbin scored four goals, and his total number of goals for the national team has reached 34.
The score of this game is 4-0, and the total score is 14-0, there is no suspense anymore.
So, during the half-time break, Gao Hongbo replaced Lu Wenbin to give other players the opportunity to practice in the game.
In the second half, the Chinese team scored three goals in a row, and the Lao team finally scored a goal, avoiding having their heads shaved in front of their fellow countrymen.
Finally, in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team defeated Laos 10-0 at home and 7-1 away, with an aggregate score of 17-1, and advanced to the top 20 group stage of the Asian qualifiers for the Brazil World Cup.
Lu Wenbin also became the top scorer in Chinese team history with a record of 34 goals in 11 games, the first person in Chinese football history.
