After playing a friendly match with Guangzhou Evergrande, Real Madrid flew to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, on August 4.
In Guizhou, Real Madrid received an even warmer welcome.
Guizhou currently does not even have a Chinese Super League team. Only Guizhou Zhicheng plays in the China League One to maintain its reputation, but its results are not good, ranking in the middle and lower reaches, and it has almost no presence in the Chinese football map.
However, Guizhou has a large number of football fans, even comparable to many populous provinces and football-rich provinces.
The main reason is Lu Wenbin.
The appearance of Lu Wenbin has made countless ordinary citizens of Guizhou become football fans, and countless ordinary fans have become die-hard fans.
Lu Wenbin is the first world-class football superstar to come out of Guizhou. He is the well-deserved business card and pride of Guizhou. Everyone is proud of Lu Wenbin.
Therefore, on the way from Guiyang Airport to the hotel near the Olympic Sports Center, Real Madrid was welcomed by tens of millions of fans. As for Lu Wenbin's name, it was shouted over and over again by the fans without stopping.
Originally, Guizhou Zhicheng's home stadium was not the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center, but in order to accommodate more enthusiastic fans, Guizhou Zhicheng had to move the game to the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center which was just completed not long ago.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the Guizhou Provincial Government and the Guiyang Municipal Government. The two levels of government naturally welcome Real Madrid to Guiyang, Guizhou to play a friendly match.
Even though Guizhou Zhicheng is a second-tier team, and even though the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center can accommodate more than 50,000 people, the tickets for this friendly match were sold out long ago, and many people could not buy tickets even if they increased the price.
Guizhou fans welcomed Real Madrid with the greatest enthusiasm, especially Lu Wenbin's homecoming.
On August 6, the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center was packed with people. Countless fans in the stands excitedly shouted Lu Wenbin's name and paid homage to him.
Of course, there are also names like Kaka, Ronaldo and Casillas, but in the home court of Lu Wenbin, a native of Guizhou, it is obvious that Lu Wenbin's supporters have an absolute advantage.
In this game, Lu Wenbin replaced Kaka and appeared in the starting position of attacking midfielder, with Ronaldo and Callejon on both sides, and Benzema and Higuain as forwards.
Lu Wenbin became the offensive core of Real Madrid.
In the final stage of Inter Milan, Lu Wenbin actually started to retreat and play in the midfield position.
Although he plays as a winger more often, Lu Wenbin can actually perform well on the wing because of Sneijder in the middle.
But after arriving at Real Madrid, Ozil had no previous relationship with Mourinho, so he didn't have to worry about Ozil.
Although Kaka is known as the Ballon d'Or winner and the Son of God, his performance in the first two seasons and this season's friendly matches has proved that Kaka has fallen from the altar and is no longer as brave as he was in AC Milan.
Therefore, Mourinho decided to make Lu Wenbin, who transferred with him from Inter Milan to Real Madrid, the offensive core in the attacking midfielder position.
In this position, Lu Wenbin's balanced ability with both feet and his broad vision allow him to play in the middle or on the wing, to break through and shoot, to pass and to run, fully playing the role of an offensive core.
Faced with Mourinho's decision and Lu Wenbin's fame and strength, Ozil couldn't even say a word of rebuttal and could only passively accept his fate as a substitute.
Moreover, even as a substitute, he still has to compete with Kaka, which is very stressful.
It's really not that easy to get into a wealthy family.
Naturally, Lu Wenbin would have no objection to Mourinho's arrangement.
Playing in the attacking midfielder position is obviously better than on the wing, posing a greater threat to the goal and providing greater help to the team.
Lu Wenbin lived up to expectations and organized Real Madrid's offense in an orderly manner in the first half.
In the 7th minute, Lu Wenbin dribbled past four players outside the penalty area and scored with a low shot. Wu Sihuo failed to save Lu Wenbin's shot. Guizhou Zhicheng 0-1 Real Madrid.
In the 17th minute, Ronaldo suddenly took a long shot from outside the penalty area, but Wu Sihuo reacted quickly and saved the ball.
In the 21st minute, Lu Wenbin suddenly lobbed the ball to the back post at the corner of the penalty area. Ronaldo rushed in from the wing, jumped high, and headed the ball into the goal of the Guizhou team guarded by Wang Lichun. Guizhou Zhicheng fell behind Real Madrid 0-2.
In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, made a wall pass with Benzema, and then scored a long shot from the penalty area line. Guizhou Zhicheng lost 0-3 to Real Madrid.
In the 37th minute, Benzema's close shot in the penalty area was blocked by Wu Sihuo's foot as if by reflex.
In the 43rd minute, Guizhou team finally launched an attack, but it was intercepted by Ramos in the penalty area and then passed to Lu Wenbin near the center circle.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Wenbin was going to drive straight into the game with the ball, Lu Wenbin suddenly raised his foot and passed the ball behind Guizhou Zhicheng's defense line.
Benzema successfully made an offside move and received a through pass from Lu Wenbin behind Guizhou Zhicheng's defense line, creating a one-on-one opportunity. He finally shot the ball into the goal, and Guizhou Zhicheng fell behind Real Madrid 0-4.
Moreover, two of Real Madrid's four goals were scored by Lu Wenbin, and the other two were assisted by Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin perfectly interprets what a true offensive core and all-around attacking midfielder is.
In the attacking midfielder position of Real Madrid, Lu Wenbin does perform better than Kaka and Ozil.
The fans thought that Lu Wenbin’s performance in the first half was enough to surprise everyone, but they didn’t expect that there would be an even bigger surprise in the second half.
After the 15-minute halftime break, when the players of both teams came out of the player tunnel, there was an uproar at the scene and in front of the TV:
During the half-time break, Lu Wenbin actually changed into Guizhou Zhicheng's No. 6 jersey and stood with the players of Guizhou Zhicheng.
Lu Wenbin will play a guest role as a player for his hometown team Guizhou Zhicheng in the second half, leading his hometown team to attack Real Madrid.
Although there is a huge gap in the overall strength of the two teams, Lu Wenbin can solve many problems alone.
Even though Xabi Alonso, Ramos, Pepe and others tried their best to intercept, they still failed to stop Lu Wenbin's goal.
In the 62nd minute, Lu Wenbin finally helped Guizhou Zhicheng score the first goal of the game. A volley shot from Lu Wenbin went straight into the goal guarded by Casillas.
In the 87th minute, Ramos pulled down Lu Wenbin and gave Lu Wenbin a free kick in the frontcourt.
Lu Wenbin activated the system skills and sent the ball into the goal of Real Madrid in one go.
In the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema each scored a goal for Real Madrid. The final score was 7-2 and Real Madrid won by 5 goals.
But the news after the game was obviously not about Real Madrid, but that Lu Wenbin scored a total of 4 goals in the first and second half for the two teams, leaving a memory that Guizhou Zhicheng fans will never forget.
Guizhou Zhicheng's goalkeeper Wu Sihuo also performed well. Although he conceded 7 goals, he also saved several threatening balls from Real Madrid. Through game videos and news, he successfully attracted the attention of several European teams.
Wu Sihuo's European dream may really come true.
