As soon as the first round of the Spanish Super Cup ended, Lu Wenbin became popular around the world again, occupying the front pages and major reports of countless media.
Many television stations and newspapers even used emergency interruptions and special issues to report the results of the Spanish national derby as soon as possible.
"Lu Wenbin's first game after joining Real Madrid was against the Spanish national derby. Lu Wenbin scored four goals and made an assist to dominate the game!"
"Lu Wenbin stunned the Spanish football world by scoring four goals in his first match against Barcelona!"
"Real Madrid is about to usher in the era of Lu Wenbin!"
The Spanish national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona is probably the most famous derby at the club level in the world.
Any player who shines in the Spanish national derby will be talked about by all the media and fans in the world of football for many years.
For example, the hat trick Messi performed in the derby is still a classic in world football.
Today's national derby in the Super Cup brought together three of the strongest players and Ballon d'Or winners in today's football, Lu Wenbin, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and attracted global attention. Television stations and media in more than 100 countries broadcast and report on the match, with hundreds of millions of viewers.
There was a conflict on the field during the match and the two teams almost got into a brawl, which made many fans excited and called their friends to watch the live broadcast together, resulting in an even larger number of viewers.
In the Spanish national derby that attracted worldwide attention, Lu Wenbin scored four goals and made one assist in his first official match for Real Madrid, which was a stunning feat. He was the one who scored all five goals for Real Madrid.
In the history of the Spanish national derby, only Marti Ventola in 1935 completed the only hat-trick, and this is Lu Wenbin's second time.
In his first game for Real Madrid, his first national derby, he surpassed many super shooters from both teams, including Puskas, Romagno, Messi, etc., and became one of the only two people to create a hat trick.
This is not only the reign of the Bernabeu, this is the reign of Spanish football. It is definitely the most shocking and stunning debut in the history of Spanish football!
When the news came out that Lu Wenbin transferred to Real Madrid for 150 million euros and his annual salary was as high as 20 million, some people questioned whether Lu Wenbin's transfer fee and annual salary were too high.
There is no doubt about Lu Wenbin's ability, but when other well-known stars generally only have an annual salary of a few million, and top superstars such as Ronaldo, Kaka, and Messi have barely broken 10 million, Lu Wenbin's transfer fee and annual salary are simply several years ahead of the world football.
It feels a bit too high.
But now, no one feels high anymore.
In his first official match, still at the Bernabeu Stadium, he faced his arch-rival Barcelona in the national derby, scoring four goals and giving an assist.
Such a performance was undoubtedly absolutely dominant and completely conquered all the proud Real Madrid fans.
Florentino's gamble on Lu Wenbin felt like great value for money from the first game.
In just one game, Lu Wenbin completely conquered everyone from the Real Madrid club to the team to the fans.
Compared to Lu Wenbin's dominant performance with four goals and an assist, Real Madrid's refusal to line up to welcome Barcelona, the brawl between the two teams' players, Mourinho being sent to the stands for intimidating Messi on the sidelines, etc., are just small tidbits.
Lu Wenbin’s news occupied the media pages for two or three days until the second round of the Spanish Super Cup began.
Three days later, at 9 p.m. on August 17, the second round of the 2011 Spanish Super Cup was held at Barcelona's home stadium, Camp Nou.
Although they fell behind by four goals in the first leg, Barcelona still did not give up.
In the first round, Real Madrid refused to line up to welcome them and they lost 1-5, which made Lu Wenbin the second player in the history of the Spanish national derby to score four goals, which was a shame.
Therefore, even though they know the chances of winning are slim, Barcelona must still try their best.
However, Guardiola also learned the lesson from the big loss in the first round.
Lu Wenbin's counterattack speed is really too fast and his ability is super strong. Whether it is breaking through and shooting or passing and assisting, Lu Wenbin is all-round. There is almost nothing that Lu Wenbin can't do in offense.
Barcelona's 433 formation is missing a defensive line and is naturally at a disadvantage.
When playing against other teams, Barcelona's 433 formation can also use their passing and control techniques and oppressive offense to force the opponent to have few offensive opportunities, and finally win by attacking instead of defending.
But facing Mourinho, who is good at defensive counterattacks, especially with an all-round counterattack expert like Lu Wenbin, Barcelona's 433 all-attack formation is naturally restrained.
Therefore, in the second round of the Super Cup, Barcelona also used a 4231 formation, with Alves, Puyol, Abidal and Pique as the defenders, Mascherano and Busquets as the defensive midfielders, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta as the attacking midfielders, and Villa as the lone striker.
Sure enough, with the addition of Mascherano and Busquets as defensive midfielders, Barcelona's defense became much safer.
Until half an hour into the game, Real Madrid's counterattack had not been able to break through Barcelona's defense.
However, with the increase in defensive players, Barcelona's offensive numbers and strength naturally decreased a lot, and the threat was seriously reduced.
Half an hour into the game, Barcelona, playing at home, also failed to break through Real Madrid's defense.
It was Barcelona that was trailing by four goals.
It is useless to defend cautiously like this to prevent counterattacks from Real Madrid and Lu Wenbin.
Even if the final score is 0-0, it is still a victory for Real Madrid.
But for Barcelona, not scoring a single goal and having to watch their opponents win the championship trophy in their own stadium is absolutely unbearable.
So, in the 32nd minute, Guardiola waved his hand and ordered the team to start a massive attack. Busquets and two full-backs began to press forward to participate in the attack. Only Puyol, Abidal and Mascherano were left to guard against counterattacks from Lu Wenbin, Benzema, Ronaldo and Di Maria.
In the 36th minute, Barcelona, which was attacking vigorously, actually took the lead in breaking through Real Madrid's goal.
The one who scored the goal was Messi, the successor to the football king Maradona who was highly expected by Barcelona fans.
Xavi got rid of Khedira's defense in the midfield and passed the ball directly to Villa. Villa broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to the middle. After receiving the ball, Messi shook off Pepe with a sudden change of rhythm and pushed the ball into the dead corner of the goal.
Suddenly, the entire Camp Nou stadium regained its vitality, and Barcelona fans seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Still three goals behind.
If Barcelona can score three more goals and beat Real Madrid 4-0, they will win the championship with the advantage of away goals.
With Barcelona's attack, it is not impossible to score three more goals, even against Real Madrid.
