After the National Olympic Team qualified directly for the 2012 London Olympics as the first in the group, Lu Wenbin's participation in the National Olympic Team's qualifying round came to an end.
Naturally, Lu Wenbin will not have to play in the remaining round of group matches.
The next step was to lead the senior national team through the top ten of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
After finishing the Austrian Asian qualifying match against South Korea, Lu Wenbin returned to Spain. On February 26, Real Madrid had an away game in the 25th round of La Liga.
However, Lu Wenbin did not start in this game, nor was he included in the roster, or even sit on the bench, because he was still suffering from a cold and fever.
The Champions League match against CSKA Moscow in rain and snow, coupled with continuous traveling, made Lu Wenbin's cold quite serious.
Lu Wenbin, who was not easily injured, finally succumbed to the cold virus this time, which made the media and fans around the world feel that Lu Wenbin was still a normal person and could still get sick.
Without Lu Wenbin, Real Madrid's offensive power has indeed declined a lot.
Although Rayo Vallecano is a weak team ranked at the bottom, they still played a very good game against Real Madrid at home.
It wasn't until the 75th minute of the second half that Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal for Real Madrid.
In the end, Real Madrid managed to win 1-0 away from home thanks to a goal from Ronaldo, continuing their unbeaten record of the season and leading the standings.
On February 29, in the last round of the World Cup qualifiers group stage, the Chinese team faced Jordan at home.
The Chinese team, which had already secured a place in the next round, did not allow Lu Wenbin to participate. Lu Wenbin watched the live broadcast of the game in his villa in Madrid.
90 minutes later, the score on the big screen was 3-1. The Chinese team without Lu Wenbin still won the game with a two-goal advantage. With a record of 18 points in six rounds of the top 20 group stage, they broke through the top 20 and advanced to the top ten of the Asian zone of the World Cup qualifiers.
Jordan, which was defeated 3-1 by the Chinese team, was unlucky.
Before this round of matches, Jordan had 9 points and Iraq had only 6 points.
But after this round, Jordan, which lost to the Chinese team, still has 9 points, but Iraq also has 9 points after defeating Singapore.
Moreover, in the last round of the group stage, Iraq defeated Singapore by a huge score.
So, when Jordan and Iraq had the same points, Iraq came from behind and advanced to the top ten with the advantage of goal difference, while Jordan was eliminated in the top 20.
Group A is China and Iraq, which entered the top ten, Group B is South Korea and Lebanon, Group C is Uzbekistan and Japan, Group D is Australia and Oman, and Group E is Iran and Qatar.
These 10 teams will hold a draw ceremony for the top ten matches in March and will be divided into two groups to start the top ten matches in June. The top two teams in each group will directly advance to the Brazil World Cup finals, and the third place will play in the play-offs.
Time entered March. On March 4, in the 26th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Espanyol at home. Lu Wenbin was included in the roster, but did not start and sat on the bench.
At their home ground, Real Madrid stars performed well and took a 2-0 lead in the first half.
During the half-time break, Mourinho replaced Ozil with Lu Wenbin, and Lu Wenbin returned to the Bernabeu stadium, receiving applause from countless fans.
Although he had a cold and fever for more than a week, Lu Wenbin's performance on the court was not affected after he recovered.
Lu Wenbin, who came on as a substitute at halftime, still contributed a goal and an assist in the second half, and planned and launched Real Madrid's other two goals.
In the second half, Real Madrid scored four goals with Lu Wenbin.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 6-0 at home and achieved a resounding victory.
After 26 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid leads the standings with an unbeaten record of 23 wins, 3 draws and 72 points, 12 points ahead of second-placed Barcelona, and its lead is getting bigger and bigger.
In addition, with 26 unbeaten games this season and four unbeaten games at the end of last season, Real Madrid has achieved a record of 30 unbeaten games across seasons, which is almost catching up with Real Madrid's best unbeaten record in team history.
In the 1988/1989 season, Real Madrid achieved the longest unbeaten record in team history with 31 games unbeaten across seasons.
Now, with only one game left, Real Madrid will catch up with its own team record.
On March 9, before Real Madrid's next league game, the AFC held the draw ceremony for the top ten of the Asian qualifiers for the Brazil World Cup at the AFC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
Finally, the Chinese team was placed in Group B with Australia, Japan, Iraq and Oman. Group A included South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Lebanon.
Relatively speaking, Group B is stronger, with China, Australia, Japan and Iraq, a strong but war-worn team.
The situation in Group B is more complicated.
If the Chinese team can break through the siege and enter the World Cup this time, no one will say that they entered the World Cup by luck of the draw like in 2002.
On March 10, the day after the draw for the top ten, in the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Real Betis away.
Although both teams have the word "Royal" in their names, Real Betis' strength and record are obviously far behind Real Madrid.
Especially with Lu Wenbin starting in this game, Real Madrid's performance was even more impressive.
Even in an away game, Real Madrid achieved a score that was comparable to a home win.
Just in the fourth minute of the game, Lu Wenbin made a lightning-fast long-distance run, passed three people, broke into the penalty area and scored the first goal.
In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin used wonderful dribbling to force the opponent to commit a foul and won a free kick, which he scored himself.
Lu Wenbin scored twice and Real Madrid led 2-0 away from home.
In the 39th minute, Lu Wenbin instigated Real Madrid's third goal.
Although it was not him who scored the goal, it was he who initiated the attack with a long pass in the midfield. Even ordinary fans could see the role of Lu Wenbin in this goal.
In the second half, Lu Wenbin contributed another goal and an assist. Real Betis took advantage of the slackness of Real Madrid stars and scored a face-saving goal before the end of the game.
In the end, Lu Wenbin scored a hat trick and had an assist in this game, leading Real Madrid to a 5-1 away win over Real Betis.
This victory brought Real Madrid's unbeaten streak across seasons to 31 games, tying the team's longest unbeaten record in La Liga.
