In the 78th minute, Lu Wenbin scored five goals in a single game and led the Chinese team to a 6-1 lead over Japan at home.
At this time and with this score, the Chinese team is sure to win.
Gao Hongbo began to make substitutions, strengthen the defense, and replace players who were lacking in physical strength.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
When the referee's final whistle blew, the fans who had been celebrating inside and outside the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center suddenly cheered and screamed even louder, celebrating that the Chinese team had advanced to the Brazil World Cup finals three rounds ahead of schedule.
The domestic commentators in the commentary booth raised their voices excitedly and said:
"The game is over, the game is over, 6-1, the Chinese team has qualified three rounds in advance!"
"Brazil World Cup, the Chinese team is here!"
"Except for the host Brazil team, China has become the first team to advance from the qualifiers to the Brazil World Cup finals!"
Across the country, countless televisions, computers, and live broadcasts on large screens in squares displayed the words "We've qualified," just like when China qualified for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.
Fans from all over the country came out of their homes, paraded, set off firecrackers, and celebrated like crazy.
The whole country was in a frenzy.
Before Lu Wenbin appeared, Chinese football continued to be sluggish and went downhill, leaving people with no hope.
In China, it is politically correct to criticize the Chinese national football team and the Chinese Football Association. Anyone who watches the Chinese national football team's games is an idiot and will be despised by his classmates and friends.
Chinese fans have also created many sad and tearful jokes. For example, there is a joke that goes like this:
Football fans from China, Japan and South Korea met God. South Korean fans asked: "When will South Korea win the World Cup?"
God replied: "50 years!"
The Korean fans counted on their fingers and felt that they might live to see that day, so they left happily.
Japanese fans asked: "When will Japan win the World Cup?"
God replied: "100 years!"
The Japanese fans thought they would never see it again in their lifetime, so they left crying.
Finally, Chinese fans asked: "When can China win the World Cup?"
God was silent for a while, then he started crying and said, "I probably won't be able to see the Chinese team win the World Cup in my lifetime!"
Even God won't live to see the day when the Chinese team wins the World Cup, which shows how disappointed the Chinese fans who created this joke are with the national football team.
There is another joke that says a Chinese football fan died and met God. God said he could fulfill one wish of the Chinese fan. The Chinese fan said he wanted to sink the Japanese island.
God said this one is too difficult, let’s change it!
So a Chinese fan said he wanted the Chinese team to win the World Cup.
God wiped his sweat and asked, "What was your last wish? Bring me the globe."
These jokes are full of the tears and self-deprecating spirit of Chinese fans, as well as a kind of helplessness of being disappointed in their teammates.
There are also such as:
"You can't find 11 people among 1.3 billion who can play football."
"A: I heard that your brother plays football and is a member of the national team? B: Your brother is the one who plays football, your whole family plays for the national team!"
"Zheng Zhi's greatest role is to turn his opponents into Zheng Zhi-like players on the field."
"No one can beat Chinese table tennis, and no one can beat Chinese football."
"Smoking is harmful to health, and watching the Chinese national football team is harmful to life."
"The current situation of the Chinese national football team: their age is basically fictitious, their brains are basically rusty, they basically rely on walking to attack, they basically rely on looking to pass, they basically rely on their hands to stop the ball, they basically rely on shouting to dribble past opponents, they basically rely on hugging to defend, and they basically don't score any goals."
All of the above are self-deprecating jokes created by Chinese fans in response to the dark decline of Chinese football.
It was not until Lu Wenbin appeared that Chinese fans saw a different Chinese player, and he led Chinese football to achieve various breakthrough achievements.
In the club, Lu Wenbin won the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga championships, three consecutive Champions Leagues, three consecutive trebles, six championships, and so on.
In the national team, Lu Wenbin led the Chinese men's football team to win the first Asian Cup championship and led the national Olympic team to win the first Olympic championship.
In terms of personal honors, Lu Wenbin has won records and honors such as ten goals in a single game, the top scorer in the history of the Champions League, 168 goals in the year, four consecutive European Golden Boots, three consecutive Golden Globe Awards, and three consecutive Laureus Awards.
Under the influence of Lu Wenbin, the country launched a severe anti-gambling and anti-gang storm in Chinese football, which cleared up the atmosphere of Chinese football. Campus football leagues at all levels covering universities, middle schools and primary schools across the country have become increasingly perfect.
Under the influence of Lu Wenbin, more and more children are playing football, and China's football reserve force is growing rapidly.
As the football population base increases, Chinese football may win the Asian Cup and the Olympics in the future even without Lu Wenbin.
Now, Lu Wenbin has led the Chinese national football team to become the first team in the world to advance from the World Cup qualifiers to the Brazil World Cup finals, which is a great honor.
Today, countless Chinese fans finally felt the happiness of football.
They can unscrupulously announce to their relatives and friends that they are fans and that they love Chinese football without being despised by them.
At the scene, when the final whistle sounded, the Chinese team coach, team doctor, staff and substitute players on the sidelines rushed into the field and celebrated wildly with their teammates on the field.
The Japanese players left the field quietly, and the Japanese fans also left quietly, leaving only the excited Chinese people celebrating wildly inside and outside the Olympic Sports Center.
After defeating Japan, China's points reached 18, while Japan's points remained at 10.
In another match that was taking place at the same time, Australia was tied 2-2 by the away team Oman, with 6 points.
With three games left in Australia, even if they win all of them they can only get 9 points, a total of 15 points, and will never be able to exceed China's 18 points.
The Chinese team qualified three rounds in advance, becoming one of the top ten teams in Asia and the first team in the world to qualify from the World Cup qualifiers.
After the game, not only did the Chinese media report on the match extensively, but media from countless foreign countries also reported on the Chinese team's qualification.
"In the World Cup Asian Qualifiers, the Chinese team defeated Japan 6-1 at home and advanced to the next round!"
"Lu Wenbin led the Chinese team to defeat Japan with five goals in a single game and advance from Asia!"
"The Chinese team qualified three rounds in advance, becoming the first team to advance from the qualifiers to the Brazil World Cup finals!"
"Hundreds of millions of Chinese fans celebrated the Chinese team's victory over Japan and their qualification for the World Cup qualifiers!"
Amid the whole of China’s carnival, Lu Wenbin, who had finished the game, did not have time to celebrate too much and returned to Europe.
He still has to continue participating in the club's competitions!
Only domestic players can have more time to appear on TV, accept interviews and party with fans.
