Due to their contempt for Meijiang Middle School, the defense line of Datong Middle School, which followed Gu Zhengpeng's collective forward attack after the kick-off, was a bit empty.
When Nie Yingkun made a successful tackle, Han Dapeng decisively passed the ball to Lu Wenbin, and Lu Wenbin dribbled past the Datong Middle School midfielder who was guarding him closely, the road ahead for Lu Wenbin was almost smooth.
There was only one central defender left in front of Lu Wenbin.
Although there was a central defender and a full-back in the parallel position of Lu Wenbin and chasing in the direction of Lu Wenbin, their positions and distances meant they were destined to not be able to catch up with Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin caught up with the ball he had lobbed and dribbled directly into the penalty area before the last central defender intercepted it.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper of Datong Middle School, Lu Wenbin shot the ball, which passed under his armpit and into the goal.
Just one minute into the game, Lu Wenbin scored a goal through a quick counterattack, and Meijiang Middle School beat Datong Middle School 1-0.
Claire and other club scouts on the sidelines suddenly had their eyes lit up, and quickly recorded in their notebooks what Lu Wenbin showed in this goal.
Physical fitness, speed, extraordinary skills, psychological quality, shooting skills, etc., what Lu Wenbin showed in this goal let everyone know that his four goals in the first game was not a fluke.
It is indeed rare to see such a player appear in the high school campus league.
Even those players in the youth teams of professional clubs, such as Gu Zhengpeng, are far from Lu Wenbin.
After all, they are still only youth team players and have never entered the first team, so they cannot be considered formal professional players.
Lu Wenbin's comprehensiveness is comparable to that of a professional player, and he can still gain a foothold even in the China League One or China League Two.
Claire and the domestic club scouts were all excited, while the coach of Datong Middle School was furious.
Before the game, he repeatedly told the players to strengthen their defense against Lu Wenbin. Unexpectedly, Lu Wenbin scored a goal just one minute into the game.
Moreover, the main reason for the loss of the ball was that Datong Middle School did not guard Lu Wenbin strictly. In the end, there was only one defensive midfielder and one central defender to stop Lu Wenbin. There was no one to interfere with the defense, so Lu Wenbin naturally passed him easily.
The carelessness and underestimation of the opponent shown by Datong Middle School's defense line in this goal made the coach furious and he yelled at the players on the field.
The midfielders and defenders of Datong Middle School could only lower their heads and silently endure the coach’s roar.
At Meijiang Middle School, everyone was celebrating wildly.
Facing Shanghai Datong Middle School, the seeded team in Group G, no one expected that they would steal the ball on their first try, and Lu Wenbin's first counterattack also successfully scored.
Scoring a goal in the first minute was a perfect start.
However, next, Meijiang Middle School will have to face the heavy bombardment from Datong Middle School.
Sure enough, after the restart, in the following time, Datong Middle School, which was humiliated by Lu Wenbin's goal and scolded by the coach, felt embarrassed and launched a fierce bombardment on Meijiang Middle School.
Although none of them is as strong as Lu Wenbin, each of them is stronger than players in other positions at Meijiang Middle School.
The result is that almost everyone can dribble past the opponent, pass the ball, and tear apart the defense, which greatly increases the pressure on the defense line of Meijiang Middle School.
Fortunately, Lu Wenbin's goal one minute into the game made the defense of Datong Middle School dare not act rashly and dare not press forward to participate in the attack.
Lu Wenbin alone attracted the attention of three or four opponents, making it impossible for Datong Middle School to attack with all its members.
Even so, the pressure faced by Meijiang Middle School is unprecedentedly great, much greater than facing Guiyang Experimental No. 3 Middle School in the provincial finals.
If Gu Zhengpeng and others hadn't been a little impatient and performed poorly, Datong Middle School should have been able to equalize the score before the end of the first half.
One of the balls hit the leg of the Meijiang Middle School defender who was blocking the gun hole and refracted. The goalkeeper Yu Yuanhang had already surrendered, but in the end the ball hit the goal post.
There was another ball as well. Another forward from Datong Middle School shot the ball back into the penalty area with Yu Yuanhang's fists and it landed right at Gu Zhengpeng's feet.
At that time, Gu Zhengpeng was only six or seven meters away from the goal, and he could score into the empty goal with just a slight push.
Perhaps he was too impatient, or perhaps he wanted to vent his frustration, so Gu Zhengpeng made a powerful shot. However, he missed the target and kicked the ball into the air, wasting a good opportunity to score an empty goal.
As for Meijiang Middle School, they only had a few counterattack opportunities in the entire first half, and most of them were blocked by the strong defenders of Datong Middle School. Lu Wenbin only got one chance to shoot.
Lu Wenbin was unlucky in that shot, and the goalkeeper of Datong Middle School surrendered, but the ball finally hit the crossbar and failed to go in.
Finally, at the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0, and Meijiang Middle School temporarily took the lead.
However, this score is quite dangerous.
If it weren't for the training from so many formal competitions from the county to the city to the province and then to the national finals, as well as the targeted defensive training before the game, the defense of Meijiang Middle School would have been blown up by Datong Middle School long ago.
Thanks to the 10-person bus defending, Meijiang Middle School was able to maintain the score of 1-0 until the end of the first half.
However, although the situation is dangerous, it is Meijiang Middle School that is leading now. Moreover, even if they are tied by Datong Middle School, they will still occupy the top spot in the standings with the advantage of goal difference and are still in a favorable position.
Therefore, it is impossible for Meijiang Middle School to give up its defensive tactics and take the initiative to attack, leaving gaps for the opponent.
Therefore, in the second half, Zhang Minghai only replaced a defender who had a yellow card. The others did not move and continued to stick to the tactics of defensive counterattack.
The result was not unexpected. There is no perfect defense in the world, let alone a high school team.
After all, the overall strength of Datong Middle School is far superior to that of Meijiang Middle School.
Even though the 10 players of Meijiang Middle School huddled in the backcourt to defend, they were unable to maintain the score of 1-0 until the end of the game.
In the 75th minute, Datong Middle School finally equalized the score with a powerful long shot from the edge of the penalty area. The goal was scored by Gu Zhengpeng.
After scoring the goal, Gu Zhengpeng looked at Lu Wenbin provocatively. However, Lu Wenbin did not look at him, but looked at the ball in the goal thoughtfully.
