In the 70th minute, Lu Wenbin once again scored a free kick to give the Chinese team a 2-0 lead.
Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV were all celebrating.
When we are leading by two goals, everyone feels much more secure than when we are only leading by one goal.
With Lu Wenbin at the back and involved in defense, this score can be said to be a sure thing.
After the game resumed, Uruguay naturally pressed forward and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team.
At this point they no longer cared whether the Chinese team would counterattack or not.
But under the coordination and command of Lu Wenbin, the Chinese team's defense line made almost no mistakes.
In the 76th minute, Gargano broke through the wing and cut inside to shoot, but Zhang Linpeng blocked the shot and the ball went out of the baseline.
In the subsequent corner attack, Uruguay didn't even get the ball before Zhao Peng headed it out from the penalty area.
In the 80th minute, Uruguay's massive attack gave China another chance to counterattack.
Lu Wenbin's long pass of more than 40 meters penetrated Uruguay's entire midfield and backcourt like a scalpel and rolled towards Uruguay's penalty area.
Wu Lei successfully made an offside move and caught up with Lu Wenbin's through ball at the top of the penalty area, then made a lob shot facing the attacking goalkeeper Silva.
As a result, the ball was a little too high and went over the crossbar and landed on the top net.
Wu Lei missed a goal that would have sealed the victory for the Chinese team.
As time went by, the Uruguayan team became more and more impatient, and attacked the Chinese team almost without paying attention to defense.
Finally, in the 88th minute, Uruguay avoided Lu Wenbin's central defense, broke through from the wing and made a cross. Suarez received the ball at the top of the penalty area, and then used his personal ability to take a long shot outside the penalty area and scored a point.
But this only earned one point, and Uruguay still trailed China 1-2.
In the next few minutes, Uruguay wanted to continue attacking and score another goal to equalize the score.
But the Chinese team began to make substitutions, replacing Wu Lei and Yu Hai, adding a defensive midfielder and a midfielder, increasing defense, and the entire team contracted to defend.
With the whole team defending tightly and Lu Wenbin directing the game, Uruguay did not score a second goal until the end of the game.
After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The Chinese team defeated South American powerhouse Uruguay 2-1 in the third round of the 2013 Confederations Cup group stage, achieving the first victory of the Chinese men's national football team in an international competition.
The CCTV commentator excitedly explained to the audience:
"The game is over, the game is over, the Chinese team defeated Uruguay 2-1 and won its first victory in the Confederations Cup."
"Another game is over. Spain did not let down the defense and won 3-0 against Nigeria as expected."
"Thus, the Chinese team won one, drew one and lost one in three group matches, accumulating four points, ranking second after Spain with nine points, and advancing ahead of Uruguay with three points and Nigeria with one point."
"The Chinese men's football team not only scored its first goal and won its first victory in a world championship, but also advanced to the knockout stage after qualifying from the group stage."
"This is a new history and a new chapter for Chinese football. Let us cheer and celebrate!"
All the Chinese audiences at the scene and in front of the TV were also very happy and celebrated wildly and excitedly.
However, the Chinese players on the field just raised their hands and cheered, then rushed back to the sidelines to ask the coaching staff about Zheng Zhi's situation.
Fortunately, after preliminary diagnosis, it was not the serious injury that Lu Wenbin worried would ruin his career. He only needed to rest for half a month to a month.
It's still worrying, but at least his career wasn't ruined.
Only then could Lu Wenbin and others celebrate boldly and interact with the fans who had come from afar to watch the game.
South America is the continent farthest from China, so those fans who come from China can really be said to have traveled thousands of miles.
Lu Wenbin and others won prize money, fame, and advertising endorsements when they won the game, but these fans had nothing. Instead, they had to pay for themselves to watch the game and cheer for Lu Wenbin and others.
What they are waiting for is the Chinese national football team's first victory in an international competition and its first qualification for the group stage.
Now, Lu Wenbin has led his teammates to do it.
Everyone can celebrate and cheer to their heart's content without having to worry about the fans' scolding.
After the game, the Chinese media naturally celebrated and reported the Chinese national football team's first victory in an international competition and its first appearance in the knockout stage.
Foreign media also congratulated the Chinese team on its victory, but expressed pessimism about the team's future.
It is so difficult to beat Uruguay, so there is no way the Chinese team will make it to the semi-finals.
Even if we managed to get through, we would definitely not win the final.
Spain and China advanced from Group B, while Brazil and Italy advanced from Group A. Among the four teams, China is undoubtedly the weakest.
Referring to the group stage match where Spain defeated China 4-1, China's semi-final against Group A's first and host Brazil is a hopeless situation with almost no chance of winning.
From strength to home atmosphere, the Brazilian team, as the host, has an all-round advantage.
The Chinese team may only be able to play in the semi-finals for the purpose of gaining experience.
The Chinese team naturally knows their situation. Lu Wenbin also said in an interview that it was a surprise to be able to qualify from the group stage. In the semi-finals, he will take his teammates to fight Brazil for real, accumulate experience in competing against strong teams in the world, and prepare for next year's World Cup.
As for winning
Lu Wenbin didn't even consider that possibility.
In fact, how could it not be considered
Lu Wenbin even considered how to celebrate winning the championship, but it was just something he could only think about in his mind.
It's just like those who work in literature dream of the Nobel Prize or those who work in film dream of the Oscar Prize. If you don't have the ability, you can only think about it, you can't say it.
The Chinese team can only try their best in the game, whether they can pull off an upset depends on luck.
As for Lu Wenbin, he gained a lot.
First of all, in terms of single-game rewards, Lu Wenbin received 1 million for scoring a goal in the Confederations Cup group stage + 2 million for winning, for a total of 3 million in single-game experience rewards.
Then there is the reward for leading the Chinese national football team to its first international victory, which is 1 million experience points + 10 skill points.
Finally, there is the reward for leading the Chinese national football team to qualify for the Confederations Cup group stage, and also a reward of 2 million experience points + 20 skill points.
In this way, Lu Wenbin's system experience has risen to level 20 33.881 million/50 million, and the balance of skill points has reached 90.
If we can win the semi-final against Brazil, we will be rewarded with 50 skill points, which will make us rich overnight.
By then, Lu Wenbin will be able to upgrade his free kick to grandmaster level.
Of course, that's just thought.
Lu Wenbin himself has no confidence that the Chinese team can defeat Brazil in the semi-finals and advance to the finals.
