Seven-time Champion

Chapter 72: Advance to the quarterfinals

Views:

After Meijiang Middle School led Lijiang No. 1 Middle School 2-0, although Lijiang No. 1 Middle School tried desperately to score a goal to equalize the score in the remaining time, it was of no avail.

On the one hand, they had to defend against Lu Wenbin's personal breakthroughs and his passing and assists. On the other hand, their physical fitness really couldn't keep up.

A combination of various factors resulted in their lack of offensive quality and inability to score goals.

Of course, Lu Wenbin was also unlucky and failed to score a goal in the last ten minutes.

After 90 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Meijiang Middle School of Guizhou Province defeated Lijiang No. 1 Middle School of Yunnan Province 2-0 in the 1/8 finals, winning this high-altitude derby at the amateur level for high school students and advancing to the quarterfinals.

This is the first time that a Guizhou team has advanced to the top eight of the national high school finals. Meijiang Middle School has achieved the best result for a Guizhou team.

As soon as the game ended, the coaches and players of Meijiang Middle School rushed into the field, as did the logistics staff from the Meitan County Education Bureau and the Culture and Sports Bureau. Everyone celebrated happily.

Lu Wenbin did not score a goal in this game and only got two assists.

After the game, Lu Wenbin received two assists of 40 points and 80 points for winning, a total of 120 experience points for the single game. His level experience rose to level 6 812/1000, and he was less than 200 experience points away from upgrading.

The coaches and players of Meijiang Middle School on the field were celebrating to their heart's content, and the scouts on the sidelines were also very satisfied.

Although Lu Wenbin did not score a goal in this game, his two assists are more worthy of their attention than two goals in the eyes of professional scouts on the sidelines.

There is no doubt about Lu Wenbin's personal goal-scoring ability as he scored 9 goals in three group matches.

However, modern football has increasingly higher requirements on players' abilities. Many teams have reduced their first-team rosters, which requires players to be versatile.

The central defender must be able to play on the wing or in the middle, as well as compete for headers in set pieces, and preferably also be able to play as a defensive midfielder.

Full-backs have to both defend and assist, and full-backs like Roberto Carlos are the most popular.

A defensive midfielder must be able to both defend and attack, and it would be best if he has organizational skills.

The attacking midfielder not only needs to organize the attack, but also needs to be able to break through and score goals.

A winger should be able to cross the ball, cut inside and shoot, and it would be best if he could play on both sides.

It is no longer popular for a forward to just stand in the frontcourt waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him so that he can shoot and score.

A modern forward must be able to stand still, run, pull, break through, receive support, and assist, and preferably also be able to press and steal the ball in the frontcourt.

In other words, as a forward, it is also best to have decent defensive skills.

Of course, there are not many players in the top leagues who truly meet all the above requirements perfectly, let alone in the lower leagues.

Therefore, for an ordinary professional player, as long as he has two or three outstanding skills, he can be considered very good.

Previously, Lu Wenbin was able to break through and shoot and score. He scored 9 goals in three group matches. His most important scoring ability as a striker was already very good.

However, it was indeed a bit ugly that he didn't have a single assist in three group matches, which made everyone think that Lu Wenbin's overall view was problematic. Even if he was recruited into the team, it might be detrimental to the unity of his teammates in the future.

But in today's game, the second half of the game dispelled everyone's concerns.

It turns out that Lu Wenbin can also assist. Moreover, his vision and passing and assisting abilities are as outstanding as his scoring abilities.

Being able to assist and score twice in a game is proof of this.

Every club wants such a player.

Even Dietmar Hopp, the owner of a German second division club and a wealthy man, was attracted by Lu Wenbin.

Although Lu Wenbin's strength is certainly not up to the level of China's top players, Lu Wenbin's advantage is that he is young and has not received professional training.

As long as Lu Wenbin is brought to Hoffenheim and undergoes two years of professional training, there will be no problem in him being able to meet the requirements of the German Second Division or even the Bundesliga.

The key is that Lu Wenbin is still an amateur high school player and does not belong to any club, so he does not require a transfer fee.

Of course, not everyone can enter the German second division club. Even the Chinese Super League players are not favored by Hope, let alone a Chinese high school student.

Therefore, even though Hope was moved, he did not go to find Lu Wenbin right away. He felt that he needed to observe for a while.

In addition to personal abilities, Hope also needs to observe Lu Wenbin's leadership, team influence, etc.

If Lu Wenbin has the ability to lead the obviously weak Meijiang Middle School into the finals and eventually win the championship, then he can take Lu Wenbin to Germany without hesitation.

As for the Chinese club scouts on the sidelines, Hope was not worried at all.

Through Fu Qingqing's introduction, Hope already knew the appeal of the European league to young Chinese players.

As long as Hoffenheim comes forward, even if the Chinese Super League club comes, it will be useless, and it will definitely not be as attractive to Lu Wenbin as the German Second Division team.

If Lu Wenbin really made the decision to join a domestic Chinese club before reaching the final, then Hope wouldn't care.

A player who can't even win the Chinese campus league championship is not worthy of billionaire Dietmar Hopp lowering his status to invite him.

Everything depends on Lu Wenbin’s performance next!

Of course, Hope didn't know that all these ideas of his were made under the influence of Lu Wenbin's football championship system.

The reward given to Lu Wenbin by the system determines that Lu Wenbin will only get the opportunity to sign with Hoffenheim if he wins the championship.

Before this, no matter how satisfied Hope was with Lu Wenbin, he would not make the decision to bring Lu Wenbin in.

Naturally, Lu Wenbin would not accept invitations from domestic clubs.

After this game, Lu Wenbin actually received an invitation from a China League Two club. However, Lu Wenbin naturally refused without hesitation.

That afternoon, all eight 1/8 finals were concluded and the top eight teams of the 2007 China High School Football League National Finals were announced.

Except for Meijiang Middle School in Guizhou Province and Yanbian No. 1 Middle School in Jilin Province, the other six teams that entered the quarterfinals are all seeded teams and are quite popular.

Therefore, the next four quarter-finals will all be held at the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center on the morning and evening of August 20 and 21, making it convenient for spectators who are interested in these games to enter and watch the games.

At the same time, it is also convenient for local TV sports channels to broadcast every game live.
