On the court, the final had already started for more than 20 minutes, and Lu Wenbin had not taken a single shot.
This is quite rare in Lu Wenbin.
The reason is that, even though Lu Wenbin has just added two points to his dribbling attributes, the players at Dalian No. 48 Middle School are stronger than all the opponents Lu Wenbin has encountered before.
As long as someone commits a foul to delay time, the other players of the Dalian team will return to defense and form a good defense line. If four or five people block in front of Lu Wenbin, it will be difficult for Lu Wenbin to break through even if his dribbling ability improves.
Not only that, when Lu Wenbin's counterattack was curbed by the opponent's foul tactics, Meijiang Middle School's backcourt was also facing tremendous pressure.
Dalian No. 48 Middle School is much stronger than Meijiang Middle School, and two players from Dalian Shide Youth Team participated in the attack, making Bi Rui, Yu Yuanhang and others exhausted.
Finally, in the 26th minute, Meijiang Middle School's goal was lost.
A long shot from a midfielder from Dalian No. 48 Middle School was saved by Yu Yuanhang, but the ball fell at the feet of the opponent's No. 9 striker.
In the chaos in the penalty area, the opponent's No. 9 striker was the first to react. He kicked the ball and it rolled past Yu Yuanhang and into the goal.
In the 26th minute, Dalian No. 48 Middle School led Guizhou Province Meijiang Middle School 1-0. This was the first time that Meijiang Middle School lost the ball in the game and was at the lagging side.
After scoring the first goal, the players from Dalian No. 48 Middle School celebrated enthusiastically, while the players from Meijiang Middle School were a little frustrated.
After the opponent scored first, the rest of the game became a bit difficult for Meijiang Middle School.
Continuing to defend when trailing is meaningless, even if the next goal is not conceded, and you will still lose the game 0-1.
If the offense is strengthened, the defensive strength will decrease, which will give the opponent more space. What if they lose the ball again? I am afraid they will really lose the game.
In the next game, should they continue to defend or strengthen their offense to equalize the score? No one turned their attention to coach Zhang Minghai on the sidelines.
Zhang Minghai frowned and thought for a while, but he still didn't dare to let the team press forward, for fear of losing the ball again. Falling behind by two goals would almost certainly mean defeat.
However, seeing Dalian No. 48 Middle School's foul tactics against Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin really couldn't handle it alone.
The main reason was that everyone from Meijiang Middle School except Lu Wenbin was defending in the backcourt. In order to receive the ball, Lu Wenbin had to retreat to the center line.
Then, if the opponent commits a foul near the center line, the chance of getting a card is small and the threat of a free kick is not great.
But if a fulcrum could be added between Lu Wenbin and the back line, so that Lu Wenbin was always in the middle half of Dalian No. 48 and closer to the goal, the opponent might not dare to foul easily.
The reason is that the closer the referee is to the goal, the greater the chance of the offending player getting a card. In addition, the threat of a free kick is also higher.
Even if he couldn't score directly from a free kick, as long as he passed the ball into the penalty area, Lu Wenbin's jumping ability was enough to compete for headers with the opponent's tall defenders.
Even the guards of Dalian team who are over 1.8 meters tall may not be able to compete with Lu Wenbin who is 1.67 meters tall in terms of jumping ability.
After making the decision, Zhang Minghai waved to Xiang Youming, who was closer to him, to come to the sidelines, gave him a few instructions, and asked him to pass on the message to Han Dapeng, Lu Wenbin and others.
Next, after Meijiang Middle School kicked the ball in the center circle, the formation changed to 5311, and Han Dapeng became the fulcrum between Lu Wenbin and the back line.
As a forward, Han Dapeng’s defensive ability is not that good. He is just an extra man in the backcourt, and his contribution on defense is actually not that great.
Therefore, Han Dapeng is the only one suitable to be the fulcrum.
As for Dalian No. 48 Middle School, it continued to attack and did not switch to a defensive counterattack just because it was leading by one goal.
On the one hand, it is because their football is offensive football, and defense is not their specialty. Unlike Meijiang Middle School, they use almost the same tactics from the county to the national finals, and the back line has tacit cooperation.
On the other hand, the Dalian team cannot guarantee that Lu Wenbin will not score a goal or make an assist in the next game.
If Lu Wenbin scored a goal to tie the score and drag the game into overtime, it would definitely be bad news for Dalian No. 48 Middle School.
You know, the Dalian team played for the full 120 minutes in the quarter-finals and semi-finals to advance, and their physical fitness was much worse than that of Meijiang Middle School.
Therefore, the Dalian team's tactic is to continue attacking and score at least one more goal before they can start defending.
Now they are only leading by one goal, and they have to continue attacking.
The game continues.
With a fulcrum near the center line, Lu Wenbin was closer to the penalty area line and indeed received fewer intentional fouls.
Lu Wenbin's dribbling on 13/13 finally started to show its power.
In the 34th minute, Lu Wenbin took the ball and successfully dribbled past two players before being pulled to the ground by the opponent's last defender in front of the penalty area.
This deliberate foul, which clearly hindered the attack, resulted in the opposing defender receiving a yellow card.
Not only that, the next free kick from Nie Yingkun was also successfully headed by Lu Wenbin among the crowd in the penalty area.
Unfortunately, the ball went a little too high and flew over the crossbar. Otherwise, Meijiang Middle School might have equalized the score.
Next, the defender who had received the yellow card became a little hesitant and did not dare to commit a foul easily.
The other two also became a little cautious, fearing that they would commit a foul and give Lu Wenbin a chance to compete for the free kick.
As time passed, Dalian No. 48 Middle School's offense did not continue to score any goals, but Meijiang Middle School's counterattacks became more and more threatening.
In the 45th minute, when the first half was about to end, Lu Wenbin got another chance to counterattack.
After Han Dapeng received the ball cleared by his teammates in the backcourt, he quickly kicked it forward.
Although the pass was inaccurate, Lu Wenbin still used his speed to get the ball before the opponent's midfielder.
Then, Lu Wenbin kicked the ball with his heel and passed the midfielder.
Afterwards, facing the remaining two central defenders of the opponent, Lu Wenbin knocked one of the defenders to the ground with a series of dazzling bicycle kicks and quick spiking, and the other defender was also trapped by Lu Wenbin on the side of the body.
Lu Wenbin got a shooting angle at the front of the penalty area.
Seeing that Lu Wenbin was about to rush into the penalty area, the defender who was trapped by Lu Wenbin on the left side of the body quickly made a decision: foul.
