In this semi-final with Brazil, Lu Wenbin had no assists, no goals, the team did not win, and did not enter the final.

Therefore, after the game, Lu Wenbin had no experience at all, let alone the task of entering the finals and winning the championship.

Before the start of the game, Lu Wenbin also dreamed of winning, advancing to the finals, obtaining task rewards, and upgrading his free kick skills to the master level!

It now appears that the free kick upgrade has to wait.

After the game, because the Chinese team did not enter the finals, Lu Wenbin did not even have the qualifications to compete for the championship.

Lu Wenbin’s entire career, the undefeated golden figure that could win the championship as long as he participated, finally broke in this year’s Confederations Cup.

After the game, the global media reported on Lu Wenbin’s Chinese team that stopped in the semi-finals. Of course, the point is that Lu Wenbin’s record of winning the championship as long as he participates is gone.

“The Confederations Cup semi-finals, the Chinese team lost 1-3 to host Brazil, Lu Wenbin’s record of winning the championship is over! 》

“The strength of the Chinese team is weak, and Lu Wenbin can hardly support it alone. China has lost the opportunity to compete for the Confederations Cup! 》

“Lu Wenbin finally did not pervert to the point where he resisted the Brazilian team alone. 》

The defeat of the Chinese team can be regarded as reassuring many people who are suspicious and surprised by Lu Wenbin’s abnormality.

With the strength of the current players of the Chinese team, even if led by Lu Wenbin, it is not normal to defeat the Brazilian team.

Losing to the Brazilian team, Lu Wenbin’s record of winning by participating in the competition was suspended, and everyone was relieved.

The next day, on June 28, Spain defeated Italy 7-6 in a penalty shootout, and will compete with Brazil for the trophy of the Confederations Cup.

Although the semi-finals were lost, the Chinese team could not go home because they had to participate in three or four finals.

The match time for the three or four finalists is June 30th, and the time for the finals is July 1st.

One thing that is more favorable to China is that the semi-final of the Chinese team was played on June 27, while the semi-final of Italy was played on June 28.

The Chinese team had one more day off than the Italian team, and Italy had to play three or four finals after just one day off.

Moreover, in terms of mentality, even if it is a three or four finals, the Chinese team will definitely do their best to fight.

For China, third place and third place are completely different concepts.

In the history of the World Series, South Korea once relied on referees to help against the favorable circumstances of the home game, and won the fourth place in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.

This is the best result of Asian football (men’s football) in the World Series. Regardless of whether everyone recognizes it or not, despises it or not, it is the result.

Although the Confederations Cup is not as authoritative and hotly debated as the World Cup, it is indeed a top world competition.

If the Chinese team can get third place, it can surpass South Korea’s best results in the World Series and create a new height for the Asian team in the World Series.

Therefore, for this three or four finals, the Chinese team up and down will still play it as the final.

For Italy, the degree of importance is different.

As the team with the second largest number of World Cup wins, Italy’s goal to participate in the Confederations Cup is naturally the championship.

Now that the semi-finals have been lost, they have not entered the finals and cannot compete for the championship. Even if they fail to succeed, the players naturally have no interest in competing for third place.

Even on the court, the emphasis on the game is far from the Chinese team.

In terms of physical fitness and game mentality, Italy cannot be compared with China.

The only thing stronger than the Chinese team may be that their technical and tactical strength is stronger than that of the Chinese team, but their physical fitness and game mentality will definitely affect their on-the-spot performance.

Under such circumstances, it is entirely possible for the Chinese team to beat Italy upset and win third place. No matter how small the odds are, there is always a certain chance.

On June 30, the new water source stadium in El Salvador was full, and most of the seats were occupied by Chinese fans and overseas Chinese.

Being able to qualify in the Confederations Cup group stage, although the semi-finals fell into the sand and failed to enter the finals, it also aroused the enthusiasm of countless fans in China.

Many people came from China temporarily, just in time for the three or four finalists.

Anyway, Italy from the team to the fans are not interested in the three or four finals, just so that most of the fans have bought tickets to enter the stadium to cheer for the national football on the spot.

The Xinshuiyuan Stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 spectators, has nearly 40,000 fans of the Chinese team, and the audience is red.

Chinese fans have turned the Xinshuiyuan Stadium into their home stadium. There are probably only a few thousand Italian fans, and the rest are local citizens and fans from other places rushing to see Lu Wenbin.

At 16:00 local time, with the referee’s whistle, the three and four finals of the 2013 Confederations Cup between China and Italy officially started.

Chinese team formation 4231, lineup goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders Rong Hao, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Peng, Zhang Linpeng, defensive midfielders Lu Wenbin, Wang Yongpo, midfielder Yu Hai, Hao Junmin, forward midfielder Deng Zhuoxiang, forward Wu Lei.

Italian formation 433, goalkeeper Buffon, defenders Maggio, Astori, Chiellini, De Silio, midfielders Candreva, De Rossi, Montolivo, forwards Saravi, Gilardino Diamanti.

In the Italian team, Barzagli, Bonucci, Pirlo, Balotelli and other major players did not play without any illness or injury. From the list of appearances, it can be seen that the Italian team is absent-minded.

After the game began, Italy did not shrink the defense, ignored their defensive advantages, and directly used the kick-off right to attack the Chinese team.

However, before reaching the restricted area of ​​the Chinese team, De Rossi’s through ball passed to Gilardino was intercepted by Lu Wenbin.

De Rossi slightly underestimated Lu Wenbin’s defensive position [] ability After all, he was just watching game videos or post-match news introductions. De Rossi has not had a face-to-face intuitive experience of Lu Wenbin’s defensive ability.

Now he felt it.

However, De Rossi did not care, and the Italian team did not care too much.

Lu Wenbin’s offensive and defensive versatility is well known, and it didn’t just pop up today. Since Lu Wenbin is so good, everyone just bypasses him when he breaks through and passes the ball.

In the hearts of the Italian team, they did not think that the Chinese team could cause them any trouble. After all, they were entangled with Spain until the penalty shootout was defeated, and Spain played the Chinese team 4-1.

Although less emphasis is placed on the three or four finals, it does not mean that the Italians want to give up the third place.

They rotated the main force, opened the posture to attack and so on, just out of contempt for the Chinese team, thinking that they can defeat the Chinese team casually.
