Once France wins, China, the favourite to win the Asian Cup, will probably qualify for France and go home after the group stage.
This theory is a great blow to Lu Wenbin personally and to China fans who have just become enthusiastic because of Lu Wenbin’s Golden Globe Award.
China’s final match against Uzbekistan has turned into a life-and-death battle for a monthly ticket.
Chapter 432 Being ordered in a crisis
China lost the game and faced a life-and-death battle in the final round of the group stage, which made Lu Wenbin feel a little bad.
Well, on the same day, the Italian Cup 1 final was played, and Inter Milan beat Genoa 32 to advance, giving Lu Wenbin the treble, hoping to make him feel a little better.
Then Lu Wenbin will actively cooperate with the team doctor for treatment and try to play in the third round group match after four days of cold recovery.
On January 15th, the second round of Serie A, Inter Milan beat Bologna 41 times at home and continued to maintain the leading position in the league standings.
Of course, for the China media and fans, how can everyone pay attention to Inter Milan now? Everyone is worried about Lu Wenbin’s illness. Can he qualify for the next day’s match between China and Uzbekistan?
The media and the internet are full of speculation about Lu Wenbin’s illness, but they can’t get an accurate statement.
On January 16th, Gao Hongbo announced Lu Wenbin’s illness at the pre-match press conference, saying that Lu Wenbin had recovered and would definitely be able to participate in the competition, which made China media and fans feel relieved.
But actually Lu Wenbin has not recovered from his cold.
Because for athletes, they can’t take medicine during the competition. If they are found to be doping, they will be disqualified or banned.
Although FIFA often plays the devil’s advocate with the International Anti-Doping Agency of the International Olympic Committee because of its great power, it is hard to guarantee that China’s opponents will not report it, which will lead to an investigation by the Anti-Doping Agency.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin can survive on his own self-healing ability and physical therapy of the team doctor.
It’s too short, less than a week, and Lu Wenbin hasn’t healed himself yet.
However, it’s much better than the first two days. It’s also possible to force a game.
However, the coaching staff finally discussed whether to let Lu Wenbin start or let him sit on the bench to watch the game.
If Lu Wenbin’s cold is still not over, he will play for 9 minutes in the first round, even if he wins the game in the end, it may aggravate Lu Wenbin’s illness and he will not be able to pass the knockout round.
Therefore, it is better to let his players fight for one thousand and win first, and naturally everyone will be happy, but Lu Wenbin will not come off the bench again.

That way, Lu Wenbin should be able to recover from a cold before the knockout even if he is promoted.
So on January 16th, at 19:15 in the evening, China vs Uzbekistan played in the most round of the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup A, and Lu Wenbin did not make his debut, but sat on the bench, which disappointed many commentators and China fans.
Because this game is a must for China to win and Uzbekistan has to draw to ensure the first place in the group.
Therefore, this determines the strategic thinking of the two teams in this game. China must attack Uzbekistan and shrink its defense to wait for an opportunity to fight back.
China changed to 4-4-2, withdrawing a central defender and a striker, playing double striker Lu Wenbin, and the other two strikers Yang Xu and Gao Lin.
The players of China, who were cornered, played well in this game. Instead of being bombarded by Qatar like the second group match, they scored first.
Of course, Uzbekistan is not the host, and there is no extra care from the referee
In the 6th minute, China team got a corner kick. Hao Junmin sent a corner kick and grabbed the first point before the sea.
The goal was to go straight to the goalkeeper’s arms, but the ball was eager to clear the opponent’s back. The goalkeeper Stroff was caught off guard and could not see the ball into the net.
China scored a lead in the opening record, and all the coaches and players were ecstatic.
Lu Wenbin rushed out of the bench and applauded. The players also celebrated in a circle and shouted "Come on".
The game continues.
China’s physical strength is worse than Uzbekistan’s. In history, the two sides played against each other twice, and China lost five times. This time, Gao Hongbo brought training for the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil in 2014, and most of them were young people.
Plus five defenders are even more unstable after withdrawing one person.
So in the third minute, Uzbekistan scored a goal to equalize the score by tearing open China’s defense line with a subtle cooperation in the frontcourt.
Then neither side scored again and entered the halftime with 11 points.
In fact, the China team still has the opportunity to exceed the score at halftime, but Yang Xu and Gao Lin can’t grasp the opportunity as Lu Wenbin missed several goals.
The shot opportunity in the forbidden area closest to the goal was hit by Gao Lin and the bottom line popped up. Unfortunately, many China fans lamented at the scene and in front of the camera.
Lu Wenbin also watched anxiously.
At halftime, Lu Wenbin volunteered to play, but Gao Hongbo didn’t approve him to wait and see the development of the situation at halftime.
As a result, Uzbekistan scored a flash goal just three seconds after the half-time.
Uzbekistan striker Heinsili suddenly took a long-range shot outside the forbidden area, bypassing goalkeeper Yang Zhi and hanging his fingers straight to the dead corner.
Uzbekistan overtook the score by 21, and China was cornered.
Lu Wenbin immediately said to Gao Hongbo, "It’s no problem for me to go to my body with high guidance."
Gao Hongbo looked at the team doctor. The team doctor frowned and said, "Lu Wenbin has no problem after playing half-time, but I’m not sure if it will aggravate his cold."
Lu Wenbin, alas, was in a hurry. "At this time, we still care so much. If we don’t win this game, we will go home. What’s the difference if we get over a cold?"
Gao Hongbo looked dignified and asked, "Lu Wenbin, are you sure you can persist in playing for 45 minutes?"
