Positional warfare is not what the Chinese team is good at.

Since Lu Wenbin joined the national football team, whether playing as a striker or a striker, the Chinese team's tactics have always been defensive counterattacks.

If Lu Wenbin continues to play in the front midfield, it may be better.

But now facing Uruguay, a South American powerhouse, Lu Wenbin must stick to the back position to prevent Uruguay's defensive counterattack.

The Chinese team must first stabilize their defense before they can talk about attacking or winning.

Without Lu Wenbin in the frontcourt, the offensive efficiency of the Chinese team is even lower.

In the 8th minute, Lu Wenbin's long pass found Hao Junmin on the side, but Hao Junmin stopped the ball too much, and the ball was directly intercepted by the defender.

However, Uruguay's counterattack did not start, and in the midfield, Lu Wenbin and Wang Yongpo were forced to make a passing error and lose the ball.

In the 15th minute, Lu Wenbin launched an attack and passed the ball to find Zheng Zhi in the gap.

If Zheng Zhi's vision is better, he should be able to see Yu Hai in the gap, and Yu Hai can cut inside to form a shot after receiving the ball.

But Zheng Zhi didn't see Yu Hai's gap, and passed the ball back to Lu Wenbin, Yu Hai did useless work in the anti-offside position on the side, wasting an offensive opportunity in vain.

This is the limitation brought about by the difference in vision, although Zheng Zhi is a good player, he is still far from Lu Wenbin.

In the Chinese team's attack, Uruguay also occasionally counterattacked.

However, Lu Wenbin has been sticking to the back, and Uruguay have not been able to form an attack in the middle, although there were two shots on goal, but neither of them hit the woodwork.

Half an hour passed, the two sides were still tied, the Chinese team failed to seize the offensive opportunity organized by Lu Wenbin, and Uruguay's counterattack also disappeared under Lu Wenbin's organized defense, and the two sides were evenly matched.

But no one moved.

Uruguay are not afraid of a draw, and they have the best chance of qualifying in the event of a draw, unless Nigeria beat Spain by a big score.

Therefore, Uruguay is in no hurry.

The Chinese team, especially Lu Wenbin, did not dare to act rashly.

Lu Wenbin was afraid that as soon as his position was advanced, Uruguay would quickly launch an onslaught like Nigeria and break down the Chinese team's backline.

As a South American team, Uruguay's attack could be even sharper and deadlier than Nigeria's. It's just that now because Lu Wenbin is nailed to the back position, Uruguay has not made any contributions.

If Lu Wenbin's position had been advanced to the front midfield, Uruguay might have scored before he could score.

Therefore, Lu Wenbin can only continue to defend in the backfield and slowly organize the attack.

Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team finally seized a chance.

In the 38th minute, Lu Wenbin controlled the ball near the center circle, and observed the situation in the front court while holding Uruguayan striker Lodeiro behind him with his hand.

Although Uruguay is defending and counterattacking, others may not come forward to defend with the ball in the midfield, but as long as Lu Wenbin gets the ball, even if the back and defenders are far away, the strikers will come up to interfere, and it is impossible for Lu Wenbin to organize the attack comfortably.

However, Lu Wenbin's ball control skills are too good, Lodeiro is impossible to grab alone, and Suarez, the No. 9 striker who plays for Liverpool in the Premier League nearby, has already run over, ready to break the ball with Lodeirlo.

Lu Wenbin naturally won't wait for Suarez to run into place.

Although these two are both forwards and their tackling skills are not very good, the scramble of the two may make Lu Wenbin lose the ball.

Even if he doesn't concede the ball, it may affect the quality of his passing.

Anyway, Lu Wenbin has already seen the gap and the running position of his teammates, and he can launch an attack.

Lu Wenbin's eyes were staring at Hao Junmin who was inserted forward on the right side, causing the Uruguayan defensive formation to move a little towards Hao Junmin.

Then, before Suarez could post it, Lu Wenbin passed the ball out with a long pass.

Uruguayans thought that Lu Wenbin was going to pass it on to Hao Junmin, and Lu Wenbin's eyes were indeed looking at Hao Junmin.

As a result, the ball flew up and went straight to the bottom line on the left wing: Lu Wenbin used Ronaldinho-style sound to hit the ball to the west.

This caught all the players of the Uruguayan defence off guard.

Seeing the ball flying to the left, everyone turned their heads to see that Yu Hai didn't know when he ran there.

Now that Uruguay's left side of the defense is empty, Yu Hai calmly unloaded Lu Wenbin's long pass, and then cut inside with the ball to the forbidden area.

The frightened Uruguayan left-back Scottie quickly turned his head and rushed over to block Yu Hai.

Wu Lei rushed to the goal at full speed from outside the forbidden area, ready to grab a point in front of the goal, causing the Uruguayan defense to retreat collectively, wanting to intercept the ball passed to Wu Lei by Yu Hai.

Before Scotty could get closer, Yu Hai slotted into the 'Big Forbidden Zone' and kicked the ball off the line outside the 'Small Forbidden Zone' zone.

Scotty jumped up to block the gun's eye, but nothing was touched: the ball didn't fly.

While Wu Lei led the two central defenders into the forbidden area, Zheng Zhi behind him was unguarded.

Yu Hai did not cross the ball high and let Wu Lei compete for the header, but passed a low flat ball with an inverted triangle and passed it to the penalty spot.

Zheng Zhi rushed up from behind, volleyed directly without stopping the ball, and pumped the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal.

Aguirregale, the central defender with Wu Lei, turned and fell to the ground to tackle, but failed to touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Silva made a leap of effort but couldn't touch the ball.

The ball passed past Silva's fingertips and into the goal against the right post, and China 1-0 Uruguay.

The Chinese commentator in the commentary seat shouted:

"The ball went in, the ......"

"Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi has scored!"

"33-year-old Zheng Zhi scored in the Confederations Cup!"

"From Lu Wenbin's striking, Yu Hai easily received the ball on the side and cut inside, and then passed the ball to Zheng Zhi in an inverted triangle, and Zheng Zhi volleyed without stopping!"

"Most of the credit for this goal came from Lu Wenbin, whose long ball completely deceived the Uruguayan backline!"

"Lu Wenbin's vision and passing skills are better than Barcelona's Xavi!"

In the stands, in front of the television, countless Chinese fans erupted in warm applause and cheers and screams.

This is the first time that the Chinese team has been in the lead in the Confederations Cup.

Zheng Zhi is the oldest player in the Chinese team, and if it weren't for his rich experience and physical fitness, he would definitely not be selected according to the current age structure of the Chinese team.

The point is that head coach Gao Hongbo doesn't want to see him either.

It was only because of Lu Wenbin's suggestion that he was able to continue to be selected for the national team and participate in the Confederations Cup with the team.

Although Zheng Zhi has a lot of black jokes among Chinese fans, Lu Wenbin still believes that Zheng Zhi should be one of the top players in China at the moment.

Even if he is a little older, Zheng Zhi is very self-disciplined and has always maintained good physical fitness, and the Chinese team also needs his experience.

Now, Lu's suggestion has paid off.

With him having to defend the backfield to prevent his opponent from counterattacking, Zheng Zhi finally scored a goal for China to lead Uruguay.

The Chinese team is immediately in a better position than Uruguay.
