Chapter 660: Third place in the Confederations Cup

After deciding on the tactics, Lu Wenbin stood behind the corner cue and wiped the sweat from his face with his left hand.

The Italian players, fans, spectators, and commentators did not feel anything abnormal, but the players of the Chinese team were stunned for a moment, and then watched Lu Wenbin wipe the sweat with his left hand for the second time, and suddenly understood.

Because Lu Wenbin usually wipes sweat with his right hand, wiping sweat with his left hand is actually a code for Lu Wenbin not to shoot directly, but to cross.

The reason why everyone was stunned for a moment was simply because they had never used this tactic in the game.

Now that the game is about to end, it is time for Lu Wenbin to come out and turn the tide, but Lu Wenbin chose not to shoot directly, but to assist his teammates.

So everyone was a little stunned.

Fortunately, everyone has not forgotten what it means for Lu Wenbin to wipe the sweat with his left hand.

Suddenly, Wu Lei, Hao Junmin and other players all squeezed into the small forbidden area, making it look like they wanted to pick up the leak, but in fact, they made room for Feng Xiaoting outside the forbidden area.

Seeing the Chinese players squeezing into the small forbidden area, the Italian players naturally guarded strictly, and the players on both sides crowded the small forbidden area.

Gianluigi Buffon was also nervously on the goalline, with the two posts guarded by Italy's two tallest players, ready to jack the ball that Lu Wenbin might spin to the post.

The constant pulling in the small forbidden area made the referee blow the whistle twice and warn him, and then he couldn't control it, so he directly blew the whistle that Lu Wenbin could make free throws.

At this time, the game time had come to the 118th minute, and there were still 2 minutes of extra time to end.

Lu Wenbin ran two steps and kicked the ball.

The ball took to the air, arcing through the air and falling towards Italy's no-go zone.

Buffon always thought that Lu Wenbin would shoot directly, and the other Italian players thought the same way.

So, seeing the angle at which the ball was flying, Buffon began to retreat towards the far post. Because the ball looks too angled, even if it is screwed in, it should be the far post.

The Chinese players in the 'no-no' zone also ran to the far end, as if they wanted to pick up the leak at the far end, and ran to the far end of the 'small no-no' zone with the Italian players in the 'small no-no' zone, leaving a large gap near the penalty spot in the middle of the 'no-no' zone.

However, it was only after Buffon and the Italian players had run two steps that it suddenly became clear that the ball was no longer possible to spin into the goal.

The ball had already flown into the forbidden zone, and it was still so far away from the goal, how could it still spin into the goal?

The ball landed clearly in the 'Big Forbidden Zone' and they all missed it.

The Italian players who reacted hurriedly returned to the middle.

However, at this moment, Feng Xiaoting, who was still outside the forbidden area just now, had already rushed in, rushed to the penalty spot without interference, jumped up, and met Lu Wenbin's cross with a hard forehead.

The ball suddenly changed direction and flew towards the right goal.

Before Feng Xiaoting could reach the ball, Buffon and the Italian players were already aware of the danger.

Not only were the defenders in the middle of the defense, but the frightened Buffon also rushed back to the other side of the goal.

However, the speed of this ball is too fast, as a central defender, Feng Xiaoting's header skills are also good, and his header attack without interference is also very accurate, and there is no mistake.

The ball flew into the net from about half a metre from the right post and against the underside of the crossbar.

Gianluigi Buffon couldn't make a comeback, and Desiglio, who was standing at the right post, couldn't prevent the goal.

The ball flew into the Italian goal, as all Chinese expected.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Chinese fans in the entire stands shouted in unison. Thunderous applause rang out, and the New Water Source Stadium fell into a sea of red carnival.

On the commentary seat, the Chinese CCTV commentator also stood and shouted in the loudest voice:

"The ball went in ......"

"Lore, lore, this is a lore goal, Feng Xiaoting has made a meritorious service!"

"Fantastic assist from Lu Wenbin!"

"Lu Wenbin unexpectedly did not shoot directly from the corner, but passed to the forbidden area, and Feng Xiaoting scored with a header!"

"The Chinese team is leading Italy 2-1 again, and there is not much time left for Italy!"

Yes, time is running out for Italy.

The Chinese team celebrated frantically for more than half a minute before the referee intervened to return to their own half under the protest of the Italians, waiting for the Italian center circle to kick off.

But it was already 118 minutes when Feng Xiaoting scored, and the Chinese team celebrated for more than half a minute.

Even though the referee finally gave Italy 2 minutes of stoppage time, Italy still failed to score the equalizer and equalize in the 89th minute of the regular season when the Chinese team put the bus in full force.

Two minutes into stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Chinese team defeated Italy 2-1 in the third and fourth place finals with Feng Xiaoting's goal in the 118th minute of extra time and won the third place in the 2013 Confederations Cup.

As a result, the Chinese team surpassed South Korea and created a new best result for Asian men's football in the world competition.

This is the unprecedented glory and peak of Chinese football.

Whether it was at the scene, in China, or even around the world, countless overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese who watched the live broadcast broke out into enthusiastic cheers, screams, and roars, venting the excitement in everyone's hearts.

The commentators shouted over and over again that the Chinese team won and the Chinese team was the third runner-up; The spectators in the stands frantically hugged and celebrated with the people around them, regardless of whether the other party was male or female; The audience in front of the TV screamed and screamed, regardless of whether it would wake up their families and neighbors; Some people also brought out fireworks and firecrackers that had been prepared for a long time and set off to celebrate.

The substitute players, coaches, team doctors, etc. of the Chinese team on the sidelines also rushed into the field in an instant and celebrated wildly with Lu Wenbin and others on the field.

The Italians felt a little depressed, but not too sad either. After all, they don't take the third place itself very seriously.

Pirlo also approached Lu Wenbin, congratulated him and exchanged jerseys.

The Chinese team and the fans celebrated and interacted in the stadium for half an hour, and the Italian team and other spectators were finished before the Chinese team and fans left the stadium under the reminder of the stadium administrator.

On the same day, the Chinese media carried out crazy reports and praised the national football team for winning the third place in the Confederations Cup.

Except for Lu Wenbin, other national football players can be said to have reached the peak of their careers.

The third place in the Confederations Cup this time is enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

The next day, the final of the Confederations Cup was held, and Brazil, who were playing at home, defeated Spain 3-0 to win the Confederations Cup.

The 2013 Confederations Cup came to an end, and the host, five-star Brazil, won the championship, which was not too surprising, and the Chinese team defeated Italy to win the third place, which was an upset.

Although Lu Wenbin did not score the most goals to win the Golden Boot of this Confederations Cup, nor was he named the best player of the tournament, Lu Wenbin was satisfied.

Being able to defeat Italy and win the third place is already a reward under various coincidences.

Next, let's look at next year's World Cup, the real world's No. 1 event, where the Chinese team can go!
