Seven Crowns

Lu Wenbin did not feel complacent because of the praise on TV, nor did he feel indignant because of the doubts and abuses of some netizens.

He understands his goal: not winning the championship, not getting the signing of European clubs, everything is empty talk.

Others can start slowly from the domestic league, but he is 17 years old. Some players have played in the top European leagues at the age of 16. He can't afford to delay, and he doesn't want to waste time along the promotion route of China Second Division, China First Division, China Super League, and European second-tier leagues.

To be able to win the championship, to do it in one step, to sign a contract to play in Europe, is the best career development path.

It is gratifying that Meijiang Middle School currently has no problems in qualifying for the group, but there will be a knockout round in the future, the team facing it will become stronger and stronger, and it will become more and more difficult to advance.

Thinking of the challenges he will face, Lu Wenbin dare not get carried away.

Fortunately, after so many regular competitions and intentional physical training by the coaches and team doctors, the overall strength of Meijiang Middle School has not been what it used to be.

The current Meijiang Middle School, even without Lu Wenbin, can go to fight against a team like Maotai Children's School.

Coupled with Lu Wenbin's personal strength, winning the championship is not really hopeless.

There are Danish fairy tales and Greek myths in the European Cup. The Chinese high school league may not be able to produce the dark horse miracle belonging to Meijiang Middle School.

After the second round of the group stage, all teams had another day off before starting the third round of the group stage on August 15.

On the morning of August 15, the first game of the third round of Group G was Meijiang Middle School VS Xining No.1 Middle School.

In this game, Zhang Minghai changed several main players. In addition to Lu Wenbin, only Xiang Youming remained in the frontcourt, Han Dapeng and Nie Yingkun were both replaced.

There were also two substitutes on the back line to give the main defender a break.

The average density of one game for two days in the group stage is very physical for these non-professional high school students.

After two consecutive victories in the first two games, Meijiang Middle School has actually qualified ahead of schedule, and almost locked the first place in the group.

In the last game, unless Meijiang Middle School loses by a big score, and another game is decided by a big score, a team can win the game if the goal difference exceeds Meijiang Middle School with the same score as Meijiang Middle School. Take the first group of Meijiang Middle School.

If Meijiang Middle School can get a draw, it will lock the first place in the group with 7 points. No matter what happens to Datong Middle School and Baogang No. 1 Middle School, it will not threaten their ranking.

Therefore, in the last game, Zhang Minghai deliberately chose some substitute lineups to give the main lineup a certain rest.

As a result of this half-main and half-substitute lineup, Meijiang Middle School had a hard time playing in the last game.

Although Xining No. 1 Middle School has already been eliminated early, they obviously do not want to go home with zero points after three complete defeats. In the last game, facing Meijiang Middle School, which had already qualified ahead of schedule, they still hoped to win a victory and retain a little dignity.

In addition, Meijiang Middle School did not complete the main force, but replaced some substitutes, which gave Xining No. 1 Middle School hope, with high morale and hard work.

However, even so, under the increasingly proficient and tacitly coordinated bus tactics of Meijiang Middle School, Qinghai Xining No. 1 Middle School did not score a single ball in the end.

Instead, Lu Wenbin scored two goals through two personal heroic quick counterattacks, and also scored a corner kick to help Meijiang Middle School beat Qinghai Xining No. 1 Middle School with a score of 3-0.

One of the counterattacks was a long shot from outside the penalty area. Lu Wenbin's sudden long shot after swinging away from the penalty area became more and more threatening.

The process was hard work, but the result was gratifying.

While helping Meijiang Middle School to defeat the opponent 3-0, Lu Wenbin also increased the number of individual goals to 9 goals, thriving in this national final.

Meijiang Middle School won all three games in the group stage and ranked first in Group G with 9 points.

With three goals and a win in this game, Lu Wenbin gained 200 experience points, and his personal level experience rose to 692/1000 at level 6.

In the afternoon, in the competition between Shanghai Datong Middle School and Inner Mongolia Baogang No. 1 Middle School for the right to qualify for the second group, Datong Middle School finally came out on top and defeated Inner Mongolia Baogang 3-1 with Gu Zhengpeng's outbreak and another player's goal. Steel One.

Gu Zhengpeng scored two goals and scored twice.

Datong Middle School qualified second in the final group, becoming the team with the poorest group stage results among the 8 seeded teams.

Of course, they're not the worst.

The most unfortunate is Hubei Wuhan No. 12 Middle School. Although they are not seeded, they are divided into a group with Yanbian No. 1 High School in Jilin Province and Chongqing No. 7 Middle School, making that group the death group.

As a result, in this group of death, Wuhan No. 12 Middle School unfortunately ranked third due to the disadvantage of goal difference and was eliminated, becoming the only seeded team that failed to qualify for the group stage.

After the game in the afternoon, all the group matches will be over, the top 16 teams will be formed, and the 1/8 finals will not start until two days of rest, giving the advanced teams two days of rest.

The Tianjin News in the evening naturally broadcasted the top 16 list of the high school league national finals group stage and advanced to the knockout stage, and focused on the teams and players who performed well in the group stage.

Among them, Lu Wenbin, as the best individual player, received a considerable amount of coverage, almost the same treatment as the host Tianjin No. 54 Middle School.

The performance of 9 goals in three games surprised countless people.

In the previous national finals, even the top scorer who reached the final and played 7 games rarely scored more than 9 goals. Lu Wenbin completed it in the group stage.

You must know that this is the national finals. The average performance of three goals per game is more than half more than the four goals scored second in the scorer list, which is simply too abnormal.

Scouts who watched Lu Wenbin's games all began to report to their clubs, as did Claire.

That night, Claire called Dietmar Hopper, the owner of Shandong Tourism, and reported her tracking results of Lu Wenbin's next two group matches.

Hope was also surprised to hear that Lu Wenbin scored two consecutive braces and hat-tricks in the next two games, and the total number of personal goals reached 9.

Even if this is just a high school league, at Lu Wenbin's age, with such strength and scoring efficiency, it is already amazing enough.

In addition to the most critical scoring ability, Claire also reported to Hope that she observed Lu Wenbin's physique, speed, dribbling, shooting, off-ball running and other qualities and abilities.

Although she can't digitize it like a system, she can judge from experience.

After listening, Hope decided to return to Tianjin and personally go to the scene to see Lu Wenbin's performance in the knockout round.
