Although Lu Wenbin tried his best to break through the goal and pass the assist to the teammate’s shot, they were finally resolved by the opponent’s goalkeeper Wu Sihuo, who was possessed by the goalkeeper.
Even Lu Wenbin’s shot from within the penalty area line was blocked by Wu Sihuo with his toes.
Although Lu Wenbin can’t see Wu Sihuo’s attributes, he feels that Wu Sihuo’s goalkeeping attribute value may reach about 10 points, which is the level of a professional goalkeeper in the lower league.
