Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 3 Kakabenka?

Chapter 3 Kakabenka?

“Going in beautifully!”

“This foot transfer is really a stroke of genius!”

“What a broad view! How did he find Gao Lin’s location?”

“Brother Linzi is awesome!”

“Gao Lin’s teachings are also quite good, and they have a spiritual touch!”

“Is there no one who wants to praise King Dong? His physique is so strong!”

“That’s right. How bad can a man who is favored by Sir Alex Ferguson be?”

Seeing that the Chinese national youth team finally scored a goal, the fans in China who were watching the game on TV all breathed a sigh of relief and praised all those who participated in the attack without hesitation.

Although Dong Fangzhuo’s shot was brilliant, many fans attributed the main credit to Lin Feng.

If he had not discovered the defensive gap on the opponent’s left side and sent such a precise long pass, the National Youth Team would not have had such a good chance to score.

After seeing Lin Feng’s outstanding performance, all the fans who had questioned him before shut up.

Many people even asked soul-searching questions:
Why wasn’t such a good player sent on earlier?

In the eyes of many people, if Krauchen had not been so secretive and had sent Lin Feng onto the field earlier, perhaps the game would have been won long ago and the situation would not have turned out like this.

Just imagine, if Lin Feng and Chen Tao formed a double attacking midfielder combination, this midfield would be invincible!
During the 02 World Cup, the Brazilian team used the double attacking midfielder tactic of Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. The whole world witnessed how strong the Brazilian team was at that time.

Of course, this is just the fans’ fantasy. The gap between this national youth team and the Brazilian team of that year is too big.

The midfield combination of Lin Feng and Chen Tao can at best be regarded as a youthful and poor version of Ronaldinho and Wadao.

……

Seeing the national youth players celebrating wildly on the sidelines, the German players were very depressed.

Victory was already within reach, and they were already preparing for the semi-finals.

But with the opponent’s goal, they watched the victory that was almost in their hands fly away!
When the National Youth Team scored the goal, there was less than a minute left until the end of the game, it was really just a few dozen seconds.

This feeling of falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden was too much of a blow for the young players whose mentality was already immature.

At the end of injury time, the two sides were tied at 3:3 and the game was dragged into overtime.

Because the time was too short, the players did not have time to return to the locker room and gathered around the head coach on the sidelines to discuss overtime tactics.

The 5-minute break ended quickly and players from both sides returned to the court.

Maybe it was because their mentality suffered a severe blow, or maybe it was because the national youth team’s fighting power increased greatly after making substitutions.

After the overtime started, the national youth team was in high spirits and launched a strong offensive.

In contrast, the German team’s morale was low and the players were in panic.

Soon, the Chinese national youth team completely took control of the initiative on the field and began to suppress the German team.

This scene made the Chinese fans, who had just been despised by the German fans, suddenly feel proud and even straightened their backs.

“What a bullshit European powerhouse, I don’t think it’s anything more than that!”

“That’s right, they are the runner-up in the World Cup. I think they just took advantage of the Koreans!”

During the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, a certain country used despicable means to unexpectedly eliminate top European teams such as Italy and Spain, causing the German team to face the weakest opponent among the top four – the South Korean team – in the semi-finals.

After being warned by football emperor Beckenbauer that their opponents would not dare to continue using tricks, the German team finally advanced to the final.

The German team was not considered a top team in that World Cup and lost miserably in the final, so many fans called it the worst runner-up in history.

Many people believe that if it was Italy or Spain instead of South Korea that advanced to the semi-finals, it would be hard to say whether the German team could advance to the finals.

So since then, many people have mocked the Germans, saying that they picked up the runner-up title.

As if he couldn’t stand the team being so passive, the German coach waved his hand and asked the players to implement high-pressure tactics. Compared with Asians, Europeans have obvious physical advantages. Relying on physical confrontation and physical advantages, they always have the upper hand when facing Asian teams in the past.

But this time, the German team’s mad-dog pressing not only failed to succeed, but also exposed the space behind them.

In the 95th minute, National Youth Team midfielder Cui Peng successfully counterattacked in the midfield and then passed the ball to Lin Feng without hesitation.

Although Lin Feng has not fought alongside them for a long time, he has won the recognition and trust of his teammates with his outstanding performance.

When Cui Peng passed the ball, Lin Feng was already accelerating.

After catching the ball, his speed not only did not slow down, but even continued to accelerate.

This terrifying acceleration ability made the fans who came to watch the game in person stare in amazement.

“Counterattack from the Chinese team, Lin Feng is running with the ball!”

“What a fast speed! He passed Germany’s No. 7 Benecki and left behind No. 4 Matip who was trying to catch up. He was still accelerating. He was like a gust of wind, overturning the German chariot to the ground!”

Looking down at the stadium from the air, you can see a red figure in the white crowd, like a sharp knife, breaking through all obstacles and moving forward.

The nearby German players rushed up one after another, but like waves hitting a dam, they all returned in defeat.

No one can stop him!

Lin Feng ran forward with the ball, his speed getting faster and faster. Even the defender of the German team who was at the back was overtaken by his speed!

This terrifying speed and extremely impactful attack method.

It makes the fans excited and crazy!

At this moment, all the fans in the stadium stood up and almost no one was still sitting in their seats.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked towards the German team’s goal with anticipation.

No matter how good your performance is, it will be useless if you can’t score a goal.

But once this ball goes in, the meaning will be completely different, and it may even become the most exciting goal in this World Youth Championship!
“Come on, Brother Linzi!”

“Go, Brother Lin!”

“Don’t be a coward, fuck him!”

Countless domestic fans who were watching the game in front of the TV were cheering for Lin Feng at this moment.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Feng shook off the last defensive player, dribbled into the penalty area, and went for the match alone!

The German goalkeeper made the choice to attack.

His choice was correct, but it was of no use.

The moment the goalkeeper attacked, Lin Feng swung his right foot and kicked the ball hard.

There was a loud bang!
The football flew into the goal like a cannonball.

The German team’s goalkeeper only felt a flash before his eyes. Before he could see anything clearly, he heard a crisp sound.

The ball went in!
The score became 4:3, and the Chinese team took the lead again.

Now, it is the German team that is lagging behind.

However, no one at the scene, including the fans watching on TV, cared about the result anymore.

Everyone was stunned by the process of Lin Feng’s goal just now.

How cruel!

No one would have expected that this young man, who looked gentle and refined, had a handsome face and exuded a refined and easy-going temperament, actually had such a violent side.

This strong contrast almost immediately reminds people of another player in the football world, Milan’s hotshot – Kaka!
