Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 315 10:02, breaking the fastest goal record in Champions League history!
On March 3, the much-anticipated second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals continued.

One of the most watched matches in this round is Inter Milan's home game against Real Madrid.

The two sides tied 2-2 in the first leg. Inter Milan has the advantage of away goals and currently has the upper hand.
In this game, both Inter Milan and Real Madrid sent out their strongest lineups, vowing to win the game.

Moreover, the coaches of both teams had a tacit understanding and abandoned the formations of the previous game. They no longer regarded defense as the main goal, but put offense first.

However, Real Madrid was plagued by injuries, and Reyes stayed in Spain for treatment and did not travel with the team to the away game.

Cannavaro was unable to play because he failed to pass UEFA's physical examination before the game. Ramos replaced the Italian and served as Real Madrid's starting central defender in this game.

In the coin toss before the game, Inter Milan chose the side and Real Madrid chose the ball.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
Inter Milan had a strong desire to win this game. After the opening, several Inter Milan players rushed into the depths of Real Madrid's half, forcing the Real Madrid players who had just kicked off to pass the ball back.

As soon as Raul passed the ball to Gabi, Lin Feng arrived and Gabi had to pass the ball back to the full-back Carlos.

The opponent's formation is pressed so far forward that the back will inevitably become empty. This is actually an opportunity for Real Madrid. If they can pass the ball to the front court smoothly, it will be easy to form a threatening attack.

As an excellent and experienced attacker, Carlos obviously knew this was an opportunity.

However, at this critical moment, Carlos made a mistake.

Maybe he was not well prepared, or maybe Gabi's return pass was too powerful.

Carlos actually made a mistake when stopping the ball, the distance was a little far.

It happened that Figo had already rushed over at this time. If the opponent did not make a mistake, Figo could only put some symbolic pressure on him and it would be difficult for him to snatch the ball from the opponent's feet.

But Carlos made a mistake!

Figo's eyes lit up, he stretched out his long legs to push the ball away, and passed the ball before Carlos committed a foul.

The moment Carlos made a mistake in stopping the ball, he knew he was in big trouble, but there was nothing he could do at this point and he could only pin his hopes on his teammates!

Figo passed the ball to the middle, and Lin Feng received his pass at the top of the penalty area.

Although Real Madrid's central defender Ramos had realized the danger and tried to block it, Lin Feng's decisiveness still exceeded his expectations!
After receiving the ball, Lin Feng didn't waste even half a second. After looking up to observe Torres' position, he decisively chose to shoot himself!

Ramos was still a step too late after all, and could only look back at his own goal, hoping that Casillas could step up again and save the team!

Casillas' reaction was very quick. The moment Lin Feng received the ball, he sensed that the opponent was going to shoot, but he did not expect the opponent to be so decisive and resolute!
What’s even more terrible is that the angle of Lin Feng’s shot was very tricky, and the ball almost brushed the edge of the post and flew into the net!
The score became 1:0!

Just 11 seconds into the game, Inter Milan scored the first goal!

There was an uproar at the scene and fans from both sides were shocked.

The game has just started, and there’s already a goal?

"CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, welcome to watch the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between Inter Milan and Real Madrid... the ball goes in!!"

“The game just started and the ball went in!!!”

"Beautiful! Lin Feng's goal gave Inter Milan a dream start!"

Inside the CCTV studio, Lin Feng scored a goal before the two commentators had even finished their opening remarks!

The two commentators were caught off guard and forgot all their subsequent lines as their attention was drawn to this lightning-fast goal.

"I can't believe a goal was scored so quickly in this game. As far as I can remember, there seems to be no faster goal than this in the entire history of the Champions League, right?"

They immediately realized: Lin Feng seemed to have set another record inadvertently?
The two commentators serving as guest commentators for this game are Liu Jianhong and Duan Xuan. Since Huang Jianxiang left CCTV due to the World Cup commentary incident last year, the number of times these two have partnered up to commentate has increased significantly.

Involving a player from his own country, and a record that was enough to be recorded in the history of the Champions League, Duan Xuan quickly looked up the information and gave a positive answer:

"I just checked and the previous record for the fastest goal in the Champions League was set by Arsenal's Gilberto Silva in the match between Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven on September 2002, 9.

When he scored the goal, only 20.07 seconds had passed since the start of the game, surpassing the previous record of 20:12 seconds set by Piero at Juventus.

But Lin Feng's goal has greatly surpassed the results of these two people. The time he scored the goal should be within 11 seconds, but we don't know the exact number of seconds yet!"

This issue is not only of concern to the commentators, but also to a large number of domestic fans who are watching the live broadcast on TV, as well as Inter Milan fans at the scene.

The referee pointed to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid.

After the referee made the decision that the goal was valid, the big screen on the scene quickly gave the answer - 10:02 seconds!
"Hiss! It's 10:02, almost breaking the 10-second mark!"

Liu Jianhong was really shocked. Other people's records all started with 20 seconds, but you started with 10 seconds, which doubled the record in one go. It was too outrageous!

After hearing Liu Jianhong's words, Duan Xuan joked:
"Haha, maybe many viewers who just turned on the TV didn't understand the situation. When they heard this number, they thought it was a 100-meter race, but it was actually a football game!"

Liu Jianhong also laughed: "Haha, I'm afraid no one will be able to break this record for a long time in the future!"

When he thought that the fastest goal record in the history of the Champions League would be held for a long time by a Chinese player, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and he inexplicably felt a sense of honor!
Liu Jianhong is not the only one who has this feeling. Chinese fans watching the game generally have this feeling!
"Lin Feng is awesome, this ball is really fast!"

"I've heard that Lin Feng is fast, but I didn't expect him to be so fast!"

"I feel like his running speed just now is no slower than those track and field athletes in China!"

"It's over, it's over. Although Lin Feng is very fast, he can't compare with those professional sprinters in the country!"

"Brothers, how long do you think this record can last before it is broken?"

"I'm afraid it can be maintained for a long time. This kind of goal requires the right time, place and people to come together. If the opponent does not make mistakes, it is impossible to score such a goal so quickly!"

Veteran fans could see at a glance that the reason why Lin Feng was able to create such a fast record was because Real Madrid's left-back Carlos made a mistake himself.

If he hadn't made a mistake in stopping the ball, this goal wouldn't have happened at all.

The fastest goal record in the history of the Chinese Super League created by Ji Xiang also came from Guangzhou Evergrande midfielder Qin Sheng's own clearance error. That goal was even faster, taking only seven seconds!

The cheers at the Meazza Stadium lasted for a long time, and Real Madrid, who were playing away, were completely stunned by this goal.

The game had just begun and most of the players suddenly fell behind before they had time to get into the game!

The game just started and another one is about to start, which means that Real Madrid is playing this game with a one-goal deficit!
The score was not very favorable to them in the first place, and now the opponent is leading in the total score. In addition, the opponent scored such a wonderful goal at the beginning, which had an extremely obvious effect on boosting morale and also hit the morale of Real Madrid.

On the sidelines, Mancini, Inter Milan's assistant coach and substitutes were celebrating wildly, while Real Madrid coach Capello felt his brain go blank. The photographer zoomed in and found that his hand in his right trouser pocket was shaking slightly.

Even a famous coach who was used to big scenes was still broken by Lin Feng's ball.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but no one can deny its existence.

With the blessing of taking the lead at the start, Inter Milan's players were all in high spirits and full of confidence. After the restart, they quickly took the initiative in the game and gradually began to suppress Real Madrid.

In the 3rd minute, Vieira chested the ball in the midfield and shot it past the left post.

Then Lin Feng's corner kick almost assisted Materazzi to score. If the goal post had not saved Real Madrid, Real Madrid would have lost 2 goals in three minutes!

Three minutes later, Figo's breakthrough caused Real Madrid to commit a foul again, and Lin Feng chose to shoot directly from the free kick.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and spun towards the upper left corner of the goal.

At the critical moment, Casillas stood up and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

Inter Milan got another corner kick, Lin Feng kicked the ball into the penalty area, but unfortunately it was blocked by Emerson halfway.

The second ball was controlled by Torres, but he didn't have the chance to shoot and fell to the ground under the pressure of Real Madrid.

There was an uproar at the scene, but the referee ignored it.

Strictly speaking, Ramos should be penalized for pushing the opponent from behind.

But perhaps considering that the foul took place in the penalty area and Real Madrid was the lagging side, if a penalty kick was awarded, it would almost be a death sentence for Real Madrid.

That's why the referee pretended not to see it, but this attitude obviously made Inter Milan's fans very unhappy and there was a lot of booing at the scene.

Real Madrid has been under great pressure during this period. Inter Milan's offensive wave after wave does not give them any chance to breathe.

Under the opponent's crazy pressing, Real Madrid's backcourt players could hardly pass the ball, and were even forced to kick the ball hard to clear the ball.

As a top club, when have you ever seen Real Madrid play so miserably, even in the Champions League?

Under normal circumstances, Inter Milan can't do it.

But this is just crazy!

Our side's morale is high and its combat effectiveness has increased dramatically, while the opponent's morale has been hit and its state has declined. As one increases and the other decreases, the gap widens, and this situation occurs.

But this state of improvement through sheer enthusiasm is obviously unsustainable.

So for Real Madrid, they just need to grit their teeth and hold on, and they will be safe after getting through this wave.

But it is easier said than done!
In the 7th minute, the clumsy Ramos violated Crespo while defending and was warned with a yellow card by the referee, who then gave Inter Milan another free kick in the frontcourt.

Lin Feng chose to shoot directly this time, but he did not use the falling leaf ball as before. Instead, he chose the Mihajlovic-style free kick that combines speed and power.

Unfortunately, it was saved by Casillas. Except for the goal lost at the beginning, the Real Madrid goalkeeper's performance in these few minutes was perfect.

He used his stable and efficient performance to show the outside world why he could secure the position of Real Madrid's main goalkeeper!

After this shot, Inter Milan's crazy offensive came to an end.

To be honest, this kind of high-intensity running and attacking consumes a lot of players' physical energy and is destined to not last long.

If we really continue to play in this way, I'm afraid the players on the field won't have the physical strength to last until the end of the game.

After Inter Milan slowed down the pace of attack, Real Madrid was finally able to take a breath and try to launch an attack.

Real Madrid was already under great offensive pressure in this game, and now because of the unexpected goal loss, they are under even greater pressure!

The total score between the two teams is now 3:2. Real Madrid needs to score at least two goals to advance to the quarterfinals.

Time is short and the task is heavy, Real Madrid must race against time to score a goal as soon as possible.

Every second they delay means their chances of advancing decrease.

Coincidentally, after taking the lead, Inter Milan also intended to retract its formation to make room for the opponent to attack.

Just now, Real Madrid's formation was retracted too much, leaving them with a lack of space for offense. Although they had many shots, there were not many that could be considered good opportunities.

Several of the more threatening attacks were created through set pieces.

In a way, this actually proves that Real Madrid's defensive work is very good.

All of this is thanks to Capello's adjustment of Real Madrid's defensive tactics after he took over as coach. The previous Galacticos were notoriously top-heavy and did not have such high defensive quality at all.

But once Real Madrid attacks, the number of people in the backcourt will decrease, and it will naturally be impossible to maintain such a high level of defensive quality.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Inter Milan is planning, so how could Real Madrid not know about it?

But there is no other way. We are behind in the overall score and we have to attack!

However, soon Real Madrid faced the same problem as Inter Milan.

Faced with Inter Milan's well-defended defense, Real Madrid didn't have any better solution.

As Emerson replaced Guti in the starting lineup, the Galacticos' creativity in the midfield was further weakened. Although they pushed the attack to the frontcourt, it was difficult to create decent opportunities. In the first 20 minutes, only Carlos' long-range free kick threatened Inter Milan's goal.

On the other hand, Inter Milan's counterattack after the opponent attacked was so effective that it gave Real Madrid a huge headache.

In the 21st minute, Carlos' free kick was headed out. Lin Feng took the ball from the right midfield and rushed forward at high speed. Inter Milan's counterattack came again!

After dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Lin Feng decisively cut inside, and seized the opportunity of the opponent's central defender pressing forward, and sent the ball into the penalty area with a lob pass.

Torres chested the ball and turned to shoot, but unfortunately his shot was saved by Casillas.

Inter Milan missed a great opportunity to expand the score!
