Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 337 Another free kick, Lin’s Crescent Moon Scimitar!

Because the location of the foul was too sensitive, the fans of both teams were nervous when the referee blew the whistle.

Inter Milan fans were eagerly hoping that the referee would give them a penalty, while Manchester United fans were praying repeatedly in their hearts, hoping that it was just a free kick.

The referee was also discussing with the linesman. He was not sure whether this was a foul in the penalty area and wanted to confirm the linesman's opinion.

During this period, Richardson, who committed the foul, tried desperately to explain to the referee that he had committed the foul outside the penalty area.

But the referee obviously ignored his defense: As a perpetrator, you will naturally deny it and try your best to exonerate yourself.

"What he said was true. I tripped outside and fell into the penalty area!"

Just when Richardson was speechless and almost in despair, Lin Feng stood up and spoke a fair word for him.

"Ok?"

The referee looked at Lin Feng in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the other party would actually speak well of him.

The Manchester United players present were also very surprised, and they all looked at Lin Feng with incredible eyes.

After playing football for so many years, many of them encountered this situation for the first time.

Since the parties involved said so, the referee followed suit and awarded a free kick to Inter Milan, and showed a yellow card to Richardson for the tackle from behind.

Although he was given a yellow card warning, Richardson was still very grateful to Lin Feng and kept saying thank you to him.

Since they couldn't hear what the players on the field were saying, the fans at the scene were a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like Lin Feng seemed to speak for the other party just now?"

"I feel the same way, otherwise Richardson wouldn't be so grateful to him!"

"If I were Lin Feng, I would never have said anything just now. Wouldn't it be better to let the referee award a penalty to Inter Milan?"

Everyone nodded. If this happened to other people, most people would probably make the same choice.

But Lin Feng didn’t, and this is exactly why they like and even admire Lin Feng, isn’t it?
Although no penalty was awarded, Manchester United players still did not dare to be careless.

Especially when they saw Lin Feng standing in front of the ball, ready to take the free kick himself, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and almost everyone returned to the penalty area to prepare for defense.

The Manchester United players, who had suffered a loss in the last game, learned their lesson this time. When forming the human wall, they specially arranged a player to lie on the grass behind the wall. The purpose was to prevent Lin Feng from taking advantage of the opportunity when the human wall jumped to make a low kick like he did last time.

It has to be said that since Lin Feng used this move last time, the free kick masters in the five major leagues have followed suit and have used this move in their games in an attempt to imitate Lin Feng.

As a result, some teams that had not watched the game and were not prepared for this move actually fell into the trap.

Since then, all major teams have been wary of this tactic when practicing defending set pieces, and sending someone to lie in the grass behind has become the simplest and most practical tactic.

Due to his lack of height, Lu Xiaopang was not allowed to form a human wall, but was arranged to lie on the grass.

Fat Lu, lying on his side on the lawn, felt very nervous.

He was not afraid of the opponent's shot hitting him, but he was very afraid that his teammates would hit him after landing unsteadily after jumping.

Fortunately, this scene did not happen. Lin Feng chose to bypass the wall of people with his free kick and made an arc with the outside of his right foot.

Van der Sar's vision was blocked, but he almost predicted the opponent's intention at the first moment.

But the angle of the ball was too tricky, and it almost flew into the net along the inside of the post.

Van der Sar tried his best, but still couldn't stop Lin Feng from scoring with a free kick.

The entire Meazza Stadium was like a erupting volcano, and in an instant it exploded with an earth-shaking sound.

Countless fans cheered excitedly, celebrating the team's goal in ecstasy.

"Lin Feng's free kick is simply incredible, with such a perfect arc and such a tricky angle, the goalkeeper has no way to deal with it!"

"It's not Van der Sar's fault, it's just that the quality of the opponent's penalty was too high!"

"Manchester United fans were secretly celebrating that their team escaped a penalty one second ago, but the next second they were taught a lesson by Lin Feng's free kick. Lin Feng said, you are celebrating too early!"

"Haha, scoring from free kicks in two consecutive games, Lin Feng has taken another solid step towards becoming a free kick master!"

On the CCTV commentary stand, the two guest commentators almost blew Lin Feng up to the sky.

After hearing the two people's praise, the fans not only did not think there was anything wrong with it, they even felt that they were not praising enough!

By replaying the slow-motion footage on TV over and over again, everyone saw the entire process of the goal.

The graceful arc, tricky angles and the beauty brought by the combination of strength and speed make people intoxicated.

It turns out there are such beautiful goals in the world!

I really hope I can watch it again!

……

Ronaldo was stunned again. He claimed to be a free kick expert, but after seeing Lin Feng score a goal with a free kick, Ronaldo fell silent.

If Lin Feng's goal in the last game seemed to be a trick, then this time, Lin Feng's goal really perfectly demonstrated his free kick skills.

Ronaldo weighed it up secretly, and finally found out with frustration that he seemed unable to take a free kick of this quality.

In Ronaldo's impression, it seems that the only person who has the ability to hit such a beautiful arc is Beckham!
"David, why is your teammate's free kick so similar to yours?!"

In a stand somewhere in the stadium, Victoria asked her husband with some confusion.

Beckham held his wife's hand tightly and said with a smile:
"We are teammates, we train together, we learn from each other and communicate with each other frequently, so it's normal for us to kick free kicks like that."

"Oh, is it your free kicks that are good, or is it his?"

Beckham smiled and said nothing. Lin Feng knew many more free kick tricks than him.

Now he has also learned the essence of his banana ball. If they really compare, Beckham has no confidence that he can beat him.

This can be seen from the order of free kicks within Inter Milan. When Lin Feng is on the court, he is always the first person to take the free kick.

Only when Lin Feng is not present will it be the turn of others.

Lin Feng's goal dealt a heavy blow to Manchester United's morale, and now the total score between the two sides has reached 4:1.
Manchester United needs to score three goals in the next period of time to reverse Inter Milan and advance to the semi-finals.

With the defensive strength that Inter Milan has shown in past games, it is extremely difficult to score three goals against them!
What's more, Manchester United has no way to guarantee that they will not lose the ball during this period!
But this Red Devils team does have some resilience. The situation has gotten so bad, it can't get any worse than this!
So they gave it their all, not even caring about defense, and were ready to fight Inter Milan to the death.

You know what, once they start fighting with all their might, they seem really unstoppable.

In the 37th minute, after a breakthrough on the right, Ronaldo finally remembered that he had teammates and passed the ball to the top of the penalty area. Alan Smith took a shot but missed the target by a wide margin.

Ferguson shook his head in disappointment. Smith has strong defensive abilities but poor offensive attributes.

If Rooney had received the ball just now, there might have been some hope.

But Ronaldo is starting to become more team-oriented, which is a good thing for the team.

One minute later, Ronaldo found an opportunity on the right again. He turned around and got rid of the defender and wanted to pass the ball directly into the penalty area.

But Samuel anticipated his intention and kicked the ball away in advance.

But what happened was that his kick actually formed an assist and sent the ball right to Carrick.

Carrick was very decisive. He shot without adjusting his position and the ball went right past the right post and into the net.

The score became 1:1, and Manchester United equalized the score in just four minutes.

Manchester United fans in the stands were still cheering, but on the field, the Manchester United players, knowing that they didn't have much time, didn't celebrate the goal at all. Ronaldo rushed into the net immediately, ran back with the ball, and did not forget to call his teammates to join him.

Ferguson, whose face had been tense for more than 30 minutes, finally smiled.

That's what it feels like!

The Red Devil, whose bloodline was activated in adversity, is back!

In the first leg, Manchester United suffered a 1-3 defeat at home, which almost made Ferguson himself fall into despair.

Since he took over the team, Manchester United has never had a chance to turn the tables after losing the first leg in European competitions.

What’s more, it was a fatal home defeat, which is no different from a death sentence.

But Ferguson still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, that was the strong resilience that Manchester United had developed under his training.

The reason why wealthy families are wealthy is because they have a profound foundation.

Even though they were in an unfavorable situation of falling behind, the players still believed that they could win.

And Manchester United, which is good at playing against the wind, is the best among them!
Now, as long as Manchester United keeps up the good work and scores another goal, Inter Milan’s morale will be shaken.

If Manchester United scores two goals in a row, Inter Milan's morale might collapse, and they will complete a desperate comeback that has never been accomplished in the history of the Champions League!
This goal had a great boosting effect on Manchester United's morale, and every Manchester United player on the field seemed to be full of energy.

Not only did he run more actively and hard, but he also fought more resolutely and fiercely.

Especially Alan Smith. Although he is not good at offense, his defensive ability is the best among forwards.

Many fans even think that he pioneered the defensive forward position!

Alan Smith was running rampant in Inter Milan's backfield, running around like a mad dog.

Although his defense may not necessarily result in the ball being snatched away, he succeeded in making Inter Milan's players with the ball feel nauseous and disrupting Inter Milan's backcourt passing rhythm.

As soon as Ferguson saw that there was a chance, he invested heavily in increasing manpower and intensified the attack, vowing to completely disrupt Inter Milan's midfield and backcourt.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Inter Milan immediately strengthened the protection of the midfield and backcourt.

For a moment, players from both sides were fighting fiercely on the field, and the referee's whistle sounded frequently.

The Slovak referee's standards were indeed very strict. In just a few minutes, players from both sides had received three or four yellow cards.

But even so, it still couldn't stop the players of the two teams from killing each other.

In the 41st minute, Manchester United made a wonderful combination after intercepting the ball in the midfield. Heinze made a cross from the left, Giggs inserted into the ribs and touched the ball diagonally to the middle.

Alan Smith, who was regarded as a troublemaker, appeared here and volleyed the ball without stopping.

The ball went straight into the upper right corner of the goal, and Cesar had almost no reaction to it.

The score became 1:2. Manchester United scored two goals in just five minutes and actually overtook the score!

The current total score is 4:3, Manchester United is only one goal behind, and they only need to score one more goal to complete an epic reversal!
Alan Smith looked extremely excited after scoring the goal. This was also his first start in a European match for Manchester United in 15 months!
How could he not be excited to score a crucial goal in such an important game?
Not only him, all Manchester United players, including those on the bench, were excited and rushed to the edge of the field to celebrate crazily.

Dong Fangzhuo was also included in the roster for this game. At this moment, he was as excited as his teammates. His blood was boiling and he wished he could replace the players on the field and fight on the field himself!

But unfortunately, at such a critical moment, Ferguson would not let him play.

Just as Ferguson expected, after the opponent scored two goals in a row, Inter Milan's morale began to waver.

The players on the field looked at Manchester United players with different eyes. Lin Feng even saw fear and terror in the eyes of some teammates.

On the sidelines, Inter Milan head coach Mancini couldn't sit still anymore.

He gestured to the team to retreat and told them to grit their teeth and hold on for the last few minutes.

We must not lose the ball again before the end of the first half!

But his order further hit Inter Milan's morale.

You can't be timid at this time. Simply retreating will only allow the opponent to launch a more unscrupulous attack.

Manchester United attacked so fiercely just now, exposing a huge gap in the backcourt. As long as they can seize one opportunity and score a goal, the situation will be reversed immediately!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng quietly found Torres and Cruz and told them his thoughts.

"Damn it, I don't know why, but I just can't stand seeing these Manchester United guys showing off!"

Torres spat and stood firmly on Lin Feng's side.

After hesitating for a moment, Cruise chose to support Lin Feng's decision.

With the support of two people, Lin Feng felt a lot more relieved.

But without affecting the overall defense, using several offensive players in the frontcourt to launch one or two counterattacks should not be considered as going against the head coach's orders, right?

The Manchester United players did not know Lin Feng and his team's plan. When Inter Milan kicked off, they were still planning how to attack. It seemed that they wanted to use this last minute to score one more goal and completely end the game!
After the referee blew the whistle, Torres quickly kicked the ball to Cruz and then quickly moved forward.

After Cruz passed the ball back to Lin Feng, he started running forward.

Manchester United players rushed forward without thinking, and several players rushed towards Lin Feng who had just received the ball.

Just when they thought that Lin Feng would pass the ball back under their pressure, Lin Feng unexpectedly sent a long pass to the front court.

The Manchester United players were shocked. Instead of retreating, the opponent even dared to counterattack them!
