Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 340: Make Ronaldo cry and advance to the semi-finals!
In the 82nd minute of the second half, Inter Milan's offensive round.

When Figo was dribbling the ball on the wing, Lin Feng, who had not actively asked for the ball during this period, suddenly reached out his hand.

Seeing this, Park Ji-sung, who was standing by, immediately perked up and followed him closely.

Even though there was a defensive player next to Lin Feng, Figo still chose to pass the ball to Lin Feng out of trust in his abilities.

Lin Feng took the initiative to step forward to receive the ball, while also observing the position of Park Ji-sung behind him.

Seeing that the opponent was speeding up and catching up, Lin Feng immediately used the outside of his foot to spike the ball and make an emergency stop.

When Park Ji-sung saw Lin Feng suddenly stop and change direction, as if he was going to break into the penalty area, he also hurriedly braked.

However, when he started to slow down, Lin Feng suddenly accelerated, stepped on the ball with his right foot and gently pulled the ball, then made another quick stop, completed the second change of direction, and adjusted his direction to face the goal.

Park Ji-sung had just completed his first turn, and his body was completely unable to keep up with Lin Feng's rhythm.

Seeing that the opponent was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, he had no choice but to reach out and pull Lin Feng down.

The referee was near the two players. After seeing the Korean's actions, he immediately stopped the game, verbally warned the Korean, and gave Inter Milan a free kick in the frontcourt.

Seeing their idol being teased by Lin Feng on the court, the Korean fans in the stands looked at each other in bewilderment.

Especially when the Italian fans around them laughed at Park Ji-sung's embarrassment and booed his foul, the Koreans felt a little overwhelmed.

For Manchester United fans, it doesn’t matter whether Park Ji-sung is embarrassed or not. They won’t pay any special attention to it at all.

But because of Park Ji-sung's uncalm behavior, the opponent was given another chance for a free kick in the frontcourt, which was really fatal!
Ferguson looked unhappy. He sent Park Ji-sung into the game hoping that Park Ji-sung could limit Lin Feng's performance.

But in reality, the Koreans' performance did not meet his expectations at all.

He even gave the opponent another free kick opportunity. As early as during the halftime break, he had already reminded the players to reduce fouls in the backcourt and avoid giving the opponent set pieces.

Lin Feng's second goal from free kicks in the second half further proved his foresight.

But Park Ji-sung didn't learn his lesson and completely ignored his words.

Seeing Lin Feng standing in front of the free kick again, everyone in Manchester United felt very nervous and even scared.

The opponent's two consecutive free kicks really left them with such a deep psychological trauma that they are now afraid to see Lin Feng taking free kicks.

The 37-year-old Van der Sar looked solemn and directed his teammates very seriously to form a human wall.

In order to prevent Lin Feng from bypassing the human wall again, this time the human wall was moved a lot to the outside to ensure that the other party could not bypass it no matter what.

But by doing so, the outside is blocked, but the middle of the penalty area is empty.

Lin Feng did not choose to shoot himself, but instead seized the gap in the human wall and lofted the ball into the penalty area, finding Inter Milan's striker Cruz.

Cruz used his head to push the ball to the back point. Torres, who was lying in ambush at the back point, jumped high, made an aerial relay with Cruz, and headed the ball towards the goal.

The fact that Lin Feng did not shoot directly was beyond Van der Sar's expectations.

Cruz did not choose to shoot at the first point, but passed the ball to the back, which once again surprised him.

By the time Torres completed the shot after an aerial relay, Van der Sar had no time to react and could only watch the ball hit the goal.

4: 2!

Inter Milan once again expanded the score as the game was near the end!

After scoring the goal, Torres subconsciously wanted to take off his clothes, but halfway through he remembered that he had already received a yellow card in the first half for taking off his clothes to celebrate.

If he takes it off again, he will be sent off with a red card.

So he changed the way he celebrated, ran to the sidelines and imitated Lin Feng's celebration moves, shouting "siu" with confidence.

The Inter Milan fans at the scene cooperated very well and shouted "siu" together. After that, they all couldn't help laughing. The stadium was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Good boy, you stole my celebration move, did you pay the copyright fee?"

Lin Feng was also amused by Torres' behavior, and raised his hand and punched him in the chest.

"Hey, what's the relationship between you and me? Talking about money is too hurtful. At worst, I can treat you to a meal some other day. Is that okay?"

Lin Feng was just joking, but he didn't expect Torres to take it seriously.

Seeing the other party's sincere look, Lin Feng couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, sure, but Brother Cruz gave you two assists, shouldn't you also show some appreciation?"

Cruz was right beside him, and after hearing Lin Feng's words, he waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, this is just what I should do!"

In his opinion, Torres' position was better than his, so it was natural to pass the ball to Torres.

Torres was not a stingy person. When he heard Lin Feng's proposal, he patted his chest and agreed on the spot:
"Brother Cruz, you gave me two assists, so I should treat you to this meal, so don't refuse!"

The other teammates nearby immediately started to make a noise after hearing this: "Okay, you're going to treat them to a meal without bringing us along, right?"

"If you ask me, just eating is boring. I know a few good nightclubs. Do you want me to take you little fledglings to have some good food?"

"What? Eagle Party? Where is there an Eagle Party? Why didn't they invite us? That's really mean!"

Originally, the topic that Lin Feng and Torres were discussing was very simple, but with the interruption of these old hands in the team, the topic gradually went off track and couldn't be brought back.

……

Looking at the Inter Milan players who were talking and laughing and discussing enthusiastically.

The Manchester United players felt extremely bitter. Torres' goal completely nailed the final nail in the coffin for Manchester United.

At this time, the total score between the two teams has reached 7:3, and there are less than ten minutes left before the end of the game. There is no way Manchester United can turn the tables!

As if seeing through this, Mancini used two substitutions in a row in the final moments of the game.

Lin Feng and Torres, the two major scorers, were replaced one after another, allowing them to receive applause from the fans on the scene alone.

In this game, Lin Feng and Torres both scored twice, while another striker Cruz assisted and scored twice.

It is no exaggeration to say that these three are the biggest contributors to Inter Milan's victory in this game.

Especially Lin Feng, out of these four goals, two were scored by him himself, and the other two were instigated by him.

The fans have sharp eyes. Knowing how much Lin Feng helped the team win, when Lin Feng was substituted, the fans at the scene not only applauded, but even stood up collectively to pay tribute to him.

This scene made the Chinese fans in front of the TV very excited, and also made the Korean fans who were shouting before shut up.

They know too well how difficult it is for an Asian player to gain recognition from so many people in a foreign country!

Of course, not all Koreans have such a clear understanding. There are still many Korean fans who are stubborn and say, "Humph, what's so great about it? Senior Cha Bum-kun did it decades ago. The Chinese are still far from what Senior Cha Bum-kun has achieved!"

Seeing that Park Ji-sung was unable to suppress Lin Feng and was even completely outshined by Lin Feng, the Koreans immediately pulled out their country's football legend and the earliest representative of Asians studying abroad - Cha Bum-kun!

Before Lin Feng emerged, Che Fangen had always been a benchmark figure in Asian football studying abroad.

He played more than 300 games in the Bundesliga, scored 98 goals, won the Bundesliga Most Valuable Player, and led the team to win the UEFA Cup twice.

He himself was once the record holder for goals scored by foreign players in the Bundesliga.

In the 1970s and 1980s, when Chinese football was just opening its eyes to the world, such a figure appeared in the neighboring country. He was indeed very powerful.

But as the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves in front, and the waves in front are beaten to death on the beach.

Although Cha Bum-kun's performance is impressive and his statistics are also very good.

But that depends on who you compare with!

Compared with other Asian players, he is indeed a level above.

But compared to someone as cheating as Lin Feng, Che Fangen is still a little bit inferior.

With Lin Feng's current goal efficiency, scoring 20+ goals every season, it will only take five seasons at most for him to break Cha Bum-kun's record and become the first Asian player to score three-digit goals in the top five leagues.

In terms of personal honors, Cha Bum-kun has no Golden Boy Award, no Golden Ball Award, and has never won the Bundesliga championship. Although he has two UEFA Cups, he does not have the more prestigious Champions League cup.

Lin Feng has already won the Golden Boy Award and the Serie A championship, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will win another Serie A championship this season.

Even the Golden Globe Award is expected in the future. In this respect, Cha Bum-kun is really incomparable.

So the Koreans can only take advantage of Cha Bum-kun now. I wonder how they will react when Lin Feng's data and honors surpass Cha Bum-kun?
……

Although the game had entered garbage time after Inter Milan replaced two main players.

But Manchester United is still trying to attack and want to score another goal to save face.

Although they had to accept the result of missing out on the semi-finals, Manchester United was still somewhat embarrassed by being beaten twice by Inter Milan at home and away.

After all, they are the leader of the Premier League, but in the Champions League, they were beaten so badly by the top team in Serie A. This is not only a loss of face for Manchester United, but also a loss of face for the entire Premier League.

In recent years, the outside world has been comparing the Premier League and Serie A. Many people believe that the rising Premier League has surpassed the declining Serie A.

However, the result of this game slapped these people in the face.

Let them know that even though they are both at the top of the list, there is a gap between them.

Perhaps Inter Milan was a little relaxed after taking the lead, or perhaps it was because it was near the end and the home team deliberately let the game go.

When the game entered injury time, Manchester United actually seized the opportunity and scored a goal.

In the 3rd minute of injury time, Manchester United launched a counterattack and Giggs passed the ball in the center circle.

Ronaldo, who had been depressed for the whole game, got the ball again on the right rib, but this time he did not choose to pass it.

Instead, he cut inside and passed the defender who was trying to steal the ball, then shot with his right foot at the near corner from 14 meters in front of the goal.

The shot was decisive and Cesar made a save, but he was a beat too slow and the ball rolled into the goal along the grass before he landed.

The score became 4:3 and Manchester United scored a goal.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo did not choose to celebrate. Instead, he rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran back, as if he wanted to continue scoring goals.

This action made Inter Milan players somewhat unhappy. Scoring a goal was enough to show their appreciation, why did they have to go further?

If they had really conceded two goals in injury time, the Inter Milan players on the field would have been scolded by the head coach after the game!
So this time the players defending him were particularly serious. Zanetti followed him closely, and midfielder Stankovic also often came over to help.

Ronaldo tried again and again, but ultimately failed to create a miracle.

The score of 4:3 remained until the end of the game. With the home and away wins over Manchester United, Inter Milan advanced to the semi-finals.

The moment the final whistle sounded, thunderous applause and cheers rang out at the Meazza Stadium, and countless Inter fans sang and danced to celebrate the victory and the team's ticket to the semi-finals.

Being on the away field, feeling the madness and joy of the home team's fans, Ronaldo couldn't help but feel sad and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

Although he has tried very hard, his performance of scoring a goal and providing an assist to his teammates is definitely not bad.

But even so, he still couldn't lead the team to victory.

This made Ronaldo feel very confused, and he didn't know what he should do to change everything.

Seeing his disciple crying so sadly, Ferguson couldn't help but sigh, gave Ronaldo a hug, patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"It doesn't matter. If you lose, you lose. The worst that can happen is that you can start over again. But you must remember today's shame, because it will be the motivation for your revenge in the future!"

"Ok!"

C Ronaldo nodded heavily, then locked his eyes on Lin Feng.

It seemed that in his opinion, the main reason why he lost the game was because of this person!

I have to say, Ronaldo is really good at judging people!
Without Lin Feng's two free kicks, Manchester United might have really created a miracle away from home.

Ronaldo secretly told himself in his heart: I am not strong enough and I must train harder.

But he believed that sooner or later, he would defeat the opponent with his own hands and avenge today's loss!
Lin Feng, who was celebrating the victory crazily with his teammates, did not notice Ronaldo's actions, and could not guess the changes in his heart.

Compared to these things, he is now more concerned about the outcome of another game.

"How about it, are the results from Liverpool and Roma out?"

"It's over, Roma lost 7:1 away from home!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the score.

Lin Feng was even more surprised than everyone else. He originally thought that by changing their opponent, Roma could escape the fate of being massacred, but he didn't expect that they were destined to suffer this disaster.

Facing another red team from the Premier League, Roma was still completely defeated and suffered the biggest defeat in the history of the Champions League knockout stage.

With the end of this game, Inter Milan’s opponent in the semi-finals was also announced, that is the 04-05 Champions League champion - Liverpool!
