Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

"Go, Qu Bo!"

"Come on, wind chaser!"

When the fans in the stands saw Qu Bo receive the pass from Lin Feng, they all stood up excitedly, leaning on the backs of their seats and shouting at the top of their lungs.

In the noisy stadium, Qu Bo could not hear clearly what the fans were shouting.

But he felt the passion and courage conveyed to him by the fans!
Qu Bo took a step forward with all his strength, pouring all his strength into his legs, and sprinted towards Bayern's goal with great determination!

Realizing that something was wrong, the Bayern players immediately retreated and tried their best to chase Qu Bo.

But they underestimated Qu Bo's speed. After receiving the ball, he ran faster and faster, leaving all the pursuers far behind him.

Qu Bo felt the whistling sound of the wind in his ears and the background constantly receding, and he felt as if he was dreaming back to the 2001 World Youth Championship in Argentina.

It’s just a regret left over from that year, I will definitely not make the same mistake again this time!

However, in just a few seconds, Qu Bo had already dribbled the ball into Bayern's penalty area from near the center line.

Kahn was like a golden lion king, shaking his mane and roaring as he pounced on Qu Bo.

Many players, when facing the murderous Lion King, will be intimidated by the opponent's momentum, and then perform abnormally and waste excellent scoring opportunities.

But Qu Bo only had eyes for the goal and didn't even look at Kahn. When he saw the opponent's goalkeeper coming out, he was so skilled and bold that he chose to lob the ball.

Even the Lion King Kahn was helpless in the face of such a calm shot.

He didn't even jump up to try, and could only watch the ball fall into the net.

The score became 1:1, and the goal was scored by China's No. 11 winger - Qu Bo!
Kahn put his hands on his hips and looked helplessly at Qu Bo who was running out to celebrate.

I thought the Chinese team only had Lin Feng, the fast horse they needed to watch out for, but I didn't expect the other side actually had an even faster horse!
If there had been a teammate in front of him to help block the attack just now, the success rate of his attack would have been greatly improved.

But unfortunately, the opponent was too fast.

This made Kahn very curious. Logically speaking, a winger with such a fast speed, a stable mentality and good shooting skills should not be so unknown?

But why have I never heard of the other party?
Is it that I am ignorant, or is there a world of hidden talents in Chinese football?

……

【Qu Bo!!!】

[What a fast speed, what a calm shot! ]

[Is this Qu Bo's true strength? He is indeed known as a super platinum generation player! ]

[This is nothing. Qu Bo was even more terrifying before he got injured. He was the absolute leader among the players of the Super Platinum Generation. It's a pity that the injury came too early! ]

[Yes, it's such a pity for Qu Bo. If he could get rid of the troubles of injuries and maintain his peak form, he would have established a firm foothold in the top five leagues by now! ]

Qu Bo's goal completely ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene and also evoked memories of many old fans.

As a talented player of that year, Qu Bo was once the hope of fans across the country. Milu even brought him to the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, where he was the youngest player in that national football team.

This should have been the starting point for his success, but due to injuries and other reasons, Qu Bo gradually became obscured by the crowd.

If Zhu Guanghu had not chosen to recall him to the national team this time, many fans would probably have forgotten this former genius!
However, just a familiar long-distance run awakened the fans' memories and brought the name Qu Bo back into the fans' sight.

The first 30 minutes of the first half were actually quite distressing for Chinese fans.

Not only did Bayern always have the initiative in the game, but the Chinese national team also lost the ball early on.

Watching their own goal being besieged by opponents, the opponents were far ahead in terms of ball possession rate, number of shots and other data.

The fans all felt very uneasy and the game was extremely depressing to watch.

But now, with Qu Bo's goal, the anger they had been holding in their hearts can finally be released!
Is Bayern great?
The opponent can score against us, and we can also score against them.

This one goal brought down Bayern's lofty and invincible image.

It’s not easy to defeat the Chinese team!

On the sidelines, Zhu Guanghu was so excited when he saw the connection between Lin Feng and Qu Bo.

One of the problems that troubled the Chinese national football team before was that there was only one Lin Feng in the team, which was simply not enough.

If you want to launch a quick counterattack, Lin Feng needs to be in the front.

But Lin Feng was at the front, and he couldn't control the situation in the midfield and backcourt, and he couldn't even hold the ball, so he couldn't create any threatening counterattack.

But if Lin Feng is withdrawn to control the court first, there will be someone to pass the ball, but there will be no one in the frontcourt who can attack the opponent's defense like Lin Feng can.

Simply put, it is attack and defense, and the Chinese national football team can only choose one of them.

But now with the emergence of Qu Bo, the Chinese national football team has found a way to solve this dilemma.

Although Qu Bo's personal strength is far inferior to Lin Feng's, his speed is enough to match Lin Feng.

Moreover, the space on the wing is larger than that in the middle, and it is much easier for Qu Bo to sprint on the wing than in the middle. This effectively makes up for the difference in dribbling ability between the two, allowing Qu Bo to launch a threatening attack.

The goal just now proved that as long as Lin Feng can pass the ball well, Qu Bo can also send the ball into the opponent's goal.

If Bayern had not taken this seriously, they could have even replicated the previous goal.

Thinking of this, Zhu Guanghu became more determined to launch a defensive counterattack.

He further contracted the Chinese national team's formation, attracting the opposing players and leaving more space for Qu Bo's sprint.

Moreover, after the formation retreated, the density of Chinese team's backcourt defenders was higher, and the encirclement and suppression of Bayern's ball-holding players was further strengthened, making it easier to successfully steal the ball and get the opportunity for a quick counterattack.

Heathfield frowned. He naturally saw through the other party's wishful thinking.

As a top club, Bayern often encounters opponents who adopt this tactic in the league and even in the Champions League.

He and the team have extensive experience in dealing with this type of tactic.

So, taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Hitzfeld called Bayern's left-back Lahm to the sidelines and gave him some instructions in his ear.

Ram nodded repeatedly after listening to it and glanced at the right winger Qu Bo of the Chinese national team, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

After the game resumed, Qu Bo found that he was being targeted by the opponent's short defender.

Lahm is only 1.7 meters tall, which is relatively short even among full-backs.

But the advantage of being short is that Ram is very flexible.

His turning speed and chasing speed are very fast. Even if he fails to stop the opponent in the first time, he can rely on his speed to catch up with the opponent and carry out a second interception.

But what is most commendable is that Lahm relies on his brain and consciousness when playing football, and does not rely particularly on speed.

He has a very strong ability to read the game, and can often effectively stop the opponent's attack by predicting and choosing a position in advance.

Qu Bo quickly felt the strength of this short player!
In the 38th minute, Lin Feng's pass found Qu Bo again. But before Qu Bo could speed up, Ram took the lead and got in front of Qu Bo, sticking to him and making him unable to get rid of him.

Seeing that the ball was about to be intercepted by the opponent, Qu Bo had no choice but to pass the ball back to Sun Jihai behind him.

However, this pass route had already been predicted by Bayern players, and the ball was intercepted by Bayern players as soon as it was passed.

In an instant, the situation on the field reversed again, and what was supposed to be a counterattack by the Chinese national team suddenly turned into a counterattack by Bayern.

The transition between offense and defense was so drastic that many players of the Chinese national team could not keep up with the rhythm.

After receiving the pass from his teammate, Ribery decisively cut inside, created an angle and was ready to shoot.

But a tall figure rushed over from the side, and before he could shoot, he made a sliding tackle to destroy the ball.

There was a cry of surprise from the stands. The fans were shocked by the counterattack that Bayern had just launched, and also by the person who made the tackle!
The one who made the tackle was none other than Lin Feng!

When his teammates had not yet reacted, Lin Feng discovered the danger at the first moment and captured Ribery's running position.

From his point of view, Ribery's positioning is impeccable. As long as the Bayern player who passes the ball can see his position, he will definitely pass the ball to him.

So Lin Feng simply abandoned Oteri and went straight for Ribery.

Fortunately, his decision was decisive enough. If it was a little later, Ribery might have completed the shot.

Ribery, who was knocked to the ground, pounded the grass hard several times.

Not willing to give in, so unwilling to give in!
Such a good opportunity was ruined by this guy again!

Hey, why should I say it again?

……

In a stand somewhere in the stadium, a girl wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, wrapped up tightly, couldn't help but exclaimed along with the fans around her after seeing Lin Feng's tackle.

The difference is that the fans are worried about the opponent's shot, while she is worried about whether the person who made the tackle will get injured.

Her unusual behavior attracted the attention of her best friend:

"Xixi, why do you suddenly want to watch a football game? Didn't you like basketball before?"

Shu Chang covered her ears with her hands. The noise made by the fans was so loud that she, who rarely came to watch games in person, felt extremely uncomfortable.

But Liu Yifei on the side seemed to be fine. She was watching very attentively and was not affected by the environment at all.

"No, I like football too, you just didn't realize it before!"

"Really? But why do I feel like you were only staring at one person throughout the game? Were you really watching the game?"

Shu Chang's sparkling eyes were full of gossip and curiosity.

A person who was not watching the game suddenly started watching it, and only stared at one of the players, and even had drastic emotional fluctuations when the other player fell!

This is wrong, so wrong!

The woman's intuition told her that there was something fishy going on.

Liu Yifei's eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly calmed down and said calmly:
"You think too much. I was just too absorbed in watching the game and got too deeply involved!"

After saying that, he pointed to the other fans around him and said to Shu Chang:
"Look, they are like this too, this is the real reaction of the fans watching the game."

"oh--!"

Shu Chang deliberately dragged out the ending tone and a sly smile appeared on his face.

Explanation is covering up. The more the other party explains, the more it proves that there is a problem.

Thinking of this, she quietly took out her mobile phone, typed in the words "Who is the No. 8 of the Chinese team" in the search bar of the web page, and started searching.

I want to see who this guy is that Xixi cares so much about!
……

After the Chinese national team contracted its formation, Bayern's offensive gradually lost its threat.

Although Hitzfeld wanted to use a strong attack to break through the Chinese national team's iron defense, the actual results did not seem ideal.

In the second half of the first half, in order to stop Bayern's attack, the Chinese national team obviously strengthened its control over the midfield.

Bayern's counterattack was also quite resolute. Under such intense control, players from both sides could not hold the ball.

As soon as he gets the ball, he will be pressed by several people around him. If he passes the ball a little slowly, he will be tackled to the ground. In this situation, let alone organizing an attack, it will be difficult for him to control the ball.

Watching the players of the two teams fighting hard on the field, although no new goals were scored, the more than 50,000 fans at the scene watched with gusto!
How can scoring a goal be as exciting as this kind of 'hand-to-hand combat'!
The most important thing is that the Chinese national football team did not suffer any loss in this decisive battle.

The players who fell were mostly Bayern players rather than the Chinese national team players. In the eyes of the fans, this was already a victory.

Although the Chinese national football team paid the price of several yellow cards for this, in their opinion, it was all worth it!
The first half of the game ended quickly in the melee between the two sides.

The score on the field is still 1:1, and the two sides are temporarily tied.

However, judging from the scene and the data, Bayern undoubtedly dominated the game in the first half.

Throughout the first half, the Chinese national team only had 29% ball possession and a pitiful 3 shots.

Bayern had 71% possession and 11 shots.

The only thing that the Chinese national team has more than Bayern is the number of fouls and yellow cards.

Judging from the situation on the field and the game data, the Chinese national football team's disadvantage is obvious.

Their actual strength is about half a level weaker than Bayern.

"Bayern is really strong. Each of their players is like a pervert. It is impossible to defend against them one-on-one!"

"Who says it's not true? Ribery is fast and has great footwork. Every time he breaks through, it's hard to defend against him!"

Sun Jihai still feels frightened when recalling Ribery's several breakthroughs on the wing in the first half.

Too fast and too flexible to be defended against.

The last time he felt this way was with Chelsea winger Robben.

That's a very perverted guy too!

"The Klose in the penalty area is also very strong. And the other center forward of the other team, Toni, is tall and strong, has strong impact, has skilled footwork, and can pass the ball to his teammates. He is simply the template of a perfect center forward!"

"One of them holds the World Cup Golden Boot, and the other is a major contributor to Italy's World Cup victory. Do you think I'm kidding you?"

"Tsk tsk, then Xiao Feng and I can be considered as a defense line that has passed the test of the world's top shooters!"

The biggest benefit of equalizing the score in the first half was that the players' emotions and confidence were not affected too much.

If the Chinese team was behind at this time, the atmosphere in the locker room would definitely not be so relaxed. (End of this chapter)
