Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

In fact, the first half of the game was a great success for the Chinese national team. The strength of the top clubs is actually stronger than that of the national team.

Because the players in the club have spent more time together, not only is the cooperation between the players more tacit, but the technical and tactical play prepared by the coaching staff are also much richer.

Although there are many new players in Bayern's lineup, the pressure brought to them by the opponent is still greater than that of the German team.

Competing with such high-level opponents will help the Chinese national football team broaden its horizons and understand the most advanced technical and tactical play in world football.

For example, Bayern's pressing style of play in the frontcourt is very worthy of learning and reference for the Chinese national team.

Although this tactic is useless against strong teams, if you encounter a weaker team than them, using this tactic to suppress the opponent or even increase the goal difference is a good choice.

Of course, if the Chinese national football team wants to make progress, it still needs to compete more with high-level opponents.

You can't always hang out with bad chess players. If you do that it will be difficult to improve your own level and you may even regress.

Except for a few teams such as Japan and South Korea, the level of Asian football is generally low.

If the Chinese national football team only focuses on Asia, then their current level is barely enough and it is not particularly difficult for them to get a ticket to the World Cup.

However, if the strength of the Chinese national football team cannot continue to improve, then even if it is lucky enough to get a ticket to the World Cup, it will most likely only be eliminated in the first round of the group stage and it will be difficult to enter the knockout stage.

Zhu Guanghu's ambition obviously goes beyond that. With a group of the best players in the history of the Chinese national football team, such as Lin Feng, he really wants to lead the Chinese national football team to achieve greater breakthroughs in the World Cup, thereby surpassing Milu in one fell swoop and becoming the number one coach in the history of the Chinese national football team!
In order to achieve this goal, he has already planned the overseas warm-up arrangements for the national football team in the second half of the year.

Winters in Europe are relatively warm, especially in the countries along the Mediterranean coast. Not only is the climate warm, but the level of football is also high.

In the past two years, the Chinese national football team has played against European powerhouses such as Germany, France and Switzerland.

But they have not played against strong southern European teams such as Spain and Italy.

If there is a chance, Zhu Guanghu would like to arrange a game with these teams.

This might have been difficult a few years ago, but it is much easier now.

The styles of these traditional football powers in Europe are all different. By playing more games with them, you can see the different football styles in different regions.

In this way, when we encounter a team with a similar style on the field in the future, we won’t be so flustered.

The second half of the game began. Just when the audience thought the game would be the same as the first half, with the Chinese national team shrinking their defense and Bayern pressing forward to attack, the Chinese national team took the initiative to launch an attack!

In the 46th minute, Lin Feng suddenly accelerated in the midfield, passed the defender, and passed the ball to the left.

On the left side, the Chinese national team's left-back Sun Xiang has already assisted.

After receiving the pass from Lin Feng, Sun Xiang did not wait for Bayern's left-back Sagnol to rush over. He suddenly accelerated and completed the cross before the opponent could interfere.

Dong Fangzhuo struggled to get the ball in the penalty area, but facing Lucio's close defense, he had no way to complete the shot and could only pass the ball back to his teammate outside the penalty area.

As soon as Chen Tao received the pass from his teammate, the Bayern players in the penalty area rushed towards him.

Chen Tao saw Lin Feng on his left side out of the corner of his eye and immediately passed the ball to him.

Lin Feng's position was further back than Chen Tao. When they saw Chen Tao's pass, the Bayern players thought the danger was over and immediately pressed forward, trying to regain the ball and launch a counterattack.

The opponent had finally attacked. If they could seize this opportunity to launch a counterattack, they would have a great chance of scoring a goal.

However, just as Bayern's players rushed out, Lin Feng did not continue to pass the ball back as they expected, but unexpectedly sent a straight pass into Bayern's penalty area.

No, how dare you put it in?
You are too brave!

The fans at the scene were collectively shocked when they saw Lin Feng's move.

The opponent has so many people near the penalty area. If we put the ball into the penalty area at this time, wouldn't it be giving the ball to the opponent?
I'm still too anxious!
After seeing this scene, the two commentators from Hong Kong TV sighed in their hearts just like the fans.

In this situation, it is not impossible to pass the ball into the penalty area, but the possibility is really too low.

The bespectacled commentator sighed and said:

"Lin Feng is a little too anxious. This ball can't be passed..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his companion beside him:

"Gao Lin! He received the pass from Lin Feng in an open position!"

"Shoot!"

"The ball is in!"

"The Chinese team turned the score around at the start of the second half. The goal was scored by Gao Lin, and the assist was made by the national team's No. 8 player Lin Feng!"

"When everyone thought it was impossible, Lin Feng stood up and proved with his actions that it was not impossible, but that others could not do it!"

Although he was slapped in the face, the commentator wearing glasses did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he was as excited as his partner and danced with joy:

"This pass was so beautiful, the timing and accuracy were perfect. I'm afraid no one in the national football team except Lin Feng can make such a wonderful pass!"

"Yes, let alone the Chinese national team, even if Bayern Munich were combined, it's not certain that anyone could complete this kind of pass!"

On the court, when Gao Lin saw the ball rolling into the net, he was as excited as a 200-pound child and performed a passionate Klinsmann gliding celebration on the lawn.

Although some people compared him to Klinsmann before, that was just a joke.

However, now he really has some of the style of the Golden Bomber.

Seeing Gao Lin's celebration, his teammates followed suit and glided along the grass behind him.

The scene of seven or eight players gliding close to the ground together looks quite spectacular!
There was thunderous applause and cheers reaching the sky.

The fans were even more excited than the players on the field. They shouted the names of the players at the top of their lungs, wishing they could jump into the field and celebrate with the players.

No matter what the final result of this game is, being able to witness such a wonderful goal in person is worth the price of the ticket!
It was the first time for Shu Chang and Liu Yifei to watch a game in person, and it was also the first time for them to feel such an explosive atmosphere.

Liu Yifei was better off. She had watched NBA games in the United States before and was a little mentally prepared.

Shu Chang had no such experience at all. When Gao Lin scored a goal, the noise that broke out at the scene almost deafened her ears.

She doesn't know much about football, but she was shocked!

"Xixi, was that goal just now scored by your boyfriend?"

The two of them were a bit far from the court, and Shu Chang didn't know much about football.

She only saw Lin Feng kick the ball out and then the ball went in. She didn't see clearly who scored the goal.

Liu Yifei shook her head: "The ball was scored by someone else, he was the one who assisted!"

After saying this, I realized that I had been fooled.

Shu Chang didn't give her a chance to explain. Seeing that she had been fooled, he immediately started to pursue her: "Tsk tsk, are you finally willing to admit it? You are such a good Sissi, how long do you want to keep it from me!"

"Tell me the truth, when did you start dating him?"

Liu Yifei felt her cheeks getting hot, and she felt ashamed as if she had done something bad and was caught by her parents.

She lowered her head, blushed and said in a low voice:

"No, we're not dating. We're just ordinary friends. We've only known each other for a few days!"

When Shu Chang heard this, he had an expression that said, "Do I look like a three-year-old child?" and it was obvious that he didn't believe what she said.

As far as she could remember, she had never heard Liu Yifei say that she liked football.

But now, she actually knows who scored the goal and who gave the assist.

This shows that she must have spent some time privately to understand the rules of football, otherwise she would be like me, a real football blind, who can only watch the fun and can't even tell who is who on the field.

"You must be kidding. We've only known each other for a few days. Will he send you tickets?"

"Don't say you bought the ticket yourself. I came to Hong Kong with you and we were inseparable the whole time. You didn't have time to go out and buy the ticket.

And I checked online, the tickets for this game were sold out a month ago, even if you have time to go out you can't buy a ticket, so your ticket must have been booked a month in advance, or someone gave it to you!"

Shu Chang was like a famous detective, and his analysis left Liu Yifei speechless.

This seems to be hard to explain!
But what she said was obviously true!

It’s true that she and Lin Feng had just known each other for a short time, and although they held hands once, could they be boyfriend and girlfriend?

"Okay, stop making excuses. If you don't like him, then when I asked you, 'Was it your boyfriend who called?' your first reaction wouldn't be to subconsciously agree, but to correct me the first time."

Yes, is that so?
Liu Yifei felt a little confused. Why did she feel that the other party's analysis made sense?

Could it be that I really like that guy?

……

"Gao Lin scored a beautiful goal. Of course, we also have to praise Lin Feng for his good pass!"

Inside the CCTV studio, even though the game had resumed, the two commentators were still too excited to calm down.

"Yes, the reason why Lin Feng took the risk to send out such a through ball just now was because he saw the loopholes exposed in Bayern's defense.

Gao Lin's presence in that position shows that he has discovered this loophole, which is enough to prove how high Gao Lin's basketball IQ and awareness are! "

"Gao Lin's skills have improved a lot in the past year, but he still doesn't seem to like standing in the penalty area and physically confronting the opposing defenders. This may need to be improved. No matter which era, a center with the ability to play the ball is always a hot commodity in the transfer market!"

Dong Fangzhuo is willing to stand in the penalty area and fight with the opponent's defenders, but his ball-handling ability and footwork are much worse than Gao Lin's.

It would be great if we could combine the advantages of these two people!

Gao Lin's goal subtly changed the situation of the game. Bayern players found it difficult to accept that their team fell behind.

In their opinion, the other side is just a weak team. Only Lin Feng in the team has the strength to meet the standard of Bayern's starting lineup. The other players will have a hard time even being substitutes for Bayern.

However, it is such a weak team that is now ahead of them in the score.

Where can they put their face?
So, when the game resumed, Bayern players played with full spirit and truly treated the Chinese team as a strong opponent!

Feeling the change in the momentum of Bayern players, the Chinese national team hurriedly contracted their formation and dug into the fence, vowing to defend the one-point lead to the end.

In the 54th minute, the Chinese national team made a mistake in defense. After receiving the pass from Oter's teammate, he shot from an open space 30 meters in front of the goal!

Although it was far away from the goal, the opponent's kick was of high quality and the football went straight to the goal!

At the critical moment, Chinese national football team goalkeeper Chen Dong stepped up and flew to save the ball.

But just four minutes later, at almost the same position, Bayern's other midfielder Schweinsteiger also took a long shot, but Schweinsteiger's long shot failed to be suppressed and the ball flew away.

During this period, the Chinese national team was under great defensive pressure. Seeing that the Chinese national team had accumulated a large number of troops in the penalty area, Bayern continued to threaten the Chinese team's goal with long shots from the outside.

The German players' long-range shots are really amazing, especially their midfielders, almost everyone of them has an excellent long-range shot.

However, the German team had long shots and the Chinese team also had counterattacks.

The opponent pressed too deep, giving the Chinese national team many counterattack opportunities in the second half.

Although Lin Feng was the main target of Bayern, he still made several accurate long passes to Qu Bo.

But unfortunately, Qu Bo was tightly entangled by Ram and could not get rid of the opponent, so his speed advantage could not be brought into play.

However, he was no match for Lahm in a one-on-one duel, which made the Chinese national team's plan to use Qu Bo fail.

Seeing this, Zhu Guanghu chose to replace Dong Fangzhuo with a defensive midfielder to strengthen the defense.

His original intention of making this substitution was to strengthen the interception in the backcourt and enhance the protection of the back line.

But after Dong Fangzhuo left the field, Gao Lin was the only one left on the front line.

Naturally, he could not restrict the opponent's central defender from passing the ball as effectively as before, so Lucio, who had long been unable to suppress his desire to attack, rushed forward with the ball.

In the 69th minute, Lucio dribbled the ball through the midfield and made a long pass. Klose broke into the penalty area after offside, but the goalkeeper blocked the ball one step ahead.

Three minutes later, Ribery broke into the left side of the penalty area and was tackled by Sun Jihai.

Bayern took a tactical corner kick on the left side. Ribery received the pass from his teammate and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

The tall Lucio overpowered Feng Xiaoting to get the ball, then headed the ball into the Chinese team's goal.

The score became 2:2, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

After that, Bayern besieged the Chinese national team's goal for a long time and tried many shots, but none of them worked.

The Chinese national team also missed a great opportunity. In the 82nd minute, after the team intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Lin Feng ran all the way into the penalty area, and facing the attacking Kahn, he chose to push the ball into the far corner.

But because he was too focused on the angle, the ball hit the post and bounced out.

The pressure exerted by Kahn was still too great. If it was another goalkeeper, Lin Feng would not have been so deliberate in pursuing the angle just now, and the ball would have most likely been scored!
After that, the two sides made no further progress and finally shook hands and made peace.

Although it was a bit regrettable that we missed the chance to score the winning goal, we were able to defend our home court and force a draw with the opponent given the huge disparity in strength between the two sides.

This result is satisfying for the national football team, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV.

At least after being tested by a top team like Bayern, everyone has more confidence in the upcoming Asian Cup! (End of this chapter)
