Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

"Good post!"

After scoring the goal, the Ring King spoke as he passed by Lin Feng.

"That was a good shot!"

The two passed each other without exchanging glances, as if they had been talking to thin air.

But his teammates didn't care about any of that. They swarmed in from all directions, finding Raul who scored the goal and Lin Feng who provided the assist, wanting to celebrate the goal with them.

Then, this scene unfolded on the field: Lin Feng and Raul were each surrounded by a group of players.

"Brother Raul, that was a beautiful shot!"

"That's right, don't you know who our big brother is? He's Real Madrid's all-time top scorer! He's just messing with you!"

This is Ramos and others flattering Raul.

"Brother Lin, your breakthrough just now was really beautiful!"

Peipei transformed into Lin Feng's devoted fan, singing his praises:

"How did you manage that final assist? I was completely dumbfounded. You can pass the ball like that?"

Cannavaro nodded in agreement, but due to the angle of view, he couldn't see clearly how Lin Feng did it.

All I saw was the opposing two defenders rushing up together, and then the ball appeared at Raul's feet.

Only Atletico Madrid defender Perea knew what had just happened—he had been nutmegged!

The big screen at the stadium was replaying the goal that had just been scored. When Real Madrid fans saw Lin Feng pass the ball through Raul's legs, they all burst into laughter.

"Did you see Perea's expression? Haha, it's hilarious!"

Perea: Why do I feel a chill down there?

"To be honest, Lin Feng's pass was absolutely incredible. Perea was actually prepared for a nutmeg."

"Look closely, when he lunged for the ball, he consciously squeezed his legs together to avoid leaving too much of a gap. Logically, in that situation, it would be difficult for him to be groined, but unfortunately, he ran into Lin Feng!"

"That's right. Through this nutmeg pass, we can feel how terrifying Lin Feng is. His control over details and timing is perfect. If it were just a little off, the ball might not have gotten through!"

To be fair, Real Madrid fans, though discerning, are genuinely knowledgeable; they not only understand football but also appreciate the finer details.

After watching the replay just once, many people were able to reconstruct almost the entire process and even the details of Lin Feng's confrontation with the opposing defender!
It's no wonder they're a traditional football powerhouse; they have a lot of knowledgeable people about the sport.

"Pretty!"

Upon seeing Raul score, Mourinho on the sidelines let out an excited roar.

He clenched his fists and swung them forcefully a few times, as if to vent all the pent-up emotions in his heart.

Lin Feng certainly didn't disappoint me. His insight and control over counter-attack timing, speed and efficiency in advancing the ball, and ability to pass threatening balls to assist teammates are all perfect!
Although it was just one attack, Mourinho has already discovered a lot of good qualities in Lin Feng.

He became more and more satisfied with Lin Feng!

On the contrary, Mourinho found Raul's shot to be unremarkable and unremarkable.

For a top-tier marksman, if their teammates are practically feeding them a winning hand, why would they refuse?

Scoring that ball is normal; missing it would be abnormal.

……

Real Madrid's lightning-fast equalizer brought both sides back to square one.

Real Madrid gradually stabilized their position, slowly unleashing their true strength and starting to dominate Atletico Madrid.

Now, it was Atletico Madrid's players who started to feel uncomfortable.

Under Real Madrid's attack, Atletico Madrid's defense kept retreating and was gradually compressed into their own half.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and pushed past the opponent's half.

This is very un-Mourinho-like, but nobody finds it strange.

This is how football should be played at Real Madrid. What kind of hero would camp in their own half and park the bus?
Real Madrid fans want to see their team charge out and crush the enemy with dazzling attacks.

And in this match, Real Madrid played exactly as the fans had hoped.

Starting with Lin Feng, Real Madrid players began to press the opposing players relentlessly.

Atletico Madrid's players were dumbfounded: "No way, you're a billionaire, why are you humiliating yourself like this, doing the dirty and tiring work that only construction workers would be willing to do?"
Shouldn't you learn from your predecessor Zidane, who was incredibly powerful when attacking and completely invisible when defending?

Defense?

Defend my ass! Just give me a token glance!

But Lin Feng is clearly different from Zidane. Zidane's defensive ability is weak, so running away is pointless.

In addition, his age has led to a decline in physical fitness, and he is unwilling to run around much, which is why it seems as if he doesn't exist when defending.

Lin Feng is young and strong, with abundant physical strength and excellent running ability.

Most importantly, his defensive ability is far superior to Zidane's. Zidane is unwilling to run because he feels he is doing useless work, but Lin Feng's running can have an immediate effect.

Sure enough, under his pressing and interception, Atletico Madrid players found it difficult to even pass the ball.

Lin Feng's choice made Mourinho's eyes light up as he watched from the sidelines.

At that moment, he was absolutely certain that this was the woman of his dreams.

When attacking, Lin Feng is an attacking midfielder; when defending, he is almost equivalent to a defensive midfielder!

For one cent, you can do two jobs and do both jobs very well!

Who wouldn't love a player like that?

More importantly, if Lin Feng, the team's most valuable player, has gone to such lengths, it would be unreasonable for the rest of the team not to show some attitude!
So, under Lin Feng's lead, Diarra, Guti, Sneijder and others also joined in the pressing.

Their pressing tactics quickly paid off!
In the 21st minute, Pepe made a tackle in the attacking third.

Pepe remembered Mendes's instructions to him before the game, and after making the interception, he immediately passed the ball to Lin Feng.

In this match, he had no eyes for anyone else but Lin Feng!

After receiving the ball, Lin Feng only glanced up before swinging his leg and sending a long, over-the-top pass to his own striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was deep in the penalty area!
Well said!
Van Nistelrooy saw where the ball was going to land and was overjoyed. He shook off the Atletico Madrid defender marking him, leaped high, and headed the ball powerfully into the goal.

The score became 2-1, Real Madrid turned the tide!
Excited Real Madrid fans began singing the team anthem:

Limpia y blanca que no empaa
Pure white, sacred and inviolable.

Hala Madrid! Hala Madrid!
Forward to Madrid! Forward to Madrid!
……

"Lin, that pass was fantastic!"

After scoring, Van Nistelrooy immediately returned to celebrate with Lin Feng.

Having a teammate like that is so comfortable. He just stands in the penalty area and his teammates can just head the ball right at him.

It felt like he didn't even have to exert much effort, and he scored!
If every goal were this easy, Van Nistelrooy thinks he could defend his La Liga Golden Boot title this season!

"Your headers are also great. Can you teach me how to head the ball when we get back?"

"Of course, no problem, leave it to me!"

Fanny was just looking for a way to deepen his relationship with Lin Feng, and now that the other party had taken the initiative to make the request, he naturally agreed without hesitation.

After taking the lead, Real Madrid played with more composure.

Among them, Lin Feng, the new recruit, performed particularly well.

Whether in positional or open play, Real Madrid's number 8 player's influence on the game is evident.

When attacking, Lin Feng is Real Madrid's most reliable passing option in the frontcourt, and he can deliver a deadly pass at any time.

In defense, he transformed into Real Madrid's first line of defense, nipping many of the opponent's counterattacks in the bud with his aggressive pressing.

Although Lin Feng has not yet scored a goal, he has already won the unanimous recognition of the vast majority of Real Madrid fans!
If Real Madrid wins this match by this score, then he will be the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

It's a bit of a shame that he didn't score in his debut!

So, after Real Madrid took the lead, cheers erupted from the stands:

"Score one!"

"Lin Feng, score one!"

Hearing the cheers from the fans at the stadium, the two CCTV commentators couldn't help but exclaim:
"Lin Feng seems to be very popular with Real Madrid fans!"

"Given the lack of time to gel with the team, to deliver such a performance in his debut is commendable. I would give Lin Feng a score of 90 for his first game for Real Madrid!"

"Yes, it would be perfect if he could score a goal in the next game!"

……

Lin Feng heard the fans' cheers, but unfortunately his Spanish wasn't very fluent, so he could only hear the fans calling his name, but he didn't know what they were saying.

But after providing two assists in a row, Lin Feng consciously moved closer to the opponent's goal, wanting to try a few shots.

But his teammates, especially his Spanish teammates, didn't seem to want to see him score.

In the 33rd minute, Lin Feng broke through the middle and passed the ball to Guti on the side, intending to play a one-two with him.

However, after receiving the ball, Guti did not pass it back, but instead passed it to the wing and gave it to left-back Drenthe.

Drenthe crossed the ball into the box, but it was caught by the onrushing Atletico Madrid goalkeeper.

Lin Feng frowned and glanced at Guti.

The other person seemed to have a guilty conscience, and dared not look him in the eye, instead pretending to be nonchalant.

This deepened Lin Feng's suspicions, and in order to verify his guess, he tried it again later.

As before, the ball was passed to Guti, but it was like throwing a meat bun to a dog – gone forever.

"Hey, Guti's decision was a bit ill-considered. Lin Feng was clearly in a better position. If the ball had been passed to him, he could have taken a long-range shot!"

"Perhaps Guti didn't see Lin Feng's movement and didn't notice this opportunity!"

That's what they said, but the two commentators exchanged a glance and both saw deep worry in each other's eyes:
Some of Real Madrid's veteran players are trying to isolate Lin Feng!
They were still just speculating, but Lin Feng on the field was absolutely certain of it.

Okay, okay, so you want to play like this? Then don't expect me to pass you the ball anymore!

"Give me the ball!"

In the 42nd minute, Forlán's shot went wide of the goal.

Casillas passed the ball to Cannavaro, who was looking up to observe the positions of his teammates in the attacking third when he saw Lin Feng waving at him.

Seeing the opponent retreat from the attacking third to receive the ball in his own half, Cannavaro did not hesitate and quickly passed the ball over.

Atletico Madrid's number 16 player, Simão, rushed forward, but Lin Feng easily beat him with an extremely fast frittata.

Maxi rushed over from the side, trying to grab Lin Feng's jersey, but Lin Feng used a change of direction and acceleration to leave him behind.

Coming again?
Seeing Lin Feng dribble past two players in a short period of time, the Real Madrid fans in the stadium couldn't help but get excited.

At the start of the game, they witnessed Lin Feng dribbling past several players, and now they all hoped to see it again.

But Atletico Madrid clearly doesn't want to stumble over the same stone twice!
Perea and Peña exchanged a glance and joined forces once again.

And this time, they even called for Raul Garcia's support!

Three people double team!

Raul Garcia went straight for a sliding tackle, determined to stop Lin Feng outside the penalty area!

Real Madrid fans' expressions changed drastically, and they all exclaimed in surprise:
"careful!"

However, the noise at the scene was too loud, and their reminders were drowned out.

But just when they thought Lin Feng would be tackled by the opponent, Lin Feng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and noticed Garcia's movements in advance. With a nimble jump, he dodged the opponent's tackle.

good chance!
When Atletico Madrid's full-back Peña saw the ball slip out of Lin Feng's control, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to get to the ball first.

But he underestimated Lin Feng's speed. After landing, Lin Feng pushed off the ground with a sudden burst of speed, his body shooting out like an arrow, and he managed to deflect the ball away before his opponent could react.

But his interference was effective; after the ball was flicked laterally, Lin Feng's speed had to slow down.

Perea braced himself, put his hands behind his back, and stared intently at the ball at Lin Feng's feet, not giving the opponent any opportunity to take advantage.

Without speed, how are you going to get past me?
I only need to wait one more second, and the teammates you passed earlier will catch up and form a double team again.

This time, having lost your speed, you will have no chance of escape.

In an instant, Perea understood the situation on the field and knew that if he could stop the opponent's forward charge, he could defend against Real Madrid's attack.

At the crucial moment, Lin Feng made his move!
Suddenly, he flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, while simultaneously swaying his body to the right.

Should we break through from our left side?

Perea sensed something and quickly shifted his weight to the left.

But just as he was adjusting his center of gravity, he saw that the ball did not roll to his left. Instead, it seemed to be stuck to Lin Feng's right foot and rolled to his right as Lin Feng pulled his right foot back.

Perea's eyes widened in disbelief!

This is……

Ox tail?
Having lost his center of gravity, he was like a wooden stake, forced to stand still in place.

There's nothing left to stop Lin Feng's advance!

His partner, the other center-back Pablo, never expected his teammate to be beaten so quickly and had no time to cover.

Lin Feng, having successfully dribbled past his opponent, stormed into the penalty area and easily won a one-on-one duel with the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper.

The score became 3-1. After conceding an unexpected goal at the start, Real Madrid scored three goals in a row, completely overwhelming Atletico Madrid!

But at that moment, no one, including the players from both sides and the tens of thousands of fans in the stadium, paid attention to the goal.

All anyone could think about was Lin Feng's cow tail from earlier!

How could anyone use a cow's tail to this extent?

Even Ronaldinho in 05 couldn't do that, right? (End of Chapter)
