Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

"The slow-motion replay shows that the ball did not appear to be offside; it must have been a refereeing mistake!"

"Perhaps the linesman didn't see it clearly. After all, the two players were very close together, so it's normal for him to make a mistake."

After watching the replay, the commentators all expressed sympathy for Real Madrid's plight.

However, in such cases, one can only accept their bad luck, as the referee's decision is generally not changed once it is made.

As expected, Real Madrid's protest was ineffective, and after communicating with the linesman, the referee upheld the original decision.

Real Madrid, having missed their chance, continued their attack on Barcelona, ​​but their impatience prevented them from finding an opening.

In the 12th minute, Barcelona found an attacking opportunity in the attacking third, and the ball was passed to Messi's feet.

Messi received the ball and charged into the penalty area. He was as agile as a flea, and several Real Madrid defenders couldn't stop him. He broke into the penalty area and took a shot.

Although the ball didn't go in, Messi's unreasonable breakthrough still shocked everyone at Real Madrid!

This kid has improved again. He wasn't this tough when we played against him last season!

Cannavaro was still shaken; dribbling past opponents on the football field is inherently a difficult task.

We are all professional players, and the gap between us is not that big.

Therefore, even one-on-one attempts to dribble past an opponent often fail, let alone the more difficult continuous dribbling.

To achieve continuous dribbling past opponents, one needs to integrate their body, strength, footwork, vision, and awareness into a unified whole.

This requirement is extremely demanding, even for top-tier players.

But these demanding requirements are like eating and drinking to Messi; they're practically instinctive for him.

Sudden stops, changes of direction, and spikes—these are just a few simple, basic moves, yet they unleash tremendous power under his feet.

You know what he's going to do, but you just can't keep up with his pace, and in the end, he ruthlessly gets past you.

Cannavaro is already considered one of the top center-backs in football, but he still finds it very difficult to defend against Messi and needs his teammates to assist him.

Sometimes, even when teammates come to help, they may not be able to stop the opponent.

How could this not shock him!
Messi is only 20 years old this year, and he has already shown such great strength. In a few years, when he has accumulated more experience, his skills are more mature, and his physical functions have reached their peak, I really don't know who will be able to stop him!

Tens of thousands of Barcelona fans at Camp Nou were cheering for Messi's brilliant performance. This season, with Messi's continued brilliance, his popularity within the Barcelona team is soaring.

He has even completely surpassed Ronaldinho and become the most beloved player among Barcelona fans.

Many people see the shadow of Maradona in Messi.

This has given Barcelona fans even higher hopes for Messi, who can inherit his predecessor's mantle, become the new king of football, and lead Barcelona to glory, completely overtaking Real Madrid next door.

Messi enjoys the applause and cheers from the fans in the stadium, as this feeling excites his body and helps him perform at his best.

However, just as he was about to press on and continue to show off his dribbling skills, Lin Feng responded with an answer ball in response to his performance!

In the 13th minute, Lin Feng received the ball in the attacking third and, after a series of one-two passes with teammates such as Raul and Van Nistelrooy, dribbled into the penalty area.

Barcelona's defense was thrown into disarray, with no one able to keep up with Lin Feng's speed. Lin Feng seized the opportunity, made a slight adjustment on the left side of the penalty area, and then decisively took a shot.

Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes has already surrendered, because he was positioned too close to the other side, making it impossible for him to save Lin Feng's shot.

However, just as the Barcelona fans at the scene closed their eyes in despair, their savior stepped forward.

Despite the risk of injury, Feng Xiaoting desperately dove to block the ball, finally clearing it off the goal line.

Although the ball was destroyed, he himself was also thrown hard into the post due to the enormous inertia.

Lin Feng was closest and immediately went to check on the injuries.

"Dude, do you have to push yourself so hard? Aren't you afraid of injuring yourself and having lasting health problems?"

Feng Xiaoting knocked down the pillar with his legs spread apart and his groin was exposed. Fortunately, he was not injured in any vital areas, otherwise it would have been a tragic story.

"Damn, we have no choice but to fight. How can we compete with these old guys for a starting position if we don't fight?"

Feng Xiaoting gasped in pain while forcing a smile.

The two were communicating in Chinese, leaving those around them completely bewildered, having no idea what they were whispering about.

Seeing that Feng Xiaoting's teammates had surrounded him, Lin Feng wisely withdrew from Barcelona's penalty area.

Some Chinese fans were at the match. When they saw that Feng Xiaoting was injured, they stood up anxiously, stood on tiptoe, and craned their necks to look at the Barcelona goal. They were genuinely afraid that something might happen to Feng Xiaoting.

The World Cup qualifiers are about to begin, and the Beijing Olympics are not far away.

As a key defender for both the national team and the Olympic team, Feng Xiaoting's injury and absence from these matches would have a significant negative impact on both teams.

The situation is a bit better for the national team. Besides Feng Xiaoting, there are some experienced veterans they can rely on.

But the situation is different for the national Olympic team, because there is simply no one who can replace Feng Xiaoting.

Fortunately, after Barcelona's team doctor examined Feng Xiaoting, he limped back onto the field.

Prolonged applause erupted from the crowd, as Barcelona fans expressed their respect for Feng Xiaoting.

If it weren't for his selfless save, the score would be 0-1 right now!
[That was such a pity! Those consecutive one-two passes were truly a feast for the eyes, it's just a shame the ball didn't go in!]

[It was actually a sure goal, but Xiao Feng cleared the ball.]

[Feng Xiaoting's performance was also outstanding. In that situation, if he had hesitated for even half a second out of fear of injury or for any other reason, it would have been too late!]

[Haha, that's what you call a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. Rijkaard dared to use him, and he dared to play him, even against top stars like Raul and Van Nistelrooy, he wasn't intimidated at all!]

[Oh dear, this is so difficult! Lin Feng is on one side, Feng Xiaoting on the other. I don't know who to support!]

Chinese fans watching the game are caught in a happy dilemma!

Seeing two Chinese players in the Spanish El Clásico, both starting, is unprecedented in Asia.

What's even more remarkable is that both of them performed exceptionally well.

Lin Feng's performance on the offensive end is impeccable, and he has posed a threat to Barcelona's defense on numerous occasions.

As a newcomer, Feng Xiaoting not only showed no stage fright in such an important occasion as the national derby, but also delivered such a brilliant clearance, which greatly surprised the fans.

So, the fans were caught in a happy dilemma, torn between their favorites and unsure which to support.

...The game continued, and Real Madrid were awarded a corner kick.

Lin Feng took a corner kick from the right wing, sending the ball into the penalty area.

Lin Feng deliberately let the ball pass the near post and lobbed it to the far post.

Pepe, who was originally outside the penalty area, suddenly rushed in and headed the ball at the goal from about 10 yards away, ahead of Puyol.

Unfortunately, the shot was too straight and fell right into Valdes' hands.

In the first 15 minutes of the match, Real Madrid had already taken three dangerous shots.

Although neither side's tight pressing gave the opponent any opportunity to organize a smooth attack, Lin Feng's performance was clearly much better than Ronaldinho's on Barcelona's side in this high-intensity confrontation and chaotic battle.

His dribbling, passing, and breakthroughs posed a huge threat to Barcelona's goal.

After conceding a goal, Lin Feng's excellent defensive awareness and aggressive pressing made him the first line of defense for Real Madrid, greatly expanding the depth of Real Madrid's defense and making it difficult for Barcelona's counterattacks to pose a threat.

On the sidelines, Mourinho's smile was harder to suppress than an AK!
Lin Feng was practically the perfect midfielder tailor-made for him, perfectly meeting all his requirements!

Rijkaard, on the other side, couldn't smile. The better Lin Feng performed, the greater the pressure on Barcelona.

Left with no other choice, he had to summon Yaya Toure to give him instructions in person.

After Yaya Toure returned, he did nothing but keep an eye on Lin Feng.

Yaya Toure is a well-known physical monster; he can run, fight, and has top-notch defensive abilities, making him a very difficult opponent.

With him on his radar, Lin Feng's performance was naturally affected considerably.

In the first 25 minutes of the match, the passing accuracy of both sides was less than 80%, and both sides made a number of mistakes.

In the 27th minute, Xavi saw an opportunity in the middle and tried to pass the ball to Eto'o.

That was a beautiful pass. With Eto'o's speed, once he receives the ball, he's likely to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

But Real Madrid's center-backs are no pushovers. Cannavaro anticipated Xavi's intentions, intercepted the ball before Eto'o could reach it, and quickly passed it to a teammate.

The situation on the field changed rapidly; what started as Barcelona's attack quickly turned into a Real Madrid counter-attack.

The moment Lin Feng tried to steal the ball from Cannavaro, he had already started making his run.

By the time Yaya Toure realized what was happening, he had already put several meters between himself and his opponent.

At that moment, his teammate passed the ball to Lin Feng's feet.

After receiving the ball, Lin Feng faked out Abilda with a move, then cut inside and got past Feng Xiaoting.

Puyol felt a chill run down his spine when he saw his two teammates get completely outmaneuvered in the blink of an eye.

But he couldn't retreat at this moment, because his opponent might fire a long-range shot at any time, and this distance was already within Lin Feng's shooting range.

With no other option, Puyol had to grit his teeth and charge forward, baring his teeth and making a fierce face in an attempt to intimidate his opponent.

But Lin Feng is someone who isn't even afraid of the Lion King Kahn, so why would he be afraid of this lion dog?
Seeing Puyol lower his center of gravity, Lin Feng made a motion to push the ball outward with his right foot.

Puyol remained unmoved, retreating while maintaining the distance between himself and Lin Feng, and keeping an eye on Lin Feng's center of gravity.

However, just as Puyol retreated, the ball that Lin Feng had flicked away with his right foot was hooked back by his right foot in an incredible way, and came to Lin Feng's left front.

At the same time, Lin Feng leaned forward and quickly thrust forward along the left side.

Puyol stared wide-eyed, like a wooden statue, barely making a move, before Lin Feng passed him!

Cow's tail!
It's actually a cow's tail!

Puyol turned around in disbelief, looking at the figure that had already disappeared into the distance.

Under his watchful eye, Lin Feng broke into the penalty area and, facing Valdes blocking the near post, calmly curled a shot into the far corner to score.

The score became 0-1.

You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth; Barcelona's goal was still breached by Lin Feng.

The stadium fell silent. Barcelona fans stared in disbelief at their own goal, and then at the Chinese man celebrating with his teammates.

"His move just now, it looks like Ronaldinho's signature 'cow tail' technique, doesn't it?"

"It seems so. It's a very beautiful cow tail. I'm afraid only Ronaldinho at his peak could pull it off. Right now, I'm afraid he can't..."

"Not only his tail, but this guy's shooting style is also imitating Henry!"

Barcelona fans felt like they'd swallowed a fly; they were incredibly upset.

It's one thing to concede a goal, but the key issue is that the two moves the opponent used were the signature techniques of our own players.

Ronaldinho's long-range shot and Henry's curling shot into the far corner—it seemed the opponents were deliberately humiliating them in their most effective methods.

Henry's expression changed slightly, and he looked somewhat gloomy.

During his time at Arsenal, he frequently used his speed and dribbling skills to launch such attacks down the left flank.

But since joining Barcelona, ​​Henry has been performing less and less on the left wing. He never expected to see his past self reflected in his opponent today, which made him feel somewhat complicated.

As for Xiao Luo, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Lin Feng make the cow tail gesture.

Although outsiders think Lin Feng's cow tail looks like his, to the true expert Xiao Luo, he could see at a glance that Lin Feng's cow tail had the shadow of Romario.

This guy seems to have merged himself with Romario's bull tail, making the bull tail more abrupt and practical.

This young man is truly remarkable!
The fans are right. If it were Ronaldinho in his prime, it wouldn't be difficult for him to complete a calfspin like that.

However, for Ronaldinho, whose form has declined significantly, it would be very difficult to use this tactic in actual combat.

Therefore, there was a hint of envy in his eyes when he looked at Lin Feng.

It’s great to be young!
Raul also envied Lin Feng, as he didn't get many chances to score in El Clásico.

Although he has played for Real Madrid for more than a decade, Raul has only scored 14 goals in nearly 40 El Clásico matches, averaging 0.4 goals per game, which is not a high scoring efficiency.

On the other hand, Lin Feng scored in his very first national derby, which is truly enviable.

Raul even suspected that if Lin Feng had played for Real Madrid for over a decade like him, he might have broken Di Stéfano's record of 18 goals in El Clásicos! (End of Chapter)
