Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

The moment the halftime whistle blew, Luzhniki Stadium had completely transformed into Real Madrid's home ground.

Heartbroken Manchester United fans left the stadium in despair, leaving Real Madrid fans celebrating.

Amidst a flurry of colorful ribbons, Lin Feng approached Cristiano Ronaldo and offered to exchange jerseys with him.

Cristiano Ronaldo was somewhat taken aback, but he did not refuse.

After the exchange was completed, Lin Feng draped the Manchester United jersey over his shoulder and smiled at Ronaldo, saying:

"See you next year!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was also spurred on by these words: "Yeah, see you in the Champions League next year!"

At the same time, I secretly made up my mind: I must defeat you next time!
……

On the sidelines, Mourinho walked over to the Manchester United bench to shake hands with Ferguson.

Ferguson felt disgusted when he saw Mourinho's smug look.

But I still forced myself to offer a congratulatory message that didn't come from my heart:

"Congratulations on winning your tenth Champions League trophy in the club's history! Winning it in your first year as manager is truly remarkable!"

As he said this, Ferguson's gaze remained fixed on Lin Feng on the field.

That was as if to say that Mourinho's victory was not due to his own strength, but entirely due to Lin Feng.

Mourinho sensed Ferguson's insincerity and was completely unfazed by his sarcastic remarks; in fact, he became even more smug.
"Sigh, it's nothing special. I didn't do anything special. It was all thanks to the players and good luck!"

He had never coached a superstar before, so he didn't know how good a superstar was.

But after working with Lin Feng for a year, Mourinho had fallen in love with the feeling of being carried by someone else.

Who wouldn't love having a superstar on the team who can perfectly adapt to all their requirements and bring out 200% of their tactical effectiveness?

"Humph!"

Ferguson snorted and turned away, ignoring Mourinho.

This guy is getting more and more annoying the more I look at him.

And what did he mean by "good luck"?
Is it because they look down on Manchester United, think they are weak, and that meeting them in the final is a stroke of luck?
In fact, Manchester United is by no means weak. As the strongest team in the top five leagues this year, Manchester United is definitely the strongest opponent Real Madrid has encountered on their journey.

If Real Madrid were to face Manchester United in their first knockout match, the odds would be even, and it wouldn't be easy for Real Madrid to win.

Real Madrid were very lucky, facing Chelsea first and then Liverpool in the knockout stage.

Facing two Premier League teams in a row almost fully charged Real Madrid's energy, and also allowed them to get used to the Premier League teams' style of play ahead of time.

Therefore, when Real Madrid faced Manchester United, the Premier League champions, in the final, they were in top form and had extensive experience dealing with Premier League teams.

……

With his brace in the final, Lin Feng was voted the best player of the final by a large margin.

He has scored 14 goals in the Champions League this season, along with 10 assists, thus retaining his titles as the Champions League Golden Boot winner and top assist provider.

Last year at Inter Milan, Lin Feng delivered a record of 13 goals and 9 assists, and this year he has improved even further.

However, he missed two Champions League group stage matches this year, both of which were likely to be high-scoring games against weaker teams.

Therefore, this data does not represent his upper limit. If Lin Feng is determined to boost his data, he can certainly make the data even more impressive.

However, Lin Feng didn't care about this. Personal honors are not that important compared to team honors. After all, he is a GOAT and won't keep staring at the data.

The person presenting the Champions League awards was once again a familiar face – FIFA President Sepp Blatter.

"Hehe, Lin, we meet again. Your performance today really impressed me!"

When Blatter presented awards to other players, he would wear the medals before shaking hands.

But when it came time to present the award to Lin Feng, he took the initiative to hug Lin Feng and started chatting with him.

"Mr. Chairman, you flatter me. The fact that we've met so many times shows how dedicated and responsible you are, and it also shows that we are destined to meet!"

Lin Feng thought back carefully and realized that he had seen Blatter quite a few times in the past year.

Last May, the Champions League trophy was presented to me by my opponent, and the Asian Cup trophy was also presented to me by my opponent in August.

At the end of the year, the Ballon d'Or in December was also presented jointly by the other side and Pelé.

"Haha, the honors and achievements you've made this year must be the envy of many players. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see your outstanding performance at this year's Olympics!"

Blatter grew increasingly satisfied with Lin Feng.

Back when Lin Feng hadn't yet achieved any honors, he was already actively promoting Lin Feng within FIFA, using Lin Feng and Kaka as role models for the new generation of players, hoping that all players, especially young players, would learn from them.

Now, two years later, Lin Feng's development and achievements have far exceeded Blatter's initial expectations.

The benefit of this is that, as Lin Feng's personal influence continues to grow, more and more young players regard him as their idol and learn from him.

Compared to South American players who have excellent skills but too many off-field scandals or even negative news, FIFA naturally prefers young players to learn from players like Lin Feng who have both good character and sportsmanship.

This will greatly help improve the image of football in the minds of the general public and change some of the negative stereotypes of the past.

What surprised him even more was that a bunch of young talents emerged in the football world during Lin Feng's generation.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United and Lionel Messi of Barcelona are both excellent players and have the ability to compete with Lin Feng. This prevents Lin Feng from becoming too invincible and turning the football world into a one-man show for him.

Competition creates suspense, and suspense attracts and retains more fans.

Riding the wave of the internet, football is bound to reach its peak under his leadership.

……

Real Madrid wins their tenth Champions League title, becoming the best team in Europe!

Real Madrid defeats Manchester United to win the Champions League trophy again after six years!

The 100 million gamble finally pays off, with Lin Feng becoming Real Madrid's biggest contributor to their title win!

Fourteen goals and ten assists: Lin Feng breaks the Champions League goal record once again!

Calderon: Lin Feng is worth far more than 100 million!

……

Real Madrid's victory caused a huge sensation in European football.

Whether it was their big-money signings at the start of the season or their impressive run in the middle of the season, Real Madrid has consistently been a prominent presence in the news across Europe, attracting considerable attention.

Initially, people were not optimistic about how much Lin Feng's arrival would help Real Madrid, after all, there were countless top stars who had joined Real Madrid in the past few years.

But these people did not bring any glory to Real Madrid; instead, they left a mess behind.

Judging solely from an honors perspective, Florentino Pérez's first Galácticos era was undoubtedly a failure. Before them, Real Madrid won the Champions League twice in three years; after them, apart from their first Champions League victory, Real Madrid's performance deteriorated in the following years, even falling to the point of finishing in the Round of 16!

So at the beginning of the season, when it was learned that Real Madrid had spent a sky-high transfer fee to bring in Lin Feng, hoping to build the second Galácticos, very few people were optimistic about it. Most people thought that Real Madrid was just wasting money again.

One hundred million euros to buy a nineteen-year-old?

When they heard this news, many people thought they were crazy, otherwise they wouldn't have seen such outrageous news.

However, after a season, the doubts from the outside world have long since vanished due to Lin Feng's phenomenal performance.

After Real Madrid's dominant league title defense, the value of this transfer has been recognized by the outside world, who acknowledge that his arrival has greatly helped Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid's goal has always been the Champions League. If they don't win the Champions League, then the honors they have achieved in the league and cup competitions are completely insignificant.

Last season, Real Madrid were already the league champions before Lin Feng arrived. If they only win the league title this season, then Lin Feng's arrival was in vain.
But now, with Lin Feng leading the team to help Real Madrid realize their dream and win the Champions League trophy they had been longing for, all the doubts have completely disappeared.

There's no longer any reason for outsiders to criticize this transfer!
As for Mourinho, after leading two different teams to the Champions League trophy within four years.

He has already achieved legendary status, directly joining the ranks of the world's top coaches.

Although his team's style of play isn't very attractive, it really works!
Defense really can win you a championship!

However, this seems somewhat difficult for Chelsea fans to accept.

Mourinho won titles with Porto and Real Madrid, but not with Chelsea.

Winning the championship isn't scary; the real embarrassment is when someone is missing!
Since Mourinho has already proven his ability at Porto and Real Madrid, then it's not his problem.

So, whose fault is it?
So hard to guess!

Deeply affected, Abu couldn't help but begin to doubt himself:

Isn't the problem with Mourinho?
Was it their own reckless interference and meddling that caused Chelsea to fail to win the Champions League?

Abramovich's desire for the Champions League has almost reached a point of madness.

Despite winning two league titles in recent years, Chelsea, lacking Champions League honors, cannot be considered a true powerhouse; they are merely a nouveau riche.

Furthermore, their money-driven football has earned them the disdain of many Premier League fans, who believe they have corrupted the football scene and inflated player prices.

In recent years, transfer fees in football have skyrocketed, and players' annual salaries have become increasingly outrageous. This has led to players like Lin Feng, whose transfer fees have exceeded 100 million euros. It's hard to say that Chelsea's big-money football has not been a factor in this.

Abu was so wronged!

Serie A and Real Madrid were the ones who started burning money first, so why are they always the ones getting the blame?

The key point is that even after all the criticism, they didn't gain any honors in the end. It was a huge loss to be criticized like that.

Spurred on, Abramovich resolved to bring the best coaches and players to Stamford Bridge.

He couldn't wait any longer and wished he could kick Real Madrid off the podium immediately and replace them with his beloved Chelsea!

Chelsea wasn't the only one affected; Real Madrid's arch-rival Barcelona was also provoked.

Immediately after the match, the Barcelona board of directors held an emergency meeting.

The result of the meeting was that they would provide stronger support to the new coach Guardiola, requiring him to improve Barcelona's fighting power to the point where they could compete with Real Madrid, or even suppress them.

To achieve this effect, the team's existing roster must be significantly strengthened.

Therefore, even before the transfer window officially opened, rumors circulated that Barcelona was about to make a big move.

With Real Madrid securing their tenth Champions League title, Chelsea and Barcelona are sharpening their knives, ready to make a big splash.

Other powerful families, whether by choice or by force, have also been affected and have had to join this arms race.

The 07-08 season has just ended, and there is still more than a month before the summer transfer window.

But the major clubs have already started getting busy, searching the world for outstanding players who are suitable for their teams.

This year's transfer market is sure to be very exciting!
……

The day after winning the championship, Real Madrid returned to Madrid with the trophy.

There were so many fans who came to greet them that they were impossible to count, and the crowd stretched from the airport all the way to the city center.

Wherever Real Madrid's team bus went, it was met with huge crowds.

Even the star players on the team, who were used to big events, were shocked by this scene.

"My goodness, has everyone in Madrid come? There are so many people!"

"This is insane! I feel like there are at least hundreds of thousands of people outside!"

"We didn't see this many people at our last championship celebration and parade, did we?"

"Last time, it was mainly fans from Madrid and the surrounding area who came, but this time, fans from all over the world might have turned out!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment. As the most successful and influential powerhouse in football.

Real Madrid has a huge influence all over the world, with fans all over the globe.

If fans from all over the world were to come on a pilgrimage, the huge city of Madrid probably wouldn't be able to contain them all!

"As expected, the influence of the Champions League is on a completely different level from that of the league!"

Therefore, everyone could only sigh repeatedly, although they had tried their best to amplify the impact of the tenth Champions League trophy on Real Madrid, they still found that they had underestimated this impact.

This is not even the most exaggerated part, because it has only been six years since Real Madrid won the last Champions League trophy, and Real Madrid fans have not waited long enough.

But in real history, Real Madrid fans waited a full 12 years to finally win this coveted championship trophy.

That was truly insane!

To commemorate their achievements and to display the championship trophy and share the joy with fans.

Real Madrid not only held a special tenth title celebration at the Bernabéu, but also had a two-day parade of floats in the Madrid region.

Lin Feng, Raul, and others each held one of Real Madrid's ten Champions League trophies, as if showing off their medals, to the fans and the world to boast about Real Madrid's achievements and honors.

What does it mean to be the world's number one powerhouse?
During this period, Real Madrid fans became the most hated people in football, without exception.

Because they ask everyone they meet:

Are you from a wealthy family?

How many Champions League trophies do you have at home?
No, no!

These days, is there anyone whose family doesn't even have ten Champions League trophies?

Fans from other teams were already considered good-natured if they didn't beat them up on the spot after hearing those words.

On May 27th, after a series of victory celebrations, Lin Feng, exhausted, boarded a plane back to China to prepare for a series of Olympic activities. (End of Chapter)
