Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

In the 85th minute, under intense pressure from Real Madrid's midfielders, Iniesta had to pass the ball back to Xavi to allow him to control the tempo and reorganize the attack.

But his intentions had already been anticipated by Real Madrid players. The moment Iniesta completed the pass, Lin Feng suddenly appeared from the side and intercepted the ball.

The moment Lin Feng intercepted the ball, the situation on the field changed.

"Get the ball back quickly!"

When Guardiola saw that the ball had fallen to Lin Feng's feet, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Although Lin Feng doesn't always manage to score those incredible goals every time he gets possession of the ball.

But there's no doubt this guy possesses that ability.

Similar scenarios have played out at least twice at Camp Nou alone.

Having suffered two consecutive losses, Guardiola couldn't help but feel nervous.

In fact, it wasn't just Guardiola himself; when he saw the ball fall to Lin Feng, the hearts of the 90,000 Barcelona fans at Camp Nou also clenched, and they felt a strange sense of unease.

No way, is that kind of bad thing going to happen again?
They guessed it right!
After intercepting the ball, Lin Feng dodged Xavi's challenge and sprinted down the middle towards Barcelona's half.

This scene was very similar to Lin Feng's goal in the first half, causing many Barcelona fans to instinctively stand up and feel extremely tense.

Seeing Harvey get past him, Busquets gritted his teeth and charged toward Lin Feng. He knew he couldn't let Lin Feng get ahead; once he accelerated, it would be almost impossible to stop him.

However, relying solely on his own abilities, Busquets was not confident that he could defend against Lin Feng single-handedly.

So there's only one option left: a tactical foul!
However, Lin Feng had already anticipated the opponent's intentions, and just as Busquets approached him, Lin Feng passed the ball out!

A white figure sped past on the left side of the rib area.

Higuain felt like his lungs were about to explode; every breath was extremely painful for him.

But he gritted his teeth and used all the remaining energy in his body to sprint.

He doesn't need to sprint all the way to the penalty area with Lin Feng. He just needs to pass the ball back to the opponent so that Lin Feng can quickly get past Barcelona's defensive midfielder without slowing down.

"not good!"

Busquets' expression changed drastically when he saw the ball being passed out.

While his teammates were focused on Lin Feng, the biggest threat, no one noticed Higuain's actions, which allowed him to receive and pass the ball unchallenged in the flank area.

Seeing Higuain's passing move, Busquets and the Barcelona players on the field realized that the ball was not meant for Raul on the front line, but for Lin Feng, who was sprinting forward!

But by the time Busquets realized what was going on, it was too late.

After passing the ball, Lin Feng used his speed advantage to shake off Busquets.

Busquets tried his best to chase, but the distance between them continued to widen. His absolute speed was not as fast as Lin Feng's, so he could only watch helplessly as Lin Feng ran further and further away!

"Lin, over here, pass the ball to me!"

Raul was also sprinting, and during the sprint, he loudly asked Lin Feng for the ball.

Barcelona's defenders were affected and dared not let him have complete freedom, so they had to assign someone to keep an eye on him.

Fortunately, this time, Barcelona had three defensive players in their backfield.

After being criticized by Guardiola, Abidal focused almost entirely on defense.

When Real Madrid launched their counter-attack, he immediately dropped back to his position.

When Puyol charged forward like a bull, Abidal immediately dropped back to the defensive line, forming the team's last line of defense with Pique and completely blocking Raul's passing lanes.

Raul had no choice but to press the opponent's defensive line deeper and try to move as far as possible to the right side to give Lin Feng enough space to sprint.

In the blink of an eye, Puyol was already in front of Lin Feng.

This was the second time the two had faced off directly. Puyol was completely defeated in the first half, but this time he learned his lesson and would not make any rash tackles.

What he needs to do is block the position, forcing the opponent to slow down or move to the outside, so that his shooting angle will be very small and the threat to the goal will be greatly reduced.

Puyol's plan seemed to have worked. After seeing him block the ball, Lin Feng flicked the ball to the outside with his left foot and accelerated along the flank towards the baseline.

"Puyol's defensive strategy worked. Lin Feng was forced to the outside, and his shooting angle became increasingly narrow!"

"Yes, in this situation, the closer Lin Feng gets to the goal, the less of a threat he poses, because the shooting angle keeps getting smaller!"

Inside the CCTV studio, the two commentators looked worried.

They desperately wanted to warn Lin Feng to avoid the opponent's trap, but unfortunately, the players on the field couldn't hear them.

Puyol breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his plan had succeeded. However, after running a few steps with Lin Feng, he quickly realized that something was wrong.

Because he failed to force the other party to slow down, Lin Feng was moving very fast at this moment. Puyol had only run two steps when he was left behind by a body length.

By the time Lin Feng approached the penalty area along the flanks, Puyol had already been left a body length behind.

Seeing the situation was not good, Abidal immediately abandoned his attempt to double-team Raul with his teammates and rushed towards Lin Feng. At the same time, Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes also quickly moved to the left post, ready to block Lin Feng's shot.

However, at that moment, Lin Feng did something that surprised everyone.

Having shaken off Puyol, he changed direction laterally, glanced up to check the direction of the goal, and then, while in motion, executed a stylish outside-of-the-foot shot with his left foot.

The ball arced gracefully through the air, bypassing all the defenders, and flew into the net from the other side of the goalkeeper.

The score became 2-2, with Lin Feng scoring his second goal and helping his team equalize.

Quaresma, who was watching the live television broadcast at home, jumped to his feet, staring in disbelief at the television screen.

Isn't the outside-of-the-foot curler his signature move?

How come this guy knows how to do that too?

Another version of myself in this world?
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also watching the game, was startled. After realizing that Lin Feng was using his friend's unique skill, he almost wanted to call Quaresma and ask him what his relationship was with Lin Feng.
Cristiano Ronaldo was baffled as to why that guy knew Quaresma's special move.

"This isn't Quaresma's outside of his foot, but Lin Feng's own. Not only is the movement more concealed, but the arc is also larger, and even the angle is more tricky. Moreover, he's using his left foot!"

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson gasped. He had thought that Lin Feng, whom they had encountered in the Champions League, was already Lin Feng's complete form, but now it seemed that he was far from reaching his limit.

His unparalleled long-range attacking ability, exceptional finishing skills in front of goal, diverse shooting techniques, and a historically great free kick.

And let's not forget, he's also an organizing midfielder, with exceptional interception and defensive abilities. He's practically a well-rounded all-rounder with virtually no weaknesses.

The only downside is that he's not a Manchester United player!
If such a player were given to Manchester United, Ferguson would be confident in leading them to dominate Europe and transforming them into a super club that rivals Real Madrid!

Arsène Wenger, who was drooling over the TV screen, had similar thoughts. Every time he thought about how he missed the opportunity to sign Lin Feng, Wenger wanted to slap himself.

If Arsenal had signed Lin Feng back then, and now boasts three key players—Van Persie, Lin Feng, and Fabregas—would Arsenal have been unable to win the championship year after year, and instead had to compete with other teams for fourth place every year?

……

"Damn it!"

When Guardiola saw that his worst fears had come true, he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

Meanwhile, on the Real Madrid coaching bench next door, Mourinho jumped up the moment Lin Feng scored, clenching his fists and waving them around fiercely.

He was truly desperate just now, and was even thinking about where to find his next job.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng once again stepped up to save the team. Just as Real Madrid fans said, you can always trust Lin Feng!

A deathly silence fell over the Camp Nou stadium; Barcelona fans seemed unable to accept the result.

They clearly had the upper hand and were in the lead, seemingly on the verge of securing a crucial victory.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng kicked him away!
The feeling of having a sure thing slip away drove Barcelona fans crazy, and they also hated Lin Feng to the core.

It's all this guy's fault; he's ruined their plans time and time again.

Messi looked at Lin Feng, who was celebrating with his teammates, and sighed helplessly.

I thought this would be a great opportunity to defeat my opponent, but unexpectedly he managed to tie the score.

Why is it so difficult to beat him on the field even once?
Iniesta, standing nearby, shared the sentiment. Barcelona had truly given their all in this match, but they just couldn't win, which was a significant blow to the team's morale.

"Rather than saying we were forced to a draw by Real Madrid, it's more accurate to say we lost to Lin Feng alone. By the next time we face him, the coach will definitely have a strategy to limit him, and who knows, we might even be able to secure a big victory away from home!"

Seeing that his two teammates were both looking rather dejected, Harvey offered a few words of comfort.

However, it seems to have had little effect in providing comfort, given that Real Madrid has been plagued by injuries and is in very poor form.

Barcelona couldn't beat Real Madrid even with their current form, so can they really win away from home?

……

After scoring his second goal, Lin Feng ran to the sidelines and performed his signature celebration.

Unfortunately, the Barcelona fans in the stands didn't cooperate. Apart from a few Real Madrid fans desperately echoing the 'siu' sounds, the majority of the crowd booed him.

But Lin Feng didn't care at all, because including last year's Camp Nou El Clásico, Lin Feng had already scored 5 goals at this stadium, making it his lucky place.

They've already scored five goals against us, so what's wrong with letting their fans boo a few times?
If you hit someone, are you not allowed to scream in pain?

That's too domineering!

"Well done, Lin!"

"Brother Lin, you actually did it!"

"How did you practice that outside of your foot? Can you teach me?"

Lin Feng's teammates were even more excited than he was, even though everyone thought they were doomed to lose.

Unexpectedly, a miracle occurred!
When Lin Feng stepped forward and offered to take over the ball and solve the problem when the ball was lost, most people didn't really believe he could do it.

To my surprise, he actually did it!

Even star players are human, and human beings will admire and like teammates and leaders who can step up and not back down in crucial moments.

At this moment, Lin Feng's prestige within Real Madrid reached its peak, and even veterans like Raul and Casillas, who had been very senior, were completely convinced of his abilities.

……

After the game restarted, Guardiola used all of his substitutions, bringing on attacking players to strengthen the attack.

Clearly, Guardiola hasn't given up and wants to try to regain the lead before the end of the match.

But how could Real Madrid, who had just managed to equalize, possibly give their opponents such an opportunity?

In the final moments of the match, Real Madrid were severely suppressed.

But the whole team united and used tenacious defense to maintain the 2-2 score until the end of the game.

When the referee blew the final whistle, many players from both sides collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Although there weren't many goals in this match, the intensity was extremely high, with both sides engaging in fierce physical battles, running, and even fouls.

Before facing Real Madrid this season, Barcelona had almost never encountered such a physically demanding match.

What's even more infuriating is that they gave it their all, but only managed to get 1 point, making them feel that the huge effort they put into the game was completely wasted.

In fact, in terms of energy expenditure, Real Madrid's expenditure is greater than Barcelona's.

After all, Barcelona maintained control of the game, and Real Madrid had to stay on high alert and make more aggressive runs to limit their passing and attacking combinations in order to counter their attacks.

So when the game ended, everyone except the players who came on as substitutes in the second half collapsed to the ground, wishing the team doctor would carry them off on a stretcher.

If it's just for 1 point, paying such a high price is clearly not worth it.

But because this is El Clásico, any price is worth it for Real Madrid.

After the second round, Barcelona had 41 points, while Real Madrid had 30 points.

The gap between the two teams remains at 11 points, which is a very large gap. However, compared to a 14-point gap, which would almost certainly determine the league champion, there is still a slight possibility of catching up with 11 points.

Moreover, Real Madrid's morale was greatly boosted after drawing with Barcelona away from home.

In the following three league matches, they defeated Valencia, Villarreal and Mallorca, achieving a three-game winning streak.

Real Madrid's crisis seems to be gradually subsiding. (End of Chapter)
