Chapter 14 Champions League Night, First Ascent to the Temple
After defeating Eintracht Frankfurt away from home, Borussia Dortmund continued their winning streak in the Bundesliga standings, with three wins out of three, making for a perfect start to the season.
However, the team's smooth sailing in the league cannot mask the enormous challenges that lie ahead.
In mid-September, the UEFA Champions League resumed.
Group F: Arsenal (Premier League), Marseille (Ligue 1), Napoli (Serie A), Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga).
The media has bluntly called this group the "Group of Death".
Dortmund's first match is an away game against Napoli, a strong Serie A team coached by tactical mastermind Rafa Benitez.
At the pre-match press conference, when a reporter mentioned Borussia Dortmund's "mysterious newcomer" Qin Feng, Benitez simply smiled politely.
"I've heard about him, a very fast young man. But at the Stadio San Paolo, speed isn't the only weapon. My team knows how to deal with this type of player. The Champions League and the Bundesliga are completely different competitions."
His words revealed the absolute confidence of a tactical mastermind.
……
After the match started, the situation on the field was even more difficult than Klopp had anticipated.
The deafening roar of the crowd at the San Paolo Stadium seemed to grant the Napoli players a ferocious buff. Their pressing was as ruthless as a pack of hungry wolves.
In the 29th minute of the first half, the tide of the game turned dramatically. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller rushed out of the penalty area and committed a foul, receiving a red card without hesitation from the referee!
Immediately afterwards, Klopp was also sent to the stands for protesting the referee's decisions!
House seemingly endless rain!
With ten men remaining, the head coach was sent to the stands. Dortmund was in dire straits.
Just before halftime, Higuain scored with a header. In the 67th minute of the second half, Insigne scored a stunning long-range goal, making it 2-0!
The San Paolo Stadium was completely transformed into a sea of jubilation. The Dortmund players, on the other hand, were all dejected, their eyes filled with despair.
In the stands, Klopp, who had been sent to the stands as punishment, irritably tugged at his tie.
His gaze pierced through the surging crowd and landed on his team's bench.
He saw the black-haired boy.
While everyone else looked ashen-faced, he alone stood tall, his eyes fixed intently on the court, as if ready to charge into battle at any moment.
The fighting spirit in his eyes was like an unextinguished flame.
A crazy idea suddenly popped into Klopp's mind.
He picked up the phone and dialed assistant coach Buvac's number.
"Zelico!"
"Substitute!"
……
The 70th minute of the match.
When the fourth official raised the substitution board on the sidelines, everyone was stunned.
Dortmund will be replacing one defensive midfielder with an attacking midfielder!
Number 37 in green, Qin Feng!
Red number 6, Sven Bender!
"It's a desperate gamble! This is a desperate substitution!"
The commentator's voice was filled with disbelief! "Playing with one less player and trailing by two goals, Dortmund actually chose to take off a defensive player and bring on an 18-year-old newcomer with absolutely no Champions League experience! Was this Klopp's instruction? Has he gone mad?"
Qin Feng ran onto the court amidst the watchful eyes of everyone.
This was his Champions League debut.
In São Paulo, in the place once conquered by Maradona.
At the team's most desperate moment.
"Kid, get up there and run!"
Assistant coach Buvac whispered only this one sentence in his ear.
Qin Feng nodded heavily.
He rushed onto the pitch, feeling the harsh boos from the Napoli fans and the contemptuous looks from the opposing players.
His blood boiled completely at that moment.
……
Qin Feng's entry into the game was like a catfish thrown into stagnant water, instantly disrupting Naples' originally composed rhythm.
In the 73rd minute, Napoli passed the ball around in their own half, trying to run down the clock.
Qin Feng, however, was like a madman, relentlessly pressing their defense from the attacking third! He was too fast! Napoli's defender Albiol almost lost possession from behind with a careless touch!
I broke out in a cold sweat!
In the 78th minute, Qin Feng received a pass from Reus on the wing. Facing Napoli's right-back Maggio—a key player in Benitez's defensive system—he did not choose to force his way through.
Instead, he made a sudden stop, followed by a long, diagonal pass that spanned the entire field! The ball was precisely aimed at Aubameyang, who was making a run down the other side!
Unfortunately, Aubameyang's shot was brilliantly saved by the opposing goalkeeper, Reina.
But this attack gave everyone hope!
This also caused Benitez, sitting on the coaching bench, to frown for the first time.
He discovered that the young man's passing vision and footwork far exceeded his expectations.
……
The match was in its 87th minute.
Dortmund intercepted the ball in midfield, and after several passes, it reached Qin Feng at the edge of the penalty area.
Napoli's defensive system instantly tightened, with center-back Britos and defensive midfielder Behrami closing in on him like two walls!
Faced with the top-level defensive pressure in Serie A, Qin Feng made a move that left everyone speechless!
He neither passed the ball nor took a shot!
Instead, he gently flicked the ball upwards with his right foot, followed by a nimble turn!
"Rainbow Overload!!!"
The commentator let out a desperate shout!
The football drew a beautiful rainbow in the air, obediently flying over Britos and Behrami's astonished heads and landing in the open space behind them!
Qin Feng himself, like a fish, darted through the gap between the two in an instant!
At this moment, the entire São Paulo stadium fell into a deathly silence!
All the Napoli fans stared in disbelief at the yellow and black figure on the field, as if they were seeing the omnipotent God of yesteryear!
Having shaken off the defense, Qin Feng caught up with the ball and was now in a semi-one-on-one situation!
Goalkeeper Reina charged out in a frantic attack!
But Qin Feng didn't even look at him!
On the left side of the penalty area, at a very tight angle!
He met the falling ball head-on, without letting it hit the ground, and swung his left foot directly!
A powerful volley!
boom! ! !
The football, like a white shooting star, with unparalleled momentum, instantly tore through Reina's fingers and smashed into the far corner of the goal!
Blind spot!
2: 1!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooal!!! Oh My God!!!"
The Sky Sports commentator in Italy had completely lost his mind; he was holding his head and screaming wildly in the commentary box!
"Unbelievable! Incredibile! Mamma Mia!!!"
"A godlike goal! A Maradona-esque goal! At the São Paulo Stadium! An 18-year-old Chinese boy conquered this place with a rainbow flick and an astonishing weak-footed volley!"
"Rafa Benitez said before the match that he knew how to handle it! Is this his way of handling it?! He was proven wrong! Profoundly proven wrong by a kid!"
Qin Feng did not celebrate wildly after scoring the goal.
He simply turned around slowly, opened his arms, and calmly walked towards the center circle.
His posture was like that of an emperor reigning over the world.
The entire São Paulo stadium was completely silent.
Then, someone started clapping, and a few scattered claps rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the applause grew louder and louder!
Finally, they merged into a thunderous ocean!
They are Napoli fans, but they understand football better!
They are paying the highest tribute to this brilliant performance!
The final whistle blew, and the score was finally set at 2-1.
Borussia Dortmund lost the game.
The players walked off the field dejectedly.
But when they entered the players' tunnel, they saw a figure waiting for them.
It's Klopp.
He didn't criticize or scold. He went up to each player and hugged them one by one.
When he walked up to Qin Feng, he patted Qin Feng's shoulder hard, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
"Kid, remember how you felt tonight."
"Remember this feeling of losing, but having the whole world stand up and applaud you."
"Next time, on our home turf, we'll tear them to shreds!"
Qin Feng raised his head, met Klopp's gaze, and nodded heavily.
"I've got it."
