The controversy surrounding the dismissal of the Stuttgart head coach kept Qin Feng's name in the news in the German media. And when the schedule pointed to their next opponent—Bayer Leverkusen—this media storm reached a new climax.

Bild devoted an entire page to a comprehensive comparison of Qin Feng and Son Heung-min's data and technical characteristics.

"The spiritual magician versus the diligent archer! Yellow Lightning and Taeguk Tiger, who will be the future king of Asia?"

This ordinary Bundesliga match was imbued with a special significance that transcended victory and defeat, concerning personal honor and national dignity.

……

Meanwhile, in Bayer Leverkusen, Son Heung-min is tirelessly doing extra training.

His mind was filled with Qin Feng's incredible dribbling skills. As a fellow Asian player, playing in the Bundesliga, this was the first time he had felt such a strong threat.

"Father, I understand." After training, Son Heung-min looked at his father, Son Woong-jung, with a determined gaze. "In the next game, I will prove who is the fastest player and the best striker in Asia."

His gaze unconsciously drifted to his phone screen, where he saw a chat history with a smiling girl. He knew she would be sitting in the stands in Westphalia, watching him. He couldn't afford to lose this match.

……

On match day, Westfalen Stadium was packed to capacity.

Inside the players' tunnel, Qin Feng and Son Heung-min stood on opposite sides of the team. They exchanged a knowing glance, without speaking, but their eyes burned with the same intense fighting spirit.

The match started with a fierce, all-out offensive battle!

In the 19th minute, Bayer Leverkusen launched the first attack!

Midfield maestro Hakan Çalhanoğlu delivered a through ball that tore through the defense!

Son Heung-min, like an arrow released from a bow, launched a high-speed attack from the left flank and successfully beat the offside trap! After receiving the ball, he didn't even adjust his position before cutting inside! Facing the recovering Hummels, he flicked his right foot to the outside, and then followed up with his left foot for a signature long-range shot!

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, heading straight for the corner of the goal!

Swish!

1-0!

After scoring, Son Heung-min excitedly rushed towards the corner flag. He looked up in a certain direction in the stands and made a heart gesture!

The Westfalen Stadium fell into a brief silence.

This goal was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of all Borussia Dortmund fans.

Qin Feng watched Son Heung-min celebrating wildly on the sidelines, showing no sign of discouragement. He simply walked over to Reus and whispered a few words to him.

"Marco, their right flank defense is pushing very high, and Hilbert is very eager to attack. On the next counter-attack, let's switch positions. I'll attack their flanks, and you move to the wing."

Royce paused for a moment, then understood. This was to use Qin Feng's explosive abilities to attack the opponent's weakest point. He nodded emphatically.

……

Just ten minutes later.

In the 29th minute, Dortmund's attack came back strong.

This time, it was Reus who appeared on the left flank! He drew the opponent's defensive attention. Meanwhile, Qin Feng appeared like a ghost in the gap between the center and right flank!

Grosskreutz intercepted the ball on the right wing and delivered a long diagonal pass to Qin Feng!

Qin Feng catches the ball!

He slammed the ball forward! Instantly pushing his speed to its limit!

Bayer Leverkusen's left-back Bernisch attempted a lateral interception, but he only felt a gust of wind pass by and couldn't even touch the opponent's jersey!

That wasn't technology; that was pure, brutal crushing!

"Qin Feng!!! He's charging forward!!!"

Having shaken off the first defender, Qin Feng dribbled at breakneck speed! Midfielder Lars Bender frantically rushed in from the center to cover, attempting to bring him down with a tactical foul!

But Qin Feng's sense of rhythm was too good! Just a moment before Bender was about to make his move, he used an extremely slight change of direction to barely dodge the opponent's flying tackle!

"It's over again!!!"

In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had dribbled the ball to the edge of Leverkusen's penalty area! Their center-back Toprak was forced to rush out of the penalty area!

But Qin Feng had no intention of getting entangled with him at all!

Under the spotlight, he took a running start and swung his arms! His body stretched to its limit, and the power flowed through his core, all of it being poured into his right foot!

When he was still two steps away from his opponent, he swung his right foot directly at the rapidly rolling ball!

A thunderous, powerful shot during a high-speed run!

boom!

The football, like a white shooting star, with unparalleled momentum, tore through the air in an instant, whistling over goalkeeper Leno's head and slamming into the top of the net!

Blind spot!

1-1!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooal!!!"

"Qin Feng's response!!! A strong response from Yellow Lightning!!!"

After scoring, Qin Feng made no celebration. He simply turned and slowly ran back from near the center circle. He paused briefly as he passed Son Heung-min.

The two looked at each other again.

This time, a smile appeared on Qin Feng's face. That smile contained no provocation, only the pure excitement and fighting spirit of someone who had met their match.

Son Heung-min understood too. He smiled as well.

This war has only just begun!

……

Halftime, in the locker room.

Klopp drew circles on the tactics board: "Roger Schmidt is a madman! He'll make his full-backs push forward recklessly! In the second half, continue to attack behind them! Qin, Marco, you two can have more freedom in your positions, use your runs to find the biggest gap in their defense!"

Captain Kyle walked over to Qin Feng and patted him on the shoulder: "Good game, kid. But they'll be even more aggressive in the second half, so be careful."

……

As the second half began, the pace of the game became increasingly intense.

In the 70th minute, a "king meets king" scene unfolded on the field!

Son Heung-min received the ball in midfield, attempting to launch another counter-attack. And it was Qin Feng who had tracked back to defend!

The two fastest players in Asia engaged in a direct race and confrontation at the top of the center circle!

Son Heung-min attempted to force a breakthrough with a change of pace, but Qin Feng anticipated it even faster! He precisely blocked the ball's position and, with a clean and decisive tackle, directly dispossessed Son Heung-min!

"Beautiful defense! From Qin Feng!"

The entire stadium erupted in enthusiastic applause!

The game was deadlocked, and time was ticking away.

In the 85th minute, the balance on the field was finally broken.

Leverkusen's corner kick was cleared, and Dortmund launched another quick counter-attack!

This time, it was Reus who had the ball!

Qin Feng, on the other hand, used his last bit of strength to make a frantic off-the-ball forward run from the other side!

Leverkusen's entire defense was drawn to Qin Feng's suicidal run! Everyone knew Reus would pass the ball to him! Even goalkeeper Leno's attention was focused on Qin Feng!

But at the last minute, Reus made an unexpected choice!

He didn't pass the ball!

After drawing all the defenders' attention, he dribbled the ball himself, suddenly cut inside from the other side, and calmly unleashed a long-range shot with no one marking him!

The ball arced through the air, bypassing the goalkeeper who had lost his position, and slowly rolled into the goal!

2-1! A last-minute winner!

"A feint!" Klopp laughed on the sidelines, high-fiving his assistant coach! This goal was not only a victory of technique, but also a victory of tactics and wisdom!

After scoring, Reus excitedly rushed towards Qin Feng, and the two embraced tightly!

"Your positioning fooled everyone!" Royce shouted.

Ultimately, Borussia Dortmund secured a hard-fought victory in this "Asian Derby" thanks to this brilliant last-minute goal.

After the match, Qin Feng took the initiative to approach the dejected Son Heung-min.

"Well played." He held out his hand.

Son Heung-min looked up at him with a complicated expression, and finally extended his hand as well: "You too. Your speed... is very fast."

"See you in the national team in the future."

"it is good."

The two exchanged jerseys.

Under the lens, two figures representing the future of Asian football are captured in a scene full of inheritance and competition, illuminated by the lights of Westphalia.
