Chapter 28:20, the championship is already waving to the National Youth Team! What makes Feng Xiaoting truly outstanding is not his defense, but his offense! He has excellent passing ability and even his breakthrough ability is quite good. Once in a match against Germany, Feng Xiaoting started from the midfield and dribbled past four German players in a row, which stunned the German head coach at the time. After intercepting the ball from Mikel, Feng Xiaoting did not pass it to his teammates, but instead charged forward with the ball himself. Seeing that the captain had taken the lead in the charge, the other players of the national youth team naturally did not want to fall behind. In an instant, the National Youth Team completed the transition from offense to defense. A central defender dribbling the ball while attacking, this may sound a bit fantastic. After all, as the last insurance of the team's defense line, they should play more steadily and do their job well. But not only did Krauchen not stop Feng Xiaoting's choice, but he also highly praised it and even encouraged him loudly. In his opinion, Feng Xiaoting’s choice was not reckless or foolhardy, but the best solution under the current circumstances.
As Feng Xiaoting dribbled forward, Nigeria's formation was completely disjointed. Their forward players were still in the national youth team's penalty area and were unable to put pressure on Feng Xiaoting immediately. Mikel, who was supposed to serve as the second interception line, was left behind by Feng Xiaoting because of the ball lost just now. As for the Nigerian team's midfielders, they were completely unable to free up their hands and had to focus on the four midfielders of the national youth team. In this situation, no one can control Feng Xiaoting at all. He can dribble the ball forward unimpeded! In this way, Feng Xiaoting dribbled the ball all the way across half court. The Nigerian midfielder couldn't bear it anymore, so he abandoned his defensive player and rushed towards Feng Xiaoting. The opponent is just a defender. As long as we block him and don't give him the chance to pass the ball forward, he won't be able to achieve anything. Could he possibly get past me? However, the next second, Feng Xiaoting's actions made him dumbfounded. Seeing the opponent rushing so fiercely, Feng Xiaoting pushed the ball to the side, changed direction and accelerated, just passing by the opponent who was rushing at full speed. Nigeria's defensive midfielder was easily dribbled past! The Nigerian fans at the scene were in an uproar. They never expected that their midfielder would be overtaken by a central defender. Is this reasonable? Fans of the National Youth Team said that Feng Xiaoting was relatively restrained compared to the big brother Fan Zhiyi. After all, some people play as central defenders but are actually the team's top scorer. The attack by the National Youth Team was originally a case of outnumbering the opponent. At this time, the opponent's midfielder lost his defensive position due to his reckless attack, which made the National Youth Team have a greater numerical advantage in the frontcourt. While Feng Xiaoting was running with the ball, he calmly observed the running positions of his teammates and the defensive positions of his opponents. In front of him on the left, the national youth team's left winger Lu Lin was already in position, ready to dribble the ball down the field and make a cross at any time.
On Lu Lin's right side, Lin Feng was also sprinting towards the left side of the penalty area, while reaching out for the ball. The opponent's attention was inevitably attracted by the two Chinese players on the left, and the overall defensive formation was forced to tilt to the left. Seeing this, Feng Xiaoting decisively passed the ball, but unexpectedly, his ball was not passed to Lin Feng, but to Chen Tao in the middle. Chen Tao had already slowed down at this time. After receiving the pass from Feng Xiaoting, he deliberately paused, and when the opponent's defender came forward to intercept, he passed the ball to Lin Feng on the left. Lin Feng did not choose to shoot himself, but passed the ball to Gao Lin who was stuck on the penalty area line. Gao Lin also did not shoot. He made a two-on-two combination with Lin Feng and passed the ball again. When the ball was passed into the penalty area, Lin Feng had already shaken off the Nigerian defender with his speed advantage. The moment he received the ball, he was already there! The Nigerian team's goalkeeper has tried his best to block Lin Feng's shooting angle, trying to save the team single-handedly. But Lin Feng did not give the opponent any chance. He calmly pushed the ball into the far corner and scored the ball steadily under the desperate gaze of the opponent's goalkeeper and defender. The score became 2:0, and only 30 minutes had passed in the first half! In half an hour, the Chinese national football team had already gained a huge lead. The balance of victory and defeat has completely tilted towards the National Youth Team! "Pretty!" "The national youth team is awesome!" "2:0, are we really going to win the championship?" "Someone pinch me, I'm afraid this is a dream!" The moment Lin Feng scored the goal, the domestic fans went completely crazy. If 1:0 only established a leading advantage, fans would not be happy too early. Then that 2:0 is completely different. This goal almost secured victory. Paved the way for them to win the championship! As long as the national youth team players don’t open champagne and celebrate in advance in the locker room during the half-time break, the game is basically won! What makes the fans even more excited is that the goal just now was very exciting. From counterattacks that took advantage of the opponent's offensive mistakes, to the rapid deployment and advancement of the formation at the back, and the wonderful cooperation between several national youth players in front of the penalty area. This goal fully demonstrated the level of the national youth team. If the team name is covered, people who don’t know would think the team on the field is Arsenal! Arsenal coach Wenger smiled after seeing the goal on TV. The little guy kicks really well! But unfortunately, he is not eligible to join Arsenal for the time being. At the same time, within the Barcelona club, Barcelona president Laporta and team coach Rijkaard were also watching the game. "Is this the guy who led the team to defeat Messi?" Laporta pointed at Lin Feng who was celebrating the goal on the TV screen and asked the assistant beside him.
"Yes, Mr. President, he scored two wonderful goals in the match against Argentina, helping the Chinese team to reverse the game." Laporta nodded after hearing this: "He is indeed a very capable player, but it is a pity that we cannot use him." Barcelona already has Ronaldinho and Messi, so they are not short of attacking midfielders. If the other party is really bought, it will most likely be the fate of the water dispenser manager. What's more, given the relationship between the other party and Messi, if Lin Feng really came, Messi would be uncomfortable. This is obviously not worth the loss. After all, Messi is Barcelona's treasure and their hope for the future! However, the inability to recruit Lin Feng does not mean that other players cannot be selected from the National Youth Team. "Frank, what do you think of their No. 5?" Laporta pointed at Feng Xiaoting and asked Rijkaard. “Very strong and very talented!” Rijkaard answered without hesitation. Feng Xiaoting's performance just now left a deep impression on the two of them. In football, good defenders are always scarcer than good forwards. Because forwards compare their strengths, while defenders compare their weaknesses. No matter what other abilities a striker has, as long as he has one shining point and can help the team score goals, that is enough. But the defenders are not the same. If a defender has an obvious weakness, he is not suitable to be a central defender! Because any shortcoming will become a breakthrough point for the opponent and bring fatal threat to the team. Therefore, players in this position cannot have any weaknesses! In the game just now, Feng Xiaoting not only did not expose any weaknesses, but even showed his extraordinary qualities. His footwork, his passing ability, as well as his football IQ and overall perspective are all things that Barcelona values very much. It is easy to find a central defender who plays with his body, but it is difficult to find a central defender who plays with his brain. Considering that the other party is only 19 years old this year, there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. Laporta and Rijkaard were attracted almost immediately! "Make an offer to his club and bring him to Camp Nou this summer!" (End of this chapter)
