Speed Is Also a Top-Tier Talent!

A football match is just like this; a forward only needs to run forward with all his might, while the defenders have many more things to consider.

Facing the counterattack from the Youth National Team, the opposing defenders had to keep their eyes not only on the ball but also on the attacking players beside them.

However, by trying to multitask, they neither managed to steal the ball nor stop the attacking player.

The faster Lin Feng was the first to stand out in this high-speed race.

In the desperate eyes of the opposing defenders and fans, his strong and powerful Long Legs sprinted rapidly, his feet moving as if he were stepping on Wind Fire Wheels, catching up to and overtaking the defender at an incredible speed.

The Argentinian defender marking him felt complete despair. As his opponent was about to pull away, he reached out his hand, attempting to grab Lin Feng's jersey.

But the opponent's speed was simply too fast; his outstretched hand didn't even touch the hem of the jersey before Lin Feng had already sped away.

The Argentinian coach jumped up from the Coaching Area in a flash, his heart filled with shock.

How is this guy so fast?

This was much faster than what he had seen on the tapes!

If Messi had shocked the entire Youth National Team with his powerful Individual Strength, then at this moment, Lin Feng had equally deeply shocked the entire Argentinian team with his rocket-like speed!

With such speed, once he started running, there was simply no way to stop him!

Under the desperate gaze of the Argentinians, Lin Feng caught up to the football.

Many Argentinian fans painfully closed their eyes, not daring to continue watching.

Inside their own penalty area, there were no defensive players left except for the Goalkeeper.

What could they possibly use to stop the opponent from scoring?

Boom!

The entire stadium erupted with an Earth-shattering sound; it was the Chinese fans cheering!

The Argentinians opened their fingers slightly to peek at the scoreboard.

The 1:1 scoreline was exceptionally glaring.

No miracle occurred; the Argentinian Goalkeeper Ustari failed to stop the opponent from scoring a goal.

The score was leveled, and both sides were back on the same starting line!

"Beautiful!"

"Great shot!"

On the side of the Youth National Team's Coaching Area, after Lin Feng scored, everyone jumped up excitedly and cheered with their arms raised.

Even Klopp, who was usually unflappable, had a rare moment of losing his composure, excitedly hugging several Chinese coaches and not even sparing the translator provided by the Football Association.

"I knew this kid could do it!"

"Haha, Coach Klopp, recruiting Lin Feng into the Youth National Team was truly a stroke of genius!"

"That's right, just look at who Coach Klopp is; his eye for talent is something we could never hope to match!"

The Chinese coaches were growing fonder of Lin Feng the more they watched him. When had the National Football Team ever produced an attacking player with such high scoring efficiency?

As long as he was on the pitch, a goal was guaranteed!

It was all thanks to Klopp's keen eye for talent; otherwise, the Youth National Team might have missed out on such a great prospect.

If it weren't for the presence of Lin Feng, they might have been eliminated by the German team in the first round of the knockout stage.

Thinking of this, everyone felt even more justified in their flattery, without any mental burden.

At this very moment, various posts were refreshing rapidly on domestic Tieba and forums:

"Brother Linzi is mighty!"

"You can always trust Lin Feng!"

"This goal is so damn invigorating!"

"Keep playing like this, don't be timid, just go for it! If Argentina can score, we can too! Who's afraid of whom!"

"So you're the one they call Argentina? So you're the one they call Messi?"

"Fun fact: as of now, Lin Feng has scored 4 goals in this Youth World Cup, already tying Messi's goal tally!"

"And Brother Linzi only used 3 matches, while Messi has already used 6; Brother Linzi's scoring efficiency is twice as high as Messi's!"

"Haha, in that case, I guess Messi isn't anything special after all!"

Lin Feng's goal once again ignited the atmosphere on domestic forums and Tieba.

Before, when the Youth National Team was trailing, the atmosphere on the forums and Tieba had been gloomy.

Everyone was in a heavy mood, and apart from a few trolls mocking the team, no one else had the heart to post.

But now, after Lin Feng scored, the silent veterans of Tieba all became active again.

As for those who had been mocking them, they vanished, crawling back into the dark corners to wait for the next opportunity to strike.

Seeing Lin Feng score, Messi's expression became very grave.

He admitted that he had indeed underestimated his opponent before.

The way his opponent had just scored brought a significant shock to Messi: so, speed was also a top-tier talent!

The power of such unreasonable speed on the pitch was truly immense.

For him to score, he had to risk everything while dribbling, weaving through crowds of defenders to find that sliver of a chance.

Yet, his opponent only needed to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, leaving all the defenders behind.

In terms of difficulty, his own goals were much harder to achieve.

After all, no matter how strong his ability was, he couldn't pass five hurdles and slay six generals every single time.

But as long as his opponent had a counterattack opportunity, catching it meant a goal.

Thinking of this, Messi suddenly felt nervous.

Could I actually lose to this guy?

At eighteen, Messi was far from as mature in his mentality as he would be later on.

The nervousness and anxiety in his heart were almost written all over his face.

Perhaps it was because that goal from Lin Feng had shocked him so much that Messi subconsciously kept tracking Lin Feng's movements.

He even took it upon himself to participate in the defense against Lin Feng.

Nervous emotions are contagious, especially when the Team Core is the first to get nervous, the entire team is affected.

After the Youth National Team scored, the Argentina team failed to organize any decent attacks for several minutes.

After all, with Messi starting to neglect his duties, Argentina naturally suffered greatly from the lack of a backbone.

The Argentina team's performance fell below their standard, but the Youth National Team's performance began to improve.

With the attacking pressure from the opponent decreasing, the Youth National Team's formation began to push forward bit by bit.

With the protection of Cui Peng and Zhao Xuri, Chen Tao gained relatively safe space to operate.

Coupled with the timely support and playmaking of Lin Feng in the frontcourt, the Youth National Team's midfield began to flow smoothly under their joint efforts.

With strong support from the midfield, the Youth National Team's attacking opportunities began to increase rapidly.

From the 22nd minute to the 35th minute, for over ten minutes, the Youth National Team even formed a siege around the Argentina goal.

During this period, Zhu Ting, Lin Feng, Zhou Haibin, and others all had shooting opportunities, but unfortunately, their chances weren't particularly good, and they failed to pose much of a threat to the opposing Goalkeeper.

Instead, it was Zhao Yijiao whose long-range shot from outside the penalty area hit the crossbar, breaking the Argentina fans out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Xuri had used a long-range shot from outside the penalty area during the group stage to score a brilliant goal, helping the Youth National Team secure a Game Winning Goal against the Turkey team.

He had a powerful shot and was very daring.

Although he often ended up with a Shot High, once he found his rhythm, he could sometimes really bring you a surprise.

The reason Klopp had placed him in the starting lineup was precisely with the idea of using his long-range shooting to Break the Stalemate at a critical moment.

Zhao Xuri's long-range shot seemed to wake the Argentinian players up, bringing them out of their dazed state completely.

If this continued, the Youth National Team would take the lead!

As a South American team, the Argentina players' footwork was just as excellent as the Brazil Team.

But unlike the Brazil Team, the Argentina team had a clear core.

Led by Messi, the Argentina team began to use their skillful technique to take control of the midfield.

While enduring the harassment from the Youth National Team players, Messi patiently organized attacks in the frontcourt.

Seeing that the Youth National Team had piled up heavy forces in the center, making it difficult to penetrate the defense through the middle, Argentina decisively shifted the focus of their attack to the Wing Attack.

Especially on the right side where Messi was, this flank featured not only Messi but also Zabaleta, a Defender with outstanding attacking ability.

The combination of the two created a huge loophole in the Youth National Team's left-side defense.
