Iconic Scene, Liuliu Mei!

"Argentina has lost control of the midfield!"

In the stands, an unnamed Arsenal head coach pointed out the reason for Argentina's passive state with sharp precision.

"When they commit so much energy to defending and restricting Lin Feng, they naturally lose their ability to suppress the other midfielders of the Youth National Team."

Professor Wenger's expression appeared somewhat excited; this trip was truly worth it.

There are quite a few young talents emerging in this Youth World Cup.

For example, Fàbregas's teammate, the Spanish midfielder David Silva who currently plays for the Spanish Segunda División club Eibar; the Colombian Forward Falcao who plays for the historic Argentine league giant River Plate; and Chen Tao within the Youth National Team.

These players are all high-potential prospects; if they are bought and nurtured properly, they will likely grow into Top Star Players in the future.

And discovering and cultivating young talents is exactly what Professor Wenger excels at.

Even if these players cannot be used by Arsenal in the future, training them well and selling them can still yield a huge profit; if he could even make them Arsenal's Captain before they transfer, he might earn even more.

Of course, the biggest surprise of this trip for Wenger is his target player—Lin Feng.

Originally, when he saw Lin Feng's long-distance dribbling on television, he already felt shocked.

But when he arrived at the scene, he realized that was not the opponent's limit.

This guy is even stronger than he expected!

This discovery immediately made the professor overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to sign him immediately.

But unfortunately, the transfer window hasn't opened yet, which means he has no way to take action for the time being.

This makes Professor Wenger feel very worried, because he has already spotted the presence of quite a few competitors.

Among these people, many are likely here for Lin Feng!

The problem that Wenger could see at a glance took the Argentina head coach several minutes to figure out.

No wonder he is a coach for a Premier League giant, while he can only lead the Argentina Youth Team!

But even after realizing the crux of the problem, he couldn't find a good solution for the time being.

If they don't target Lin Feng, the Youth National Team's counterattacks leave them terrified.

If they do target Lin Feng, they can't restrict the others.

And just as he was still struggling, the Youth National Team scored!

In the 62nd minute of the second half, the Chinese team was awarded a free kick in the frontcourt.

Chen Tao took the shot himself, and the ball headed straight for the dead corner of the Argentina goal.

The Goalkeeper used all his strength, but still couldn't save the ball.

The score on the field became 2:2; the lead the Argentinians had held for over 20 minutes was gone!

"Awesome, Brother Chen!"

"You actually scored that!"

"Brother Chen, teach me how to take free kicks, I want to learn too!"

The Youth National Team players rushed over from all directions, scrambling to hug and high-five Chen Tao.

The teammates' flattery was so blatant that it almost made Chen Tao feel embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, alright, stop the flattery. If you want to learn free kicks, just go find Brother Lu Lin to teach you. Brother Lu is much better than me."

"Ahem, don't flatter me. My free kicks aren't as good as yours, really!"

Hearing Chen Tao's words, Lu Lin quickly spoke up to explain.

Just kidding, you've already scored three goals from free kicks; how could I dare to brag that I'm better than you!

"Beautiful! This is the third time Chen Tao has scored from a free kick in this Youth World Cup!"

In the CCTV Commentary Booth, Huang Jianxiang was incredibly excited.

The Argentinians thought that targeting Lin Feng would restrict the Chinese team's offense, but they completely forgot that before Lin Feng shone, the Youth National Team was already one of the most potent offensive teams in the Youth World Cup.

During the group stage, the Chinese team won all three matches and scored 9 goals, second only to the 13 goals of the Spain team, and three times as many as their opponent, the Argentina team!

"The Youth National Team has too many offensive threats; the Argentinians simply can't restrict them all. All the effort they made before was in vain!"

Huang Jianxiang's tone was filled with pride!

When has Chinese football ever fought such a wealthy battle?

The Youth National Team's lineup is not a single-core, or even a dual-core, but a multi-core lineup.

If Lin Feng is restricted, Chen Tao can stand up; if Chen Tao is restricted, Zhou Haibin can stand up.

No matter how strong Argentina is, it is impossible for them to mark all three of them at the same time.

Therefore, it is inevitable that when you press one down, another pops up!

Watching the celebrating Youth National Team players, Messi clenched his fists tightly.

Due to the excessive physical exertion in the first half, Messi played quite conservatively in the second half, even reducing his running distance significantly.

His lack of activity directly impacted the Argentina team's offense, causing the threat they posed to the Youth National Team to plummet.

It was precisely because Argentina could no longer sustain pressure on the Youth National Team that the latter dared to push their formation forward bit by bit, eventually forming a siege around Argentina.

Looking up at the Match Time, Messi's gaze became resolute.

The Youth National Team's celebration lasted for about a minute, which was not particularly long and fell well within the normal range.

However, the Argentina players repeatedly protested to the referee, demanding that the head referee urge the Chinese team to end their celebration.

They seemed extremely anxious, fearing that the match would be dragged into extra time.

The reason was simple: Messi's stamina would not last through extra time, and they had to kill the suspense of the match as quickly as possible.

With their celebration interrupted, the Youth National Team players felt quite unhappy.

After the match restarted, Argentina launched a massive offensive as expected.

But this time, the Youth National Team did not yield an inch; fueled by adrenaline and anger, they fought Argentina to a standstill for a time.

The midfield battle between the two sides was unprecedentedly intense, with players being fouled and falling to the ground from time to time, causing the referee's whistle to blow frequently and the match to become fragmented.

To warn the players of both sides to watch their tackles, the referee brandished cards in quick succession.

Players on both sides received a Yellow Card Warning.

But this did not have much of an effect, as neither side was willing to give up control of the midfield.

The brutal struggle continued!

"Isn't this too brutal?"

"Do these two teams have some deep-seated grudge? Why does it feel like they're facing their fathers' killers, playing so fiercely?!"

Neutral fans were baffled, but whether they were Chinese fans or Argentina fans, they were already bloodthirsty at this moment.

They cheered loudly for their own players, and even when a player committed a foul and received a card, they still offered applause—sometimes even more enthusiastically than usual.

In the 77th minute, Argentina finally found an attacking opportunity.

They utilized a quick free-kick to bypass the midfield, sending the ball to the Frontcourt and into the feet of Messi.

Messi dribbled past the intercepting Cui Peng and sent a through ball into the penalty area.

This through ball was lethal; it pierced straight through the Youth National Team's Defense Line, giving the rushing Argentina Player a direct opportunity against the Goalkeeper.

Yang Cheng chose to rush out at the first opportunity, while the opposing Forward, Oyerman, was also sprinting at full speed.

With a loud thud, the two collided violently, and the soccer ball rolled slowly across the turf toward the Youth National Team's goal.

Just as the ball was about to cross the Goal Line, a red figure dashed out from behind and cleared the ball away, almost exactly on the line.

Youth National Team Captain Feng Xiaoting saved the team at the critical moment!

Argentina had narrowly missed taking the lead again!

The Youth National Team had luckily escaped a disaster!

But this did not come without a cost.

On the field, the Youth National Team Goalkeeper Yang Cheng and the opposing Forward Oyerman, who had collided, both lay on the turf in pain, unable to stand up for a long time.

Seeing that someone was injured and down, the referee blew the whistle to stop the match.

The team doctors from both sides rushed to the scene with their medical kits. After a brief examination, both doctors gave the substitution signal in tacit agreement; neither of the injured players could continue.

Klopp cursed under his breath and had no choice but to send on the substitute Goalkeeper Yu Ziqian.

Argentina also brought on their substitute Forward, Agüero.

The momentum-filled Argentina team wanted to press their advantage and continue to pressure the Youth National Team.

Seeing his good buddy enter the game, Messi performed even more actively than before.

Full of confidence, he dribbled the ball forward through the center. After dribbling past several players in succession, Messi arrived at the edge of the penalty area.

Seeing Agüero's sharp movement, Messi was just about to pass the ball into the box to feed his buddy, only to be stunned to find that the ball at his feet was gone.

Messi turned his head sharply, only to discover that the person who had snatched his ball was none other than Lin Feng, who had been quiet for nearly 30 minutes in the second half.

Messi's temper flared up instantly, and almost without thinking, he subconsciously chased after Lin Feng!

But he seemed to have overestimated his own speed...
