We Are the Champions!

The player Lin Feng noted was the Nigeria team's Number 17 Center Back Adebayor. Seeing Lin Feng staring at him, he glared back fiercely, as if warning Lin Feng that with him around, he shouldn't even think about crossing the line.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. Was he really that arrogant?

Decision made, you're the one!

Nigeria's ferocious offensive caused Klopp to grow wary; he waved his hand, signaling the players to change tactics.

The China Youth Team began executing Plan B—launching a high-pressing strategy against the Nigeria team's players.

This move proved effective; the China Youth Team's frantic pressing and strangulation in the midfield hindered the Nigeria team's ability to organize their play.

In particular, the Nigeria team's midfield maestro Mikel was heavily targeted by the China Youth Team, making it difficult for him to deliver ammunition to his teammates as easily as before.

Without Mikel's passing, the Nigeria team's offense misfired.

No matter how many players they piled up on the front line, they could only stare blankly if they couldn't receive the ball.

Furthermore, the most fatal aspect was that once the ball was lost in midfield, it not only stifled their own attack but also allowed the opponent to seize the opportunity for a counterattack.

The top masters of the future Football World emphasize the transition between offense and defense above all else.

Especially seizing the opportunity of an opponent's counterattacking mistake to launch a counter-counterattack.

This sudden change in Dribbling Rhythm would greatly disrupt the opponent's tactical deployment, leaving their defensive players unable to get into position in time.

And for the attacking side, chaos in the opponent's defensive line is the best opportunity.

Such an opportunity appeared very soon!

In the 74th minute, after receiving the ball, Mikel forced a few steps forward in the midfield, trying to find the best passing lane.

He was working very hard to deliver ammunition to his teammates to help the team equalize the score.

But it was those extra steps that caused him to fall into the heavy encirclement of the China Youth Team.

In the blink of an eye, three defensive players rushed out from all directions, surrounding Mikel.

Seeing the situation was dire, Mikel tried to pass the ball back while dribbling.

But the moment he turned, a figure flashed by, and the ball at his feet vanished along with it.

Mikel was shocked. Where is my ball?

Where did that huge ball at my feet go?

Looking up, oh, it turned out to have been snatched away by the opponent's Number 23!

Wait!

Number 23!

Mikel instantly broke out in a cold sweat!

This was the guy who had blown away the Brazil Team and the Argentina Team!

Mikel didn't even dare to imagine the consequences of the ball being stolen by him, given his speed.

He had to make up for his own mistake; the moment Mikel realized the ball was lost, he gave chase with all his might.

He tried his best to catch up to Lin Feng.

But the distance between the two not only failed to close, it continued to widen.

By the time Lin Feng dribbled past the Halfway Line, the gap between them had already stretched to over two meters.

Watching the opponent's back as he left everyone in the dust, Mikel finally understood how Messi felt when he was left eating dust behind Lin Feng.

Just two words—despair!

To what extent was Lin Feng's speed?

Gao Lin, who was originally in front of him, found that his teammate had actually overtaken him while running.

Gao Lin was shocked: What kind of speed is this?

Dribbling the ball faster than I am without it?

Is this reasonable?

The two defenders of the Nigeria team were even more shocked than Gao Lin.

Seeing Lin Feng charging toward them like a lightning bolt, they were already feeling a bit panicked.

The opponent was about to reach the penalty area, while their own teammates had only just crossed the halfway line.

At such a distance, there was no hope of support from teammates.

They could only rely on themselves to stop him!

The Number 5, who hadn't received a card yet, was the first to strike.

He leaned in from the side, attempting to use Physical Confrontation to interfere with and disrupt Lin Feng's Dribbling Rhythm.

Number 5 had a good plan in mind: as long as he could disrupt the opponent's rhythm, there would be a chance to make him lose control of the ball, which would give his teammates a chance to snatch it away.

If this move didn't work, he still had a backup plan.

Before leaning in, he had already observed the position of the referee.

Taking advantage of the cover provided by his body, he used his hand to pull Lin Feng in a blind spot where the referee couldn't see, attempting to make his opponent lose his balance.

With this two-pronged approach, combined with the assistance of his teammates from the side, he expected to resolve the crisis smoothly.

His plan was well-conceived, but he clearly underestimated Lin Feng's physical confrontation ability and speed.

Although he collided with his opponent, the sheer speed of the other player caused him to misjudge the point of impact, leading to him losing his own center of gravity first.

After struggling to keep up with Lin Feng for a few steps, Nigeria number 5 could no longer control his body, and with a loud thud, he fell onto the turf, face-planting into the grass.

The scene erupted in an uproar, as the fans in the stands had seen everything clearly.

It was obviously Nigeria number 5 who had initiated the contact, yet he ended up taking himself down.

Are you trying to draw a foul?

The Nigeria defender lying on the ground seemed to have exactly that in mind; he sat on the pitch and protested to the approaching referee, claiming that Lin Feng had committed a foul.

He felt as if his chest had been crushed by the other player's shoulder blade, the pain so intense it nearly knocked the wind out of him.

The referee had seen the collision clearly; if the situation on the field hadn't been advantageous for the attack, he would have whistled for a foul against Nigeria and awarded a free kick to the Youth National Team.

Therefore, the referee didn't even want to entertain the diving antics of Nigeria number 5.

With number 5 bypassed, the only person left standing between Lin Feng and the goal was an old acquaintance—Nigeria number 17!

Adebayor's heart was pounding in his throat.

He was the only one left in the entire defense line!

He had to block the opponent's attack!

As the heavy responsibility pressed down on his shoulders, his already limited CPU was now on the verge of crashing.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, affected by the earlier collision with his teammate, had slightly disrupted his dribbling rhythm, and his final touch was clearly too heavy!

A golden opportunity!

Adebayor's eyes lit up, and without a second thought, he lunged with his foot to tackle the ball.

However, the next second—

Beep!

A sharp whistle blew.

The referee pointed his right hand toward the penalty spot while simultaneously pulling out a yellow card and walking toward the bewildered Adebayor.

Adebayor looked aggrieved, desperately trying to explain to the referee that he had touched the ball first before making contact with the player.

But the referee clearly didn't believe his story; he trusted his own eyes more.

Furthermore, the feedback from the linesman confirmed that the Nigeria defender had committed the foul first, leaving him with no reason to change his decision.

Since Adebayor was already carrying a yellow card, receiving a second one meant he was sent off with a red card.

This decision caused the Nigeria players to explode with anger; already at a disadvantage, how were they supposed to play the rest of the match if they were down another man?

They surrounded the referee emotionally, attempting to change his ruling.

But football matches have clear regulations: no player is allowed to confront the referee on the field.

With so many Nigeria players surrounding him, the referee clearly felt his authority was being challenged.

He didn't hesitate to pull out yellow cards, handing out Yellow Gem Cards to the most agitated Nigeria players.

As these yellow cards were issued, the Nigeria fans immediately erupted.

Agitated fans attempted to climb over the railings and rush onto the pitch.

The passionate African compatriots were eager to let the referee taste their local specialty—the flavor of a Nigerian iron fist.

The scene descended into a brief riot, and the match had to be paused.

The Youth National Team players had no time to worry about the chaos; they all ran to the penalty area, anxiously inquiring about Lin Feng's condition.

Lin Feng had been tackled hard by the defender, and the Youth National Team players were deeply worried that he might have been injured.

The Chinese fans in the stands also looked toward the pitch with anxiety, their faces filled with concern.

Fortunately, Lin Feng stood up quickly, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, the chaos on the field subsided.

The match resumed with a penalty kick for the Chinese team.

Chen Tao, the primary penalty taker for the Youth National Team, stood at the spot, took a deep breath, and began his run-up.

The Nigeria fans began to pray in their hearts, hoping for a miracle to make the opponent miss the penalty.

But Chen Tao was a player with nerves of steel; he did not let everyone down, easily deceiving the goalkeeper and calmly slotting the ball into the net.

The score became 3:1, and the Youth National Team's lead returned to two goals.

At this point, the match was nearing its end.

With the opponent down a man and the match time running out, the Youth National Team's advantage was already overwhelming.

Although everyone was cheering, Klopp keenly noticed that Lin Feng was limping slightly as he walked.

Lin Feng did not request a substitution, which indicated that his injury was likely a contusion.

This type of injury was not particularly serious, but Klopp did not dare to take any risks.

He immediately arranged for Hao Junmin to enter the pitch, replacing the injured Lin Feng.

As Lin Feng walked off the field, the fans stood up to cheer, paying tribute to him with enthusiastic applause and ovations.

Lin Feng deserved the greatest credit for this Championship Trophy won by the China Youth Team.

Lin Feng's departure caused the China Youth Team's offensive capability in the frontcourt to decline, but the opponent's morale had already collapsed by this point.

Their players were playing with even more anxiety and recklessness than before.

In the 88th minute, Gao Lin was brought down in the penalty area, and the China Youth Team was awarded another Penalty Kick.

Chen Tao took the shot himself and succeeded in one go, changing the score to 4:1.

This Penalty Kick completely killed off any suspense in the match, and the Nigeria players resigned themselves to their fate.

Seeing that neither side had any desire to attack, the head referee ended the match before the stoppage time had even fully elapsed.

In the end, thanks to goals from Zhao Xuri, Lin Feng, and Chen Tao, the China Youth Team secured a 4:1 victory over Nigeria, winning the final of the 2005 Netherlands Youth World Cup.

At the same time, they also won the championship of this Youth World Cup!
