"What a pity, he didn't get a good header on that!"
"Li Jinyu is still a little too short. If Gao Lin had gone for that header instead, it might have gone in!"
Gao Lin stood 185 centimeters tall, five centimeters taller than Li Jinyu.
That five-centimeter difference gave a player an enormous advantage when contesting headers.
But unfortunately, weighed down by his height and build, Gao Lin was not as quick as Li Jinyu.

After completing a one-two with Shao Jiayi, Lin Feng carried the ball through the inside channel and drove to the edge of the penalty area.
Seeing this, Gao Lin voluntarily dropped back from inside the box to offer support. Lin Feng passed the ball to him, then continued accelerating into the penalty area.
Gao Lin understood immediately. Without stopping the ball, he flicked it backward with his heel into the box.

Japan team's defenders and goalkeeper were all drawn to Lin Feng with the ball,
