Chapter 24: The End – The Women's World Cup (Volume 7 Finale)

Eric Cantona scored in front of goal and United equalised with fifteen minutes remaining!

The rules of the FA Cup are that the two teams draw and play another game a week later, and the draw continues, and the penalty shootout.

No one wants another play-off game because most of the players have their holiday plans in place, and a sudden delay of a week would be disrupting all plans.

Therefore, the FA Cup final has always been decided by one game, especially at the last moment, when the two sides fought extremely fiercely and the atmosphere was particularly hot.

The only one in the audience who can easily break the ball in the face of the opposing player, I'm afraid there is only Ling Feng alone, no way, his defensive awareness is really good, with his skills and vision, he can easily see through the next move of the opposing player and strike first.

As the minutes of the game passed, the two sides were still in this stalemate.

Every attack set off a wave of cheers from the fans in the stands, but in this wave, the ball did not roll into the opponent's door.

Ryan Giggs broke through on the left, Bergkamp broke through on the right, and both were killed by the opponent; Beckham's cross from the right, Ling Feng quickly inserted the assist, but it was also in vain.

Both managers have replaced tired players, but Cantona is the only one to come off with a well-known star.

Arsene Wenger replaced the two midfielders in front of Ling Feng, who did not perform at the top level in this game.

There are five minutes left in the game.

Manchester United's attack was hampered and Paul Scholes' pass was cut off by Adams in front of the penalty area.

The captain of the arsenal did not hesitate at all, and directly gave a kick to Ling Feng in the arc circle, in the surprised eyes of the 20,000 Manchester United fans at Wembley Stadium, Ling Feng pulled and knocked with his right foot at the moment of stopping the ball, easily flashed Giggs, and disappeared in the dilated pupils of the Welshman.

Giggs could see that Ling Feng's explosive power just now would definitely not be under him!

Keane immediately came up to make up for the defense, Ling Feng handed the ball to his left foot, and with a sudden disguise, he broke through the Irishman's pressing and continued to rush forward.

Becky on the right is also desperately running back, as a midfielder, you can not admit his individual skills, but you have to admit that Beckham is quite aggressive in defending every game.

But Beckham's distance was far away from Ling Feng, so he couldn't come forward to intercept Ling Feng, but rushed straight back to his own penalty area, so that his defenders could come up and rob without worries.

Johansen clung to it at this time, and the reporters raised the cameras in their hands, this was the second time he had a separate conversation with Ling Feng in this kind of fast attack situation, the British proverb said that thunder and lightning would not strike people twice, so what now?

It was clear that Zeus, the father of the Greek gods, had abandoned the English, and Johansen had lost his balance at the touch of Ling Feng, but he was still going to fall to the ground and destroy the ball, even with his hands.

It's a pity that Ling Feng didn't give him a chance, he didn't stick to the ball, but made a straight shot to Bergkamp on the side, and the Ice Prince continued to attack.

It's the peak of the Ice Prince's career, and he's definitely the best in the world in terms of technique, fitness, and awareness.

Erwin was flashed by Bergkamp and couldn't find the north!

However, due to Erwin's defense, the Ice Prince's pace slowed down, which gave Giggs and Keane plenty of time to return to the defense.

Bergkamp secretly hated in his heart, could such a good opportunity for a fast break be wasted by himself?

Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka had both rushed to the edge of the opposition penalty area by this time, but with defenders defending by their side, the consequences of rash crosses could only squander the opportunity to attack.

At this time, a yellow figure rushed in front of him, shouting as he rushed: "Dennis, pass straight!" ”

Ling Feng!

Bergkamp no longer hesitated, although Erwin was stubbornly entangled, but at most he could only slow down the progress of the Ice Prince, Bergkamp knocked the ball with the heel of his left foot, and the ball immediately rolled forward!

Together, these actions are equivalent to Ling Feng and Bergkamp playing a two-by-two cooperation!

Stam hurriedly made up for it, but Ling Feng grabbed the ball in the corner of the big penalty area without pause, Ling Feng jumped up directly at the same speed, and spun around in the air like a swan!

At the same time as Ling Feng was spinning in a circle, his right foot first stepped on the ball, and then the force of the circle just pulled the ball away, avoiding Stam's defense, and then at the moment of landing, his left foot pulled again, and the ball returned to Ling Feng's face, and at this time, Ling Feng had already flashed Stam behind him through this turn!

With a perfect 360-degree rotation, Ling Feng could still find where the goal was after landing, and it was estimated that there would be no problem with his quality to participate in pilot training.

Stam's body froze, a move he was familiar with, and it was the trick of Cruyff, the famous star of the Dutch team, commonly known as Cruyff's turn.

After turning around, Ling Feng had already inserted it from the right corner of the penalty area, and at this time a three-on-three situation was formed in the penalty area, Ling Feng, Anelka, Henry, and the opponent's Beckham, Schmeichel and Gary. Neville.

This is the advantage of a passing king, one-on-one to get rid of the opponent's defender, which means that the opponent's defense will lose a large part of the strength.

Comrade Xiaobei was the most depressed at this time, he was sandwiched between Ling Feng and Anelka, should he pounce to defend Ling Feng now, or should he stay and leave some strength to defend Anelka behind him?

But Xiao Bei didn't have to think about it anymore at this time, because after Ling Feng finished turning, he took a step forward with the ball, and then made a leg swing action!

"He's going to shoot straight at the goal!" This is what everyone thinks in a moment!

The most surprising was Schmeichel, because at the end of the game, Arsenal finally got this good opportunity, and should choose the safest way to deal with it!

Therefore, Schmeichel's position moved forward a little earlier, and although the angle of Ling Feng's shot was small, the position he had to move was not advantageous at all.

“goooooooooooooal!” The passionate cheers of the commentators sounded on the Wembley Stadium, and Ling Feng hit a powerful right-footed volley, the ball hung straight in the corner of the goal, and only fell to the ground after a desperate spin in the net!

This time Ling Feng cheered, he took off his jersey, revealing his perfect muscles to run around the field.

In the narrator's words, Ling Feng's powerful volley swept away his resentment towards Ferguson.

Those who care will notice that this is the first time Ling Feng has taken off his jersey to celebrate.

It can be said that Ling Feng is in a mixed mood now, he personally defeated his old club a month ago and won the English FA Cup.

But to whom does this victory belong? Arsenal or himself?

Ling Feng didn't know either.

So he took off his shirt because he didn't know who he was fighting for in the Premier League this year.

There are three minutes left in the game, Manchester United pressed all the way, Arsenal all the way back, this is not the Camp Nou, Ferguson does not have the same luck as he did back then, in the last three minutes, Manchester United launched one fierce attack after another, but Arsenal blocked out.

The whistle blew at the end of the game and Arsenal won the FA Cup!

Ling Feng completed his counterattack against Ferguson with two goals and an assist, and he not only helped Manchester United win the league title in one season, but also helped Arsenal win the FA Cup in the same season.

This is an unprecedented achievement, and no one will be able to count it as a result - because soon, FIFA and UEFA will have to formulate a new transfer system, and no one will be able to take advantage of such a loophole again.

Later, some people commented that the Boseman Act of 1995 caused huge changes in European football in the next ten years, directly causing the polarization of the European league, and other players benefited from this set of bills A huge amount of money, only Ling Feng used this set of laws to win the championship of the five major leagues.

The final was followed by the award ceremony, and the Queen of England personally hung up the honorary gold medal for Ling Feng, for her, it was not an unacceptable thing for Ling Feng to play for two clubs in one year, she mainly looked at Ling Feng's achievements.

As the star with the highest Chinese voice, the Queen of England naturally wants to give some benefits, so Ling Feng got the medal of the Sino-British Friendship Ambassador and had a chance to attend the dinner......

Of course, if Her Majesty knew that Manchester United would win the first treble in history this year, but was disturbed by Ling Feng, she would probably kick Ling Feng off this podium with a kick without any image......

The contest between Ling Feng and Ferguson ended in Ling Feng's victory.

But in the minds of United fans, that's not how they do.

In the final moments, he defected to Manchester United and beat the Red Devils with one assist and two goals in the final.

I'm afraid that Ling Feng won't even go back to Manchester in the future, otherwise there is no guarantee that the Red Devils fans there will not crucify him and burn him to death.

The 1998-1999 season was over, Fiorentina defeated AC Milan 3-1 in the final of the Coppa Italia, although Shepchenko scored a goal from his old club, but could not save the defeat, Fiorentina became the only team in history to win the treble for two consecutive years.

Ling Feng's trip to the Premier League is all over, in the eyes of outsiders, it is incomparably glorious, beautiful and full of legends, but Ling Feng himself knows that the Premier League is his most depressed year in the past four years.

Attending the Arsenal team's celebration banquet that night, Ling Feng said goodbye to London, where he now goes to the United States, where the Chinese women's football team will compete for the third Women's World Cup.

The strength of the Chinese women's football team is now the strongest in the world, not to mention that they have been qualitatively improved in both hardware and software with the strong support of Ling Feng.

Since the Spring Festival of '98, the girls of the women's football team have come to Florence to participate in training, and their sparring partners are a group of future pillars of the Chinese team secretly trained by Florence.

Although the world's top players in the first team did not compete with the girls of the Chinese women's football team for identity reasons, they were also full of praise for these women's football girls.

A total of 16 teams participated in this Women's World Cup, and the Chinese team was divided into Group D, with Sweden, Australia and Ghana facing in the same group.

The repercussions of this Women's World Cup have been particularly strong in China, and unlike in history, when people paid attention to the Women's World Cup because of disappointment with the men's team, now it is the hope for Chinese football.

In the first game, the girls did not play their own style, and compared with the strong hosts United States team swept Nigeria 7-1 to get off to a good start, the sonorous Roses defeated their old enemies Sweden 2-1 in the first game.

"Well, I'm still a little nervous." Ling Feng in the stands said to Si Yue.

Ling Feng did not go to the women's national football team as many people imagined, but only went to say a few words of condolences, and honestly watched all the games in the stands, he believed that the strength of the Chinese women's football team is the top in the world, not to mention that after training in Florence for another year, looking at the current women's football team, it is absolutely not comparable to the current sonorous roses.

Sure enough, in the second game against Ghana, the women's football girls played 7:0**!

Sun Wen, the No. 1 player in the women's football team, scored a hat-trick in this game, and she has also become the soul of the Chinese women's football team, and her portrait hangs all over the streets of China like Ling Feng.

In the third group stage, against the Kangaroo sisters, the Chinese women's football team has completely recovered its form, defeating the opponent 4:0, and Sun Wen scored two goals alone.

In just three games in the group stage, Sun Wen scored five goals and became the top scorer in the list.

The situation in the four groups has been clear, the United States, Brazil, Norway, China, these four teams are the most favored, except for Brazil, who drew 3-3 with the old powerhouse Germany, the remaining three teams have won the group stage, and these four teams are the semi-finals of the Atlanta Olympics two years ago.

Ling Feng jokingly said that he should introduce Sissi of the Brazilian team to Ronaldo, because the two of them really look like a husband and wife.

Known as the "female Ronaldo", Sisi is the highlight of the Brazilian team in this World Cup, her skills similar to Ronaldo, and even Ronaldo's hairstyle, have made Sisi the key to media attention.

And she is also the only player who is eligible to compete with Sun Wen for the Golden Boot award.

At the beginning of the quarterfinals, the United States faced the old powerhouse Germany, the two teams met in the semi-finals of the first Chinese Women's World Cup, when the United States team won, and eight years later, the German team has been reduced to the second-rate women's football team, and the United States team has taken advantage of the host country to become more and more courageous.

However, the situation of the game was unexpected, the German team led 2:1 tenaciously in the first half, and Ling Feng saw the fighting spirit that the German men's football team has always retained from the German girls.

However, in the second half, the United States team, which had the advantage of strength, scored two goals in a row, and finally defeated the opponent 3:2 and successfully advanced.

Brazil faced Nigeria, Brazil led 3-0 in the first half, but conceded three goals in a row in the second half, and was stubbornly equalized by Nigeria, and the two teams went into extra time.

Ling Feng hugged his head and smiled bitterly, the individual skills of the Brazilian team can be said to have inherited the consistent tradition of their men's football team, delicate and excellent, but at the same time, they also inherited the tradition of the Brazilian men's football team and their weak backline.

Brazil's backline is arguably the worst among the world's top teams, but they have always followed Pele's classic adage that the strongest attack is the strongest defense.

The defenders of the Brazilian team like to assist upwards, and often see that there are not many people left in their own half, but unfortunately the opponent has no chance to counterattack, because the Brazilian team's attack is too strong!

The Brazilian women's team is not as attacking as the men's team, but the holes in the back line are obvious, and it is no wonder that they lost to China at the Olympics two years ago and to the United States this year, because both China and the United States are known for their solidity at the back, but the attacking strength is not much worse than that of Brazil.

In extra time, it was Sissi again, and her free kick went straight to the corner of the goal, and the golden ball eliminated the Nigerian team, saying no to the underdog.

Sissi's free kick, it can be said that looking at the entire Women's World Cup, there is no longer a match for her, fast, angle, her free kick skills are put on the men's football team, which is also the world's top level.

Defending champions Norway beat Sweden 2-1 to advance, while China faced Russia, the weakest team in the quarter-finals, with Pu Wei and Jin Yan each scoring a goal to comfortably defeat their opponents while preserving their strength.

The four strongest women's football teams in the world today are now in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Brazil is a rising star, and the three dominant players in women's football in the world have always been the United States, Norway and China.

All three teams play in a fairly masculine style, which is the main reason why they have been able to dominate world football.

These three teams are unique among the world women's football team, and watching them play against other teams, it feels like adults bullying children, the main reason is because they are too old and spicy!

China stands at the pinnacle of the technical and tactical level of women's football in the world; Norway is physically minded; The United States, which is somewhere in between, is more technically and tactically mature than Norway and physically tougher than China, and all three are the earliest beneficiaries of the masculinization of women's football.

Brazil, on the other hand, began to rise after the '96 Olympics with a different Latin style, which is the supremacy of individual skills.

Four teams with different styles that represent the highest level of women's football today!

The USA won 2-0 against Brazil, and the Brazilians had no advantage in terms of their excellent defense and physicality.

And the most shocking thing was the other semi-final, the match between the Chinese team and the old powerhouse Norway!

The Chinese team won 5:0!

Just three minutes after the opening, Sun Wen opened the score, and the most shining player in this game was not Sun Wen, but the No. 10 of the Chinese team, the veteran Liu Ailing!

In the second half of the game, there were two corner kick opportunities, one was a corner kick before the corner kick was driven to the penalty area, Liu Ailing's right foot volleyed directly in the air, and the ball hung directly in the dead corner of the gate!

A ball is after the ball was ferried, and it was Liu Ailing again, but this time it was with a left foot, the same volley, and it was a dead corner!

Two volleys of world waves!

This is definitely a world wave, because even on the men's football team, there are few people who can press the ball so steadily!

When Liu Ailing scored the first goal, the Norwegian goalkeeper sat on the ground and smiled bitterly, but on the second goal, she couldn't even laugh......

If Sun Wen is the sharp knife of the Chinese team's attack, then Liu Ailing is the soul of the Chinese team's midfield, the veteran showed his glory in the game against Norway, and pushed himself to the top level of the world women's football team in one fell swoop!

The Norwegian team was pressed down by the Chinese team throughout the game, and it was not until more than 30 minutes into the first half that the first shot of the game was completed.

Liu Jianhong, the commentator, said very unkindly: "Gao Hong seemed very excited, this was the first time she touched the ball with her hands in this game, which reminded us of Ling Feng's cameo as a goalkeeper when he was in the Hamburg team." ”

Fan Yunjie and Sun Wen scored goals at the last moment, completely defeated the Norwegian team, 5:0, completely suppressed the opponent in the whole game, and the strong strength shown by the Chinese team made everyone look forward to the final!

"Whew......" Ling Feng exhaled, finally arrived at the finals, what kind of beauty will today's rose bowl present?

July 10, 1999, Rose Bowl Stadium, Los Angeles, USA.

This place is a sad place for many Chinese fans.

Five years ago, Baggio missed a penalty here, and the back of the melancholy prince broke the hearts of fans, and five years later, Liu Ying missed a penalty here, and fans across China lamented the loss of Sonorous Rose.

Moreover, this is the closest step in history for the Chinese team to the world championship, and since then, the Chinese women's football team has gone into decline.

Change the fate of this game and change the fate of the Chinese women's football team.

This was Ling Feng's goal, and it was also one of his wishes.

90,185 spectators attended the game, including US President Bill Clinton.

Listening to Ling Feng's colorful description of how Clinton stepped down because of the zipper door, Si Yue's laughing flowers and branches trembled on the side, and when she really saw Clinton herself, there was still a smile on the corner of Si Yue's mouth, which made the lustful president of the United States feast his eyes.

Why was Siyue able to meet Clinton? That's very simple, after all, her company is still an American property, and Clinton is still very interested in meeting this mysterious Chinese beauty and her equally mysterious fiancé.

What's more, Sino-US relations are now in a very delicate period, and at this time, this game can be seen as similar to the "small ball pushing big ball" game in the early 70s.

It was a very hot and tough game, with both teams being among the best teams in the world, both individually and collectively technically and tactically.

The players of both teams played so well and fought fiercely that people even thought they were watching a top men's football game.

But neither team scored until the end of the ninety-minute game, and the game had to go to Ballon d'Or extra time.

Historically, the Chinese team has been very tenacious in overtime, and even pressed the United States back to their own half at one point, and Fan Yunjie's header almost broke through the door of the United States team, but was pushed out by the United States' No. 13 Lily on the goal line.

The unlucky number of 13 has now become a nightmare for the Chinese team.

But today was different, in the twenty-fifth minute of extra time, just when everyone thought the game was going to be a penalty shootout.

Liu Ailing crossed from the right, and Zhang Ouying, the fastest player in the Chinese team, rushed up like a gust of wind, jumped up and crossed in the air, and the ball flew to the back point.

At this time, a red figure burst out from behind, jumped into a fish, and pushed the ball into the gate of the American team with a fierce head!

Sun Wen!

In the 115 minutes of the game, Sun Wen, she scored her eighth goal in this World Cup, and she scored an important golden goal like gold!

Sudden death! The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Chinese team defeated the host United States team 1:0 and won the championship of the third Women's World Cup!

The whole of China is boiling!

The Rose Bowl Stadium became a sea of joy for the Chinese, and Ling Feng even twisted his ass excitedly in front of Clinton, which made the American president, who was already blackened, almost swallow in one breath.

When Sun Wen scored, all the substitutes of the Chinese team rushed into the field and hugged the players on the field.

Sun Wen was pressed under a bunch of people, this feeling is quite uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter, the Chinese team won, the Chinese team snatched the championship of the Women's World Cup from the Americans' doorstep, and they stood at the highest peak of women's football in the world!

The girls of the women's football team all cried with joy, women and men are different, at this time, there is no girl of the Chinese women's football team who does not have tears in their eyes.

1:0, Golden Ball, Sun Wen scored her eighth goal, she surpassed the Brazilian team's Sissi 7 goals, and won the honor of the Golden Boot Award alone!

This is the highest honor of Chinese football in world football - for the time being, the girls of the women's football team did not live up to Ling Feng's hard work in bringing them out to train for a year, and they finally changed history!

Ling Feng exhaled loudly, yes, history has changed, the honor of this Women's World Cup will not be a sign of the decline of the Chinese women's football team, but a prologue to the domination of women's football in the world football!

Phew, the women's football team has finally won the championship, but what about the men's football team? It's not far from winning the championship, right......
