Chapter 110: World Youth Championships (Part II)
If it weren't for Ling Feng's decision to come back in the knockout round, the national youth players would probably have no confidence - they had just praised their current psychological quality, but when they really met the world's top team, the hearts of the national youth players were still hanging.
The England team is also wronged enough, if the youth team is so many, their last game with Chile is estimated that both sides will fight to lose - they both want to meet the Chinese team with fish breasts, and Ireland can be regarded as a second-rate team in Europe.
But the news that Ling Feng is coming to participate in the knockout round of the World Youth Championship has long been known on the streets, and the whole world football world is arguing about why Ling Feng came back and whether he should come back - the England team may not know?
Although Ling Feng didn't have much contact with the players in England, he didn't need that kind of thing in the current information-developed society.
England coach Miller specifically found Ling Feng's goal highlights before the game - the result was that he didn't sleep well for three consecutive days......
Such a player is no longer at the level of the youth team, but he is standing at the top of the world!
Miller has to admit that no player other than England's feud Maradona in Argentina has been able to do it so really, beating a team alone.
A good scorer is often called a killer because they are like killers, dormant there, waiting for the crucial moment to kill with one hit!
But this title is really too much to describe Ling Feng - because it is too exaggerated......
Ling Feng is the hero described in Chinese martial arts novels, the killer sees the opportunity before he acts, then the hero is a person who fights you face to face from beginning to end!
So far, Ling Feng has scored in all the games that he has played and played for more than half an hour - and some have not scored, in the first half of the Bundesliga season against Bayer Leverkusen, Ling Feng was shoveled by Schuster after playing for more than ten minutes - an average of 1.68 goals per game and 0.78 assists - this number can be scary to death!
Even more frightening stats are yet to come, with an average of 9,700 metres per game and a 40 per cent success rate – another statistic for a top midfielder.
Such a person is completely worthy of the last team.
Not to mention the current team with an average age of only 19 years old, Miller thought to himself, just let him lead the England national team to meet any team that Ling Feng is in, if he relaxes his vigilance against this young man who is less than 17 years old, he will also fall big.
Miller thinks so, doesn't Chile's head coach Parrett think so?
After the match against Inter Milan, Paulo Ince and Zamorano called the managers of the two youth teams at the same time and told them not to play against Ling Feng if they could!
One is the core of the England team's current midfield, the other is the number one killer of the Chilean team's striker, and the two of them expressed a thought with the youth team coach of the team at the same time, which made both coaches sweat in private.
So in the last game, when it was learned that the Chinese team had won the status of the group, the Chilean team and the England team began to fight - no one wants to meet Ling Feng, but there must be a team to meet.
The score was always 0-0, with England winning the group with a draw due to goal difference, but Chile scored a goal that appeared to be offside in the final five minutes of the game.
It was this controversial goal that allowed Chile to squeeze out England and avoid Ling Feng's China, and after the game, England's head coach Miller could only regret that he was looking forward to playing against Ling Feng, the best player in the world......
After the match against Werder Bremen, Ling Feng boarded a flight to Shanghai, where he would transfer to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – as there was no direct flight from Hamburg.
Once again, he returned to Shanghai International Airport, and the fans who came to greet Ling Feng this time were almost crowded with the airport.
Compared with the last time he returned to China, Ling Feng's reputation in China is far greater than before the Asian Cup - if Ling Feng before the Asian Cup was only the first player in China, then now he is the number one man in China.
For half a year, the topic of the media is inseparable from Ling Feng, until now the World Cup qualifiers are imminent, Ling Feng finally overthrew the Football Association, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the number one person in China this year - no one can attract all the attention of the media in all aspects - to put it mildly, even if the chairman is replaced, it may not be able to cause such a sensation - there are many people who don't care about current affairs, at least the sports media will not report the news.
What shocked all the media and fans happened the moment Ling Feng walked out of the cabin.
Facing the tens of thousands of fans below, Ling Feng slowly knelt down on the landing gear, and at the same time, his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every fan through the airport broadcast, and also to the ears of every Chinese through radio waves.
"What to say, I have already said it when I came back last time, now we have a new football environment, with a good start again, I, Ling Feng, hereby swear in my name and soul, vow to rise Chinese football, as a lifetime task, and vow to let the world see a strong Chinese football!"
Just kneeling in public and saying a few impassioned words, the hearts of all Chinese fans were bought by Ling Feng - Ling Feng thought happily, just getting his pants dirty, and buying so many people's hearts is really a cost-effective business......
Of course, this is just a joke, even if Ling Feng doesn't swear this oath, he has always aimed at what he said, and the World Youth Championships will become the first world-class champion won by Chinese football!
There is a fundamental difference between the world's strongest team and the world champion team, if you ask the veteran fans to talk about it, they will report the World Cup winner every year, but if they are asked to say who the runner-up is that year - I am afraid that the number of people who know it will be cut by at least half!
As for a chicken rib competition like the World Youth Championships, I'm afraid that many fans don't even know who the champion of the year is, let alone the runner-up.
So Ling Feng must win this championship!
The Dutch team was named the uncrowned king because they did not win the World Cup, but the king was preceded by an uncrowned title – not so much a compliment to the Netherlands, but more heartbreaking for the Dutch fans.
Even if you win the World Cup, you can't say that you are the strongest team in the world, let alone the World Youth Championships – but why is this title so important? That's because it represents an honor!
The champion of the World Youth Championships, although the gold content is a little lower, is still the first - the first of the youth team.
Winning this title will give the fans and young players in the country an endless amount of confidence – something that can not be achieved by a runners-up.
Think about that in 1999, the Japanese youth team won the runner-up in the World Youth Championships, and suddenly became rampant, and even shouted that they would win the championship in the next World Youth Championships!
As a result, the group did not qualify, and the gray got out of the way - there is really no self-knowledge!
In the hotel, Ling Feng and Han Jing talked on the phone, and Han Jing told Ling Feng that through her relationship, many scandals of Tianmu Group in the entertainment industry have been dug up, and according to her intelligence, a second-tier actor who was supported by a high-level cadre of Tianmu Group learned some about the sale of drugs and arms during that person's conversation, and the target was directly aimed at Southeast Asia.
This is really good news for Ling Feng - the main victims of the imminent financial crisis are Southeast Asian countries and places such as Japan and South Korea in East Asia, while Hong Kong has hardly been affected by the strong capital of the mainland.
Knowing that Tianmu had a large amount of business in Southeast Asia, Ling Feng was naturally very happy-this can always cause some pain to Tianmu, right?!
And this skin cut refers to the injury of muscles and bones......
Rejecting Han Jing's kindness to see him—in fact, Ling Feng didn't dare to meet Han Jing—after a day of rest at the Shanghai International Hotel, Ling Feng took a flight to Malaysia, the place that "once" made him famous all over the world.
After getting off the plane, there were still many Chinese who went to the airport to greet their heroes, and after Ling Feng stayed for a short half an hour to sign autographs for everyone, he took the bus of the Chinese Youth Team to the training base.
On the way, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, when he came to this strange country with trepidation in his previous life, how could he have thought that he would one day continue his history again with the attention of thousands of people?
There are still three days before the England game, Ling Feng has integrated himself into the team as soon as possible - fortunately, many players have partnered with him in their previous lives, and now although their overall strength has improved, their specialties have not changed, plus Ling Feng's skills in pointing where to play, on the second day of training, Ling Feng can quickly pass the ball through fifty meters to five meters around him according to a shout from his teammates - this is already a very accurate long pass!
Ling Feng's arrival has made the national youth players full of morale, and now in the team, except for Zhang Xiaorui, Li Tie, Sui Dongliang, Sun Jihai and Li Jinyu who accompanied Ling Feng to participate in the Asian Cup at the end of last year, the other players have not played with Ling Feng in a formal manner - which also allows them to see the strength of the legendary Chinese No. 1 player.
In the past few days of training, the training ground is always full of fans and reporters, most of whom come for Ling Feng - of course, there are also enthusiastic and unrestrained beauties, chanting slogans such as "Ling Feng I love you", hoping to get their idols to turn around and smile at themselves - or, to rub off a spark of love......
It's just that Ling Feng behaved very seriously during training, and he never did anything irrelevant to him, and there was no top player who didn't train to play big names - just like this, it hurt the players of the youth team, and some mistakes in the details that were not very noticeable at ordinary times, and after being discovered by Ling Feng, he paused and scolded on the spot - if he scolded three times, he obediently ran to the sidelines to do push-ups!
This is still Ling Feng's punishment reduced by taking into account the physical strength of the players, and in normal times, he will run 10,000 meters and come back to practice again when he is repeatedly taught - Hao Haidong, the current No. 1 striker in China, has been trained in this way......
Under the stick, under Ling Feng's high-pressure policy, the young players did not have the slightest complaint-and did not dare to carry out the task arranged by Ling Feng without the slightest complaint--the pride that had arisen earlier because Ling Feng was coming had long since not known where to fly.
At the same time, Ling Feng gave Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng a special small stove - that is, the two of them teamed up to defend an extremely fast striker - the imaginary enemy was Owen!
At this time, Owen has not yet become famous, and has only scored one goal in three group games, in the eyes of others, that England's No. 10 is not a difficult role, but Ling Feng himself knows that Owen is a form player, don't look at his age now, but just a year later in the game with Argentina, he relied on his speed to score one of the most exciting goals in World Cup history.
It's only been a year, so will it be just a mediocre player a year before Irving becomes famous?
The answer, of course, is not! Ling Feng watched England's three group stage matches and came to the conclusion that Owen was England's wonder man.
Because Irving didn't show his potential as a speedman throughout, his only goal was from the outside of the box, while the rest of the time, Irving was conserving his energy – or rather, hiding his strength.
In Group D, it is necessary to take into account the situation of encountering Ling Feng's Chinese team after qualifying, and Miller is not an idiot, he will naturally think of this, so this speed-type killer has become an important bargaining chip in the decision to attack England in the Sino-British battle, but Miller never thought that this reincarnated Ling Feng was so familiar with Owen, right?
With Ling Feng's ability, Ronaldo, who has a perfect combination of speed and technology, can imitate it, let alone Owen, who is only good at speed and has average (relative) skills.
When Miller received the video of the spies going to the training base of the Chinese Youth Team to investigate, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat - because the last card in his hand had already been seen through by Ling Feng......
