Chapter 296: Lin Feng dribbled past five players and scored, and the National Olympic Team unexpectedly defeated the French Ligue powerhouse and won three consecutive victories! In fact, the main reason why Marseille attacked so fiercely during this period was because they found that the physical fitness of the National Olympic Team began to decline. Young players have greater mental fluctuations and it is easy for them to increase their physical energy consumption due to excessive excitement. In addition, the National Olympic Team's defensive effect in the first half was based on active running. With so much physical energy consumed in the first half, physical problems naturally arose in the second half. Unlike Marseille, most of their players are experienced players who know how to allocate their physical energy properly. In addition, they are the advantageous side, and when their team has control of the air ball, they will consume much less physical energy. Therefore, when formulating the tactics for the second half in the midfield, the Marseille coach emphasized the need to start exerting force around the 65th minute. He predicted that this time point might be when most of the players of the National Olympic Team would encounter physical bottlenecks. If Marseille took the initiative to speed up at this time, the opponent would probably not be able to keep up with their rhythm. Judging from the results, Coach Eamon’s prediction was accurate. The National Olympic team members did have physical problems, especially the two midfielders who had to shoulder a lot of defensive tasks. They were so tired that they could hardly run.
But there are exceptions, such as Lin Feng! He returned to defense less frequently in this game, and the Olympic team did not have many offensive opportunities, so he did not run much and did not even sweat much. But it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a moment to deploy it. The physical strength that Lin Feng had preserved before has now come into play. Seeing Lin Feng retreating to receive the ball, his teammates quickly passed the ball to him. Marseille has gathered many players in the frontcourt. The later the ball is passed, the smaller the passing space will be for the Olympic players. In the end, they will be forced to the sideline by the opponent and lose room for maneuver. As the ball was passed safely, Yuan Weiwei let out a long sigh and felt that the sweat on his eyebrows was about to drip into his eyes. He grabbed his jersey and wiped his face, only to find that the jersey was also sweaty, as if it had been soaked in water. He was so exhausted that he could no longer run. He could only look at his teammate's receding back and silently wish him success. Lin Feng is the main target of Marseille's defense, no doubt about it. Seeing him retreat to receive the ball, the Marseille players immediately felt alarmed. In the blink of an eye, all the nearby players almost subconsciously rushed towards Lin Feng. In the audience's God's perspective, as many as five Marseille players formed an impenetrable net for Lin Feng from all directions, trying to trap him in the net. Seeing this scene, the Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't help but sigh. In the eyes of most people, the National Olympic Team probably had no chance of success in this attack. Even Lin Feng could not withstand the double-team of five opponents. However, Lin Feng knew there was a tiger in the mountain, but he still went there. While running with the ball, he suddenly changed direction with a flick of the ball, avoiding the collision of the Marseille player behind him on the left, and used his body to hold the inside position tightly, making it impossible for Ribery, who was chasing back, to squeeze him out of the sideline. Ribery was shocked. He had planned to take advantage of the confrontation between Lin Feng and his teammates to speed up and rush up from behind to launch a sneak attack, but he was unexpectedly seen through by the opponent. Being only meters tall and weighing only 70 kilograms, he was at a great disadvantage in a physical confrontation with a big guy like Lin Feng who was meters tall and weighed nearly 80 kilograms. Especially when both sides were running at high speed, Ribery didn't even last one round before he was knocked down by Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng pass two people in a row, there was a cry of surprise from the scene, and countless fans who were watching the live broadcast at home stood up and subconsciously moved closer to the TV, wanting to see it more clearly. Although Lin Feng passed two people, the Marseille full-back had already rushed up in front of him, and another Marseille midfielder was also on the way to the front left.
His situation of being surrounded still had not fundamentally improved! At this time, Lin Feng had two choices. One was to rush forward desperately along the flank where the opponent's defense was relatively weak, but this would happen to be Marseille's declining trend. Marseille's defensive midfielder was obviously pushing him to the wing to buy time for his teammates, especially the defenders, to get into position and defend. In this case, even if Lin Feng passed from the wing, the Marseille defender would have already been in position, and it would not be so easy for him to cut inside and complete the shot. In addition to this option, the second option is to cut inside now, pass the opponent's midfielder and defender, and don't give the opponent a chance to defend! If they are ordinary winger, they will most likely choose the first option. But Lin Feng and Kaka are not this type of players. Their range of activities is in the middle, not on the wing. Seeing Lin Feng turn to the middle, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV were all shocked: "What does this guy want to do? Does he want to challenge our entire defense line?" "Is he crazy? There are four of us. Can't four of us stop him?" Marseille fans found Lin Feng's choice unbelievable and subconsciously felt that he had lost his mind. You have to know that it is not even halfway through the game yet, and it is still at least sixty meters away from Marseille's goal. Not to mention the players near Lin Feng, there are as many as four players in front of him alone. With such a wide depth, Marseille had at least three opportunities to intercept. On the contrary, it turned out that they were wrong! Marseille's midfielder Oruma was the first to rush up. He was the player closest to Lin Feng and had the best chance of intercepting the ball successfully, because Lin Feng's speed had not yet been fully increased and he was still in an accelerating state. However, Oruma made the same mistake as Ribery just now. He did not decisively choose to commit a tactical foul, but instead tried to intercept Lin Feng. Lin Feng only used one explosive move to kick the ball five meters away, avoiding him and rushing forward to pass him! Although Oruma was not as slow as the aircraft carrier in turning around, by the time he completed the turn, it was too late. Lin Feng had already taken the ball and left. Seeing his teammate being passed, Marseille defender Choubal quickly stopped retreating and blocked Lin Feng's dribbling route. But Lin Feng's speed had already been fully increased. After seeing the opponent blocking the position, he simply passed the ball to the outside and passed the opponent. The Marseille defender began to regret his choice. He should not have stopped. After stopping, he had no speed and was like a wooden stake. He had no temper and could only symbolically stretch his foot to intercept, which had no effect. This is the fourth defensive player Lin Feng has passed, and now there is only one defender left in front of him. Seeing that his partner was also passed, Beyer couldn't help swallowing. I wondered where this monster came from and why it was so fierce? It was scary enough that his two teammates broke through the wing with their speed, but this guy was even more terrifying. He actually broke through his defense line from the center. Is he still a human? In a flash, Lin Feng was already rushing over with the ball. Beyer had no choice but to go for it, and that was it. Lin Feng was too fast, leaving him too much space to sprint. For players like him and Kaka who dribble the ball with big strides, it seems that the ball is at his feet, but in fact it is not. It is very easy for him to pass you. He doesn't dribble at all. He just kicks the ball forward and competes with you in speed backwards. Either you run faster than him or you foul, there is no third option. Most of Marseille's forces were invested in the attack in the frontcourt, and the backcourt was as empty as a racecourse. At this time, their defenders went up one by one, which was simply giving away their chance! When he passed the opponent's last defender, Lin Feng had already dribbled the ball to the penalty area line, and the only one left in front of him was the Marseille goalkeeper.
The Marseille goalkeeper could no longer sit inside the goal and wait for death, so he chose to attack in panic. Even though he had carefully lowered his center of gravity and let his hands hang down ready to save the ball at any time, when Lin Feng really completed the shot, he still failed to stop the ball! The score became 1:0. The National Olympic Team, which had been passive throughout the game, took the lead in scoring in the second half. Marseille paid the price for their underestimation of the opponent. The strength of the National Olympic Team is indeed not as good as theirs, but the ball is round, and even a weak team can still suffer an upset when facing a strong team. What's more, the opponent's lineup also has a star player like Lin Feng, so they should not take it lightly. After scoring the goal, Lin Feng laughed and stepped back. After reaching the sidelines, he jumped high, crossed his hands and pressed them down, making his signature celebration move! "siu!!!" The Chinese fans who came to the scene cooperated with his performance very well. Although only a few thousand people came today, the momentum they created was more terrifying than that of their opponents with more than ten thousand people. "Haha, this ball is really unexpected!" "One minute ago, the Olympic team's defense was in jeopardy and the opponent could score at any time. In the blink of an eye, the Olympic team was ahead. If someone went to the toilet or got a glass of water and missed the goal, they might wonder if they were watching the same game!" “Although it may be a tactic formulated by Krauchen, I have to say that the goal just now was only possible thanks to Lin Feng’s personal strength!” "Yeah, there are so many people on the other side, but they can't stop him. He is just fast, and he can surpass you with his speed, but you can't do anything about it!" "If I were a player of Marseille, I would be traumatized if I was treated like this by him once." The players of Marseille did have psychological trauma, especially Ribery, who tried to scam Lin Feng but was knocked down by Lin Feng. The shock in his heart was beyond words. Seeing Lin Feng celebrating wildly with his teammates on the sidelines, Ribery was very envious. In previous Marseille games, he was the team's savior. But this time, the opponent stole the limelight. Before the game, Ribery learned that Lin Feng was Inter Milan's star player, and he tried his best to prove his strength in front of the opponent. However, despite his hard work for most of the game, he was still not able to withstand the opponent's counterattack. This made Ribery realize the gap between himself and the top players, and also created a strong sense of urgency in his heart. Time waits for no one. He is already 24 years old this year and can no longer waste his youth in Ligue . Maybe he should consider the olive branch extended by Bayern and showcase his talents on a bigger and higher stage. Ribery's teammate Nasri has similar ideas. After all, Marseille is not a wealthy club. For players with strength and aspirations, this is not their best destination. At best, it is just a transit station! However, unlike Ribery, it was not a Bundesliga team that took a fancy to Nasri, but a Premier League giant. Wenger, who has always liked to buy young players in Ligue 1, has long been eyeing Nasri, the successor to Zidane touted by the French media. Considering that Nasri is only 20 years old this year, he is still very young and has great plasticity, and Wenger has always been known for his ability to train and use young players. In addition, Wenger is French, and it is difficult for young French players to refuse the olive branch he extends. …… The situation of the game changed completely after Lin Feng scored this goal. Although from the scene, there seems to be no major change before and after the goal, Marseille is still taking the initiative and launching an attack on the Olympic Team. But obviously, after Lin Feng's goal just now, Marseille was full of fear of the counterattack of the Olympic Team.
They no longer dared to send a large number of troops to attack without considering the consequences as they did before. They had to be on guard against the opponent's counterattack at all times, especially keeping an eye on Lin Feng and not giving him such an opportunity again. Marseille's offensive power declined, and the National Olympic Team was also unable to attack due to the decline in physical fitness. The scene was frozen for a moment, which made the National Olympic coach Krauchen on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief. During the half-time break, he predicted the opponent's coach's prediction and chose to launch a fatal blow when the opponent took the initiative to speed up. But he kept a cool head and was not overwhelmed by the temporary lead. The overall strength of the National Olympic Team is not as good as that of the opponent, and the players' physical fitness has seriously declined. At this time, they feel that they cannot attack, and attacking will only mean seeking death. Fortunately, Lin Feng's goal gave the players a shot of encouragement, allowing them to rely on this excitement to get through this most difficult period. After passing the physical bottleneck period, the situation on the field of the National Olympic Team improved slightly. But at this time Marseille also reacted. Seeing that the Olympic Team did not press on the victory, they also realized that they were too cautious, so they began to increase their offensive intensity, hoping to equalize the score in the final time of the game. It's just a friendly match, winning or losing is not that important. If Krauchen was coaching the adult national team, he might be very casual at this time. But now he is leading the National Olympic Team, a group of young men in their early 20s. Young players need victory to build up their confidence, especially defeating strong opponents, which can give them more confidence. So the result of this game is very important! Seeing the opponent launch a fierce attack, Krauchen did not hesitate to use up all of his substitutions. On the one hand, we use new forces to strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, we interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm and prevent the opponent's offensive momentum from continuing. Under his on-the-spot command and the united defense of the National Olympic Team, the score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game. The National Olympic Team defeated the strong team with a weak advantage, unexpectedly defeating Marseille, ranked second in Ligue 1, and won three consecutive victories in the French training camp!
