Football: The immortal legend on the green field

At the start of the game, Panama's No. 9 Neil Mason passed the ball back to No. 6 Christopher. Dong Fangzhuo quickly ran across half the court and harassed Christopher. Christopher passed the ball to No. 10 midfielder Ryanidas. Panama's No. 10 made a direct long pass into the penalty area. After the kick-off, Neil Mason started quickly and ran into the Chinese team's penalty area with all his strength.

Feng Xiaoting, who was following suit to mark the opponent's forward, seemed careless. Neil Mason looked back at the moon and lightly headed the ball. The ball flowed down to his feet. Feng Xiaoting hurriedly rushed to grab the ball, but was passed by the opponent with a simple feint. Then he had a one-on-one opportunity. Fortunately, his shot hit the crossbar and Shen Bin couldn't help it.

To his teammates who were sleepwalking on the field, Shen Bin shouted, "Pay attention to the defensive level! Watch out behind you. Lao Hei, you look like you haven't woken up yet. Why don't you step forward to block the opponent's pass? You easily missed the opponent and let the Panamanian pass the ball behind you. And Feng Xiaoting, concentrate and cheer up. Zeng Cheng, shout and direct the defense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, No. 10 Ryanidas intercepted the ball from Hao Junmin in the midfield, then made a quick counterattack and passed the ball again. Zhang Fanlin flew to tackle, but because he misjudged the distance between him and the ball, he did not touch the ball and watched it slip past him.

Lü Jianjun was caught off guard and did not expect Hao Junmin and Zhang Fanlin to make mistakes at the same time. He had no choice but to rush to grab the ball, but Panama's other striker No. 11 Ivan Baker did not stop the ball, but directly passed it diagonally behind Lü Jianjun, to the left side of the Chinese team's penalty area. It was at the junction of Lü Jianjun and Fan Weiwei, but now there was no one defending!

Neil Mason, the striker who scored Panama’s only goal in the first two group matches, started quickly, cut diagonally into the penalty area, and caught up with the ball!

"Oh no..." Lu Jianjun turned around and saw the opponent shooting with his right foot!

Zeng Cheng did not expect the opponent to shoot as soon as he received the ball. He was preparing to dive out to block the angle, but when he saw the football flying towards him, he could no longer reach out to block it. He could only watch the football fly over his head and into the upper corner of the goal!

goooooooal!

The ball went in! Just in the second minute of the first half, Panama took the lead!

1:0.

"This... this goal went in. The goal was scored by Neil Mason, a striker who plays for the Mexican League team Franco-Americano. He scored the second goal for Panama in this World Youth Championship. So far, both of Panama's goals in the World Youth Championship have come from Neil Mason."

"The Chinese team made a mistake and the opponent took advantage of it," Liu Jianhong said helplessly. "The Chinese team's performance was a bit abnormal from the beginning. Shen Bin, the core of the team, has not touched the ball so far. His performance also directly affected the performance of the Olympic team's midfield. This goal was because the midfield lost control and the opponent easily counterattacked successfully."

"Damn it!" Krauschen turned around and kicked the coach's chair. Losing the ball was not worth getting so angry about, but he couldn't stand losing the ball like this. Before he finished speaking, the other side scored a goal. What was this? All of them ignored his pre-match instructions.

Good organizational skills, flexible personal skills, good coordination in the middle. They have completely forgotten all these characteristics of Panama!

But after getting angry, seeing Gao Haiyang and Ali Han sitting in the coaching booth as calm as a rock, Krauchen was a little puzzled: "Aren't you going to say something? They don't know what to do in the current situation."

"Don't worry about them." Gao Haiyang snorted. "This situation is caused by themselves. It's a good opportunity to test them. Let's see how they will behave in this situation."

"..."

Krauchen thought Gao Haiyang was angry with those guys. "...What if he really loses?"

"Lost? Humph! That's great. We can teach this group a lesson. No team qualified from the qualifiers for nothing. This is a good opportunity for them to calm down.

Ali Han smiled and said, "I'm afraid I've disappointed you. As long as Shen Bin is on the court, they will immediately return to normal."

Panama's Ryanidas was picking up the ball from the goal and running towards the midfield. They didn't want to miss any chance to qualify.

On the National Youth Team side, Shen Bin had gathered all the players together. "Hey! Who is responsible for No. 11?" Feng Xiaoting began to loudly question his teammates, "How could he be allowed to run to that place so easily?"

Zhang Fanlin stood up and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

Feng Xiaoting stared at Zhang Fanlin, who had tattoos on his arms and looked like a gangster, and said, "That's right! What were you thinking just now? Why did you tackle so easily? Don't you know that this is a big taboo for defenders?"

"Tsk! What are you doing? Why don't you come over to fill in the position? If you fill in the position, the opponent won't save you and will at most pass the ball horizontally."

"Fuck! What did you say?"

"Stop arguing!" Shen Bin quickly pulled away Zhang Fanlin who was trying to push forward like a bull. "The ball has already been lost. There's no point in arguing! This is not any one person's fault. We are all in a relaxed state. I don't know if the outside interference has affected you. We are all too relaxed."

"First, do you think Panama is a weak team that can win by playing casually? Second, have companies started to contact you? You are all like bumpkins who have never seen the world. You are so proud of a million or two. I earned hundreds of millions last year, and I still have to play every game seriously."

“My goal is one billion or two billion per year.”

"That amount of advertising endorsements is not even enough to buy the wheels of a McLaren sports car. That's all you can do. It's shameful."

"Don't you want to live in a Beijing courtyard house, drive a Rolls-Royce, and date a girlfriend like Rosamund Kwan?"

Deng Zhuoxiang's eyes lit up again: "I want Yang Mi!"

Shen Bin held his head in his hands and said, "Are you crazy? I have told you countless times that Yang Mi is not suitable. Choose a new one."

“Hahahaha…” Although these guys were making fun of Deng Zhuoxiang, they were laughing with their eyes shining. They ran away yelling and stood in their own positions. Everyone seemed to be filled with infinite power.

"The Chinese team seemed to have had some minor disputes," Liu Jianhong said with a frown. "It's understandable how they felt after conceding a goal, but they shouldn't have blamed their teammates. Feng Xiaoting was too impulsive! Fortunately, the national youth team's mainstay is here, and the boys seem to have regained their confidence."

The Chinese team kicked off from the center circle and the game resumed. Panama took the lead and their morale was high. Shen Bin received the return pass from Deng Zhuoxiang, took two steps, waited for Neil Mason and Ivan Baker to double-team him, then dribbled the ball sideways and pushed it to Chen Tao on the wing with the arch of his foot.
