Football: The immortal legend on the green field

In the quarter-finals of the national first-class U17 team, before the match between Liaoning Tianlun and Yangcheng Rishen started, the stadium was already as lively as a temple fair during the Spring Festival.

The stands in all directions were packed with spectators and fans, and the various sounds made by the crowd mixed together, like a jet circling over the stadium.

Thanks to the exaggerated publicity of CCTV5, for the first time in a domestic youth competition, more than 1 fans were attracted to the Wutaishan Gymnasium. They came spontaneously to cheer and see off Shen Bin and Chen Tao who were about to go to Europe.

They hope that China can also cultivate a football hero like Maradona who can lead the national football team to achieve satisfactory results in international competitions.

They have been suppressed for too long, and now they finally see hope in a group of children including Shen Bin.

In addition to the fans in Jinling city, most of the fans at the scene were from all over the country. Although they had no organization and their costumes were colorful, which made it a bit uncoordinated to see them gathered in the stadium, they undoubtedly added more bustling atmosphere to the game.

At this time, the players of the two teams had already lined up and were waiting in the athlete's tunnel to enter the field.

Shen Bin, who started the game, stood in the middle of the team, holding his head high and trying to control his breathing. He was still a little nervous.

After all, this was their farewell match in China. Originally, Gao Haiyang suggested not to let Shen Bin, who had some knee discomfort, play. However, he learned from the organizing committee that so many fans had come from all over the country to see them off. If Shen Bin did not play, it would damage his image among the fans.

Before he walked out of the corridor, Wang Dong poked him from behind and whispered, "Take it easy."

Why is there such a sentence again?

Last night, the central defender Mai Yi, who had never interacted with him, came to his dormitory and sat there for a long time, chatting with him about nothing. It was not until the two of them could not find any new topics to talk about that they stood up and said goodbye. When they reached the door, they said this: "Tomorrow's game,... take it easy."

Before lunch, goalkeeper An Longbiao also said the same thing to him in the corridor. Now Wang Dong said the same thing. What does it mean?

Suddenly, the scene in front of the hotel after the group match against Jilin Aoxi appeared in his mind. Aren’t these three people plus the captain Dai Zhao the ones who let the game go in the match against Jilin Aoxi?

Why did he do this during his farewell match with Chen Tao?

But now there were people all around him, and it was really not the right time to ask Dai Zhao for explanation, so he had to keep all the questions in his heart.

He knew that such things were inevitable in the domestic football circle.

But since this match is the farewell match for him and Chen Tao before they go to Europe, it has attracted attention from many parties. Aren't they worried at all?

But think about it the other way around, even if there is a nationally broadcast match, the adult teams still have to do what they are supposed to do!

After thinking about it, even if he asked Dai Zhao, what would happen! After this game, he would no longer be a member of Liao Province Tianlun. Now the only thing he needed to worry about was his performance on the court and to give an explanation to the fans who came from afar.

Thinking of this, Shen Bin felt a little relieved. He was finally going to leave this disgusting quagmire.

But the most important thing right now is to play this game well.

Shen Bin forced himself to focus on the upcoming game. He stood on the left center circle line, watching Chen Tao and another forward standing in the center circle waiting for the referee to announce the start of the game.

With all these messy things stuffed in his head, Shen Bin seemed to hear the referee whistle to signal the start of the game in a daze.

He immediately took two steps forward and crossed the center line, running sideways while glancing at the ball at Chen Tao's feet.

Through these two games, Chen Tao and Shen Bin have formed a tacit understanding. He caught Chen Tao's diagonal pass without any hindrance, took a dribble, ran two steps, and then took a step forward, kicked his legs and twisted his waist.

The ball immediately flew up, drew a long curve, and headed straight towards the goal of Yangcheng Sunshine.

The goalkeeper stared at the ball that suddenly jumped up in astonishment, somewhat confused.

The referee's whistle had not yet faded away and the game had just begun. Could it be that the forward of Liaotianlun could run into the penalty area to receive this inexplicable pass?

But in a flash he understood what was going on. This wasn't a pass, it was a shot! A shot!

Before his mind could react, his body had already started to react.

He immediately stared at the trajectory of the ball.

He jumped into the air like a taut bow and just managed to lift the ball over the crossbar.

All the fans were stunned by the exaggerated opening.

The stadium, which was as quiet as a small pond in the woods a second ago, immediately turned into a sea of ​​joy. The dull drumbeats sounded as dense as popcorn.

The audience was impressed by the whimsical performance of the kick.

As the game progressed, the discomfort caused by Shen Bin's knee became more and more obvious.

He couldn't run too much, but when he saw that Zhu Han's corner kick was not a direct cross but a pass to Chen Tao, he immediately realized the opportunity and quickly ran to the front point to prepare for the response.

This is an instinct that has been developed through long-term dreams. The opportunities at the front point are always greater than those at the back point.

The Yangcheng full-back also reacted and quickly approached Chen Tao.

Chen Tao made a direct cross.

Wang Dong, who had been preparing to receive the ball at the front point, stretched out his right foot as far as possible, trying to stop the ball, but the ball was a little too high for him and he still couldn't reach it.

As the ball slid past him, Wang Dong turned his head and looked behind him.

Shen Bin, who was just a little inside the penalty area, was now quickly moving forward, although his speed was not very fast.

But the extra time given by anticipation just makes up for the lack of speed, which is enough for him to catch up with the landing point of the ball.

Shen Bin's sudden intervention from behind caught everyone off guard.

Almost no one could imagine that the short Shen Bin could grab this spot before everyone else.

He was just around the 20-meter area, but in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the left side of the penalty area near the bottom line.

A central defender of Yangcheng Rishen quickly rushed forward, trying to compete with Shen Bin for the ball.

Shen Bin saw the opponent's central defender from the corner of his eye, lowering his shoulders and seeming to turn around from the baseline.

The opponent hurriedly moved to the baseline to block.

Shen Bin pushed his left foot outwards and turned around, just brushing past the opponent's center back.

At this moment, the opponent knew that he had been deceived. He felt that he could not stop Shen Bin's breakthrough under normal circumstances, so he had to secretly reach out and push Shen Bin, so as to disrupt Shen Bin's passing rhythm.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Bin leaned to the right while turning around, and with the help of the force from his arm, he rubbed his right foot towards the middle of the ball.

This is not a cross, it's a low, zero-degree shot.

This misjudgment made him Shen Bin's cannon.

The ball went into the net between the goal post and the goalkeeper.

1:0 Liaosheng Tianlun scored the first goal just over 3 minutes into the game.
