Chapter 1748: Chapter 917: This is a True Soccer Player_2

In this way, the offensive opportunity painstakingly created by Li Shuangying was about to fall into the opponent’s hands.

So, Liu Zhan made a decisive decision and passed the ball to Zhao Xuanming, a long pass from the left to the right, and Zhao Xuanming accurately received the ball from his teammate Liu Zhan.

The Korean team only had one defensive player marking Zhao Xuanming, but even though it was just one player, the Korean team’s players were quite strong, and due to Zhao Xuanming’s distant stop of the ball, he couldn’t quickly launch an assault, so he was stopped by that marking player from the Korean team.

This was quite troublesome.

There were no good opportunities to attack on either flank.

"Ying!"

Zhao Xuanming shouted, passing the ball back to the center to Li Shuangying.

Li Shuangying understood that neither of his teammates had better opportunities, so he had to create one himself amidst the tight encirclement.

Fortunately, the passes from his two teammates had relieved some of his pressure.

Li Shuangying currently had to breakthrough two Korean team defenders, so he took the ball and, with his quick reflexes, swiftly evaded the first one, but the second one was tightly marking him.

On top of that, the Korean team defender he just went past quickly launched a pursuit.

Very quickly.

Li Shuangying brought the ball into the Korean team’s penalty area, and the goalkeeper was ready and waiting.

"Let’s see if Li Shuangying has a chance for a shot, the opponent’s marking is very tight..."

The domestic commentators all held their breath, this ball seemed to have a chance, but it was very difficult because the defensive line of the Korean team was not like the flimsy one from the previous national team.

"Shot!"

The commentator said excitedly.

Yes!

Li Shuangying found the right moment and took a shot.

However.

The shot was blocked by the Korean goalkeeper.

At this critical moment, Zhao Xuanming, who had raced over on the right side, picked up the ball punched out by the Korean goalkeeper.

"Zhao Xuanming follows up, and it’s a goal!"

Zhao Xuanming’s sudden follow-up was undoubtedly a stroke of genius.

Yes!

After receiving the ball that the Korean goalkeeper punched out, Zhao Xuanming immediately took a shot.

At this moment, the player marking Zhao Xuanming from the Korean team made a mistake, and misjudged the situation while the goalkeeper, having cleared the first ball, found it hard to stop the second one since there was a gap between him and the angle Zhao Xuanming chose.

In the end, the ball went in!

In just a few minutes, the national team was temporarily leading 1-0, and this time the opponent was the rather strong Korean team in the Asian division. Undoubtedly, this goal greatly encouraged every player on the Feiyue team, as well as countless domestic fans watching the match live.

"What the hell! Awesome!"

"Beautiful goal!"

"Scoring!"

"Oh my god, I’m a bit confused, did we just score?"

"With the new national team, there’s definitely something there."

"That follow-up was truly extraordinary."

"Strong!"

"These are real footballers; their intensity is amazing, unlike the previous national team... wait, that rubbish old national team couldn’t even compare."

"We have such great players at home?"

"It would have been great to send them earlier!"

"Scoring first against the Korean team, impressive!"

"Just for this goal, even if this match is lost, I will support this new national team."

When Zhao Xuanming’s amazing follow-up scored the second shot after Li Shuangying’s, the domestic sports channel live streams were full of cheering fans.

To score the first point against the Korean team was definitely a major breakthrough for the new national team.

If it were the old national team, managing not to be thrashed by the Korean team would have been quite an achievement, but with this new national team, they actually scored the first goal against the Korean team.

Moreover, fans could clearly see that every player on the new national team was full of energy and very positive, unlike the old national team’s pampered players; they were practically different beings.

"Nicely done!"

On the VIP stands, Ding Yue, upon seeing this goal, clenched his hand into a fist excitedly and said, "Keep it up, beat the Korean team!"

"Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, and Zhao Xuanming’s coordination was truly excellent."

Huang Youjie couldn’t help but sigh.

"This is what our national team’s real footballers should be." Xu Bin smiled faintly and said.

Seeing that the national team could produce players like Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, and Zhao Xuanming, both Ding Yue and Xu Bin, along with Huang Youjie and countless domestic fans, felt very gratified at this moment.

In fact, even the folks at the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association, who previously weren’t very inclined to change the national team, had a new perspective after watching this goal in the match.

It seems that the Feiyue team is indeed a rarely seen excellent team in the country, and might even have a chance to appear on the World Cup stage.

To appear on the World Cup stage would be a huge milestone for the national team; after all, the last time the national team entered the World Cup was more than twenty years ago.

This time for the Yingjia-Mexico World Cup, as long as the revamped new national team plays well, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?

After all, now they aren’t even afraid of playing against the Korean team, and in the Asian division, only the Japanese team is stronger than the Korean team, and even if they can’t beat the Korean and Japanese teams, by defeating other teams, the national team has a great chance to secure a spot in the Asian division and proceed to the World Cup.

At this moment, in Yancheng, domestically.

Inside the General Administration of Sports building.

"Lao Wan, it seems you weren’t wrong about the Feiyue team. This team can indeed create miracles. Their strength and mutual coordination are truly strong. It’s not easy for a team to achieve this level of cohesion."

Li Huimin said to Wan Hao.

"Indeed, we’ll see their results in the World Cup Pre-Matches, but judging by the first few minutes against the Korean team, their spirit is something rarely seen before."

Wan Hao couldn’t help but sigh as well.

Today, these two were watching the live match together to see what the top-ranked team in the Xia Super League, chosen by the General Administration of Sports, could achieve on the World Cup Pre-Match stage.

"Pity about that ball, it was a close chance!"

Just as Wan Hao and Li Huimin were chatting, Li Shuangying, with the cooperation of teammate Liu Zhan, launched another highly threatening attack, and this time there was a chance for a goal, but unfortunately, it was intercepted by the Korean defenders in their intense scramble.

"The Korean team is fighting like a cornered beast."

Wan Hao couldn’t help but analyze a bit.

Meanwhile, at the match site in Seoul’s sports center, Korean fans cheered when they saw this crisis being resolved.

However!

In the upcoming match, these Korean fans wouldn’t be cheering for long.

In the twenty-fifth minute, the Korean team launched a fierce attack and forcibly broke through the national team’s rear line; several defensive players desperately defended, and it was apparent that the Korean player carrying the ball hit the national team’s defender, but the referee on site did not whistle or show a yellow card.

"Damn, not even a card for such a foul?"

"This is insane!"

"It’s over, the Korean team is playing dirty."

The national team fans on site were furious, but their voices were too small, after all, the numbers were not in their favor.

And domestic fans watching the live stream could only condemn angrily in the chat rooms.

On the field, the referee not blowing the whistle gave the Korean team a large space for attacking, and the national team defenders remained restrained, avoiding resolving the situation through fouls.

"The Korean team shoots!"

"Beautiful! Saved by goalkeeper Zhu Cheng!"
