CHAPTER 1889: CHAPTER 987: AN OWN GOAL APPEARS!

Wow!

Just like that, the Spanish Team practically handed Xin Feiyang a great opportunity to score.

"It’s now or never, my moment of destiny!"

With unyielding determination, Xin Feiyang seized the opportunity and took the shot.

Though the Spanish Team’s goalkeeper reacted quickly, Xin Feiyang’s kick was packed with years of "endurance" from playing secondary roles. Today, he finally took a shot as a leading striker against the opponent’s goal.

So, the power behind this kick was incredibly strong.

Even though the Spanish Team’s goalkeeper got a hand on the ball, it still slipped through because the power was too immense. It’s nearly impossible to stop it with both hands trying to hold onto it directly.

Indeed.

After the ball grazed the goalkeeper’s palm, though slightly deviated by the force, it was still within the goalposts’ range and finally surged into the net.

"Goal! One to zero, Xin Feiyang scores!"

The commentator shouted excitedly.

"Whoa! Amazing!"

"What the...!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Who was that?"

"Number 12, Xin Feiyang, right?"

"Damn, a midfield support broke through and scored?"

"What else is there in the national team that I didn’t expect?"

"Truly full of hidden talents!"

All the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

Even Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, and Principal Xu Dongcheng, who were there in person, never expected Xin Feiyang would actually take the shot. Everyone thought he would break through to a certain position and then pass the ball to Li Shuangying or Liu Zhan, letting these experienced and strong forwards attack and score.

Instead, Xin Feiyang scored himself.

And it was a goal.

The score suddenly became one to zero.

Within less than ten minutes of the start, the national team took the lead by one point. It’s truly exhilarating, sparking immense excitement and inspiration among the domestic fans and spectators.

Could it be that reaching the finals and competing for the championship is truly within reach?

"Hahaha, Yue, this Xin Feiyang is quite something; how come we didn’t see this before?"

Huang Youjie laughed heartily.

"Principal Ding, I think this number 12 player, Xin Feiyang, his attacking style really resembles that of Li Shuangying and the others. Could it be that this player used to be a forward?"

Principal Xu Dongcheng quickly deduced a possible reason.

"Perhaps."

Ding Yue pondered and said, "It looks like our team made ample preparations for this match and had quite a few hidden cards."

Back when Feiyue Football Club hadn’t joined the Xia Country Football League, Ding Yue only knew that Captain Li Shuangying was impressive, and both Liu Zhan and Zhao Xuanming were emerging talents. But he hadn’t learned much about Xin Feiyang.

Later, when Ding Yue reviewed the team roster, he merely saw Xin Feiyang listed as a midfielder, and not even a primary one, because the main midfielder was Zhu Tan, a tall and strong guy, so other midfielders were there to support Zhu Tan.

Now it seems, as Principal Xu Dongcheng analyzed, Xin Feiyang might have previously played the main attacking position with Li Shuangying and the others, but was later reassigned. However, his leading offensive skills and strength never faded as he must have trained doubly hard.

Thinking this way truly made Ding Yue marvel at how outstanding these young players are.

After this goal, the national team gained a leading advantage.

The Spanish Team’s reaction was one of surprise as well.

They genuinely hadn’t expected the opponent to have a midfielder so adept at attacking.

After the initial shock and amazement, the Spanish Team quickly got back into form. To them, conceding a point was no big deal, considering not even ten minutes had passed and there was a long way to go.

However, what the Spanish Team had to take note of was that the attacking number 12 player, Xin Feiyang, shouldn’t be given more opportunities.

In fact, by this point, a crisis had arisen for the Spanish Team.

With such a proficient attacking player on the opposing side, the Spanish Team had no choice but to allocate more defensive resources to mark Xin Feiyang. But their defensive resources were limited, meaning if they marked Xin Feiyang, they’d undoubtedly have to divert players away from guarding Li Shuangying, Liu Zhan, or Zhao Xuanming.

This would effectively lessen the defensive attention on Li Shuangying and create chances for them, wouldn’t it?

So.

The emergence of Xin Feiyang not only surprised and shocked the Spanish Team but also presented them with a crisis.

After gaining possession, the Spanish Team quickly launched counterattacks, but each attempt was defused by the national team, given they scrutinized us so thoroughly, but haven’t we also studied them just as well?
