Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Fan Peixi’s Ambition
In the 80th minute of the match, Feyenoord had not given up yet.
Their midfielder made a steal in the frontcourt, and Deng Kai, surrounded, passed the ball, which hit the opponent and lost possession.
Feyenoord played a through ball in the midfield.
Fan Peixi instantly took off, charged into the penalty area, and fired a powerful shot that breached Sporting Lisbon’s goal for the third time.
Three to five!
Fan Peixi completed a hat-trick!
In the following time, Feyenoord continued to attack fiercely, as if everything was still possible.
The 88th minute.
Deng Kai, who had been dispossessed before and caused his team to concede, took his revenge.
It was another steal in the frontcourt.
Deng Kai and Ronaldo, two against one at the frontcourt!
At the edge of the penalty area, Deng Kai was poised to shoot at any moment, forcing the opposing center-back to leave Ronaldo unattended.
Ronaldo broke into the penalty area.
Deng Kai delivered a through pass.
Ronaldo received the ball on the left side of the penalty spot, unmarked!
"Chris! Chris gets the ball, he’s going for the shot! He’s going for the hat... "
"Pass!"
"Another pass!"
"It’s Deng Kai again, following up with a shot!"
"Feyenoord’s goalkeeper was completely drawn by Chris, Deng Kai scores in an open net!"
"Six to three! Sporting Lisbon have secured their biggest victory of the season!"
"Let’s congratulate them! With this, they become direct competitors with their last opponent of the group stage, Torino U15, winner advances! They have earned the initiative!"
"It has to be said, the choices Chris made in the second half of the match were really unexpected."
"He passed to his teammate Deng Kai for an assist twice in almost open-goal situations. This selfless behavior is entirely different from the public’s perception of him."
"This is a good sign."
"Despite missing out on a goal-scoring hat-trick, Chris nonetheless wore another hat in the match as he completed an assist hat-trick!"
"Of course, Deng Kai’s performance was still dazzling, with two assists and two goals. He remained the player who created the most dangerous opportunities in the match!"
"Fan Peixi might have managed to win if there was only one of Chris or Deng Kai. But facing two geniuses who are not inferior to him, Fan Peixi somewhat struggled to make an impact on his own."
In the end, the score of the match was locked at six to three.
Ronaldo was named the best player of the match based on his stats.
In an interview after the match, Ronaldo explained his passing: "I’m not a player who doesn’t pass, I just prefer shooting and scoring goals."
"Kai is an excellent midfielder. He taught me how to find a balance between scoring and passing."
"Was my pass to him too deliberate? That’s not something I consider; as long as it helps the team win, being a little deliberate is not a problem."
Regarding this major change in Ronaldo, reporters also interviewed Deng Kai, hoping to find out how he influenced Ronaldo to make the change.
Deng Kai raised two fingers.
Reporter: "You mean two points. The first being the team’s victory is more important than scoring goals. The second is that when Chris evolves from a goal-scoring machine to a symbol of victory, that is progress."
Deng Kai kept nodding. Reporters sure can imagine things.
My meaning was twenty thousand.
Taking people’s money is like eating their food; it makes one compliant.
In response to the performance of these two players, Fan Peixi, from Feyenoord, also commented during an interview: "It’s a pity I couldn’t face Chris on fair terms this time. He had a great assistant, and I didn’t."
"Chris did well, but there should still be some gap between him and me."
"Deng Kai is the best midfielder I’ve seen at his age, and even at my age, he is very competitive."
In regards to the evaluation of Fan Peixi, the reporter persisted, "Then how does Deng Kai compare with the already advanced midfield ’Twins’ of Ajax?"
If this year’s Youth Champions League was marked by Fan Peixi and Torres’ rivalry, with stars like Ronaldo, Robben, Quagliarella, and even Schweinsteiger playing as winger shining brightly.
Then in the midfield, it was the ’Twins’ of Ajax who stood out amongst everyone.
Fan Peixi: "I think Deng Kai is no less talented than Van der Vaart and Sneijder. His playing style is very similar to Van der Vaart, perhaps not quite reaching the same level, but he also has some of Sneijder’s traits, which is his greatest advantage."
The comments by Fan Peixi, who had faced the Ajax ’Twins’ multiple times, drew attention from the media in the Netherlands, England, and more.
Could the football Caesar from Portugal really be discussed on par with the Dutch midfield ’Twins’?
Really?
...
"Ding! You’ve earned a victory, and your rating for this match is SS!"
"Reward received: Super Training Stakes*3, Dong Long Special Drinks*3, the Ambition of Fan Peixi’s star card dropped."
Compared to previous rewards, there were fewer this time, but the quality was very high.
These upgraded items were much more precious than the basic rewards.
"Ambition of Fan Peixi: I’m not in it for the money, I just have the ambition to compete for championships! Jump +3, Heading +3, gain the purple star skill [Van Persie Fish Jump]."
"Van Persie Fish Jump: What destroyed the invincible Spanish armada was not the British navy, but Van Persie’s fish jump! The distance, height, power, and accuracy of your headers improve. When facing a back line with Spanish players, this enhancement is boosted. If you fail to win a championship in any season, this skill will be permanently forgotten."
Uh...
This...
In the 2011-2012 season, Fan Peixi reached the pinnacle of his career at Arsenal, scoring thirty goals and winning the Premier League Golden Boot.
Just when Arsenal fans were looking forward to the next season, Fan Peixi defected to Old Trafford, joining Manchester United, Arsenal’s archrivals.
For this, Fan Peixi explained it was because he had the ambition to compete for championships.
Fan Ambition, Na Personal Gain, Song Fame, Fa Loyalty, the story of Arsenal’s Four Gentlemen is known to all.
Among all the football jokes, Arsenal had a lion’s share, occupying eight out of ten.
The most widely circulated was the story of Loyalty.
Because it was a huge disaster for both Arsenal and Fabregas himself.
Who would have thought that even Fan Peixi’s ambition could drop, next time could it be possible to get Shooting Boots?
But to give credit where it’s due, this drop is indeed mighty powerful.
Adding to jumping and heading stats, the bonuses are substantial.
And it even comes with a purple skill.
"Van Persie Fish Jump"!
In the 2014 Brazil World Cup Group B match between Spain and the Netherlands, Fan Peixi’s flying header scored and was named one of the top ten goals of the tournament!
He helped the Dutch team thrash Spain with a score of 5-1, defeating the invincible Spanish fleet which had won three consecutive major tournaments and established a dynasty!
Controlling headers is already difficult, and the future of football will not lack super strikers; there are excellent wingers one after another, but there is hardly a qualified pivot striker.
To think the legendary demon striker Harland isn’t good at headers, can you believe it!
Wanting a forward who can attack and coordinate with headers would be no exaggeration to say it’s one in a hundred.
Among types of headers, the fish jump is even more difficult.
Because during the fish jump, the player’s body is in a state of uncontrolled motion.
This skill not only enhances the effectiveness of the fish jump but also gets further strengthened when facing defenders and goalkeepers who are Spanish players.
Calling it a "Spanish team killer" wouldn’t be too much.
Looks like going to La Liga to develop would be a good choice.
Are there any Spanish teams in this Youth Champions League?
Yes, and quite formidable ones, having already advanced.
That would be the Atletico Madrid U15 squad with the legendary striker Torres!
