Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 180 Defeated the Swedish team [-]-[-] and bid farewell to Ibrahimovic (please vote for me)
  After the second half of the game, it was easy to find the weakness of the Swedish players.

In fact, their running intensity did not decrease, but everyone seemed to be repelled by the score of zero to two.

According to the current situation, even if they can get one back through unremitting efforts, the final qualifying situation will be very tight.

The flame of hope is gradually disappearing.

The mental attributes provided by big brother Ibrahimovic were slowly weakening at this time, and he was unable to rekindle the hope of his teammates.

This is something he cannot do no matter how powerful he is.

Due to the physical exertion in the first half, the Swedish team continued to suffer from cramps in the second half. Many weak substitute players came on to supplement the team's back strength.

In the [-]th minute of the game, first forward Marcus Berry could not hold on and walked off the court lonely.

Then, the team's midfielders Sebastian and Forsberg were exhausted one after another, and coach Hamlen had to use substitutions one after another.

This is a team that lacks more stars and lacks creativity and inspiration.

Now the main players are leaving one after another, which makes them even worse.

"We saw that the Swedish team was still running very hard during this period, so that many people suffered from cramps."

He Wei's voice sounded in the live broadcast room, "This is definitely worthy of praise. Their players are fighting to the last minute with the old captain Ibrahimovic."

"But football requires more than that. This is a place where superstars need to shine. You can try to be like Chen Yufeng, who attacks the team in free kicks, or you can be like Nainggolan, who uses Shocking long-range shot penetrated the goal!"

"Otherwise, even if you run [-] meters in this game, you will probably be the one who fails."

He Wei's voice was full of regret. As time passed by, Ibrahimovic's last major intercontinental competition might end like this.

This is definitely sad for an epoch-making Swedish star.

They fell at the feet of the Belgian team with a fierce offensive line, and could only watch this group of teams with more dazzling stars advance to the knockout rounds.

"Beep!"

In the [-]nd minute of the game, the substitution card was raised on the sidelines, and Chen Yufeng was replaced by Carrasco.

Chen Yufeng, who once again completed a goal and an assist today, walked off the court and once again received applause from the fans.

There is no doubt that his performance is outstanding.

Even if this is not a big victory, being able to participate in the team's two goals in such a crucial battle is undoubtedly a heroic performance.

Wilmots had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time. After seeing Chen Yufeng coming down, he walked up with a towel and sports drink.

"That free kick was really great. You are the lucky star of the whole team."

As usual, he did not hesitate in his words of praise, and despite the fact that Chen Yufeng was wet all over after just finishing the game, he stepped forward and gave him a big hug, "I hope you can perform like this in the knockout round."

Looking at the Asian face in front of him, Wilmots was most fortunate that he recruited him into the team and tried to use him in friendly matches.

Look at Chen Yufeng's performance in the three group matches now!

Simply calling him the best player in the entire European Cup group stage is nothing more than that!

Four goals and three assists.

These are all real European Cup results.

It is completely expected that Chen Yufeng's net worth will increase greatly after the European Cup schedule is over.

He will become a hot superstar across Europe and enter the field of vision of more people.

“I’m looking forward to the knockout rounds.”

Chen Yufeng replied with a smile, then sat on the bench to watch the team's next game.

During this period, the physical fitness of both sides has declined somewhat, the offensive rhythm has slowed down, and there have been more mistakes.

This is actually normal, it depends on who can catch it.

In the [-]th minute of the game, after Meunier wasted an absolute good opportunity from a set kick, Ibrahimovic then volleyed and missed the goal.

Both parties have some intention of giving gifts to each other.

It wasn't until the [-]th minute of the game that Hazard was trapped on the left side of the frontcourt. He made an amazing burst of acceleration and directly threw away the entire Swedish defense line.

"Oh!"

The subsequent cross was sent towards the neutral position at the front of the penalty area and found a relatively deep position.

Meunier wanted to stop the ball and pass the ball, but suddenly he heard a voice behind him, "Here I come!"

"Bang!!"

Hearing the sound, Meunier quickly missed it. He also saw Nainggolan stop the football and violently volley towards the Swedish team's goal again.

This shot rubbed against the knee of Granqvist, who came up to block it, forming a strange line and flying towards the upper corner of the goal at great speed.

Isaacson was completely stunned and made a last-ditch attempt without success.

"Whoa!" The sound of wiping the net quickly sounded, and all the Belgian players were stunned. Then they raised their hands and looked at Nainggolan.

Another world wave!

Nainggolan scored twice with a long shot!

"Oh!" The latter rushed to the sideline again, kicked the corner flagpole angrily to vent his emotions, and celebrated his extraordinary long-range shooting today.

"We can't let them easily kick off in that position."

After Sweden goalkeeper Isaksson got up from the goal, he spread his hands towards his teammates with a grimace.

The Belgian team scored three goals today and made waves in the world.

This has completely put his self-confidence into question, making him doubt whether he is really suitable to be a goalkeeper.

This kind of doubt will definitely accompany him forever, and if serious, it will affect his status in the club.

This time, no one replied to Isaacsong. Even captain Ibrahimovic lowered his head in frustration and said nothing. They just listened quietly to the carnival of the Belgian fans at the scene, and sometimes glanced at the Swedish fans in yellow with apologetic eyes.

There were quite a few Swedish fans here today, at least more than [-].

It's a pity that they did not perform satisfactorily, and they did not even see a victory...

"Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

Soon, as time finally ended, the referee's voice sounded.

"Beautiful! We qualified!!"

"We are going to the knockout rounds! Come on! Team Belgium!!"

"Wonderful performance, back to form!"

The entire Belgian fans cheered immediately, and all the Belgian players also ran around the field to celebrate.

Chen Yufeng also rushed to the court waving his hands at this time, celebrating with De Bruyne Hazard and others.

This group stage journey is really not easy.

They were on the verge of life and death several times, and it was only at the last moment that they were determined to qualify.

"I knew the chain was going to fall over there!"

Wilmots on the sidelines even vented his emotions angrily at this moment, "Ireland actually beat Italy! Damn football!"

"It seems that our choice is right, and we should take our destiny into our own hands! Fortunately, the players are strong!"

Wilmots said as he hugged everyone on the team.

His popularity is very good, and most of this comes from his careful management in daily life. He will take good care of everyone and fulfill his responsibilities.

This is an advantage he has found for himself who has average coaching ability.

"The game is over! Belgium has six points and has entered the knockout rounds! Congratulations to them!"

In the CCTV commentary room, He Wei's concluding remarks sounded: "And we have to say goodbye to the Swedish team. They had a painful European Cup trip and finally fell in front of the Belgian team."

"This is very likely to be Ibrahimovic's final performance in the national team. We can only say goodbye to him today and hope that he will still have fighting spirit in the future and be able to lead this group of young men who need the backbone to make another run. .”

"We saw the players of the Swedish team sitting on the ground. There is no shame in losing to Belgium. They just feel disappointed and feel that they did not give the fans a wonderful game!"

"But I think when they look at the Belgian squad, it makes them feel a little bit better."

"They will see the peerless talents who have become famous in European football in recent years, De Bruyne, Hazard, Courtois and Lukaku."

"We will also see the winger Chen Yufeng who has the attributes of a late bloomer. He debuted last year and has become a super shooter this year!"

"The one who defeated them was an excellent team! A top team! We are also looking forward to Belgium's knockout tour and hope they can go further!"

"The broadcast of the group stage is over. In a few days, let us enter the more intense knockout rounds and watch these top teams in the world engage in more exciting battles."

"I'm He Wei, see you in a few days."

"..."

On the court, Ibrahimovic sat in front of the penalty area a little lonely, looking at the turf for a long time and unwilling to return to his senses.

The feeling of leaving is always very painful.

Especially this, leaving the stage prematurely, which may be his last performance, will make him feel even more heartbroken.

Throughout his career, his resume can be said to be full of brilliance, but also full of regrets.

What he wants most is the Champions League championship and a breakthrough with the Swedish national team, which he cannot achieve despite all his efforts.

Suddenly, Ibrahimovic felt the sound of walking next to him. He looked over from the corner of his eye and saw a figure wearing a Belgium team jersey.

Ibrahimovic looked up and saw Chen Yufeng's face and Chen Yufeng's stretched out hand.

"Snapped."

The two held hands together, and Ibrahimovic sat up from the ground with the help of Chen Yufeng.

"I've heard you, many times."

Ibrahimovic forced a smile, then pointed to his jersey, "Do you want to exchange jerseys? I think the probability of the two of us meeting again in the future is equal to none."

"Of course." Chen Yufeng nodded and began to take off his jersey. After exchanging with Ibrahimovic, he continued: "I just want to come over and comfort you."

"Hahaha." Ibrahimovic shook his head and said nothing. He still maintained his pride in front of outsiders, as if he was fine.

"The regret of the Champions League and the regret of the national team's intercontinental competition or the World Cup are something that many stars cannot escape."

Chen Yufeng shook his head and said: "Zlatan, you are always very confident in the media, but I think you can be more tolerant of yourself."

Hearing this, Ibrahimovic didn't speak for a while. It wasn't until he walked many steps that he turned around and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Thirty-one soon." Chen Yufeng smiled slightly, "Not bad, right?"

"Thirty-one?" Ibrahimovic felt a little surprised, and then patted Chen Yufeng on the shoulder, "Come on, you still have four years to catch up with Zlatan."

"Hahahaha..." The two laughed together, and Chen Yufeng said afterward: "The difference is that I want to win all the awards."

"Oh." Ibrahimovic raised his eyebrows and didn't speak for a long time. He turned around when they were leaving in the player tunnel. "I support you. If the day comes, I will send you a congratulatory message. Trust me."

"Hahahahaha."

Da Fengxian's laughter sounded again. Chen Yufeng raised his eyebrows expectantly, then turned and walked away.

For him, qualifying in the group stage only means the beginning of a new journey, but it does not mean that anything has been accomplished.

The knockout rounds will be his main battlefield.
