In Kunming, Yunnan, an ancient and mysterious land, a football storm is about to unfold. At the center of this storm, a young player's figure is particularly eye-catching—that is Lin Feng, who has just returned from the European arena.
Lin Feng and his agent, Snyder, flew together, traveling thousands of miles to arrive in Kunming.
The moment he stepped out of the airport, Lin Feng took a deep breath of fresh air, as if he could smell the football atmosphere permeating this land.
He was dressed in simple casual wear, but it could not hide his heroic spirit. His short hair looked clean and sharp. His eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if he was ready to face all challenges.
Snyder was busy arranging the next itinerary, while Lin Feng stood quietly to the side, gazing into the distance, seemingly deep in thought. He knew that his return this time was not just to participate in a match, but also to prove his strength and contribute his power to the National Team.
On the way to the training base, Lin Feng enjoyed the scenery of Kunming through the car window. This city had a unique charm that made him feel both familiar and strange. He knew that this would be his new starting point and the stage for him to achieve his dreams.
The Haigeng Training Base is located in the suburbs of Kunming, surrounded by beautiful scenery and fresh air. It is a training ground for the National Team and many professional clubs, with complete facilities and excellent training conditions. Lin Feng had heard his teammates mention it many times and was already full of anticipation.
Upon arriving at the base, Lin Feng and Snyder were warmly received by the staff. They toured the various facilities of the base, including the training ground, gym, and medical room, and praised the conditions there.
In the locker room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Lin Feng stood quietly in front of his locker, his hands gently caressing the brand-new National Team jersey. Every line on the jersey appeared so clear and powerful, as if carrying the glory and dreams of countless predecessors.
He slowly took off his casual clothes and put on the long-awaited jersey. The jersey was close-fitting and comfortable, as if it had become one with him. He took a deep breath, feeling the heavy sense of responsibility that the jersey brought.
After changing, Lin Feng slowly walked to the mirror in the locker room. In the mirror, his eyes were firm, and his face was resolute, as if he was ready to face all challenges. He looked down at the national flag on his chest, a dazzling Five-star Red Flag, representing the honor and dignity of his homeland.
At this moment, Lin Feng's heart was filled with excitement. He was no longer the student fighting on the European field, but a warrior representing the entire country. He understood that wearing this jersey meant he bore the expectations and trust of hundreds of millions of fans, and the mission of winning honor for his country.
He gently caressed the national flag, feeling the heavy glory. He knew that this moment of glory belonged not only to him but also to all those who had worked hard for the nation's football. He wanted to turn this glory into motivation and belief, and perform at his best in the upcoming match.
When Lin Feng walked out of the locker room, he seemed to step from a quiet world into another vibrant space. The sunlight streamed onto the field, and several teammates were warming up in groups of two or three, their figures leaping on the green field, full of vitality and fighting spirit.
Lin Feng's gaze first fell on the National Team's goalkeeper, Wang Dalei. Wang Dalei was tall, with well-defined muscles, and he was focused on his goalkeeping practice. Lin Feng smiled slightly and walked towards him.
"Brother Dalei!" Lin Feng greeted him warmly, a friendly smile on his face.
Wang Dalei turned around, saw Lin Feng, and also showed a brilliant smile. "Oh, our student has returned!" he joked, his eyes sparkling with joy.
Lin Feng walked up to Wang Dalei, patted his shoulder, "Yes, I need to perform well this time and not disgrace the National Team." His tone revealed determination and confidence.
Wang Dalei nodded, his eyes showing recognition and encouragement for Lin Feng. "Don't worry, we all know your strength. This time, let's work together to win more honors for the National Team!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if at this moment, all the pressure and challenges became insignificant. The tacit understanding and trust between them flowed like a warm current in their hearts.
Subsequently, Lin Feng walked through the bustling field directly to the Head Coach Lippi. His steps were firm and powerful, each one seemingly announcing his return to the world.
When he stood in front of Lippi, he looked up at the legendary Italian coach. Lippi's hair was already gray, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle's, revealing an aura of authority without anger. A strong urge to prove himself surged in Lin Feng's heart; he knew that this return to China was not only to clear his name but also to work hard for Head Coach Lippi's trust and expectations.
Lippi looked at Lin Feng, a faint smile on his face. He extended a hand and gently patted Lin Feng's shoulder, as if giving him encouragement and confidence. "Lin Feng, I've watched your matches in Europe, and your performance was excellent." Lippi's voice was calm and powerful, every word revealing his recognition of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Lippi's praise. He bowed deeply and respectfully replied, "Thank you for your praise, Head Coach. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."
Lippi nodded, his eyes revealing his anticipation for Lin Feng. "For this match, I've placed you in the core position of the team's defense. I hope you can perform well and build a solid defensive line for the team." His words were full of trust and expectation.
Upon hearing this, a warm current surged in Lin Feng's heart. He knew this was Head Coach Lippi's trust and heavy responsibility placed upon him. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with firm resolve. "Head Coach, rest assured, I will do my best to win victory for the team!"
