Chapter 1072: In utter despair

On the way back.

As Lin Fan drove, Wu You Lan was by his side with a face full of excitement. “Brother Lin, you’re way too awesome!”

“I’m just alright,” said Lin Fan humbly, “Actually, I feel like I was bullying them. Don’t you think so?”

Wu You Lan nodded as she seemed to agree. “I feel that way too. Did you see how dispirited the Yokohama F. Marinos players were in the end? Even when they gained possession, the Golden Flowers players would just rest in the original positions, waiting for you the throw the ball over. When I saw that, I nearly died of laughter.”

Lin Fan chuckled. He felt that that had been a little unfair. The Yokohama F. Marinos players had been running up and down the field and they had been exhausted. Meanwhile, the Golden Flowers players had just been resting on the opposition’s side of the field just waiting for the ball to come to them.

In terms of stamina, the Yokohama F. Marinos had already been completely drained. How could they even compete in the end?

Wu You Lan said, “Brother Lin, when tomorrow comes, this will definitely blow up. This wasn’t even broadcasted live. If it was, things would have already gone out of control.”

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly. “Sigh. I just wanted to live my life in a low-key fashion, opening a shop and making scallion pancakes. Now that things have become like this, it really makes me helpless. Oh well. I’ll just treat it as giving everyone something to be happy about.”

Wu You Lan slanted her head and looked at Lin Fan with a bit of a confused look on her face. She felt that it was really strange for Lin Fan to be able to say such things.

Low-key?

If Brother Lin is considered low-key, no one else be considered high-key.

Nighttime!

On the Golden Flowers forums, people were having a commotion about Lin FAn.

‘A f*cking awesome goalkeeper. If you didn’t see it for yourself, you would never believe it.’

This post was very popular. It even contained videos and photos. However, because these had been taken from too far of a distance, they weren’t clear at all. Still, one could roughly see what was going on.

“D*mn. This is really too f*cking awesome.”

“What movie is this from? Someone please tell me. I want to watch this movie. The special effects look awesome.”

“Are you stupid? This isn’t a movie. This is from the match between Golden Flowers and Yokohama F. Marinos that happened today.”

“F*ck, don’t lie to me. I’m not very well-educated and I might just believe you.”

“It’s true. I was there today and I was completely astounded. If I didn’t pinch myself, I would’ve thought that I was dreaming.”

“Does anyone know who this goalkeeper is? He’s too powerful, isn’t he?”

“Yeah! If Golden Flowers has such a strong goalkeeper, why didn’t they let him play from the start? If they let him play, no one would have been able to score against them.”

“Please allow me to describe this in one word. Terrorizing.”

“Let’s go. We’ll post on the Golden Flowers’ official Weibo. If they don’t let this goalkeeper play in the future, we won’t watch anymore.”

“Right, let’s go.”

At that moment, a wave of football fans invaded Golden Flowers’ Weibo and requested them to publicly announce who this goalkeeper was, as well as to let this goalkeeper play every match from now on.

At the same time, another forum thread also drew many people’s attention.

‘I heard that this goalkeeper is Master Lin. I don’t know if it’s true either. I heard it from other people.’

“F*ck, are you crazy? That’s just blind talk. If it’s really Master Lin, I’ll eat my own sh*t”

“Yeah, don’t talk rubbish. That’s not possible.”

“I admit that Master Lin is amazing too but when it comes to goalkeeping, don’t joke around. That’s not possible.”

“Sigh, people nowadays can post anything. Admin, please hurry up and delete this thread.”

“Yeah, stop playing around.

To the Golden Flowers fans, this was a joyous day because they had won. And that wasn’t even the important part. The important part was that they had won way too dominantly. They had plowed their way through without giving the opposition a chance at all.

That goalkeeper was simply like a god. As long as he stood at the goal post, no matter who shot the ball, he would be able to block it.

Also, Yokohama F. Marinos player, Tanaka Hiroshi, had shot the ball so many times but not a single ball had entered the goal. The goalkeeper had even tossed the ball back to him to let him shoot a few more times but it had all been useless.

To everyone, it had been an unbearable blow.

But no matter what other people said, this scene had really made the fans’ blood boil. They didn’t even know what to say anymore.

Wu Ze was now attending the victory feast. When he called Master Lin, Master Lin was already resting so he didn’t join.

This made Wu Ze feel helpless. He had wanted to get Master Lin to come and play around with the team. But thinking about how busy Master Lin was, he decided to forget about it.

Still, he was very curious as to what was up with Master Lin. How had he gotten so good at goalkeeping? He was simply way too good…

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over. “Wu Ze, you’re saying that it was really Master Lin?”

Wu Ze looked at this man. This man was the team’s big boss. Then, Wu Ze nodded. Mmm, it’s true. The goalkeeper today was Master Lin. If we could invite Master Lin to join our team, getting into the world cup would not be a problem.”

“Just relying on him?” This middle-aged man seemed not to believe him.

Wu Ze said, “If Master Lin really joins, it would be very likely. Because Master Lin’s goalkeeping is really too good. I’m afraid even the top players in the world wouldn’t be able to score against him.”

He was serious. If Lin Fan had only blocked one or two shots, he wouldn’t have dared to say this. But the opponents had shot so many balls in the match. Even a top goalkeeper wouldn’t have been able to block so many shots.

But Master Lin had done it. Moreover, he had done it with great ease as if he hadn’t even had to use any strength.

If Master Lin were to exhibit his true strength, how terrifying would that be? It was unimaginable.

“Do you think we have a chance of getting Master Lin to join us?” The middle-aged man started to form ideas.

“It’s not possible. If it was someone else, we could definitely invite him. But this is Master Lin. It’s definitely not possible,” said Wu Ze regretfully. At the same time, he felt helpless. Master Lin was such a good goalkeeper but he wouldn’t join them. If he did, perhaps the world cup rankings would be shifted.

Number One in the World.

What a domineering title.

The Yokohama F. Marinos players were all lying down in the hotel. None of them could muster any energy.

To them, it was as if they had seen a ghost today.

Tanaka Hiroshi, in particular, had taken a huge blow to his heart. That goalkeeper was like a darkness that had seeped into his heart.

He had forgotten how many times he had kicked the ball at the goal today. Even though he had used all his strength, it had been completely useless.

This left him in utter despair.
