Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The last game of the Spanish Second Division

On the Villarreal B Team training ground, Lin Feng, as always, was engrossed in intense and orderly training.

His movements were agile, his gaze firm, and every action revealed his love for football and his desire for victory.

After training, Lin Feng was about to leave the field when he was suddenly called out by his agent, Snyder.

Snyder ran to Lin Feng, his face excited, his eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Lin Feng, I have great news for you!"

Lin Feng looked at Snyder with some confusion, unsure what he was getting at.

Snyder took a deep breath, then slowly said: "The first team is evaluating your performance with the B Team, and they are very satisfied with your performance.

They are preparing to promote you to the first team!"

Hearing this news, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment.

He could hardly believe his ears; this had always been his dream, but he had never dared to hope it would come true so quickly.

His heart was filled with excitement and joy, but also some nervousness and apprehension.

"Lin Feng, you need to be prepared," Snyder said to Lin Feng, his tone serious, "In the next Segunda División match, the club's technical analysis team and scouting team will observe you comprehensively.

More importantly, the first team's Head Coach, Escribá, will also be there in person to watch, as will our director, Mr. Franco."

Hearing this news, Lin Feng's heart rate involuntarily sped up.

He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a major test.

He had to be in his best form, showcasing his strength and potential to earn the first team's favor and trust.

"I understand, Snyder," Lin Feng took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, "I will give it my all and won't let anyone down."

Snyder looked at Lin Feng's determined eyes, knowing he was ready.

He nodded and patted Lin Feng's shoulder: "I believe in you, Lin Feng.

You've always worked hard and are very talented.

As long as you perform normally and show your strengths, I believe you will leave a deep impression on everyone."

As the Segunda División schedule progressed, a highly anticipated match was about to begin.

Lin Feng's Villarreal B Team was set to face the strong Girona team.

This match not only concerned the two teams' standings in the League but was also an important test of Lin Feng's individual ability.

Girona, as a strong contender in the Segunda División, has been seeking breakthroughs in recent years.

Not long ago, they were acquired by the City Group, a financially strong conglomerate that injected new vitality into the team.

In the transfer market, Girona signed several strong players, significantly enhancing their overall strength.

Their goal was very clear: to be promoted to La Liga this season.

In the Villarreal B Team office, Head Coach Rivaldo was intently studying the upcoming opponent—Girona.

He knew clearly that this match was a test for the team, and for Lin Feng, it was an excellent opportunity to showcase his abilities to the first team.

Through detailed video analysis and data statistics, Rivaldo discovered that Girona was very adept at defensive counter-attacks, and their forward Longo was a highly threatening player.

Longo was not only technically skilled but also liked to roam near the defensive line, using his dribbling skills to find breakthrough opportunities.

To counter Longo's characteristics, Rivaldo decided to assign Lin Feng the crucial task of defending him.

He was well aware of Lin Feng's advantages in physical confrontation and believed he could use his strength and defensive skills to limit Longo's performance.

Therefore, in the final tactical meeting before the match, Rivaldo specifically emphasized Lin Feng's defensive assignment: "Lin Feng, your task is to mark Longo.

I know he's tough to deal with, but your physical confrontation is your advantage.

You need to fully utilize this to make him feel your presence.

Don't let him easily receive the ball and turn; make trouble for him."

Lin Feng listened carefully to Rivaldo's tactical arrangements, knowing this was a huge test for him.

But he also knew his abilities and strengths well, and he believed he could complete the task.

He nodded, firmly stating: "Coach, I understand.

I will give it my all."

On the day of the match, the sunlight fell like golden ribbons on the green field, and the cheers of the fans converged into a symphony of victory.

In the exclusive viewing area on one side of the stadium, the club's technical analysis team was scrutinizing every player with professional eyes, while first-team Head Coach Escribá and director Franco sat among them, their gazes like searchlights, closely following Lin Feng's figure.

When Lin Feng confronted Girona's forward Longo, every tackle between them tugged at the heartstrings of the spectators.

Lin Feng, with his excellent anticipation and physical confrontation ability, successfully confined Longo to a small space.

A flicker of admiration flashed in Escribá's eyes, and he turned to Franco, saying: "Did you notice, Franco?

Lin Feng's defense is like an unbreakable barrier; he always appears in the right place at the crucial moment.

His anticipation and physical confrontation are both impressive."

Franco nodded slightly, his deep eyes revealing his approval of Lin Feng: "Exactly, Escribá.

Lin Feng is not only technically proficient, but more importantly, he possesses an innate footballing instinct.

Look at his calmness and decisiveness in defense—these are absolutely essential qualities for an excellent defender."

As the match progressed, Lin Feng's performance became even more striking.

He not only thwarted several of the opponent's attacks but also contributed crucial defense for the team at critical moments.

Each successful defense brought an even more satisfied smile to Escribá's and Franco's faces.

When the final whistle blew, the Villarreal B Team actually won this crucial match!

Thanks to forward Lopez's seemingly unintentional long-range shot from the edge of the box, the ball broke through Girona's goalkeeper's grasp.

Escribá and Franco stood up, their gazes once again fixed on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was embracing his teammates in celebration, his face beaming with the joy and pride of a victor.

With the referee's final whistle, Villarreal B Team won the match 1-0.

Escribá strode forward and walked up to Lin Feng.

He extended his large hand and powerfully patted Lin Feng's shoulder: "Young man, you brought us a wonderful match.

Your defensive ability and awareness have shown us your immense potential.

I believe that in the near future, you will become an indispensable member of our first team."

Franco also stepped forward, his gaze filled with anticipation for Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, your performance was outstanding.

You have proven with your strength that you qualify to join the first team.

We look forward to seeing you create more glory for our club in the days to come."
