Chapter 1613: Chapter 850: Inspiring the Opponent’s Fighting Will_2

Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, and Xu Bin were discussing that goal while hoping their Feiyue Team could maintain its form and avoid a performance dip after conceding the goal.

Meanwhile, the Lu City Team clearly experienced a massive boost in confidence and morale. In such scenarios, even the slightest drop in Feiyue Team’s morale could lead to a shift in advantage, giving their opponents a chance to create more opportunities.

"I believe they’ll definitely adjust their state of mind."

Ding Yue said confidently.

Ding Yue had no doubt about this. He knew his Feiyue Team inside out.

Sure enough.

Despite conceding a goal, Feiyue Team’s offense and defense remained as tightly coordinated as before, leaving little room for their opponents to capitalize on any openings.

Opportunities as rare as the previous one were unlikely to happen again.

Not only that.

Feiyue Team launched a relentless offensive. Although such aggression left small gaps in their defense, their opponents couldn’t mount an effective counterattack. Each time the ball reached midfield, Feiyue Team’s control dominated the possession.

Feiyue Team initiated multiple consecutive attacks.

These attacks were meant to score, but Lu City Team’s defense was commendable. They concentrated all their energy on defending, so even Feiyue Team’s strongest attempts turned into probing strikes without much effect.

"Pass left, pass right, confuse the opponent!"

Feiyue Team’s coach observed the heated, deadlocked state of the game and had a tactical idea, shouting instructions to the winger.

The winger seemed to catch the coach’s direction. After receiving the ball, they executed a long pass directly to the winger on the opposite side.

On the other side, the ball landed at the striker’s feet. At this critical moment, the team’s synergy and understanding of the coach’s tactical plan came into play. The striker passed the ball with one touch, sending it back to the other side.

The ball was passed between both sides cautiously, minimizing any chance for opponents to steal possession.

In this manner, Feiyue Team persistently passed left to right, right to left, weaving a web to outwit Lu City Team.

Lu City Team’s players were stretched thin, putting all their energy into meticulous defense.

Before long, Lu City Team’s defensive focus was drawn almost entirely to the left and right wings.

At this crucial juncture, Feiyue Team suddenly changed their passing angle and targeted the middle, delivering the ball to the feet of their central offensive player.

This player had been waiting for this moment.

This was a tactic the coach had drilled countless times in training—while the forwards on the wings were busy passing, this central player acted as the hidden dagger, ready to strike alongside his teammates for an unexpected blow.

"Now’s the time!"

Once he received the ball, he took an immediate shot!

The opponent’s backline defense had no time to react—or rather, even if their attention briefly focused on this attacking player, they hadn’t committed their full defensive resources.

Thus, Feiyue Team seized the perfect angle, the perfect moment, and in this instant, the ball was fired toward the goal!

"It’s in!"

The commentator shouted excitedly.

This was yet another stunning goal, no less impressive than Lu City Team’s earlier strike. Both goals showcased exceptional judgment in finding shooting angles and opportunities, leaving the opposing goalkeeper utterly defeated. Though the shot seemed effortless, the teamwork and precision in finding that opening were truly outstanding.

"Nice!"

Upon seeing the goal, Ding Yue snapped his fingers and took a sip of refreshing beer, followed by a bite of duck frame. Life couldn’t get better.

"Five-one! We’ve got this in the bag, haven’t we?"

Zhang Yu asked excitedly.

"The win is definitely secure. Now it’s just a question of the final score."

Ding Yue calmly replied to Zhang Yu.

For someone like Zhang Yu and Lin Zhirou, their understanding of soccer was basic at best. They didn’t fully grasp the current dynamics, but anyone could tell from the score that unless something wildly unexpected happened, Feiyue Team had this match firmly in hand.

As the game headed into its final phase, both Feiyue Team and Lu City Team brought their best efforts to the field.

Admittedly.

The tenacity shown by Lu City Team was commendable. Even with the five-one score that almost guaranteed defeat, they continued fighting to the end, trying to claw back a few points in the remaining twenty or thirty minutes.

And so, the teams remained locked in an ongoing struggle that stretched into the last ten minutes of the match.

"Huff, huff."

Every player was gasping for breath, their shirts soaked in sweat, their stamina nearly depleted.

After spending the entire match under immense pressure, running up and down the field passing the ball and applying continuous pressure, the situation now hinged on each player’s ability to endure.

"Guys, let’s give some respect to the opposing team. They know they’re going to lose, but they’re still fighting to the bitter end!"

During Feiyue Team’s defensive pullback, one of the players near a cluster of teammates voiced his sentiment.

"Hold strong!"

Feiyue Team’s players decided against pressing for more aggressive attacks. With their current physical state, pushing forward would not only risk failing to score but also leave gaps that Lu City Team might exploit.

Instead, Feiyue Team focused all their energy on defense, denying Lu City Team any chances to score. At this point, the contest wasn’t about winning or losing—it was about seeing who could hold out longer before the final whistle.

On one side, Lu City Team fought desperately to score a consolation goal and settle the score at five-two.

On the other side, Feiyue Team refused to let them secure that goal, determined to finish the match with a five-one victory.

The final ten minutes became a fierce and ultimate showdown between the two teams!

It was during this moment that Lu City Team truly revealed their strength as a top-tier team in the Xia Super League.

"Damn! Even if we lose, it’s been ages since we’ve had such an exhilarating match!"

A star player on Lu City Team thought to himself with satisfaction.

In past matches against other Xia Super League teams, it was rare for their fighting spirit to be stoked like this. Those games often felt too formulaic.

But today was different.

That thrilling sensation of pushing themselves to their limits—it was so addictive.

This felt like rediscovering why they’d started playing soccer in the first place—the unbridled joy and purity of the sport.

The outcome of victory or defeat seemed less significant now.

Sure, Feiyue Team was leading five-one, and Lu City Team would undoubtedly lose, but in these last ten minutes, all they wanted was to play wholeheartedly, showcasing their style, their spirit!

"Wow, did Lu City Team just get a sudden burst of energy?"

Huang Youjie exclaimed in surprise as he watched the situation on the field.

In these final ten minutes, Lu City Team’s coordination visibly improved. Their attack strength intensified, and several players elevated their performance significantly, displaying an impressive final surge.

"Maybe they’ve rediscovered the true meaning of playing soccer during these final minutes. Also, it’s our Feiyue Team that enabled them to find this feeling."

Ding Yue analyzed with a smile.

Not only had Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, and Ding Yue noticed.

Many soccer fans in the audience also picked up on Lu City Team’s transformation.

"In these last ten minutes, Lu City Team seems to have stepped up their game."

"This is how soccer should be played!"

"They’ve got real spirit."

"This final struggle—pretty exciting, actually."

"What was Lu City Team even doing before? They looked lifeless like a limp chicken."

"These last ten minutes have earned my respect for Lu City Team."

"Notice how Lu City Team never showed this kind of energy in the past, even in their victories—it always felt half-hearted. But against Feiyue Team, they’ve unlocked their potential."

"What does this prove? It proves Feiyue Team’s overwhelming strength inspires other teams to pour everything into the match!"

Amid these online discussions, the referee’s whistle finally blew.

"Alright, viewers, the match is over. Feiyue Team held strong in the final stages and secured the game with a five-one victory. Let’s congratulate Feiyue Team!"
