A Valiant Life

“Beautiful. They’ve scored. It was simply too beautiful.”

“This goalkeeper is too incredible. If Golden Flowers had him in the past, they wouldn’t have lost at all. They would’ve overturned the entire football world long ago.”

“That’s right. In fact, the worst that could happen is a draw. That would be nothing much at all.”

“This is simply too scary. My decision to watch this match has been so worth it.”

“Haha. Those idiots. I told them to come and watch the match but they didn’t want to. Now, they’ve missed this amazing moment. I think they will regret it for life.”

The audience was in an uproar. They had finally scored. However, the audience knew that the credit for this goal belonged to the goalkeeper.

If it hadn’t been for that goalkeeper, scoring would have only been a dream.

A single man had overcome everyone else. He was simply too powerful.

At this moment, Wu Ze was so excited that he was trembling. His blood was boiling.

This match was definitely explosive. Master Lin was really too powerful.

In the audience stands, Huang Jun’s hand which was holding his phone had started trembling. He suddenly realized that this match was f*cking unreal. If he wasn’t seeing it for himself, he wouldn’t have dared to believe it at all.

Lin Fan, on the other hand, was a little bored. When the blocked several shots a while ago, it had felt pretty good. But after a few times, he had started to lose interest.

Instead, he realized that he wasn’t suitable for football because he would ruin this excellent sport.

The fun part of any kind of competition is that there is a chance of winning and losing. That makes for an intense competition.

If there is no suspense involved, then it would really be too boring.

The Yokohama F. Marino coach saw the situation and was completely dumbfounded. He immediately called for a timeout to re-strategize.

But then, after his players attacked a few more times and completely failed, the coach was dazed. He just sat down without saying a single word as if he had given up all hope.

At this moment, the Yokohama F. Marinos players had understood that, as long as the Golden Flowers had their Godly goalkeeper on the field, they wouldn’t be able to score no matter what they tried.

Lin Fan had caught the ball countless times. Whenever the opposition tried to score, he would toss the ball back to them to give them a few more tries.

But unfortunately, not a single one succeeded.

The match ended. 5-0.

The Yokohama F. Marinos players couldn’t accept such a result. This time, they had come here with the plan of completely crushing the Golden Flowers.

But now, they had been beaten to such a state.

At the moment that the match ended, the spectators celebrated once more.

Wang Fei and his teammates charged over and raised Lin Fan up into the air. “Master Lin, you’re way too powerful!”

“I have never seen such a valiant goalkeeper!”

They all knew that, if it hadn’t been for Master Lin, their chances of winning this match would’ve been very low.

But after Master Lin joined, this win simply came too easily.

In the end, they didn’t even have to defend. They just stood on the opposition’s side of the field. Every time, Master Lin wouldn’t disappoint. He would catch the ball and throw it over to them.

Lin Fan laughed. “Alright, put me down. I was just defending the goal post. The scoring was still done by you guys.”

Wang Fei said, “Master Lin, you’re way too humble. If it wasn’t for you, it would’ve been really difficult for us to score.”

At the coaches’ stands.

Wu Ze rushed forward to Lin Fan with a look of gratitude on his face. “Master Lin, I’m really so grateful for you. But where did you learn to be a goalkeeper? You’re way too good!”

Lin Fan smiled helplessly. Why would I even have to learn? All I did was rely on my reflexes.

“Master Lin, why don’t you stop selling scallion pancakes and become our goalkeeper instead. I believe that, with you, we won’t lose any matches at all,” said Wu Ze enthusiastically.

Lin Fan replied, “Coach Wu, I think it’s better not to do that. I don’t have any wishes to become a football star.”

Wu You Lan came to Lin Fan side. Her heart was overflowing with pride. She had wanted to bring Brother Lin to watch the match but she hadn’t expected Brother Lin to go on the field himself.

Moreover, he had given her an unmatches and unsurpassable display of goalkeeping.

“Alright, let’s go back. I’ve had my fun.” He had had his fun and it was time to go back.

Wu Ze and the rest couldn’t bear to see him leave. They still wanted to have a good chat with him. The players, in particular, really wanted him to stay. After all, that match that they had just had was probably the most comfortable and easy match that they had ever played in their lives.

Because they hadn’t had to think about defending at all and they had been able to focus entirely on attacking.

This kind of feeling was probably something that they would only be able to experience once.

After Master Lin and Wu You Lan left, Wang Fei sighed. “If only Master Lin would really join our team.”

Wu Ze hadn’t really thought through this before because he had been too excited. Later on, he had thought about it more and understood. Then, he patted Wang Fei on the back.

“Alright, don’t think about it. Actually, it’s a good thing for our industry that Master Lin won’t join us. You all saw what happened just now. With Master Lin’s ability, I’m afraid even the best player in the world wouldn’t be able to score a single goal.”

Wang Fei nodded. “Mmm. That’s no exaggeration. Against his ability, even the world’s best would be powerless. I’m afraid no one in the world would be able to score a goal if Master Lin is the goalkeeper.”

At that moment, the reporters flocked over.

Right now, the reporters wanted to interview Master Lin.

“Coach Wu, where’s Master Lin?”

Wu Ze replied, “He has left already. Master Lin has left a long time ago.”

One of the reporters said helplessly, “Dang it. We’re too late. I really wanted to interview Master Lin. I didn’t think he would leave so soon.”

“Coach Wu, what do you think about Master Lin playing as the goalkeeper just now? What do you think of Master Lin’s abilities?” asked the reporters.

Wu Ze answered with no hesitation, “He’s strong. He’s very strong.”

“How does he compare to a top world-class goalkeeper?” asked one of the reporters.

If they had been talking about someone else, Wu Ze might have said that he didn’t know or that they couldn’t be compared. But now, he only wanted to answer truthfully.

“Master Lin is at the world’s top. He’s the number one in the world. According to my knowledge of the current goalkeepers, not a single one can match up to Master Lin,” said Wu Ze.

Then, the surrounding players all gave their coach strange looks with their eyes as if to say ‘Be low-key. You have to be low-key!’

Wu Ze naturally knew what was going on but he still answered truthfully because Master Lin’s abilities were really too great.

Judging by what they had seen today, perhaps even calling him the God of Goalkeeping wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

The reporters recorded this whole scene. But in their hearts, they also acknowledged that Coach Wu had not been talking big, nor had he been exaggerating.

They were all sports reporters and they had seen many competitions before.

However, this was the first time in their lives that they had seen a scene like the one today.

Even in the next few decades, it would be unlikely that they would be able to forget this day.
