The Golden Flowers players were now clearly exhilarated.

The captain, Wang Fei, yelled, “Look alive! We have to show Master Lin our energy!”

“Okay!” His team members were excited as well. Not only were there many fans supporting them, even their idol, Master Lin, was watching.

If they lose, they wouldn’t be able to face everyone.

Also, they knew that their seniors’ loss in 2003 had caused a huge impact and made the whole stadium go mad.

That’s why, this time, they had to win no matter what to wash away their shame.

Wu You Lan was holding a flag in her hand, clearly excited. “Come on.”

Meanwhile, Lin Fan was sitting there and observing the situation. At times, this atmosphere made him feel like his blood was boiling.

Wu Ze now seemed a little nervous as well. After all, even if the players had done ample preparations, he would never be able to relax until the last moment.

Huang Jun had been in the stands the whole time, holding his phone and broadcasting. But every once in a while, he would look at the coaches’ seats at the far end. Because it was too far, he couldn’t see clearly if it was Master Lin.

At this moment, he realized that a fatty next to him was holding a pair of binoculars. He patted the fatty on the shoulder. “Bro, could you lend me your binoculars to look at something? Just five seconds will do.”

“Alright. No problem, brother.” The fatty handed his binoculars over.

Huang Jun took it and looked at the coaches’ seats once again. When he saw the figure sitting there he immediately returned it to the fatty, then shouted at the broadcast, “I’ve seen it now. That person on the coach’s seat is really Master Lin!”

“What? It really is Master Lin? D*mn, even Master Lin is here to watch. And he’s even sitting at the coach’s seat. This is f*cking awesome.”

“D*mn. But now is the time to watch the match. After the match ends, you have to go and look for Master Lin, Host.”

“Yeah. Even though Master Lin is here, we can’t focus our attention on him right now. The match is more important now.*

Huang Jun suppressed the excitement in his heart. He knew what he had to do and that was to broadcast the current scene for his Internet buddies.

At that moment, a change happened on site.

“D*mn! Yokohama F. Marino’s offense is too strong. Sh*t, they’re shooting! We have to defend!”

At this moment, the Golden Flower’s goalkeeper’s concentration suddenly spiked. He saw the ball flying towards him and he leaped to the right ferociously.

*Bam!*

His shoulder slammed against the post and the ball was swatted away. But it wasn’t over yet. The Yokohama F. Marinos gained possession of the ball once again and shot the ball at the goal.

The goalkeeper who had collided against the goalpost leaped over. Enduring the pain, he caught the ball in his embrace.

The whistle blew.

Wu Ze shot up from his seat. His expression was rather anxious. He hadn’t expected something like this to happen just over ten minutes into the match.

Wu You Lan said, “Brother Lin, it’s bad. The goalkeeper is injured.”

Lin Fan was taken aback. He hadn’t expected this either. It had happened way too quickly.

“Mmm. That angle of the ball just now was too tricky.” In Wu You Lan’s view, this start wasn’t too good.

Huang Jun held his phone as he said, “D*mn. Brothers, things aren’t looking good. This goalkeeper has been injured just over ten minutes into the game. This is bad.”

“F*ck. That motherf*cker.”

“They have to stay strong. They absolutely cannot lose.”

“That save was just beautiful. But with this injury, they’re done for.”

The spectators’ stand had suddenly become silent as well. Then, someone started leading a cheer and the atmosphere started heating up again.

When the Yokohama F. Marinos saw this, they laughed.

This time, they had come prepares. They were here to crush the Golden Flowers team once again.

At the coaches’ stand.

Wu Ze’s expression was unpleasant. “What do we do now?”

Lin Fan asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Coach Wu?”

Wu Ze said, “Master Lin, you don’t know this but we actually had a reserve player. However, he caught a flu yesterday and had a 40-degree fever. Now, this player is injured as well. Where are we going to find a substitute?”

Initially, Wu Ze had thought they would be able to pull through but he hadn’t expected them to have such bad luck.

Lin Fan looked at Wu Ze and said unsurely. “Why don’t I stand in for him for now?”

“Huh?” Wu Ze was startled. He looked at Master Lin incredulously. “Master Lin, can you do it?”

Lin Fan nodded. “I should be fine. If it’s just stopping the ball from entering the goalpost, it won’t be hard at all. My reflexes are quite fast.”

Wu Ze had wanted to reply ‘Master Lin, how could it be as easy as you think? A good goalkeeper has to have many qualities.’

But in this situation, things were very urgent. He had just received notice that the goalkeeper had fractured his shoulder. That really left him lost for words.

“Alright, alright. Master Lin, hurry up and come with me to change up.” Desperate times call for desperate measures. All he could do was let Master Lin have a try.

Entering the changing room, Lin Fan looked at the number 1 jersey in his hands and chuckled. He hadn’t expected a football-idiot like himself who couldn’t even be considered an amateur to go and be the goalkeeper.

But thinking about it, it felt pretty good. As long as he didn’t let the ball in, it would be fine. To him, this was very simple.

The match had paused for now.

The stadium was a little quiet. Some fans were panicking.

What are we going to do now? Zhang Qun has been injured. Gao Xiong is having a fever. It looks like we don’t have any more goalkeepers left, do we?”

“Yeah. This time, we’re screwed.”

“D*mn, don’t say that. If we really lose, I won’t be able to take it.”

“Hey, someone has stepped on the field.”

“Who? Who is this number 1? Where did Wu Ze find this substitute? Weren’t there no goalkeepers left?”

“Sigh, I have nothing to say. I feel like nothing has gone their way this year. The past few times, they’ve been facing problems too and now, both the goalkeepers are out. They don’t even have a substitute anymore.”

“Is this guy alright? He’s so skinny. Will he be able to catch the ball if it comes flying at him?”

“Sigh. It’s over. I don’t even dare to watch anymore.”

“That’s nothing. I left my work to come and watch this match. If they lose, I’ll jump into Huangpu River tonight.”

Wu You Lan looked at Brother Lin in astonishment. “Brother Lin, will you really be okay?”

Lin Fan nodded. “It should be fine. Let’s have a go.”

The players of Golden Flowers didn’t know what to do anymore but suddenly, they realized that someone had stepped on the field wearing the number 1 jersey. But when they saw him, they were completely dumbfounded.

“Master Lin, why are you here?” Captain Wang Fei gasped in shock.

Lin Fan smiled. “You don’t have anyone else, right? I’m here to help you.”

Wang Fei was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright. Master Lin, don’t worry. We’ll work hard later on and we definitely won’t let the opposition kick the ball to our side.”

Lin Fan chuckled. “No problem. The match is starting. Go on. Guarding this post shouldn’t be a problem.”

Wang Fei didn’t say more. The pressure in his heart grew once again. They absolutely couldn’t let the opposition shoot again. Otherwise, he was afraid it would be difficult for Master Lin to block it.
