That header, when I think back on it now, my heart is still pounding.
Xiang Yuwang leapt high, like an eagle, smashing the ball into the goal!
In that moment, I felt as if I had returned to my university days, standing amidst a crowded stadium, roaring and cheering with my brothers for every spectacular goal.
The difference this time was that it was for our U21 national football team!
A clean 1-0 victory, defeating Iran U20 again within three days, the taste of this victory is truly sweet!
To be honest, the first half made me a bit anxious.
Both sides played cautiously, like two chess players carefully testing each other.
I was busy scrolling through sports news on my phone while occasionally looking up at the live broadcast on TV, afraid of missing any exciting moments.
My wife was busy in the kitchen, the aroma wafting over, making my stomach growl.
Her braised pork, the flavor, is simply divine!
Rich but not greasy, melting in your mouth, it always makes me eat two more bowls of rice.
But right now, how could I have the mind to eat?
All my thoughts were focused on the game.
The 0-0 score held until the second half.
I silently chanted in my heart: Score! Score!
Finally, in the 62nd minute, the goal came!
Xiang Yuwang's header, like a cannonball, headed straight for the goal!
At that moment, I felt as if time had stopped, and all eyes were focused on the flying football.
Goal!
I couldn't help but shout loudly, startling my wife.
This goal, the Iranian team was dissatisfied, thinking it hadn't gone in, and argued with the referee for a long time.
Fortunately, we had aerial footage from drones, high-definition replays, irrefutable evidence!
If this were in the past, who knows if it would have been resolved.
Scientific and technological progress is truly wonderful, making matches fairer and more transparent.
Just like online shopping nowadays, where you can see buyer shows, avoiding many embarrassing situations between seller shows and buyer shows.
This victory cannot overlook the contributions of Coach Antonio.
He brought not only advanced tactical concepts but also a whole new philosophy of football.
He has revitalized this young team, making them play with greater unity and aggressiveness.
Under his guidance, the players' technical skills and tactical qualities have significantly improved.
This match also gave me hope for Chinese football.
These young players, full of vitality and passion, dare to fight and challenge; they represent the future of Chinese football.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but look forward to the U23 Asian Cup and Asian Games in 2026.
Of course, we must also soberly recognize that the road ahead is still long, and challenges still exist.
The victory of the U21 national football team is just the beginning; we still need to continue working hard and continuously improve our strength.
Future matches will undoubtedly be even more intense and brutal.
But we have reason to believe that as long as we persist, the future of Chinese football will surely be brighter!
This victory not only inspired the players but also inspired us fans.
It showed us hope and a glimpse of the future.
