Qi Ce vs Jun Bai

The player who was replaced just now was toyed with quite severely by Qi Ce. Obviously, he also realizes that Qi Ce and their level are not on the same playing field: "Brother Jun, we'll need to rely on you for this kid."

In the previous instance, Qi Ce heard what Jun Bian said. Qi Ce was happy in his heart. Those few moments just now don't represent much. Only when confronting real professional players can I see how good I am.

In front of Qi Ce, who is just over 1.7 meters tall, Jun Bian, who is 1.84 meters tall, is undoubtedly a big guy. As soon as he played, Qi Ce clearly felt that the atmosphere on the field was different.

This is a kind of pressure!

Jun Bian is very serious. The more he looks at Qi Ce from the sidelines, the more surprised he is. This boy, who is only half his age, plays quite well. In last year's United City team, this boy might also be able to compete for a position. You have to know that it's a Super League team!

So when he came up, he deliberately changed his position and played as a center-back.

That's right, he's here to mark Qi Ce, and he wants to defend Qi Ce himself.

Qi Ce felt an invisible pressure following him nearby. Looking up, Jun Bian had been waiting for him in a very delicate position. As long as he got the ball, the position Jun Bian was in would make him uncomfortable.

It's difficult to force a breakthrough. The first time facing an opponent, the first time touching the ball, Qi Ce tried to use his footwork to get past Jun Bian, but failed.

Jun Bian, like the defensive player just now, didn't make a move, but he wasn't really idle. He was waiting.

Qi Ce's technique is a bit lacking compared to professional players. When facing amateur defenders, even if he made a small mistake, the amateurs wouldn't dare to challenge aggressively. Qi Ce had enough time to break free.

But facing Jun Bian, this trick doesn't work. Qi Ce had just made a small mistake when touching the ball with his right foot. Jun Bian suddenly moved and stretched his foot to accurately block Qi Ce's position and beautifully intercepted the ball.

Qi Ce reacted quickly and immediately tried to counterattack. However, Jun Bian resisted using his body, stepping on the ball under his feet, skillfully bypassing Qi Ce's interception.

"Brother Jun! Nicely done!" The defensive player from earlier finally saw Qi Ce being outplayed and jumped up excitedly, clapping his hands.

Jun Bian made a long pass to the front, then turned around to look at Qi Ce. If the counterattack fails, Qi Ce immediately retreats, without any hesitation.

Professional players, indeed, are no joke.

Qi Ce silently admired in his heart. Don't be deceived by the simplicity of just now; it's actually much more difficult in practice.

Moreover, Qi Ce was already driven by a series of previous performances. He was confident that even against a professional player, he could handle it. However, he clearly overestimated.

As long as there's a slight mistake, professional players can keenly seize the opportunity! Because they face such errors all the time in training, and the ability to seize these errors is the difference between ordinary players and top players.

Jun Bian couldn't be considered among the top ones, but educating and challenging a young talent like Qi Ce was already significant for him.

Facing a player of this level, Qi Ce didn't consider playing tricks. He decided to change his playing style. While the ball flew out of the guardrail, Qi Ce signaled to Yang Jifei on the sideline to retrieve the ball.

"Don't fear mistakes, just pass it to me behind. Just give it directly, don't overthink it."

Yang Jifei nodded, breathing heavily. Qi Ce was the strongest foreign player he could find, having trained at the Bao Base. He had a lot of trust in Qi Ce's ability, especially after seeing Qi Ce's performance just now. He felt that he had improved a lot.

Compared to attacking Qi Ce's side with purpose, the opponent's ace was defending in the back. On his side, the pressure was not as intense. Gradually, he grasped the situation on the field.

And the passing targets were more clear. As long as Qi Ce ran within the routes they could keep up with, the ball was highly likely to be passed to Qi Ce — although not many times, after all, the skills of amateur players were probably just that.

In the back, Qi Ce was biding his time, waiting for a perfect opportunity. He quickly advanced, and a figure flashed in Yang Jifei's peripheral vision.

"Don't fear mistakes, just pass it to me behind. Just give it directly, don't overthink it."

Yang Jifei remembered Qi Ce's words and kicked the ball hard in front of the figure without thinking.

Nice shot! Qi Ce exclaimed in his heart and shook off his legs to try to bypass Jun Bian. Unexpectedly, Jun Bian was experienced. Amateur players like Yang Jifei were not subtle in passing the ball. Seeing him raise his hand, Jun Bian knew what he was going to do, and a quick step positioned himself in front of Qi Ce.

Just before the collision, Qi Ce changed direction, nearly crawling past Jun Bian's arm. Jun Bian realized it and applied force to block, Qi Ce staggered two steps, but soon caught up with the ball.

Qi Ce's speed was indeed very fast, especially his explosiveness. For an ordinary person, being bumped like this, regaining balance would surely let Jun Bian catch up in front.

But it was enough.

Before the interference, Qi Ce's shot was already completed!

A 12 in shooting data, facing an amateur goalkeeper on the field, even if the angle wasn't great, it was enough.

The goalkeeper symbolically bent down, and the ball raced past him, straight into the bottom of the net!

The defensive player who had been tormented by Qi Ce just now wasn't laughing anymore. He never expected that Jun Bian, a Chinese Super League star, would let this young boy score a goal right in front of him!

Not only was he surprised, but everyone on the field knew that Jun Bian was playing today. Many people came to watch him play, but they didn't expect to see this scene.

After the shot, Qi Ce fell to the ground. Jun Bian approached him and patted his shoulder. "Good shot."

This was a sincere compliment. He never expected to encounter an opponent like Qi Ce today.

Years later, Jun Bian, the former national team player and Shenhua star, mentioned this first encounter with Qi Ce in an interview.

"At that time, I really felt this kid was extraordinary, didn't play like a fifteen-year-old."

"After the match, I immediately called Coach Xu. I didn't expect this kid was from Chongming
