The sunlight was dazzling. This was what Zhang Lintao felt as he could not clearly see Yang Pan's face from the time the No. 7 player bent down to put the ball on the penalty mark, straightened himself and stepped back. Throughout this process, Zhang Lintao could not see his opponent's face—the face that almost gave him a year of nightmares.
Yang Pan placed the ball on the white dot carefully. He then got up and took four steps back, counting silently in his heart. After his fourth step, he stood still. He lowered his head and saw the red captain armband on his left arm. He did not need to turn around to know the situation behind him. He also did not need to look up to know what was going on in the stands of the stadium.
