Chapter 38: Noah's Strength
After Sintany's injury, no one dared to argue with Noah, and the locker room fully ushered in the "Noah era".
"From today onwards, you will wash my clothes. ”
"From today onwards, I will use the bathhouse on the left, and you will use the one on the right. ”
"From today onwards, fetch me food. ”
Noah was like an emperor, promulgating laws and regulations.
Truth be told, no one can beat him.
Due to his bad history, no one wants to go against Noah. Therefore, everyone has a tacit understanding, and the division of labor and cooperation are all followed.
Fifteen-year-old Wu Qi is naturally also in this "reluctant" column.
Wu Qi walked into Noah's dormitory and dried his jersey and socks.
I saw Noah leisurely smoking a cigarette and holding a magazine in his hand.
"Little one, help me buy a bottle of soda. Noah pointed at Wu Qi.
Wu Qi didn't want to get involved in this dispute. As Songsang said, maybe he will return to the first team after a while, just bear with it.
"Well, okay. Wu Qi agreed, thinking at the same time.
It's just that Wu Qi is very uncomfortable.
The dressing room, which used to get along well, is now full of gloom.
Wu Qibai was puzzled, didn't these Marios know this?
In just a few weeks, the atmosphere in the team has become like this.
The friends who were originally united inserted this halfway through the bar.
Days went by as they went, and this week's match against Pampreta came as scheduled.
Due to Sintani's unexpected injury, in order not to reduce the combat effectiveness of the frontcourt, Mario had to temporarily replace Rodriguez to play as a striker.
Wu Qi is still in the front waist position.
Noah, on the other hand, was arranged to play as the main central defender. Songsang turned to a marking central defender and did dirty work.
"Boys, cheer up. If you don't defend hard, I'll beat you!" flashed his hammer-like fist, and he was the temporary captain of the game.
Without the feeling of working together in the past, everyone seemed to be abducted to the corner of the mountainous area, forced to live a life of digging coal mines.
It's game on!
Wu Qi quickly adjusted his emotions and quickly found the rhythm of the game.
Pompretta's youth team has been tepid this season, winning and losing along the way. Also due to the financial problems of recent years, Pompreta has not invested much in the youth army this year. Therefore, in the youth league, they also seem to have no desire.
However, the team of Pampreta cannot be ignored. Although the record is average, it is a bitter master of hard fighting. Not long ago, even Santos and Palmeiras were a strong team.
Soon after the opening, Pampreta had a good chance.
I saw the midfielder of the Pang team advancing all the way to the front of the Sao Paulo penalty area. The opponent's wingers and forwards are very skillful in cooperating, and although Songsang's defense is very good, he is still successfully broken through by the opponent.
Just as the other party was thinking about what to do next, Noah appeared.
Wu Qi was in the front court and saw Noah's defensive strategy clearly.
He first commanded the defensive line to shrink, and when the midfield was breached, he let the marking central defender Songsang go first. At the same time, signal everyone to lean forward in formation to further compress the opponent's offensive space. Noah's own defensive posture is facing the front court, slightly sideways.
It not only solidifies the defensive line, but also creates an offside trap to deter the opponent. At the same time, he pays great attention to the gaps around him and guards against the opponent's back-to-back ball at any time.
Noah's defense is a top-notch performance.
There is no handsome interception, no desperate encirclement. Noah took the ball off as it should have been on a planned route, and he took it in stride.
"Little !!" Noah kicked the ball forward to the court.
Noah's foot strength is so great, everyone present is amazed!
Wu Qi stopped the ball steadily in the front court.
Because the Pang team invested a lot of troops on the offensive end, a two-on-three situation was formed in the backcourt in an instant.
This was a rare opportunity, Wu Qi dribbled the ball and quickly pushed through the half.
Although the opposing defenders hurriedly returned to defense, the formation was maintained quite well, and Wu Qi had no chance to break through.
Rodriguez ran too fast and was not in a good position, so Wu Qi never had a chance to pass the ball out.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Qi took the ball to the side, and most of the opponent's defenders followed, and Wu Qi only had two choices at this time. The first is to break through by yourself and resign yourself to fate, and the second is to cross. But there is no point in the middle......
"Hey!!" Wu Qi was thinking about it, and Noah already felt the forbidden area!
From the time Wu Qi received the ball and advanced, it was probably more than ten seconds. After Noah passed the ball, he sprinted all the way to the opponent's penalty area!
His own attacking players are not yet in place, but the central defenders have abandoned their backfield and inserted it!
Wu Qi rubbed the ball up, and the ball flew straight into the small penalty area.
With a height of 1.9 meters and a strong physique, Noah leaps high above everyone's heads!
A cannonball-like headbutt goes straight to the corner!
1 to 0!
It's not uncommon for defenders to assist, but it's rare to see things like Noah. Moreover, this method is not advisable, and it will create a huge gap in the backfield of the own side.
However, the effect of occasional intentions is still good.
After the goal, Noah clenched his fists and shouted to the sky!
Wu Qi symbolically celebrates with his teammates and Noah. In a "fake" cheer, Wu Qi jumped up and slapped the back of Noah's head.
Noah didn't react, he was still reeling in his goal.
"I think I'm a tiger's butt!It seems that it's okay to touch it twice and pat it twice!" Wu Qi secretly thought.
The game continues.
The Pang team stepped up their attack, and they were not convinced by the goal they had just conceded.
From time to time, Noah's roar could be heard from the back of São Paulo.
"Look at my position, you're running behind me!"
"Go ahead, shrink up!MD I don't know what you're usually practicing!?"
Noah is just "educating" everyone in the backfield.
I have to say that although he hates Noah very much, Wu Qi has admiration for Noah's command in the backfield at this time.
Although Songsang is also very good, he can only do things within his own ability, and his scheduling and coordination ability for the back line is far inferior to Noah;
Paulace of Paraná seems to be much better than Songsang in all indicators. But Wu Qi has fought against him and knows that he mainly relies on his physical fitness, and belongs to the type of squandering his talent;
Santos' Pereira is also very strong in terms of overall strength and solid defense. However, in the face of Kondo's attack, he was also helpless.
Wu Qi's mind flashed through these defenders he had seen or fought against, and he came to a conclusion.
Noah is the strongest!
This is probably because of the gap between age and actual experience, after all, Noah has been playing in the senior team for so many years.
However, Noah has been playing for senior teams since he was sixteen. It shows that his talent is innate, and he has been observed by his coach since he was a child.
Moreover, no one can guarantee that when he is twenty years old, he will have a tall figure like Noah.
The result of the game, no surprises.
São Paulo beat Pompreetta 2-0.
Wu Qi had two assists and created a number of threats. As usual, Wu Qi did a good job of completing the tasks assigned to him by the coach.
"Smack!" Noah tossed a stinking garment into the basket.
Who's doing the laundry today?
