Chapter 27 Youth Team Substitutes

In the following days, Wu Qi and the others had no ball to kick. Because many clubs across the country have withdrawn from the junior competition, the competition will not be able to organize a team, so naturally there will be no game to play.

This is true not only in Brazil, but all over the world. There are many small clubs that simply can't support the huge ladder of senior teams, youth teams, and junior teams, and they have to make trade-offs between them. Therefore, the time of the junior competition held every year is also relatively random, and it is not the so-called annual competition, because most of the teams in the junior group are unstable.

The vast majority of clubs still focus on the results of the senior and youth teams.

After continuing his regular training for two or three months, Wu Qi received a call from the youth team.

This is the second player from the junior team to enter the youth team after Sintani.

Sintani was originally two years older than Wu Qi, with a strong body and superb skills at his feet. After the New Year, he will be 17 years old, which is the age standard for a regular youth team player. Therefore, his selection is completely reasonable.

As for Wu Qi's arrangement, it was completely a decision made by the entire coaching staff after discussion. Mario believes that it is necessary for Wu Qi to enter the youth team in advance to feel the atmosphere and learn some experience. After all, the current training of the junior team can no longer allow Wu Qi to further improve, and he doesn't want to waste this future star.

"Wu, your performance in the past six months or so has been very good. The club has decided to renew your contract and from now on you will play for the youth team. I would now like to ask for your opinion on behalf of the club. Mario spoke slowly, with sincerity between the lines.

Mario's words are familiar. Wu Qi remembered that it was Lima who sent him an invitation to join the team. Unexpectedly, the way and tone of speech of these two people were so close.

"Of course, I'd love to." Wu Qi agreed without thinking. Isn't this exactly what Wu Qi has dreamed of for so many years? What else do you need to think about?!

"Don't get too excited! Given your experience issues, you start with the substitutions. I can't guarantee your playing time. Mario reminded Wu Qi.

"I'll keep trying." Wu Qi's answer was still brief.

The experience of more than a year has made Wu Qi grow a lot. He felt very lucky. Think about it at the beginning, if he was not eliminated by Shenhua because of his incomplete qualifications, he would not have met the later Lima; Without Lima's introduction, I wouldn't have come to the Sao Paulo Academy; If I hadn't seen Mario, I wouldn't have grown so much in a year.

Now, through his own hard work, even if he gets a substitute for a youth team, Wu Qi is very content.

"Report to the youth team in the evening."

"Yes"

At night, the youth team practiced in the playground. They played against Santos three days later.

You know, Neymar has also entered the youth team!

Although Wu Qi is looking forward to fighting Neymar again, it doesn't seem to work this time.

The team's No. 1 striker Kondo and substitute Heimer have been in the youth team for nearly two years and have performed well. Wu Qi, as the third substitute, is difficult to fight for a chance to play between the two of them.

"Wu Qi, you are behind Haimer, mainly on defense." Mario finished explaining Wu Qi's task.

At the beginning of the group confrontation, Wu Qi played the position of the back midfield.

Hehe, Wu Qi is still very familiar with the position of the back waist, and he can't help but smile. There was no way, he was a substitute among the substitutes, so he had to make up the numbers.

Brazil is rich in superstars and can be found in almost every position on the field. I have to say that Gundo, as the main striker of the Sao Paulo youth team, is still very strong. At both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Gundo's every touch of the ball is small and stylish, and he is a veritable main force.

Wu Qi is in the back position, and it is precisely Jingduo who is opposed.

After a year of training, Wu Qi's physical strength and strength have been greatly improved, and he has already gotten rid of the original fleeing defense. Against the youth team, Wu Qi also seemed to be at ease. His duel with Kyodo can be regarded as evenly matched.

As the first hurdle in the backline, Wu Qi was firmly rooted in the midfield, and the opponent did not get too good opportunities.

Wu Qi's performance also surprised the other youth team players present, and everyone may not have expected the newcomer Wu Qi to be so reliable.

The ball at Haimer's feet was snatched in the front court, and it was Wu Qi's old friend, Sintani, who broke the ball.

Of all the people present, only Sintani was not surprised by Wu Qi's performance. He dribbled through the center circle and passed the ball to Gundo before facing Wu Qi.

Wu Qi ran to Jingduo, this is the first head-to-head duel between the two tonight!

When Wu Qi defended, he used his footsteps to master the rhythm as much as possible and blocked Kyodo's breakthrough route to the greatest extent.

Gundo observed the situation on the pitch and, after making a slight adjustment, played a long ball to the right winger.

This is the only gap that Wu Qi missed. Wu Qi's defensive thinking is like playing basketball, trying to hold the center and not letting him get the ball, as for the opponent to shoot three-pointers, then let him shoot. If you want to be sure, I can't help it.

Gundo chose a long pass in such a situation, which is very wise.

After the ball got past the defender, the winger went straight down to the bottom of the cross.

Sintani arrived at the horse, 1 to 0!

Wu Qi was taken aback by this. He remembered that he would make the same choice as Kyodo in the same defense. The tricks that you can use yourself, how to prevent others from being negligent.

This duel between the two actually reflects Wu Qi's lack of experience. Although he did a good job of guarding his opponent's various breakthrough routes, he overlooked his opponent's long passing ability. Ignoring this is due to the fact that he did not observe the speed of the opposing wingers and forwards at all, and only focused on Gundo.

Although Wu Qi quickly understood the reason for conceding the goal just now, the result was already 0-1 behind.

"Kyodo is very difficult to deal with!" Wu Qi didn't expect that in addition to Neymar, the senior in his team, Jingduo, was also so good.

After several offensive and defensive changes, although the two sides have not made any achievements, the process is wonderful.

"Alright, that's the end of today's training." After making a summary, Mario announced his disbandment.

"Your name is Wu Qi, right?" Kyodo walked towards Wu Qi.

"Hello, Kyodo senior, I'm Wu Qi." Wu Qi looked very polite.

"Playing well, let's be together in the future!" Kyodo said with a smile.

The so-called "together" means eating and training together. The youth team already has its own dressing room and accommodation is arranged individually. Dressing room culture has taken shape in the youth team.

Jingduo's invitation to Wu Qi can be regarded as a recognition of Wu Qi's ability. For newcomers, Wu Qi is very lucky.

"That's great, let me tell you, Wu Qi, this kid played a good game!" Sintani quickly picked up the conversation.

"Haha! Is it? Kyodo laughed.

It's a game with Santos in two days, and although he didn't play, Wu Qi is still looking forward to it!
