The chapter name should be: Champions Cup (3)

……

The sunset over Lake Zurich is truly beautiful, and it's no wonder that this place, known as the "City of Billionaires", has been voted the most livable city in the world year after year.

Makqin and Isabella sat by the lake, watching Amin and Jenny chasing and laughing beside them, and it was peaceful.

"Cher, this place is really beautiful, how did you run to Liverpool to go to college~", he looked at the lake and chatted casually.

She tugged back her hair and put her arms on her knees, yes, she had always thought it was beautiful, except for the deserted manor.

Mom and Dad are busy every day and can't see people, such a big house, it's too lonely to live in.

She has always wondered, what is the use of making so much money?

"I want to live with my grandmother, she lives over there," she whispered.

Mackin glanced back at her, "Then you studied theology in school because of your grandmother?" ”

"Hmm", she nodded, "Grandma is a devout Catholic, and so am I"

"Faith can indeed make people spiritually satisfied"

Isabella smiled and turned her head to look at him, but the focus was not on his face, as if she was looking into the distance, and said, "Why do you sometimes speak as if you have gone through vicissitudes?" ”

"Yes," he nodded, "You can cure it," he said with a teasing smile.

White-eyed.

"Do you have any faith?" , she asked again.

"Not before, later", he looked at her and showed a warm smile, "It's you~"

……

Liverpool's youth team won 2-1 against Marseille in the second round of the group stage, and after the first game, Marseille clearly tightened up their defence against Mackin and Valle, who also watched the game from the stands.

Marseille started the game from set-pieces, and after Liverpool's first 3-0 win over Lazio, the young boys were clearly underwhelmed.

They trailed for a full 60 minutes, and in the 78th minute, Liverpool were awarded a free-kick in front of the penalty area, and Mackin finally equalised with a banana ball that hung into the corner.

Before the end, it was Makqin who inserted into the penalty area, nodded the ball back, assisted Danny to sweep the goal, and won a difficult victory over Marseille.

After the game, Hugh made a mess of them, because in the first fifteen minutes they were beaten by Marseille very embarrassed, and the overall problem, Mackin could not do anything.

Real Madrid defeated Lazio 3-2, the game was full of ups and downs, Lazio equalized twice, and finally lost regrettably.

In the final round, Real Madrid and Liverpool have the same points and the same goal difference, as long as Real Madrid does not lose, they can win the group by virtue of the advantage of scoring more goals.

Real Madrid's Castilla Gate, although the future in Madrid is bleak, but here still shows the heritage of the giant's youth training.

The scouts in the stands have listed Mackin as a key observer, and most of them are scouts from the giants.

Because ordinary scouts can't poach these giants at all.

Mack has two shots and two passes (the free kick deflects that doesn't count as an assist), and the stats are okay, but now that the winger is in charge, it seems that he hasn't played his type of midfielder for a few years.

"Zidan, do you think this No. 18 looks like you?" After Zidane retired, he stayed at Real Madrid to work, and this time he also came to watch the game, and the Real Madrid scouts sat next to him.

Zidane shook his head, "He's more like Hagi and Pirlo", Zidane can be said to be an artist on the court, he is the best at combining individual dribbling and passing.

There's no need for Mackin to dribble hard, his primary aim is always to get the ball where it belongs.

"But his passing is really good, it reminds me of Redondo", there is a player in the world, like Zinedine Zidane, like Andrea Pirlo, like Hadge, you can't define whether they are a midfielder or a midfielder because they never have a fixed area.

They will follow the ball from their own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, and they are not B2B all over the field, they are called midfield engines, and if they are more outstanding, they are midfield masters!

Mackin is still in the stage of seeing mountains as mountains, and Master Zhao is still far away, what he needs to do first is to learn to command a team.

Now it's U18, and then? It has to be the first team!

Liverpool was suppressed by Real Madrid on the field, which was purely a gap in personal skills, and Mackin had no choice but to really play a defensive counterattack.

Zidane likes this kid a lot, he has a temperament on the field, and he lifts weights like light.

You can see that his dribbling is not outstanding, but the change of pace allows him to barely concede the ball.

You can see he's not very fast, but sometimes a simple smash can get away from the defense.

He is always observing the situation on the field, this teenager, the ball quotient is very high.

"You can consider trying to bring him in, I'm optimistic about this kid," Zidane said to the scout.

A player like this type is basically the kind of player who can't find a replacement, he may not be the biggest star in the team, but he must be the cornerstone and irreplaceable.

The scout nodded, "I've been thinking about it these days, but I didn't expect to be able to dig up treasures here~"

The game on the pitch had been going on for more than ten minutes into the second half, and Liverpool was down 0-1.

Twenty-two minutes into the first half, Real Madrid's No.9 striker burst into the box after a series of links up front, and a feint shook Elmer and scored with a low shot.

After playing three games, it was the first game that made Liverpool lose their temper, and the pass was so fast that they didn't even react.

"Don't worry, we can pull it back, Valle, don't run so early......", Makqin kept cheering on the field, directing left and right, he was more like a captain than Hobbs.

Just now he was pushed down by the opponent again, it seems that Real Madrid has obviously summed up the experience of the first two games of Lazio and Marseille, even if the foul does not let him play easily, especially after the side lost the ball.

Do everything possible to curb his fast attack pass.

Difficulty! But exciting! He finally realized what Alonso told him, that the purpose of the organization was to promote oneself and rule the other.

This kind of suppression with a high average skill level has to rely on him to find a way out to find a way out that the team can attack.

Hugh is completely firmly seated in the Diaoyutai, this win or loss will not affect the qualification, he has to let go and see how the team performs.

He looked at Real Madrid's attacking formation and took advantage of the throw-in to run to Valle, "Valle, you stay on the left and make the most of their full-backs"

"Uh-huh",

'Danny, you pressed their two centre-backs on the counter-attack'

"Okay, got it"

The whole world knows that a weak team wins a strong team by counterattacking, and the difference is how to fight back.

Both of these games know that Valle is fast, and the success rate of simply finding him is too low.

Alex is the second-fastest in the team and Mackin intends to use his pace to tear through Real Madrid's defence.

Twenty minutes into the second half, Real Madrid's No. 9 midfielder's through plug stopped the ball slightly wide under Elmer's top defense, and was stabbed to Lint by Mackqin, who had been filling in the position.

Counterattack!

Lint didn't even turn around, and pushed it flat to Mark Qin, who came up to answer, Mark Qin picked up a pass, and directly sent the ball to the unguarded side, and left midfielder Deli stopped the ball steadily.

Valle frantically inserted forward to the left sideline, Deli's ability is very average, the defensive enthusiasm is high, I wanted to play a regular over-the-top hit to Vallai, and he didn't care if it was successful~

Before he could kick, he heard Makqin who ran over frantically shouting, "Give it to me, don't play the ball~"

Deli took two steps and knocked the ball back to Mackin as if it were a soldering iron.

Real Madrid saw that this was going to play our right side, and the central defenders and midfielders were leaning towards this side.

That's what Mark wanted to do, and he wanted it to create a sprint space for Alex.

Catch the ball with his right foot stopped, without any extra movements, "Alex, run~", as he shouted, his left foot shoveled precisely at the bottom of the ball.

This ball is given by Mack Qin more deeply, just to let Alex fully rush up, Alex is like a wild horse, bypassing the Real Madrid left-back who has not been able to return to his position, and goes straight to the penalty area.

The next three whites desperately chased back behind him, and Alex received the ball and stepped off the sideline of the box into the box.

didn't drag the mud and water, directly kicked a flat cross, went around a small arc, and sent the ball to the small penalty area.

Valle relied on his explosive power to quickly shoot at the front point, and in a crowd of people turned over, the ball crashed into the goal in an irregular motion, and Valle also collided with the goalkeeper.

"Yay~", the players on the bench are crazy, and the goal of Real Madrid is particularly exciting~

Makqin hurried to Valle's side, and Danny was asking him how he was, "How is it, Valle"

"It's okay, haha, oops, it hit my thigh, it hurts a little, haha, I'm in Real Madrid~", this guy can't be happy, if it weren't for the fact that the Real Madrid players couldn't understand English, they would probably have to come up to find trouble.

Their goalkeeper also hit his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

Ma Qin helped him up from behind, "Take two steps slowly, let the team doctor deal with it for you, don't be happy, your mouth is almost behind your ears"

"Haha, hard injury, I know it in my heart", it is estimated that he is fantasizing about the spring and autumn dream of becoming famous and marrying into a wealthy family~

Zidane shook his head, he saw very clearly in the audience, Mackqin picked one by one, deceived the entire Real Madrid's defensive center of gravity, and exposed Alex with a large amount of sprint space.

Real Madrid's midfielder is not good at small skills, and the overall situation and control are one level worse than this No. 18.

This kind of long pass tearing, he has only seen in a limited number of people, Hadji, Pirlo, Alonso, Beckham.

Even Xavi, the brain of himself and Barcelona, is dominated by short and medium passes, and rarely has this kind of sharp sword across the field.

It seems that Alonso did not guide the teenager less.

Sure enough, it's Liverpool's youth team, and it's really Liverpool!

Their first team relied on Alonso's long pass command to win the world, but they didn't expect another youth team to come out.

It's just that no one can see that his aggression is much stronger than Alonso~

No matter where you put me, all I have in my eyes is the gap and the goal!

Location? Can this thing be eaten?

He was influenced by the tactics of later famous coaches, and at that time, even the goalkeeper played like a No. 4 back.

In the end, Liverpool and Real Madrid shook hands 1-1 and settled in second place.

In the other group, Arsenal, Bayern qualified.

The semi-finals were a direct clash between the two future stars of the Under-18s, Mack Qin and Wilshere.

An Arsenal prince, a Prince Cocoby.

Finally a direct conversation.
