Volume 1 Chapter 31 The Chicks Leave the Nest
The chapter title should be: Champions Cup (2)
……
"Mark, you kid give me a good kick, let me see if you have improved this year, if you regress, I can't spare you", Hugh said to Mark Qin "fiercely" on the sidelines.
"You can rest assured, as long as your team doesn't play the same way, it's all right," he said with a smile.
The youth team did not play as intensively and the time was tight, one game in three days and two weeks over.
They will play against Lazio youth this evening.
As soon as Mack Qin returned, he was the core of the indefinite group, and most of these U18s were old people and a few former U16 teammates.
I have a spectrum of his strength, so I don't have any objections.
Mark is also the commander of the midfield, with Lint behind and Valle and Danny in front.
As soon as Danny came over, he showed that the small-scale technique he had trained in La Masia was indeed much more delicate than the group that had come out of.
"Hey, hey, Danny, pay attention", he shouted on the field, he and Danny are in a position similar to Alonso and Gerrard, Danny plays the position of nine and a half, and the two must strengthen the tacit understanding as soon as possible.
In the youth team, Mackin is not modest, and his position in the team can command anyone.
Danny turned around and nodded, giving a thumbs up, he was a bit alone in front of the penalty area.
Marco looked at Hugh from the sidelines and said: "Mark is still in the youth team is the real him, and it always feels almost boring in the reserve team!" ”
Hugh clasped his hands to his chest, watched the game and said: "Mark is the kind of tactical type, relying on individual ability, his advantages are not outstanding, the reserves are not suitable for him, and even in the first team I think he performs better than the reserves"
Marco smacked his lips, there was nothing they could do in the first team, that was Benitez's turf.
Do you recommend that old Haiwei transfer him back? He was really afraid that Mark Qin would wear out his heart in the reserves~
As the training match continued, Makqin could be seen shouting loudly on the field, and he went to Melwood for a spin, and he felt more responsible on the field.
He began to command his teammates frequently, and he wanted to re-acquaint his teammates with him as soon as possible, and the key is that he has this qualification now.
At half past six in the evening, they arrived at the Zurich City Stadium, where all the matches would be played, the stadium was not small, but the spectators were a little unsatisfactory, only the front seats were scattered and sitting.
In the front row of the audience behind Liverpool's substitutes, there are three beautiful women, but the playing field is still eye-catching.
"Sister Xue'er, I've been so happy to have fun in the past two days, you really didn't say anything to my brother, if he bullies you in the future, I'll help you clean him up~", Ai Ming said holding her arm.
"Well, that's right, count me in," Jenny chimed in.
π_π, I have been planted in the hands of your brothers and sisters all my life.
For Aiming, who completely considers herself a sister-in-law, Isabella has completely lost her temper, and she can't hate this cute girl at all.
The opening match was Liverpool vs. Lazio, Hobbs was the captain, there was no ceremony, the two sides exchanged team flags, and the game was ready to start.
The two sides know almost nothing, and they are not familiar with each other, so they can only go to the field to explore.
"Toot ~", the game begins.
Valle quickly fed the ball back to Mackin from just outside the centre circle, and Lazio's two forwards quickly pressed him on.
It's the first time he's playing for an Italian team, and when he's a fan, he knows that chain defence has been practiced since the youth team, and he wants to see how it's different from the average team.
He fed the ball back to Elmer in the back line and quickly pulled out to get ready to respond, and Lazio's opening momentum startled him, most likely deliberately arranged, to steal the opening.
"Elmer", Makqin pointed at the goalkeeper and didn't let him kick wide.
Hugh was going to get up and shout a few words, mainly to tell them not to panic, otherwise it would be really easy for Lazio's three-board axe to take a break.
Seeing Ma Qin's automatic command, he sat back again.
Lazio's two forwards persevered, and the central defenders also pressed up, but by this time the Liverpool backfield had already pulled away.
Overage goalkeeper Martin distributed the ball to the wing, and Mack Qin immediately ran over to catch it, and the opponent's No. 4 midfielder also followed.
He received the ball without making any action, and directly rolled the ball back to the goalkeeper from the gap between the two strikers of the opposing side, and then pointed to the other side and shouted, "Upside down"
When he ran sideways from the backfield for a lap and returned to the goalkeeper for the third time, these Lazio frontcourt people finally stopped rushing like crazy, nonsense, you don't stop sprinting for three minutes?
He got the goalkeeper's pass in the back position again, and at this time the No. 4 just blocked his forward route, knowing that it was useless to rob him.
Mark Qin comfortably took the ball and turned around, directly a long pass forty meters away over the top, he wanted to test the speed of the opponent's back line, and a red trot flew up~
"Beautiful~", many scouts in the stands subconsciously said.
It's been played so many times that Valle knew he was going to run as soon as he saw his rhythm.
When the person arrives, the ball falls~
Without pause, Valle followed the ball and went straight to the penalty area.
He was countered offside between the full-backs and the centre-backs, and the two Lazio centre-backs ran desperately into the box.
The speed was not slow, Valle couldn't pull them away with the ball, he thought to himself.
In fact, as it was, Valle will finish before the centre-back's toe touches the ball with a flying tackle.
The angle was a bit off, not to mention just catching up with Valle's weak left foot, and the ball hit the side-netting.
"Good ball", Mackin applauded loudly, responding to Vallai's thumbs-up.
The Lazio coach stood up from the dugout, and Liverpool's attack was very concise, and it was precisely such a simple attack that broke through their defence.
The number 9 was very fast, and the number 18 was very accurate in his passing.
He walked to the sideline and shouted a few loudly in Italian, which meant that the defender should stick to Valle.
After that, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and Lazio did not dare to press too high, otherwise it would give Valle space to sprint.
Lazio play mainly on the wings, and their number 9 striker is also a speed type, often pulling on the side.
However, Hobbs and Elmer are both orthodox defenders with good headers in the Premier League and are not too afraid of the ball on both sides.
Twenty-five minutes into the game, the two sides were almost tempted, and Makqin basically understood the opponent's style of play.
In the youth team's game, if it is not a particularly outstanding midfielder, basically the team does not have any rhythm at all, and it is all according to the coach's tactical arrangement.
But Liverpool is not, Hugh's arrangements for Mackin are all programmatic and never standardize the details.
For example, this one, just four words, a combination of fast and slow.
Kicking and kicking, he has a little experience, Italy's formation defense does have rules, who grabs and who fills the position, it is not chaotic at all.
Valle, Danny and the two wingers didn't create any good chances because they were all attacking with the ball.
No. 4 followed him very closely for a while, and they also found that Macqin was the core, and Macqin handed the ball to Lint before he was close, and then quickly ran away.
Lint pushes directly to Danny in front of him, and Danny's role is on display, he can hold the ball.
Taking advantage of the diverted attention of the defense, Mack quickly inserted forward along the ribs, and for the first time in this game, he stepped forward so resolutely.
"Danny", watching him get rid of a defender laterally, Makqin shouted.
Danny quickly pushed across his running line, and he quickly pushed forward to let Lazio's filling wing-back continue to cut forward.
Valle had already knocked the ball back in a comfortable two-by-one.
This time he suddenly picked up the speed and instantly attracted the attention of the entire backline, he slammed the ball back from Valle, gently pushed the arch of his left foot, and then ignored the ball and went straight into the box.
The defender was taken a big step back by his run, so that when Danny received the ball at the top of the arc, there was no one around~
He bent his bow and arrow, and when he saw that he was about to shoot from a distance, Lazio's defender hurriedly stepped forward to block, but he also faked a real pass, and the arch of his right foot was gently pushed.
The ball went through the entire backline and into the corner of the six-yard box, where right-back Alex slotted in and fired a blast.
Pierced the goalkeeper's goal that the goalkeeper didn't have time to return to!
"Yay~", Liverpool's benches all rushed out, and the players on the field also followed Alex to the bench.
"Oh~, the ball is in", Emin jumped up and cheered, and then saw Makqin gesture to them with a big heart-shaped hand.
"Haha", she shook Isabella, "Sister, look, my brother is very bold~"
Isabella suddenly felt a little happy, and it was the first time she had been shown her love in public.
Mackin gave him a very complicated feeling, but it always made her feel that she would think of him from time to time, when he was laughing or a little lonely, this boy, distracted~
The game continued, and the opponent immediately strengthened the siege of Mack Qin in the scolding of the coach.
"Mark, just kick it like this", Hugh shouted at him with a thumbs up from the sidelines.
Seeing that Lazio was about to pounce again, Mack retreated and beckoned to Danny again, "Danny, come back a little", it is just right to counterattack now.
Liverpool have put up the fence, Lazio really has no good way, there are Lint and Mackin in the middle, one is good at tackling tackles, and the other is good at filling in positions.
He was blocked a few times in the middle, but he had to play on both sides again, and in the 39th minute, another cross was crossed, and Hobska was in a good position to go over.
The periphery was in chaos, Mack Qin got the ball in the chaos, and No. 4 immediately came over to steal with his legs, and the posture was that the ball and the man had to leave one.
He liked this kind of stunned blue the most, wiped it with a gear, and then without pausing, a 30-meter straight plug was sent to the front of Lai Valai.
"Toot", the referee raised his hands flat, the attack was effective, and the game continued. Mackin was pulled down by the number four who turned around.
This time it was a straight plug in the middle, Valle rushed into the Lazio penalty area with the ball and passed the goalkeeper, and a relaxed push turned the score into 2-0.
The Lazio players who were chasing back lowered their heads in frustration, they were all small players, and at the moment they didn't know how to be beaten twice by the other party.
They are actually not weak, but the offensive and defensive transitions of the youth team have always been chaotic.
At the moment when he switched from defense to attack, there was a gap in his eyes.
"Mark, continue in the second half~", at halftime, the atmosphere was very relaxed, Valle said to him excitedly.
"That's how Lazio's defense is, don't they all say that the Italian team defends well?" , said a player.
Hugh slapped his face, "Don't be careless, two balls are not safe, if one is pulled back, they will have momentum, Mark", he turned his head and continued: "In the second half, I will fight back, but I also have to control the ball, don't let the opponent be unscrupulous"
"Understood," he said, wiping his sweat.
In the second half, Lazio was still powerless, they couldn't control the midfield, several players were sappers, and they were easily cut off, and the Central Plains were lost.
The Lazio manager doesn't have a good idea, the defense depends on the attitude, and the attack depends on the talent.
In the end, I could only play a long pass and hang it.
I didn't expect the benefits of chaos to have chaos, and it really made them rush out a few chances, and Martingaard resisted it to keep the goal from losing.
Mack pressed Martin's hand, signaling him not to rush to kick his feet, and then ran to the back line to get ready to catch the ball.
"Give it to me," he shouted at Martin.
Lazio can't be allowed to get on the ground, their own defense is not strong enough to ignore Lazio, and the youth team is prone to making mistakes one after another if they concede a goal.
He played with the defender goalkeeper in the midfield again, and the Lazio coach saw that this No. 18 is really good, if it were in our team, it would be clear-headed, even.
He directs the players at the back, doesn't let them pass forward casually, and now he has to play the success rate.
After slipping away for a while, seeing that his teammate's mentality and position had stabilized, he pushed the ball to Danny.
Danny and Alex, Valle played a couple of games on the right flank and were brought down by the opposing defenders.
A free kick from the edge of the box.
Mack ran over to take the penalty, and Hobbs and Elmer both ran up, which was the equivalent of a fixed-point cross.
Looking at the posture in the penalty area, Mack Qin kicked off the ball and swept it flat, and directly found Lint who was ambushed outside the big penalty area.
Lint stretched his leg and drew his sword with a kick, which was refracted into the net, and the goalkeeper could not do anything.
"Ah~", Lint ran towards him excitedly, the iron tree blossomed~, he couldn't score a few goals in a season.
"Haha, nice shot"
"Yay~, we've won", more players ran over.
Hugh looked at his heart and waved his hand to prepare for a substitution, Mingjin withdrew the troops, there were less than twenty minutes left in the game, and the overall situation was decided.
Makqin received warm applause from the stands when he came off the field, he was outstanding today, he knew how much to watch the ball, and in midfield, his level was a cut higher.
He waved his hand toward the stands in response and sat down on the bench.
Win the start, the group qualification is not a big problem, a single round-robin, the same score is calculated to win the relationship, and the chance of winning a game and taking the top two is very large.
After the game, they did not rush to leave, and watched the match between Real Madrid and Marseille from the stands, and Real Madrid killed Marseille with a clean 4-1.
The battle for the top spot in this group is estimated to be Liverpool and Real Madrid.
