Backstage strike, the chapter name should be: Champions Cup (1)

……

Time has stubbornly passed the scorching summer of May, the major leagues have also died down, there is no major tournament this summer, Liverpool quickly fell silent after losing to Milan in the final.

After all, they did not complete the feat of killing Milan again, because the demon knife Inzaghi was unsheathed, and more than ten people watched the game on the spot, and history is still the same.

His little butterfly just flicked its wings, affecting Cocoby and the reserves.

He played well in the reserves, but he just didn't have the passion for Cocoby, and I can't say why, maybe it was the fate of the spare tire that made hope sink with it.

That's right, they are the spare tires of the first team, all kinds of irregular loan departures in the team, the first team is transferred and devolved, and the list in Hughie's hand has not been repeated after dozens of games.

Everyone sees this as a stopover, and Benitez is conservative in promoting youngsters, which has cut off the hopes of many Cocoby Academy students who have been promoted to the reserves.

They always have to be in this industry, so they have to find another way out, and it's better than getting moldy here.

In the bar next to Sam's Pizza, Marco came to chat with him at the end of the season as usual, acting as his professional mentor.

"Mark, have you seen all the tapes I brought you?" Marco asked, sipping a beer.

From the moment he entered Cocoby, Marco found him a lot of tapes, including Hadji's, Pirlo's, and some edited games.

Marco said that tactical literacy is fed by experience, and the more you watch, the more you play, the more you will naturally improve.

"I've seen them all," he nodded, and he never had to force himself to do so, because he was fascinated by what he watched.

Marko patted him on the shoulder, "You did well in the reserves, don't worry, come on"

He forced a smile and said, "Marco, I won't hide it from you, Benitez hasn't been here once a year, but a few people have been temporarily transferred during the cup match, and the mood in the team is not high"

"You too?"

Nodding, "It was okay at first, but then I felt that it was really boring to play, there were no familiar teammates, no fixed tactical routines, no performance requirements, everything was like a temporary patchwork", he turned his glass and said.

Marco was a little silent, knowing that many of the new stars had their stars wiped out in the reserve level.

The youth team has a lot of outstanding new stars born every year, but they can really make a name for themselves in the top arena~

Yes, he played well in the reserves, and Hughey thought he was good, but that's all.

He's going to be 16 soon, and he's the age of many who have just been promoted to the Under-18s, and his mind has really flown to the first team.

Last year, the old Haiwei recommended him, that is, the fire cooking oil, he is Cocoby's political achievements, is the banner of the achievements of the youth in the past ten years, but Benitez threw him aside.

He still remembers the first time he scored in the reserves, the first time he scored a hat-trick, the first time he felt in a small derby......

And then it was a quick silence each time.

Reserves, it's so lonely!

He doesn't want to stay anymore!

When he signed a professional contract last year and was transferred to the first team, he was still dreaming of being like Cocoby in the reserves.

The stars shine, they are exceptionally promoted, and they become famous in one shot.

But he also shined and worked hard, but the result was not much changed.

The door of the first team is like an iron gate, between him and the future.

Next year, he will still repeat the process of this year, one after another, and every time he thinks of this, he is a little unmotivated~

"Huh?" , Marco suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Aren't you going to the Champions Youth Championship in the summer? Why don't you let Mark go too, he was the core of the U18 and now he has no problem representing the U18 at all.

I believe that the old Haiwei will not refuse, let him participate in the continental competition, at least it can arouse his enthusiasm for the game, and it would be a pity not to let him be silent in the reserves......

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, got up and said to Mark: "You keep training for the past two days, don't go anywhere, wait for my news~", and left in a hurry.

"Huh?" What's the situation? He thought to himself as he looked at Marco's departing back.

Shaking his head, "Tony, another glass of soda~"

……

"What? Brother are you going to Switzerland? Ai Ming asked with a shout, she successfully applied for a key high school, and she will go to Liverpool High School next year.

It's finally a holiday, and I thought her brother would take her on a trip, but I didn't expect that there was this and I had never heard of the game.

"Brother, in addition to the game now, you are going to find Isabella, do you know that you have a sister~", she pouted.

Chen Zixuan held her stomach, let Peter sit on the sofa with him, and glanced at Ai Ming with disgust: "What are you yelling about, your brother is going to the game, it's not for him to decide, the club has the final say~"

Ma Qin smiled and said: "It's true that I missed the appointment, I originally planned to take her out to have fun, and she studied very hard this year", looking at Ai Ming, who was angry, he thought about it and said: "Why don't you go with me"

"Really?" , She turned her anger into joy, and then frowned again, "But what's the point of me being alone, or I'll call Jenny~, just do it", she snapped her fingers and immediately prepared to call.

"No, no, no", Chen Zixuan shook his head and said: "Two little girls, I'm not at ease outside~"

"Oops, sister-in-law......", Emin is ready to grind.

Mackin smiled, "It's okay, Isabella is also on vacation, she is also back to Switzerland, I'll see if I can take care of her"

Ai Ming jumped up happily, "yes, this is good, now you can rest assured~"

He looked at Chen Zixuan, who was helpless who was pestered by Ai Ming, and went to call with a smile~

"Huh? You're coming to Switzerland too? There was a pleasant voice on the other side of the phone, soft and silky.

He looked out the window and said with a smile, "yes, I'm afraid I won't be able to see me when you want to"

Isabella held her forehead with one hand, "Mark, believe it or not, I beat you in the past~"

"Haha", he pulled the window lattice, "That must be the most beautiful torture in the world~"

“……”

"Don't laugh at it, it's actually ......"

Isabella was speechless, "I said Mark, you really don't treat me as an outsider~"

"Of course, as her future sister-in-law, do you have to behave~", he said with a cheap smile.

"Smack", Mark Qin looked at the phone he hung up, hehe smiled, it's done~

Who knew that Isabella was using the pillow as his anger over there, "I'll kill you badass~"

Waiting for the fight to sweat, he exhaled again as if resigned to his fate, and dialed Ai Ming's phone......

……

Champion Youth Cup, Mackin has never heard of such a thing, the youth team competition, the continental level, he used to know nothing except the World Youth Championships and the Champions League Youth Championships.

In fact, various organizations and sponsors hold many youth cups every year, at the regional level, at the national level, at the continental level......

The Champions Youth Cup is under the G14 name, and of course the giants of the major leagues are invited, but the teams are not fixed every year.

This year's invitations include Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Valencia, Juventus, Lazio, Bayern and Marseille.

Divided into two groups, the top two qualify, and then the semi-finals, the finals, that is, to win the championship, you need to play five games.

Since it is a youth cup, it is definitely required to be a youth team, under the age of 19, and each team can only have two overage players.

Originally, it was to train young people, and the championship was secondary, so no team really brought overage players, unless there were really not enough manpower.

Elmer, Valle, Mackin and Danny Pacheco, the four of them were visiting Zurich.

The Limmat River has taken Zurich into history like time, with the north bank of the river filled with old European medieval buildings and the south bank of the ultra-modern metropolis.

"Danny, have you been here before?" , they walked along the lake, Valle asked.

Danny shook his head, he had just moved from Barcelona and was just seventeen years old, and Mack couldn't figure out why he had come to England.

"Danny, how did you come to England?" , he asked.

His English is not very fluent, and he said a little stumblingly: "I want to ~ improve myself, there are not as many opportunities as there are in La Masia~"

Valle, you turned his head and glanced at the handsome Spanish guy, "Then have you seen Messi?" ”

He nodded, "Of course, he is one level higher than me, he is the prince of La Masia~, and now he has gone to the first team", saying with a little envy.

Elmer patted Mackin and said, "See, our Prince Cocoby is here, he went to the first team last year"

"Alright, Elmer, that's the reserves," he said, speechless.

"That's the first team too, haha", Valle said with a laugh.

Makqin shook his head and said to Danny: "We have a lot of your fellow Spaniards on the team, communicate with them more, they will be happy to help you"

Danny nodded, "I know, thank you"

"Mark, you're finally back, why don't you win a championship this time~", Valle said.

Elmer agreed, "yes, take a championship back"

"It's not that easy to come this time because it's all from the youth of a big family," Danny said, shaking his head.

"Don't be afraid", Makqin is also a little longing, "The youth training of the giants is not a giant, we can win them"

"Yes, you can win"

"Can Win"

Danny looked at these three partners, and his heart was a little hot, how could anyone who didn't want to win the championship when he played football?

When they returned in the evening, the fixtures had already been set, and they were in a group of Liverpool, Real Madrid, Lazio, Marseille.

This time it was Hugh who led the team, and he was able to play under this enlightenment teacher, and Makqin was very excited, because here, he was the core of the game!

Champion Youth Cup, come on, no matter what the championship, I have to fight for it!
