The chapter name should be: Champions Cup (6)

……

"Hula~", with a whistle from the referee, Morata knocked the ball to De Tomas.

"Fans and friends, the game officially begins, Liverpool youth team in red team uniforms against Real Madrid Castilla youth team, this is the final of the Champions Youth Cup, the two teams ...... each other", Volker said to the camera.

Maika commented: "This Castilla, some of the players I still have the impression of, they excelled as teenagers, Liverpool will face challenges in this game"

After the opening, Liverpool did not rush up and press forward immediately, but stabilized their backfield and set up a good formation, this is the final, if you lose the ball at the beginning, it will be a big trouble~

Makqin was behind Valle and Danny, directing the defense, "Valle, go up and press their central defenders, Danny, show your La Masia style~"

Real Madrid started the game with a quick pass from side to side and attacked, and the two teams had already played once in the group stage, so they knew what was going on with each other.

Their two wingers, Vazquez and Dennis, are both technically fast, but can play on the edge and are very difficult to defend.

Liverpool quickly retreated to their own 30-meter area, and with the skills of Castilla's men, once they got space, Liverpool's defense was really not enough.

"Now Vazquez has the ball, Carvajal comes up, De Tomas goes over to answer, Kalia and Deli are following~, Vazquez, pick the ball~, Carvajal~, cross~",

Deli followed a little slowly, and Hobbs immediately rushed to the front point, jumped hard, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area~

"Oh~", the stadium exclaimed.

If Hobbs misses the ball, Morata in the back will give Martin an explanation.

"Deli, follow their full-backs", Mackin shouted as he ran to defend Vazquez, who once again won the ball outside the penalty area, and Kalia was a little struggling alone~

Vazquez picked up the ball on the touchline and instead of moving forward, he dropped back to Moslak who came up.

"Danny, fill in!" Mark's defense to the wing, Danny must come back to keep his distance from Lint, this is the policy set before the game, except for Valle frontcourt harassment, everyone else must return to defend.

After a pass from midfield, Real Madrid played the ball to Liverpool's right flank, and Dennis slid the ball off the line under Torre's defence.

"Just play like this", Makqin shouted, "don't let them get the ball comfortably, follow them, and the defenders pay attention to the fill-in!" ”

Martin kicked off the goal, De Tomas immediately ran to the side of Mackin to defend, their coach Torrell is not a vegetarian, Mackin is Liverpool's first point to restrict.

Martin kicked the ball into Kallia, and Liverpool were not unprepared for that.

Kahlia dribbled forward and passed the ball to Mackin before Vazquez came up, and Mackin flicked it back to Hobbs, who was already unguarded, and then immediately turned and ran away from De Thomas and Mosquera to the other half.

"Oh? Real Madrid defended Mark very tightly, but Liverpool did not play long passes, the backfield players were on the back foot, Mark got rid of it, received the ball ~, and passed over the top to the right wing-back Torre", Walker said.

McManaman praised: "Okay, Liverpool played very patiently, very good, against Castilla, you must not easily lose the ball, otherwise their tide of attack is very dangerous~"

Lint received Torre's pass and pushed it to Danny, who retreated with his back to respond, and Borja followed up to defend, but Danny did not stop the ball and knocked it back to Mackin who ran to the gap.

He sent an outside instep diagonal pass to Alex on the touchline, and his thinking was very clear.

"Beautiful~", McManaman shouted, "Mark's pass is too goose girl (amazing)~, leisurely stroll, his state of this game is quite relaxed~"

Alex couldn't shake off left-back Gonzalez with a personal dribble, and when he got to the baseline, he turned around and kicked the ball to Torre, who played a cross to Mackqin.

He flicked back and flashed Borja, who stretched out his foot to break the ball, followed up with a big left foot to find Deli on the other wing.

The ball was flat and fast, Deli raised his leg to stop the ball, and right-back Carvajal was still in the box, taking advantage of Vazquez's not returning, and immediately crossed with his feet.

"Perfect~, Mark is Liverpool's brain, he is incomparable~", Walker can't stand it anymore~, these two legs are too sassy.

Deli didn't dribble or have speed, and his only advantage was aggressive running and a good cross.

The ball was passed fast and flat.

Valle frantically ran forward and jumped sideways from behind Nacho, "Bang~", the ball flew high above the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, and Valle and Nacho both fell to the ground with their heads covered~

"Oh~", "Wow~", applause......

"The game was quite intense at the beginning, both sides completed an attack, look at it in slow motion, oh~, Valle and Nacho headbutted, this guy is so brave~", Walker said to McCa.

Maika nodded: "The two teams have played in the group stage, and this one has not been reserved, and they have shown their momentum at the beginning, and water and fire meet"

Danny and Mackin stood beside Vale, watching the team doctor deal with Vallai, this kid is really desperate, fortunately there is no bleeding~

Makqin patted Valle and ran back, Real Madrid ready to open the scoring.

Liverpool didn't press in the front at all, because it was useless, they couldn't grab the ball from Real Madrid, and it was very easy to cause the gaps in the backfield to be exploited.

They are back in the defensive posture they started with.

Real Madrid were also very patient, patiently looking for opportunities 30 meters away from Liverpool's half, and they did not dare to press without scruples, and Liverpool's counterattack they tasted in the group stage.

Mackin still commanded the pressing and filling of the midfield line, and the two sides exchanged the ball several times in ten minutes, but no good chances were formed.

Vazquez and Carvajal's side were so sharp that Mackin had to fill them in frequently.

It is worthy of being Real Madrid's top full-back in a few years, and now he has the style of a general.

"Steady~", as soon as Ma Qin got up, he turned around and shouted towards the guard line.

Just now, Kalia was deceived by Vazquez's feints again, and directly let him wipe into the penalty area.

Makqin waved his hand to stop Hobbs, who was about to fill in, and a flying tackle in the box shoveled the ball off the line.

This is the ability to crush, and he can't help it.

In the penalty area, Morata and De Tomas let everyone die, and Mackin ran more than usual in this game!

"Oh~, Mark, this tackle is very clean, the referee ignored Real Madrid's request for a penalty, Liverpool's left side is very passive these days", Walker said.

"It's Real Madrid's right side that is too strong, their right winger and right wing-back, they are both fast and skilled, and they are very difficult to defend", Maika has been a little worried about these minutes, although both teams have been there, but they still favor Liverpool more.

Real Madrid's corner, Lint who was directly blocked in front of the point headed out of the sideline.

The game has been going on for more than 30 minutes unconsciously, and the head coaches on both sides are standing on the sidelines with their chests crossed and watching the game solemnly.

Real Madrid were more aggressive, but they didn't have many chances on goal, and Liverpool had even fewer shots on target.

Li Wei watched the game in the stands, and there was a feeling of nervousness and trembling, this level, is it a youth team?

Is Mackin the core of a team at this level?

He did play too well, number 18, completely the pivot of attack and defense!

Next to Sam, they held a large slogan that was said to be the MKQ18 flag, and kept singing and shouting, this is the British fans?

Real Madrid threw a throw-in, Vázquez received the ball and shifted it to the other side, where they were also tired.

After receiving the ball, Dennis did not go wide as he had done the previous times, but cut in, Alex watched Gonzalez who was running and did not follow, and Lint immediately went to fill in the position.

Seeing Lint coming, Dennis directly knocked on Borja who came to answer, Borja pushed to Morata who came out of the forward line with his back, Morata made a wall and knocked on Dennis who ran laterally.

Dangerous! This triangle passed directly to Lint, and the top of the arc was only Markin and Danny, who were still two meters away.

Dennis made a long-range shot, Mark Qin fell to the ground and put a shovel to prepare to block, Hobbs also wanted to block, but Dennis was waiting for this time, and he flicked it lightly.

The ball flew past Hobbs and went straight behind him, De Tomas turned and stabbed straight away, and the ball got under Martin's armpit and into the door!

"hala, Madrid~", "boom~"

Mark Qin was lying on the ground, panting, unable to prevent it~, the technical gap is too big.

Immediately he jumped up, "Raise your head", he shouted to Hobbs and Elmer, who were bowing their heads, "The game is not over yet, the time is still long~"

You have to find a way to catch it back as soon as possible, at least in the first half, so that the morale of your teammates will not be lost at halftime.

He immediately beckoned his teammates to cheer up and trotted all the way to Valle and Danny's side, "When you attack for a while, you two don't have a particularly good chance, let's see if we can create a free kick opportunity, we have to create a threat for them"

"Well, understood"

Against Real Madrid, conceding a goal is certain, the important thing is that we also have to score goals~, he thought to himself.

Wait for the Real Madrid players to finish celebrating and restart the game.

"Liverpool has to find a way, they do have a strength gap with Real Madrid, this ball Liverpool's defense only missed a little gap, and it was caught by Real Madrid~", Maika shook his head and said.

He went on to say, "Real Madrid conceded the most goals against Lazio in the group stage, conceding two headers, which shows that their air defense is still problematic, but Liverpool do not have a centre-forward who is good at heading, they need to take advantage of set-pieces"

After Liverpool's kick-off, the ball was played to Alex's side, with Mackin and Danny moving closer to the right, and their strong point was also on the right.

Danny and Alex tried a few times, but failed to break through Real Madrid's defence, and returned the ball to Macklin.

He made another big move, deceived Borja, and then smashed the ball back with his left foot, and pushed it to Danny, who was still on the edge of the box.

Danny stopped and knocked on the ball, and then followed up with a half-turned shot, and the ball went straight to the back corner.

"Beautiful~, Danny, ah~, Thomas saved the ball off the line, it would be nice if the angle was a little more tricky~", Walker sighed.

"Danny", he was still holding his head, but it was a pity that he heard Makqin call him, and when he looked at his eyes, Danny understood.

Mack Qin ran to send a corner kick, Danny quickly went to answer, Real Madrid was a little careless this time, when Mark Qin received the knock back ball, there was no one around, on the sideline of the big penalty area, Mark Qin stretched his bow and drew his sword, and took out a banana ball.

In this area, Mark Qin is not sure of shooting, so he chose this way of passing and shooting, the ball spins backwards, even if it can't go in, in case anyone accidentally touches it, it may be an oolong.

"Mark~, cross back point~, this ball~, Deli, rush to the top ferry~, oops, was topped out by Nacho~"

There was a lot of people in the box, but Mackin spun the ball off the far post, and Deli finally threw himself out, heading back on the baseline and being headed out by Nacho just outside the post.

"Oh~", the Liverpool fans in the stands hugged their heads and sighed, just a little bit worse~

Liverpool continue with corners.

"This Liverpool offensive is very victorious, they get corners in a row~, look at this corner~, Hobbs~, oops, it's too positive~"

Hobbs grabbed the point and hit the goal with a header, but unfortunately it was too positive, and was slapped out by the goalkeeper, and then I don't know which Real Madrid player cleared the siege.

Kalia unloaded the ball in midfield, "Here, Kalia", shouted Mackin who had just run from the corner to the corner of the box.

Calia pushed the ball to him from a long distance, and the Real Madrid defender had already pressed it out, and instead of waiting for the ball on the edge of the box, he ran towards it.

He got the ball at the front of the waist line, and there were Real Madrid players behind him, I don't know who it was.

The first half was about to end, his shoulders shook, relying on the feint behind the center of gravity for a moment, his right foot slammed, and he directly half-turned and wiped out the penalty area.

Vázquez clung to him, waiting for an opportunity to break the ball.

He took a step and flicked the outside of his foot to keep the ball away from Vazquez......

Mosquera had already come up to block, and just as he stretched out his foot to break the ball, Mack Qin took the ball with his right foot, and the ball slipped between his legs.

He hurriedly closed the small door, but it was late, and Mark Qin grabbed his shoulder and was ready to make a strong breakthrough, which made you have to go over?

Mosquera and Vazquez hurriedly closed the door, but half of Mackin had already passed, felt the collision, and immediately shouted, "Ah~", and rushed forward, and pressed the ball in his arms~

"And ~, Mark, catch the ball and turn ~", Volcker's machine-gun-like straight burst ~

"Free kick, Liverpool won a free kick at the top of the penalty area, against Marseille in the group stage, Mark scored a goal in a similar position, good chance~"

Makqin got up with Valle's support and looked at the position, about two steps away from the top of the arc, just right.

He knew he couldn't break through at all, he was just coming for a free-kick, and there were not many chances in the first half.

Real Madrid's players lined up under the command of Thomas, and Mackin was alone in front of the ball, and there was nothing else in this goal, but a shot, and both sides knew it.

"Let's see if Mark can save Liverpool before half-time, equalise and end the first half with a draw, and Liverpool won't be disappointed," said McKa.

He put the ball down, stepped back five paces, looked at the goalkeeper, which was his favorite position, and hit the ball on the sixth step, everything was in good rhythm, and Hobbs was ready to scramble from a distance.

Take a breath, exhale it, relax your whole body, and run ......
