The disappointing draw with Russia Under-16s left the players motivated and looking forward to the match against Japan Under-16s on 17 December.

Especially Zhou Duo, Meng Xinyan, and Sun Qi, when they saw Wang Jie and Chu Hongtu appearing, their eyes were even hotter, and they trained more actively in the team, even to the extent of the intervention of the team doctor.

Captain Fan Sheng, Su Wu, Zhou Bo, and other veteran players will find and solve these emotions in time, telling them that there will be no chance to perform under Lin Wenlei, and they all come over like this.

On the afternoon of the 16th, in the expectation of the new players, Lin Wenlei announced the start of the Japanese national youth:

"Most of the players from Japan's U16s are from Europe, so we have the traditional characteristics of Japan and the style of European teams... Whether you play or not, I have to remind you that because of the relationship in East Asia, there will be many people who will be your opponents for life, and it is up to you to make the impression of the first game. ”

The players rarely heard Lin Wenlei talk about things off the court, and they were all interested, and Lin Wenlei then announced the start:

"Forwards Sono and Chen Pu, midfielders Su Wu, Wang Jie, Zheng Zhi, Meng Xinyan, Fan Sheng, defenders Wang Yu, Xie He, Guiyang, and goalkeeper Chu Hongtu."

"I said the importance, but we still have to remember that the importance and the grasp of the mentality are also the test questions of this game, who has an unbalanced mentality and who will end up. Okay, how do you kick yourself to study..."

After finishing speaking, they left the time to themselves, so that Niu Xiwen, who didn't know Lin Wenlei's coaching style, was a little surprised, and after leaving the conference room of the training base, he was stunned for a while before catching up with Lin Wenlei and Wang Xinze, and took out a few of his own analyses for them to discuss.

Niu Xiwen's skills on the field are still very admirable to Lin Wenlei, but as a youth coach, he does not interfere with the performance of the players on the field, and the game is more like a test for him to test the players' training, competition ability and psychology, and never suffers from gains and losses.

"Brother Niu, Lin Jiao never arranges how the players play, the main thing is to cultivate the players' ability to play independently."

"The players are only teenagers, how can they understand how to play..."

Halfway through speaking, I thought that Lin Wenlei had done this in the first two games, and there was no confusion on the field as the players he was worried about, and he couldn't go on.

Lin Wenlei explained the theory of the relationship between his basic skills and on-the-spot psychology, and then encouraged Niu Xiwen to say:

“… Brother Niu, your several on-the-spot arrangements are excellent in my opinion, and the characteristics of the players have been put to good use, I think these are more suitable for the senior team, are you interested in going back and trying it in the senior team?"

Niu Xiwen nodded after listening, and smiled bitterly when he heard Lin Wenlei's proposal:

"Now there are very few opportunities for domestic coaches in the domestic Chinese Super League and Huajia, maybe we will go to the Chubei League to see if there is any opportunity. Now the environment of domestic coaches is much worse than that of players..."

"You don't have to focus on the country, if you are interested, you can try it in Europe, you don't have to be a big league, you don't have to be a head coach at the beginning, what do you think?"

Niu Xiwen thought about it for a while and felt that it was such a reason, but he came to his senses and said with a helpless smile:

"If it works, of course I'm willing, but I'm afraid that no one in the reserve youth team will be willing to give us a chance..."

After asking Niu Xiwen what he thought, Lin Wenlei stopped saying this, and turned to ask Wang Xinze, Wang Xinze also said that he was willing to try it if he had the opportunity, he knew Lin Wenlei's ability in Europe better, and he was eager to try it directly.

There was no training on the morning of the 17th, and in the afternoon the match against Japan U16 began on the court of the training center.

Japan Under-16s have adopted a 451 formation and it looks like the battle for midfield will be the focus of this one, with six or seven European-based players in the starting line-up, including two mixed-race players.

From the start, Japan Under-16s controlled the football in the slow pace of the central midfield, patiently looking for opportunities.

Jiangxia Qingyun also played more patiently, but after Japan U16 possessed the ball and attacked twice, their passing intentions felt that it was nothing more than that, and with Zheng Zhi's forward, the team began to press in the midfield.

But for Japan's U16, many transfers and transpositions have pulled the center of gravity of Jiangxia Youth Games, but they have not opened up the gaps, and the overall defensive position of Jiangxi Youth Games has also been maintained very well in the move, and the two attacks have been hasty.

Sheikh squeezed Japan U16 center Haraya Kitano to the bottom line with his excellent one-on-one ability, allowing him to shoot hastily from a tight angle, which was easily picked off by Chu Hongtu. Then Chu Hongtu directly threw the ball to Guiyang's feet, and Guiyang kicked the ball to Meng Xinyan, who was picking it up.

Meng Xinyan knew that his ability to hold the ball was the lowest in the team, so he didn't stay long, and turned around and pushed it to Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi squeezed the Japanese U16 back Yama Qi Haixiu behind him, and his body resisted him and stretched out his feet directly to the frontcourt.

Su Wu in the front court is running sideways, and the opponent's defender Kaneshiro Justin Toshiki has not relaxed his defense, after all, the fame of Atletico Madrid's B team is enough to make him the focus of the opponent's attention.

Su Wu suddenly made an emergency stop to hook the football, and Junshu in the back immediately followed the emergency stop and turned around, but he was not in a hurry to grab it, and was ready to stick to Su Wu first.

Su Wu didn't want to slow down the pace, and when the opponent turned around, he also pulled the ball and turned to the left, directly facing the back of Junshu, and then poked the ball out of his crotch.

Toshiki Kaneshiro was striding over, and when he saw Su Wu turn around, he was shocked, and then he felt the movement under his feet, knowing that it was too late to turn around and chase the ball, so he simply didn't stop and hit Su Wu directly, preferring to give a free kick in the backcourt than let Su Wu break through with the ball.

After knocking down Su in the afternoon, Toshiki Kaneshiro looked at the referee, hoping that the referee would not give a yellow card for the first foul, but he didn't expect the referee to make an offensive gesture to speed up to Japan U16.

Toshiki Kaneshiro looked back and saw that the No. 16 (Wang Jie) of Jiangxia Youth Games had crossed the halfway line with the ball, and there were only 4 defenders in their backfield and left midfielder Itan Ryoya to defend back, and another back, Yama Qikai Hide, had just run past him, and the backfield of Japan's U16 was almost empty.

Wang Jie took the ball and saw the opponent's left-back rushing towards him, and a horizontal acceleration dodged the left-back and continued to rush towards the penalty area.

With Su Wu's split, Sono and Chen Pu in front of him ran a diagonal cross in the front court, making the central defenders and right-backs who were staring at them hesitate, and the substitution defense chased back.

Just when Japan's U16 defense was torn apart, Wang Jie completed the line change, and faced the gap in the middle when cutting inside.

In the face of such a big gap, Wang Jie will not hesitate, and directly inserts the ball into the penalty area at high speed. The central defender behind the opponent, Matsusaka Nuan, had to meet him and block him.

When Matsuzaka Nuan rushed out of the penalty area, three or four meters away from him, Wang Jie sent a diagonal pass.

On the left side, Chen Pu, who had just run outside with the Japanese U16 central defender Yuta Guangjiu, heard Wang Jie's shout, and immediately made a sharp turn and threw Yuta Guangjiu behind, it was this urgent transfer Chen Pu who fell behind Yuta Guangjiu, Wang Jie's pass was not offside, and it was just on the line of Chen Pu facing the penalty area.

Chen Pu's speed was not fast, and when he brought out a few meters in the corner of the penalty area, Matsusaka Nuan had already rushed back, and Yuta Hikariya behind him kept squeezing him, preventing him from handling the ball comfortably.

Chen Pu stepped into the penalty area, Mitsuhisa Yong didn't dare to continue to collide, his hands were raised high, anyway, Matsusaka Nuan had already stuck the line that Chen Pu passed to Sono, and goalkeeper Rui Yamaguchi also blocked the near corner, he didn't want to collide again to give Chen Pu a chance to fake fall.

Chen Pu pushed the ball back and passed it to Wang Jie, who followed him, Wang Jie stabbed directly into the penalty area without adjustment, took the ball with Sono with his back, and immediately connected a pull ball to turn right, and then directly hit a half-empty goal, easily breaking the net.

This goal made the Japanese U16 backline very helpless, they did not obviously lose their position and leak people, but they broke through their defense line in the three runs and two passes in the front court of Jiangxia Qingyun, and there was nothing to say about each other.

Sono excitedly performed a series of three somersaults after his goal, but the last one did not jump high enough, and finally sat on the turf, drawing a burst of ridicule from his teammates who came to celebrate.

After the restart, as soon as the Japanese U16 passed back, Jiangxia Youth Games directly had 5 people rush through the half court and launched a scramble in the opponent's backfield.

Among them, the most energetic Sono, Fan Sheng and the fast Wang Jie are the main forces, Chen Puding drilled into the gap of the defender's flank in front, and was ready to cut off the ball and directly threaten the goal.

Su Wu is always stuck in the receiving line of Shuntaro Koga, the core of the Japanese U16 midfield, on the periphery, and the Japanese U16 backfield handler will see him first as soon as he looks up to Koga.

However, the technical skills of Japan's U16 made them not panic, but slowed down to let the Jiangxia players who grabbed it closer, as if they were waiting for Koga to retreat to receive the ball.

After the three backcourt players seemed to casually complete a three-person pass on the right, center and right, they suddenly passed the ball to Sai-Goddard in the Jiangxia backfield.

Sai Goddard was in the empty space behind Wang Jie, with his back to catch the ball.

But Wang Yu suddenly changed from a nonchalant state, Sai Goddard glanced back when Mitsukyu Yuta took the ball, and Wang Yu was still turning his head to communicate with central defender Sheikh. But when he was in position to receive the ball, he had already activated, went directly behind him, and stopped the ball with his chest.

This accident made the Japanese players unable to react, and Sai-Goddard's small body couldn't grab the ball behind Wang Yu at all, so Wang Yu easily handed the ball to Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi also uploaded with a big foot, and the ball flew back to the Japanese U16 backfield with a bang.

After the ball landed, it bounced off the ground quickly, and Chen Pu couldn't handle the ball comfortably under Matsusaka Nuan's squeeze resistance, so he had to use his chest to bounce up the football, and twisted his body with Matsusaka's strength, and pushed the ball to the right with his chest.

In this direction, Fan Shengzheng rushed over at high speed, directly met the ball and volleyed, and sent the football into the goal of Japan U16 again when others did not react.

This conceded goal made Japan U16 really unacceptable, obviously a good counterattack, but was caught off guard by Jiangxia Qingyun, and fell behind by two goals in less than 10 minutes after the opening...

"It's something that no coach could have predicted, and it's good for the players to just play the way they want."

Seeing that the start was very smooth, Lin Wenlei showed off to Niu Xiwen, Niu Xiwen didn't care if he was an afterthought, and added:

"The premise is that the players have solid basic skills and clear minds."

The coaches here were discussing, and the Jiangxia players on the court ignored the opponent's frustration, and ran to the backcourt to discuss the game.

After kick-off, the Japanese U16s were not so calm and relaxed, and they began to hesitate to play the ball, fearing that the ball would be cut off, and the formation shrank further and further backwards.

Their midfielders also had to recycle and rely on safe short balls to move the ball forward.

As a result, Japan's U16s were too far away in attack, lacking forward passing opportunities, and the long possession at the back became more and more anxious because time was not on their side.

However, after a dozen passes, they were able to control their emotions, and Shuntaro Koga's retreat to take the ball freed up the left and right midfielders.

In the siege of Fan Sheng and Meng Xinyan, Shuntaro Koga pulled the ball continuously in a small space, and finally shook Meng Xinyan away with a feint, and Meng Xinyan, who was not waiting to eat in the arc of the middle circle, turned around and handed a long-distance direct pass to Hariya Kitano outside the penalty area.

Center Haruka Kitano took the ball with Sheikh on his back, squeezed him firmly behind him, and then suddenly distributed it to Ryaya Itan, who responded.

Left midfielder Ryoza Itan faked a direct pass, handed the ball to the left back Matsui Ishima on the side, and the left back at the bottom faced the defense of Guiyang and handed the ball back to Ryya Iten, using these two passes to wait for the midfielder to press up.

Iten Ryoya passed back to Shuntaro Koga, but their receiver came up, and the players of the Jiangxia Youth Games also completed the defensive position.

Meng Xinyan retreated to the central defender position, coupled with Fan Sheng and Zheng Zhi, so that the Japanese U16 left pass and right delivery could not find a chance, and finally had to let Kitano Hariya pull back, wanting to play a two-one-one in the penalty area with Koga Shuntaro.

But Sheikh poked the ball away from the side of Kitano Hariya, and Zheng Zhi took the ball and passed it to Su Wu near the middle line.

Su Wu's dribbling was blocked by the back and swept directly to Su Wu's feet, and he ate a yellow card but avoided being beaten back again.

Inspired by this goal, Japan U16 added defensive rules to their defense, but their fouls were as bad as ever, and they were small and inconspicuous moves, pushing and grabbing, and they passed the first half.

In the second half, Zhou Duo replaced Chen Pu, which made Niu Xiwen a little worried:

"Chen Pu played very well in the first half... Will you feel emotional when you replace him?"

Lin Wenlei said disappreciatively:

"From the very beginning, we have positioned the competition as a test, even if it is a test, it is normal for a good performance to end early."

Wang Xinze introduced with a smile:

"Lin Jiao led the team to develop a habit for them early, not to mention whether the performance is good or bad, the players off the field can replace the players on the field to try if they have any ideas..."

These principles are all easy to understand, and the key is to establish habits and stick to them in the youth training at the beginning.

"The biggest premise is not to rush for quick success..."

Niu Xiwen summed it up after thinking about it.

In the second half, Zhou Duo's appearance made the Japanese Under-16s even more uncomfortable, with his short-range sprint speed and agile movement making it difficult for them to defend, and only a number of fouls could stop them.

And after Su Wu, who had a good free kick, scored another goal with several free kicks in front of Zhou Duo, Japan U16 was completely helpless. In addition, many people carried yellow cards, the action was restricted, and the defensive pressure was very high, and only the number of people in the backfield was used to fill the gap.

Towards the end, Su Wu performed a wonderful Marseille maneuver, and then plugged in, and Zhou Duo, who was inserted, shook past goalkeeper Rui Yamaguchi and scored an empty goal.

The full-court victory left Japan Under-16s speechless, especially when it came to their unique passing in Asia. After the game, he left the training center in a hurry.
