Chapter Seventy-Three: The Golden Generation 5
Lin Sen knew all too well what the flow of color meant. Because of similar things, Lin Sen has seen it too many times in his past coaching career.
Lewandowski, Reus, Di Maria, Bale...... No one knows, but it doesn't mean that it hasn't happened, and the names that fans are already familiar with now have been under Lin Sen's nose, and similar transformations have occurred step by step. It was precisely because of this that Lin Sen was so surprised when he found out that there was a young man who was undergoing a similar transformation here and now.
Who is that person?
Two surprises in Bonaire's mouth, he is one of them?
Lin Sen suppressed the curiosity in his heart and forced his gaze to leave the young man and turn to the other team members. It's just that although he was aroused by this young man's unrealistic expectations, in the end, except for Xiao Zhixing, he still failed to find a team member who could make him shine again.
At this point, the two teams on the field have already taken their positions.
After all, the training match was not an official match, there were not so many procedures to go through, and Bonaire himself acted as the referee of the match, and with his whistle, the first game began.
The first game was played by Team A against Team B, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when it came to the group, Bonaire put Stam, Francis and Xiao Zhixing, who had just entered temporarily, into three teams, which also formed a situation where two players who were focused on by the coaching staff played against each other in each game.
After the game began, there was little suspense, and Lin Sen's eyes were quickly attracted by the key players of both sides, of course, it cannot be ruled out that Lin Sen was preconceived in it, but it must be admitted that the performance of the two players on both sides was too conspicuous. The one on team A is most likely the big man in Stam, and Xiao Zhixing in team B.
Other words. In addition to the young man who just aroused Lin Sen's interest was placed in the C team, the first game was a duel between Stamm and Xiao Zhixing, two "friends" who had just met each other.
The game was played in an open and intense manner.
The reason for the opening is that two teams that are not very tacit and naturally cannot have too much subtle cooperation, so when there is a choice, basically the vast majority of the players choose to show their abilities as much as possible, hoping to attract the attention of the coaching staff, especially the person sitting on the sidelines at this time.
And the fierce reason. It's even simpler, whoever wants to get the attention of the coaching staff is bound to do so on the basis of someone else as a stepping stone.
So, it's a training match, but for the players on the field, it's actually a knockout game. And in this knockout round, the most unhurried belong to Stam and Xiao Zhixing.
The former basically does not participate in the attack much, but is very "safe" in his own half. But few of the B team players have been able to get past him head-on, and the latter doesn't seem to have stepped into the role yet, with almost every touch of the ball in midfield that could easily be mistaken for a lack of heart at first. But as the game progressed, he rarely made mistakes, and, in the opinion of Lin Sen outside the court. Every pass of Xiao Zhixing is actually extremely reasonable.
Due to the position, there are not many opportunities for Stam and Xiao Zhixing to meet. The few encounters did not involve Mars hitting the Earth, but almost every time it was a fluttering "farewell".
The 30-minute game lasted more than 20 minutes, and the two sides were stunned to score 0-0.
Just when many thought the game would end 0-0, the situation suddenly changed on the field.
First, Team A won a corner, and Stam, who was almost dead in the second half, appeared in the opponent's half for the first time, and then smashed his own corner kick into the opponent's goal in a way that was almost overwhelming, and the score was exceeded for Team A. Immediately afterwards, before Team A was happy for long, Xiao Zhixing, who relied on a free kick won by Team B in the front court, and didn't know what to say, actually got the right to take a free kick from Team B, and used an arc that amazed the whole court to help Team B equalize.
The first game ended 1-1, and then, after just a five-minute break, the second game continued. This time, it's Team A vs. Team C.
Stamm, confronting the young man who was suspected to be Francis.
And less than a minute into the game, Lin Sen completely took out the "suspicion", because he was very sure that the young man who aroused his interest was the Francis in Bonaire's mouth. Because, just a breakthrough, Francis has already fully demonstrated his "weirdness".
People often describe a person's dribbling skills as if the ball is glued to their feet, and even better than this is probably the fact that the ball seems to be a part of his body. And now, it is not too much to put such praise on the body of Francis in front of him, although Francis's combination of man and ball makes people look so weird.
When breaking through, Francis's body seems to be tilted, of course, the player's center of gravity will be shifted when breaking through, and the tilt of the body is inevitable, but the strange thing is that Francis's center of gravity has not been right at all, he seems to be always in an inclined state, and such a state will make the defender very uncomfortable, because you can't judge his center of gravity to judge the direction of his breakthrough.
Plus, this guy's speed is really fast!
To onlookers, the defenders of Team A were in front of him as if they were a stake that couldn't move, and he almost easily let him burst through.
There is such a breakthrough in the existence of a strange existence, although the players of the C team do not deliberately complete Francis, but this still can't change the trend of this game becoming his personal show, 30 minutes of the game played, Team A lost 0-2, and the two goals, both from Francis's assist. Of course, it's worth mentioning that Francis wasn't invincible either, having his breakthrough stopped twice in this short contest.
Both times from Stam.
One time it was Stam who jammed him, and the other time Stam used a physical collision that was somewhere between a foul and no foul.
Then came the third game.
If the first two games can be regarded as a battle between spear and shield, then the third game is undoubtedly a confrontation between the tip of the needle and the maimang.
Team A still has a Stam who can hinder Francis a little, while Team B has no one to stop except for fouls. The same principle can also be applied to Team C's against Xiao Zhixing, although Xiao Zhixing does not have such a weird and sharp breakthrough as Francis, but his scheduling in the midfield can give full play to his team's attacking power.
Half an hour of play was played, and the two sides were tied at 3-4.
Francis, with one goal and two assists, dominated almost all of Team C's offensive, while Xiao Zhixing failed to repeat the previous free kick goal, but he delivered three assists, which can almost be said to have single-handedly created Team B's victory.
After three games, Bonaire, who served as the referee, immediately let the players rest on the spot, and then couldn't wait to walk quickly to Lin Sen on the sidelines.
"I have nothing more to say." Before he arrived in front of Lin Sen, Bonaire had already raised his hands, but his face was full of excitement.
There is nothing more exciting than discovering a talent on the pitch to a coach who has dedicated his life to youth work, Bonaire thought that Stam and Francis were enough to make him proud, but he did not expect that a young man brought by Linson "at random" could surprise him so much.
When he first saw Xiao Zhixing, Bonaire almost did not hide that he did not like him, not because he discriminated against Orientals, the Premier League has no shortage of players from the Far East, South Korea's Park Ji-sung, China's Sun Jihai and Japan's Shinji Kagawa have all proved that they are capable of establishing themselves in the top league, but this is just an example after all.
Xiao Zhixing looks very modest, which is an advantage, but on the football field, modesty is not a quality that football needs, so how much ability can a student who has never received systematic training have?
However, in two games and an hour, Xiao Zhixing proved what Lin Sen said to him with his actions.
Xiao Zhixing, who is not as good as Stam in terms of body and technology as Francis, seems to want nothing at first glance, but he has completely become the core figure of this improvised team, and the meaning of the two words "core" has been brought into full play. In three games, the two teams led by Stam and Francis lost one, and only the team led by Xiao Zhixing won one and lost one, undefeated.
It's true that the purpose of training matches is to look at the players and the result doesn't matter. However, if a player can prove his worth by winning or losing a match, it is undoubtedly a more convincing way to prove himself.
Regarding Bonaire's words, Lin Sen smiled and didn't answer, if Xiao Zhixing couldn't even impress Bonaire's, then how could he let Lin Sen go to great lengths to bring it here? It can't really rely on that Chinese face.
"That young man, is that what you call Francis?"
Even though he was almost certain that he was Francis, Linson asked.
Bonaire nodded, "How's that?" Kind of a surprise, right? ”
"Of course." Lin Sen also nodded, and then asked, "However, is there a problem with his legs?" ”
"Yes." Bonaire was clearly not surprised by Linson's problem, "He was born with an outward left foot and an introverted right foot, and to put it bluntly, a little deformed. Normally, with his conditions, let alone playing football, even walking may be more difficult, but God knows, you have also seen it, he is a genius, don't you think he is very much like a person? ”
Lin Sen nodded, it's not just like! (To be continued......)
