Wilshere's opponent is naturally Zhou Yi.

Arsenal's youth team initially thought they would be able to easily snatch the ball from the feet of this group of Chinese teenagers and then attack.

But the reality is that when the Chinese team has the ball in the midfield, they are not so easy to steal their ball.

The football passed at the feet of the Chinese players, and sometimes even a continuous pass without pause.

Although it was a backward foot, it made the players of the Arsenal youth team feel a little tired.

Wilshire is among them.

Although he is an offensive player and is not good at defending, it is normal for him to go up and grab the ball against a team that is much weaker than him. But after a few grabs, he found that he couldn't grab the ball, and the football was passed around him......

Wilshere, who was a little out of breath, stopped the stupid move after the fifteenth minute.

To be honest, this feeling should be given to their opponents.

Arsenal's football philosophy is to pass and run, and passing, especially between two or three people in a small area, is the essence of passing.

So in the past, their opponents were exhausted by their passes, when did they get so done by their opponents?

Wilshire began to think hard about it.

Soon he set his sights on the Chinese team's No. 16.

He could see that this person was the core of the Chinese team's midfield, because the football was all going to him and it was all passed out by him.

It is not so much that the Chinese team is tired of mobilizing the players of the Arsenal youth team, but that this person is mobilizing everyone.

He used the pass to give orders, kept the Chinese players running around the pitch, and also made the Arsenal youth players run around, like marionettes in his hands.

And all of this is achieved by the most basic of his actions, such as passing and running.

There is such a powerful figure in the Chinese team?

Is this a mysterious master from mysterious China?

"Zhou Yi's performance is really outstanding, thanks to him, we are now on a par with Arsenal on the field!" Assistant coach Xu Yang sat on the sidelines and sighed. The words "thanks to him" were all said, which shows that Xu Yang made no secret of his appreciation and praise for Zhou Yi.

Hao Dong was also satisfied with Zhou Yi's performance, but at the same time he was a little worried: "You can't be happy too early, Xu Zhi." Zhou Yi's physical fitness is a big problem, and after the last game, he hasn't recovered yet. ”

Hearing this, the excited look on Xu Yang's face really subsided a lot, and then he sighed: "Alas, it would be nice if this kid had been trained in the professional echelon since he was a child......

"That's hard to say, Xu Zhi. You don't know what our domestic requirements are for the physical fitness of players. I think that with this kid's physical fitness, I'm afraid he won't even be able to run for 12 minutes, and there won't be a few youth team coaches who can take a fancy to him. In that case, maybe he had already lost his interest in football, but now it was good, he was sprouting and growing silently in a place that none of us noticed, and was not polluted by all that nonsense, and by the time we saw him, he had blossomed for us to admire. How wonderful. ”

"That being said, I still hope he can perform better, he has such talent, he should be seen by more people, and the flowers should bloom more beautifully. ”

"Take your time, Xu Zhi. He is only seventeen years old, his physical strength can be trained, and his strength can be enhanced by training, but his ...... here," Hao Dong pointed to his brain, "It is an innate talent. He was already luckier than 99 percent of the people. At least he came to participate in our show, so many people all over China signed up for the audition, and in the end, he was selected alone. If I hadn't been the judge for the final finals, maybe he would have been eliminated?"

Speaking of this, Hao Dong suddenly smiled.

Because he thought that Zhou Yi fell asleep on the bench in such an important finals!

This kid...... In addition to a smart brain, maybe you were born with a big heart!

※※※

Hao Dong's worries are correct, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is not good, this is not a secret within the team, he played the whole game against Dortmund, played the whole game in the first game, and performed very hard, which brought a lot of burden to his body.

Although it was the fifth day since the last game, Zhou Yi's physical fitness did not return to his best condition.

In fact, even at his best, it was difficult for him to hold on to the next whole game.

In the last game, it was because Hao Dong had no one to replace, so he could only let Zhou Yi persist on the field, and he also said that he could play to what extent he could play under the condition of physical exhaustion. Although Zhou Yi really surprised everyone with a goal in the end, this is not a long-term way after all.

Besides, Zhou Yi's style of play actually requires the ability to run, because he must keep looking for a vacancy on the court, looking for a vacancy is not good with his eyes, he must use his legs, and he has to run over to find it, otherwise it is useless to just see it.

He had to keep running on the pitch, from one empty to the next.

Even if this kind of run is not a sprint run, it is estimated that you have to run more than 10,000 meters after 90 minutes of running.

And Zhou Yi participates in campus football in school, playing as a striker, and does not need so much running, maybe after a 90-minute game, he can run two kilometers at most to be considered diligent - you know, the average running distance of players in the Chinese Super League in the Chinese Professional Football League is only about 7,000 meters per game, and some players even run more than 3,000 meters in a game. In the current domestic football scene in China, there are only a handful of players who can run an average of 10,000 meters per game.

With Zhou Yi's current physical fitness, it is indeed difficult to support it for too long. In fact, not only Zhou Yi, other players have also encountered physical problems to a greater or lesser extent, but their performance is not as obvious as Zhou Yi, there are many reasons for this, such as they are experienced and know how to use physical energy, and for example, some people are lazy in the game, they can stand still and never walk, and they don't run if they can walk......

Only Zhou Yi is constantly moving, so his physical consumption is more.

After 30 minutes, China's control in midfield began to plummet, and the Arsenal youth team was finally able to control the absolute upper hand.

And with that, their offensive threat arises.

Sun Pan picked up high and low blocks, desperately trying to stop Arsenal's attack, and Guo Nu also received a yellow card at the end of the first half.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in front of the Chinese team.

Hao Dong also got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, he looked down at the watch on his wrist, it had been forty minutes in the first half.

Then he raised his head and stared nervously at the field.

When the team was suppressed by Arsenal, Zhou Yi disappeared on the field, he really couldn't play any role in defense, once he had no physical fitness, he would be weak in attack.

Hao Dong pursed his lips, although he was not very willing, he could only replace him at halftime......

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 0:0.

It was a result that was hard for the Arsenal youth players to accept, and they couldn't believe they couldn't score in the first half!

You know, they thought they could have ended the game in the first half......

In stark contrast to them were the Chinese players, who ended the first half 0-0 and made them happy.

After all, in the last fifteen minutes of the first half, they were completely beaten by the Arsenal youth team, and they were lucky not to concede a goal.

It was a draw with no goals conceded!

So when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, some Chinese players were still clenching their fists and waving excitedly, and everyone was celebrating this first half.

Only Zhou Yi stood still and did not move, neither walked down the field nor celebrated.

He stood motionless with his hands down and his back slightly hunched.

Yang Muge came over and grabbed Zhou Yi's arms and shoulders: "It's okay, right?"

Zhou Yi turned around and smiled at him, but he didn't speak, because he didn't have the strength to speak. He was so tired that he wanted to stand here, and every step felt like he was going to empty all the remaining strength in his body.

Yang Muge could see that Zhou Yi was too tired to walk, so he grabbed Zhou Yi and walked towards the sidelines.

Sun Pan also ran over from the door and asked with concern, "Cramps?"

Zhou Yi didn't have the strength to speak, just shook his head.

"I think I'm just tired. Yang Muge speculated.

Zhou Yi nodded.

"I'm coming!" Sun Pan took over Zhou Yi from Yang Mu singer, his height and physique of nearly one meter nine helped Zhou Yi to walk, it was like grabbing a chicken.

In the dressing room, Arsenal youth head coach, Steve Balder, was unhappy with his team's performance in the first half.

"You're Arsenal! Even though you're not yet 18 years old, you're wearing an Arsenal shirt, and the first thing people think of when they see this shirt is not that you're a youth team, it's just 'Ah, this is Arsenal'! We didn't even score a goal in the first half, it's unbelievable! Boys, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Everyone lowered their heads when they were scolded by the head coach, in fact, even if the head coach didn't scold them, they didn't feel good.

In this first half, it was really not a good game.

Everyone is secretly working hard in their hearts, they must score more goals in the second half, and they must wash away this shame with a hearty victory!

At the same time, in the locker room of the Chinese team, Hao Dong was making personnel arrangements for the second half, and he replaced Zhou Yi, who was physically exhausted.

Everyone could see at a glance that it was impossible for Zhou Yi to insist on playing this game.

Liang Qiqi was secretly very proud--of course he didn't dare to show this emotion--he didn't expect Zhou Yi to only hold on to half the court, so there were still forty-five minutes left for himself, and he had to seize the opportunity of these forty-five minutes to show himself well.

Use practical actions to regain your own starting position!
