Chapter 83: Look down
After the side-picking ceremony, the players from both sides stood in their positions and the match was about to begin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As I said before, the competitions of the Chinese teenagers to challenge the youth teams are not closed, especially the match against the Barcelona youth team, which is located on the outdoor training ground in La Masia, which is next to the road and has no fence nearby, so you can forget it at a glance. There is also the Camp Nou next door, so if anyone wants to visit the Camp Nou, they can also see what's going on here.
It's a little farther away from the first team's training grounds, so there won't be too many people, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
In this game, there were some people on the sidelines of La Masia's training ground.
Some of them are parents of La Masia's youth B team players, and some are simply passing by and stopped to watch the excitement when they found a game.
Others ...... It's scouts from all over the world.
Some of them were supposed to observe the young players of La Masia, but they just happened to have a game.
Others came specifically for Chinese football teenagers, and the first of them to follow the Chinese team was Borussia Dortmund scout Tim Kitter, followed by scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and other teams.
And many of them observed Zhou Yi and He Ying.
He Ying is the top scorer of the Chinese team and has attracted attention as the person who can score goals. Zhou Yi is the team's assist king.
Only this time, when Tim Keyter watched the game from the sidelines, he was a little uneasy.
Although Zhou Yi has reached a franchise agreement with Dortmund, it is a gentleman's agreement, and there is nothing left on paper, it all depends on the mouths of both parties.
If Zhou Yi performs well in this game, he may also attract the attention of Barcelona.
The competition of other teams, Keist doesn't care very much. But if Barcelona join the fray, things change.
If Zhou Yi hadn't resisted Barcelona's offensive, there seemed to be nothing he could do about it.
You must know that Barcelona does not spare any money to recruit talent. At the time, Messi suffered from dwarfism and was considered unfit to play football. Barcelona not only paid for Messi's medical treatment, but also brought Messi's family to Barcelona, gave Messi's father a job, and bought a house for their family in Barcelona.
This shows how much they attach importance to talents.
If they also came up with similar conditions to solicit Zhou Yi...... Can Zhou Yi withstand it?
After all, Dortmund did not promise that as long as Zhou Yi came to Dortmund, the Dortmund club would solve the problem of Zhou Yi's family coming to Germany, buy a house for them in Germany, arrange jobs for Zhou Yi's parents, and if Zhou Yi still has brothers and sisters, their work or study can also be solved......
So Kister is now conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he hopes that Zhou Yi will perform well, prove his vision with practical actions, and prove that Dortmund did not choose the wrong person.
But on the other hand, he doesn't want Zhou Yi to perform too well, if it is too good, it will attract the attention of more teams, especially to attract the behemoth of Barcelona, the competition is fierce, the temptation is increasing, and Zhou Yi can ask for a sky-high price.
Among those scouts is Alan Powell, the Arsenal scout who was supposed to have left Barcelona. After all, the door to the introduction of Zhou Yi has been closed.
But he still wanted to hold on. He wants to watch Zhou Yi's game one last time, and if he is still performing well and can afford to be at odds with Barcelona's youth team, he wants to send the footage of the game back to the club and finally try to see if the club can bring in the midfield talent.
After all, Powell has been observing the game since the Chinese team against the Chelsea youth team, and he knows Zhou Yi's ability very well. It would be a shame if such a brilliant player could not be brought in because of the dogmatism of the club.
In addition to these people, on the Barcelona side, La Masia's technical director Garcia was also on hand to watch the match.
There were dozens of people gathered on the edge of the small training ground, which was already the largest live crowd for Chinese teenagers in two months in Europe.
And just like that, the game began with so many people watching.
※※※
La Masia won the right to pick the edge, so the tee off fell to the Chinese teenagers.
After the whistle blew, He Ying passed the football to Zhang Tao, who turned around and passed the football to Zhou Yi outside the middle circle.
After Zhou Yi got the ball, he didn't rush to pass the football again, but turned around and brought it back.
After the formation dispersed, he passed the football back to central defender Guo Nu.
While Guo Nu received the ball, Zhou Yi was shouting: "Pass the ball to Li Liang!"
When Guo Nu heard this, he passed the football over.
When Li Liang received the ball, the players of the La Masia Youth B team had basically rushed up, and Zhou Yi asked Li Liang to pass the football to himself.
When Zhou Yi received the ball, the players of La Masia's youth B team did not even come up to defend him.
It can be seen that they have not studied the opponent of this game at all.
From the players to the coaches, they may feel that for a team that has been beaten by them 12-0, there is no value in research, you can win by playing casually, and you don't need to deliberately arrange any tactics.
If you also study the opponent and watch the video of the game, it will be too much of a fuss.
Therefore, they missed the opportunity to learn about this team, and naturally they would not give Zhou Yi any special treatment.
When Zhou Yi got the ball, the players of the La Masia Youth B team were watching from a distance, and they didn't come up to force the grab, Zhou Yi could calmly catch the ball and turn around.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi smiled - he really looked down on us.
But well, I hope you look down on us.
Someone in the audience also shook their heads after seeing this scene.
If Zhou Yi is not closely guarded against forced robbery...... Maybe La Masia will have to suffer a little bit in this game?
Zhou Yi saw that no one came up to force him, so he simply went straight forward with the ball.
It wasn't until he was about to take to the center circle that someone came up to defend him.
This person is easy to know, because he has played against him many times in the system, called Bacari Mendes, a midfielder who is versatile and can attack and defend. But the last time the two sides met, he wasn't there because he was still a member of the Under-16s and was called up for this game.
Zhou Yi knew very well the characteristics of this person's football, so he didn't fight with him, and when he saw him coming up, he passed the football out.
passed to Yang Muge, who received him next to him.
Yang Muge is a midfielder, responsible for defense, but when the team is attacking, he is responsible for receiving Zhou Yi and making a wall for Zhou Yi.
When Zhou Yi couldn't find a good point to play when the opponent was pressing, he could pass the football to Yang Muge, who was closest to him, and then run to get rid of the defense by himself, and then receive the ball from Yang Muge.
This mode has been played very skillfully by the Chinese team in the previous games. In other words, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge have cooperated very skillfully.
If La Masia had seen the footage of their game, they would have been wary of it.
But when Yang Muge got the ball, no one on the side of La Masia's youth B team went up to force it, they just stood in front of Yang Muge to prevent him from breaking through with the ball, and they didn't care much about his pass.
Maybe they think that when it comes to passing ability, the team in front of them is 108,000 miles away from the people they came out of La Masia. So if they want to pass the ball, let them pass.
※※※
The game had just started for less than a minute, and with only the two pictures showing now, Hao Dong knew that the opponent must be a light enemy.
But that's normal, and no one would value an opponent who had lost 12-0 to them before.
Of course, this kind of contempt will not make people feel comfortable, but Hao Dong and Zhou Yi have the same idea, hoping that the other party will look down on them more and despise the enemy a little more.
In that case, the Chinese team will have a chance.
※※※
Yang Muge took the ball, and Zhou Yi continued to push forward.
Yang Muge saw that Zhou Yi got rid of the defense, so he passed the football over.
Zhou Yi received the ball again, he had already crossed the middle line, and the youth team players of La Masia, who had been rushing to grab the ball before, saw that they had not grabbed the ball and began to defend back.
But their return defense speed is not fast, belongs to the kind of people who are in the back defense, but the heart is in the offensive state, ready to fight back at any time, if the back defense is too deep, when the counterattack is not up, so they also leave three points of defense.
Zhou Yi knows that this time is not the time to transfer slowly, but to be decisive and straight. Although the risk of direct transmission is very high, as long as you succeed at this time, you can reap high rewards.
So he adjusted the ball and pretended to split the ball to the side, but when he passed the ball, his body twisted and pushed the ball directly into the rib space between the two La Masia Youth B defenders!
He Ying suddenly started to step forward, intending to receive Zhou Yi's straight ball.
He's a little late, though, and someone reacts faster than he does!
La Masia's youth B team started this game with central defender Mark Munesa!
He fell directly to the ground and tackled, poked Zhou Yi's through ball out with his toes, and the football flew out of the sideline, He Ying was almost annoyed, but he didn't give Zhou Yi a thumbs up, indicating that he passed the ball beautifully.
Zhou Yi's attention was not on He Ying's thumb, but on Munesa.
Although the centre-back is a year younger than himself, he reacted really quickly.
He didn't dare to push too this through ball in order to be able to catch He Ying, and as a result, Munesa got the opportunity to clear the ball......
The gap was still not big enough, and the ball he passed was not far from Muniesa, which gave Munesa the opportunity to make a tackle.
But that's the through ball, and of course the through ball can create a lethal chance in the game, but why don't you just use the through ball? Because the risk of the through ball is also very high, the success rate is not high, and it is easy to make mistakes. So when to take risks and when to be conservative in the game is a test of a player's ability or even a team's ability.
When it's time to take a risk, don't hesitate, don't look ahead for fear of making a mistake or conceding a goal, you might miss a great chance to score.
And when it is time to be safe, you must not hand over the ball easily, you must be patient and meticulous, safe and reliable, and foolproof.
※※※
Off the field, the Chinese team saw that Zhou Yi's through ball was blocked by Munesa on tiptoe, and they all let out a sigh of regret.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd of parents of La Masia's youth B team.
Others were shouting: "Little Puyol!"
This is the nickname of Munessa, as the captain of Barcelona's echelons at all levels, Marc Munesa is very talented and high-profile, and everyone is optimistic that he will be promoted to the first team in the future, and then take over from Puyol, who is now the captain of Barcelona's first team.
※※※
He Ying was still very annoyed that he didn't receive this ball, he knew that Zhou Yi wanted to take advantage of the start of the game when the other party hadn't paid attention to them, so he launched a fast attack to try to score and take the lead.
So this offensive opportunity is very valuable. If you don't succeed and attract the attention of the other party, then it's troublesome.
But Zhou Yi raised his hand and shouted to He Ying and the other teammates: "It's okay, let's come again!"
When this attack didn't succeed, he immediately spoke out to comfort and encourage his teammates, so it seemed that he was more like a captain than He Ying......

PS, I went to play a game last night, which was the first time I played football in a year after playing once in Beijing.
As a goalkeeper, I stayed on the pitch under the rule of conceding a goal and leaving the pitch, no matter if there was a red, blue or yellow teammate standing in front of me!
(It's just that my back hurts...... You want to exercise...... )
For the sake of my low back pain, can you give some recommendation votes for comfort?
