Chapter 18: The first game of the first team

Cesar shrugged: "Looks like we're early, Coach Alfred should be here right away." ”

As they spoke, the group walked out of the players' tunnel on the other side.

At the head of the list, it was the first team manager Alfred.

Seeing a group of players behind Alfred, Chen Ting couldn't help but pay attention to it.

In them, Chen Ting saw a very sophisticated temperament.

This is something that the players in the youth team do not have.

Among them, there is no one Chen Ting knows, only the Milo that Cesar said, Chen Ting can barely recognize it.

Because he is not very old, he is just nineteen years old this year.

Relatively young in the first team.

Chen Ting looked at the players in the first team, and these players also saw Chen Ting.

They all showed curious eyes.

"Who's that guy? He looks very young, how did he come to the training base of the first team? ”

"Hahaha, it can't be a newcomer who has gone the wrong way!"

"No, Cesar is next to him, maybe he just came up from the youth team!"

Milo in the team saw Chen Ting, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was the youngest player in the first team but held the starting position on his own.

It's a manifestation of talent.

Chen Ting looked younger than him, so it would naturally attract his attention.

Although he was curious, no one came over to talk to Chen Ting.

In the world of football, the strong are respected.

No one will care about you until you show enough strength.

Alfred arranged for the other players to train first, and came to Chen Ting alone.

"I didn't expect you to come here so early."

Cesar replied: "Coach Alfred, Chen Ting said that he didn't want to miss the morning training session, so I brought him over in advance. ”

Alfred nodded, obviously satisfied with the enthusiasm Chen Ting had shown.

"Join the team, Chen Ting, the training will start soon."

Chen Ting nodded lightly, walked with cheerful steps, and boarded the training ground.

Alfred raised his hand and the players stopped training and looked at him.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is a new member of our first team, his name is Chen Ting, a kid from the Dragon Kingdom."

'Take my words to heart, don't try to bully him, give him a little more help, it will speed up his integration into the team.'

Hearing Alfred's words, the players of the first team nodded one after another, and looked at Chen Ting with more attention in their eyes.

Those who can be taken care of by the coach either have some relationship with the coach.

Or a very talented player.

No matter what kind of situation Chen Ting is, they need to pay attention to it.

……

After a brief familiarization, the training session officially begins.

Alfred picked up the training plan in his hand and said:

"Today's training is the same, first speed and strength, and then a match."

"Alright, let's go warm up first!"

As Alfred's words fell, more than two dozen players dispersed and began warm-up activities.

Despite the team's current poor results, these players are obedient to Alfred's words.

Poor grades mean relegation.

If you downgrade, not only will your salary be significantly reduced, but you will also kill your career dreams.

So they all held their breath and wanted to win a few games and escape the relegation zone.

The training for the first team is not much different from that of the youth team, except that the time for each subject is slightly longer.

After the strengthening of genetic evolution agents and the exercise during this period of time, Chen Ting's physical fitness has improved a lot.

It's easy to keep up with the pace of training with other teammates.

After the warm-up, the assistant coaches had already set up the training equipment.

Next, there is training in agility and coordination.

……

An hour later, manager Alfred blew the whistle to bring the players together.

"That's all for today's training, go get the detachment vest and prepare for the training match."

Alfred took out the list and read out the names according to the pre-arranged lineup.

All players are divided into red and yellow teams.

Under Alfred's deliberate arrangement, Chen Ting and Milo were placed in a group, both on the red team.

He wanted to see if the two people he valued the most could collide with some sparks.

If you can, you can form a strong forward line and strengthen the team's attacking ability.

After the detachment, the training match began quickly.

Both players fielded a balanced lineup of 433.

Chen Ting, who had just arrived in the first team, was placed on the bench by Alfred.

Sitting with him was the team's second goalkeeper and a defender.

Chen Ting understands this arrangement.

It's a newcomer to the first team, so it's never too late to play.

After the start of the game, the players of both sides kept running on the field, and the rhythm of attack and defense kept changing.

Every player is working hard and has little to no free time.

It's either instigating an offensive or organizing a defense.

The two sides played back and forth, and the intensity of the game was more than a notch higher than that of the youth team.

Whether it is teamwork or individual ability, it is not comparable to the players of the youth team.

Watching their game, Chen Ting felt a feeling in his heart, if the U17 youth team played against the first team, he was afraid that at least five goals would be scored.

What's more, such a strong Montpellier first team is only the bottom third in the entire Ligue 1.

It is foreseeable how terrifying the strength of other strong teams will be.

……

The game lasted more than ten minutes, and under the tenacious defense of players on both sides, there was no goal.

It wasn't until the twenty-fifth minute that the first goal came in.

RED's Milo received a pass from a team-mate near the centre circle and drove straight in.

Take advantage of your individual ability to take the ball to the penalty area.

Faced with the Yellow team's three-man pack, Milo passed the ball to a teammate who cut in on the left.

After forming a wall-to-wall connection with his teammates, Milo got the ball again.

Get up and shoot at goal.

The ball went in.

The red team leads 1-0.

Looking at Milo, who had just scored, Chen Ting's eyes flashed with expectation.

Is this the quality of the first team?

It was a truly brilliant goal.

Chen Ting is looking forward to the moment when he comes on the court and can fight side by side with such teammates.

With Milo's goal, the first half ended quickly.

At the beginning of the second half, the yellow team sounded the horn of a counterattack.

They took advantage of the height advantage of the center forward, constantly passing the ball to the middle, hoping to use it as a breakthrough.

In the tenth minute of the second half, they found their chance.

In a quick counter-attack, one of the Yellow midfielders picked up the ball near the halfway line on the right.

A big kick moves the ball to the left.

The left winger breaks through with the ball and crosses with his feet close to the baseline.

The big center in front of the goal grabbed the first landing point.

Header hammer strikes.

1:1 equaliser.

After the two sides were tied, Alfred looked at Chen Ting.

"Chen, you go warm up and play in five minutes."
