Four days later.

Look back on the British Peninsula, in the Newcastle Under-18 academy.

Since the next day is the first game of the new youth league season.

After training today, head coach Lens left all his players on the pitch and did not let them go back to the dormitory for the time being.

He has to determine an 18-man squad based on the form of all the players on those days, so that the selected players are ready.

"Tomorrow, the first game of the new season, Liverpool."

Lens swept his gaze over the faces of all the players before continuing: "I'll announce the squad first. ”

As the words fell, most of the Newcastle United players had a look of nervousness and anticipation on their faces, and only a few who were sure to be selected or would not be selected were expressionless.

"Olawela, Philip, Simpson...... Taylor...... Davis, Mins ......"

Soon, Lens had finished reading fifteen names without suspense.

There are still three places left, which deepens the nervousness in the eyes of some Newcastle players.

Many people also looked left and right at this time, looking for potential threats, and someone's eyes fell on Lu Chenfeng's face.

This player from Huaxia left a deep impression on everyone in the first game of the new season!

But in the daily training of the next few days, his performance seemed to be a little mediocre, and he did not have the dominance of that day.

Of course, this mediocrity absolutely has to be removed from heading training.

In header training, this young man still maintains super efficiency and stability!

The whole team went up and down, and no one could take advantage of him in the header duel!

The super high starting height, the super accurate ball path judgment, and the powerful and powerful shots made all the central defenders in the team miserable during this time!

This kind of performance also gave Newcastle manager Lens and all the players a bottom in their hearts.

This player, with other mediocre technical abilities, may be at a mediocre level among his peers.

But only a stunning header gives him the attributes of a miracle soldier.

Whether or not he can be selected for the game squad today depends on the arrangement of head coach Lens......

"The last three, Orwell, Viette...... As well as the wind! ”

Finally, Lens read out the entire roster of candidates.

The last one is none other than Lu Chenfeng!

The disappointment on the faces of the players who were not selected for the squad was palpable.

Many people also set their sights on Lu Chenfeng, who snatched the last place.

In fact, after these two days of training, some of them were still a little dissatisfied with Lu Chenfeng's selection into the squad at this time.

In their eyes, such a player who can only head the ball to play as a substitute is far less than a more comprehensive substitute like theirs.

But it was precisely because Lu Chenfeng had a header that shocked the four people, and they couldn't say anything, so they could only admit the result.

It seems that this week is another day of widowhood in the team dormitory......

It's not too bad to sit on the bench and watch the water cooler, but what's even more fucking up is that you can't even get into the game squad.

"All of the above are ready."

After reading the list of games, Lens looked around and said: "Liverpool finished third in the league last season, and they are strong. ”

"Our goal tomorrow is to win and hopefully everyone can give their best on the pitch."

"Okay, go back early to rest and get off training!"

……

Next.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Sunny Newcastle Under-18s in the field.

Hundreds of fans from the British Peninsula poured in one after another.

Their faces were full of relaxed smiles, and most of them were holding beer and popcorn in their hands, chatting with their friends.

With the first team in the Premier League the next day, drinking a beer a day earlier and watching a youth league game of the youth team is also a good way for these English uncles to have a pastime.

Anyway, there is no pressure on the youth team in the league team, as long as the first team stays in the Premier League, the youth team will always be able to play against the youth team in the Premier League.

Under this relaxed format, if you can occasionally see a few new stars who play well, it will also make these uncles feel a sense of surprise.

It can be regarded as adding a little expectation to their ordinary life, looking forward to their own team being able to produce a supernova in a few years!

"Under-18s, this is the oldest academy reserve in the development team, and I hope I can see a few highlights in the new season."

'I've been following the official news from the team and the Under-18s have made five new signings this season.

"Five people? Isn't that something to look forward to? ”

"No, no, no, two of them are Asian players from the football desert in China, which shows that the quality of this recruitment is not high, and you can't expect too much."

"Whatever, anyway, I just hope that one or two people here will wear the jerseys of the Magpies in the first team in the future and attack the city for the first team!"

"I heard that one of the Asian players was also selected for the tournament?"

"Who knows what Lens will arrange, that damn German."

“……”

Sitting on the benches around the court, these British Peninsula uncles chatted casually.

Some of them already had a little red on their faces, as if they were a little overwhelmed.

But in a country where the football atmosphere is so hot.

On the weekend, it is indeed a beautiful thing to meet up with three or five friends, hold a few beers, and watch a young people's energetic game up close.

This is something that fans in some countries can't envy.

And in the corner of the court.

Several uncles with more serious expressions and most of them holding notebooks in their hands showed a temperament different from ordinary fans.

They are the people who travel around the youth teams all year round, trying to find one or two talented youngsters for their home team.

Scouting!

"Stuttgartes? What are you doing in the UK to watch the game? Could it be that no one has come out of the youth training in Germany in recent years? ”

A native scout of the British Peninsula couldn't help but scoff after seeing the Stuttgart logo on the brim of a scout's hat.

"In Germany, it's not uncommon to see you scouts from England."

The Stuttgart scout sneered and said, "Everybody's just for the good players." ”

The British scout snorted coldly and turned his head, not saying anything more.

Several other club scouts looked at the two bickering without the slightest look of surprise.

Everyone is in a competitive relationship, and this kind of bickering is simply too normal.

Especially if it's for a talented player with great talent!

Today, for example, several scouts arrived here with just one goal.

Liverpool Prince, Alexander-Arnold!
