Chapter 13: The first team manager watches from the sidelines! Against Arsenal!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another four days have passed.
Weekend.
A new round of the U18 youth league is coming.
Newcastle is an away game and will need to travel by team bus to the away game.
As the players got on the bus one after another, a man in an English gentleman's jacket caught everyone's attention.
"First team manager?"
"Mr. John Carver!"
"What is he going to do, is this game going to be watched together away from home?"
"You have to play well in this game, you have to perform well."
When the players found out that it was the first-team manager, there was a clear excitement in their eyes.
What do the Under-18s think all day?
Of course, to be promoted to the first team and really stand on the field of the Premier League!
Therefore, this kind of game that the head coach specially came to watch is particularly important.
It's the best way for them to show what they're capable of!
Lu Chenfeng also noticed the man who was extremely gentlemanly.
Like the other players, the meaning of this game to him has changed at this moment.
But compared to others, he has more confidence in his heart.
Because in the past week, head coach Lens has fulfilled his promise and really tailored a set of tactics for him!
A lot of players who originally had a starting position were delegated, and some players with excellent crossing ability and excellent midfield interception and sweeping ability were promoted.
This indicates a signal.
The next Newcastle U18 is a sweeping team that doesn't want to have possession!
There is only one way to attack, cross from the bottom, and then rely on Lu Chenfeng's header!
Such a tactical system highlights that for players, there is no doubt that Lu Chenfeng is the biggest beneficiary.
"Maybe I'll be able to make a big impression on John Carver today."
Lu Chenfeng secretly said in his heart, he had some expectations for today's game.
Soon.
The bus began to move towards London.
I have to say that the opening schedule of this season is very devilish for Newcastle.
In the first game, they have just faced the traditional powerhouse Liverpool.
As a result, in this game, Arsenal, known as the world's football arsenal, had another encounter with Newcastle.
As we all know, Arsenal, which plays beautiful football from the youth team to the first team, has a complete youth training system.
No matter what level of echelon it is, the strength is very good!
The current boss Arsene Wenger is also very good at selecting players from the Academy.
Such a team is definitely something that all youth teams don't want to meet.
There are often weak teams who are very aggrieved by the Arsenal youth team's pass-and-control football, and they can't touch the football many times in the whole game.
However, the Newcastle players today are a little different.
With the head coach's sideline watching buff, even if the Universe team comes, they have to rush well today and will not lose their fighting spirit.
……
It was past twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
The Newcastle team arrived in London.
They have been to this cosmopolitan metropolis many times, but they are not too curious.
After lunch, they rushed to the lounge of Arsenal's U18 training base to prepare for the game after taking a break.
Soon, the time came to one fifty o'clock.
Players from both sides stepped onto the pitch to a burst of FA league music.
Lu Chenfeng undoubtedly got the chance to start today, stood at the front of the team, and walked on the field.
In the process of playing, the players on both sides also seemed more excited, cheering for their teams, and there were some insults to each other in their words.
"Come on! Come on! ”
"these hillbillies!"
"Hit the three of them!"
"Kill these Londoners!"
"Come on, brothers!!"
“……”
This is also a type of football culture, which has been passed down for hundreds of years.
Didn't plant?
Didn't play any football?
Let's get out of the entertainment industry early.
On the pitchside, Newcastle's coach's seat.
With the players from both sides on the pitch, Under-18 manager Lens and first-team coach John Carver chatted.
"That Asian is the wind?"
John Carver pointed to Morrowind and asked in a whisper.
"Yes, it's his first start."
Lens nodded with a smile, feeling a little lost in his heart.
No way?
Lu Chenfeng has just played a highlight performance, and the first team is so impatient?
If this is taken away from him all at once, what will happen to his performance?
In fact, Lens is still a little selfish, if he wants to go to the professional team to lead the professional league earlier, his resume must be good-looking.
Now it's hard to unearth a big killer to win.
And then the first-team manager came?
Lens kept praying in his heart that John Carver wouldn't move so fast.
"Beep!"
At this time, with a whistle sounding on the field, the game officially kicked off.
Lens looked on the field and watched.
on the pitch.
In the first half, it was Arsenal who served first.
As soon as the football was released, the Newcastle players immediately started pressing in front.
Because of John Carver on the sidelines, they all rushed to the Arsenal backfield like crazy people today.
"Bang ......"
But Arsenal deserves to be Arsenal, with a few quick kicks, quickly moved the ball out and came to the front.
At this moment, the players who Newcastle had just rushed up were a little embarrassed and pounced.
And more importantly, some of them were out of position in midfield.
The backcourt is very empty at this time!
"Bang!"
Arsenal's No.10 core delivered a penetrating pass that immediately penetrated Newcastle's defence and delivered a one-on-one shot.
"Bang!"
"Huh!"
The black striker number nine was crisp and neat, sending the ball firmly into the net!
1 to 0!
In less than a minute of the opening period, Arsenal scored a goal through a beautiful combination!
The Newcastle players conceded the ball without even touching it.
"......Oooo
The scattered Arsenal fans also erupted in cheers.
Cheer on the young lads of their home team.
Sidelines.
Head coach Lens's face instantly darkened.
As a coach, of course he knew that this ball was the hearts of the players, but he was directly stunned.
He glanced at John Carver next to him, who was expressionless and seemed to be commonplace.
Lens resisted the urge to curse and continued to watch the game on the field.
"Bang!"
Newcastle kicked the ball forward with a big kick and tried to play a long ball.
The point I was looking for was Lu Chenfeng!
Defending Lu Chenfeng was an Arsenal central defender who was more than 1.9 meters tall, and after seeing Lu Chenfeng's short body, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
But when the two jumped, the centre-back's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
He noticed that after his eyes jumped, he looked flush and saw that the player in front of him was a little below the neck.
What the fuck is this?
"Bang!"
With the tall player's ghost expression, Lu Chenfeng's eyes accurately pushed the football to the side.
