3. I can’t pass the ball!

 "Although we are in the lead, I am not satisfied with the process of the first half at all, boys!"

During the 15 minutes of the halftime break, head coach Pina unceremoniously criticized the players' attitude towards the game.

The player he criticized emphatically as the "outstanding player" was none other than Zidane's eldest son:

"Enzo, with your condition today, I will not recommend you to enter the first team!"

Enzo, whose passing success rate was less than 70% in the first half, felt slightly hot on his face and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake:

"Sorry, coach, please give me a little more time."

Pina waved his hand and drew two lines on the tactical board:

"It is obvious from the first half that there is a huge gap between the opponent's midfield and backcourt. We must seize the opportunity to open up space from these two positions..."

He drew a circle on an Atletico Madrid center back and raised his chin at De Tomas:

"Raul, can't you even win against an Asian defender?"

The person he specifically marked was Xu Xin, who served as Atletico Madrid's central defender in this game.

De Thomas, who was only 2 months away from turning 17 years old, couldn't stand the excitement at all and showed a grinning expression:

"I did it out of humanitarianism and didn't use my full strength!"

He patted his chest towards the head coach:

"Give me 15 minutes, and I will let him know what the racial gap is!"

The success aroused the fighting spirit of the two core players, and Pina nodded with satisfaction.

But neither the U18 coach nor De Thomas realized that the conversation they just had had some suspicion of "racial discrimination"?

Maybe it’s not their fault.

Asian players are inherently inferior to European players. Isn’t this the truth and common sense in football?

What?

They also have an Asian player on their team?

What does this have to do with anything?!

-

"Drip~~~"

After a short break, the players from both sides changed sides and played again.

Perhaps it was the head coach's encouragement that played a role. Real Madrid players gradually found their form and soon suppressed Atletico Madrid.

After all, this is only 2011, and "Gangster Godfather" Simeone has not yet taken over as Atletico Madrid's coach. Today's Shenlian Army, whether it is the first team or the youth team, they cannot compare with their city rivals.

In the 54th minute, Enzo sent a very accurate through ball in the middle. De Tomas used his absolute speed advantage to get rid of Xu Xin and used a light lob to cross the goalkeeper's fingers!

2:0!

"Woohoo~~~"

After scoring the goal, De Thomas couldn't hide his excitement. He even lifted up his pants and showed off his strong thigh muscles to the coaches on the sidelines:

"I told you a long time ago that I can score a goal in less than 15 minutes!"

As his background, the frustrated Xu Xin was quickly replaced by Atletico Madrid's coach, and Real Madrid also made corresponding adjustments.

Enzo was replaced first, not because the coach was dissatisfied with his performance, but simply to protect the youngest child on the team...

Marcos Llorente, who just came on the field, is only two months older than Enzo. He was obviously very excited when he got the opportunity, running around in the midfield, trying to seize the limited time and achieve a brilliant performance.

But what went against his wishes was that in his eagerness to make a contribution, he was too attached to the ball and was intercepted by Saul and Oliver Torres!

Saul did not dribble the ball, but directly made a pass and sent the ball behind Real Madrid's defense!

This time forward Alejo didn't waste any chance. He cut his way between Real Madrid's two central defenders and blasted away goalkeeper Ruben Yáñez with a blast!

1:2!

-

Atletico Madrid's morale was obviously boosted after regaining a victory. After the restart, they had no intention of retreating on defense, but resolutely adopted high-pressing tactics.

Real Madrid's U18 players had just finished their summer vacation, and their bodies had not yet returned to their best condition. During the halftime break, they were given a shot of chicken blood by the coach, which caused them to be overly excited during these 20 minutes and their physical energy was quickly depleted.

The continuous pressing against Atletico Madrid suddenly seemed a little rushed.

In the 83rd minute, Oliver wanted to use his speed to eat Su Changwei alive, but the latter used his feeding potential and blocked the bottom path, so he could only choose to pass back to the middle.

Saul, who was late to receive the response, did not wait for Marcos Llorente to pounce on him, and directly passed the ball low into the penalty area!

Real Madrid's two central defenders had no time to form a circle, and they saw Atletico Madrid forward Alejo easily volleyed the goal!

2:2!

The Shenzhen Army, playing away from home, chased two goals in a row within 20 minutes!

-

“Puta madre!”

Watching the ball leap into the net, Pina couldn't help but utter a Spanish national curse.

He glared fiercely at the frustrated Marcos Llorente, almost wanting to kill him with his eyes!

[You came on as a substitute, so your physical fitness is sufficient, right?]

[Why can’t you stop Saul, who has played for more than 80 minutes?]

[With your positioning awareness, never fantasize about occupying a place in the Real Madrid first team!]

Pina raised his left arm and glanced at his watch:

[When they finish celebrating the goal, there won’t be much time left!]

-

As predicted by Coach Pi, Atletico Madrid's celebration lasted for a full minute. Alejo, who scored twice, even rushed into the audience and hugged his parents, unwilling to return to the field for a long time.

He also received a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate passionately, and explained to the referee for half a minute.

By the time Alejo got dressed again, the game had entered the 85th minute...

Leading for most of the half, only to be tied by the opponent before the end of the game. Real Madrid was obviously unwilling to accept this outcome, so except for the two central defenders and the goalkeeper, the other seven players all pressed forward!

Of course, Atletico Madrid will not surrender easily. They resolutely retreated, tightened their defense within their own 30-meter area, and learned the "big bus" tactic without any teacher!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Although Mourinho failed to penetrate his football philosophy into Real Madrid's youth training culture, he has infected his city rivals!

Six defenders, three defensive midfielders, these are very basic operations!

Youth games are often not as utilitarian as those of the adult team. They are more of a back-and-forth attack. Where have the boys from Real Madrid seen such extreme defense?

Facing the iron wall set up by Atletico Madrid, although Real Madrid's offensive was overwhelming, they could only watch helplessly as their offense fell into quagmire again and again, and in the end it could only be converted into a long shot from outside the penalty area.

The football did not threaten Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper at all, but was blocked by the dense defenders and got a corner kick for Real Madrid.

Pina glanced at his watch:

"93 minutes and 45 seconds."

The 4-minute injury time has come to an end!

Real Madrid's forwards, midfielders, and even two tall central defenders all squeezed into the penalty area, hoping to become the key to determining the result at the last moment.

Alvaro Medran took a corner kick, and the football spun towards the goal. Before he could find his teammate, it was pushed out by the 1.84-meter Saul.

"It's over!"

Saul, who was in the air, felt calm.

Pina, who was standing on the sidelines, looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart full of regret.

[The powerful Real Madrid was actually tied with Atletico Madrid in their own home court?]

[Mourinho has always looked down on his own youth training. As a result, not only did we fail to prove ourselves, but we played like this in the first game of the new season. How can we stand up in front of the Portuguese this season?



[I'm sorry for the youth training director - Fernando Sanchez!]

As soon as Pina finished sighing, he saw the football pushed out of the penalty area by Saul and landed in front of Su Changwei.

Because his height is not an advantage, Su Changwei did not enter the penalty area to participate in the header competition, so at this moment, there was no defensive player within five meters around him!

Pass the ball?

Su Changwei rejected this choice immediately in his mind!

[De Thomas won’t pass the ball to Wu Lei, I’m just learning from him!]

Su Changwei, who was struggling, faced the spinning and falling football, raised his right foot and swung his leg to volley!

His outer instep is tight and in close contact with the football. This feeling is unprecedented and just right!

With just a "pop" sound, the football turned into a white shadow in the air and jumped straight towards the goal!

There were too many players from both sides in the penalty area, and the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper's sight was completely blocked. Faced with this sudden long shot, he had no reaction at all!

Saul had just landed, and before he even had time to turn his head, he heard a noise from the net behind him:

"Shua la la~~~"

Su Changwei on the outside of the penalty area raised his arms high!

3:2!
