Chapter 3 West Brom Trials

There is an old saying in Longguo: Blessings come without pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

West Midlands, West Bromwich Borough, a civilian hotel, after taking a shower, Chen Mo rubbed his hair and walked out of the bathroom, joking: "Uncle Li, do you think my mouth is open? Trial training for the past few days My team either let me play as a midfielder or as a defender, Uncle Li, what do you think of me changing my career to fortune-telling?"

"You kid still in the mood to laugh?!"

Seeing Chen Mo's hippie smiling face, Li Zhiqiang was furious. These days they ran to six clubs including Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds United, and West Ham United, but it seemed that God didn't want Chen Mo to eat football. .

After six trials, no club let him serve as the midfield commander!
The stereotype of many coaches is that Longguo football can only defend and use big feet, and has nothing to do with delicate midfield conduct!

Chen Mo waved his hand disapprovingly: "Okay, relax, the world is so big, there will always be a place for me, Chen Mo, if not the Premier League, there will be the English Championship and the Second Division.

"Stop, stop! Don't talk about it, boy! If you agree again, I won't run away with you!" Li Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "Go to sleep today, and tomorrow we will go to the West Bromwich Albion Club , if it doesn’t work, then consider other leagues.”

"West Bromwich Albion?" Chen Mo was taken aback: "Isn't that the Championship team? How about we try other top teams first?"

Li Zhiqiang was speechless again: "You kid thinks too much! Now it's good to find a team that is willing to take you in!"

The English Championship is the second tier in England, one level lower than the Premier League. Chen Mo grimaced: "Playing in the English Championship."

"I still don't like it. It's up to you to say whether the English Championship team is willing to ask you." Li Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "According to my observations, West Bromwich Albion has done very well this year, and there is a very high probability that they will win in the past two years. You will be promoted to the Premier League in 13. Besides, you are only [-] years old anyway, and you will enter the youth academy if you go there, and you will be able to play in the Premier League when you enter the first team in a few years."

"Well, that sounds pretty good."

Throwing the towel aside, Chen Mo picked up the ball and started bouncing it again. Li Zhiqiang said speechlessly: "Hey, hey, you just took a shower, and now you're sweating from bouncing the ball? Go to rest early, and you're going to try out tomorrow. .”

Chen Mo didn't take it seriously, and looked calmly at the football bouncing up and down on his toes: "Sweating, just wash it again. My skills are not up to the mark, so I must seize all the time and work hard to improve. Uncle Li, go to bed first."

"Really do it, don't be too tired, see how I can fix you if you can't run tomorrow!"

"Know it."
.
The Hawthorns, West Midlands, the following day.

"Hey Li, long time no see."

In the player channel, Guadilla, the coach of the West Bromwich Albion youth training team, hugged Li Zhiqiang very warmly. Li Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Yeah, yeah, we haven't seen each other since the last interview. I miss you very much." Sister-in-law fried steak."

Guardila scolded with a smile: "Hey, you guy, you say you miss me, but you just came to see me now, do you think we can't do it at West Bromwich Albion? By the way, you took him away Most of the little guy from the British trial, right? Hello, little guy."

"His name is Chen Mo, he is 13 years old this year. Xiao Mo, this is Mr. Guardila, please call someone."

"Hello, Uncle Gua."

Li Zhiqiang patted Chen Mo on the head, Chen Mo said hello obediently, and then stopped talking.

"Uncle Gua? What a strange name." Guadilla smiled and said, "The little guy looks quite shy, okay, Li, I have watched all the video tapes you gave me, and I also understand his technical characteristics. It’s a commanding role. Little guy, you go to warm up first, and you’ll be ready to start playing later, you and Uncle Li still have something to talk about.”

"Well."

Chen Mo nodded obediently, and followed the staff to the training ground. Guardila took Li Zhiqiang aside until his back disappeared at the end of the passage, and said, "Li, something has changed, I have to tell you first."

Variety?Li Zhiqiang's eyes changed slightly: "You say."

Guardila said apologetically: "It's like this. The club held a meeting this morning. The main thing is that our goal for the past two years will be to re-impact the Premier League. You know, we want to return to the Premier League within two years." In the Premier League, it is difficult to train players on your own, you need to spend money to buy players in the market, in order to save money, the top management decided not to sign young players for our youth academy this year."

"what!"

Li Zhiqiang looked ugly, and Guardila spread his hands: "I can't help it. The new guy used to be involved in politics. He doesn't know where the roots of football are. He just wants to get results quickly. But don't worry, this time Trials are open games, you know what I mean?"

"you mean"

"Yes, in order to prevent those parents from making trouble in the future, this trial training allows scouts from other teams to watch the game. That is to say, as long as your little nephew is able to pass the test, he still has the opportunity to go to other training camps. Hey, now the club My focus is not on the youth training side, and I am also very dissatisfied with the results of the youth training camp in the past few years. My position as the coach of the B team of the youth training camp is a bit dangerous, so what I can do now is to let that little guy kick me. position and give him a stage to play."

"I understand, thank you this time."

"Needless to say these, didn't you help me too?"
.
West Bromwich Albion has no game today, and the trial training location is directly at home - the Hawthorns Stadium.

"Is this the Hawthorn Stadium? It's a bit small and old, but the sky is very clear."

The two young players stood in the middle circle waiting for the whistle to serve. Chen Mo, wearing a No. 24 blue training vest, turned his waist and moved his body, looking around. The Hawthorn Stadium has a long history. It was small enough to accommodate 1900 spectators, but there were not many people in the auditorium at this time, most of them were some scattered parents and scouts trying to find out.

Even so, Chen Mo is still very excited. Today the coach asked him to play the long-lost midfielder.

"I can finally feel refreshed."

Chen Mo secretly clenched his fists.

After a while, the referee whistled and the blue team served.

The forward flicked his ankle, and the ball rolled towards Chen Mo's feet. The tall white midfielder No. 32 of the opponent saw his weak physique, and immediately stepped forward to press for him. His two long legs ran fast.

"Rush so fast, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to stop the car too quickly?"

If he is still playing the midfielder, Chen Mo really doesn't have a good choice at this time. To be on the safe side, he will still pass back to the defender, but now it is different. His position is on the left side of the midfield, with a midfielder behind him. A defensive line with the full-backs, with the same midfielders on the side, and forwards who drop back in front, there are too many options.

Even if there is a mistake, it is just a loss of possession, not letting the opponent face the goal.

When the ball came to his feet, Chen Mo didn't pass back or stick to the ball. The moment his right foot touched the ball, he tapped it lightly and directly sent the ball to another midfielder beside him. At the foot of player No. 7, No. 32 was shaken. He staggered, and Chen Mo didn't stop at the same time. After passing the ball, he immediately advanced to No. 32 to grab the open space left, and at the same time reached out for the ball.

Seeing that No. 32 was out of position, the red team's midfielder immediately stepped up.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught this scene, and the corner of Chen Mo's mouth curled into a triumphant smile.

Whether it's football or basketball, as long as you can pass the first defensive player in front of you, things will be much easier later, because the opponent needs to fill in at this time, and filling in will cause vacancies again, forming a chain reaction!
And the so-called organization is to find the opponent's space!

In his conception, as long as No. 7 returns a pass to him and runs, he will continue to pass the ball, advance forward, play two-on-one and pass the midfielder. At that time, the opponent's defender will either make up or shrink.

After making up, he will look for opportunities to pass the ball to the center forward. If he shrinks, he can either choose a long shot, or he can choose to wait for his teammates to come up and play around the penalty area.

But it's a pity.

No. 7 is a solo B.

Faced with the opportunity of two-on-one, No. 7 did not choose to pass the ball, but stepped on the ball and played a Jordan-style post-up single!
"I"

The opportunity was fleeting, and at the moment when No. 7 played back singles, No. 32 had returned to his position, and Chen Mo was stuck in Bengbu, so he had to retreat silently to respond.

Guardila on the sidelines had some regrets: "This kid's awareness and mentality are very good, but it's a pity that such a good opportunity for blitzkrieg was not grasped."

Li Zhiqiang also shook his head: "Just now, the young players of the red team obviously haven't shaken off their nervousness. If the ball is returned to Chen Mo, hit the wall and pass the midfielder, and the two ghosts hit the goal and face the defense, there is a chance to create a murderous intent. Harm—what a pity."

Guardila nodded: "After this blitz, the players of the red team will be on guard against Chen Mo to a higher level and will be more cautious. It will be difficult to take advantage of the opponent's impulse."
