He was expelled from naturalization at the beginning and slipped to Europe to become the king of the

Chapter 11 Maffei connects again (recommended ticket~)

Porto U17's rich tactical routines were fully displayed under Martin's excellent performance.

The fly in the ointment is that attacking to the left does create a threat. The problem is that the player who completed the last kick has poor shooting skills and fails to convert opportunities into goals.

Coach Simon sighed: "It would be great if there was a striker whose shooting skills could reach Andre Silva of the B team. Before the end of the first half, the score could be extended to at least two goals."

There was not much time left in the first half, and the offensive and defensive transitions of both sides slowed down consciously.

There are four time periods in any game that are most prone to conceding goals, that is, the beginning of the first half, the end of the first half, the beginning of the second half, and the end of the whole time.

Porto U17's goal appeared at the beginning of the first half, which was an indirect reminder to both sides.

In order to avoid losing the ball in the final stage of the first half, the side holding the ball has a stable rhythm, mainly lateral and return passes.

Although it is said that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish, and risky passing has the probability of creating absolute opportunities, but there are also great hidden dangers!

"beep~"

After the symbolic 1-minute stoppage time, the referee blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half.

The leading Porto U17 players looked very happy and smiling.

Martin was the best player throughout the first half, and he also became the first choice for his teammates to pull homework.

The U17 players of Sporting Portugal were affected by the score, and they were all depressed.

Leo, who was almost invisible in the first half, was in the worst mood, and his already dark face looked even darker...

The warm-up youth team game is not so particular. The players of both sides walked to their respective coaches' benches and listened to the head coach's tactical arrangements for the second half of the game while resting.

The fans chatted in groups of three or four, but the family members were more considerate, and went to give their children a bottle of drinking water.

Miguel Mario walked to the rest area of ​​the Porto U17 youth team with a smile, and threw the drink in his hand to Martin: "This is the sports drink prepared by your mother and brought from Porto."

Martin took the drink, then looked up to find Clara Anna in the auditorium, smiled and swaggered before unscrewing his head to drink: "The sports drink my mother made is still so delicious."

"I want to drink the drink my aunt made!"

Felix felt that the Gatorade in his hand was not fragrant when he heard the words.

"Oh? I want to drink too!"

Goalkeeper Diogo Costa has been hungry for a long time since he drank Martin's own sports drink last time. Hearing what Felix said, he hurriedly raised his hand to sign up.

A bottle of sports drink is only so much, and sharing a little bit with teammates is a little bit less. Martin is speeding up his head and drinking until he drank it all.

Immediately, he burped Felix and Diogo Costa.

"It's delicious!"

The two agreed to give Martin the middle finger.

"hey-hey……"

……

The scouts in the auditorium took the time to summarize when everyone was relaxing, and made a scout report on the technical characteristics of suitable young players.

Throughout the first half, the most dazzling players were Felix who scored and Martin who assisted.

Leo, Felix, Havertz, Zaniolo and Kluivert Jr. are currently the five most famous talented strikers in Europe at the age of 99.

Martin can freeze Leo, it can be seen that his defensive ability is very outstanding.

He also arranged the entire right, paralyzing the left attack of Sporting Portugal U17.

Played in the first half, the technical characteristics can fill a page.

Features: Excellent defensive ability, especially one-on-one, strong round-trip running ability, abundant physical fitness, fast speed, accurate cross placement, strong sense of cooperation, good leadership...

Weaknesses: The physical resistance is obviously insufficient, the technique under the feet is not delicate enough, the dribbling ability is weak, and the header ability is average...

With distinctive features and shortcomings, it is easy to see Martin's trainability.

Although he is two years older than the 99-year-old, the 17-year-old still has enough prospects for training.

There are very few full-backs who have truly balanced offense and defense in the entire world of football.

Among the post-95 players, only Leipzig Red Bull Joshua Kimmich and Luke Shaw, who joined Manchester United in June this year, have the potential to be a top full-back.

Football is a team sport, and any position can produce ceiling players.

As the players born in the 80s came to the twilight of their careers, the post-90s gradually became the backbone, and the post-95s took on the new hope of world football.

The 17-year-old Martin has enough potential to be tapped.

Of course, most scouts are not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

According to their scouting manual, players like Martin who have not had detailed records in the past have to continue to investigate patiently.

If there is potential, it is entirely possible to apply to the club for further investigation, so as to ensure that the players have enough potential to be tapped.

However, there are also individual scouts who believe that Martin's current ability is sufficient, and it will be too late if he waits until the continuous follow-up and investigation stage to make a decision...

At that time, facing various competitors, the price paid will be much higher than it is now.

After all, Porto is well-known for being nicknamed "European black shop". When Martin's potential is fully revealed, the cost will be several times or even dozens of times that of the current one.

Taking away young players with great training value earlier means saving a lot of costs.

It's just a premature decision, and it's easy to bear too high uncertain high-risk factors.

The lack of continuous follow-up inspection means that there is not enough understanding of the real situation of the player.

Any athlete has ups and downs. If you make a decision based on a game, you are afraid of buying mediocre players.

However, the realization of young players' talents is often full of uncertainty, and there are many talented players in world football who eventually become mediocre.

Barcelona Bojan, Inter Milan Balotelli, Manchester United Morrison, Milan Paloski, Arsenal Wilshere...

At the same time, there are also players with mediocre talents and qualifications who eventually grow into top players with extraordinary efforts.

Bierhoff, Klose, Inzaghi, Dirk, Toni...

All in all, whether young players can play is not entirely dependent on talent, but also depends on personal self-discipline and hard work.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind to recommend Martin, who played well in half the game, to the boss.

……

Simon expressed sufficient recognition of the team's overall performance in the first half, but the tactical arrangement in the second half was only tinkering, and there was not much to add.

With a few minutes left before the second half began, players on good terms got together.

Dalot, Diogo Costa and Felix were promoted from U15 to U17 in the same batch. They have a good relationship. Influenced by the good relationship between Felix and Martin, the relationship between the four is currently the best in the team.

"Brother Ma, give me another assist in the second half?"

Felix put his arm around Martin's shoulders, flatteringly said: "I only scored one goal, which is a bit small."

Dalot, who served as Martin's substitute, raised his middle finger directly: "Are you too greedy?"

I thought to myself that with Brother Ma as the Buddha, I couldn't even get the chance to be a substitute...

Fortunately, my eldest brother will report to U19 after finishing the Triwizard Tournament, and then I can fight for the U17 starter through hard work!

"Hey... A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a striker who doesn't want to score goals is not a top striker!"

Felix chuckled.

As Ronaldo scored more and more goals in a single season, as an avid fan, he naturally wanted to follow in the footsteps of his idol and score more goals.

"When attacking in the middle, lean towards me more. I believe that with our tacit understanding, you should be able to receive my pass."

Martin thought for a while, and put his backhand on Felix's shoulder: "It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

To assess an excellent full-back, in addition to having strong defensive skills, he must also make achievements on the offensive end.

He knew that youth team games like the Triwizard Tournament would definitely have scouts on the scene. It might be good to send one assist in a single game, but he still wants to do better!

Assist teammates twice or even three times to score, showing full dominance on the right!
Dalot looked at Martin with admiration beyond words.

The 15-minute halftime break ended quickly, and both sides of the game returned to the court one after another.

In the second half, Porto U17 kicked off at the referee's whistle.

Through the cumbersome passing and running cooperation, the Portugal Sports U17 defense line was gradually compressed to the right.

Paulo Estrela, who received the pass from Felix, was short in stature but had a very wide vision.

He slammed the football to the right with the heel of his left foot while attacking the left rib, and then sent a long diagonal pass with his right foot.

The football rising from the ground quickly flew from the attacking left rib to the attacking right.

Estrela has a wide vision and a strong sense of passing, but his shortcomings are lack of accuracy and low kicking power.

Martin ran to the position according to Simon's tactical requirements but had to brake suddenly to 'wait' for the ball.

Fortunately, Sporting Portugal's U17 defensive focus has been pulled to the right. They are young players aged 15 to 17 who lack defensive discipline, resulting in almost no man's land in defense on the left.

It is equivalent to giving Martin more time to wait for the ball, observe and think about how to deal with it.

Football is always the most eye-catching on the field. Under the attention of the audience, Martin stopped the ball with his chest and stopped the bouncing football with the sole of his right foot to a comfortable distance in front of him.

Step forward with your left foot for half a meter, and quickly complete a pass with your right foot.

Rebchuk, who pulled back to the opposing defender on the left to defend, was late.

Leo, who was actively running, was also half a beat slower, and could only watch helplessly as the football rose from the ground and bypassed the front point and flew to the middle of the penalty area.

Madi Queta ran towards the front of the small penalty area to take away Conte's defense. Guilherme Ramos, who was standing on the penalty spot, judged the landing point and planned to use the arch of his left foot to clear the ball.

At this moment, a blue and white striped figure appeared in his peripheral vision.

I was shocked in my heart.

It was too late to react. All he could do was to witness the Porto U21 player wearing the No. 17 jersey take the first step and use his body to stop the ball forward.

Then quickly adjust the step point, support the left foot, and slam the football down to the calf height with the right instep.

"Fuck!"

Goalkeeper Maximiano fully felt the violent energy attached to the whistling football, his brain was running at high speed, thinking that he didn't seem to offend Felix in the U15 country...

Why do you want to shoot at such a close distance?
"--pretty!"

The heavy football crashed into the snow-white net, Porto U17 coach Simon raised his arms excitedly, and punched it out.

He knows that this game is stable!
