Chapter 15 The Iron Tree Blooms, Creates a Penalty!
The defensive players in the Benfica U17 penalty area spread their hands one by one.

Obviously did not expect that Porto U17, who had been looked down upon by them, would score a lightning-fast team goal at the beginning of the game...

Head coach Herder stood on the scene with a depressed expression on his face.

This conceded goal is a replica of the opening stage of the first U17 game against Porto U17 in Portugal.

The difference is that Sporting Portugal U17 conceded the ball first because Leo tried to break through Martin in the opening game, which caused the problem of switching from offense to defense.

In the opening stage of this game, Porto U17 used continuous pass and cut cooperation to open a special opening tactic for Martin.

There is no direct assist to score the goal, but the assist for the goal is created by Martin.

From a goal point of view, his role is still very important.

A cross of more than 30 meters can also accurately find teammates at the far end of the penalty area, which is a very good performance for a U17 player.

Porto U17 coach Simon was particularly satisfied with the goal scored by Ricardinho.

This... is completely a team-style super goal!
The goals were completed by Madi Queta and Ricardinho, but Martin contributed a lot.

The scouts in the auditorium are experts, so they can see it naturally, so they look at Martin with fiery eyes.

There was a trace of regret in Steve Rowley's eyes. He is the chief scout of Arsenal and only has the right to make suggestions. The right to buy and sell is still in Wenger's hands.

If you don't accept the suggestion, there's nothing you can do about it.

A scout from a Bundesliga team saw Martin's performance on the offensive end, and his eyes flashed.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The current right-back configuration of the club that hired him is relatively weak, and the number of injuries to the main right-back in previous seasons has increased.

Not to mention missing a lot of games, the state has also declined seriously.

The rotation of veterans is also unstable, causing frequent problems in the defense on the right.

So much so that he had to use the midfielder as a right back.

The youth training academy had no young players to replace, so the sports director ordered the scouting department to search for young right backs with outstanding abilities, outstanding talents, and certain immediate combat power across Europe.

Seeing that the 2014-2015 Bundesliga season is half a month away, I feel more and more anxious.

Many positions in the team lineup are at the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga, but the right back is not equipped enough. If there is no way to replenish it earlier, the results of the new season will definitely be greatly affected.

The most important thing is... Failure to fulfill the requirements of the sports director, not to mention the loss of bonuses, may also lead to a decline in the level of scouts.

Just when he was frowning, the team's players from Porto's youth training said that Porto U17 had a right back with great potential, so they came to Lisbon with the mentality of giving it a try.

His team style tends to be offensive, and the right back who matches the lineup naturally has a strong offensive ability.

Not long after the start of the game, the Porto U17 right back showed a strong offensive talent on the offensive end.

He feels... This is God's best arrangement for him!

However, as an experienced scout, I also know that some things cannot be rushed to conclusions.

Still have to observe and observe.

The game restarted, and Benfica U17, who were behind in the score, completely restrained their contempt and focused all their attention on how to break through Diogo Costa's goal.

Martin is the most stable part of Porto U17, Benfica U17 coach Herder intends to imitate the tactics of France playing Italy in the 2000 European Cup final!
Continuously attack the most stable link of the opponent!

Then blow up!

Herder's strategy is certainly good, using Gedson Fernandez's super dribbling ability to consume Martin's energy, and then using frequent cross attacks to open the gap.

But...he found the wrong person.

In addition to Martin's 95+ defensive ability, there is an additional 50% success rate. Gedson Fernandez's initiative is doomed to fail.

Benfica U17 suffered Waterloo for three consecutive attacks on the left. If it weren't for Andy Queta's semi-single-handed ball and anti-aircraft guns, Porto U17 could even expand the score.

"Defensive ability, really strong!"

If the whole game is stable, he will immediately recommend it to the sports director.

U17 players, the price will not be too expensive!

Immediately, he remembered something, and quickly took out the ultra-clear camera and tripod from his backpack, went to the auditorium aisle to put it away, and aimed at Martin.

On the court, Benfica U17's left attack did not achieve any results.

On the contrary, it almost caused the ball to be lost, and the players with the ball are not as confident as they were in the previous stage.

The breakthrough expert Gedson Fernandez held the ball and faced Martin again without the initial confidence.

Until now, he did not believe what his Portugal U17 national teammate Leo, who played for the Portuguese U15, said on whatsapp.

Leo mentioned that Martin has a very terrifying sense of oppression in the national youth group many times. It is recommended not to try to break through one-on-one easily, otherwise you will easily lose confidence.

This is the case with Gedson Fernandez now.

Being able to play in multiple positions, he had the idea of ​​retreating for the first time. At this time, he hoped that coach Herder would change his tactics.

If a player loses his determination to break through, his performance will be greatly limited.

Herder's on-the-spot scheduling ability is not bad, and he soon realized that Gedson Fernandez had the ball in his feet but did not break through, so he realized something.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, he signaled the two wingers to exchange positions, and Jota Jr. continued to attack Martin's defensive hardness.

The result can be said to be no suspense, and the assault ability is not as good as that of Gedson Fernandez, and it is even more impossible for Jota to complete a breakthrough.

Porto U17's defensive pressure became less, and the offensive players Fei's psychological burden was relieved, and the intensity of participating in the offense became more and more intense.

Fortunately, the defensive system led by Ruben Dias is solid, and it does not give the trident composed of Felix, Madi Queta and Gomez Pinto too much room to attack.

The three midfielders composed of Ricardinho, Rui Pires and Estrela can defend and organize well, but they are not creative.

This also caused the offense to rely more on the two sides to initiate.

Especially on the right.

Benfica U17 obviously knew this, and they made targeted deployments before the game.

It's a pity that Porto U17 was caught off guard at the beginning.

The time passed by second by second, and soon came the 10 minutes of the whole game.

The scoreboard shows that Porto U17 is still one goal ahead of Benfica U17.

If there is professional ball possession ratio data for live games, it can be seen that the dominant Benfica U17 has an absolute ball possession advantage, and the ratio is infinitely close to 73.

However, football games are like this, no matter how high the ball possession is, it will not necessarily rewrite the score, nor can it help the team get the lead.

Five minutes passed in a flash, and the fourth official held up a sign indicating 5 minute of stoppage time.

Remind both players that there is still one minute left in the first half.

Porto U17 just took advantage of Martin's single defense ability on the right to cut off the ball at the feet of Gedson Fernandez who returned to the left, and is launching a wave of offense from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Rui Pires handed the ball straight to Martin.

Frimpong, who was not particularly fast, chose to foul decisively and stopped Martin on the spot.

Porto U17 get a free kick to the right of the center line.

Time is running out, and there is no such rush to move forward.

It might even seem a little lazy to pass it on.

I don't know if this atmosphere has affected the defensive attitude of the Benfica U17 players.

Ricardinho, who received the football, saw Martin widen the angle of receiving the ball, and sent it over without hesitation.

Gómez Pinto drew the attention of Gedón Fernández, who was actively involved in the defence.

Before receiving the ball, Martin consciously observed the positions of teammates and opponents around him.

Seeing that there is not a very good pass angle, he originally planned to pass back to the responding central defender Diogo Wright.

In the blink of an eye, Martin saw from the corner of his eye that Diogo Mendes' protection distance seemed insufficient, and he immediately had a new plan.

Before that, his style of play had always been quite satisfactory, passing the ball when he had space.

Basically, there will be no forced crosses, let alone breakthroughs.

Indeed, his dribbling skills are a bit poor.

But the speed is fast!

Frimpong on the opposite side kept a distance of about two meters.

There is some room for breakthrough!

Diogo Mendes' position is almost parallel to Frimpong's, obviously to guard against him playing 'two over two' with Rui Pires on the right rib.

In this way, it means that the distance from the bottom line will be farther, and it will become more difficult to defend!

What if you take advantage of the absolute speed advantage?
So……

The ever-changing football game should be decisive!

Hesitation will lead to defeat!
Just do it!

I saw Martin pretending to pass the ball to Rui Pires who came to attack the right flank. Frimpong has adapted to Martin's frequent passing method of finding teammates in the past.

There was no doubt, only a subconscious leg extension to intercept.

At this moment, Martin suddenly used the outer instep of his right foot to push the football toward the baseline.

Use Manchester United winger Valencia's brainless start to accelerate!
"Depend on!"

Frimpong cursed inwardly.

The explosive power was not as good as Martin's, and the center of gravity of the body had already been handed over. When changing the center of gravity, his feet suddenly slipped.

Fall to the ground!
Diogo Mendes plays high to help defend Rui Pires.

I never thought that Martin, who never actively tried to break through, would blossom into iron trees, and unexpectedly accelerate the ball to the bottom line.

Speed ​​is not its own advantage, and what you can do is very limited.

The lagging central defender Ruben Dias chose a good position, closer to Martin, and he did his part to fill the position from the middle of the penalty area to the left.

Martin Fengchi, whose speed was fully raised, came to the edge of the penalty area on the right in a blink of an eye.

He slows down a bit to make sure the ball is stable enough on the outside of his right foot.

The ball felt good, and then the two feet quickly swept across the right sideline of the penalty area.

Cut into the restricted area!

Facing Ruben Dias, who was still very young, he chose to be simple and rude, and then repeated his old tricks after a short pause.

The right foot steps towards the football, and the gesture is to use the outside instep to push the football forward to the right.

Ruben Dias, who has strong anticipation ability, moved in his heart, and subconsciously stretched out his left foot to intercept the ball.

Martin's right foot outside instep gesture is not flat, but with the three toes on the outside of the instep to pick up the ball.

Only then did Ruben Dias realize that he had been cheated, and even his pants were cheated.

But it's too late to stop...

Oh-No!

The fatal thing happened to trip over Martin's trailing left foot.

"beep~"

The referee's whistle and finger pointing to the penalty spot made him feel a little hopeless.

penalty! !
