Chapter 9 U17 Captain, Lightning Assist

The youth training department of the Portuguese Football Association fully takes into account the particularity of the competition between the three teams. Porto is more than 300 kilometers away from Lisbon, and the schedule is given priority to Porto.

After two games, Porto's three age groups will return.

The first to start is the U17 age group, the time is tomorrow at 11 o'clock in the morning, and the opponent is the Portuguese U17 youth team.

U19 will play at 23:[-] pm, and U[-] will play at [-]:[-] pm.

The Porto youth team of three age groups came to the national football training base without neglecting training. After an hour of free activities, they came to the training ground respectively for the last practice before the game.

Considering that there will be a high-level competition on the second day, the training content arranged by the coach is of no intensity at all.

Martin is exactly the same as in the past, carrying out persistent additional training.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the 100% progress of the special training of [Transfer], the transfer will automatically +1, and the current value is 67."

With a system notification beeping, the training progress visible only to Martin changed from 99% to 100%.

When Martin finished the extra training, the head coach Simon came over.

"Martin, you are the captain for tomorrow's game."

"Ok?"

Simon patted Martin on the shoulder and encouraged: "The next two games will be your swan song in U17. Don't regret it. You are also very good at leadership. I believe you will be a qualified captain."

"I will never betray your trust!"

Martin said solemnly.

……

The coaches of the Porto U19 youth team and U23 youth team have heard Martin's "gossip" recently, saying that the former genius worshiped Sanqing in the Taoist temple of Longguo, received a holy baptism, and the whole person changed drastically.

Not to mention fulfilling his talents, he has also become extraordinarily diligent.

Looking at the sweaty figure, Joao Bran, head coach of the U19 youth team, was smiling, but felt a little disappointed.

According to the club's youth training rules, teams with higher levels have higher recruitment authority.

In other words, the head coach of the U23 youth team took a fancy to Martin, so he could only regretfully miss the training opportunity.

The U23 coach Ricardo Perez also has the same idea. If the B team coach Castro takes a fancy to it...

Thinking of this, Ricardo Perez smiled. Martin was recommended to the U19 youth team by the youth training director Paul Noga. How could he be valued by the higher B team Castro?
In other words, he may not be able to fancy Martin.

Promotion to the B team is even more impossible.

First team?

Not every player is as lucky as Ruben Neves.

……

At 17 o'clock the next morning, the Porto U17 youth team and the Sporting Portugal U[-] youth team followed their physical coaches and came to the venue to warm up.

Martin couldn't help looking at Leo, who will have great achievements in the future.

Compared with the strong physique of later generations, Leo now looks very thin, giving people a sense of malnutrition.

If you underestimate Leo, you will definitely suffer a big loss.

Fast speed is his personal talent, and good physical coordination and flexibility are the innate strengths of black people.

With good foot skills, the 15-year-old Leo already has a very good ability to break through barriers alone.

There are also relatively outstanding shooting skills in front of goal, and the ability to calmly grasp opportunities.

Outstanding talent has already shown its sharpness in the Portuguese youth training circle.

Porto U17 head coach Simon told him before the game that defending Leo is the first choice, followed by restricting the performance of Miguel Luis and Daniel Braganza.

After all, Leo's personal dribbling and scoring ability is also expected to explode in the U17 age group.

"Milan's thigh in the future, my brother is going to abuse you..."

The game that is about to start will inevitably be against Leo, one attack and one defense, and there will always be a difference, and I have stronger expectations in my heart.

Three and 10 minutes passed quickly, and the two U17 players who finished warming up went to their respective coaches' benches on the sidelines.

The title of the competition is the Triwizard Tournament, but it is actually no different from an ordinary warm-up match.

Both U17 youth teams made pre-match tactical deployments on the sidelines.

葡萄牙体育U17主教练马里莫迪交代完战术,刚从U15提拔到U17就获得首发机会的莱奥习惯性抬头,看向比赛对位的波尔图U17青年队2号。

MA-DING?

"Black hair, yellow skin, Asian players? Captain?"

Leo's dignified expression disappeared, replaced by joking and contempt.

Are there any good players in Asia?
He thought for a while, and a strong anger suddenly gushed out of his heart.

That disgusting country that relies on referees to enter the World Cup semi-finals?
And that despicable country that made historical mistakes but refused to admit it?

Or the country known as the football desert?
The corners of the mouth were raised, revealing a playful smile.

No matter which country the player is from, he must finish the abuse later!

Leo made up his mind!

……

In a sense, the Triwizard Tournament is the pinnacle matchup of the Portuguese youth training, so many reporters and scouts flooded into the professional football field in the community hosting the event.

As a feast for the Portuguese youth training, there are also the relatives and friends of the participating players, diehard fans, neutral fans who join in the fun, and agents who rely on outstanding players for food.

However, the impact of the event is limited, and the number of spectators pouring into the professional football stadium in the community is limited.

There are still more than half of the seats with a capacity of [-] spectators.

……

Leo's center of gravity was slightly to the right, and then spiked the ball in the opposite direction to accelerate, obviously trying to use the change of rhythm and impressive speed to complete the breakthrough.

Martin, who has lowered his center of gravity and fought and retreated, sees through everything, and Leo's feints and smashes are like slow motion that has been slowed down many times!
His left foot supports his body, and his right foot sticks out like a ghost to intercept the running route of the football.

"Oh-meu-Deus!"

After finishing the action, Leo's pupils shrank slightly, his face full of disbelief.

There is only one thought in his mind, how...how did he see it?

It was too late to change the trick, and the body was affected by inertia, so he could only watch Martin block the ball and quickly handed the ball to central midfielder Rui Pires.

After completing the pass, Martin speeded up along the right sideline, and at the same time raised his right hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball.

Rui Pires stopped and took a trip, dodged a Portuguese Sporting U17 player Andre Franco's tackle, and then sent a diagonal pass to the front right with a little advance.

Sporting Lisbon youth teams at all levels focus on cultivating wide players, supplemented by teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and the same is true for U17.

The offense hits the left, and the overall formation is relatively forward.

Martin steals the ball and counterattacks with a strong sense of participating in the offense. On the other hand, the opposing left back Rebchuk reacts half-a-time, and it is too late to turn around.

It was also too late for Sporting Portugal U17's left midfielder Andre Franco to chase back, and the left center back Abdul Conte chose to stand still.

Madi Queta, who is at the forefront of the striker, is very alert, and quickly crosses the space between the two central defenders from the center, so that Conte dare not make up too much to the left.

Martin's dribbling ability is very poor, and it is a bit embarrassing for him to use his skills to surpass others.

Before the game, the head coach Simon talked about the 16-year-old left-footed central defender's speed is too fast, but... there is still a certain gap between fast and fast.

Reaching 80+ in two speeds gave him enough confidence.

Martin skimmed across the center line at high speed close to the right sideline, saw the running route of the football, and the arch of his right foot directly pushed the forward rolling football forward for more than ten meters.

The strong and powerful legs swing alternately quickly, and the speed is then increased to the extreme.

The corner of Conte's mouth twitched slightly when he saw Martin using the long-distance waving ball across the long distance.

How the hell do you think you're Gareth Bale?
The moment a slightly ironic idea just popped into my mind, I was stunned...

The two originally kept a safe enough distance, but they didn't know that the other party came to them in the blink of an eye.

Less than five meters!

The distance between each other is still shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"It's so fucking fast!"

Not only Conte felt that Martin was fast, but the Sporting Portugal U17 coaching staff, substitute players and spectators all clearly saw Porto U17's No. 2 player wearing a blue and white striped shirt as fast as the wind, and they were all amazed.

Porto U17 all know that Martin is fast, and they are full of expectations when they see the large space behind Conte.

Conte realized that Martin was much faster than himself, and his defensive choice changed from turning around to clear the siege to approaching!

To put it bluntly, it was for fouling.

As one of only two defenders along the entire backline, it is his duty to keep people or footballs in place.

Football has traveled far, so there are only people left!

The extreme speed is one of the most beautiful scenery in the football field. After Martin took the football out, the two became the ones who attracted the most attention in the audience.

As a defender, Martin naturally knew why Conte approached.

So, running at full speed, he consciously circled around to create a greater distance from the opponent.

The speed of the two is not at the same level. Conte could have relied on the advantage of being closer to the bottom line to approach Martin, but now he can only use the second choice.

Stretch people behind!

It's too late, but Martin's reaction attribute of up to 80 plays a vital role at this time!

He keenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Kanter was laying down the shovel on the side and behind him. His left foot supported his body and stood on tiptoe.

Although the novice protection period has an invincible protective effect, but...he doesn't want to miss the golden scoring opportunity at the kick-off stage!

"Pretty!"

Porto U17 coach Simon raised his arms and shouted.

Another central defender, Guilherme Ramos, handed over the responsibility of defending Madi Queta to the inward right-back Almado, and accelerated to cover the defensive gap left by Conte's defensive recklessness.

After landing, Martin staggered a little, but the effect was not great. He adjusted his body's center of gravity in two or three steps, and chased the football that had waded out ahead of time without reducing his speed.

In this process, he still has enough time to observe the running position of his teammates and the position of the opponent.

The opponent's right center back defends the left center back, and the right back makes up for the right center back.

At the far end of the frontcourt attacking the left, a familiar small figure was running at full speed, very fast.

The raised right hand was shaking constantly, for fear that he might not see the same thing.

After a few strides, Martin stopped the football two meters in front of him, slowed down slightly, and looked down at the ball. At this time, he had already simulated an optimal passing route in his mind.

The attribute [Cross] has reached 67, allowing him to complete a predetermined pass in a relatively loose situation.

About 25 meters away from the bottom line, Martin, who was attacking the right rib, swung his right foot and sent a strong cross to the ground.

The football was running so fast that goalkeeper Maximiano didn't dare to attack.

The football running fast on the ground crossed the penalty area diagonally from the right side of the attack, and then rolled over at two meters at high speed in front of Madi Queta and Guilherme Ramos, who were pressing forward along the middle road at high speed, heading far end away...

"Nice pass!"

Several scouts hidden in the auditorium couldn't help but praise him.

It was too late for Maximiano to move to the far end of the goal with the running of the football, because the running speed of the football is always faster than that of people!
The unmarked Felix advanced to the end of Martin's pass.

His right ankle was tight, and the arch of his foot pushed the ball lightly, and the football that changed its trajectory quickly rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal...
