What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 29 The Youth Team Is Cruel

2 month 20 day.

The 18th round of the Dutch U25 League.

Ajax U18 vs Feyenoord U18.

Because of what Filippo and Lin Kedi said two weeks ago.

This match against Feyenoord seems to have a different feeling for Lin Kedi.

Before the start of the game, Feyenoord U18 coach Morgan Dufresne was doing pre-match mobilization to his players in the locker room.

"There is an Asian kid on the opposite side. He scored 24 goals in 39 games. Do you know what this means? It means that he will soon break a record held by our Feyenoord U18 team. We used to The scoring record of 55 goals held a few years ago. Now it seems that that kid is still far away from our record, but I tell you, don't take it lightly, be careful of him!"

Morgan Dufresne was so serious in front of his players that he told them to be wary of a player on the opposing team.

In the minds of professional players, they may feel that the opponent is really important, and they must be careful during the game.

But in the minds of some immature young players, they will feel that.

"Is it that strong? Say it like this?"

"Coach, you attach so much importance to him? Then I will definitely give him some color in a while."

This idea of ​​deviating from the game itself will come out of the minds of these young players.

Then in the game, the execution of tactics will deviate.

It's just that Morgan didn't find something wrong with his players.

In the next game, some Feyenoord U18 players showed obvious "competition" behavior in the game.

It is to beat Lin Kedi to death.

Lin Kedi also discovered this. For him, it is very common for his opponent to be malicious towards him, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Compared with the performance of Feyenoord U18 in the first round of this season, it is much worse.

Lin Kedi could feel it.

Therefore, the frequency of Lin Kedi's feet is faster, and his feet are more decisive.

When the game ended, the final score was fixed at 1-0.

Lin Kedi scored the only goal of the game in the 81st minute.

This game was supposed to be a strong dialogue game, but because some Feyenoord players did not play according to the tactics arranged by the coach, the game directly turned into Ajax's tiki-taka tactical drill.

Although the final score was only 1-0, it was a small victory.

But anyone who has watched the entire game will be able to understand one word-a small score.

That's the case with this game.

After the game, Dean, the chief reporter of the Youth League of the Dutch Telegraph, came to interview Lin Kedi again.

This time the interview is more biased towards flattery.

This made Lin Kedi feel dazed after the interview.

"Could it be that our club has a deal with this reporter? They've been flattering me. Why can I enter the first team when I turn 16? Please, I'm so excited that I can enter the second team. What a pair. That Reporters won’t praise anyone.”

After Lin Kedi returned to the dormitory, he couldn't help complaining to Filippo.

"Reporter, are you still dissatisfied with flattering you?"

"It's not dissatisfaction, it's just an interview. As for what happened?"

"Maybe that's his interview style. But then again, I haven't been interviewed in three years in the youth team. You have been interviewed several times in half a year since you came here."

"Winning the best player in the game is not always interviewed, it seems that there are only 5 times together."

"After all, there are few things for the youth team, so naturally there are few interviews, and there is no news to publish. But the Dutch second, the Dutch league is different. After each game, many players can be interviewed."

When Lin Kedi saw Filippo talking, he looked very yearning.

"Filippo, you still like football, don't you?"

"Of course, even if I don't play football in the future, I will still like football. I'm a Brazilian."

"Then why don't you work directly with football?"

"Football-related jobs, besides players, what else can there be? Coach? It's not realistic. I have seen the UEFA coaching certificate before. It takes a long time. I don't have that much time now."

Filippo was silent for a moment.

"Lin, life is cruel, football is also cruel, and the youth team is also cruel. So I envy you, because you still have the opportunity to change your life. I can no longer do this. "

Lin Kedi found that when chatting with Filippo now, he would be in a state of negative energy. Although they were good friends, Lin Kedi couldn't really comfort Filippo.

Although Filippo is the right winger with the most playing time in the U18 team, it is obvious that even the young players who have just joined the team can see that Filippo's tactical status in the team is not high, because Philip The most important role of Bo in the game is to pass the ball.

Enzo didn't need him to cut inside to shoot.

In today's football, almost the vast majority of wingers are counter-footed wingers who cut in and shoot.

There are very few crosses from the wingers, because this function has been partially replaced by the full-backs.

Therefore, a player like Filippo who played the role of a winger from the beginning is a bit embarrassing.

Then some people will say, go to the left and play as a winger with an inverted foot.

But the problem is that Enzo will choose to let Ming Deli, who was originally a center forward, play a left winger, or let Lin Kedi, who was originally a center forward, play a left winger, and he will not let Filippo play a left winger.

Because the reason is also very simple, Mindre is stronger than Filippo, and Lin Kedi is also stronger than Filippo.

The comparison of strength and weakness is actually quite difficult to compare in different teams sometimes, but if they are in the same team, the players themselves can know who is strong and who is weak.

Now in the Ajax U18 team, among the offensive players, everyone agrees that Link is the strongest, because he can shoot and pass, and he is fast. The only thing that may be lacking is physical confrontation.

Second only to Lin Kedi is Ming Deli.

Lin Kedi's level is much higher than Mingdeli's.As for Mindre, his level is higher than other offensive players.

As for Filippo, he is at the same level as other offensive players.

Why he can become the main force of the right winger is only because of the tactical positioning of head coach Enzo.He was the only one in the team who played as a smooth winger since he was a child. Although other players can change to play this role, if you switch to playing with others and keep playing, you must play all the time.

This is how Filippo stood out from a bunch of players of his level.

However, in the three years of the youth team, he never won the best player once.

Lin Kedi also understood why Filippo wanted to quit the youth team.
