The strongest blade in football

Chapter 38
Since the morning, Wang Nuo's left eyelid has been twitching all morning.

He remembered that his father said an old saying when he was a child that the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster.

Sure enough, before the start of the No.17 youth league round, Vetteant came to the locker room and told Wang Nuo good news.

At that time, there were only three people left in the locker room. Wang Nuo thought that the coach came to urge them to play, but he was taken aback by the news brought by Witt Ante.

"Boy, play this game well. Coach Boloni is here to watch you play!"

Vetteant's expression was so serious that Wang Nuo didn't react at first.

It wasn't until two seconds later that Wang Nuo understood what Weitiante meant.

"Just for me?"

Wang Nuo's heart seemed to be hit by a hammer, and it began to beat uncontrollably.

"Not surprisingly, you will soon have a new professional player contract!"

Veante speaks amazingly.

"Wow!"

Wang Nuo opened his mouth. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to enter the first team so soon.

Vetteant patted Wang Nuo on the shoulder, "Relax, I'm here to tell you in advance, not to put pressure on you."

He watched the usually calm disciple gradually adjust his emotions, and then said, "You should also know that the first team is full of injuries, and it's time for you to catch up."

"Of course, the outstanding performance in the past few months is the fundamental reason why you entered Boloni's vision. Come on, the opportunity is in your own hands, don't embarrass me!"

Vetteant shook his beard, slapped Wang Nuo hard on the shoulder, and left.

In the locker room, besides Wang Nuo, there were also goalkeeper Morris and striker Perry, who showed complicated expressions after Witte Ante left.

Especially Morris, there have long been rumors that the first team is going to sign him as the team's No. [-] goalkeeper, but there has been no follow-up.

No one expected that Wang Nuo, who just came in spring, would sign a professional contract.

"Hey, buddy, you can really do it, you're going to be rich!"

"I came to Liege when I was 15 and I've been waiting for this day," said Pelli enviously.

"Trust me! You're going to make a lot of money, not bad!"

It is not easy to play professional football, let alone a top team like Standard Liege, which is the dream of most young players!

Wang Nuo was dazed by the surprise, and he couldn't remember what he said or what happened next, and he kept repeating the words of Vetteante in his mind——

If nothing else, you're close to a new contract!
A new contract!Professional contract!
It wasn't until he put on his jersey and stood on the playing field that he recovered a little bit.

While the referee was talking to captain Vianne, Wang Nuo pretended to glance casually at the stands.

Sure enough, he saw Boloni with rimless glasses and neatly combed gray hair.

In fact, Boloni has watched the U19 youth league for the fourth time this season. Every time he sits on the edge of the stands, holding a cup of coffee, watching the game quietly.

Twice I left at halftime, and once I watched the entire game and came to the locker room to meet the young players and have a few minutes of brief speeches.

Everyone knows that Bologne is a talent-loving person. Standard Liege is also one of the teams with the youngest average age in the League this season, known as the "Youth Red Army".

Before that, when Boloni coached other teams, he also liked to call young players to the adult team training ground on the national team match day for mixed training together.

Observe young players in training and discover promising stars.

At Sporting Lisbon, it was he who promoted Cristiano to the first team and sent him to Manchester United.

He's the kind of coach that really appeals to young people.

There were very few spectators for this game, and not many people were willing to watch a youth league game in such a cold winter.

Before the start of the game, no audience seemed to notice Boloni. Except for his accompanying companions, he was surrounded by empty seats and looked conspicuous.

This time is different from the past, Boloni did not bring assistant coach Preto, his old partner who has been together since the beginning of the Portuguese sports.

Sitting next to him was a strange man.

Wang Nuo didn't see it too clearly, because the game was about to start, and he had to turn his attention to the game.

He didn't want to be stupid and screw up the important moment of the day.

Their opponent in this round is Charleroi U19. Like their adult team, they are not strong and rank in the middle of the standings.

Before the game, Witte Ante reminded everyone that the opponent is the team with the most steals in the youth league so far, which means that they played very actively and confronted fiercely.

The process of the game well confirmed this point.

Wang Nuo was violated five times in the first half, that's right, five times.

Once, he counterattacked from the right with the ball, overtook the opponent's No. 5 on the sideline, but was thrown to the ground like a football.

Such an action is undoubtedly a rough foul, but it is difficult for many young players to deal with.

Because the physical pain is real, when Wang Nuo loses his center of gravity and the ground is infinitely magnified in his field of vision, fear will involuntarily arise in his brain.

Injuries can be a nuisance, it means losing precious time, when someone else is galloping on the field, you can only watch silently from the sidelines, and you can't do anything.

As the player with the most assists and the most points in the team this season, Wang Nuo has been under the spotlight in recent rounds.

He also gradually learned how to deal with it.

Wang Nuo didn't panic at all. He increased the frequency of his running without the ball, got rid of it as early as possible, reduced his back to the ball, and proper confrontation-letting the opponent suffer.

In the first half, the two teams scored a goalless draw, and Wang Nuo was in pain all over. He gave the opponent's defense two yellow cards and completed two high-quality shots in the game.

He felt that he played well and the whole team played well, and it would be great if there was a goal.

During the intermission, as soon as Wang Nuo walked back to the locker room, he was surrounded by his teammates.

Because Lloris revealed the reason why Boloni was watching the game from the sidelines today!

This made the U19 boys both envious and excited.

Not surprisingly, Wang Nuo will be the first U19 player to be called into the first team this season.

"Oh! Look, our big star is back!"

Iser groaned and put his arms around Wang Nuo's neck, handed over the sweaty jersey he had just taken off, and jokingly said, "Can you sign me, idol."

Wang Nuo originally didn't want to tell other teammates about this so soon.

Because of empathy, everyone hopes that it is themselves who can go to the first team, and he doesn't want to show off.

But since everyone knows, he won't hide it.

He frankly admitted the truth and sensibly resisted the offers of his teammates to try to feed him as much as possible in the second half.

"Listen to me, guys, let's just focus on the game. Football is a 11-man game. Bologna is looking at our entire U19 team. There is nothing better than a victory!"

Wang Nuo's words attracted the approval of most teammates.

They are all young people, who would give up the opportunity to express themselves in front of Boloni?
At the beginning of the second half, Standard Liege's offensive continued and became much more violent.

Everyone knew that Boloni was watching from the side.

Moreover, as the team currently ranked second in the standings, they are only 19 points away from the leader Anderlecht U3, and everyone wants to reach the top before Christmas.

Facing the wolf cubs of Standard Liege, Charleroi U19 showed no sign of weakness and went head-to-head.

The second half of the game between the two sides was more intense, full of physical confrontation, more like a football match between the British across the Channel.

After a youth league kick, there were seven yellow cards, so that after Wang Nuo was dragged again in the 80th minute, the referee suspended the game for almost 1 minute.

He called several emotional players from both sides together and gave serious exhortations.

Standard Liege U19s win the attacking free kick.

The ball should have been taken by No. 8 Kargill. The ball was more than 20 meters away from the goal. This is his chance to use his heavy artillery to directly hit the goal.

But Cargill walked up to Wang Nuo and said, "You come."

In fact, Wang Nuo wanted to refuse. He fought very hard in this game. He twisted his left leg just now, and the lateral iliotibial band was a little swollen. He was worried that he could not play well at such a long distance.

The players on the opposite side were lining up the wall. Oliviera ran past them to take a position in the penalty area, and Cargill followed.

He actually walked away, leaving only Wang Nuo standing in front of the ball.

Now there is no way to push back.

You can't make Boloni in the stands feel like a coward, can you?

At this time, the referee blew his whistle, indicating that a free kick can be kicked.

It was the first time Wang Nuo took a free kick in the Youth League.

He took a deep breath and looked into the restricted area.

The two-thirds of the near post is tightly blocked, and the opponent's players are lined up with a high wall. The opponent's goalkeeper is standing on the far goal line with his hands on the goal post.

Wang Nuo has practiced free kicks for more than two months, and his footwork is much better than in the summer, but facing this situation, he is only [-] to [-] percent sure that he can score.

He took deep breaths one after another, suppressed his heartbeat, and took five full steps back, leaving plenty of running space.

He decided to make up for what he lacked in skill with ball speed.

Running up and kicking off, Wang Nuo's body stretched to the limit. With the swing of the arms, the core muscles exerted force, driving the thighs and calves to swing, and the whole body was like a huge spring compressed and rebounded.

"Oh!"

The position of this kick is very positive, there is no rotation, but the victory is full of strength.

Wang Nuo watched the football go away like a shell.

The opponent's goalkeeper did not expect Wang Nuo to blast such a fast goal.

He didn't even have time to react, and before he even reached out, the ball flew past him.

He turned his head hastily, watched the football fly out of the bottom line and hit the wire guardrail, making a muffled sound, and took a deep breath of relief.

Fortunately, the goal was missed.

The few fans in the stands let out a low cry of regret, followed by scattered applause.

Boloni looked at the boy on the field who was walking back with a dull head, and gave him a passing score in his heart.

Although he didn't score, but throughout the whole game, he performed maturely and outstandingly, making the opponent's defense suffer a lot, not like a youth team player at all.

It seems that it can be plug-and-play and act as a supplement to combat power.

Not long after, the final whistle sounded, and the two sides shook hands to make a draw.

Boloni stood up and said to the sports director Desart beside him: "Give him the contract, there is nothing to hesitate."
