Chapter 9 Super Substitute
On the last day of October 2010, the tenth round of the German U10 Youth League was in full swing. After the first 19 rounds, Hertha Berlin sat firmly on the top spot in the northern division with an absolute advantage of 9 wins and 7 draws. Such a record is also the best reward for Hertha Berlin's emphasis on youth training.

Hertha Berlin U19 youth team played against Ingolstadt U19 youth team at home in this round.The game started from the moment the referee whistled, and the gap between the two teams was always visible. The Hertha Berlin U19 players dominated the scene with one kick after another, so that Ingolstadt U19 could only play at their own pace.

Head coach Wedemeyer, who has been standing on the sidelines since the start of the game, also returned to sit on the bench, because the current situation of the team is just like what he arranged before the game, so there is no need to deliberately make too many arrangements. Sitting and watching the game is more comfortable than standing and directing.

The players on the bench are warming up in batches under the arrangement of the assistant coach. Except for the substitute goalkeeper, the substitute players in other positions must be ready to play at any time. Coupled with the weather, warm-up exercises such as jogging and stretching to maintain body temperature are very important. To find the feeling, players who come off the bench will often be directly involved in the fierce game in a short period of time. Therefore, if you want to adapt your physical condition to the rhythm of the game and improve your sports performance, the necessity of warming up is even more obvious.

As the game progressed, Lin Tian also returned to the bench from the third warm-up exercise. He put on his team coat and sat on a cold stool to watch his teammates play. The game had already reached more than 70 minutes. The score of 0-0 on both sides made the head coach Wedemeyer not as relaxed as he was in the first half. He stood on the sidelines and continued to direct his disciples.

"Lin, get ready to play." A moment later, Wedemeyer said to Lin Tian. Starting from the second half, in order to strengthen the offense, this is the third time he has replaced an offensive player, and it is also the last chance to change.

The assistant coach registered the substitution information to the third official on the sidelines, and the fourth referee then held up the substitution sign, replacing No. 18 with No. 9. Lin Tian's jersey number is 18, which is also his age.

"Lin, come on." Brandy, No. 19 player of Hertha Berlin U9, ran to the sidelines and gave Lin Tian a high-five while encouraging Lin Tian.

"Leave it to me, Brandy." Lin Tian hugged the former and replied confidently.

This is Lin Tian's first time representing the Hertha Berlin U19 youth team in an official game. He was not as nervous as imagined. He conveyed the tactics of head coach Wedemeyer to his teammates, and then appeared in the center position instead of Brandy.

Under the tenacious defense of Ingolstadt U19, even Hertha Berlin, which strengthened its offense, could hardly score goals, and the time on the field was also passing in such a stalemate of attacking and defending.

But no matter how powerful the team is, they will be afraid of mistakes, and the closer the game is to the end, the more the physical consumption reaches the critical point, and the more mistakes will occur between players.Lin Tian, ​​who was constantly pressing high on the field, seized this opportunity. Under Lin Tian’s pressing, Ingolstadt’s U19 defenders could only pass the ball back to their goalkeeper in the backcourt, but the passing line was not far from the goalkeeper’s position. Small, the ball just reached Lin Tian's feet, and then under the attack of the opponent's defender and goalkeeper one after the other, Lin Tian on the penalty area line passed the ball to Meyer who reached the middle of the penalty area, and the latter easily pushed into the empty goal.

A big gift from the Ingolstadt U19 goalkeeper, Lin Tian, ​​who came off the bench, sent an assist, and Hertha Berlin U19 midfielder Meyer easily accepted it.

……

The victory of the last game gradually faded in the team's hard training for the next game. Lin Tian's assists helped the team win, of course he was also congratulated by his teammates and coaches.

Head coach Wedemeyer felt in his own mind that Lin Tian would have a period of time to adapt to the youth league. His original intention was to let Lin Tian enter the team's roster, whether he watched the game from the sidelines or came off the bench.However, Lin Tian's performance in the last game made Wedemeyer realize that maybe Lin Tian didn't need so much time to adapt. He might have been ready for a long time, but it was only one game. Wedemeyer, who had made up his mind, put Lin Tian on the bench again according to his own ideas.

After Germany entered November, the weather became more humid and colder than before, and thick coats have become a must for people who go out. The club also equipped each player with a coat and a long-sleeved jersey for the game.

On the first weekend of November, the Hertha Berlin U11 youth team once again played at home against the Paderborn U19 youth team who came to challenge. Lin Tian continued to wait for his chance to play as a substitute. Before that, he also received a system task prompt.

Mission: Super Substitute.

Goal: Come on as a substitute and score a goal while helping your team to victory.

Reward: Add 10 to the system experience value (the current system level is level 2, the experience value is 0, and there is still 20 experience points left to upgrade.)
Compared with the defense of Ingolstadt U19 team in the last round, the Paderborn U19 youth team is also a bit more offensive. At least the momentum on the field is not inferior to the Hertha Berlin U19 youth team.

In the No. 20 minute of the game, high center Brandy received a high-altitude ball from his teammate in the penalty area and scored with a header to help the team take the lead.

In the first half, Hertha Berlin's 1-0 score came to the intermission. Wedemeyer was talking to the players about the second half of the team's problems in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Hertha Berlin's U19 side made personnel adjustments first, replacing a winger with Lin Tian. The team also changed from a 4-3-3 formation in the first half to a 4-4-2 formation. The two centers, Brandy and Lin Tian, ​​one tall and one fast, were at the forefront.

No. 603 minutes, Meyer, who organized the attack in front of the right side of the center circle, took the ball forward. While dribbling the ball while observing the position of his teammates, Meyer directly sent a long pass to Lin Tian in the frontcourt.

Lin Tian, ​​who had no time to lament his bad luck, got a big hug from Brandy, Hertha Berlin U19 youth team 2-0 Paderborn U19.

With the team leading by two goals, the Paderborn U19 players then completed a counterattack through the cooperation between the two forwards. One of the forwards faced Husic's calm push and scored a goal for Paderborn.

After scoring the goal, the Paderborn U19 players seemed to see a chance to equalize the score, but unfortunately Hertha Berlin U19 did not give them another chance.

No. 707 minutes, another precisely guided through ball from Meier found Lin Tian in the frontcourt. Lin Tian, ​​who was holding the ball behind his back, was just like he had practiced with Yang Chen many times in the training ground.

In the end, the Hertha Berlin U19 youth team helped the team win with Brandy's brace and Lin Tian's icing on the cake. The best player of the game was also given to Meyer, who performed extremely well.

In the electronic sound of the system, Lin Tian also got a reminder to complete the task.
