All-around substitute

Chapter 235 Xiaosheng
Although the competition venue is simple, there is no locker room, and the bench is simple and scary, but after all, this is a game with spectators and live broadcasts.

So there are ceremonies that should be included in the regular game. Xu Xin, as the captain of the China National Youth League, exchanged team flags with the captain of Ajax U18.

As soon as the exchange of team flags was completed, there was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.The Ajax captain with long hair in a natural curly shawl immediately waved in response to the cheers from the sidelines.

The captain of Ajax responded with a wave of his hand, which attracted even more cheers. It seems that the captain has a certain place in the hearts of the fans on the sidelines, or maybe those cheering people are just relatives and friends of the captain.All in all, Ajax u18 fully shows the treatment of the home team.

In contrast, the China National Youth League seemed lonely. Except for the accompanying Chinese reporters, no one paid attention, no one supported, and no one cheered...

……

"What's the shouting! A bunch of rabble!" A Chinese reporter on the sidelines complained, obviously dissatisfied with the shouts of Jax fans on the sidelines.

"The mob? Don't you think so!" The colleagues around the reporter were full of doubts. After all, they are also Ajax's u18s. How could they become a mob?Could it be that the national youth has won a few games, and the mentality has swelled to this level?

"Anderson-Lopez! Herman! Asraf Madiui! El Ghazi! All of these Ajax U18 talented players are not here! This Ajax U18 in front of me can even be considered as a substitute for the second team No. Don’t say I don’t know him, I don’t even know his mother!” Complaining that a series of names came out of the reporter’s mouth, and it can be heard that he knows the Ajax u18 echelon very well.

"Then you mean, this Ajax u18 is not the original one?" asked the colleague beside him.

"It can't be said that it is not at all. This captain is from the original U18, but he didn't have any chance to play in Ajax U18 before. What is his name Oderson!" The complaining reporter continued.

"Oh!" The colleague next to him nodded silently.

"Look! The Chinese team will definitely win! This Ajax u18 team has no strength to compete with the Chinese team at all." The complaining reporter turned his attention to the field. In his opinion, Ajax u18 China, which has lost its main force. The team is already winning...

……

In-court games have begun, for some time in the past.As the complaining reporter said, the Chinese team took the initiative on the field, and the Ajax u18s, who were taken out of the main force to participate in the World Youth Championship, basically gathered in their own half to defend.

The fine tradition of the Dutch team's total defense, they only played half of it.

Of course, the Chinese team, which took the initiative on the field, was not all smooth sailing. They encountered problems against the Costa Rica National Youth Team. Facing the defense of Ajax U18, the Chinese team's midfielder could not create good scoring opportunities.

In the nearly 10 minutes of the game, the best opportunity created was Xu Xin's long pass from the backcourt at the beginning of the game, and forward Zhao Zihao's kick shot before the defender made a clearance.

However, this kick shot finally hit the side net and did not pose a threat.

After Ajax strengthened the air defense, the Chinese captain's pass bombing was useless.Since then, the Chinese team has continued to pass from the outside, and Ajax u18 has continued to make clearances.

There was no goal for a long time on the field, but the Chinese reporters on the sidelines were satisfied with this situation, because the Chinese team completely suppressed Ajax U18.This is the Ajax u18 who shined in the Youth Champions League!The performance of the Chinese team is enough!
Some people are satisfied while others are dissatisfied. The reporters who complained before know the strength of this Ajax u18 team.If a team like China's is unable to score goals, what should the World Youth Championship do when it faces three teams with similar strength to the Chinese team?
The complaining reporter muttered, and the colleagues on the side persuaded, "You are too demanding! I think it's okay, completely suppressing the opponent! Except for not scoring! But..."

Before the fellow journalists finished speaking, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Oderson, the captain of Ajax U18, who was disliked by the complaining reporters, dribbled the ball and went straight to the backcourt of the Chinese team!

He is a full back!From his own half all the way to the backcourt of the Chinese team, he is simply possessed by Robben, a strong horse!
Oderson dribbled the ball along the sidewalk, and Wang Tong, who was thrown away, chased back desperately, and the midfielder Xu Xin jumped up from the side.

When Odson cut inside and was about to cut in from the upper corner of the penalty area, the starting goalkeeper Tili Aimujiang rushed out and formed a three-sided encirclement with two teammates.

After all, Oderson is not Robben, and he can't hit a beautiful curve ball with a single step.Facing the attacking Tili Aimujiang, his lob shot hit Tili Aimujiang's arm and popped out of the baseline.

Alderson's lob shot made all the Chinese present break into a cold sweat.

"Oh my god! It's a good thing it's this kid! If it were Lopez, El Ghazi, or Herman, the goal would have been scored!" The complaining reporter said happily, clutching his chest.

"I really don't know what Kerry is thinking? If Xu Zangyi was on the court, the Chinese team would have scored!" The colleagues around him complained that Kerry did not let Xu Zangyi start.

And Kerry, who was on the bench, didn't look good. He also knew the strength of this Ajax team.Xu Zangyi was not allowed to start because of the lack of strength of the opponent on the one hand, and the same reason on the other hand-he was angry with himself, insisting that the team he trained would have good combat effectiveness without Xu Zangyi.

It's just that the current situation is that he can't attack and can't attack, and his ability to defend against quick counterattacks is very weak. This makes Kerry very annoyed.

As for Xu Zangyi, who was on Kerry's side, his face was full of anxiety.He didn't want this game to turn into a Costa Rica-style fiasco. He couldn't make a mad attack, but was hit back instead.

Judging from the current situation, it is likely to develop towards that situation.

"Mr. Kerry! Let me go up!" Xu Zangyi walked to Kerry's side and said eagerly.

"Wait a little longer, okay?" Kerry was so focused on defending corner kicks that he refused Xu Zangyi's request without even thinking about it.

"Mr. Kerry..."

"Sir! Wait! Will you?"

Kerry was dissatisfied, but Xu Zangyi had no choice but to retreat.

Ajax took a corner kick in the field, and after several scuffles in the penalty area, the defender Micro Motion was finally cleared out of the penalty area.

However, his clearance was not far away, and the ball was caught by Ajax's midfielder as soon as it left the top of the penalty area.

After Ajax's midfielder got the ball, he hoisted the ball into the penalty area without thinking.The players on both sides who rushed halfway had to turn around and fight back to the penalty area.The ball hoisted into the penalty area again did not pose any threat. Goalkeeper Tili Aimujiang firmly hugged the ball, and the offensive opportunity created by captain Auderson ended.

Judging from Ajax's attack this time, they lack the main force to fight against the Chinese team's not tight defense, and they have no good way.

At least when Ajax's defensive midfielder took the ball from the outside, they didn't show how much higher they were than the Chinese players.

The duel between the Chinese team and Ajax seems to be more like a pecking at each other, and no one can move the other.

The situation was deadlocked like this, and the game came to No. 40 minutes in the first half.

The fans who were able to applaud Ajax at the beginning have not made any movement at this time, and some have left the field early.

For picky Ajax fans, this game is really boring. Ajax, which lacks the main force, cannot play a sharp attack, while the attack of the Chinese team is weak.

Just when everyone thought the first half was over, the Chinese team created a good opportunity.

In fact, it is more accurate to say that Ajax "helped" the Chinese team create this good opportunity.

The Ajax goalkeeper threw the ball to the defender. Under the pressure of the Chinese team's frontcourt players, the central defender made a mistake and passed it directly to the foot of the Chinese team's full-back Li Yuanyi.

Li Yuanyi took advantage of the opportunity to cut into the penalty area, faced the goalkeeper and pushed the lower left corner of the goal successfully. With this own goal, he assisted the Chinese team to break the deadlock on the field.

After this goal was scored, the enthusiasm of the Ajax fans on the sidelines was even more blown.Before conceding a goal, many people were still imagining that Ajax could change after the halftime break.After the conceded goal, they had no desire to continue watching.

When the referee blew the half-time whistle, more than half of the Ajax fans on the sidelines had already left.It can be said that he came in good spirits and returned in defeat.

During the intermission, because there is no locker room, the players on both sides will just make do on the sidelines to replenish water.

Leading [-]-[-] at halftime, the atmosphere of the Chinese team's bench is still good.It's better to be ahead than to be behind, and Ajax next door didn't show the frustration of falling behind at half-time.Perhaps in their eyes, they didn't take this game seriously at all, they were just "playing" with guests from afar.

Since it is "playing", there is no need to take it seriously, so when Kerry took the tactical board and explained to the players how to launch the offense in the second half, he could still hear laughter from the next door.

After the opening of the second half, the situation of the first half basically continued. The Chinese team took the initiative on the field, but they just couldn't break through Ajax's goal.

And Ajax u18 seems to be used to this kind of situation. When the Chinese team came to attack, they just cleared the ball, and their defense was "tight water".

The whole game ended in this unpleasant rhythm. With the goal of Li Yuanyi in the first half, the Chinese team beat Ajax [-]-[-].

Xu Zangyi didn't get the chance to play, but he didn't have any regrets. After experiencing the "exciting" first half, his desire to fight has dropped a lot.

Because Ajax U18 disappointed him a little. Before the game, he had been watching the game with the mentality of facing the strong. However, the performance of Ajax U18 on the court really failed Ajax. this sign.

As for what caused it, Xu Zangyi had no way of knowing.

……

Kerry was still in a good mood after the game, at least he saw a smile on his face.

After shaking hands with the players on the field one by one, he readily accepted the request for media interviews.
