Chapter 263
Naturally, Bai Xiaotian didn't know about Seviola's remarks. At this time, he was on another field with his teammates, and with Shen Xiangfu's instructions, he was facing the first opponent in the group stage, the US team.

Although Shen Xiangfu had made it clear before the game that Bai Xiaotian would not be assigned as the striker's arrow, many media and commentators also speculated about Bai Xiaotian's position.But when Bai Xiaotian actually appeared on the field, it was surprising.

Bai Xiaotian didn't start as a forward, nor did he stand in the position of right midfielder, nor did he even play as a central midfielder.Instead, he stood in the position of left midfielder and served as the main left winger.

As we all know, Bai Xiaotian is not a left-footed player.But in the usual training, Shen Xiangfu found that Bai Xiaotian's left foot skills were no less than Xu Liang and Sun Xiang.After discussing tactics with Bai Xiaotian a few times, Shen Xiangfu decisively retreated Xu Liang's position, allowing him and Sun Xiang to fight each other's main force and follow behind Bai Xiaotian.

Bai Xiaotian, who appeared on the left side, immediately aroused enthusiastic comments from the fans in front of the TV.Some people say that this is Shen Xiangfu's sudden whim and a coup.Some people also said that Shen Xiangfu made mistakes in employing people and made improper arrangements.

But no matter what is said, it is the speculation of the fans.When the game whistle sounded, they all shut their mouths and stared at the screen watching the performance of the national youth players.

In the 4th minute of the opening game, Xu Liang shot a lob from the left sideline, which was confiscated by the goalkeeper who was focused by the opponent.Gradually, the national youth team took advantage of the number of midfielders to implement a tight defense, making it impossible for the US team to organize an effective offense.It was not until the 9th minute that his forward Martino made a pass from the left and forced a corner kick, but this corner kick did not pose any threat to the National Youth League.

In the 12th minute, Qu Bo made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt. After being intercepted by the US team, he made a quick counterattack, forming a 4v3 situation in the frontcourt.Fortunately, before the opponent kicked the goal, Dewey intercepted it in time to defuse the attack.Two minutes later, China Youth team missed the penalty area on the left, and Donavan broke into the penalty area. Zhang Yaokun of Dalian Shide saved the day with a beautiful tackle behind him in time.

Before the game, the U.S. team threatened to compete "fast" with the National Youth Team. Judging from the opening 20 minutes, the speed of the U.S. team was indeed impressive.But no matter how fast, without the support of ball-handling technology, it just becomes a waste of time and time again.

In the 18th minute, Gao Ming formed a single goal in the frontcourt, but unfortunately he was slightly inferior to the opponent in speed and was blocked by the opponent's defender in time.

In the 20th minute, Gao Ming was violated by the opponent in the frontcourt. Xu Liang took a free kick around 30 meters away from the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball flew past the baseline against the crossbar!
In the 24th minute, Gao Ming tore through the defense of the US team with a beautiful pass.Qu Bo made a pass from the bottom line on the right, but was blocked by the opponent's defender.The national youth team failed to pose a threat to the opponent for two consecutive corner kicks, but basically took advantage of the field.

In the 35th minute, after receiving a direct pass from Yan Song, Hu Zhaojun took a strong shot from the front of the penalty area, and the ball was close to the post and missed!Two minutes later, after Gao Ming unloaded the throw-in ball thrown by Wang Sheng, he turned around and got rid of the opponent player, and directly shot a cold arrow with his left foot directly on the penalty area line.U.S. goalkeeper Contes subconsciously stretched out his hand and blocked the must-go ball over the crossbar. One minute later, Gao Ming passed two players in the middle and gave it to Yu Tao who was in a better position in time.

One minute before the end of the first half, Gao Ming once again won a free kick in an excellent position for the National Youth League.Xu Keham's left-footed shot was seen through by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the two teams ended the first half with a score of 1-0.

The camera kept switching to the faces of Qu Bo, Gao Ming, Xu Liang, Zhang Yaokun, Dewey, etc. The game was played halfway, and Bai Xiaotian seemed to be invisible on the court.

Although Guoqing is still in control of the situation, Bai Xiaotian's "inaction" has aroused the anger of fans across the country.

Many people scolded Bai Xiaotian for having a false name, and scolded Bai Xiaotian for not doing his best when he returned to China to play football, but more people scolded Shen Xiangfu for making mistakes in employing people and making improper arrangements.

Among the venting text messages of many fans, it was difficult for the broadcast team to find a message that could be broadcast.

"How do you feel?" Shen Xiangfu gave Bai Xiaotian a towel.

Half a year ago, Bai Xiaotian was the physical presence in the team that worried Shen Xiangfu the most, but half a year later, Bai Xiaotian played half of the game as if nothing happened.

"It's okay, Yankee is nothing special, you can't live on your feet." Bai Xiaotian answered smoothly.

"Well, it's up to you for the second half." Although Shen Xiangfu wasn't very worried, he still gave an order.

Bai Xiaotian gave a thumbs up and didn't speak any more.

While Huang Jianxiang was discussing the process of the first half of the game and the application of Bai Xiaotian, players from both sides stood on the field again and fought again in different places.

"Oh? The ball was handed over to the left, and Bai Xiaotian got the ball." Seeing such a scene, Huang Jianxiang was rarely excited.In the first half of the game, the national youth team rarely attacked from the left. In the few left attacks, Bai Xiaotian acted as a fulcrum to help Xu Liang get assists.

Looking at the guard on the opposite side, Bai Xiaotian did not hesitate to choose to take the ball and break through with the ball.

Naturally, the strong defender of the American team was not careless. He turned around and chased the ball immediately, intending to block the position first.

However, in the next second, Adams' shoulder seemed to be hit by a train, staggered twice, and was knocked away by more than two meters.

"Bai Xiaotian made a breakthrough with the ball!" Huang Jianxiang said passionately.

Bai Xiaotian weighs only over 150 kilograms, so many people ignore his strength.In addition, Bai Xiaotian had long planned to fight the opponent before the opponent caught up with the ball. Under the counterbalance, Bai Xiaotian successfully knocked the opponent away and dribbled the ball to the baseline.

"Bai Xiaotian is in the bottom, hit the ball!"

Under the gaze of Huang Jianxiang, the ball drew a beautiful arc and landed in the penalty area of ​​the US team.

Because it was spinning in the opposite direction, Countes had to stand firmly on the goal line, hoping that his teammates would clear the ball.

Although Qu Bo is fast, he is still slightly inferior in body and header.After the ball was cleared by the American defender, the fans sighed.

Huang Jianxiang also started to defend Bai Xiaotian at this time, defending Guoqing and Shen Xiangfu, saying: "This is Bai Xiaotian's first cross in this game. From the perspective of the quality of the cross, Bai Xiaotian's left foot technique is also extraordinary."

"Although Bai Xiaotian didn't do anything offensively in the first half, the number of attacks on the right side of the US team was almost zero. Because Bai Xiaotian would stand very far back when defending, we had a dense defense on the left side. Dutch football's "total defense" tactical style of play, Bai Xiaotian's fighting awareness on the defensive end is also very good. Therefore, in the first half, the US team mostly focused their offense on the center and left side, avoiding Bai Xiaotian." Just after explaining, Huang Jianxiang wiped his forehead. on the sweat.Judging from the scene, this is indeed the case, but it is up to the fans to decide whether to buy it or not. Now we can only hope that Bai Xiaotian will make contributions on the left side and work hard.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaotian's bottom cross was just the beginning.In all the subsequent offenses of Guoqing, the ball was handed over to the left, and Bai Xiaotian launched the offense.

Although the American team's right back could barely keep up with Bai Xiaotian's speed, he didn't dare to get too close to Bai Xiaotian.

If he is far away, Bai Xiaotian goes directly to the bottom to pass the ball. Although he is not his dominant foot, he can still use his left foot to make an arc at the front, middle and back when no one is marking.

But if it is close, then Bai Xiaotian will 100% choose to cut inside.

Whether it is an emergency stop and turn, or a right-angle cut, Bai Xiaotian can always use the change of rhythm to get rid of the opponent's defender under the premise of controlling the ball.He even succeeded in dribbling the ball from the double-teaming of the two opponents several times, which aroused the applause of many fans.

It's okay if it's just like this, but after the cut in, Bai Xiaotian has more choices.You can hit the goal with your right foot, or pass the ball more accurately with your right foot.

The scene was gradually controlled by Guoqing, and the center of attack was also placed on the left.

The American team replaced on the spot with a strong defensive player, who teamed up with the right back to double-team Bai Xiaotian.

Gradually, watching the opponent's defensive focus more and more on the left.Bai Xiaotian controlled the ball with a smile on his lips.

"Bai Xiaotian suddenly kicked a big kick, is it a cross?"

"No, it was a big foot transfer, and the ball just landed at Yan Song's feet on the right."

"Although Yan Song had some small flaws in stopping the ball, Bai Xiaotian's pass was just right. At this time, there was no defensive player within five meters of Yan Song!"

"Yan Song dribbled the ball into the penalty area at high speed, and the US team's defense line had no time to stop it."

"Yan Song's biography!"

"Qu Bo! The young general Qu Bo!"

"The goal has been scored!! In the 67th minute of the game, the National Youth Team finally broke through the goal of the US team. Yan Song passed from the right, and Qu Bo, who was inserted in the middle, easily pushed into the net. The National Youth Team took a 1-0 lead!"

In Huang Jianxiang's excited voice, Qu Bo flew to the camera, pointed at the lens of the camera with one hand, and cheered for the goal.

Bai Xiaotian on the other side of the court did not cross the court to participate in the celebration, but clapped his hands on the spot, turned around and returned to his position.

In his opinion, Guoqing's scoring efficiency is too low.The previous few passes should have scored goals, but Guoqing dragged the rhythm abruptly to "tactic B". How can this satisfy Bai Xiaotian?

After staying in the Eredivisie for half a season, Bai Xiaotian's vision became tricky.Although the national youth teammates are outstanding in some aspects, they are also the pride of heaven in China.But in Bai Xiaotian's opinion, they are not as good as their teammates in the winter training camp who played in the Netherlands.This strengthened Bai Xiaotian's determination to run a football school. If domestic players don't go out, they will never be able to break through the shackles.

In the end, with the unremitting efforts of the National Day team, everyone withstood the final counterattack of the US team and won the World Youth Championship with a score of 1-0.Seeing such a result, even the unreasonable trolls temporarily silenced.National Youth wins their first game, what they need is appreciation and support.For a while, countless congratulatory messages were sent to Argentina, cheering for the national youth.

In another Group C match, Ukraine thrashed Chile 4-2.Such a result made Chinese fans feel sorry for the Chilean team, but also began to worry about the National Youth League.
