Chapter 47 Exhausted

Wilshere's opponent is naturally Zhou Yi.

The Arsenal youth team initially thought they could easily grab the ball from the Chinese teenagers and launch an attack.

But the reality is that when the Chinese team has the ball in midfield, it is not so easy for them to grab their ball.

The football is passed back and forth at the feet of the Chinese team players, and sometimes it is even a continuous pass without a pause.

Although it was an inverted foot, it made the players of the Arsenal youth team feel a little exhausted.

Wilshire was among them.

Although he is an offensive player and not good at defense, it is normal for him to go up to grab the ball against a team that is much weaker than himself. But after grabbing a few times, he found that he couldn't grab the ball, and the football was passing around him...

A somewhat panting Wilshere stopped the folly after the fifteenth minute.

To be honest, this feeling should be given to their opponents.

Arsenal's football philosophy is to pass and control running, passing the ball, especially the passing and running cooperation between two or three people in a small area is the essence.

So in the past, their opponents were mobilized by their passes, when will they be messed up by their opponents?

Wilshere began to think seriously about this issue.

Soon he set his sights on No. 16 of the Chinese team.

He could see that this man was the core of the Chinese team's midfield, because all the football went to him, and all the football was passed from him.

Rather than saying that the Chinese team is exhausted in mobilizing the Arsenal youth team players, it is better to say that this person is mobilizing everyone.

He used the pass to give orders, let the players of the Chinese team run continuously on the pitch, and also let the players of the Arsenal youth team run around, like marionettes in his hands.

And all of this is achieved by him only relying on the most basic moves such as passing and running.

There is such a powerful person in the Chinese team?

Is this a mysterious master from mysterious China?

"Zhou Yi's performance is really outstanding. Thanks to him, we are now evenly matched with Arsenal!" assistant coach Xu Yang sat on the sidelines with emotion. The words "Thanks to him" were all said, which shows that Xu Yang made no secret of his appreciation and admiration for Zhou Yi.

Hao Dong was also satisfied with Zhou Yi's performance, but at the same time he was a little worried: "You can't be happy too early, Xu Zhi. Zhou Yi's physical fitness is a big problem. After the last game, he still hasn't recovered yet."

Hearing this, the excited expression on Xu Yang's face really faded a lot, and then he sighed: "Oh, it would be great if this kid received training in the professional echelon since he was a child..."

"That's hard to say, Xu Zhi. It's not like you don't know the physical fitness requirements of our domestic players. I think this kid's physical fitness can't even survive a 12-minute run. A youth team coach can take a fancy to him. In that case, maybe he has lost interest in football a long time ago. It’s fine now. He is in a place where none of us pay attention, and he is not caught by those messy people. The places polluted by things are silently sprouting and growing, and when we see him, he has already bloomed flowers for us to appreciate. How wonderful.”

"That's what I said, but I still hope he can perform better. He has such talent, so he should be seen by more people, and the flowers should bloom more beautifully."

"Take it easy, Xu Zhi. He is only seventeen years old, his physical fitness can be trained, and his strength can also be enhanced through training, but his here..." Hao Dong pointed to his brain, "It is innate. The talent that came here. He is already luckier than 99% of the people. At least he came to participate in our program. There are so many people in China who signed up for the audition, and in the end he was the only one selected. If in the end that If I am not the judge of the finals,

Maybe he just got knocked out? "

Having said this, Hao Dong suddenly smiled.

Because he thought of Zhou Yi falling asleep on the bench in such an important final!

This kid... besides a smart brain, he might also be born with a big heart!

※※※

Hao Dong’s worry is correct. Zhou Yi’s physical fitness is not good. It’s no secret within the team. He played the whole game against Dortmund. He played the whole game for the first time, and he performed very hard. , which put a lot of burden on his body.

Although it has been five days since the last match, Zhou Yi's physical fitness has not returned to the best condition.

In fact, even in the best conditions, it is difficult for him to persist for the next entire game.

The last match was because Hao Dong had no one to replace, so Zhou Yi could only be insisted on the court, and it was called to see how well he could perform when he was not physically fit. Although Zhou Yi really gave everyone a big surprise with a goal in the end, this is not a long-term solution after all.

What's more, Zhou Yi's style of play actually requires running ability, because he has to constantly look for openings on the court. To find openings, you can't use your eyes, you have to use your legs. You have to run to find them, otherwise you just see them. use.

He had to run all over the court, from one space to the next.

Even if this kind of running is not a sprint run, after 90 minutes of running, it is estimated that you will have to run more than 10,000 meters.

And Zhou Yi participated in campus football at school, playing as a striker, so he didn't need to run so much. Maybe after a 90-minute game, he could run at most two kilometers to be considered diligent-you know, Chinese professional The average running distance of players in the Chinese Super League is only about 7,000 meters per game, and some players even only run more than 3,000 meters per game. In the current Chinese domestic football, there are only a handful of players who can run an average of 10,000 meters per game.

With Zhou Yi's current physical fitness, it is really difficult to last for too long. In fact, not only Zhou Yi, other players also encountered physical problems more or less, but their performance was not as obvious as Zhou Yi. Be lazy, never walk if you can stand still, never run if you can walk...

Only Zhou Yi is constantly moving, so his physical energy consumption is more.

After 30 minutes, the Chinese team's control in the midfield began to plummet, and the Arsenal youth team could finally control the absolute upper hand.

And their offensive threat also arises.

Sun Pan took the low block and tried his best to stop Arsenal's attack. Guo Nu also received a yellow card at the end of the first half.

For a while, there was a lot of jitters in front of the Chinese team.

Hao Dong also stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. He looked down at the watch on his wrist. Forty minutes had passed since the first half.

Then he raised his head and stared nervously at the field.

When the team was suppressed by Arsenal, Zhou Yi disappeared on the court. He really couldn't play a role in defense. Once he lost his physical fitness, he would be powerless in offense.

Hao Dong pursed his lips, although he was not very willing, but he could only be replaced during the intermission...

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 0:0.

This result made it difficult for the players of the Arsenal youth team to accept. They couldn't believe that they failed to score in the first half!

You know, they thought they could end the game in the first half...

In stark contrast to them were the Chinese players. The first half ended 0:0, which made them very happy.

After all, in the last fifteen minutes of the first half, they were completely beaten by the Arsenal youth team, and they were lucky not to concede a goal.

It was a draw with no goals conceded!

So when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, some players of the Chinese team clenched their fists and waved excitedly. Everyone was celebrating the first half.

Only Zhou Yi stood still, neither walking off the field nor celebrating.

He just stood there with his hands down and his back slightly hunched, motionless.

Yang Muge came over and grabbed Zhou Yi's arms and shoulders: "Is it okay?"

Zhou Yi turned back and smiled at him, but didn't speak because he didn't have the strength to speak. He was so tired that he wanted to stand here, and even taking a step felt as if he was going to use up all the remaining strength in his body.

Yang Muge could see that Zhou Yi was too tired to walk, so he supported Zhou Yi and walked towards the sidelines.

Sun Pan also ran over from the door and asked with concern, "Cramp?"

Zhou Yi didn't have the energy to speak, but just shook his head.

"It should be just tired." Yang Muge guessed.

Zhou Yi nodded.

"I'll do it!" Sun Pan took over Zhou Yi from Yang Mu's singer. His height and physique of nearly 1.9 meters helped Zhou Yi walk like holding a chicken.

In the dressing room, Arsenal's youth team manager, Steve Bould, was very unhappy with his team's performance in the first half.

"You are Arsenal! Although you are not yet eighteen years old, you are wearing Arsenal jerseys. When people see this jersey, the first thing people think of is not that you are a youth team, but that you are a youth team. 'Ah, this is Arsenal'! It's unbelievable that we didn't score a single goal in the first half! Did you sleep well last night, lads?"

Everyone who was scolded by the head coach lowered their heads. In fact, even if the head coach didn't scold them, they felt uncomfortable.

This first half was really bad.

Everyone was secretly working hard in their hearts. In the second half, they must score more goals for their opponents, and they must use a hearty victory to wash away this shame!

At the same time, in the locker room of the Chinese team, Hao Dong was making personnel arrangements for the second half. He replaced Zhou Yi who was exhausted.

Everyone could tell at a glance that Zhou Yi would not be able to persist in finishing the game.

Liang Qiqi was very proud secretly - of course he didn't dare to show this emotion - he didn't expect that Zhou Yi only persisted for half of the time, so there were still 45 minutes left for him, and he wanted to seize the 45 minutes Opportunity to express yourself well.
