Chapter 81 Look Down On
After the side-picking ceremony, players from both sides stood in their respective positions, and the game was about to begin.
As I said before, the games where Chinese teenagers challenge the various youth teams are not closed, especially the match against the Barcelona youth team. The venue is on the outdoor training ground of La Masia, which is next to On the road, there is no wall nearby, so you can forget it at a glance. There is also the Camp Nou next to it, so if anyone wants to visit the Nou Camp, they can also see what is happening here.
Although it is a little far away from the training ground of the first team, not many people will come, but it does not mean that no one will come.
In this game, some people surrounded La Masia's training ground.
Some of them are the parents of the La Masia Youth B team players, and some of them are just passing by and stop to watch the game.
Others... are scouts from all over the place.
Some of them originally wanted to observe the young La Masia players, but they just happened to have a match.
Others came specifically for Chinese football teenagers. Among them, Dortmund's scout Tim Kiester was the first to follow and observe the Chinese team, followed by Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and other players. team scout.
And many of them observed Zhou Yi and He Ying.
He Ying is the top scorer of the Chinese team and has attracted much attention as the person who can score the most goals. Zhou Yi is the team's assist leader.
Only this time, when Tim Kiester was watching the game from the sidelines, he felt a little uneasy.
Although Zhou Yi had reached a franchise agreement with Dortmund, it was a gentleman's agreement, and there was nothing left on paper, it all depended on the two sides talking.
If Zhou Yi performed well in this game, it might also attract Barcelona's attention.
Kist didn't care much about the competition from other teams. But that would change if Barcelona entered the fray.
If Zhou Yi hadn't withstood Barcelona's offensive, he seemed to have nothing to do if he backtracked.
You must know that Barcelona spares no expense in recruiting talents. Messi suffered from dwarfism and was considered unsuitable for football. Barcelona not only paid for Messi to see a doctor, but also brought Messi's family to Barcelona, gave Messi's father a job, and bought their family a house in Barcelona.
This shows how much they value talent.
If they also come up with similar conditions to attract Zhou Yi... Can Zhou Yi stand it?
After all, Dortmund did not promise that as long as Zhou Yi comes to Dortmund, the Dortmund club will solve the problem of Zhou Yi's family coming to Germany, buy them a house in Germany, and arrange jobs for Zhou Yi's parents. can be solved together...
Therefore, Kist is conflicted in his heart now. On the one hand, he hopes that Zhou Yi will perform well, and prove his vision with practical actions, and prove that Dortmund did not choose the wrong person.
But on the other hand, he doesn't want Zhou Yi to perform too well. If it is too good, it will attract the attention of more teams, especially to attract the behemoth of Barcelona. The competition is fierce and the temptations increase. Zhou Yi can fill the sky. asking price.
Among those scouts was Alan Powell, the Arsenal scout who was supposed to have left Barcelona. After all, the door to the introduction of Zhou Yi has been closed.
But he still wanted to hold on. He wants to observe Zhou Yi's game for the last time. If he still performs well and can't be at a disadvantage against the Barcelona youth team, he wants to send the video of this game back to the club, and finally fight for it. Let's see if the club can make an exception and introduce this midfield genius.
After all, Powell has been observing since the Chinese team's game against the Chelsea youth team. He has never lost every game and knows Zhou Yi's ability very well. If just such a good player cannot be brought in because of the club's dogma,
That's such a shame.
In addition to these people, Barcelona, La Masia technical director Garcia also accompanied the scene to watch the game.
Dozens of people surrounded the small training ground. This was already the game with the largest number of spectators for the Chinese teenagers in Europe for two months.
In this way, the game started under the watchful eyes of so many people.

La Masia won the right to pick the side, so the right to kick off fell to the feet of the Chinese teenagers.
After the whistle sounded, He Ying passed the football to Zhang Tao, and Zhang Tao turned around and passed the football to Zhou Yi outside the middle circle.
After Zhou Yi got the ball, he didn't pass the football out in a hurry, but turned around and took it back.
After the formation dispersed, he passed the football back to central defender Guo Nu.
While Guo Nu was catching the ball, Zhou Yi was shouting: "Pass the ball to Li Liang!"
Guo Nu passed the football on when he heard the words.
When Li Liang received the ball, the players of the La Masia Youth Team B had basically rushed forward, so Zhou Yi asked Li Liang to pass the football to him.
When Zhou Yi received the ball, the La Masia Youth B team players didn't even come up to defend him.
It can be seen that they have never studied the opponents of this game at all.
From the players to the coaches, they may feel that there is no research value for a team that was once defeated by them 12:0. They can win by playing casually, and there is no need to specially arrange any tactics.
If you still study your opponents and watch game videos, then it would be too much of a fuss.
Therefore, they missed the opportunity to learn about this team, and naturally they would not treat Zhou Yi any special.
When Zhou Yi took the ball, the players of La Masia Youth B team were watching from a distance. They didn't come up to press, Zhou Yi could calmly catch the ball and turn around.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yi smiled—he really looked down on us.
But it's good, I just hope you look down on us.
Off the court, some people also shook their heads after seeing this scene.
If Zhou Yi is not closely guarded and forced... Maybe La Masia will suffer a bit in this game?
Seeing that no one came up to force him, Zhou Yi simply dribbled the ball forward.
It wasn't until he was almost in the middle circle that someone came up to guard him.
Zhou Yi knew this person because he had played against him many times in the system. His name was Bakari Mendes. But the last time the two sides played against each other, he was not there, because he was still a member of U16, and he was selected for this game.
Zhou Yi was very aware of this person's playing characteristics, so he didn't fight with him. When he saw him coming up, he passed the football.
Passed it to Yang Muge who was supporting him next to him.
Yang Muge is a defensive midfielder who is in charge of defense, but when the team is attacking, he is responsible for responding to Zhou Yi and serving as a wall for Zhou Yi.
When Zhou Yi encounters the opponent's pressing and really can't find a good point to take the ball, he can pass the football to Yang Muge who is closest to him, and then run away from the defense by himself, and then catch the ball from Yang Muge.
This mode has been played very proficiently by the Chinese team in the previous few games. In other words, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge have already cooperated very skillfully.
If La Masia has seen their game video, they will definitely take precautions against this.
But when Yang Muge got the ball, no one from the La Masia Youth B team went up to press. They just stood in front of Yang Muge to prevent him from dribbling the ball. They didn't care much about his passing.
Perhaps they feel that in terms of passing ability, the team in front of them is far from the people from La Masia. So let them pass if they want to pass.

Less than a minute after the start of the match, Hao Dong knew that the opponent must have underestimated the enemy just by the two screens shown now.
But this is quite normal, no one will pay attention to an opponent who lost 0:12 to them before.
This kind of contempt would certainly not make people feel comfortable, but Hao Dong and Zhou Yi had the same idea, hoping that the other party would look down on them a little more, and belittle the enemy a little more.
In that case, the Chinese team will have a chance.
※※※
Yang Muge took the ball, Zhou Yi continued to push forward.
Seeing that Zhou Yi got rid of the defense, Yang Muge passed the football over.
Zhou Yi caught the ball again, and he had already crossed the center line. The La Masia youth team players who had been rushing up to grab the ball before began to return to defense.
But their return to defense is not fast. It belongs to the state that although people are returning to defense, their hearts are on offense, and they are always ready to counterattack. So they returned to defense with three-point strength.
Zhou Yi knew that at this time, it was not the time to pass the cross slowly, but to pass decisively. Although the risk of direct transmission is very high, as long as it succeeds at this time, you can reap high rewards.
So he adjusted the football, pretending to pass the ball to the side, but twisted his body when passing the ball, and pushed the football directly to the rib space between the two La Masia youth B team defenders!
He Ying suddenly started forward, intending to catch Zhou Yi's through ball.
But he was a little late, someone reacted faster than him!
La Masia Youth B team's starting central defender Mark Munesa in this game!
He fell directly to the ground and shoveled, and poked Zhou Yi's through ball with his toe. The football flew out of the sideline, and He Ying was almost there. Beautiful pass.
Zhou Yi's attention was not on He Ying's thumb, but on Munesa.
Although the central defender is one year younger than himself, his reaction just now was really fast.
In order to allow He Ying to catch the through ball, he didn't dare to use too much force, and in the end, Munessa took the opportunity to make a clearance...
The space was still not big enough, and the ball he passed was not far from Munessa, which gave Munessa a chance to tackle.
But this is a through pass. Of course a through pass can create a very deadly chance in a game, but why don't you just use a through pass? Because the risk of direct passing is also great, the success rate is not high, and mistakes are prone to occur. So when to take risks and when to be conservative in the game, this is a test of the ability of a player or even a team.
When it’s time to take risks, you must take risks decisively, don’t hesitate, and don’t hesitate because you are afraid of making mistakes or losing the ball, otherwise you may miss very good scoring opportunities.
And when it's time to be safe, you must never hand over the ball easily. You must be patient and meticulous, safe and reliable, and foolproof.

Off the field, the Chinese team sighed regretfully when they saw Zhou Yi's through ball being blocked by Munessa with his toes.
There was a burst of cheers from the audience of parents of the La Masia Youth B team.
Someone was chanting: "Little Puyol!"
This is Munesa's nickname. As the captain of Barcelona's echelons at all levels, Mark Munesa is talented and attracts attention. Joel.

He Yingwei was annoyed that he didn't receive the ball. He knew that Zhou Yi wanted to use the start of the game when the opponent didn't pay attention to them, so he launched a fast break, trying to score a goal and take the lead.
So this offensive opportunity is very valuable. If you fail to fight and attract the attention of the other party, then you will be in trouble.
But Zhou Yi raised his hand and shouted to He Ying and other teammates: "It's okay, let's do it again!"
When the attack failed, he immediately comforted and encouraged his teammates. From this point of view, he seemed more like a captain than He Ying...

PS, I went to play a game last night. This is the first time I have played football after a year in Beijing.
As a goalkeeper, I always stay on the field under the rule that if I lose a goal, I will leave the field. No matter whether I am standing in front of my teammates from the red team, blue team or yellow team, I will not fall down!
(It’s just that my back hurts so much… I need to exercise…)
For the sake of my low back pain, can you give some recommendation tickets to comfort me?
