Chapter 9
On Saturday afternoon, on the intramural football field at Bakken, there was an interscholastic league game going on.
Since the two teams participating today are both Almere teams, they have attracted many fans from the city and surrounded this football field without stands.
The two participating teams are the host Bakken Academy against the veteran team Omnibus.
Bakken Academy is a famous private school in Almere, but sports is not a strong point. It was not until the rise of the new Almere club in the city that Bakken Academy began to fully cooperate with the other party's youth training, with the help of Almere's youth training. Training to improve the strength of the school team.
But Almere has only risen in less than seven years. Even if the youth training cooperates with Ajax, it has not yet become a climate. Instead, it is Omnibus. As an old school, the school team has always been strong, and this In a game, the opponent consciously focused on marking the midfielder Henk Dimer of Bakken Academy.
As the star of hope of the Almere youth team, Henk Dimel is known as the first player who is expected to enter the Ajax youth training camp. His strength is outstanding in Almere, and his role is obvious on the field.
However, under Omnibus's focus, the support provided by his teammates was not enough, leaving him in a dilemma of being alone and difficult to perform.
On the contrary, Omnibus played very active on the left, tearing apart the defense of Bakken School again and again, and quickly used the speed of a left player in the first half to break through the defense and pass. In the middle, the high center in the penalty area quickly followed, pulled the green onions in front of the goal, and scored a header from close range.
After the goal was conceded, Bakken Academy played in a mess, especially Henk Dimel, who was a little impatient on the field, made frequent mistakes, and was caught by Omnibus again and again to counterattack.
The first half ended with a goal from Omnibus.
The Bakken Academy players who walked off the court looked very indignant, obviously dissatisfied with the result of the first half.
As a rookie who entered the roster for the first time, Yang Yang was mentally prepared not to play, but he was paying attention to the situation throughout the game, especially the opponent's two players on the left.
Omnibus plays a four-four-two formation, and the tactics are relatively simple. After the ball reaches the frontcourt, he basically points the ball from the middle to the left, and uses the speed of the left midfielder to hit the defense line and then cross to create a threat.
The problem at the Bakken Academy is that the main right back Nick was injured and absent, the substitute players were not strong enough, showed timidity on the spot, and did not perform at the level they should have. Only then was Omnibus seized the opportunity and kept hitting, Frequent threats.
Almere head coach John Repp also came to the scene this game, but he was more on the outside, and the assistant coach Dick Van Poole was still in command. He also seemed to be aware of the problem. At halftime Called all the players and rearranged the defense on the right.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought about making a substitution.

"Why do you want to watch this game?"
Among the fans watching from the sidelines, Truss Opamel asked the middle-aged Dutchman beside him strangely.
He has been deliberately staying away from football for nearly half a year, and he hasn't watched even a single football game in the past six months, but Truss was surprised that half a year later, the first game he watched turned out to be an amateur one No more amateur intercollegiate competitions.
Why?
The middle-aged Holland is still looking blankly at the coaching area of the home team in the distance. Van Poole has called everyone over. Behind him, John Repp is also helping out with ideas. It seems that this old friend is also Can't sit still.
Truss has long been accustomed to this attitude of her boyfriend, rolled her eyes, and turned her head away.
There were three Chinese standing next to her. From the young girl's words, Truss knew that they were the family of the Chinese boy who was training in the skateboard area. This game was specially here to cheer him on, but the boy always kept his feet on the ground. Sit on the bench.
Judging from the current situation, this game is not likely to be played.
The starting main force can't be defended, and it's even more difficult to replace a player with poorer basic skills and strength.
But at this moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Truss mind, could it be him?
"You came to watch this game for him?" Truss was a little surprised.
The middle-aged Holland neither admitted nor denied, "I am concerned about our bet."
But this is too perfunctory, Truss won't believe it at all, and she is even more curious.
In the end, what is so attractive about this Chinese teenager that he deserves to come to watch his game?
"You will definitely be disappointed, he shouldn't be in this game." Trus shook his head.
But unexpectedly, the middle-aged Holland still said lightly: "The game is not over yet, who knows?"
Truss rolled his eyes again, full of helplessness, but somewhat joyful in his heart.
He finally started to cheer up.

The game resumed in the second half.
Omnibus still adhered to the strategy of the first half. The midfielder focused on marking Henk Dimel, and when he counterattacked, he kept catching the right wing of Bakken Academy, which was a bit unreasonable. .
Whether it was John Rip or Dick Vampel, they felt a little helpless about it, but there was nothing they could do.
The weak right side of his side just collided with the gun of the opponent's strong left side. If Omnibus didn't know how to make good use of it, it would be a strange thing.
"They've clearly figured us out." Dick Vample shook his head gloomily.
Although it is only a youth team, and it is an inter-school game that no one pays attention to, but in the end, he coaches independently, and naturally he does not want to lose.
But looking at the situation on the field and his own bench, who else can he trust?
Just when he was full of depression, the Omnibus player on the field stole the ball in midfield. Henk Dimel failed to pass the ball in time, and he didn't immediately counterattack after the steal. After the opponent dribbled the ball to instigate a counterattack, it was once again passed to the left.
What happened next was a replica of the conceded goal in the first half. Omnibus made a cross from the left. The high forward in the penalty area grabbed the first spot and headed the goal, but this time it hit the defender. , but was hit by the opponent's striker.
Zero to two, Bakken Academy is over.

Although he didn't play a game, it was the first time he sat on the bench, so Yang Yang naturally hoped that the team would have good luck.
Maybe the team won the ball, and the head coach will arrange himself to be included in the big roster in the next game?
Unexpectedly, when the team encountered a strong enemy in the same city, they were beaten to the point of being helpless.
Look at the group of teammates on the court who have ravaged him horribly on weekdays, but at this moment, they can't show the strength level of the usual training ground, especially Henk Dimer, who is more like a blind man on the field. The headless flies that are running around, where can there still be the slightest demeanor of the number one star in the team?
When he was in China before, Yang Yang was the number one player in the team, and he didn't feel anything yet, but now sitting on the bench, he suddenly realized that even if he was as strong as Henk Dimmel, when he fell into a solitary situation. At that time, no matter how strong the strength is, it will not be able to play to the level.
After all, football is a game of eleven people, and it is impossible for one person to play eleven.
Not being able to play the game, but it does not mean that Yang Yang is not studying.
Before the game, Lao Bing assigned him a task, that is, to observe the game situation attentively, and think about three questions at the same time. If it were me, how would I run? How to pick up? What should I do after receiving it?
These three questions seem to be simple, but combined with the huge amount of information and the ever-changing game situation, even if Yang Yang is assisted by God's vision, he is still as big as a fight, and he is often overwhelmed. In the end, he can only focus on the two players on the right.
It is precisely because of this that he noticed that the right back who came off the bench in this game played so badly that he didn't even have half of the level in his usual training.

The game went on for more than an hour, and Omnibus led the home team Bakken Academy 2-0, which was a big blow to the home team. On the contrary, the visiting team was full of morale, and it seemed to wash the Bakken Academy with great vigor.
But just when everyone was worried about whether Bakken Academy would be defeated like a mountain, another accident happened on the field.
After defending the opponent through a pass, and competing with the opponent's left midfielder for speed, the Bakken Academy right back who was chasing after grabbed the ball, but collided with the opponent's player, and fell out and never again. Not afraid from the grass.
The fans on the sidelines were in an uproar.
The referee quickly suspended the game and signaled the team doctor to enter the field. Not long after, the stretcher also entered the field and carried the right back of Bakken Academy out of the field. The initial diagnosis was sprain.
House seemingly endless rain.
The fans who supported Bakken Academy on the sidelines shook their heads in disappointment, obviously despairing of this game.
Both right backs are injured. Facing Omnibus' strong left, how can we play this game?
Dick Vample was equally distressed, the frowning Dutchman clenching his fists hard, knowing he had to make a decision in the shortest time possible.
Substitution, must be replaced.
But the point is, who to replace?
Change to a defender?
Then this game will be lost, and everyone will feel that his decision is conservative.
Dick Vampel glanced across the bench, his eyes full of tangle, and neither one was appropriate.
In the end, he set his sights on Yang Yang.
The Chinese teenager has made a lot of progress recently, especially on the defensive end. He has repeatedly made eye-catching tackles, and he is very physically fit and fast. Let him go up at this time, maybe the rest It stopped for half an hour.
Thinking of this, Dick Van Poole gritted his teeth, using the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and immediately pointed to Yang Yang.
"Yang, take off your clothes and play right back."
"Ah?" Yang Yang couldn't believe his ears, he stood up from his seat and looked at Dick Van Poole.
Want him to come off the bench at this time?
"I believe in you, Young, you will be able to do it," Dick Vampel encouraged.
But even he himself felt very pale and powerless, and Yang Yang didn't believe it.
"In short, after going up, you don't have to think about anything, just do one thing well, that is, defend, stare at the opponent's left midfielder, and you can handle other things yourself."
After speaking, Dick Van Poole patted Yang Yang on the shoulder hard and pushed him to the sidelines.
Yang Yang's head was still dizzy, he didn't expect that he was going to play.
It wasn't until he stood on the sidelines and saw his uncle's family of three beckoning at him across the court, shouting cheers, that he smiled slightly and his mind became clear.
Yeah, it's finally his turn to play.
