There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 197

Guangzhou, on a training field of Hengda Football School.

The players of the Chinese National Junior Team consciously stood in a row, waiting for the coach's arrangement.

Assistant coach Shi Zhe said: "The next step is to fight in groups. Players whose names are read, please step forward. Fang Zhi, Chen Ting..."

The names of the players in the group that Shi Zhe read out were almost the same as the main lineup that participated in the Asian Junior Championships at the beginning of the year:

Forwards: Wei Yi, Xu Zhou, Liu Binren;

Midfielders: Lu Chige, Chen Ting, Fang Zhi;
Defenders: Bovas, Jiang Yicai, Chocolate, Wang Congjun;

Goalkeeper: Li Shengrong.

After Shi Zhe finished reading his name, he distributed yellow training vests to these players, which symbolized the main position.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhe selected a team of players as the opponents of the "main player group" against the group:
Forwards: Ao Tai, Toxing;
Midfielders: Meng Hantao, Wu Yu, Cai Zhiyu, Zhu Feng;
Defenders: Han Fei, Chen Martin, Wei Lang, Nimuti;

Goalkeeper: Wang Geng.

In the two confrontational starting lineups, except for Chen Ting, who gradually gained a foothold in the Asian Junior Championships with his own strength, none of the other six players selected for the Friendship Team played!
However, the Guangzhou Hengda team, which is also a major exporter of players for the national youth team, has all its players on the field.

It can be seen that although the National Youth Team has recruited many players from the Friendship Team, it is only Shi Zhe's tentative "adventure". For the head coach Zheng Zhi, they still need to make little efforts to show convincing performance in training. The performance "conquered" the head coach!

Players like Amber, Liu Yiao, and Xu Mingdong were frustrated when they heard that they didn't play.

Shi Zhe noticed, approached and comforted: "Don't worry, every player will have a chance to show themselves, take your time."

"Hmm..." Amber, Liu Yiao and other young players nodded.

Then, except for Shi Zhe and the selected two groups of opposing players, Zheng Zhi and the other players walked to the bench on the sidelines of the football field to watch the game.

on the football field.

The players of the two teams in the group stand in their respective positions.

"Wow!" Shi Zhe whistled, and the group confrontation began!
First, kick-off by the opposing team.

Ao Tai passed the ball to his striker partner Tohsing, and Tohsing passed it back to the team's midfielder Cai Zhiyu...

Since it was the first time to play football together, the players in the confrontation group passed the ball very slowly and seemed very unfamiliar.

Although the players in the main group haven't played together for half a year, they have the experience of competing in the Asian Minor Championship together. They get to know each other very quickly, and they are at the same pace...

"Snapped!"

Wu Yu, a midfielder in the confrontation group, attempted a through ball, but was stopped by Chen Ting in the main group with a tackle!
After shoveling the ball, Chen Ting got up quickly.

Seeing this, teammate Wei Yi started to move forward——

Chen Ting saw it at a glance and made a long pass to Wei Yi on the left!

The opponent team player marking Wei Yi is his teammate Nimuti in the Hengda Tigers!
Nimuti knew Wei Yi's characteristics very well, and knew that if Wei Yi got the ball, it would be very difficult to deal with, so he immediately jumped high and barely pushed the ball out of the sideline.

sidelines.

Seeing this scene, head coach Zheng Zhi couldn't help nodding and boasting: "Well, Nimuti's handling is very stable, and he has a strong competitiveness in the right back position."

Back on the field.

Wei Yi quickly picked up the ball and threw it to his teammate Lu Chige.

Lu Chige is also Wei Yi's teammate in the Hengda Tigers. His position in the club is also behind Wei Yi. He is responsible for filling Wei Yi's position and delivering "cannonballs". The cooperation between the two is very tacit.

Lu Chige stopped the ball, and Wei Yi quickly slanted behind Nimuti.

Lu Chige then kicked a pass to Wei Yi's feet!

Wei Yi unloaded the ball outside his instep and dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

"Hey!"

While Wei Yi was adjusting with the ball, central defender Wei Lang of the opposing team appeared to make up for him, and made a big-footed clearance, destroying Wei Yi's attack!

The football was cleared to the frontcourt of the confrontation group, and high center Ao Tai actively ran to chase the ball.

Chen Ting came over to fill his seat.

Ao Tai was tall and long-legged, he took the lead to flick the ball and jumped over Chen Ting!

Chen Ting was passed head-on.

"Strike!" Seeing Ao Tai's handling of the ball, the players on the sidelines couldn't help but praise.

Ao Tai continued to move forward with the ball. After breaking through Chen Ting, he was already facing the central defender of the main team...

However, due to the lack of support from his teammates in the frontcourt, Ao Tai had to slow down his offensive pace.

At this moment, Chen Ting, who was chasing back at high speed, followed up and stabbed from the side, destroying Ao Tai's possession of the ball!

Unknowingly, the pace of the game between the main group and the confrontation group has accelerated a lot. The two groups of players come and go, attacking and defending each other.

As for the substitute players on the sidelines, seeing the more exciting the game on the field, the more worried they would not have the chance to play...

"Shut up!"

Shi Zhe blew the whistle, and the first quarter ended.

Two groups of players walked to the sidelines to relax.

The head coach Zheng Zhi and his assistant Shi Zhe were discussing the performance of the players.

This time, the National Youth Team has about half a month of training time, and then the Four Nations Invitational Tournament will start immediately.

In the past half month, the first task of Zheng Zhi and Shi Zhe is to determine the main lineup and improve the technical and tactical level of the players as soon as possible.

In front of the bench on the sidelines.

Players who did not appear in the first quarter stood up, walked into the field, and started passing training in twos and threes.

They were very impatient who didn't get a chance to play, especially Amber from the Friendship Team...

"Damn it, why doesn't Brother Zhi let me play? I must show a convincing performance and let my parents recognize me as a football player. Please, Brother Zhi, give me a chance..." An Poe thought as he passed the ball.

And the discussion between Zheng Zhi and Shi Zhe has come to fruition, walking towards the players...

"Hey, the assembly is over." Zhang Chao said when he saw it.

Amber and other players walked over expectantly.

"Liu Yiao, in the second quarter, you go to the main team and replace Li Shengrong! Chen Jiexi, you go to the confrontation team to play in the middle and replace Wu Yu! Yu Sheng, you go to the main team to play the left center back and replace Jiang Yicai!" Shi Zhe arranged .

Hearing that she was not there, Amber's enthusiastic mood just now cooled down instantly as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

Zhang Chao, who did not get the chance to play like Amber, patted Amber on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother An, don't worry, just trust the coach's arrangement. It is enough for us to be ourselves."

Amber looked at Zhang Chao, nodded and said, "Yes!"

The two friends encouraged each other and worked hard together as newcomers in the national youth team.

In the next half month of training camp, Zhang Chao gradually got the opportunity, but Amber was still "nailed" to the bench by Zheng Zhi, and became the "water dispenser keeper" of the national youth team...

Amber's psychological pressure is increasing. Thanks to Chen Ting and Zhang Chao, the friends of the Friendship Team, who have been carefully enlightening and encouraging, Amber did not sink in this, but instead faced each day with a positive attitude. training.

期间，山东WF那边，递补参加WF杯的友谊之队已经踢过两场比赛了，分别以1比6和0比5的大比分输给了日本的鹿岛鹿角U18梯队和罗马尼亚的布加勒斯特星U18梯队。

Although the team is not well-organized, the Friendship Team has overage players participating and has been taken care of to the greatest extent, but it still failed to escape the fate of "defeat" and created the worst result for a domestic team to participate in the WF Cup.

Shi Jie and Quan Weilong also realized through the game that there is still a big gap between the Friendship Team club and the world's established clubs, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Come to the day of the first game of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament.

Guangzhou Tianhe Football Stadium.

The match between the Chinese national team and the Canadian national team is about to begin...
