Chapter 17: Against Juventus Youth Team!

Breaking out the conflict with the local gang is a decision made by Wang Qi after careful consideration. Instead of surging undercurrents, it is better to expose it to the sun.

After returning to the dormitory, Wang Qi told his roommate about the bet.

The club also took some effort to arrange dormitories. The dormitory where Wang Qi is located does not belong to the local gang forces, but all came from the youth training camps of other clubs.

As long as a team has a strong force, others will choose to join in order to compete, and Wang Qi chooses to join in this dormitory.

"What should I do?"

Ferrario looked at Wang Qi with concern. The local gang was powerful and they were almost monopolized by them in the middle and frontcourt.

Ferrario has been training in a small town in northern Italy since he was a child. He signed with Florence a year ago to become a member of the youth team.

When he came to the Florence youth training camp, although he was Italian, he was still excluded.

"I don't have a great chance of playing the day after tomorrow, and I am a central defender, so I don't have much help to you."

Ferrario turned his head to look at his teammates beside him and saw hope: "Paponi, you are the full-back, and you have the opportunity to support the king!"

Paponi nodded and said, "As long as I am on the court, I will definitely help the king!"

"But... I'm also a substitute, I don't know if there is any chance to play..."

Ferrario turned around and glanced at other roommates, his face dimmed. Except for Wang Qi, everyone else in the dormitory was basically substitute.

The acquired opponent is the Juventus Youth Team, which is determined to defend the title. Fiorentina will definitely send all the main players to play, and their chances of playing are slim.

Wang Qi patted Ferrario's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the matter on the court, I have a way to solve the goal."

Well, now I can only expect miracles. Wang has such strong ability to grab points, maybe he can succeed...

In desperation, the teammates had no choice but to believe in Wang Qi, but they had no idea.

...

Time flies very quickly, and it is time to play against Juventus youth team in a blink of an eye. The most beneficial thing for this game to Fiorentina is to play at home.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, players from both sides came to the game venue to warm up. The atmosphere of the Juventus youth team players was relaxed. They beat Fiorentina twice last season, giving them great confidence.

On the contrary, the atmosphere for the Fiorentine youth team was a little nervous.

The assistant said in Carmelo's ear: "The players are a little nervous..."

Carmelo thought for a while and said: "The first game of the season is usually difficult to play, and I hope they can quickly adapt to the atmosphere of the game."

After the warm-up, the players were surrounded by Carmelo.

Carmero announced the starting lineup first, and Wang Qi, who was given high expectations, started.

Wang Qi's roommates did not start, all of them were on the bench.

"At the beginning of the game, you must press on the midfield and frontcourt to disrupt their rhythm!"

Carmelo began to arrange tactics: "After getting the ball in the middle and backcourt, transfer the football to the frontcourt as fast as possible. Our tactic today is defensive counterattack!"

What is the essence of Italian football?

Of course it is a defensive counterattack.

So when it comes to defensive counterattacks, the players did not change any expressions on their faces and accepted them happily.

"Rubinho, if you have the chance to hit him directly!"

Carmelo looked at Captain Rubinho and said, "We must make the most of the speed of the king."

Rubinho had a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He knew the bet between Wang Qi and Petrika. As a core member of the local gang, he certainly had to stand on Petrika's side.

But as a player and as the captain on the field, he should follow the tactical arrangements of the head coach.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Carmelo asked seriously.

"No problem! Coach, no problem!"

Rubinho answered quickly.

At half past four, the starting players of both sides stood on the sidelines to prepare for the field. When they stepped into the court, Wang Qi took a deep breath, his eyes full of firmness.

"Beep!..."

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began. The Fiorentina youth team, who served the ball first, launched an attack on the Juventus youth team.

Under Juventus' strong blockade in the middle and backcourt, Fiorentina failed to attack and conceded the ball in the frontcourt.

"Press!"

Carmelo, standing in the command area, shouted at the players in the midfield and frontcourt, and the players of the midfield and frontcourt of the Fiorentina youth team immediately woke up and pressed wildly.

The effect of pressing quickly appeared. The Fiorentine youth team grabbed the football again near the middle circle and immediately launched an attack from the left. Wang Qi quickly stepped forward and formed an encirclement in the middle.

However, the player who took the ball did not make a cross, but suddenly cut inside and shot, and the football went above the crossbar.

This way of handling the ball is tactical, and it has won applause from the Fiorentina youth team.

The game started again soon, and the Fiorentina youth team continued to implement the head coach's tactical arrangements in the middle and frontcourt and carried out crazy pressing.

Even the powerful Juventus youth team faced the opponent's crazy pressing, they frequently made passes and catch mistakes, and the game turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill.

The head coach of the Juventus youth team, standing in the command area, frowned slightly, and the assistant came to him and whispered: "Or what if we change our playing style and look for the forward with a big foot in the backcourt?"

The head coach frowned even more. He changed his playing style just as the game started?

Will this change the players' minds?

"Look at it again...I want to see how long they can last for this style of play."

The frontcourt pressing is a severe test for the physical fitness of the midfield players. As long as Juventus withstands the opening period, as the physical fitness of the Fiorentina youth team declines, the initiative on the court will be transferred to the Juventus youth team.

The Fiorentina youth team gained an overwhelming advantage in momentum, and they launched waves of offensives, with the sound of cannons in front of Juventus.

However, the defending champions are strong. Even in such a passive situation, their defense line is still not panic, and they have disintegrated the attack of the Fiorentine youth team again and again, but their offense is not opened.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the Fiorentine youth team had a total of seven shots, while Juventus had only two shots.

Wang Qi naturally did not get a shot, and his teammates did not fail to pass the ball to him. After all, it was too obvious that he did that.

However, after Wang Qi took the ball, he found that he had no chance to shoot at all, so he could only pass the football to his teammates with better position.

Half an hour later, the physical fitness of the Fiorentina youth team players began to decline, and Carmelo issued a new order: to lift the frontcourt press and conduct a defensive counterattack.

The Juventus youth team finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize the offense in an orderly manner.

The head coach of the Juventus youth team, standing in the command area, breathed a long sigh. He looked at Carmero not far away and laughed. Carmero, your team's physical fitness has begun to decline, and I will take over the next time in the first half!
Chapter completed!
