At 16:30 in the afternoon, with the referee's whistle, the match between Atletico Madrid U17 Youth Team and Mallorca U17 Youth Team in the seventh round of the 2011/2012 Spanish U17a League officially started at the training ground of Atletico Madrid U17 Youth Team.
At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid took advantage of their home court advantage and launched a strong attack on Mallorca amidst the cheers of the fans on site, hoping to score a goal by taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold.
In the 3rd minute, Qiao Anchen received center Wodehouse's knock back from the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area, about 13 meters away from the goal, and shot the ball without stopping.
Unfortunately, the moment he kicked the ball out, a flying shoe appeared in front of the ball. Mallorca defender Beaton Arnold made a timely flying tackle in the penalty area to intercept and successfully caught up with Joan Chen's shot and let the ball pass.
It hit his shoe, changed the line and popped out of the baseline from the outside of the goal post.
Qiao Anchen's first shot failed.
In the 8th minute, Qiao Anchen relied on his tacit cooperation with his teammates in the frontcourt to send the ball into the penalty area, and got a chance to shoot from the right rib of the penalty area.
As a result, when he started to shoot, he was pushed and interfered by the opponent's defender. In addition, the pass from his teammate did not roll completely to the ground, but bounced the ball. Although Qiao Anchen finally hit the ball within the goal frame, the angle was too high.
Right, he was pinned directly to the ground by the goalkeeper, and Atletico Madrid didn't even have a chance to make a follow-up shot.
By this time, everyone could already see that Qiao Anchen's hat-trick performance in the last game, as well as his previous record of consecutive goals in U15 and U17, had attracted the attention of the Mallorca team.
Therefore, from the beginning of the game, Qiao Anchen was heavily targeted by the opponent. Even if he could get a chance to shoot, he would be destroyed immediately by the opponent.
There are too many opponents surrounding him. Even if Qiao Anchen has unlimited firing rights, it will be difficult for him to score.
Seeing this situation, Qiao Anchen did not go his own way in order to improve his scoring data, but began to increase his running range and then pass the ball to his teammates.
Assists and wins can earn experience, not to mention double scores, double hat tricks and other achievements waiting for him.
Therefore, Qiao Anchen doesn't mind giving up shooting opportunities to his teammates.
In the 17th minute, after Qiao Anchen received a pass from his teammate outside the top of the penalty area, he deliberately moved the ball to the right, and then pretended to dribble forward into the penalty area and shoot, which attracted two Mallorca defensive players to rush over.
Block Qiao Anchen's way forward.
As a result, Qiao Anchen feinted a shot and passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.
Left winger Barrett Asa rushed into the penalty area and fired a shot without stopping the ball. He successfully hit a world wave and blasted the ball into the left goal.
Although Mallorca goalkeeper Clutter Norton struggled to make a save, he was still a step too late. The world-famous shot missed him and watched helplessly as the ball flew into the goal.
Qiao Anchen assisted teammate Barrett Asa to score the first goal. Atletico Madrid U17 led Mallorca U17 1-0 at home.
Although Qiao Anchen did not score this goal, his assist was also crucial, so Qiao Huamei, Cao Guanhong, and Stephen Byron all applauded and cheered for him excitedly.
More than a hundred fans on the sidelines also burst into warm applause, cheering for Qiao Anchen's assist and Barrett Asa's goal.
In addition to the cheers of the fans, the scene of Qiao Anchen decisively passing the ball and assisting made head coach Pozhe Teresa even more excited.
Although he gave Qiao Anchen unlimited firing rights, Qiao Anchen obviously did not abuse it. When he had no chance, he was still able to pass the ball out clearly, giving his teammates a chance to score easily.
This quality, in the opinion of Pozhe Theresa, is even more useful than Qiao Anchen's shooting skills. This means that Qiao Anchen is a player who is willing to sacrifice his own scoring opportunities for the sake of the team's victory.
This kind of player is more valuable and worth cultivating than a player who can only score goals.
Qiao Anchen's assist knocked Mallorca out of control.
This means that it is useless for Mallorca to only mark Joan Chen. When he has no chance, he will decisively pass the ball out and give the shooting opportunity to his teammates.
Therefore, the opponent can only defend as a whole in the midfield and backfield. As a result, the defensive intensity against Qiao Anchen will inevitably decrease.
In addition, Mallorca is now behind in the score, so it is bound to strengthen its offense, and the overall defensive strength in the backcourt has also declined. Therefore, Qiao Anchen's goal finally arrived.
In the 29th minute, Mallorca's attack was interrupted and Atletico Madrid launched a quick counterattack. Finally, left-back Jamie Matthews made a pass from the left. Center forward Wodehouse grabbed the first point in the middle and was unable to directly attack the goal.
In this case, the ferry was passed to Qiao Anchen who was inserted in the back row.
Qiao Anchen, who was slightly slower, stepped in from the back row, rushed into the penalty area, and volleyed the ball without stopping about 11 meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty spot, hitting the ball firmly and volleying it towards the goal.
Goal direction.
It is difficult to control the angle of a volley during a counterattack. If it can be kicked within the goal frame, it is a success.
Qiao Anchen was very lucky with his volley. Not only did it hit the goal frame, it also hit a good angle.
Although it is not a blind spot, it is a shot in the penalty area. It is close and it is a volley. It is powerful and fast. Goalkeeper Clutter Norton has no time to make a save reaction. He just subconsciously reaches out and waves, but what?
Without even touching it, he just watched helplessly as a shadow of the ball passed by his hand and flew into the goal.
Joan Chen successfully scored his first goal in this game, helping Atletico Madrid lead Mallorca 2-0 with one pass and one shot.
Qiao Huamei, Cao Guanhong, Stephen Byron, and all the Atletico Madrid fans on the sidelines gave Qiao Anchen warm applause.
Teammates on the field also caught up and celebrated the goal with Qiao Anchen who was running with his arms open to celebrate.
Porge Theresa also applauded, but her heart was filled with joy and disappointment.
Fortunately, it is estimated that Qiao Anchen will be promoted to U19 in the next game. In the near future, he may even be promoted to the first team and play in La Liga and European competitions. Unfortunately, he may only be able to coach Qiao Anchen for 4 games.
We're going to part ways.
No one wants to lose such a talented player, but there is no way. Who calls him a youth training coach instead of a first-team coach?
On the other side, Mallorca's players and coaches seemed helpless.
Qiao Anchen's physical fitness and skills are actually not very good at the U17a league level, and they did not provide Qiao Anchen with many shooting gaps.
However, Qiao Anchen's shooting skills are too good and his scoring efficiency is too high. If he seizes the opportunity, he may score.
This kind of shooting is something that Mallorca cannot defend. After all, no matter how strict the defense is, football matches cannot be truly impregnable and watertight, and Qiao Anchen will always get a chance to shoot.
