Although Atletico Madrid is considered a strong old team in La Liga, the strength of the U15 youth team cannot be said to be super strong, because many 15-year-old geniuses have jumped to the higher level U17 or U19, and U15 is more likely to be 13.
14 year old child.
Esido is only a Spanish second division team, and the youth training players it attracts are not that talented. There are not as many players with cross-level combat capabilities as Atletico Madrid. On the contrary, there are more players of the right age staying in U15.
Although he may not be technically talented, his physical fitness is good enough.
Teenagers themselves are in the stage of physical growth. There is a difference of one or two years between them. In fact, the difference in physical fitness is quite big.
Therefore, after the game started, the Esido U15 youth team did not fall behind. Instead, they used their physical fitness and home field advantage to play back-and-forth with Atletico Madrid U15, with each other's offense and defense.
In the 17th minute, Atletico Madrid used the teamwork in the frontcourt to break through Esido's defense, and winger Victor Valeri scored a goal, leading the away team 1-0.
But just 5 minutes later, Essido took advantage of a corner kick, and their No. 9 center succeeded in the penalty area and headed the ball into Atletico Madrid's goal. The score was rewritten as 1-1.
In the 36th minute, Atletico Madrid used a cross from the wing and center Fran Purdo also scored a header, rewriting the score to 2-1 and leading away again.
But Atletico Madrid U15's lead could not be maintained until the end of the first half.
In the 44th minute, Esido attacked the penalty area and then passed the ball across the goal. Atletico Madrid defender Debra Bailey, who was trying to clear the ball, accidentally scored an own goal and knocked the ball into his own goal.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at 2-2, and the youth team of La Liga strong team Atletico Madrid failed to take the lead.
However, this is just a friendly match, so don’t worry too much about winning or losing. Those super giants often lose in friendly matches.
Therefore, both sides made large-scale substitutions during the halftime break, and Essido made eight substitutions.
Atlético Madrid did not make too much concessions, replacing 7 substitutes, including Qiao Anchen.
Qiao Anchen's position is right winger or right midfielder. His previous task was to pass the ball down to provide assists to his teammates. However, in the past two days, Ivan Serhi found that Qiao Anchen's shooting skills have improved a lot, and he is now comparable to U17 or even U19 forwards.
Level.
Therefore, Ivan Serhi specially told Qiao Anchen: "I see that you have a good shooting feeling in the past two days of training. You can try more shooting after playing and see if you can show the same level in training in the game."
The head coach specifically asked him to shoot more, and Qiao Anchen was naturally happy and nodded happily.
After a short rest, the second half of the game officially started.
Almost all substitutes played in the second half, and their level was much lower than in the first half. Both sides made a lot of mistakes. Their performance was not comparable to that of the first half, and they were unable to score a goal.
Qiao Anchen wanted to score a goal, but he had good shooting skills, stopping the ball, dribbling, breaking through, and moving without the ball. However, his physical confrontation ability was not strong enough and he couldn't hold the ball, so he never got a chance to shoot.
Despite this, he did not have the idea of activating the lucky card to score goals.
According to the system settings, you can get 1 must-goal lucky card every time you upgrade. It seems easy in the early stage, and you can level up with just a few days of training experience.
However, as the experience required for upgrading increases in the later period, upgrading will definitely become more and more difficult, and it will naturally become more and more difficult to obtain the lucky card that must score a goal.
Using this "artifact" in a pre-season friendly match of the U15 youth team is definitely a waste of money. Even if he can't score in this game, Qiao Anchen will definitely not use it.
Totally not worth it.
Therefore, it was not until the 64th minute of the second half that Qiao Anchen finally cooperated with his teammates by hitting the wall twice in a row. Fortunately, he did not make any mistakes and went all the way to the right rib of the penalty area. After receiving the back pass from the center,
He took a kick and shot into the far corner.
Esido's defense has been torn apart by Qiao Anchen and his teammates who hit the wall twice in a row, and there was no one to interfere with the shot.
However, the shooting skill of 51 is only just over half a hundred, not even the passing line of 60, and it is impossible to hit wherever you point.
Although he aimed at the far corner, the ball he kicked did not go straight to the dead corner, but deflected a little inward, resulting in an awkward angle.
In addition, the push shot was not strong enough and fast enough, so the goalkeeper swooped and successfully stopped it with his palms, and was then cleared by the defender.
Qiao Anchen's first shot after coming on the field was blocked by the goalkeeper, which made him feel quite disappointed. He shook his head secretly and walked back.
But Ivan Serhi, who was actually standing on the sidelines, nodded secretly, because Qiao Anchen shot the ball directly without stopping the ball.
If it were Qiao Anchen's previous shooting skills, the ball would have been completely missed, hit, or kicked. But now he pushed it firmly within the goal frame and into a tricky far corner, forcing the opponent's goalkeeper to do something.
A wonderful save was made, which is already considered very good.
Therefore, instead of being disappointed, Serhi applauded Qiao Anchen, and when Qiao Anchen looked over, she gave him a thumbs up, indicating that the shot was a good one.
Qiao Anchen didn't expect that even if the goal was scored, he would be praised by the coach, and his confidence immediately increased.
As the game progressed, Qiao Anchen became more and more accustomed to the game and performed better and better.
At this moment, in the 73rd minute, Essido counterattacked from the side and made a pass. Their forward followed up in the center and succeeded in volleying the ball into the Atletico Madrid U15 goal.
Esido took the lead for the first time 3-2 Atletico Madrid. The players were ecstatic and the home team spectators on the sidelines also applauded.
From taking the lead to being equalized by the opponent, and then reversing the score, Atletico Madrid U15 was a little anxious.
After all, the players are younger and they are substitutes. When they get anxious, they start to lose control. When someone gets the ball, they don’t talk about teamwork. They often work alone. It seems that they want to be a personal hero who can defeat several people at once.
ism performance.
Naturally, it is difficult to score goals by playing like this. Esido only needs to shrink the defense line and use the numerical advantage of intensive defense to keep Atletico Madrid U15 players out of the penalty area.
U15 players do not have the ability to break through dense defenses like the adult team. Even if they occasionally hit a long shot and luckily hit it within the goal frame, it is usually weak and poses no threat.
Under such circumstances, Qiao Anchen couldn't get many chances to touch the ball. He could only do what everyone else did, try to shoot as much as possible after getting the ball; when there was no ball, try to get as close to the goal as possible to look for opportunities to miss missed shots.
In the 83rd minute, Qiao Anchen had a shot, but it missed the target due to interference from the opponent's defender and failed to hit the goal frame.
