On the football field, the most exciting thing is undoubtedly the various wild and imaginative goals.
World wave, falling leaf ball, upside down golden hook, volley...
Every goal scored on the court will always make the audience at the scene and in front of the TV soar with adrenaline.
Therefore, the forward position is a position that most ordinary people prefer and seek after.
The superstars on the forward line are always able to attract the attention of everyone on and off the court.
Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe...
Superstars who are talented and possess a kaleidoscope of offensive methods can always present the audience with a pleasing offensive art on the court.
But when it comes to the core position of the entire team, it is the midfielder.
The midfielder is responsible for connecting the forwards and defenders of the team.
On the premise of maintaining control of the football on one's own side, he also has the task of launching offenses, creating offensives or coordinating defenses, intercepting and stealing.
Advance to organize the attack, retreat to participate in the defense.
In the professional football field, there is a saying that "the one who wins the midfield wins the world."
This position is the absolute core of the team.
A strong midfielder is of immense help to the team, and his role is irreplaceable.
When Messi was at his peak, he had Xavi and Iniesta by his side.
The three of them cooperated, and no one could stop the passing and control.
But when Xavi and Xavier retired or left one after another, Messi seemed to be alone in Barcelona.
Croatia, a small country with only a few million people, can reach the World Cup finals.
Among them, Modric, the core midfielder, is the most critical role in the team.
With him and without him, Croatia are two different teams!
Pirlo, once the Italian midfield master, Juventus is the top giant with him.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, once the core of Germany's midfield, only with him in the German national team did both offense and defense appear so smooth.
Midfielders are often the initiators of team tactics, the bearings and brain center of the team.
When the second half of the game started, Chu Xiaoran and Jimmy switched roles.
The first one to jump up was Arbeloa, the head coach of Real Madrid's youth team.
Arbeloa saw Chu Xiaoran's outstanding performance in the first half.
During the halftime break.
Arbeloa had deployed tactics against Chu Xiaoran.
But when the game started, Chu Xiaoran changed positions?
Arbeloa was anxious.
Because the tactics he deployed failed!
In the battle of wits between the coaches of the two teams off the field, Arbeloa once again lost to coach Hunter.
I saw my opponent waving his hands anxiously on the sidelines.
Not far away, Coach Hunter was sitting calmly on his chair, not even planning to stand up.
The Chelsea youth team has won the European Youth Championship twice.
This achievement can only be matched by Barcelona's youth team in the world.
The opponent in this game, Real Madrid Youth Team, has only won the European Youth Championship once.
Whether it is psychologically or physically, Coach Hunter naturally has an advantage.
…
In the studio.
Retired player Adrian was extremely puzzled when he saw Chu Xiaoran changing positions.
"The young players in the youth team have not completely fixed their positions on the court, which I can understand."
"But judging from the performance in the first half, Chu Xiaoran from Longguo is obviously more technically and tactically suitable for the left and right winger positions."
"Coach Hunter asked him to switch positions with Jimmy in the second half? He came to play midfield?"
"Could it be that in addition to his excellent offensive methods, he also has excellent command skills?"
"If this is true, it will completely subvert my understanding of Eastern players."
"As we all know, even the so-called No. 1 superstar in the East, Son Heung-min, plays as a winger."
"In our inherent impression, there is no player in the East who can be called the midfield master."
"In the midfield, what is more tested is a player's reading of the game and control of the entire field."
"I don't think a 17-year-old boy from the Dragon Kingdom is qualified for this role."
"Even though his performance in the first half was absolutely outstanding."
Lucio nodded aside.
"I agree with Adrian."
"In the East, whether it is the Sakura Country or the Kimchi Country, there are no midfielders who are good."
"Not to mention the Dragon Country, where football development is in shambles."
"I think Coach Hunter's tactical arrangement this time must have another purpose."
Reyes heard Lucio's answer and smiled:
"Lucio, my good brother, do you want to make another bet on this?"
Lucio trembled all over, shuddered, and immediately shook his head.
"No, no, no, Reyes, I don't dare to make any more bets."
…
On the green field, the war reignited.
Chu Xiaoran switched to midfield and started to get the ball more.
He and Callum Odoi, another Chelsea midfielder, exchanged kicks, looking for opportunities to attack.
Odoi is a French teenager, tall and dark-skinned.
When Chu Xiaoran first joined the Chelsea youth team, Odoi looked down on Chu Xiaoran very much.
But after being taught a few times by Chu Xiaoran on the court, Odoi was completely convinced.
49th minute.
Chu Xiaoran controls the ball in midfield.
The little finger of his right hand gently tapped his thigh.
Odoi, who was not far away, understood what he was doing and ran back in an instant. After getting rid of the defensive player, he galloped forward at full speed.
Just when he was attacking forward.
Chu Xiaoran made a cross-court pass and accurately fed the ball directly to Odoi's feet.
After receiving the ball extremely comfortably, Odoi and Jimmy, who switched to the right wing in the second half, instantly formed a cross attack on the right wing.
At this time, James on the left and Chu Xiaoran in the midfield had also moved forward in time.
Chelsea's four-corner attack took shape instantly.
Players in Real Madrid's defense press forward to defend.
Chu Xiaoran took the ball again and made a large reverse V-shaped pull to pass a defensive player.
Then, at the moment when two other defensive players pounced on him, the outside instep lightly tapped him.
The football was passed to Jimmy's feet who had already entered the penalty area.
Facing the last defensive player, Jimmy adjusted his angle instantly and decisively chose to shoot.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Lopez jumped high and tried to save the ball.
But just when he was about to touch the football, it rolled into the goal.
2:1!
Chelsea Youth Team takes the lead again!
"He actually completed the organization and rhythm control of this offense."
"From the moment No. 8 Odoi stepped down near the midline, he was already planning this attack."
"No. 8 Odoi's reverse run was obviously a tactical cooperation they had practiced countless times in daily training."
"With No. 9 Chu Xiaoran as the core, Chelsea's four offensive points formed a 211 front line, which created a short-handed gap for Real Madrid's defense in a short period of time."
"And Chu Xiaoran's precise guided passing provided the most critical assist for this offense."
"He really does everything a good midfielder should do."
