Chapter 203 Supercars and Donkeys
Beep!
The game officially began the moment the whistle blew.

"The match has begun. This is Japan in 2026."

Just as Zhan Jing was about to give his opening remarks, he suddenly saw the French U17 team, after a series of back passes, launch a long ball forward from the center-back to find Hentley Danny.

Swish!
Hunterley Danny started the engine, and Yang Fan didn't even have time to react.

"Hold!"

Yang Fan immediately turned and ran.

Fortunately, Hunterley Danny slowed down at the point of impact.

"Old Wei! Let's provide support!"

Wei Lai immediately went to provide support.

boom!
Huntley Danny suddenly moved to the side, blocking Yang Fan from behind.

"They won't let me through?"

Yang Fan gritted his teeth and immediately reached out to grab Hunter Danny's jersey.

Then you can forget about going there!
Snapped!
Hunterley Danny brought the ball to a steady stop in front of him.

Tsk!
Wei Lai clicked his tongue in frustration; the ball was stopped so badly that there was absolutely no space to get it out and disrupt the play.

At this moment, Hunter Danny stepped on the ball and slammed backward, clearly trying to knock Yang Fan away and prevent him from interfering with his start.

But Wei Lai accurately seized upon this small flaw.

Wei Lai immediately stretched out his foot and poked the ball away.

"Yang Fan! Good interference!"

After Wei Lai poked the ball away, he followed up to receive it again.

Yang Fan touched his sore nose and groaned.

Hunterley Danny looked at Wei Lai with some surprise.

He hadn't expected Wei Lai to have such precise control over the timing of the steal.

Wei Lai immediately rushed towards Chen Shaojie.

"Pass the ball!"

Chen Shaojie looked up at Wei Lai and suddenly pulled the ball back.

Wei Lai also turned his head and saw Huntery Danny behind him.

"Wow, so fast! When did this guy catch up?!"

Wei Lai felt things were getting tricky.

boom! boom! boom!
Wei Lai kept passing and receiving the ball, but he just couldn't turn around.

Every time he receives the ball, Hunterley Danny is sure to follow up.

Moreover, Wei Lai also tried to shift his center of gravity to get away, but although the guy was clearly tricked into losing his balance, he pulled back too quickly, making it impossible for Wei Lai to turn around.

"Wei Lai was constantly being disrupted. Hunter Danny was marking him closely and wouldn't let Wei Lai turn and pass the ball."

Zhan Jing frowned and said, "He has explosive power and can quickly regain his balance. Even though he was tricked into losing his balance, he was able to pull himself back immediately. How is Wei Lai going to handle this?"

what!
Wei Lai suddenly stopped, sighed, and held up his index finger, saying slowly, "Slow down! Slow down the pace!"

After saying that, he pulled some space to the right.

That's right!

There is a huge gap in both speed and technology.

If it comes down to these factors, Wei Lai simply cannot compete with Hunter Danny.

But he doesn't make a living from these things.

boom!
Wei Lai passed the ball again with one foot, but this time, his pass was decisive and clean, without any hesitation or feints.

But after that pass, Wei Lai suddenly took a step to the side, blocking Hunter Danny behind him, and positioned his entire body to the side, fully opening up his body.

"Come again!"

Lu Chaokuan passed the ball to Wei Lai again.

Wei Lai suddenly sat back.

He collided squarely with Hunter Danny, but Wei Lai withstood the impact and simultaneously flicked his right foot forward, passing the ball directly to He Chaoyue.

"Actively seek confrontation!" Zhan Jing's eyes lit up as he shouted. "This is a very British way of getting rid of opponents. Midfielders playing in the Premier League, when faced with intense pressing and unable to get away quickly, will use this method to actively seek confrontation, making themselves a fulcrum, also known as a 'wall,' forming a passing and connecting pattern."

After completing the pass, Wei Lai immediately ran forward.

But he discovered that Huntley Danny had been following him.

"Damn it! Being fast is one thing, but being so aggressive on defense is another!"

Wei Lai turned and called out, "Shaojie, go up there!"

Without saying a word, Chen Shaojie stepped forward across the halfway point.

"In the first attack of the Chinese national youth team, He Chaoyue broke through towards the center axis, but were there too few attackers involved?"

On the field, Xiang Ming, He Chaoyue, and Kang Jianbin were attacking, while Chen Shaojie and Wei Lai were positioned slightly forward in the half of the field, and Yang Fan was always marking Hunter Danny!

"Old He!"

Xiang Ming raised his hand at the far end, asking for the ball.

He Chaoyue immediately passed the ball over.

boom!
Before the ball even arrived, French U17 midfielder Breno intercepted it with a single kick.

"Danny!"

Gunnett met the ball head-on with a long kick, shouting the name of Hunter Danny.

The next second, Hunterley Danny immediately turned around and started moving.

"Hold!"

By the time Yang Fan reached out his hand, he had already slowed down.

Wei Lai and Chen Shaojie immediately turned and ran.

"They've retreated to defend!"

"Yang Fan, follow him! He'll slow down and stop."

Wei Lai's eyes widened suddenly as he saw Huntery Danny sprinting toward the landing point with no sign of slowing down.

Even if it exists, it's only a very small fluctuation.

This also meant that Yang Fan was completely unable to keep up with the other party.

Snapped!
Hunterley Danny reached the landing point, gently stepped out with his left foot, and the ball stopped about two meters in front of him.

The amount of time he got to stop the ball ahead of time meant he didn't need to slow down at all; in fact, he accelerated again and easily passed Xiang Yu.

"What the hell is this explosion?!"

As Xiang Yu turned around, he saw that Hunter Danny had already reached the six-yard box and was making a cross into the box.

French youth team striker Lantrik followed up with a shot.

Swish!
The ball goes into the net!

"Well done, buddy!"

Huntley Danny jumped up with joy.

Rantrix pointed at him, and the two embraced tightly before rushing towards the corner flag to celebrate.

In the footage, Hunterley Danny is seen kneeling on one knee with his hands in a shooting gesture, making his signature celebration move.

Watching this scene, Zhan Jing shook his head and said, "They still managed to break through. It's this kind of sudden counterattack. Hunter Danny creates opportunities with his individual ability, either by assisting or shooting directly. Once he gets going, it's too late to follow up and intercept!"

On the court, Yang Fan grinned:
"Damn it! This guy stopped the ball like that, I can't keep up at all, he doesn't slow down at all!"

Wei Lai also frowned.

This combination of stopping and starting is indeed a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum.

The key point is that this guy really didn't slow down much, so if you couldn't keep up at first, there was no way to catch up later.

"If all else fails, then foul!"

Wei Lai said in a deep voice, "We need to take turns fouling him. We can't let him break through like this anymore; he's too much of a threat."

"Got it!" Yang Fan nodded; "Next time I'll just hang it on him!"

Wei Lai pursed his lips:
"We still can't get too far forward, because if we do, it will be too late to retreat."

At this moment, He Chaoyue ran towards Wei Lai and said succinctly;
"You hoist forward too, and Xiang Ming and I will create opportunities up front!"

Wei Lai thought for a moment; "Hang behind?"

To be honest, it's a bit difficult.

Because his position would be further back, the distance would be longer, making it impossible to guarantee accuracy.

“Hang them at our feet!” He Chaoyue’s eyes sharpened. “Let’s go and disrupt their defense.”

"Conceding a goal just seven minutes into the game is not good news for the boys," Zhan Jing said with concern. "The current situation is that we need to focus on defense first and then look for opportunities to counterattack. However, with the score now behind, we are also under pressure to attack, while the French U7 team can play the game more easily."

Zhang Lu nodded: "Let's rely on our forwards to find opportunities. In this game, we can only rely on our forwards to create opportunities. Yang Fan is responsible for marking, and Wei Lai and Chen Shaojie are more focused on defense. They don't provide enough support on the offensive end, so we can only rely on our forwards."

On the court, Chen Shaojie approached Wei Lai:
"Old Wei, we need to keep harassing Hunter Danny and put pressure on him so he can call his men up the pitch. Otherwise, even if we want to launch a counter-attack, they have too many players in their backfield and we won't be able to create any threats."

"Speak," Chen Shaojie said, pursing his lips. "I'll go with Yang Fan to keep an eye on Hunter Danny. You go find an opportunity!"

"Alright!" Wei Lai nodded without further ado; "I'll go and provide support too!"

The match resumed, and the Chinese U17 team immediately launched an attack and won a corner kick.

During this corner kick, Kang Jianbin won the header but failed to generate enough power, and the goalkeeper tackled the ball to the ground.

"opposite"

The French youth team goalkeeper got up and wanted to call for a counterattack, but all he saw was a huge crowd of people rushing back towards their half of the field.

French goalkeeper Atak had no choice but to pass the ball to the full-back.

Nine minutes later, France looked for Henri Danny again, but this time he was cornered by Chen Shaojie and Yang Fan, who worked together to poke the ball away.

In the 11th minute, China's U17 team's attack was disrupted by the French midfielder, and He Chaoyue failed to break through the dense midfield defense.

In the 14th minute, Hunter Danny retreated to receive the ball. Just as he was about to start his breakthrough, Yang Fan pulled and tugged at him, completely stopping his explosive start. Chen Shaojie immediately followed up to disrupt the attack.

In the 15th minute, during a set piece for the Chinese U17 team, He Chaoyue was unable to jump due to interference.

In the 18th minute, French midfielder Gunett turned with the ball to launch a counter-attack, but was tactically fouled by Xiang Ming and pulled down.

As a result, Xiang Ming also received a yellow card!
After several unsuccessful attacks, Hunterley Danny was getting annoyed. He turned around and shouted, "Bring some in! Their defense is too tight, create some space for me!"

Upon hearing this, the French national youth team players immediately did as instructed.

Wei Lai, meanwhile, watched this scene intently from afar.

"It's out!"

Wei Lai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Their time to strike back has come.

"The boys are doing everything they can to stop the French youth team's attack, but we can't just keep defending like this. We need a counter-attack point!" Zhan Jing said worriedly. "If we keep going like this, it will be a huge test of our physical strength."

boom!
The ball was lofted into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese U17 team, and Mao Biao jumped up fiercely, clearing the ball away with a header.

"Wei Lai!"

Wei Lai immediately rushed towards the landing point and controlled the ball with his right foot, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Hunter Danny was rushing towards him.

Oh shit!

So troublesome!
Wei Lai cursed under his breath. Now that he was landing on his right foot for support, if he tried to adjust and switch to passing with his right foot, it would definitely be intercepted.

"It's a bet!"

Wei Lai swung his right arm and suddenly bent his left leg.

"Wei Lai!—"

Zhan Jing exclaimed, "Use your left foot directly?"

boom!
At the moment of hitting the ball, Wei Lai leaned slightly forward.

This long pass must maintain ball speed; it can't be the kind that's high and floaty.

The ball didn't fly very high, but it was very fast.

The arc wasn't very wide, but it still flew towards the open space on the left.

"Xiang Ming, sprint at full speed to chase the ball!" Xiang Ming ran wildly, constantly predicting the ball's landing point.

Oh shit!

Old Wei's pass was too long.

Snapped!
Xiang Ming stomped his foot and jumped, extending his left leg in mid-air and hooking his toes.

The ball didn't fly away; instead, he intercepted it.

"Xiang Ming, that was a great stop!"

The moment Xiang Ming landed, he suddenly made a feint towards the baseline, then quickly pulled his center of gravity back.

When the opponent's center of gravity shifts inward, Xiang Ming steps on the ball and pushes it forward.

Crotch-wearing is awesome!

"Xiang Ming! Xiang Ming! He's past him! That ball!"

Xiang Ming caught up with the ball and charged into the penalty area.

He stared intently ahead.

Rare opportunity!
This might even be the last chance!
How to do?
He Chaoyue was completely submerged in the crowd, with no angle to be seen.

Kang Jianbin wasn't steady enough when sweeping the middle lane.

"do it yourself!"

Xiang Ming suddenly darted forward.

"I'll block it!" French U17 center-back Urpiza stepped forward.

At this moment, Xiang Ming suddenly flicked the ball to the side, creating space for a shot, and looked up at the far end.

The French goalkeeper immediately moved to his right to make a save.

The next second, Xiang Ming suddenly unleashed a powerful shot.

Aim high and fire at close range!

The ball slipped through the legs of French center-back Urpiza, who was stretching out to block it, grazed the near post, and nestled into the goal.

Swish!
21 minutes in, the ball goes into the net!
China's U17 team tied France's U17 team 1-1.

"Xiang Ming! A perfect individual performance, calm dribbling! Calm shooting! He seized the opportunity, and the Chinese U17 team has equalized!"

Zhan Jing roared excitedly.

After scoring, Xiang Ming also rushed towards the stands.

Chinese fans on the away trip were already in a frenzy.

"Awesome! Xiang Ming! You're awesome!"

"Holy crap! That dribble, that shot, you're the best!"

"You stepped up at a crucial moment, Xiang Ming, well done!"

"It's tied! It's tied!"

Xiang Ming opened his arms and laughed excitedly.

He even waved his arms repeatedly, signaling the fans to cheer even louder.

Waves of cheers surged through the stadium, quickly becoming like a raging tide.

Passion was ignited.

"Awesome!!—"

Wei Lai rushed over and climbed onto Xiang Ming's back.

He was genuinely excited.

After the ball was passed out, Wei Lai felt it was hopeless, but Xiang Ming managed to catch up and even scored a goal.

That's absolutely amazing.

"Old Wei, you have to give me a bow, this ball almost killed me."

"Get lost!" Wei Lai laughed and cursed; "You guys couldn't break through in the last match, it was all thanks to me, so you'd better kowtow to me first!"

More and more people gathered together, jumping and cheering.

That equalizing goal was a huge morale booster.

Moreover, this goal also shows that as long as the French U17 team dares to press forward, the Chinese U17 team also has ways to threaten their goal.

Or let Hunterley Danny take on us single-handedly!
Or we could roll up our sleeves and fight each other hand-to-hand.

Who is afraid of whom?
call!
On the coach's bench, Xue Guohao grinned and said, "Damn! That scared me to death. Xiang Ming handled that ball really well."

"Pure individual ability!" Liu Guowei exclaimed excitedly. "He Chaoyue and Kang Jianbin were both in bad positions, but this guy managed to create an opportunity on his own. His final shot, a long-range shot that hit close, was incredibly calm."

boom!
"To the left! Sadip, watch your position!"

"I'm going! I'm going!"

French U17 full-back Sadip rushes towards the wing.

The moment Xiang Ming received the ball, Sadip instinctively squeezed his legs together.

Xiang Ming suddenly accelerated towards the sideline to break through, but was pulled back by Sadip and couldn't start immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, French U17 center-back Urpiza immediately followed up and kicked the ball out of bounds.

"The boys' attacks have been consistently launched from the left flank, clearly making Xiang Ming their primary attacking route in this match, while He Chaoyue continues to patiently wait for his opportunity. However, there's very little time left in the first half!"

The referee blows the whistle the moment the ball is thrown.

Intermission!

"My goodness!"

Yang Fan plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

This match was pure torture.

God knows how much effort he put in to keep up with Huntley Danny.

From the start of the match, he dared not relax for a moment, his nerves were constantly on edge for fear of letting his opponent escape.

With his constant tracking and interference, Hunterley Danny, apart from a goal in the opening stages, didn't really put on a very good performance.

"Yang Fan!" Wei Lai walked over and extended his hand; "Well done!"

Yang Fan stretched out his hand and grinned: "This is too difficult!"

Wei Lai laughed and pulled Yang Fan up, patting Yang Fan's shoulder hard.

In this match, Hunter Danny was relatively contained due to Yang Fan's continuous interference.

If it weren't Yang Fan, anyone else would have been unable to keep up, let alone interfere.

At the other end of the court, Hunterley Danny, hands on his knees, was panting heavily.

His eyes were fixed on Yang Fan, and he grinned as he said:

"What a troublesome fellow!"

A teammate walked over and said, "We should go back."

The French national youth team's locker room.

The French U17 national team coach walked in, looked around, and announced loudly, "In the second half, we will need to make some changes to our tactics."

"Fabis!" The head coach looked at the French youth team's center forward, Lantrick. "In the second half, you need to drop back more, preferably to the midfield line. Your task is to contest for the first ball and help Danny relieve some of the pressure in physical duels."

"Yes, sir!"

The head coach turned his head again; "And our midfielders, you must hold your positions and support the left wing more. That number 11 on the other side is very difficult to deal with."

In the first half, Xiang Ming's goal made the French coach extremely wary.

Moreover, Sadeep is starting to feel the strain, and if they encounter problems again, they could really start to collapse.

The most crucial player is still Hunter Danny.

The head coach looked at the other man, who was taking deep breaths and adjusting his state, which made him frown slightly.

"The battle can't drag on any longer; we must seize the opportunity to end the game!"

Chinese national youth team locker room.

Xue Guohao shouted loudly:

"In the second half, Chen Shaojie was substituted off and Jin Yaowen came on as a substitute. Jin Yaowen, move to the middle."

"Huh?" Jin Yaowen asked in surprise, "Did I hit the back midfield position?"

“That’s right!” Xue Guohao said in a deep voice; “You only have one task, which is to fight physical with the French youth team’s center forward Landric, not let him touch the ball comfortably, and it would be best to win the first ball.”

"Landrick is positioned at the back line!" Liu Guowei reminded him.

“That’s right!” Xue Guohao nodded. “But we can’t rule out the possibility that he’ll pull back into midfield to relieve pressure on Hunter Danny. They did that against England before, and it successfully created an opportunity for Hunter Danny to make a forward run. We must avoid that.”

After saying that, he said loudly, "20 minutes! Just 20 more minutes! Then we can play much more easily."

Yang Fan asked, puzzled, "Why 20 minutes?"

Wei Lai took a sip of his drink; "Because Hunterley Danny's stamina can only last another 20 minutes."

There are no perfect players in the world.

Hunter Danny's explosive power and speed are built on the premise of rapidly depleting his physical strength, and his problem is also his lack of physical reserves.

In addition, during the first half, he constantly engaged in physical battles with the Chinese U17 midfielders, which accelerated his energy loss. Perhaps he wouldn't even have to wait 20 minutes.

Therefore, the opening stage of the second half is very important.

The French U17 team definitely wants to score as soon as possible and end the game while Henri Danny is still on the field.

For the Chinese national youth team, they still only need to keep an eye on Hunter Danny.

Xue Guohao's judgment was correct!
In the previous final, the French U17 team lost to the Brazilian U17 team in the same way!

Once Hunter Danny's fuel is depleted, the French U17 team's attacking power will be reduced by at least 60%, allowing the Chinese U17 team to then develop targeted strategies.

"You must stay calm in the opening stages!" Wei Lai patted Yang Fan on the shoulder again; "You are the key to this game!"

Yang Fan's eyes widened suddenly; "Am I that important?"

Wei Lai gave a thumbs up: "If we win this game, you deserve 9% of the credit. No matter how you're rated after the game, you'll always be my MVP!"

suck!
Yang Fan sniffed, his face beaming with excitement:

"Damn it! Little Pete, I'm going to fight him for three hundred rounds!"

"His name is Danny!"

"Who cares what he's called! Let's take him down!"

In the second half, the two sides switched sides and started playing.

"Danny!"

Landrick and Jin Yaowen collided violently. Although Landrick headed the ball, he failed to pass it well.

Huntley Danny sprinted toward the landing point.

Swish!
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the side, and the next second, a pair of legs swung over and shoved the ball away.

Hunterley Danny immediately jumped, but when he landed, his legs felt a little weak, and he staggered a couple of steps to steady himself.

He turned his head and saw Yang Fan suddenly stand up, waving his arms and roaring loudly.

"Yang Fan! That tackle was perfectly timed! He's stopped Hunter Danny again! And we can see that Hunter Danny seems to be slowing down, which might be a sign of fatigue," Zhan Jing said with a sigh. "Can the Chinese U17 team capitalize on this opportunity and score a goal?"

Wei Lai ran to the sidelines and gave Yang Fan a thumbs-up: "Awesome! Yang Fan!"

"Leave it to me!" Yang Fan thumped his chest. "I guarantee a win!"

After saying that, he turned around with a confident look and continued to pester Hunter Danny.

Wei Lai smiled.

Yang Fan is a very special type of player; the more you criticize him, the more stubborn he becomes, and the worse he gets.

But once you give a clear goal, appropriate encouragement, exaggerated praise, and some physical encouragement, you will get a 'nuclear-powered donkey'.

Wei Lai looked at the situation on the court and licked his dry lips slightly.

It's almost their turn to make their move!
Hunterley Danny is already struggling to keep up.

Wei Lai clenched his fist suddenly.

The scales of victory began to tip in their favor.
