Chapter 55 Single Defense (Please add to your favorites)

Being a 'freelance hunter' is not a stable job.

George couldn't guarantee he'd always get a hefty bonus, especially since players like the Dutch prodigy were extremely rare.

Even with George's keen eye, he couldn't guarantee that he would receive a long-term, secure income from this job.

Therefore, Sanders' offer is indeed quite attractive.

However, George also knew exactly what kind of guy Sanders was.

Working under someone who takes credit for their subordinates' achievements and climbs the ranks by sucking their blood offers absolutely no security.

"The match is about to begin!"

George said calmly.

Sanders shrugged. "Hopefully you'll reconsider."

After saying that, both of them looked at the game and prepared to take notes.

Meanwhile, on the field, players from both sides began to enter.

In this match, Green Lions will face Torino U15.

The Green Lions were placed in Group D, which, according to the seeding system, is undoubtedly the bottom group.

Torino U15, on the other hand, is firmly in first place in the group.

"In the first game, brothers, do your best and let's try to win!"

Xiang Ming, wearing the captain's armband, shouted loudly.

The others also shouted encouragement.

Torino U15 is indeed a formidable opponent, but for players like Xiang Ming and He Chaoyue, who have been playing in various cup competitions in Europe since childhood, they are not intimidated at all.

After all, it's not like they haven't won before.

We could win before, and we can win now!

Moreover, although it's called Torino U15 to put it nicely, in Europe, the real geniuses all skip grades.

The real geniuses of the U15 team may be in the U17 team or the U19 team.

But definitely not in the U15!

Young and ambitious, they all aim to be the best. If they can't even beat these guys, they'll be even less likely to play well against the real geniuses in the national youth and junior teams.

Wei Lai also took a deep breath.

This is his first competition abroad, and a crucial test of his abilities.

On this most prestigious stage of football, how well can he perform among his peers?
This is both a team battle and a test for Wei Lai himself.

Wei Lai clenched his fist slightly, staring at the European teenagers opposite him, who were wearing white and black striped jerseys with the logos of Italian powerhouse teams printed on their chests.

"Come on horseback!"

Tong Xianfeng also set up his live streaming equipment and began broadcasting live from the scene.

The moment the whistle blew, the entire live broadcast room erupted in cheers.

First! First!

'They're here! They're here! The little lions' first official match!'

'A draw in the first match against Torino U15 would be a win!'

'What do you mean, a tie? It's not like we haven't won before.'

Go, little lions! Go, little lions!

In the match, Torino U15 kicked off first.

After kicking off, they did not rush forward, but maintained a cohesive and unified stance, seemingly trying to lure the opponent into their own territory.

This is also a characteristic of Italian football: based on defense, it launches sharp counter-attacks.

Torino U15 did not attack rashly, nor did the young lions rush forward immediately.

"keep distance!"

Wei Lai shouted something to Yu Jiahe, and he noticed that Yu Jiahe seemed eager to try, always wanting to charge forward.

Although Wei Lai understood what excited Yu Jiahe, he had to remain calm at this moment.

At the same time, Wei Lai's eyes kept scanning the side lanes.

The number seven player for Torino U15, that curly-haired guy named Pishni, is Torino U15's sharpest weapon on the wing during counter-attacks.

This is also intelligence gathered by the Green Lions.

The young Lions need to keep this guy in line to ensure the stability of the defense.

This task naturally fell to Wei Lai.

"Can Wei Lai withstand the impact of that Turin No. 7?"

Liang Xu looked nervously at the field. Although Wei Lai's strength was recognized, that was only domestic recognition. No one could say for sure how he would be compared to other players of the same level in Europe.

The warm-up matches went well, but they were still just warm-up matches; the intensity of the official matches would be much higher. Therefore, Liang Xu was worried about whether Wei Lai could adapt to this type of competition!

Tong Xianfeng didn't say anything, nor did he have confidence, but this was the best solution at the moment.

If Wei Lai can't hold on, then no one on the current Green Lions team can.

If that's the case, they can only resort to the same tactics as before: using a large number of players in midfield to participate in the attack, while the rest stay in the back to participate in the defense.

This time, Tong Xianfeng boldly implemented tactical changes because of Wei Lai's appearance.

He believes Wei Lai can withstand the pressure, thereby unleashing the offensive capabilities of the others.

About five minutes later, Torino finally couldn't resist and tentatively moved forward.

The ball was passed forward along the wing and landed directly at the feet of the opposing number 7.

At the same time, Wei Lai immediately stuck to it.

Comments in the live stream room.

'It matches up!'

Here it comes! The battle of offense and defense begins!

'Can Wei Lai hold out?'

Watch out! European little devils are incredibly agile!

On the field, Wei Lai turned sideways to block the opponent's inside breakthrough channel, while giving up his position on the wing.

Moreover, this time Wei Lai posted it closer to the target.

After all, he wasn't confident he could keep up with Pishini's acceleration, so if the other tried to overtake him on the wing, he wouldn't be able to keep his hands clean.

Pishni used his feet to repeatedly tap and flick the ball, trying to lose Wei Lai's balance.

After he realized that Wei Lai was unmoved, he simply ran along the side road.

"It's now!"

Wei Lai made a direct sliding tackle.

boom!
The toe just managed to poke the ball, completing the clearance.

"Pretty!"

Yang Fan exclaimed in admiration, then immediately returned to his defensive position.

Wei Lai then moved closer to the opponent's number 7.

Torino U15's throw-in was passed to Pishini again.

Pishni turned his back to Wei Lai and began to shake repeatedly.

But Wei Lai just wouldn't give this guy a proper chance to turn around.

"So difficult!"

Pishini muttered something and immediately turned around to pass the ball back.

At that moment, a teammate suddenly exclaimed, "Watch out!"

Pishni was confused, but the next second, a huge force came from the side. He couldn't withstand the confrontation and was pushed behind Wei Lai.

Wei Lai stretched out his foot and stomped on the ball, pulling it back while holding Pishni firmly behind him.

"Beautiful!"

Liang Xu clapped his hands and roared.

What a clean and decisive steal!

Wei Lai discerned the opponent's intention to pass the ball back and decisively made a tackle to intercept it.

Strangely, Wei Lai did not pass the ball immediately after making the interception.

Xiang Ming kept shouting, but Wei Lai remained unmoved.

Luo Xiang retreated as Yu Jiahe approached.

Wei Lai then passed the ball sideways.

At that moment, Yu Jiahe, without stopping the ball, directly passed it along his ribs.

"What the hell?"

Xiang Ming paused for a moment, then quickly started the engine.

But he was a step too slow, and the ball was cleared out of bounds by a tackle from the opposing full-back.

"ah!!--"

Xiang Ming jumped up to dodge the opponent's tackle, while vigorously rubbing his hair.

"Mine! Mine!"

Xiang Ming raised his hand, embarrassed, and said, "I ran too slowly!"
