Chapter 58 Decision-Making Power Secured (Please Add to Favorites)
"Yay! We're leading by one goal!"

"Well done! A decisive victory!"

At the end of the first half, the Green Lions maintained a one-goal lead, and the team's morale was extremely high.

Facing a seeded team in the group, they surprisingly took the lead and subtly dominated their opponents.

This is quite an upset!
And it was for this reason that there were many more spectators watching the game, many of whom came because of the phrase 'Torino U15 is behind'!
"Hey! Young man from the East, can we chat for a bit?"

"Eastern boy, shall we chat for a while?"

"You played really well! Can we talk?"

During halftime, a group of scouts kept handing out business cards and approaching the field for conversations through the barriers.

He Chaoyue, Yang Fan, Chen Shaojie, Xiang Ming, Yu Jiahe and others have all been contacted by people.

Some scouts even went so far as to hand out business cards to each player, as if they wanted to recruit them all.

He Chaoyue and Yang Fan simply dealt with this matter briefly.

However, Chen Shaojie, Yu Jiahe, and others were seriously communicating through the barrier.

After all, for them, these part-time scouts or freelancers may have less influence, but they still have a chance to bring them to Europe, so they are actively exchanging ideas.

Wei Lai received no fewer than 10 business cards. These people were eager to talk to him, but Wei Lai declined, citing the competition as the reason.

"Hey!"

Wei Lai turned his head and saw the bald, middle-aged man from before, one hand supporting himself on the guardrail, the other hand offering a business card through the gap, smiling as he said:
"You seem a bit unsure about your passing?"

Wei Lai was taken aback.

The other person laughed and said, "My name is George, and I think you can play a bit bolder."

After saying that, he pointed to the Torino U15 team opposite him and said, "They are no match for you. You are not in the same league as them. Go all out, Eastern boy! I believe in you!"

Wei Lai nodded, said thank you, and then prepared to take the business card.

But he found he couldn't pull it out; the other person was holding it tightly.

"Sir? Is there anything else?"

Wei Lai looked up and asked.

George smiled. "How about I buy you a drink after the game?"

Wei Lai: "I'm still young, I can't drink!"

"Of course not alcohol, how about coffee or milk?"

"I don't like coffee," Wei Lai said with a glint in his eye. "But if it's seafood fried rice, I might consider it!"

"Deal!" George nodded with a smile, waving to Wei Lai and saying, "Go for it! Like I said before, just go for it! You can blast them apart!"

Humans are highly adaptable creatures, constantly making different choices as the environment changes.

At first, Wei Lai could only amplify his unique strengths in order to secure a place in the puzzle.

But as Coach Casemiro said, when you lack ability, you are a puzzle piece.

In other words, if you have the ability, why not fight for more rights?

For Wei now, simply playing defense is no longer enough.

He wants more opportunities to touch the ball!

He wants more opportunities to shine!

Wei Lai no longer wants to be just a defensive midfielder.

Moreover, Wei Lai believes that his abilities have improved significantly during this period of training.

Wei Lai has carefully considered his current abilities.

He excels in areas such as game reading, vision, and anticipation.

My basic skills are a little lacking, but it depends on who I'm compared to.

At the very least, he has a decent ability in short passing and getting past defenders.

Previously, the problem was that people were afraid to make moves, afraid to take the ball, and afraid of losing possession.

Now, Wei Lai has become increasingly confident and wants to take on more important responsibilities.

He also pondered a question: setting aside the simple defensive midfield position, what position was most suitable for him? In the end, Wei Lai thought of a position!
Position 6!

The traditional number 6 position is a defensive midfielder!

And it's a single defensive midfielder position!

在4-3-3的中场倒三角阵型中，中场分别是10号位、8号位以及6号位。

The traditional number 10 position is the core of the attack, located behind the forward line, and its main responsibilities are offensive passing, final pass, or shooting.

The traditional center position (8) is responsible for both offense and defense, and its role is somewhat ambiguous. However, precisely because of this, the roles of organizer and metronome often fall to this position.

Finally, there's the traditional center position, which is more defensively oriented.

Their position is at the front of the defensive line, and sometimes they even have to drop back to the defensive line.

Of course, the concept of position in modern football has changed significantly. It is not uncommon for defenders to attack and forwards to defend, but there are also traditional box-to-box (all-around) players in the number 6 position.

However, according to traditional positional concepts, the number 6 position is a position that emphasizes defense and chooses the direction of attack after receiving a pass from the back line.

He doesn't directly participate in the attack, but he chooses an attacking direction based on his reading of the game and his instincts.

This requires the player to have an excellent overall view of the game and a strong sense of positioning, while also being adept at getting rid of defenders, making short passes, and intercepting tackles.

Wei believes he has a good ability in this area.

This role was mainly filled by Chen Shaojie in the Green Lions team, but during these matches, Wei Lai also noticed a problem: Chen Shaojie was not particularly outstanding in selecting the direction of attack.

Whether out of hesitation or pressure, they always make a choice that is a step behind, such as pulling the ball or smashing it.

But in the ever-changing world of football, such a rhythm can mean the end of an attacking opportunity and the immediate filling of the space.

Chen Shaojie is excellent at maintaining possession of the ball, but he is not a qualified decision-maker!
However, Wei Lai couldn't say it so directly, as it might affect his relationship with Chen Shaojie, so he thought of an appropriate way to phrase it.

During this process, Wei Lai frequently looked at Chen Shaojie, who also noticed this scene.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Shaojie was chatting with Yu Jiahe when he felt Wei Lai glancing at him several times, and Wei Lai seemed hesitant to speak. So he got up and went over to him.

"Wei Lai, is something the matter?" Chen Shaojie asked directly.

"Huh?" Wei Lai looked up, somewhat stunned.

Chen Shaojie tilted his head; "You keep looking at me, you must have something to say to me, right? What are your thoughts for the second half?"

Wei Lai scratched his head; "I have an idea!"

Wei Lai, Xiang Ming, Chen Shaojie, Yang Fan, and He Chaoyue gathered together.

Tong Xianfeng and Liang Xu were standing behind them.

After listening to Wei Lai's explanation, everyone turned to look at Chen Shaojie.

Wei Lai put it very tactfully, but the core meaning was that he wanted to 'give me the decision-making power'.

No one spoke; instead, they all looked at Chen Shaojie.

Seeing the somber atmosphere, Wei Lai immediately said, "I just have an idea, let's talk about it later, let's finish the game first!"

"No!" Chen Shaojie suddenly looked up at Wei Lai; "You're right! My decision-making ability is indeed a bit slow!"

"In the first two warm-up matches, our counter-attacks mostly came from Wei Lai's passes after interceptions or tackles. Sometimes, even when I was passing the ball, the opportunities were still created by Wei Lai."

"The goal in the first half was also your decision. It was your choice of Santos that brought us the goal."

"Also, in the first half, He Chaoyue ran back and forth on the wing several times, but I didn't pass the ball. I wasn't sure if it was an opportunity. In order to keep possession of the ball, I didn't pass it. To put it nicely, I was being cautious; to put it bluntly, I was being cowardly!"

Chen Shaojie pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, I had a vague feeling about this when we trained together in Shuicheng. Wei Lai is better at making decisions than I am, and he is also more decisive. Of course, this decisiveness may stem from his unique understanding of the game."

Chen Shaojie looked at Wei Lai; "I'll relinquish decision-making power, but I won't give up ball control!"

Wei Lai stared blankly at Chen Shaojie, not expecting that this guy would actually give in.

Yang Fan smiled and gave a thumbs up; "Old Chen, you're a real man!"

Chen Shaojie turned his head and laughed, "So this is Old Chen?"

Wei Lai gave a thumbs-up: "A real man!"

Xiang Ming and He Chaoyue also gave a thumbs up!
