Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Porto U17's rich tactical routines were fully displayed under Martin's excellent performance.

The fly in the ointment is that the attack to the left does create a threat. The problem is that the player who completed the last kick has poor shooting skills and fails to convert the opportunity into a goal.

Coach Simon sighed: "It would be great if there was a forward with shooting skills as good as Andre Silva of Team B. We could at least expand the score to two goals before the end of the first half."

There was not much time left in the first half, and both sides consciously slowed down after the transition between offense and defense.

There are four periods of time in any game where goals are most likely to be conceded, namely at the beginning of the first half, near the end, and at the beginning of the second half, near the end of the game.

Porto U17's goal came at the beginning of the first half and was an indirect reminder to both sides.

In order to avoid losing the ball in the final stages of the first half, the side holding the ball maintained a steady rhythm and mainly used lateral passes and back passes.

Although it is said that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. Although risky passing may create absolute opportunities, it also has great hidden dangers!

"Beep~"

After the symbolic one-minute stoppage time, the referee blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half.

The Porto U17 players, who were leading the score, looked very happy and smiling.

Martin was the best player in the entire first half, and he also became the first choice for his teammates to make things happen.

The Sporting CP U17 players were all depressed due to the score.

Leo, who was almost invisible in the first half, was in the worst mood, and his already dark face looked even darker...

The warm-up youth team game is not so elaborate. Players from both sides walk to their respective coaches' benches and listen to the head coach's tactical arrangements for the second half of the game while resting.

The fans were chatting in small groups, but the family members were more thoughtful and went to give their children a bottle of drinking water.

Miguel Mario walked to the Porto U17 youth team's lounge area with a smile on his face and threw the drink in his hand to Martin: "This is a sports drink prepared by your mother and brought here from Porto."

Martin took the drink, then looked up to find Clara Anna in the audience. He smiled and raised his head before taking a drink: "The sports drink prepared by my mother is still delicious."

"I want to drink the drink that my aunt prepared!"

When Felix heard this, he immediately felt that the Gatorade in his hand was no longer fragrant.

"Oh? I want to drink too!"

Goalkeeper Diogo Costa has been craving for the sports drink Martin brought for a long time since he last drank it. Hearing Felix’s words, he quickly raised his hand to sign up.

There is only so much in a bottle of sports drink, so sharing it with your teammates is less. Martin drank at a high speed until he drank it all in one gulp.

Immediately, he also specially burped Felix and Diogo Costa.

"It's delicious!"

The two of them gave Martin the middle finger in a tacit understanding.

"hey-hey……"

……

The scouts in the audience took the time to summarize while everyone was relaxing, and made a scouting report on the technical characteristics of suitable young players.

Throughout the first half, the most dazzling players were Felix who scored the goal and Martin who assisted.

Leo, Felix, Havertz, Zaniolo and Kluivert Jr. are the five most famous talented forwards in Europe at the age of 99.

Martin was able to freeze Leo, which shows that his defensive ability is very outstanding.

He also took care of the entire right wing, paralyzing the left wing attack of Sporting CP U17.

The performance in the first half was enough to fill a page with technical characteristics.

Features: Excellent defensive ability, especially one-on-one, strong back-and-forth running ability, abundant physical fitness, fast speed, accurate cross placement, strong sense of coordination, and good leadership...

Weaknesses: The physical confrontation ability is obviously insufficient, the foot skills are not delicate enough, the dribbling ability is weak, the heading ability is average...

With his distinctive characteristics and shortcomings, it’s easy to see Martin’s cultivability.

Although he is two years older than the 99-year-old, he still has enough training prospects at the age of 17.

Looking at the entire world of football, there are very few full-backs who are truly balanced both offensively and defensively.

Among the players born in 95, the only ones with top full-back potential are Joshua Kimmich of Leipzig Red Bull and Luke Shaw, who joined Manchester United in June this year.

The game of football is a team sport, and any position can produce ceiling players.

As players born in the 80s reach the twilight years of their careers, those born in the 90s have gradually become the backbone, while those born in the 95s have taken on the new hope of world football.

Seventeen-year-old Martin has enough potential to tap.

Of course, most scouts are not rushing to a conclusion.

According to their scouting manual, players like Martin who have not been recorded in detail in the past must continue to be scouted patiently.

If there is real potential, you can apply for funding from the club for further investigation to ensure that the player has enough potential to tap.

However, there are also some scouts who believe that Martin's current ability is sufficient. If he waits until the continuous follow-up and inspection stage, it will be too late to make a decision...

When faced with various competitors, the price paid will be much higher than now.

After all, Porto is famous for being nicknamed the 'European Black Shop'. When Martin's potential is fully revealed, the cost will be several times or even dozens of times higher than it is now.

Taking away young players with great development value early means saving huge costs.

If you decide too early, you will easily be burdened with too high uncertainties and high risk factors.

The lack of continuous follow-up inspection means that there is a lack of sufficient understanding of the player's true situation.

Any athlete has ups and downs. If you make decisions based on one game, you are afraid of buying mediocre players.

However, the realization of young players' talents is often full of uncertainty, and there is no shortage of talented players in world football who eventually become mediocre.

Barcelona Bojan, Inter Milan Balotelli, Manchester United Morrison, Milan Pawlowski, Arsenal Wilshere...

At the same time, there are also players with mediocre talent and qualifications who eventually grow into top players through their extraordinary efforts.

Bierhoff, Klose, Inzaghi, Kuyt, Toni...

All in all, whether a young player can succeed does not entirely depend on talent, but also on personal self-discipline and hard work.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind to recommend Martin, who had only played well for half the game, to BOSS.

……

Simon expressed sufficient recognition of the team's overall performance in the first half. The tactical arrangement in the second half was just tinkering without much addition.

There were still several minutes left before the second half started, and the players who had a good relationship got together.

Dalot, Diogo Costa and Felix were promoted from U15 to U17 in the same batch, and they have a good relationship. Influenced by the good relationship between Felix and Martin, the relationship between the four of them is the best in the current team.

"Brother Marco, give me another assist in the second half?"

Felix put his arm around Martin's shoulders and said flatteringly: "I only scored one goal, which is a bit less."

Dalot, who served as Martin's substitute, directly raised his middle finger: "Are you too greedy?"
