Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Colney Training Ground, London, Hertfordshire.

First team training ground.

Wenger, who was watching the players training, received a call from his old buddy Steve Rowley. He explained a few words to his assistant Steve Bould and then headed to the office building.

Log in to your mailbox and open the email.

【Absolute genius! Dominant super full-back! If you miss it, you have to wait another twenty years! ! 】

"This guy is still such a clickbait."

Wenger raised the corner of his mouth and realized something was wrong with the title. He muttered: "Aren't we going to inspect Rafael Leo, Joao Felix and Diogo Costa? I remember they are not full-backs. What's going on? ?”

Wenger, who has always liked to promote young talents, has been searching for talented young players around the world, so he often asks Steve Rowley to inspect the world.

Having said that, he still had great trust in his old partner who had worked with him for many years. He held the mouse with his slightly trembling right hand and clicked to download the video.

"It turns out it was this Martin who I called before, so I just said..."

Wenger then remembered that the phone call just now was too noisy and he couldn't hear clearly.

The recorded video is carefully edited and lasts for more than half an hour.

"Why does the highlight of a game take so long? Could it be caused by my lack of flexibility like me?"

With doubts, he picked up the reading glasses placed on the computer desk, put them on, and began to watch the video sent by Steve Rowley seriously.

When the video is played, the first content displayed is the basic information of the players.

"Martin?"

Wenger frowned, especially when he saw that the nationality column was Dragon Country, he had the idea of ​​turning off the video.

Out of trust in my old partner, I continued to look down.

The current captain of Porto's U17 youth team. He was once selected for Portugal's U15 national youth team and U17 national youth team. He completed the naturalization procedures for the Dragon Country in the middle of last month and serves as a right back...

"No wonder he is valued by Steve. He has been selected for the Portuguese national youth and national youth, so his strength should not be bad."

Seeing this, Wenger became serious and even sat in a straighter posture.

Features: Robust defense, calmness far beyond his peers, very fast, excellent back-and-forth running ability, abundant physical fitness, strong control of the rhythm from defense to attack, and a relatively accurate cross.

Weaknesses: Slender body, insufficient confrontation ability, dribbling and ball control ability needs to be improved, weak header ability, may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League in a short time...

Summary: Has all the qualities to be a top full-back.

"It seems that Steve is very optimistic about this young man named Martin~"

The text explanation ends and the real highlight begins.

Martin's game video highlights.

Facing the optimistic 99-year-old talented winger Leo, Martin performed very calmly, fighting and retreating.

No matter how the opponent used fake moves, he remained unmoved. It wasn't until Leo couldn't hold back his anger that he made a breakthrough with the ball.

The moment he made his move, he was very decisive and didn't give Leo a chance to react.

Then he unexpectedly launched an attack, handed the ball to his teammates, and then ran at full speed along the right sideline.

The widened attack angle is perfect.

It is very smart to use unreasonable speed to accelerate the ball when receiving the pass from his teammates, which fully makes up for his weak personal dribbling ability.

During the high-speed running process, he also took the time to observe the movements of his teammates. His field of vision was relatively wide, and he was very thoughtful in passing the ball to Felix, who was unmarked at the back point.

The original intention of sending Steve Rowley to Lisbon was to inspect Portuguese talents such as Felix, Leo, Diogo Costa, Ruben Dias, etc., so he had a special understanding of these players.

As Arsenal's meritorious coach, his coaching career has just entered its 30th year. Naturally, he knows that Felix's goal is actually very simple. On the other hand, Martin's pass is more difficult.

The next game still showed a very high level, the defense was watertight, and one man was in charge.

The offense can also intervene in time to give teammates the greatest support.

The rhythm of the transition between offense and defense is very accurate, and the round-trip ability is indeed excellent, but the passing ability needs to be improved.

Accurate crosses are all based on unmarked situations.

As long as the defenders tighten their defense, the accuracy of crosses will plummet.

After watching the entire video, Wenger had a general understanding of Martin.

Based on the characteristics shown in the video, he is indeed very talented.

However, the team's main right back is French international Debuchy, and the substitute is Bellerin, who was poached from Barcelona.

No matter how talented Martin is, he can only serve as the second substitute!

In addition, there is Owen Moore in the youth academy.

The most important thing is that according to his personal information, Martin's nationality has been changed from Portuguese and Argentinian dual citizenship to Dragon Country, and there is no way to directly apply for a labor certificate.

Even youth team echelon and reserve team competitions are not eligible to participate.

It is difficult to continuously become stronger through training alone. Only by conducting high-level training and participating in high-quality competitions can players realize their talents step by step.

Even if they are bought by then, they will be loaned to satellite clubs. The lack of personal guidance will be very detrimental to the growth of young players.

With this in mind, Wenger called Steve Rowley back.

Martin's abilities and talents are indeed rare. The problem is that he cannot apply for a labor certificate due to his current nationality.

However, we can continue to follow up and investigate, and only when Martin has the potential to become a top player will he find a way to pass the special talent clause.

After all, this thing can only succeed once a year.

Besides, the Premier League emphasizes physical confrontation. With Martin's current thin body, it is difficult for him to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and he may even lose confidence because of this.

Not worth the candle.

……

Steve Rowley smiled bitterly after hanging up the phone. He had basically guessed that Professor Wenger would not agree to sign Martin immediately.

He was really optimistic about Martin's talent, so he recommended it to Wenger after watching a game.

But it's a pity.

At this time, he couldn't help but think.

The media, which is afraid of chaos in the world, reports from time to time - [Temperature Difference Sign].

In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. It is undeniable that Wenger is indeed good at discovering young demons and has achieved extraordinary results.

It is precisely because of this that he will fully consider various factors, so that he ultimately misses talented players.

For example, La Masia originally recommended signing Messi and Pique, but due to various factors only Cesc Fabregas was signed.

Then, he remembered a scene that happened in Southampton eight years ago. The situation was almost the same as today.

There were two great talents in Southampton's youth training, and they lived in the same dormitory.

It could have been possible to sign two talented players, but at that time, in order to pay off the debts of the newly built Emirates Stadium, they had to save money and save money.

Considering that Ashley Cole and Clichy were available at left back, Bale was abandoned and only Walcott was signed.

When I mention my thin body, I think of Yaya Toure who I was optimistic about back then...

Steve Rowley smiled when he thought of this. He felt that he was thinking too much.

At most, he believes that Martin can reach the height of Ashley Cole. How can he become a green giant like Bell and Yaya Toure?

As the most professional scout, I just feel sorry that the unit failed to sign a talented player.

"By the way, after inspecting several talents in Portugal, we will go to Norway. Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland can be paid attention to. I will send you an email with the specific information."

After half a minute, Wenger remembered something and made another call.

……

The match between Porto U19 and Sporting CP U19 ended at the community professional football field outside the Portuguese national training base.

Affected by the overall strength gap, the game trend was one-sided.

0: 3.

The same was true for the U23 game that was played later. In the end, Sporting CP U23 easily won the game.

That night, after watching the three U-shaped games, the scouts began to summarize and pay attention to the players' technical characteristics and shortcomings, and whether they were in line with the club's concept of recruiting players. After sorting out, they sent it to the sports director.

The assistant coaches of Sporting CP and Benfica reported the day's game status to the head coach in person, while Porto assistant Pablo Sanz reported to Lopetegui on the phone.

The three teaching assistants have different words, but they have one thing in common.

That is, Martin of the Porto U17 youth team performed very eye-catchingly, showing great dominance, covering the entire right wing, especially suppressing the talented winger Rafael Leao.

Huge contrast, isn’t it coming out?

Lopetegui suddenly became interested after listening to his assistant's report, but considering that the first team's right back position was fully staffed, he instead told Pablo Sanz to continue to observe Martin's performance.

If the performance against Benfica U17 continues to be excellent, and there are injuries when the league gets heated, it can be prioritized.

For example, Ruben Neves, who he just promoted, is very talented. He has shown a very high level of training and is extremely calm-minded. He is a typical young man.

With a little cultivation, you can completely stand on your own.

Martin, who was playing on his mobile phone at the Portuguese national training base, naturally didn't know that he had become the focus of everyone's attention. He just wanted to play with his mobile phone happily and wait for his roommate Felix to fall asleep before going to the toilet before entering the system training ground.

At this moment, the system wizard's voice sounded in his mind: "Host, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

"You said."

"Actually, you only have consciousness when entering the system training ground, and your body is still in the real world."

"????"

Martin's pupils shrank sharply: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The system wizard felt aggrieved: "You didn't even ask~"
