Football: The immortal legend on the green field

This summer camp elite competition is a good opportunity for those who are interested to select the team's reserve forces, and the news that has leaked out before has also been widely circulated in the circle, especially for those teams with financial difficulties.

The boxes at the stadium were fully booked a few days ago. When Arsene Wenger came to the VIP area of ​​the podium, he frowned. He saw Mourinho of Porto and Zaccheroni of Juventus there.

It seems that more than one person is interested in these young players. He has no feelings for Mourinho, but Juventus, which has always been accustomed to thriftiness, is more worthy of his attention.

Wenger took time out to return home to watch this game after receiving a report from the team's scouts. It seems that he is not the only one who is interested. He looked up at the box high above, wondering how many people have gathered in the French town today. This is the most noteworthy Coca-Cola Summer Camp in more than a decade.

It seems that his news was a little delayed. He couldn't even book a box and had to squeeze together with the summer camp team. He didn't want to be exposed, which would bring considerable trouble to his transfer.

Seeing that Zaccheroni was exposed in public like himself, he felt relieved. It seemed that the news was no longer a secret in the circle. The young people who performed well in this game will receive widespread attention, and he will face fierce competition from other teams.

The importance of this game varies among major European clubs. As all the clubs want to keep a low profile, the media is not paying much attention to this game. Only a local TV station in Nice broadcasted this game live.

Even so, they still invited French football legend Papin as the guest commentator. Announcer Tavaré glanced at the information he had received in advance and said, "Welcome to France Nice Cable TV. Now we will broadcast the exhibition match between the 2004 Coca-Cola Football Summer Camp 96-97 age group international youth team and the 98-99 age group international junior team.

The starting 11 of the International Youth Team are goalkeeper: Joe Hart from England.

The back line from left to right are Argentine Zabaleta, Englishman Cahill, Italian Bonucci and German Hummels.

The double defensive midfielders are Mascherano from Argentina and Carlos Sanchez from Colombia, the left midfielder is Di Maria from Argentina, and the right midfielder is Ozil from Germany.

The forwards are Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal and Benzema, a native French player.

The captain on the field is Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the No. 7 jersey. They are wearing white jerseys today.

Their opponents were an international youth team who were two years younger than them and wore red jerseys. The captain of the international youth team was Shen Bin, a Chinese from a football desert.

Other players of the International Youth Team include Neuer from Germany as the goalkeeper and the defenders from left to right are…”

After announcing the starting lineups of both teams, Tavaré asked Papin beside him: "Mr. Papin, what do you think of this game?"

"This is an unfair contest. After all, Ronaldo's team has a two-year advantage in age over the team led by Chinese player Sen. You know, before the age of 20, although age is not everything in youth competitions, when both sides are the best players of their age group selected from the world and the difference in technical and tactical advantages is not too obvious, then age can represent everything.

Although the Chinese player's performance was impressive, football is an 11-man sport. If Messi of Barcelona was still around, they probably wouldn't have their heads shaved. Now? They can only pray to God to let them lose fewer games so that the score won't be so glaring..."

"I saw that you mentioned three names in your evaluation just now. Are they the best among this group of players?"

"It looks like this now, but I am more optimistic about the future of Messi and Ronaldo. As for Sen, we have to wait and see, because he is involved in too many areas. If he does not change his current development path, he will be the worst among the 22 players on the field."

Tavaré asked in confusion: "How can I put it? Isn't it more advantageous to have comprehensive skills? What you just said seems to be a little different from what the majority of fans think. Can you explain it in detail to the fans?"

Papin paused and organized his words, "In the sports world, some events are like this, such as gymnastics, but not football.

Can you imagine a football player in the world who is Beckenbauer, Pirlo, Zidane, Maradona, oh, yes, he also has an accurate long pass and good free kicks, plus Beckham, a combination of all these people.

If he has such omnipotence, he is not just a star player, he must be God. "

Tavaré in front of the camera nodded, agreeing with Papin's statement.

Martin Ferguson in the box smiled to his brother Alex Ferguson: "His analogy is very appropriate, isn't it?"

Ferguson withdrew his gaze and looked at the TV screen in front of him. He was also very conflicted. If he recruited this kid as his own, it would be a difficult choice as to how to train him. The TV camera stayed on the podium in the audience and stayed on Wenger and Zaccheroni for a few seconds.

Ferguson spat on the floor shamelessly, "This old guy, he is indispensable everywhere."

“The game was already in the eighth minute, and the International Junior League team had managed to fend off the International Youth Team’s fierce attack after the start of the match. It must be said that their defense played very well.

The two defensive midfielders of the youth team were able to withstand the attack of the youth team. David Silva not only defended well, but also sent a long pass to his Spanish compatriot Torres who was cruising in the midfield in the only counterattack opportunity. Unfortunately, under the fierce pressure of the Italian Bonucci, he still failed to show his lightning speed. "

At this time, Papin took over Tavaré's words, "The youth team is now in a dilemma. It is not enough to have only one counterattack point in the front court. There must be other people to attract part of the opponent's attention. Under Bonucci's key care, his attack can't play a substantial role.

But if another striker Balotelli also participates in the defensive counterattack, the youth team's midfielders Mascherano and Sanchez will be able to easily organize the attack, so that they will concede goals sooner.

Balotelli's entanglement with the two defensive midfielders of the youth team still played a harassing role, preventing them from organizing the attack comfortably. The two wingers of the youth team, Di Maria and Ozil, are not organizational talents. They can be regarded as wingers who drag back a little. Although the youth team seemed to be attacking fiercely and kept pressing the junior team, it was difficult to pass threatening balls.

After the youth team's attack reached the 30-meter area of ​​the goal, they could only rely on Ronaldo's personal ability.

The Chinese player Sen played a key role. He was always able to predict the opponent's passing routes in advance. This extraordinary talent makes it difficult to find talented players like Sen in today's professional, assembly-line training model.

Facing the youth team's strong offensive power, Shen Bin had no chance to display his offensive talent. He put all his energy on the defensive end. This is what I said at the beginning: the age gap represents everything. "

"According to statistics, Shen Bin has successfully intercepted no less than three threatening passes in this short ten-minute match.

But just now, this amazing oriental teenager made a fatal mistake. He knocked Ronaldo to the ground with a tackle outside the penalty area. The slow motion showed that although his tackle was very standard, Ronaldo still fell 28 meters away from the goal.

Until now, Ronaldo has not stood up from the ground. Oh my God! That looks really painful! "
