-----
The Vitesse youth team players did not expect to lose the city gate at the beginning of the game. The Ajax youth team players felt that it was natural.
This was, of course, related to their long-standing sense of superiority over their peers in the Dutch football world.
Even for young players like Buhari and Cameron, the competition in the team was fierce and sometimes they were obviously inferior to their teammates. However, as the representative of Ajax, they certainly had a sense of superiority when compared to the youth teams of other clubs in the Dutch football world. Their overall strength was also stronger than their opponents.
This was because more than 80% of the best young players in the Netherlands were in Ajax.
Brinder did not show a smile or excitement after seeing the goal. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered.
He was recalling the entire process of the goal just now.
Although Qin Xiong and Shabalala could break through the opponent's defense with their speed and technical advantage.
However, to break through the opponent's entire defensive system in the middle and back field, the two still relied on cooperation.
And in this cooperation process, Qin Xiong took the initiative to maintain a distance with Shabalala so that Shabalala could decisively send the ball out and ensure the quality of the ball was based on the foundation.
Brinder naturally knew Shabalala inside out. He knew his strengths and weaknesses.
But he was very unfamiliar with Qin Xiong. He only observed him during the training this morning and was not comprehensive enough. The process of the goal just now let Brinder see that Qin Xiong was very talented in driving his teammates' organization ability!
Some players were overflowing with talent but thought highly of themselves. They needed their teammates to cater to them and cooperate with them.
And some people took the initiative to drive their teammates on the basis of their talent!
Between the two types of talented players, which was rarer and more valuable? Obviously, it was the latter, and Qin Xiong already had the shadow of the latter.
Shabalala also felt that the goal had been very easy. Ajax had always played in an offensive formation. He had never emphasized or used the definition of an all-out attack. Therefore, when attacking, he would spread out in multiple spots and try his best to occupy as much of the field as possible. This would allow him to tear apart the opponent's defensive formation to the greatest extent. However, Shabalala's mid-range and long-range passes tended to make mistakes. This made it very difficult for him to complete multiple combinations with his teammates.
But in the cooperation with Qin Xiong just now, not only was Qin Xiong's pass to him very comfortable, but Qin Xiong's receiving distance also allowed him to decisively send the ball out without too much observation of the overall situation.
In fact, his view of the overall situation was also very bad. The function of connecting him with Qin Xiong was to prevent him from exposing his flaws to the greatest extent.
This was actually the most basic meaning of a team's cooperation: complementing each other.
The moment Qin Xiong scored, Moops and Ilmas, who were sitting on the substitutes' bench on the sidelines, felt their heads explode. It was as if the sky had collapsed. They knew that the better Qin Xiong's performance was, the higher the probability of him being valued by the coach, and this would further squeeze their survival space in the team.
What was even more unacceptable to them was that it seemed that the teammates around Qin Xiong seemed to have improved their performance on the field. They could not understand. They really could not understand. How could Shabalala, who used to dribble the ball into a dead end and make mistakes in passing, be able to cooperate with Qin Xiong to create an impeccable perfect goal!
Shabalala smiled on the field and took the initiative to reach out and high-five Qin Xiong when he walked back. Buhari laughed and ran over to congratulate Qin Xiong on his goal. They were not too excited to celebrate. They were simply happy as if they were playing an ordinary entertainment game.
Qin Xiong was thinking as he walked back.
It could be said that the level of Vitesse's youth team did not pose much of a challenge to him.
Louis Van Gaal's judgment of people was still very accurate. He believed that Qin Xiong staying in the youth team was a waste of time. This was not an exaggeration, but a judgment based on facts.
Ajax, the most outstanding youth team in the youth training, had the strongest group of youth players in the Netherlands. Qin Xiong had already shown that he surpassed them during the trial. Was there still a need to play in the youth league?
Without Qin Xiong, this Ajax youth team would definitely beat Vitesse's youth team. If they were forced into a draw or lost, it would be an upset.
Although the game was not challenging for Qin Xiong, he still seriously thought about the little things that he had observed during the process of the goal.
The reaction of the opponent's midfielders and defenders was normal. It was just that their physical explosive power and speed could not keep up. As for the other team cooperation details and individual characteristics, the information that he had observed and captured was not enough to make a deeper judgment.
He walked back to the backfield and the game started again.
Vitesse's youth team kicked off. The opponent had just lost the ball and wanted to immediately equalize the score. Therefore, they immediately pressed forward with their formation and attacked as a whole.
Qin Xiong's position kept retreating and he came to the front of the penalty area to act as a barrier. He noticed that Wiltonghen, the defensive midfielder, had a poor sense of positioning and prediction. He was especially hesitant when it came to making decisions. Sometimes, he wanted to rush up and steal the ball, but he was wavering. Qin Xiong was worried that the opponent would suddenly launch a wave of accelerated attacks and Wiltonghen's defense would be useless.
It could be said that Qin Xiong was taking the initiative to help Wiltonghen fill the position.
Vitesse's youth team captain, Lahnsana, had good overall strength. If compared to his peers, he was stable and did not have any obvious weaknesses. His speed was comparable. In other words, if compared to Wiltonghen, Lahnsana's speed was not inferior. However, Ajax's two midfielders, Qin Xiong and Sha Balala, were rare players with off the charts.
Moreover, in terms of age, Lahnsana was two years older than Wiltonghen and appeared more mature.
Therefore, when they pressed half of the field to organize the attack, Wiltonghen finally chose to take the initiative to steal the ball. Lahnsana was already prepared and confidently changed directions to dribble the ball past his opponent.
But just after he had dribbled past Wiltonghen, Lahnsana was surprised to see Qin Xiong cut across his dribbling path and used his body to block his path forward.
The ball was lost!
After Qin Xiong blocked Lahnsana with his back, he did not force the ball. He passed the ball to Timisala on the flank and then turned forward. Timisala passed the ball back to Qin Xiong. It was a two-versus-one pass.
Qin Xiong turned forward. Just as he controlled the ball, the opponent's midfielder, Millsman, closed in. This player's defensive action was a little dirty. His hand pulled Qin Xiong's jersey inconspicuously and stuck close to his body before he kicked Qin Xiong's supporting foot. Qin Xiong had to lean his body forward to make a breakthrough. Millsman immediately retreated to follow, but Qin Xiong instead took a step back and widened the distance between him and Millsman. He pulled the ball to the left and Millsman subconsciously moved a step to the same side. However, he was following passively and the rhythm was different. Qin Xiong took the initiative. Therefore, before his foot touched the ground, Qin Xiong immediately kicked the ball in the opposite direction. When Millsman's center of gravity fell, Qin Xiong's second move had already come out and brushed past him diagonally!
Just after breaking past Millsman, Qin Xiong looked up to observe the front.
Sha Balala ran forward and was already in a very good position to receive the ball.
However, Qin Xiong found a better passing route!
The Vitesse youth team's offense was pressing forward. There was a lot of space between the rear defensive line and the penalty area. The winger, Cameron, stuck close to the opponent's full-back and looked back at Qin Xiong with anticipation.
Qin Xiong did not let him down. He decisively kicked the ground and sent the ball straight out. The speed of the ball was very fast and it rolled directly across the midfield area. Then, it passed through the gap between the opponent's full-back and center back. It could be said to be a straight pass like a scalpel!
Cameron's speed advantage in Ajax's team was not obvious. However, he gained an advantage against the Vitesse youth team's full-back. In addition, he consciously avoided offside and took the initiative to start the ball.
This was the embodiment of the best opportunity to switch between offense and defense. It was nothing new in Ajax's training. However, on the field, it was rare to find someone who could play it perfectly with a clear mind at all times.
Cameron, as the winger, cut into the penalty area from the flank and did not get greedy. He knocked the ball to the middle and passed it to Babel, who was not marked. Babel pushed the ball into the empty goal and scored.
Ping! Bang!
One minute into the match, the Ajax youth team played a table tennis game.
2:0.
The 16-year-old Babel was extremely excited. He laughed when he scored the goal. Cameron turned around and pointed at Qin Xiong. He raised his right hand and gave a thumbs-up from afar.
Qin Xiong's lips curled up slightly. He was not very proud. In fact, when he saw his teammates score, he also felt happy. Football was a team sport. Any emotion was contagious. If his teammates were happy, he would be happy too.
Brinder could not help but applaud on the sidelines.
He applauded for Qin Xiong.
With one interception, he resolved the dangerous situation of his defensive midfielder losing his position.
With one pass, he got rid of the opponent's counterattack.
With one direct pass, he helped the team to break the goal with a flash attack!
Qin Xiong was not the one who scored the goal. Qin Xiong was not the one who assisted.
However, what Qin Xiong did in less than 10 seconds turned the situation around. The essence was in those 10 seconds!
The Vitesse youth team players on the field, including the youth team manager and substitute players on the sidelines, looked at the unfamiliar Asian face on Ajax's youth team. They could not help but ask in their hearts: Who is he? (What a good event for a pie in the sky. Cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
