Chapter 4: Counterattack starts now!

After barely supporting for twenty-five minutes, the substitute's goal finally fell.

Steve and the wing forward made consecutive wall-like two-pass and one-on-one cooperation on the left side, leaving the substitute team's wing defenseman and the midfielder who followed him behind, and then a beautiful cut came to the front of the penalty area, and a shot made the football draw a rainbow-like arc in the air and shoot into the net on the right side of the goal.

1 to 0!

Ryan Mason couldn't help but applaud Steve's wonderful performance, either.

The substitute team members were even more convinced, as if Steve was born to be the best among them, and scoring such a wonderful goal was just his basic fuck.

Only Chen Xiaoliang was dissatisfied with his eyes. His eyes did not let Steve go every frame of his movements, and even the swing of the corner of his clothes was firmly seen and remembered in his heart.

Fifteen minutes later, the game came to the fortieth minute.

Ryan Mason turned around and walked to Chen Xiaoliang and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Xiaoliang understood that it was time for him to play.

"Go up and feel it first, so you don't have to warm up in the second half."

"Thank you, coach!"

Chen Xiaoliang took off his coat and walked to the sidelines.

All the players on and off the court were surprised. Unexpectedly, the head coach would replace Chen Xiaoliang at this point in time.

The players of the main team were secretly happy and thought that the substitute team was sent off, and the next game would definitely be better.

The substitute team was dejected and had been pressed to move in the middle of the game. If you replace Chen Xiaoliang, who can't do anything, how can you play this ball...

However, Ryan Mason also has his own abacus in his heart.

Since you see Mourinho visiting the training ground in person, you should let your proud disciple Steve perform well. If you can join the first team one day earlier, even if you are a substitute in a useless game like the League Cup, it will be far better than the U18 league, and can help Steve quickly increase his ball.

At the same time, when the game reached 40 minutes, it was the time when the physical strength was approaching the trough in the first half. At this time, Chen Xiaoliang could not only allow him to play for a while, but also relieve Steve's pressure and allow him to retain his strength in the second half.

Steve on the field naturally understood all this. He watched Chen Xiaoliang run to his side and sarcastically said: "Hey! Chen! I will be shaken to the sky later, don't cry and go home, haha!"

Chen Xiaoliang glanced at him gloomyly, and his other murderous aura made Steve immediately shut up.

The game continues!

Except for Ryan Mason, everyone else was stunned in surprise. They actually saw Chen Xiaoliang like a piece of candy, following Steve.

Whether it is offense or defense, with or without the ball, Chen Xiaoliang will follow him immediately wherever Steve runs.

What is this way of playing?!

And a player who is a forward is a registered position, how can he do defensive work?

The players couldn't help looking at Ryan Mason, but saw him calm and expressionless.

"Is it the coach's special arrangement? The intensive training for Steve?"

"No matter what... why do you think so much, how could Chen Xiaoliang be able to defend against Steve!"

Chen Xiaoliang also understood that although his steals were full, his physical fitness was still so ordinary. There was still a clear gap compared to Steve, who had received professional training since childhood.

Fortunately, I just started playing and had the advantage of physical strength, so I could follow him without any hesitation.

Five minutes passed quickly, and there was no stoppage time, and the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

The two teams returned to the bench respectively, and Ryan Mason came to the substitute and arranged a defensive counterattack to the players - this is also the most suitable way to play for this team at present. When the technical ability and physical fitness are not as good as the main team, blind attack will only cause more defensive loopholes.

But Steve was talking to the players incessantly on the main team.

"Listen, keep pressing in the second half! Pass the ball to me more."

"Okay! Steve, how can you win only one assist?"

The players echoed.

"Why did the coach ask that boy from the Red Country to watch you?"

A player asked.

Another player pushed the questioning player with his elbow, and then shook his eyes across the court.

Everyone looked over and their faces changed drastically!

"Why is he here?!"

"No wonder, the coach wants Steve to perform well!"

Steve couldn't help but raise his mouth, but he said, "We all have to perform well, score at least three more goals in the second half, and we must score beautifully!"

"good!"

Ryan Mason, who was setting up tactics on the other side, heard the shouts of the main force, and knew what was going on in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The second half begins!

The main team kicks off!

Starting from the middle circle, the main team members were pressing forward like a tide, constantly compressing the space of the substitute team through short passes and pressing the substitute team back to the vicinity of the penalty area again.

In order to maintain ball possession, the four defenders of the main team passed the half-time, and the two full-backs frequently switched positions with the wingers and cut in, attracting the defenders to leave the defensive position like wingers.

Ryan Mason couldn't help feeling relieved and proud when he watched this scene. After all, this team was trained by him. Such tacit and wonderful cooperation also reflects the tactical qualities of a youth training coach.

But there is one thing that is exactly the same as the last five minutes of the first half, that is, Chen Xiaoliang still followed Steve, following like a shadow, and never leaving.

Chen Xiaoliang did not forget the importance of this game. The process of the game can not only determine his player career, but also determine whether he can complete the tasks arranged by the system.

After several passes, the ball came to Steve's feet. When the players of the main team saw Steve holding the ball, they all moved closer to the opponent's penalty area. After all, he might pass a threatening ball at any time, so naturally everyone cannot miss the opportunity.

Steve didn't take Chen Xiaoliang seriously at all. After more than two months of training together, he had already known how much the boy in the Red Country was. Even the youngest young player in the team was much better than him.

He took a few steps and carefully observed his teammates' running. Suddenly, he discovered an open space in the penalty area. He was about to pass it with a kick, but found that he had kicked it out!

I looked down and saw that the ball was gone!

What the hell!?

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang had already run behind him with the ball.

"Damn, this kid!"

The fleeting pass space was inexplicably destroyed, and before he could see clearly what was going on, Steve was furious and strode back to chase the tackle, dribbling the ball to knock Chen Xiaoliang down.

"Beep!"

The referee whistle sounded, Steve fouled!

The referee took out a yellow card!

The substitute team free kick!

"Damn it! I'm not right?"

"That kid actually broke Steve's ball in an instant?!"

"Steve is obviously getting ahead! That tackle was for revenge!"

The players on the bench whispered.

Ryan Mason was also surprised. He thought that Chen Xiaoliang was angry for a moment, but he thought that the last game would satisfy the wish of this hardworking and hardworking boy from the Red Country, but he didn't expect that he came to be true! He really broke a ball for him! The break was both straightforward and decisive!

"Steve!" Ryan Mason shouted on the sidelines, seeing Steve look back at him, pointing his finger at his temple.

This is warning him to calm down.

Although Steve was angry, he immediately realized that he was impulsive, because this game was not just a team training game, but an important game that could change his life!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Mourinho. Seeing that he seemed to be looking at him, he couldn't help feeling nervous and excited!
