Chapter 61 How will you know if you don't try! (Please add to your favorites)

"GoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaL!!!!"

Sitting on the bench, Yang Fan watched He Chaoyue's goal on the field and naturally took on the role of commentator.

"Old He's goal in the 89th minute killed the game!"

"A classic He Chaoyue-style cut-in and curling shot! Congratulations to the Green Lions for defeating the group seed team Torino U15 youth academy team 3-0!"

"Of course, we can't forget Yang Fan, who opened the scoring for the Green Lions. As a full-back, he sprinted 80 meters to help the team open the scoring and was also the best player of the match!"

Yang Fan's teammates looked at him with disdain as he made strange noises.

Best player?
He Chaoyue, who scored two goals, or Wei Lai, the midfield interception machine, should be the two who deserve to win the best player award!

What are you?!
The Green Lions won their first match, sweeping their strong opponent 3-0. They not only secured the victory in this game, but also pulled off a major upset in this international invitational tournament.

On the field, the players shook hands and bowed to the audience before returning to their own half of the field.

Compared to the jubilant young lions on the green field, the Torino U15 team was clearly demoralized.

At first, they did look down on the Green Lions, thinking they could easily defeat their opponents.

But the game didn't go as they expected at all; in fact, you could say they were completely outplayed.

As a seeded team, it's really hard for them to accept this result.

But in football, only the victors are remembered and the losers are condemned.

A win is a win!

If you lose, you lose!

Moreover, even if they wanted to find a reason, they couldn't find a suitable one, since they really didn't play as well as their opponents.

"Everyone worked hard today and got off to a good start, but we can't let our guard down. After all, the tournament has just begun, and there are many more tough battles to come that require our focus."

Tong Xianfeng gave a speech, admonishing the young players to avoid arrogance and impetuosity.

While defeating Torino U15 is a cause for celebration, there are other, stronger teams in the tournament, and they will need to maintain absolute focus.

After the first day of competition ended, they immediately took a car back to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Wei Lai saw Mediterranean scout George standing at the door.

"Let's talk?"

Wei Lai turned to look at Tong Xianfeng, who nodded and said, "Let's talk in the hotel restaurant!"

Wei Lai, Liang Xu, and George walked toward the restaurant together.

As a representative of the Willys Football School, Liang Xu naturally had to participate in the exchange between the scouts and Wei Lai.

"My name is George Clooney, a British freelance scout. My main resources are concentrated in the various leagues of England, including Scotland and Ireland, and I also have some resources in France and Germany!"

George was the first to introduce himself.

But both Wei Lai and Liang Xu simply nodded.

The key word for free agent is 'free'.

No employer!
There are no affiliated clubs!
He can say whatever he wants about his own resources.

George noticed Liang Xu's nonchalant expression, then smiled and pulled out a stack of documents, saying, "This is my list of recommendations for this year. I successfully recommended seven players for trials, six of whom are scattered across various levels of youth training in England, and the last one..."

George simply pulled up an English news article on his phone and handed it to him.

Liang Xu took the phone and glanced at it, exclaiming in surprise, "Frey West?"

The English news headline reads: "French prodigy Frey West joins Premier League club Tyne United."

Tyne United is a mid-table Premier League team based in Newcastle, England, but for a 19-year-old to be playing in the Premier League is already a remarkable achievement. Furthermore, the article does mention the story of George scouting and recommending Frey West as a free agent.

Seeing the surprised expression on Liang Xu's face, George smiled and nodded before getting back to the main topic;
"I intend to collect some information about Wei, including match videos, various data, and communications."

After saying that, he looked at Wei Lai and asked, "How's your English?"

Wei Lai said in typical Chinese pronunciation, "Not very good, but we can barely communicate."

George smiled and said, "Communication is very important. You can learn to improve your English. Even if it's not the Premier League, it can be a help in other leagues."

Wei Lai nodded, then looked troubled and said, "Please speak a little slower, I need to think for a moment."

George nodded; "No problem. Now, I'll start asking questions, and you just need to answer them."

Wei Lai indicated that he understood.

"My first question is, what do you think is the function of a midfielder?"

Wei Lai replied without hesitation, "Connection! To make the game run more smoothly, but different measures must be taken depending on the situation. At the same time, all of this is also related to tactics, so it can't be explained in a few words. Do you want me to explain in detail?"

George looked surprised and nodded, saying, "If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more."

Wei Lai nodded, and he began to pour out his understanding, along with some undigested insights he had gleaned from Casemiro, Kanté, and even the hairdryer coach.

Time passed slowly, Wei Lai spoke, and George took notes.

But the more George documented it, the more alarmed he became.

Wei Lai has a deep understanding of the game, including specific tactical statements, choices in different situations, and various other things.

He could even give examples of the choices he would make in different scenarios.
Although Wei Lai's account was somewhat disjointed and lacked clear logic, it precisely reflects the fact that the young players have not yet experienced the baptism of professional football.

Even so, Wei Lai's understanding of the game and tactics is beyond the reach of young players.

"Is this all your understanding?" George asked, his wrists aching slightly as he swung the two pages of notes he had filled.

Wei Lai tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I guess so. Although I can't do it very well yet, I'm trying to become better."

"What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses?" George continued to ask.

He wanted to test whether Wei Lai had a clear understanding of himself.

"I have many shortcomings. My basic skills are not solid enough, and I also have many deficiencies in all aspects. For example, my long passes, shooting, and set pieces all need to be improved. Moreover, my ability to adapt to the pace is not particularly good. If the pace is faster, I may not be able to keep up. In fast-paced games, when people suddenly rush in front of me, I can't react in time. This requires me not only to have a good feel for the ball, but also to have enough observation and the confidence to adapt to the fast pace. So I am working on improving my basic skills so that I can be more at ease when handling the ball!"

"Secondly."

"Furthermore."

Listening to Wei Lai's eloquent speech, George reached out to stop him.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Wei Lai looked up, puzzled.

George grinned; "I'd like to ask, what is your benchmark?"

Without a second thought, Wei Lai replied directly, "My profession!"

George rubbed his temples and said, "You're only 15! Isn't that too early?"

Wei Lai blinked: "It's getting late. Didn't someone in Spain play in one of the top five leagues at the age of 17? Besides, there have been some talented players in football history who were able to play in professional leagues at the age of 16."

George grinned; "You think you can play in a professional league at 16?"

Wei Lai laughed and said, "How will we know if we don't try?"
