I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

It wasn't long before the start of the game. Li Long looked at the opponent's players and was really a little surprised, because this time Portugal played almost the official team of Portugal, almost the first team of the Portuguese National Youth Team.

Li Long took a closer look and found that the man wearing the No. 8 jersey was Ruben Neves, the powerful midfielder who would join Wolves in the Premier League in the future.

Not only that, Li Long also saw Gonzalo Guedes, who was still the same Gonzalo Guedes who transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for 30 million euros, and was bought out by Valencia for 40 million euros after being loaned to Valencia. gedes.

Seeing the lineup of the Portuguese National Youth Team, Li Long broke into a cold sweat. Li Long did not expect Portugal to attach so much importance to this warm-up match.

Because this game was a warm-up match for the youth team, there were not many spectators, and there were even fewer fans in Huaxia, and many of them were relatives of the players.

In this game, Li Long put on a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper: 15 Ding Zheng;

Guards: 5 Yan Zihao, 3 Zhao Wenchao, 4 Micro Motion, 2 Huang Baiwen;

Midfield: 7 Wei Shihao, 11 Zhang Xiuwei, 20 Wang Jinxian, 6 Long Cheng, 13 Duan Yunzi;

Forward: 9 to Bai Xu

The game started unknowingly, and it only started more than 8 minutes. Li Long's face was like the bottom of the pot. In the 3rd, 6th and 8th minutes, Portugal scored three goals in a row.

Just 8 minutes into the game, the Portugal National Youth Team had already led the Huaxia National Youth Team 3-0.

Although Li Long was well prepared, he was still surprised by the strength gap between the two sides. Of course, the heavy rain and harsh weather greatly affected the Huaxia players.

But the biggest problem is the incomprehension of China's defense line, and the players have not yet entered the state.

Although this was just a warm-up match, Li Long was unspeakably angry. He turned to the players on the field and blamed them dissatisfiedly. Li Long was very dissatisfied with the team's defense, which was too easily penetrated by the opponent.

Only then did the players slowly regain their form, and the defensive end gradually stabilized.

Although the defense is better, the scene is still controlled by Portugal. The defensive end can only barely guard against the opponent. The midfielder can't hold the ball at all, and the ball has always been at the feet of the Portuguese players.

Finally, there is Xiang Baixu on the front line. Xiang Baixu has been praised a lot recently. After joining Ligue 1 Saint-Etienne, some media began to praise Baixu.

But Li Long knew that Xiang Baixu was like that. In Li Long's previous life, Xiang Baixu returned to China after staying in France for a year, but after returning to China, Xiang Baixu didn't have a chance to play. Xiang Baixu's career can be regarded as going downhill.

In this game, Xiang Bai Xu was completely invisible. He was fighting against the opponent's body, and he was also behind in an all-round way. As long as the Portuguese team pressed Bai Xu, Xiang Bai Xu could only pass back.

Several physical confrontations ended with Bai Xu falling to the ground, which brought the Huaxia National Youth Team's offense to a stalemate.

Fortunately, the defensive end has improved. Among them, Zhao Wenchao had several outstanding performances. In terms of physical confrontation, Zhao Wenchao can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. However, Zhao Wenchao used his hard work to complete several beautiful defenses.

Huaxia's other teammates slowly looked at this newcomer with admiration, and began to slowly recognize Zhao Wenchao.

In the end, the first half of the game ended with a score of 0 to 3. The Huaxia National Youth Team fell behind the Portuguese National Youth Team.

Compared with the relaxed Portuguese players, the Huaxia players were already panting, and all the players in the locker room lowered their heads.

Li Long looked at the players who lowered their heads with a very serious face.

"I'm very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half!" Li Long said seriously.

After hearing Li Long's words, the players lowered their heads even more.

"First of all, we have to admit the gap between the two sides, but this is not an excuse for you to give up the game."

"The only thing you did well is that the defensive end was okay later on." Then Li Long recognized the defensive end, and his performance after conceding three goals in a row, if not for their hard work, the field would definitely not be 0 to 3.

Next, Li Long began to talk about the next tactical changes, but Li Long could tell that the morale of the players was still low, and Li Long knew that changes had to be made in the second half of the game.

"In the second half of the game, we need to strengthen our offense. In the second half, Tian Runtao, you go!"

When Tian Runtao heard Li Long's words, his eyes lit up. Tian Runtao didn't expect that his national debut would come so fast. Tian Runtao was already ready to sit on the bench for 90 minutes.

After all, Xiang Baixu was well-known among them. Although Xiang Baixu did perform poorly in this match, he did not expect that Li Long would actually replace him.

Li Long not only replaced Xiang Baixu, Li Long also replaced Gao Zhunyi. Gao Zhunyi is undoubtedly the best among them as a central defender, with a strong ability to recover quickly.

But in this game, the Huaxia team was already at the back, so Portugal had no way to play behind, and Gao Zhunyi's physical resistance was insufficient, so Li Long replaced Gao Zhunyi.

Li Long asked Liu Yiming to come on as a substitute. Of course Liu Yiming is not good in terms of strength and potential, but Liu Yiming is tall and relatively speaking, he is better at physical confrontation.

The second half of the game had just started, and Huaxia even changed two people. In the first half of the game, Xiang Bai Xu was like a soft persimmon, being ravaged by the Portuguese defenders at will.

So when Tian Runtao came off the bench, the Portuguese players thought that since Tian Runtao was a substitute player, he must be inferior to Xiang Baixu, so they decided that Tian Runtao was also a soft persimmon.

But soon they discovered the difference. Compared with Xiang Baixu who fell down at the first hit, Tian Runtao was completely worthy of them in terms of physical confrontation, and they even found that Tian Runtao couldn't be hit at all.

This surprised them very much. In their minds, Asian players generally lack physical confrontation ability.

In Li Long's previous life, Wu Lei, the hope of the whole village, suffered the most after coming to La Liga because of his physical confrontation.

Not long after the game started, in the 51st minute, the Huaxia team got a corner kick, and Wei Shihao was responsible for taking the corner kick.

Wei Shihao took a corner kick and the football fell to the midpoint. Although Tian Runtao was a high point, because he underestimated Tian Runtao, there was only one central defender in front of Tian Runtao.

Tian Runtao's judgment on the football's placement was very accurate. Tian Runtao went around in time and stuck the opponent's central defender behind him.

Tian Runtao's sudden appearance surprised the opponent's central defender, and then Tian Runtao jumped high, thinking that the opponent's central defender did not react to Tian Runtao's sudden jump.

So he didn't take off at all. In desperation, he could only use his hands to pull Tian Runtao's jersey. However, this had no effect on the strong Tian Runtao. Tian Runtao jumped very high like a rocket.

Tian Runtao's head was firmly on top of the football. The ball was so fast that the Portuguese goalkeeper couldn't react at all, and the football flew into the goal quickly.

The Huaxia National Youth Team scored a goal 1-3!
