Being able to perform well in the reserve team is actually nothing.
However, if you can show excellent extraordinary skills and excellent physical fitness, it will be different.
After all, whether a person is skilled or discerning can be seen at a glance.
And this young man who looks a little thin has such skills on his feet.
He constantly toyed with his opponents, getting rid of one opponent after another, and then scored goals for his team through passes or his own breakthrough shots.
It was an almost crushing performance.
"This kid is progressing too fast." Ji Ya sighed.
"He is only sixteen years old and three months old. His future is very promising," Prost said.
"That's him." Ji Ya said.
This promising young man has a great last name - Chamberlain.
For young Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, he never doubted how brilliant his future would be.
After all, some talents can be seen at a glance. With his talent, even in Southampton, which is famous for its youth training, it is very rare. Coaches at all levels think that he will be the next Walcott.
The next Bale...and his characteristics are very similar to these two already famous seniors.
He has excellent foot skills and fast speed. He can play any position in the frontcourt. He can create opportunities through breakthroughs, shoot on his own, and pass the ball to his teammates to create murderous opportunities... Such a player will be popular everywhere. He is comprehensive.
Attacker.
So when he saw Ji Ya appearing in front of him, he was not too surprised, but naturally thought that he should join the first team as soon as possible.
"Alex? Come on, your next training ground will be with the first team." Ji Ya said to Chamberlain.
Chamberlain nodded and followed Ji Ya naturally. Of course, he did not forget to say hello to Prost before leaving.
Prost looked at Chamberlain's back with relief, he was the most outstanding player among this group of players.
Next, Southampton's youth training camp will definitely be able to cultivate better players...but it still needs to add something.
Just when Prost was thinking about how to get some money from Ji Ya to upgrade the youth training camp facilities, Ji Ya had already brought Chamberlain to the first team, and then arranged a training session.
The Southampton players are not surprised by the arrival of a new player in the youth training camp. After all, many of them came here like this, but a guy who is only sixteen years and three months old has entered the first team.
, which is indeed quite surprising.
But after one training session, everyone knew that this kid was a genius.
Yes, as the saying goes, some geniuses can be seen at a glance, and Chamberlain was such a genius.
Everyone is lamenting that Southampton has more and more excellent attackers. After selling two main forwards and one main attacking midfielder, many people are worried about who Southampton will rely on to score goals in the new season.
, but look now, is this still a problem?
of course not.
Lambert, Giroud, Lallana, Mkhitaryan... now there is another Chamberlain.
Although so many attackers seem to be a bit too many, proper rotation will always bring benefits.
Chamberlain also knows that even if he is a genius, it is still almost impossible to become the main force immediately. In the next half of the season, he will get more opportunities to play and train with the first team to adapt to better players.
Playing together, accumulating enough experience, and then trying to be the main player next season, this is the normal process.
This has nothing to do with genius or not. Bale was even more talented back then, and he could only gradually play the game at Tottenham.
Although Southampton is far inferior to Tottenham now, the laws of football itself still need to be recognized.
But after three days of training, he headed to the away game against Northampton on the weekend, and Chamberlain's name was clearly on the list!
Not only the playing list, but also the starting list!
Even reporters who have been following Southampton for a long time were confused by this!
What the hell is this!
Although they all know that there is a genius named Chamberlain in the Southampton youth training camp, and they also know that this kid will become a member of the first team sooner or later, but he just entered the first team training the day before yesterday and started in the FA Cup today?
This is too much of a joke!
Then the more sensitive people will immediately become excited.
Chamberlain was born on August 15, 1993, and the next game was on November 28, which means that when Chamberlain played, he was only 16 years and 105 days old!
This allowed him to break the record originally set by Theo Walcott as the youngest player to play for Southampton at 16 years and 143 days!
Although Southampton is now down to League One, such a record will still surprise people!
As a result, before this game even started, it was already being wildly hyped by many media.
Only then did Ji Ya realize that he had made a mistake.
He didn't think too much about it at first, because he just wanted to have a capable person take the substitutes in the away game, so as not to have any offensive ability. Chamberlain is such a capable person, it's as simple as that.
However, he thought simply, but the intervention of reporters and Chamberlain's age made the matter complicated.
Seeing so many people paying attention to what was originally a meaningless game, Ji Ya also became a little nervous - he was not nervous about anything else, but worried that Chamberlain would lose his balance.
Once the first game is poor, it may bring a shadow to the young players, which will have a huge impact.
This is not an unfounded worry. Many talented players did not get off to a good start in the first official game, resulting in a huge impact on their subsequent performance.
So on the way out, Ji Ya had been secretly observing Chamberlain, and then found that this boy seemed a little heartless. He was listening to songs and shaking his head all the way, but it didn't seem to have any impact at all.
Ji Ya was finally relieved.
And in the next game, Chamberlain did not disappoint everyone.
The content of this game is actually a bit lackluster. Northampton's strength is very average. Even without Chamberlain, Southampton may not be able to win easily with the ability of Southampton's substitute players, but it is not difficult to maintain a draw.
.
Chamberlain's performance on the court was quite outstanding.
Those opponents at a lower level could not stop his roaring breakthrough. Every time Chamberlain got the ball, he was able to bring huge destructive power, disrupt the opponent's defense, and then create opportunities.
In the end, although he didn't score a single goal or directly assist in this game, all three goals were passed out after he attracted enough attention, and then his teammates easily cooperated to score the ball.
