Speaking of children's games, there is indeed nothing interesting to watch. In Rist's view, football is a men's sport, especially a sport of strength. Regardless of leagues such as the Premier League and Bundesliga, where physical strength accounts for a large part, there are also some in the Spanish league.
The collision of physical strength. The professional league, the professional league, is completely different from games like the World Junior Championships. A professional league without physical confrontation is not a professional league.
Why is it said that a small proportion of players who come out of the World Junior Championships become famous in the end? In fact, it is for this reason. Because they are all children, their physical development is not very good. Therefore, some players whose physical development is relatively early can easily become like this.
Stand out in the competition. But when everyone is physically developed, if you don’t have solid basic skills and outstanding awareness, you will be lost in the crowd.
There are many players with special skills who can easily become famous in a competition like the World Junior Championship. Just like some people are fast, some are big, and some are good headers, it is easy for them to become famous in the World Junior Championship.
.But once you enter the professional league, it is difficult to become the world's top player just by relying on these things. And as they grow older, many young people can't stand the gap, and their performance becomes worse and worse.
Lister was watching the World Junior Championships from above and couldn't help but yawn, because the World Junior Championships were really not good to watch. In other words, these kids were just running around and couldn't see much of the technical and tactical content.
However, the more chaotic the game, the more we can see some players with outstanding awareness. Like Argentina's Gago, Nigeria's Mikel, these midfielders can see their strength at this time. Looking at Gago
And Mikel's performance. Lister suddenly thought of one person, that is Cesc Fabregas of the Spanish team.
Among his peers, that is, among the players of the 1987 generation, Fabregas is definitely one of the most talented. Speaking of which, Fabregas' talent is not lower than Messi, nor is it lower than other players of the 87 generation. He is also 87
The first player of a generation to become famous, he was already a talented player who became the core of Arsenal's midfield before he was twenty years old.
Both Gago and Mikel are so outstanding. They have already stood out from the crowd in the world junior championships. Fabregas, who later made a sensation in the entire European football world, will be so outstanding. Riester is really looking forward to it.
"Leo, warm up."
There were some tangles in the game. Argentina had the advantage on the field, but could never score. Argentina's midfielder was far stronger than Nigeria. And it was not generally strong. Argentina's current midfielder includes their captain, who is also their defensive midfielder.
Golia. Next to him is the midfield playmaker Gago, and in front is the talented attacking midfielder Cardoso. This combination firmly suppressed Nigeria.
But because they were still unable to score, Ferraro, the head coach of the Argentina national junior team, asked Messi to warm up. This national junior team had been established for some time, and Messi almost only joined when the World Junior Championship was about to begin.
Ferraro was very dissatisfied at first, but he had no choice. Because this kind of thing is too common in South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil.
Not to mention a small national youth team, even the national youth team, the national team will have such players. Because many powerful agents in South America will do this. Let their players join the national team before the start of the competition.
.
Ferraro is an academic coach. He is well-known in Argentina, especially in coaching the youth team. He has a temper, so he doesn't like Messi. Because he knows that Messi can enter the Argentine national youth team because of Hidalgo.
The Argentine upstart agent said hello. But when Messi was actually in front of him, Ferraro was simply shocked. Because Messi is so strong, he is a top talent.
However, because Messi has not practiced with other players and has just been selected for the national youth team, it is unfair to other players to play the main role. Therefore, Messi can only sit on the bench in the first game. Now the game cannot start
In this situation, the first thing Ferraro thought of was Messi.
"Piette, look at my players coming on."
After all, Messi is Liszt's future ace player. It can even be said that Messi will be the superstar who can truly overwhelm the crowd and make Liszt the de facto number one agent in European football. So Liszt is particularly proud of him when he is mentioned.
"Are you confident?"
De Visser also knew that Eindhoven has the genius Messi before. But he is a scout. Compared with the Eindhoven youth training camp, he pays more attention to other players scattered around the world. Therefore, watching Messi’s games
I don't know many people. I just saw a little bit of his training when I passed by occasionally. So I'm not very sure about Messi's strength.
But now I am very curious. After all, if you can let a big agent like List put down what you are doing and come to watch Messi's game, you know that Messi must be outstanding. Among the many players like List, there are
Several people deserve List's attention.
"It's not that I'm very confident, but I have absolute confidence in him."
When Lister and Devisel were chatting, Messi was already standing there waiting for the chance of a dead ball. Messi was also nervous. A few years ago, he thought he was going to give up football. But now he is standing there in the world.
In the junior competition arena.
"Leo, don't worry about anything else after you go up, just break through. Break through into their penalty area."
Ferraro patted Messi on the shoulder and made some arrangements. After all, the World Junior Championship is just a game for children, and their biggest shortcoming is technical and tactical aspects. In the professional league, defense and offense are very strict. But in the World Junior Championship,
Show more personal strength. In fact, their defense has a lot of holes.
Therefore, Ferraro's idea is very simple. It is to let Messi break through and use his extraordinary ability to break through. Nigeria's defense is not strict, so if a player breaks through very well, he can immediately disrupt the opponent's defense. Messi comes on the court
Then he stood on the left. Because in the Eindhoven youth training camp, Messi played on the left and Afellay played on the right.
The World Youth Championship is different from the World Youth Championship. The World Youth Championship is a U20 competition, so many talented players have already made their mark in professional leagues. Players such as Messi, Rooney, Cesc Fabregas, Aguero, and Torres
, when he reached the age of U20, he was already a talented player that attracted attention in European football, and he was the ace of a strong team. Even if many people are not as good as these top talents, they have also begun to appear in professional leagues.
Therefore, during the World Youth Championship, the strong teams were somewhat familiar with each other. But there is no such thing in the World Youth Championship. After all, players under 17 years old, no matter how talented they are, cannot be very powerful. So when Messi plays,
The Nigerian players didn't pay much attention. It should be said that they didn't know what Messi meant. They basically didn't know the Argentinian players. The commentators were also explaining with the list.
"The player coming up now is called Leo Messi. He is only 16 years old this year. He comes from the youth training camp of Eindhoven. Before this World Junior Championship, he had no experience in participating in Argentine teams at any level. Since then
According to the information, he left Argentina when he was eleven years old, came to the Netherlands, and joined the youth training camp of Eindhoven. He entered the list of the Argentine national youth team at the last moment."
"Biglia passed the ball to Gago. Judging from the previous games, Gago is the conductor of the Argentine national team's midfield. Gago's skills are good, and the Nigerian players quickly formed a circle.
Gago is surrounded."
Nigerian players are a typical African team. Although they are all 16 or 17 years old, their physical fitness is very good. They can run and grab. The moment Gago gets the ball, a bunch of people come to defend him.
Gago. This is not their tactics, but their ability to run. Cardoso has already run to the right. Cardoso and Gago have cooperated for a long time, so they have a good understanding.
"Jago, pick the pass."
At this time, among a group of children, Gago has an obvious advantage in vision. This is the talent of some players, such as Cesc Fabregas. They can show awareness beyond their peers at a very young age. The same is true for Gago, a group of Nigerians
The players gathered around, but Gago passed the ball calmly.
"This is the left wing. Messi, who just came on the field not long ago, got the ball. Messi took the ball and walked directly into the penalty area."
Although he has been undergoing treatment, Messi's body is not strong. Especially compared with Nigerian players, he looks even thinner. But when Messi faced the first Nigerian defensive player, everyone discovered that Messi is thin.
The talent contained within your body.
Messi's passing is not as elegant as Zidane or Bergkamp, nor is it as violent as Bale later. But Messi's passing is direct and can be seen in a small area. He is facing someone who is a head taller than himself.
The Nigerian defender, Messi suddenly accelerated to the sideline and passed easily in the small space. However, none of the Nigerian players defending Messi made any reaction.
"Messi's explosive power is good, he passed easily. Messi passed one, and then another."
When Messi is passing people, he reflects the amateurishness of the defense of the Nigerian national junior team. Although Messi often has extraordinary performances at his peak, it is not that easy. Because at that time, the defense was all about
Layer after layer, it is the overall defense. But the defense in events like the World Junior Championships is loose.
"Three, three. Messi, who just came on, passed by too easily. Messi, cross!"
Messi broke through from the left and passed three people in a row. Nigeria's defense players are very strong, but they all became decorations in the face of Messi's breakthrough. Messi broke all the way to the bottom line and then made a cross pass.
"Cardoso, Cardoso, shoot!"
"One to zero, one to zero. The Argentine national team attacked the opponent for 60 minutes without any effect, but Messi broke through Nigeria's door in just six minutes."
