At the beginning, Messi had less time with the ball because he had a normal relationship with his teammates. But after helping Cardoso score a goal, Argentine players gradually became more and more willing to hand the ball to him.
A player relies on his own strength to win the respect of others.
Argentina's players are all very skilled players. Including Gago and Cardoso, their passing is also very good. Messi is like a dagger. After he came on the field, he made many vertical breakthroughs. Nigeria was immediately in chaos.
The defensive line was not very good to begin with. Messi's breakthrough was like entering a no-man's field.
"No wonder Frank praised it so much. This little guy is really good."
Devisel nodded. Although he didn't pay much attention to the World Junior Championships, many talented players were indeed able to show their differences when they were sixteen or seventeen years old. Just like Mei Mei who emerged in this game.
This is the case in Spain. In the first 60 minutes of the game, the most eye-catching player was Argentina's Gago. Gago was much more dazzling than Cardoso and Mikel, but when Messi came on the scene, everyone's attention was immediately focused on him.
Attracted to him.
Competitions like the World Junior Championships are games where talented players shine. Young players lack technical skills and tactics, so they use their own personal abilities more. After Messi came on the field, he immediately allowed the Nigerian national junior team to break through the defense without being tight at all.
There was a ruckus.
"Messi, Messi got the ball. Breakthrough, no one can stop Messi. Foul, Nigerian players can only use fouls to stop Messi."
"Cardoso, pass the ball... Messi, Messi got the ball, shoot!"
"Two to zero, two to zero."
Although there are few spectators, the commentators are still giving their explanations hoarsely. Before this game, many senior commentators did not know the name Messi. Because although Messi is slightly famous in Dutch football, it is just that.
In the youth league, compared to Messi, many of Argentina's national youth team players are talented players in Argentina. They have played in some international competitions, so many commentators still know about it.
However, Messi came on as a substitute in this game and attracted everyone's attention. For many outsiders, they pay more attention to attackers like Messi than appreciating midfield cores like Gago, because of this
Breakthroughs make people watch more energetically. Messi's breakthroughs are unstoppable. The effect is very obvious.
"Piete. Does he look like a young Arjan?"
Looking at Messi who is becoming more and more active, List compared him with Robben, the most popular number one talent in Eredivisie football. Robben is very good. He initially fell in love with Robben and then introduced him to Eindhoven.
It's Deviseel.
De Visser shook his head. Then he said: "No, they are not the same type. In terms of absolute speed, Messi should not be as good as Al Young, and Al Young is also better than Messi in breaking through from the wing. Al Young is very good, very good
A typical winger, but Messi is different. I think in terms of breakthroughs in small spaces, Messi should be far better than Arjan."
"Overall, Al Young is suitable for wide open play and counterattack. In the winger position, I think Al Young is no worse than Overmars before, or even better than him. But is Messi? Still too young.
But he is definitely not a winger like Ar Young."
List nodded. Messi and Robben are geniuses of the same level. However, they have different characteristics. Children are children after all. By the end of the game, the young players were tired. The game gradually became less beautiful and became more and more interesting.
Yue has become a stage for some players to perform wantonly.
"Piette, what are you going to do after the game? Are you going to stay in Finland and watch the game, or..."
As the game was coming to an end, Lister asked Deviseel.
"No. I just came here to watch the World Junior Championship out of boredom. But look at the situation. If I continue to stay in Finland, I don't know how many scouts it will affect."
"Yes. I believe that starting from the next game, the number of scouts here at the World Junior Championships will be doubled."
At the end of the game, Riester invited Deviseel to have a meal. Riester continued to stay in Finland, but Deviseel left directly. Deviseel said helplessly to Riester that he didn't even want to relax.
possible.
De Visser left, but Riester obviously felt something was different. When Argentina and Nigeria played, there were not many scouts. But by the time of the second game, Riester found that there were several times more scouts. Riester
Te smiled bitterly, these people came here because Lister and Deviseel appeared at the World Junior Championships.
…………
"Rister, how could you be so alarmed by such a small World Junior Championship? Now let me come here again."
Carvajal doesn’t quite understand. It’s not just the big-name scouts who don’t care about the World Junior Championship. In fact, the big-name agents don’t care much either. Many big-name agents won’t choose players from the World Junior Championship even if they are poaching.
He is a player in the World Youth Championship.
Carvajal is very busy now. Real Madrid has just introduced Beckham. Every time Real Madrid introduces a superstar player, it will cause turmoil in the locker room. As Real Madrid's most powerful agent, Carvajal has been busy with this issue during this time.
.And Lister and Carvajal worked together to convince the old Hill to appoint a new coach, who was Carvajal's coach.
All these things kept Carvajal busy. Unexpectedly, List invited him to Finland. If it were anyone else, Carvajal, the agent, would not pay attention to him. But List called, and Card
Vahar couldn't take it easy, so he found time to come to Finland.
"Gines, do you think I'm the kind of person who watches games in a boring way?"
"Your time is precious, I know. But my time is also precious."
Although Carvajal complained a little about List, he was also a little curious. For an agent like List, time is money. How could he have time to come and watch the World Junior Championships?
"Genes, Xiaoxiao, so many people are looking at you? Besides, I have a good reason for looking for you."
There are many contacts between agents and scouts, so List and Carvajal are sitting there and many people are watching. Because List and Carvajal are both well-known agents in European football, they appear
The World Junior Championships attracted everyone’s attention.
After hearing what Lister said, Carvajal looked left and right. He found that many scouts were looking at this side with an inquiring look. There was no way, he couldn't continue to have a sullen face. That's why Carvajal showed his face.
A formulaic smile.
"What's a good thing? Have you discovered a genius here?"
Take it as it comes. Now that Carvajal has arrived in Finland, he has slowly calmed down. Looking at so many scouts next to him, Carvajal was very surprised. When did the World Junior Championships start to receive so much attention?
of attention.
"Well. Look at the man sitting in front of us on the left. Do you recognize him?"
"You mean Steve Lawley?"
Carvajal looked at the front left. After looking for a long time, he said a name.
"Yes, that's him. Do you know him too?"
"Of course. Although I have never dealt with him, is there anyone in European football who doesn't know him?"
Although there are many scouts here today, there are not many well-known European football scouts. They are basically small scouts. But the person sitting in front of Riester and Carvajal is a top European football scout.
One of the famous scouts. In the European football scouting industry, as long as the name Steve Lawley is mentioned, everyone will recognize him. Even the big agents like List and Carvajal are the same.
This person is Arsenal's chief scout and helped Wenger introduce many good players. Arsenal had to tighten money in history. This person's contribution to being able to get through that period was great. Including Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Salazar
Players such as Nia and Clichy were all recommended to Arsenal by him.
"Any idea who he's observing?"
"who?"
"Francisco Fabregas of your Spanish national team."
"Fabregas?"
Carvajal frowned. There are many talented players in the current Spanish national junior team. Among the Spanish players participating in the World Junior Championship this time are Xavi Garcia, Jurado, and David Schier.
These players are very strong, but Fabregas is one year younger than them.
Carvajal is Spain's top agent and is familiar with the young talents emerging in Spain. Fabregas is okay, but I haven't heard that he is the best among his peers.
"Ginez. I have inside information. I heard that Arsenal's coach Wenger admires Fabregas very much. He even thought that Fabregas was the core midfielder in his mind when planning for the future of the team.
Template. That's why Steve Lawley appeared in the World Junior Championships to observe the Spanish game. In fact, he was observing Cesc Fabregas."
"Arsenal? Arsene Wenger?"
After hearing the news from List, Kavahal paused and smiled and said: "You seem to have a bad relationship with Arsenal?"
"Well, it's very bad. My relationship mainly with Jerome Anderson is not good."
Everyone in the European football industry knows this, and List has nothing to hide. But List did not care and said: "But I have a cooperative relationship with two people. One is Mark Koulou, who established a football school in Cote d'Ivoire.
, the other person is Coach Troussier. I have a very good relationship with them. Do you know what their relationship is with Arsenal?"
Carvajal shook his head. Carvajal had heard the names of Marc Culu and Troussier, but he didn't recognize them and had no interaction with them.
"Mark Culu once played football with coach Wenger. When Mark Culu was the head coach, coach Wenger used to be his assistant coach. And when coach Troussier and coach Wenger obtained their coaching certificates,
Attended a lecture in the same class."
Carvajal nodded. Carvajal has never interacted with British football, so Wenger's name is famous, but he is not very clear about Wenger's specific connections. But when Riester said this, Carvajal
I gave List a thumbs up in my heart. List had nothing to do with Arsenal, and he didn't have any business with Arsenal. But he still had such connections.
"you mean……"
"How can we let a talented player who may become the core of Arsenal's midfield in the future leave him?"
