Chapter 25
The game started, Arsenal U21 kicked off.
The moment they kicked off, three frontcourt players of Ajax U21 immediately pressed forward.
Zivkovic forced the opponent's central defender to take the ball with his back to the goalkeeper. He blocked the goalkeeper and the left line, leaving only the right side.
The central defender could only pass the ball to Bellerin on the right, because Sun Yu's position was very deep, and Bellerin could only run to the baseline to receive the ball.
Facing Sun Yu, Bellerin, who already had experience in first-team games, was not panicked. He pretended to kick the ball at Sun Yu, and then immediately accelerated to the side.
However, Sun Yu did not fall for his fake move and blocked his position as soon as he started.
Bellerin was forced to stop the ball and pulled the ball back.
Taking advantage of the moment when he pulled the ball, Sun Yu poked the ball into his leg with his left foot, and the football rolled out of the baseline.
Corner kick!
Van de Beek kicked a corner kick, and Ajax U21 players rushed forward. Bazor's header was slightly higher than the crossbar.
The goalkeeper sent a short pass to the goal kick. This time the central defender immediately passed the ball to the defensive midfielder Niles.
As soon as Niles got the ball, Riedewald came up from behind and poked the ball with his foot.
Niles could only pass the ball back to the central defender, and Arsenal U21 could only organize an attack from the backcourt again.
This time, captain Bansfield retreated to receive the ball. After getting the ball, he ran a few meters horizontally against Van de Beek, and then stopped suddenly and passed the ball to Gadolin on the left side of the midfield.
Gadolin did not stop the ball and directly rubbed the ball to the right side of the frontcourt.
Iwobi got the ball near the sideline, and Riedewald immediately stood in front of him, blocking his breakthrough and lateral dribbling route.
Iwobi pushed the ball to the sideline, and suddenly turned his wrist with his right foot, pushing the ball behind the opponent in an instant.
Riedewald immediately stuck to him and got stuck between him and the football.
Unexpectedly, Iwobi used his body to force the opponent away and rushed to the 30-meter area with him.
The left back of Ajax U21 made up for it, Iwobi protected the ball with his back, then turned and dribbled the ball, and Riedewald shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
Arsenal U21 sent a throw-in, Iwobi stopped the ball against the left back, half-turned and dribbled the ball, and when he pressed the two defenders on the penalty area line, he turned and passed the ball to Bellerin who was assisting.
Bellerin kicked the ball without stopping, and Arsenal U21 center forward Anek headed the ball in the penalty area, and Onana lifted the ball over the crossbar.
Fuck!
Is this a human?
Seeing Iwobi wreaking havoc in the frontcourt like a bulldozer, Sun Yu felt that he was more like a cheat.
Arsenal played a tactical corner kick, Gadolin passed the ball to the side of the penalty area with his left foot, and Afobe inserted and hit the ball into the side net.
Afobe later made a name for himself in the English arena. He was the kind of player who could easily score 20 goals in the Championship, but couldn't play in the Premier League.
He had five transfers in his career, three of which were for more than 10 million euros.
In the subsequent games, Arsenal U21 was still a little embarrassed in the midfield, but as long as they were allowed to reach the midfield, they could pass the ball to the two wingers.
Especially on the right side, under the impact of the right-wing combination of Iwobi and Bellerin, Ajax U21 was under great pressure on the left side.
Ajax U21 relied on Sun Yu to constantly put pressure on Bellerin, so that the opponent did not dare to press forward boldly.
In the 21st minute, Sun Yu got the ball on the left side. Facing Bellerin's defense, he changed direction three times in a row while running.
During the third change of direction, Bellerin finally couldn't hold on and was shaken off balance by Sun Yu.
Sun Yu rushed into the penalty area, and Arsenal U21's right center back and Niles rushed towards him.
Sun Yu passed the ball to Van de Beek at the edge of the penalty area, who passed the ball to the penalty area, and Zivkovic turned and shot in front of the small penalty area.
Seeing the ball heading straight for the upper right corner of the goal, Sun Yu was ready to celebrate.
Unexpectedly, the ball hit the intersection of the crossbar and the uprights and bounced back into the small penalty area.
The next moment!
Muric scored a supplementary shot on the right side of the goal, and Sun Yu immediately raised his arms, and his teammates also celebrated.
But!
Just as his teammates were ready to celebrate, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded!
Everyone looked at the referee, whose finger was pointing in the direction of Ajax U21's backcourt.
Goal kick?
Sun Yu looked at the sideline, and the linesman was still holding the flag in his hand.
Muric is offside!
In just a few seconds, the goalkeeper has put the ball on the small penalty area line.
Sun Yu ran to the backcourt while shouting: "Stop him!"
Zivkovic, who had just woken up from a dream, rushed to the goalkeeper.Even at the cost of a yellow card, the goalkeeper couldn't kick the ball out.
But it was too late, the goalkeeper had already kicked the ball to the right side of the front court.
At the moment he kicked the ball, the Ajax U21 players were all running towards the backcourt, but Iwobi still got the ball in front of them.
After Iwobi got the ball, Riedewald decisively made a tackle from the side and back.
He tackled the ball and knocked Iwobi down.
But Iwobi rolled on the ground and got up at an incredible speed, and poked the ball forward before the defender.
He caught up with the ball, rushed into the penalty area, and shot the ball into the left side of the goal.
0:1!
Damn it!
I was careless!
After losing the ball, Muric held his head, Zivkovic jumped around on the spot, Riedewald hit his face, and other teammates blamed themselves in various ways.
Ouch~!
These guys are quite demanding of themselves.
Good thing!
Sun Yu called his extremely annoyed teammates to his side and comforted them with a smile: "It's okay, don't be affected!"
"Forget it, keep working!"
The teammates agreed very happily, but they still seemed very impatient in the game.
Everyone in Ajax U21 wanted to win Arsenal U21, increase their value, and get themselves into the vision of big clubs.
The club's operating strategy is very clear, training players and selling them to the four major leagues, and everyone is destined to not stay in the club for long.
For such a game, at least most Premier League teams will send scouts to investigate.
In such a situation, everyone played very anxiously.
As a result, the more anxious they were, the easier it was to make mistakes, and the team made another mistake in the next game.
In the 35th minute, the right back assisted in the frontcourt and forced a cross when the opportunity was not good.
The defender cleared the ball out of the penalty area, and Niles passed the ball to the left side of the midfield
The right side was empty...
After receiving the ball, Afobe broke through to the front court along the left side, and Arsenal U21 formed a three-on-three situation in the front court.
Ajax U21 central defender came up to fill the position, and Afobe passed the ball horizontally to the middle.
Center forward Anek held off another central defender at the edge of the small penalty area and passed the ball back to Iwobi who came in from behind.
Iwobi shot hard against the defender, and the ball hit the defender's leg and refracted, flying into the right side of the goal.
0:2!
Sun Yu looked at the backcourt with his hands on his waist, and Onana was angrily hitting the grass with his fists.
We have to think of a way. If we continue to play like this, we will be defeated by the opponent.
After the restart, Arsenal U21's pass was smoother. Bellerin stood in the corner of the penalty area when he received the ball, pulling Iwobi back to the midfield to hold the ball.
As a result, Ajax U21's first line of defense was somewhat useless, and Arsenal U21 played more calmly.
After thinking for a while, Sun Yu took advantage of the dead ball to walk to the sideline and shouted to Stam: "Boss, I have an idea."
