Chapter 19
July 23.
Ajax youth team flew to London, where they will play two games.
The invitational tournament divides four teams into two groups, the winners play in the finals, and the two losing teams play in the third and fourth place finals.
Logically speaking, in such a game, the host Arsenal is likely to invite Barcelona.
Sun Yu heard Onana say that there are no particularly strong players among the Barcelona U21 players this year.
This may be the reason why Arsenal did not invite the other party. Without the little demon, there is no value in close observation.
Sun Yu asked Onana what the name of the most powerful player of Barcelona this year was. Onana thought about it and said two names: "Dennis Suarez and Munir."
OK, it's okay.
It's true that they are not familiar.
After three weeks of continuous experience, Sun Yu, whose data has improved, also wants to meet these talented young people from European giants.
After looking at the list of participants on the Internet, I can only say that the landlord's family is not rich.
There are only two players in Manchester United U21 who have become famous in the Premier League. The first is Jesse Lingard and the second is Michael Keane.
Now Lin Huang has a bit of his peak period. He was loaned to two teams in the English Championship last season. He played 30 times in total, scored 9 goals and made 7 assists.
Lin Huang is about to turn 22 years old. He has entered Manchester United's first team. It is said that Van Gaal likes him very much. This time he asked him to participate in the invitational tournament just to practice.
Hearing about this person, Sun Yu was full of energy.
This is the best opportunity to compare with the talented new star of England.
No matter how Lingard played later, at least he was the second best player among the young left wingers in England and the absolute main force of England U21.
The best player is naturally Sterling, who appears once in decades. The Liverpool demon is the absolute main force of England U17 and U19, and now he has become a member of the England team.
In the direct competition with Lingard, Sun Yu said that he would compete with the opponent in data.
Sterling will be the winner of the Golden Boy Award in 2014. If Sun Yu is completely overwhelmed by Lingard in a direct dialogue, it is really a bit unreasonable.
Michael Keane has also been transferred to the first team. Van Gaal will play with three defenders in the new season. He said in an interview that he would closely observe this tall defender during the pre-season.
In addition to these two players, what Sun Yu did not expect was that Januzai was also on the list of players.
This left winger, who is the same age as Sun Yu, has entered the Manchester United first team last season and played 28 times for the team.
Januzai is a player that Ferguson focuses on training. He is considered to be the next Ronaldo of Manchester United.
When Ferguson retired, he specifically entrusted Januzai to Moyes and asked him to focus on training Januzai.
Moyes did the same, but he was dismissed in less than a season at Manchester United.
Van Gaal, who took over Manchester United after the World Cup, obviously does not intend to take over the baton of training Januzaj. Manchester United is fully pursuing Di Maria, who has lost his position in Real Madrid this summer.
Manchester United has now become a hot potato. Van Gaal's goal in the first season is to get Manchester United back to the Champions League. It is impossible to let go of training Januzaj.
In the past two days in London, Sun Yu was unable to practice more due to the team's unified schedule.
But he still pulled the team's physical trainer to practice strength in the hotel gym. Anyway, time cannot be wasted.
July 25.
Meadow Park Stadium.
Ajax Youth Team and Manchester United Youth Team will compete for the first game.
In the locker room.
Stam stood on the tactical board, moving the cylinders representing the players with his hands, and said loudly: "When the opponent's players get the ball in the backcourt, we must block the front and let Lingard go back to the midfield to get the ball."
"Once he returns to the midfield, Muric and Bazoer will double-team him. If you can't defend him, knock him down first."
"If they give the ball to Januzaj, first defend him from cutting in and shooting. He is not skilled with his right foot."
"Their two central defenders are traditional English central defenders. The wingers try to shoot low and flat, and the height is between the knees and waist. The position of the pass is Try to keep the position between the center back and the goalkeeper. "
"If the opponent's wingers are in the midfield, Bazoer and Riedewald can boldly press forward, and the center back should maintain the position between the midfield. "
"When the team presses forward, Onana can choose to press forward, but Lingard should pay attention to his position when he gets the ball. "
"Zirkovic plays a supporting role in this game. Your task is to support the two wingers and then turn around to enter the penalty area to grab points. "
"Van de Beck can arrange his own space in the midfield, but he must pay attention to his position. "
"If the offense forms a relativelyHold, give priority to passing the ball to the left, Sun Yu should pay attention to accuracy when passing the ball, and never give them a chance to counterattack. "
Stam explained the strategy of the game clearly in a few simple words.
Even if he had to confirm that the relevant players had received each point, the entire tactical arrangement took only a few minutes.
Stam played for Manchester United for three years as a player, and he was very familiar with the characteristics of his English counterparts.
In the last game, the old player who was originally the main defensive midfielder often lost his position in the game due to insufficient running ability.
The day after the game, Stam moved Bazoer's position from central defender to defensive midfielder.
In this way, Van der Beck has black and hard in front, behind, left and right, and the team's mobility has been improved to a higher level.
Stam didn't plan to speak again after arranging the tactics, and Sun Yu immediately took over and said: "Guys, don't forget to stand up on the court!"
"Manchester United is the best club in England, Ajax is the best club in the Netherlands, and you have to get excited from the moment the game starts!"
"They have a few good players, but we are stronger! ”
“Don’t be timid! Don’t be afraid! We all rely on each other!”
“They are the ones who are afraid, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent three first-team players!”
“Let’s do it!”
Led by Sun Yu, the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became lively.
Although the loss to Sparta Rotterdam was a bit demoralizing, the victory over Bilbao Youth Team made all the players believe that they must be a member of a strong European team.
It turns out that every step on the long road is worth it.
When the players of both sides walked into the stadium, Sun Yu habitually opened the attribute panel.
Shooting 70, Stopping 73, Dribbling 79, Passing 51, Crossing 43
Long Shot 64 , Heading 41, Set-piece 63, Explosiveness 75, Speed 82

Overall Evaluation: Leading Player in the Dutch Second Division.
Compared with the last game, his ball stopping, passing, crossing, long shot, bounce, physical fitness, vision, prediction and defense all increased by 1 point.
In this game, he must make Lin Huang suffer a little.
