Looking at the whole of Europe, the matches between youth teams are basically close combat.

This fact should surprise many domestic fans. In his previous life, Sun Yu also realized that this was the original appearance of youth training football after the Internet exploded.

In the era when football bloggers did not become popular, most of the youth football videos that people could access online were wonderful clips of Ronaldinho, Messi, Neymar, Kaka and Robinel.

Although this is also youth football, it can only be regarded as heresy in the football world.

Real youth football is often that two teams of equal strength have good tactical capabilities, but it is very likely that they will fight in close combat from the first minute to the last minute of the game.

The younger the age of the echelon, the more exaggerated the intensity of physical confrontation, and the scenes of continuous passing and cooperation can be counted on one's fingers.

The reason for this phenomenon is actually very simple. In the youth stage, the young players are in the growth and development stage, and the physical ability gap is not large.

So what is presented in the game is fierce physical confrontation.

Everyone's technical and tactical abilities are not bad, and the competition is who can play their own tactics in a high-intensity game.

Therefore, once a player with a quick mind, superb skills, or outstanding physical ability appears in the game, he will be particularly eye-catching.

Iwobi's attack just now was a bit like a cheetah entering a flock of sheep.

After losing the ball, the Dortmund U21 players put a lot of intensity on Arsenal U21, especially Bansfield, who went from Dortmund youth training to Arsenal youth training, who kept repeating the action of taking the ball and lying down.

Twenty minutes later, the Arsenal U21 players gradually adapted to the opponent's rhythm and played the rhythm of Arsenal's first team.

Although the passing and control seemed a bit immature and there were no particularly outstanding midfielders, Arsenal U21 still pressed the opponent in the 40-meter area.

Iwobi and Bellerin's right completely blew up the opponent's left, and Arsenal U21's midfield almost stuffed the opponent's defense into a sieve.

At the end of the game, the score on the electronic timer was 4-0.

Arsenal U21 showed off Dortmund U21's eggs.

If Arsenal U21 had not started to make substitutions early after taking a three-goal lead, a tragedy would have occurred.

In the Wenger era, Arsenal fans could recognize four or five youth training kids every season.

By the season when Sun Yu traveled through time, the appearance rate of Arsenal kids had already been somewhat similar to that of Real Madrid.

The Premier League in the next ten years will belong to the mature Manchester City and the passionate Liverpool, and the average age of Manchester United and Arsenal fans will inevitably be on an upward trend.

Manchester United can at least kick the game out of the traffic bureau, while Arsenal, which has re-entered the championship group, is stable and unfamiliar.

After returning to the hotel, Sun Yu did not go to the gym to lift weights. He swam in the swimming pool for 20 minutes and went back to the room to rest early.

Because the interval between the two games is only two days, muscles need time to recover.

If you train too hard in these two days, you can't play the game well.

Stam didn't let everyone idle at all. At 8:30 in the evening, he summoned the players to the conference room for a tactical review class.

In order to prevent players from slacking off, Stam often randomly selects a player to summarize the problems in a video after playing a video.

Every player must be strong when encountering such a tactical class.

Moreover, sometimes when someone else's video is selected, hiding it will offend the head coach, and being open and honest will sometimes offend teammates.

Stam is not afraid of trouble and encourages players to point out the team's shortcomings.

If the person whose shortcomings are pointed out is dissatisfied, the two may quarrel on the spot.

In addition to controlling personal attacks, Stam allows players to speak freely at other times.

Half of the one-hour training session is spent on debate.

This is a new atmosphere for the team after the roster is stabilized.

Stam also said bluntly in his summary after the meeting: "In my team, all performances on the court can be discussed."

"Even if someone thinks that the team's tactics are problematic, the player committee can come forward to discuss."

"One point I want to share is that most choices in the game are highly subjective and there is no right or wrong."

"Should the winger pass or shoot at the edge of the penalty area?"

"Should the central defender pass or clear when he gets the ball with his back in the penalty area?"

"These choices will never have the right answer on the court, but we can reach a consensus in the discussion."

"Team sports are a process of mutual compromise. An excellent team does not necessarily require everyone to perform brilliantly."

......After the meeting, Sun Yu was still thinking about Stam's words. Middle-aged people do have a deeper understanding of things.

Onana was still angry about the debate, and his performance was not enough.

For many players, tactical review is like a debate.

The highlights or mistakes visible to the naked eye cannot be washed away, but the seemingly true and false pictures often make everyone argue red in the face.

The next morning, Sun Yu looked for yesterday's game news on the hotel's newspaper rack.

The first thing that caught his eye was The Sun, and every page was filled with shocking headlines.

Sun Yu skimmed through the text news and turned to the third page first.

Well, it is indeed easier to read pictures than text.

Thanks to his original body, Sun Yu mastered Dutch, English, German, Spanish and basic Italian when he traveled through time.

When he wanted to pursue professional football at the age of 13, his father required him to master the languages ​​of the countries where the four major leagues are located.

Sun's father's reason was simple: "If you want to succeed in this path, you must not limit yourself to the Netherlands in the future. If you want to go to the four major leagues, you must not let language become an obstacle."

Under the guidance of his father, the young master mastered German and Spanish within a few years.

Most people in Amsterdam communicate in English, and Sun Yu did not have much trouble in English.

"Fuck, it's so big!"

"Is it real or fake?"

Today's Page 3 girl is very technological, but there is nothing special about it except that it is big and round.

In addition to the Page 3 girl, Sun Yu is not very concerned about other gossip news in The Sun.

Looking through the Manchester Evening News, the newspaper used a large page to report yesterday's game.

The news criticized Lingard for not performing well enough and was completely crushed by Sun Yu.

The author spoke very directly, almost in a face-to-face way, pointing out that Lingard's performance was not as good as a player three years younger than him, so what qualifications does he have to play for Manchester United?

However, the author packaged Sun Yu and Van de Beek as the "Ajax Twins" and did not single out Sun Yu for a special mention.

And Sun Yu's Chinese identity was only mentioned briefly. After all, where does an Ajax player come from have anything to do with an English team?

It seems that one game did not bring much attention to Sun Yu, and there is a long way to go in the future.

Sun Yu was very interested in this morning's schedule. The host Arsenal invited the other three teams to visit the Colney training base and reportedly showed the club's new achievements.

Entering the Colney training base, Sun Yu understood one thing. It turned out that Arsenal had been engaged in big data since 2014.
