"This is a perfect cooperation! It is also a perfect performance by Lu Yang!"

"This is San Remo Connection again! This is the victory of Italy Youth National Team, and it is also the victory of San Remo!"

"Goalkeeper Treola's position is accurate."

"Versace put enough pressure on Chalobah that Chalobah's header was not strong enough to return the ball."

"Soguer took the risk of being kicked in the head, took the football away in advance, and completed the interception!"

"Canyes drives forward with the ball, no one can stop him! He can't move the ball any better!"

"Lu Yang knocked back, Moric hit the wall and hit it straight!"

"You can't believe how happy San Remo is at this moment with these players!"

The commentator discovered another bright spot!

To win this victory, every Italy Youth National Team player present today must have contributed.

But you have to admit, San Remo is really awesome to buy.

For a moment, people were a little confused.

Italy Did the youth storm of football start with the National Youth Team, or did it start with San Remo?

England players are confused.

Rahim ran from the frontcourt to the midfield. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that Italy had scored a goal. He instantly relaxed and knelt on the ground, covering his face.

He knew they were finished!

This time England Youth National Team's European Under-21 Championship journey is over.

They have four points, and Italy, which defeated them, has six points. They can't qualify no matter what.

Although there may be a minute or two left in the game.

But it makes no sense anymore.

It is difficult to qualify even if it is tied.

Similarly, Mancini covered his head with his jersey in frustration.

He didn't know what to say.

Blame teammates?

Yes, today his teammates were simply shown off by Lu Yang.

But with Lu Yang in his current state today, who can guarantee that he won't be shown off by Lu Yang?

Those stopping the ball and passing the ball, if you are a normal person, you would never imagine that it is a performance at the level of a football champion.

Didn't Mancini feel numb just now from Lu Yang's behind-the-back pass?

Perhaps, if I had continued to work hard before the team was tied 2-2, the result would have been different.

Mancini is speechless.

He knew that no matter how impressive his statistics were in this game, he could never be considered successful.

Because true success comes from comparing yourself with yourself.

In this game, he obviously has not been able to do his best.

Soon, England National Team served again.

But the referee did not give them more time and blew the whistle three times to end the game.

At this moment, Italy Youth National Team's substitute players, coaching staff, Cortino and others all rushed into the stadium and started the most enthusiastic celebration.

A few minutes ago they were celebrating a goal, but now they are celebrating a win!

They retained their chance to qualify!

At the same time, on another court next door, Spain did not leave immediately after playing Poland.

After a simple celebration, they gathered around the court and looked at the tablet in the coach's hand.

The game of England VS Italy is being broadcast live above.

When Soguer cleared the football to the feet of Canyes, all Spain players turned into fans of Canyes, and they cheered for Canyes's dribbling.

But when Canyes made a long pass, they fell into depression.

Because Mancini has caught up with Lu Yang who is about to catch the ball.

But then, they collectively knelt down.

Back pass!

This is definitely artist-level football!

Finally, when Lu Yang pedaled his bicycle in front of the goalkeeper England, they had already been captured by Lu Yang.

"GOAL!"

Spain fans collectively jumped up and celebrated enthusiastically after the referee ended the game.

Italy won!

England only has four points!

Italy Six points!

Spain is also six points!

But according to the relationship between victory and defeat, Spain ranks first among Group A!

They became the first team to advance to the semi-finals of this year's European Under-21 Championship!

They were sent to the semi-finals by Italy!

"LU!"

Spain The players therefore chanted the name Lu Yang!

And this became one of the headlines in the Spain football magazine A Bola the next day, no less than the news that Enriquez led the team to victory with two goals and one assist.

<The Armada reaches the semi-finals, Spain Youth National Team has four goal differences in three games and is invincible!>

<Four goals and two assists in three games! Enriquez perfectly interprets the word core!>

<Lonely hero! Enriquez liberates his nature, scoring 13 times in the game and leading the team to upgrade!>

<The strongest opponent has been eliminated! Spain Youth National Team's odds of winning have skyrocketed!>

<Genius stop! Italy youngster picks the ball with his heel and passes the opponent like crossing the road in the early morning!>

<European Under-21 Championship's best goal has appeared! The top three are all LU!>

<Who is the LU that Spain players worshiped collectively after the game? Forty-three goals and 23 assists! The editor will give you a primer on the legendary career of "Oriental Continent"! >

<Sixty goals and thirty-three assists in a single season, what kind of monster is England facing!>

<Ninety-three goals scored in the season! Almost breaking 100! Even in Serie C, this is an unbeatable statistic! >

<The overthrow of England was already a sign, young general Lu Yang once led his team to counterattack AC Milan!>

<Giant killer! Strong team nemesis! This young player deserves the attention of all fans!>

<Italy The storm of youth San Remo! Six San Remo players all performed well against England!>

Media from all walks of life flocked to the event.

But a day later, they completely exploded.

Because the competition between Group B and Group C has completely ended.

As for Group B, the host Germany National Team lived up to the arrangements of their football association. Facing three weak opponents, they achieved three consecutive victories.

They are also the only team to maintain a complete victory in European Under-21 Championship so far.

Germany National Team takes the lead with nine points.

The other teams of Group B are interesting. Serbia and Austria tied with each other. This was the only point they got.

Denmark has two wins and one loss, and has the same six points as the next door team Italy. However, they only had one goal difference in the two games they won. In the game they lost to Germany, although they scored two goals, they were conceded seven goals!

It's not unreasonable for Germany's China National Football Team to have no friends. As a result, Denmark's goal difference fell to minus three, and it was directly squeezed into the back by Italy's goal difference of zero.

In the case of Group C, Romania has one win and two losses, and is at the bottom with three points.

Portugal and Belgium both have one win, one loss and one draw, tied with four points.

France won two games and lost one, ranking first with six points and successfully qualifying.

So far, the four teams in the semi-finals have been announced.

They are the Armada Spain, the host Germany, the France black team and... the blue melancholy Italy led by Dongfang Lu!

Italy miraculously survived!

Even with a 3-0 score in the first game, they were promoted to the death group, which was jaw-dropping.

Because teams in the same group cannot stay in the same group, Italy's semi-final opponent will only be Germany or France.

Germany has higher points than France, so it has a group advantage. They and the "weaker" Italy will fight each other in the semi-finals.

And Spain will fight France.

For a time, Germany media and Italy media were both in high spirits.

Italy The media is excited because Italy Youth National Team advanced to the semi-finals as the second best group. This is definitely an unexpected surprise for Italy.

Defeating England has made the entire Italy football community recognize that Maniero has completed the task.

Even if there is no competition in the future, no one will think that European Under-21 Championship is a failure this time.

Because they defeated the top seed!

Although Italy is out, he has proven himself.

This is a good change, and this is enough.

But I never expected that Italy would advance successfully in the end!

This is just like Denmark and Wales who qualified in the group stage of European Championship, and just like Russia and Croatia who qualified in the group stage of World Cup. Every step in the future will be a surprise and reward!

Therefore, the Italian media began to hype Maniero and the players participating in this European Under-21 Championship.

Among them, Lu Yang, who returned from "injury", is the top priority.

<Two games, four shots and three passes! He only needs two games to lead Italy out of the group stage!>

<Second in the scorer list and first in the assists list! Lu Yang is incredibly efficient and is expected to compete for the European Under-21 Championship Golden Boot!>

<Man's promise! Cortino: Lu Yang told me that he would not let Italy go out in such a bad way!>

<The moment of tears! Lu Yang motioned the fans to applaud Cortino. His leadership became the key to Italy's comeback!>

<The more difficult it is, the stronger it is! Italy The toughest man is not talking about Lu's fists, but his determination to pursue victory!>

<How can you not love such a land! Italy The revival of football cannot be separated from this oriental boy!>

Similarly, like Italy media, Germany media also celebrated nationwide.

Because compared to the Spain, which is known as the Invincible Fleet, the stumbling Italy is obviously an easier opponent to deal with.

In fact, even Spain and Germany Youth National Team are not afraid at all.

They are the only ones in this cup to have a perfect record so far.

The only one!

This has undoubtedly proven their dominance.

Although no player in Germany Youth National Team has scored more than two goals, there are as many as eight players on their team who have scored!

What is this concept?

This means they have the absolute ability to bloom multiple times.

According to authoritative media predictions and voting, Germany Youth National Team's current winning probability is second only to Spain, and the gap between the two is not big.

Of course, compared to the enthusiastic celebrations of the qualified teams, England Youth National Team fell into an extremely embarrassing situation this time.

They were clearly the top seed, but they failed in the group stage.

Previously England media said that Lu Yang would appear on Brit Awards on his birthday.

Now Lu Yang has broken the promise.

Because Italy National Team still has a competition, it is impossible for Lu Yang to come out at this time.

But the response that Lu Yang asked Sophia to post before came true.

England Youth National Team is back home. In theory, they have enough time to participate in various entertainment activities or business invitations.

Moreover, England was personally kicked home by Lu Yang.

The media in any country would probably not continue to develop this matter at this time.

At the very least, they will not invite the members of the National Youth Team who have just encountered Waterloo to attend the All England Concert.

This is a whipping corpse.

But England Media did this.

They actually invited the players from the National Youth Team to attend the All England Concert.

This is simply entertaining to death.

Perhaps in the news effect, they succeeded.

Even though the All England Concert is one of Europe's most authoritative music festivals, this All England Concert still gained higher popularity and more traffic because of it.

What's even more frightening is that most of the players in England Youth National Team accepted the invitation and actually appeared at this concert.

Mancini, Rahim, these players who think they are performing pretty well are all gone.

But Chalobah, a player who did not perform well in this year's European Under-21 Championship, also went.

They smile so brightly in front of the camera, they look so happy, they are so devoted when they sing with top singers, you can't feel the pain of being eliminated in them.

This actually reflects the problem very well.

Football is round and no one can win all the time, so it is a good thing for players to learn how to deal with the pain after losing.

But if you blindly focus on specific ways to resolve the pain, and ultimately forget that winning is the root of all this, then the player's state and mentality will be in danger.

Right China National Football Team!

The worst thing about current England football is that there are many players in this dangerous state, whether it is the national youth team or the real adult national team!

When failure no longer makes you feel pain, why would you persist in pursuing victory?

It doesn't make sense.

An all-British concert is a grand ceremony for all Europe musicians and the glory of England music, but it has also become a scar for England football.

At least football practitioners in other countries cannot tolerate such things happening in their own countries.

"Ding! You lead the team to qualify in the European Under-21 Championship group stage and get two basic points and a random gift pack."

"Ding! You used a random gift pack and obtained player-level skills, Marseille Turn!"

Dribbling 82-83

Ball control 82-83

Radian 74-76-78

Marseille Turn has improved Lu Yang's control. The emergence of this skill may be related to the frequent use of Marseille Turn by players in the last game.

In the future, Lu Yang can also show off this skill, and there is no need to hold a semi-finished Bengbu Spin to pretend to be a technical player.

Ahem!

The emperor sneezed and expressed his anger!

You used to call me Xiao Tiantian, but now that you have Marseille Turn, you call me Mrs. Niu?

What a damn dog!

And Lu Yang then put the basic point into the radian.

Due to the star barrier, some of Lu Yang's statistics are likely to hit the ceiling next season. But at the same time, this also gives him an opportunity to quickly check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

Those returned basic points can be used to make up for Lu Yang's current data deficiencies, allowing him to become a hexagonal player even in high-level competitions.

Then it will be really awesome.

If nothing else, Lu Yang will make up for his shortcomings in the order of offense, body, and defense.

The reason why he was the last to supplement the defense is because although his position in the team is still the core defensive player, what is needed is not his strong defensive ability, but his strong running ability and willingness.

Otherwise, Rahim, whose defensive ability is far weaker than Lu Yang, will not play the same role as Lu Yang in their team.

"Lu, would this be better?" Sophia's voice interrupted Lu Yang's thinking.

Although he was resting in a hotel reserved by the team, it was not surprising that Sophia was able to enter this hotel.

Lu Yang After all, he had just recovered from a serious illness, Sophia was somewhat worried about the recurrence of his old injury.

So I brought some physical therapy equipment to Lu Yang's room to wait for him.

Including but not limited to massage devices, massage bangs, vibration belts, massage oils, etc.

Ahem!

Don't tell me, this set of equipment can do other things if you have some ideas.

So, Lu Yang could only lie on the sofa and let Sophia do what he wanted.

Sophia is tying a large piece of vibrating belt to Lu Yang's right thigh.

In order to facilitate the operation, she squatted between Lu Yang's legs because she would have to tie one on her left thigh later.

When she looked up at Lu Yang, Lu Yang admitted that she thought of some other pictures.

It is difficult for a man to resist a woman's advances.

Just like it is difficult for a woman to resist a man's cock.

This is why many female waitresses in high-end luxury stores will always squat enthusiastically and unabashedly to help male customers adjust their trousers or shoelaces, not just to let the male customers see the looming ravine on their chests.

It is a psychological fatal blow to men!

At that moment, men often have a special feeling, which is essentially the same as heartbeat, electric shock, etc.

Therefore, many men will misunderstand this feeling and develop a liking for the woman.

As for buying things, that's a matter of course.

Raising your head to kill is already a killing move.

What's more, the position of Sophia is so sensitive.

Her mouth is almost at the same level as Lu Yang's belly, which makes people think of something.

"Okay, okay." Lu Yang said repeatedly. He hoped that Sophia would leave quickly, otherwise he felt that he might fail to press the gun.

"Are you sure? Is this too tight? I mean, this..." Sophia said while burying his head in adjusting the tightness of the strap.

What a coincidence, the door was pushed open at this time.

Moric took the mobile phone and said, "Lu, coach Maniero asked us to go over for a meeting about..."

The next moment, everything in front of him made Moric confused.

From his angle, he could just see the back of Sophia, which was half blocked by the coffee table.

This is...

"Ah?" Sophia turned his head.

This scene...

"Where's Lu? Lu?" Moric turned around calmly, as if he hadn't seen anything. It wasn't until he closed the door that he came back to his senses.

His hands were trembling, and he was almost out of breath.

He just saw...Sophia...

Moric's world has collapsed.

This...

in the room.

Lu Yang was a little embarrassed. "He seems to have misunderstood something."

Sophia looked at Lu Yang, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. "What's the misunderstanding?"

"Uh... he thought you..." Lu Yang couldn't speak. He suspected that Sophia was fishing for law enforcement.

"How about... we don't let him misunderstand?" Sophia put a hand on Lu Yang's thigh and slowly crawled towards Lu Yang, preparing for something to really happen.

At this moment, Sophia's hand brought a numb and trembling sensation to Lu Yang's thigh, which was far stronger than that of the so-called sports rehabilitation equipment.

Beep beep beep!

At the critical moment, Lu Yang's cell phone rang, it was Maniero calling.

Sophia glared at the phone angrily and cursed in his heart, "You idiot Moric."

If Moric hadn't just come in and said that Maniero wanted to have a meeting with everyone, now Sophia would have been able to suppress the call and then take advantage of the situation to have something happen with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang is an adult.

The first experience in a hotel is not perfect, but isn't that what most boys and girls do?

It's a pity...

Knowing that Maniero was meeting with everyone to prepare for war, it was impossible for Sophia to make such an irrational move as to prevent Lu Yang from going.

She is not a little girl who doesn't know her priorities.

She knew that when Italy reached the semi-finals of European Under-21 Championship, the competition was the first priority in Lu Yang's eyes.

Not to mention whether Lu Yang will agree to his "rude" request, but at the very least it will make his impression in Lu Yang's mind worse.

A smart "girlfriend" should never try to make a "boyfriend" choose between you and other important things.

Even if he chooses you, you are not far away from losing him.

"Go ahead, they must be impatient to wait for you." Sophia's face turned red, and for some reason, there was a mist of aggrieved water in his eyes.

While talking, Sophia climbed down from Lu Yang and started to pack things.

She knew that there would be no chance of close contact with Lu Yang today. After all, there would be games in the next day or two, and abstinence was one of the keys to the performance of the players in the competition.

The reason why I came here was really just to help Lu Yang recover, but then the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

After Sophia packed her things, Lu Yang suddenly hugged her.

"No matter what, I want to thank you, Sophia." After Lu Yang finished speaking, he kissed Sophia's forehead.

Sophia trembled all over and almost screamed out.

"Thank you for bringing these rehabilitation equipment. I just tried it and I feel that my thighs have relaxed a lot." Lu Yang thanked me sincerely and walked out of the house.

?

Watt?

Sophia reacted for a long time, then threw a teacup at Lu Yang.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang just closed the door.

The teacup hit the door and shattered into pieces.

But in the end, I endured it because love means restraint rather than excess. In the end, you told me that what you were grateful for were these useless rehabilitation equipments?

I'll fuck you uncle!

Damn straight man!

Diao Zhu Gu!

Ten minutes later, when Lu Yang came to the conference room, he found that Moric looked at him with eyes full of envy and contempt.

This is strange.

"Just a few minutes?" Moric shrugged.

"A few minutes is enough. If it takes more than ten minutes, your body won't be able to bear it." Lu Yang felt that Moric's contempt came out of nowhere.

This high-intensity leg massager may cause muscle damage if used for more than ten minutes.

A few minutes, a small amount and many times is the most reasonable way to use it.

"I can take half an hour!" Moric patted his chest.

Lu Yang frowned, thinking that Moric had bought a pirated and inferior product, and asked, "Then who gave that to you? Mine was given to me by Sophia."

Moric suddenly lost his voice.

Sophia is amazing!

Yes, I admit that the quality of the "coming-of-age gift" I spent 300 euros on is not high, and it cannot be compared with Sophia. But among all Europe, who is more beautiful than Sophia?

Who else is so lucky as you that Sophia can take notice?

Shownima!

"Okay, I shouldn't question this." Lu Yang felt that he had made a mistake. Whether it was a massager that Moric bought himself or someone else gave it to him, he should not question whether the massager was pirated. This would make Moric lose face. "That's not what I meant. There must be nothing wrong with the thing."

"But are you sure you got the time right? I think based on your body, about three minutes is more appropriate. Even if you don't get used to it, it's possible that you won't be able to bear it for one minute, right?"

The next moment, Moric turned pale.

Grass!

How did Lu Gou know?

Could it be that the woman was dishonest and revealed her privacy?

For a moment, Moric's whole body was trembling, and he no longer had any energy.

He's finished!

What happened to him in one minute has probably spread throughout the football circle!

Damn peripheral girl!

It's simply unrealistic to expect them to keep their mouths shut!

The one thousand euro sealing fee is basically free!

It's all Nagy's fault. He said that the other party is very reliable and so on. He is so reliable!

Moric made up his mind.

After European Under-21 Championship kicks him out this time, he must go to San Remo to find that woman and get back the one thousand euro sealing fee!

Of course, the three hundred euros Moric will not get back, that is what should be given.

Business is business, and an agreement is an agreement.

If you break the contract, you don't have to pay compensation, but at least you have to get a refund. This is normal.

He Moric doesn't want to blackmail anyone for a penny, but others shouldn't want to blackmail him for a penny either.

This is called professional ethics and principle!

"What three minutes and a half hour?" Maniero walked in at this time. He patted Moric on the shoulder and said, "Moric, I need you to work efficiently for the team for ninety minutes. You can't let it slip."

Moric looks like MMP.

You know hammer!

"Okay, is everyone here?" Maniero motioned for everyone to find their own seats, then turned on the computer and projector to start today's meeting.

Generally speaking, the team's players also need to take some technical video lessons and tactical lessons to improve their tacit understanding of the head coach's tactics.

This part is actually difficult for some players with low education.

They can implement the tactics specified by the head coach, but they may not necessarily understand the significance and changes of their position.

From this point of view, we have to admit that players who have read some books have an advantage.

Learning may not have a substantial impact on their future life and work, but it has tempered their ability to accept new knowledge. People with problems in this area will not be able to reach the later stages of traditional teaching.

Of course, there are many smart people or even smarter people among people who have not received higher education.

So this is not a generalization, just talking about statistics and probability.

"Germany's youth training is the most successful country in recent years." Maniero said, "And because of the special nature of the Bundesliga league, they are one of the few teams that can seamlessly connect youth training, club, and national team."

"Germany youth training players emphasize discipline and tactics, which is similar to the Italy youth training in the past period. But the difference is that the Germany league teams are willing to give their youth training room for development."

"The Italy league, mainly Serie A, has been the world's number one league for a long time in the past. There are the best stars and the best teams here. The competition here is fierce, so it is difficult for young people to gain a foothold."

"If things continue like this, the Italy youth training has lost the opportunity to compete in Serie A, and can only go to low-level leagues or other leagues to work hard, which affects their growth."

"In addition, the Germany adult national team vigorously selects players from this league club or simply recruits a large number of Bayern Munich players, which makes their players more compatible in terms of tacit understanding."

"They only need to follow the traditional 4231 formation of Bayern Munich, and it will be able to seamlessly connect, allowing the players of the national team to perform at a high level of combat effectiveness just like they are in the club, without the need for running-in."

This is something that the national teams of other countries cannot do.

Even for Spain and England, in an era when stars emerge one after another, although the players in each position are excellent and most of them play in La Liga or Premier League, we have to admit that the teams in these two leagues have different styles.

The players you call from clubs with different styles are obviously not that easy to get along with.

And Germany is almost a player summoned from the same club, so he asked other countries how to play!

If the influence of superstars in the adult team can appropriately weaken Germany National Team's dominance, then in the youth team, Germany National Team's advantage will be even more obvious.

Because the star players who are also young players are obviously not up to the level of superstars, and it is difficult for them to change the outcome of the game on their own.

Therefore, although there is no superstar in this Germany National Team, it is actually very difficult to deal with.

Theoretically, this Germany National Team is exactly what Italy Youth National Team has been ideally like in the past few years.

If Italy Youth National Team meets all the conditions, then the team developed will be similar to this Germany National Team.

However, just one player, most of whom are playing at Bundesliga, has already killed Italy Youth National Team instantly.

There are not many people here who can play football in Serie A.

"4231 is a very strong offensive and defensive formation. The presence of five players in the midfield allows them to control the ball with ease." Maniero clicked on the specific picture of Germany Youth National Team. "Their tacit understanding can keep their turnover rate to the lowest! There is no doubt that in the next game, they will be significantly ahead of us in terms of ball possession rate."

"But this lineup also has its own problems. This lineup has high requirements for the two full-backs, who must be both offensive and defensive. Germany National Team's two full-backs can only be considered balanced offensively and defensively at best."

"Ceballos, Pompeti, you two wingers have a very important task in the next game, which is to keep an eye on their full-backs in the opponent's half and don't let them advance easily."

"Lu Yang, what you and Versace have to do is to suppress their full-backs from attacking as soon as possible. Don't let them participate in the running of the offensive third zone."

"If this happens, you and our two full-backs must have a clear division of labor. Who will guard the bottom and who will guard the inside!"

"Speaking of cutting inside, this is the second shortcoming in their offense. Their two full-backs are also pretty good, and their crosses and cuts seem to be good, but in my opinion, their full-backs lack the most important thing... impact!"

"Without impact, cutting inside and going deep are not enough to create a real threat. As long as our defense is well prepared, it will be difficult for their wingers to perform well."

"Lu Yang! It's still you. If their full midfielders frequently try to cut inside, you have to temporarily return to the midfielder position and complete steals again and again. They are giving you the ball, you know!"

Lu Yang nodded.

Thank you, Mr. Maniero, why don't you get this kind of ball yourself?

It sounds like it's really easy.

But the facts are indeed similar. Germany National Team's two wingers are at best an enhanced version of Fernandez, far inferior to Ceballos and Pompeti, who are top-level in-cutting or bottom-up players.

"Germany Youth National Team is not a super genius, but that is only compared to supernovas like Mancini and Enriquez. In fact, the number eight Angelo Melkan in their team can also be considered a super genius. Germany is a top talented star." Maniero began to focus on the core players of Germany National Team, "He plays the role of midfielder and has outstanding abilities in all aspects. Like Lu, he is a true hexagonal warrior."

"He is from the youth training of Bayern Munich. He has played more than 30 games for Bayern Munich last season and is the main rotation member of Bayern Munich. He is 21 years old, 1.88 meters tall and has a strong build."

"His current net worth is as high as 25 million. Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the media that compiles his net worth is Germany media. His threatening long passes and long shots outside the penalty area are his specialties in helping the team."

"So... our center backs, you must watch their center and attacking midfielder and don't give them any chance to make a single move. Their center and attacking midfielder are not strong, which is also the third key point in their formation!"

Theoretically, the soul of 4231 lies in the midfielder.

The center's ability to pick up the ball with his back and distribute the ball in the frontcourt is also the key to the offense.

But the two players of Germany Youth National Team are not outstanding in this aspect.

Not weak, but not strong either.

At least, in terms of the fulcrum alone, the other party cannot do better than Soguer.

And their front midfielder is definitely not as comprehensive as Lu Yang, not as agile as Ceballos, and not as smart as Moric.

Their engine is not the attacking midfielder, but the midfielder Melkan!

Lu Yang and others began to digest today's explanation of Maniero, and had some tactical ideas on how to play Germany.

In the afternoon, everyone went to the training ground and did some targeted training.

Tang Yuqin led the recording team to record everything silently.

The cameraman next to me was very excited.

It's so nice to be able to stay at Germany for a few more days.

The documentary team next door <World Football News> has parted ways with England Youth National Team.

England Youth National Team returns to England, and the documentary team over there returns to China.

With just the content of the three games, I don't know what they can edit it into.

It's impossible to train twice before the game and one during the game, right?

That's a bit too inferior.

In contrast, my own <Super Football> bet on Italy Youth National Team, which is simply a textbook-level competition to buy backwards, and the villa is close to the sea.

"This match with Germany National Team means a lot to Italy." Tang Yuqin murmured to himself.

She was right.

This battle attracted even more domestic attention for Italy than Italy vs. England.

Because Italy VS England is almost certain to be eliminated, and many people choose not to watch this kind of game where they are bound to lose.

And this battle between Italy and Germany.

In fact, it is equivalent to Italy fighting himself.

That is, Italy of Maniero vs Italy of Calafi!

The former is Italy that allows shortcomings and advantages to be equally highlighted and aims to find and cultivate talented players.

The latter is Italy, which aims to build a team with perfect understanding and no shortcomings.

The competition between swordsman and airbender will reveal the answer in this game.

Soon, the competition between Spain and France took the lead.

France The black team was extremely fast. Spain failed to withstand it at the beginning, allowing France to steal a one-to-zero victory.

But Spain has a strong ability to adjust, and their passing and control stabilized the situation.

In the process of chasing football, France National Team seems to have forgotten that supernovas like Enriquez need to be given special attention.

So, Enriquez punished them.

In the last five minutes of the first half, Enriquez once again started his show time. He passed three France National Team defenders in a row and scored a wonderful shot from a small angle in the penalty area.

In the second half, Enriquez continued to show momentum and scored two goals in the 59th and 72nd minutes respectively, completing a hat trick.

He also jumped to the number of goals he scored in this European Under-21 Championship to seven goals, ranking first in the scorer list!

At the last moment, France National Team launched another counterattack, chasing the score to 3-2, but it didn't help.

France The European Under-21 Championship journey of the black team has come to an end.

Spain became the first team to reach the finals.

The second one will be generated between Germany and Italy.

"Hello everyone, this is Italy National Television. What you are watching now is the European Under-21 Championship semi-final game Italy VS Germany. Sitting next to me is Juventus's leading shooter and superstar Prince of Zebras--Ancarelli!"

The commentator solemnly introduced Ancarelli beside him.

Juventus stayed strong at the last moment last year and withstood the pressure to regain the top spot in the league. This allowed them to complete the great achievement of Serie A winning three consecutive championships.

Therefore, they will also play Italian Cup champion San Remo, and there is a game Italian Super Cup to play before the start of this year's season.

But it is said that Ancarelli will not participate because his injury has not healed yet.

In fact, Ancarelli attended this invitation with a cane today.

"Ancarelli, we are surprised to be able to invite you. We just had a try at the beginning. After all, your injury..." The host spoke very carefully.

Ancarelli smiled and said, "Yes, if my doctor hadn't advised me to exercise properly, I really wouldn't have gone out. My condition has recovered well, and I may only miss one or two games in the new season before I can play for the team."

"I have high expectations for the new season."

"Of course, the reason why I accepted your invitation has a lot to do with my attention to this Italy Youth National Team."

Juventus is making some new attempts based on existing old stars. They want to compete for these stars at the end of their careers Champions League.

It is rumored that Juventus had asked about the price of Ceballos before.

"So which player among them is your favorite?" the host asked a tricky question.

"Of course it's Lu!" Ancarelli didn't even hesitate, and then he quickly added, "Of course, Ceballos and Canyes are also good, but you asked about the favorite... There is no Italy fan who doesn't like Lu, right?"

"Personally, I think the diamond generation of Italy football has emerged. This group of young people is very good. I can see the shadow of our playing days in them. This is something that the previous groups of young people did not have..."

The host did not continue to embarrass Ancarelli, because Ancarelli's answer did reveal the hidden information that Juventus was interested in Ceballos.

The game started soon.

From the beginning, Germany Youth National Team showed maturity and discipline that young players should not have.

Their playing style can be said to be rigid, but extremely skilled.

This keeps football under their control almost all the time.

The higher the ball possession rate, the more opportunities will naturally arise.

About twenty minutes into the first half, Germany National Team played a perfect teamwork.

Seventeen passes, zero mistakes!

Finally, the left midfielder passed the ball back to Melkan in the midfield. Melkan dribbled horizontally for two steps and then suddenly kicked the pass to the left rib and inserted it into the frontcourt.

Germany National Team's left midfielder, center forward, and attacking midfielder move in succession, real and fake.

In the end, both the center forward and the left midfielder play a pulling role.

Lam's position moved his own goalkeeper Areola as he stepped in from behind to attack the goal. As a result, the latter made a mistake in judgment and was not fully prepared.

The football goes into the net.

Germany leads one to zero!

But Italy's military spirit has not been lost.

To put it bluntly, they have never been in the lead since the qualifying round.

It's as if they don't know how to kick the ball without losing it first.

In the next twenty-five minutes, Italy National Team performed very steadily.

After becoming familiar with the characteristics of the opponent's players, they can better implement Maniero's defensive arrangement.

Moric will focus on harassing Melkan.

Not only one of the three sneak attacks was successful, it also gave Melkan a sense of crisis, and he no longer dared to dribble horizontally to look for opportunities.

In fact, any player who likes to dribble laterally will have a good passing imagination and a lot of assists.

Because horizontal dribbling itself is a good way to find opportunities.

Paul Pogba of Manchester United, Modric of Real Madrid, Iniesta of Barcelona, Messi, let alone dribbling core, almost every midfield master also likes to dribble horizontally to look for opportunities.

But in the midfield, not everyone is qualified to dribble laterally.

You must have such ability.

For example, for a team like Juventus with a weak midfield, it is really difficult to find a midfielder who can dribble laterally.

You said Bernardeschi?

Yes, he likes all kinds of dribbling, including lateral dribbling, but lateral dribbling without the purpose of passing the threatening ball is the basic sign of a lone wolf player.

Closer to home, after losing Melkan's lateral dribbling pass, Germany National Team's offense dropped by at least one level.

During the halftime break, Maniero made some targeted adjustments based on the performance of Germany Youth National Team in the first half.

Less than five minutes into the second half, Italy Youth National Team scored.

Right winger Pompeti participated in the defense all the way to prevent the opponent's left back from inserting.

The opponent's left back passed the ball to the left midfielder, but was intercepted by Canyes, who was also standing very high.

Canyes passed the ball over the top and directly moved the football to Moric's side.

Immediately after Moric caught the ball, he drove his big foot from the left back to the right, directly hitting the gap left by Germany's left back.

Because Italy gave the impression that he was going to attack from the right, Germany's left back did not return to his position immediately, but relied on the middle to recover.

He thought well, because when the opponent shifts the offensive line, the player on the weak side will move closer to the other side.

However, no one expected that the second transfer of Moric would come so quickly.

Pompeti is not in the location, far away from the football.

However, Italy's right front midfielder Lu Yang ran directly to the position where Pompeti should have been and received the football.

Germany rushed forward from the left back midfielder, trying to put pressure on Lu Yang.

As a result, Lu Yang moved his left foot, and at the same time, he also attacked the opponent.

Cut inside with the ball!

Robben Zone!

In frontal defense, once the opponent passes over and fails to intercept the football, there is basically no possibility of guarding others.

When Lu Yang meets on a narrow road, the brave wins. As Lu Yang cuts inside, a Fried Meatballs increases the distance of its lateral movement and passes Germany's left midfielder.

Germany The central defender rushed forward immediately.

Lu Yang Lift your left foot high directly.

The central defender raised his foot, intending to block the ball.

However, Lu Yang's fake shot really hit, and he again moved the ball and cut inside to the left.

Easily passed the central defender.

Germany National Team The goalkeeper and the deep-lying center back trembled.

The trailing center back rushed towards Lu Yang, but it was too late.

Lu Yang caught up with the football and volleyed directly with his left foot, hitting the lower right corner of the goal.

The ball didn't adjust at all and hit in the opposite direction.

Neither the goalkeeper nor the central defender had time to block it.

The football went straight into the net!

Italy equalized the score one to one!

"Lu, I think your dribbling and passing are already quite good. There are many opportunities to hold the ball on the wing in this game. You can try playing as an inside forward. If Pompeti helps you cover, you will most likely face one less person."

"Moric, so are you. When the time is right, you can switch positions with Ceballos on the left to attack."

This is Maniero's modification of Italy Youth National Team's offense.

And soon, both attacking midfielders made contributions.

Seventy-one minutes.

Lu Yang repeated his old trick, and with the help of Pompeti, he successfully cut inside again.

But this time there were more people in the opponent's penalty area.

Melkan all sat back.

Seeing that there was no shooting path, Lu Yang passed the football to Moric, who had just switched positions with Ceballos and then switched back.

Moric ran to the position, didn't look at the penalty area at all, just started with his right foot, and kept the ball on the ground with one kick.

The football miraculously rolled into the penalty area without being touched by the Germany defensive player.

Soguer is on the football path!

But Soguer has a center back in front and Melkan on the side. When he receives the ball with his back, it is difficult to turn around and create a shot.

At the same time, Soguer and Moric looked at each other, and he understood Moric's eyes.

Soguer spread his legs and missed the football.

The central defenders Melkan and Germany who wanted to defend Soguer were stunned.

The football rolls forward to the left in the penalty area.

There, Ceballos, who had just finished switching positions with Moric, was supposed to stand on the wing and create a threat, but instead took two steps outward and then went around the baseline and cut inside.

He came silently behind the Germany National Team defense line, like a shadow assassin!

Bang!

Same location!

Same unmarked!

In this European Under-21 Championship, Ceballos has already scored two goals in this position before!

And now, this is the third one!

The familiar position allowed Ceballos to shoot steadily.

Italy took the lead two to one.

Germany Youth National Team instantly became anxious.

Their core player Melkan finally couldn't restrain his desire to attack and actively violated the strategy formulated by the coach.

Melkan began to pursue more direct through ball assists, which was somewhat different from the head coach's arrangement.

And because the players at the center and attacking midfielder positions and Melkan did not make calls, their movements were not weird enough, and their imagination was not rich enough, so several threatening goals passed by Melkan were resolved by the Italy central defender.

Versace still has many shortcomings in the midfielder position. His positional sense and defensive ability are much lower than Cortino.

However, the rigidity of Germany National Team's tactics is especially obvious when falling behind, so no one in Germany National Team except Melkan will catch the flaws exposed by Versace.

In the 80th minute, Melkan broke into Longtan alone and dribbled past Moric and Versace. When everyone thought he was going to try a through ball and pass, he hit the goal.

Volley from the outside of the instep!

Football route is weird!

Even if Areola determines the direction of this world wave fairy ball, it is impossible to save it.

Two to two!

Germany National Team equalizes the score!

Melkan celebrates warmly and has the glory of a superstar!

This is exactly what Germany Youth National Team, including the adult national team, lacks!

But similarly, Italy's double front midfielders also showed real fire at this time.

In the 85th minute, although Moric was slightly weak in defense, it was able to play and lead at critical moments.

He returned Melkan with a dribble and a volley from the outside of the penalty area.

Don't tell me, the outer instep of Moric is actually quite reliable.

But the Germany National Team goalkeeper was also fooled and actually saved the shot.

Germany's central defender made a clearance, but the football missed the distance and fell to the feet of Lu Yang, who was also skimming around the outside of the penalty area.

Just as Lu Yang was about to shoot, he was knocked down by Melkan next to him.

Melkan got a yellow card in anger.

He did everything he could.

Moric Forget about long shots.

If Lu Yang were to take action, the threat from this position would be too great.

What's more, the penalty area was very messy just now, with many shooting paths.

The most powerful thing about Lu Yang's long-range shots is not his footwork or even his domineering strength, but that he can always find a shooting path that makes the defensive players unable to solve!

His vision is so terrifying!

Soon, Germany National Team built his own free kick wall. In order to prevent Low Drive, they also arranged for a player to lie behind the wall.

This distance is a bit too close. If we take a free kick, it will be difficult to shoot directly.

At least, there is no room for Lu Yang and Knuckleball to play. It is estimated that the football has already flown over the baseline before it even falls.

Therefore, this ball will be taken by Moric.

He winked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang knows that Moric, a guy who is not enterprising, wants to play coquettishly again.

Coincidentally, he wanted it too!

This may be the difference between big-hearted players such as Lu Yang and Moric, and England, a group of seemingly big-hearted players.

A truly big-hearted player, the more critical he is, the more ideas he has.

Players with fake big hearts are usually very crazy, but when it comes to critical moments, they dare not show off!

So Lu Yang went to the human wall.

Bang!

Moric kicks off, Low Drive!

Germany Although the players jumped high, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

However, the football was refracted when it hit the player Germany National Team who was lying on the ground. The ball was a backspin ball, which bounced on the opponent's thigh and flew half a height.

And it happens to bounce in the direction of Lu Yang.

Although not that upright.

But Lu Yang still made a calculated calculation without any intention, jumped up, and stabbed the football out before the goalkeeper could attack.

In a flash of lightning, the Germany goalkeeper showed no reaction.

The football crashed into the net.

Italy Three to two!

Taking the lead again!

In the next few minutes, Germany National Team gave up all his playing methods and tried to cross the goal.

But the recovered Italy didn't give them a chance, and even almost led to a counterattack.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, Germany Youth National Team failed in the semifinals.

They failed to reach the finals in European Under-21 Championship hosted by Germany.

This is a heavy blow to all Germany fans!

But the fans won't scold them, after all, European Under-21 Championship's semi-finals is a good result. What's more, the real highlight should be next year's European Championship!

Thus, the two teams that reached the European Under-21 Championship finals were announced.

What a coincidence, they are all from the team Group A.

Italy and Spain!

The group of death is therefore worthy of its name!
