North London, Tottenham Hotspur's training base.
The second round of the English FA Youth Cup had already begun.
In the first round before that, the Arsenal U18 youth team defeated the Portsmouth youth team 2:0.
At that time, Lin Xuan had not joined the team.
So this was his first FA Youth Cup match.
In the end, their opponent in the second round turned out to be Arsenal's arch-rival, Tottenham Hotspur!
The two teams had been enemies for many years, and they were definitely enemies.
The popularity of the North London Derby was no less than other famous derbies.
The hatred of the First Team easily affected the youth team.
This youth version of the Beilun Derby should be full of gunpowder.
Even if the two teams were not enemies, they were still facing an elimination in the FA Youth Cup.
This match could not be lost for either side.
Therefore, this match would be more intense than the other youth teams!
Unfortunately, Arsenal was drawn as an away team, and they would probably have a hard time playing at Tottenham Hotspur's training base.
In the warm-up phase before the game, Lin Xuan and Wozniski practiced shooting.
Lin Xuan kicked a roundhouse shot and easily scored, but Wozczesny's reaction was half a beat slower.
He couldn't help but look up at the audience.
He didn't expect that the training base's spectator stands would be full of seats for a youth team match!
And as far as the eye could see, it was all white, and they were all Tottenham fans and their families.
Good heavens, this was only a youth team match, and they were already playing so big?
It was rare for Shczesny to see such a scene, and his legs could not help but tremble slightly.
On the other hand, Lin Xuan had kicked a few balls, and his standard was as usual.
"Hey, Lin, are you nervous?"
" Didn't he say that he came from school?"
Anyone would tremble in fear after experiencing a competition of this level for the first time.
Lin Xuan ignored him and continued to score a few high-quality shots.
"Do I look nervous to you?" Then he looked at Shczesny expressionlessly.
Seeing this, the polish goalkeeper couldn't help but sigh at Lin Xuan's psychological quality.
"I reckon he wouldn't be afraid even if he faced the real Beilun Debi.”
……
After the warm-up, the players from both teams entered the locker room. The coach would make the final arrangements for the game.
In fact, in the youth league, the manager would rarely be so cautious.
Anyway, the goal of the youth team was not to achieve results, but to train and observe the players.
However, there was still a chance of winning a cup like the FA Youth Cup.
It wouldn't be too much to pay a little more attention to winning the championship, right?
Therefore, Coach Freddy laid out the tactical arrangements with a rare serious expression.
"Everyone has no problem with the basic tactics. You guys have already won five consecutive victories. However, he had to take this opponent seriously.”
"In this game, they should shrink their defense and reduce the space for passing. Then, they will use their fierce robbery to disrupt our attacking rhythm.”
"That's why we can't go straight into the gap when we have the ball like before. We need to slow down and pass the ball patiently.”
"Lin." " Lin Xuan?" Bradley mentioned Lin Xuan." Your mission will be very heavy.”
"The other side should send one person to specifically guard against you, and the other defensive players will always double up. You might end up in a one-versus-many situation.”
"So, if you have the chance, you can try to threaten the goal with long shots.”
Everyone wasn't surprised that Bradley gave Lin Xuan unlimited firepower.
The power of Lin Xuan's Tiger Style shot was obvious to all!
"Then, the rest of you have to run more and drag the defenders to open up space for Lin Xuan.”
As long as there was a gap, with Lin Xuan's ability, he would quickly tear it apart and create a threat!
……
On the other side, in the Tottenham youth team locker room.
The youth team manager, Chris Ramsey, had a serious expression on his face as he gave his players a lot of instructions.
The word he mentioned the most was "Lin".
"You all know their Asian midfielder, Lin, right? Do I need to say more about threats?"
"As long as he is frozen for this game, the rest of Arsenal will not be a concern!”
"Jack! I'll leave him to you. Even if he goes to the toilet, you have to follow him!”
The sixteen-year-old Jack Rivermore nodded heavily.
He was the main defensive midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur's youth team and one of the core members of the team.
Not only did he have outstanding defense, but he also had an outstanding sense of blocking and had a strong physical resistance.
At the same time, he also had the ability to throw the ball. His talent was outstanding!
He could have acted as the midfield hub, but the manager did not hesitate to sacrifice his strongest player in order to freeze Lin Xuan!
Fortunately, the midfielder, Ryan Mason, was good at organizing the attack and could launch a counterattack.
"Johnathan, Andros, when you counterattack, you two must quickly charge in!”
The two strikers, Jonathan Obica, and Andros townsend, were both good assaulters and could effectively threaten Arsenal from behind.
"In this match, let's silence that Asian and let him experience the passion of the Beilun Derby!”
……
The players of the two teams lined up on both sides of the field, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.
At this time, in addition to the Tottenham fans, the other spectators also entered the stadium to watch the game.
Two sneaky uncles entered the audience seats one after another and finally found an empty seat to watch the game.
The two of them were in different positions, but their eyes were aimed at the same person.
Lin Xuan, ready to kick off!
The Chelsea scout: " It's just nice. I can see your performance in this tough battle before deciding whether to take out the contract.”
Manchester United scout: " Come on, show your best form! I hope you are worthy of Lord Jue's favor.”
