Chapter 11-This is Iron Waist, Picking Up a Treasure
"Hey bro, why do you look like we're going to lose?”
Li Ao came to Januzai's side and said in English with a clear Dragon Country accent.
Januzai tried to connect many words before he could understand what Li Ao meant.
"Isn't it obvious? Do you know how powerful they are? Not only are they one to two years older than us, but they were also the FA Youth Cup champions last season!!”
Januzai said.
"This is nothing!"
Li Ao patted Januzai's shoulder.
"Just wait and see!"
"You want to score a goal for them?"
"No, it's you!"
Li Ao said.
"Me?"
Januzai pointed at himself.
"How do I enter? We will definitely focus on defense in this game. It will be difficult to have any chances to attack.”
"Counterattack!" Li Ao said," Get ready later. I'll look for you after I intercept the ball!”
"Ah?"
Januzai didn't know where Li Ao's confidence came from.
However, Li Ao's confident look successfully scared him.
"Brother, where are you from?"
Januzai whispered.
"I'm the main defensive midfielder of the Dragon Country's Olympic team!”
Li Ao said.
He added in his heart,'Almost.'
Januzai was instantly filled with respect.
Although the Dragon Country's football was not good.
However, Li Ao was able to become the main force of the Dragon Country's National Olympics at the age of 17.
He definitely had some skills.
Moreover, he was the defensive midfielder.
As the vanguard.
He liked to get along with defensive players the most.
They didn't want to steal the limelight.
Januzai suddenly thought.
Perhaps he could really score in this game.
With a defensive midfielder like Tie Zha around.
It was not surprising that he had a few chances to intercept the ball and counterattack!
It seemed that he had to perform well in this match.
They had a common goal.
Januzai suddenly felt that Li Ao was much more pleasing to the eye.
Li Ao was also a forthright person.
Soon, he became one with his teammates.
Spencer wrote a sentence on Li Ao's evaluation report: Extroverted and good at communication.
...
This was because it was an internal match.
Therefore, there were not many spectators.
Several managers were acting as referees.
U19 manager Warren. Joyce was the one blowing.
The other coaches were just assistants.
McGuinness and his assistant didn't go to be referees. Instead, they stood on the sidelines and observed.
After all, one of the purposes of this match was to test Li Ao.
What physical test? What basic skills test?
These were important.
But in the end, it was not as important as his performance on the field.
Because of his body and technique. They were all for the competition.
Some of them had good physical fitness and good techniques.
However, he couldn't perform well on the field.
What was the use?
Under McGinnes's gaze.
The match soon began.
The scene of the game was also very normal. The U19 led the offense and quickly suppressed half of the field.
Pogba and Lingard cooperated well in the midfield.
Pogba stopped the ball at his feet after receiving the pass and faced the defender.
His entire body was covered in feints.
Talent overflowing.
The Manchester United youth coaches watching from the sidelines were delighted.
They all felt that this person would definitely make a difference and would be one of the core members of Manchester United's midfield in the future.
Li Ao stood on the football field.
He was highly focused.
He could feel the improvement brought by his max level prediction.
For example, after Pogba took the ball.
He quickly predicted that his opponent wanted to break through.
He quickly moved his position and stood in a position that would be very awkward for Pogba to break through.
If Pogba chose to break through, he would crash into Li Ao's defense zone.
Li Ao's choice of position made McGinnes and Spencer's eyes light up.
"Not bad!"
McGinnes praised.
Pogba also noticed Li Ao's movements.
However, he did not think too much about it.
He saw that there was no space for him to break through.
Then he could only pass the ball.
He had already noticed Lingard's position.
....
"He's going to pass the ball! is... In the direction of Lingard!"
Li Ao felt great.
He had a feeling that he could see through everything.
Every time Pogba dealt with it, he had accurately predicted it!!
This kind of feeling made Li Ao feel like he was in a fish in water when he defended in the midfield. It was as if he had obtained a god's perspective!!
The moment Pogba passed the ball.
Li Ao suddenly exerted his strength and pounced out with lightning speed.
As soon as the football left Pogba's side, Li Ao was already stuck in this passing line.
"Beautifully done!"
On the sidelines.
McGinnes almost wanted to take off his hat to pay tribute to Li Ao.
Perhaps the others on the field thought it was a passing error by Pogba.
but...
McGinnes had been observing Li Ao.
Every time he chose a position and moved, it was obvious that he had a purpose!!
The first move forced Pogba to give up on his personal breakthrough.
The second move even directly intercepted Pogba's pass!!
These two defenses.
It was enough for McGinnes to give Li Ao a high score.
"He is indeed a natural defender!" he said excitedly.”
"That's great!"
Spencer was also praising.
At the same time, he was rejoicing.
Fortunately.
He did not let him go.
Otherwise, he would become a sinner of the academy.
A player like Makelele.
It was of great value to any team.
In fact, Manchester United's First Team had been short of defensive midfielders for a long time.
In Roy. After Keane retired.
Manchester United has never been strong enough
"If he can maintain a stable performance, he might get a chance to be in the First Team earlier than Pogba.”
McGinnes was now relaxed.
He continued to stare at Li Ao.
He felt that he had picked up a treasure.
