Chapter 05: Chapter 5 Knockout Round

After catching up from 5 to 4, there was only one goal left.

The players of Dulessins were completely flustered. They were too loose in the front, and now they couldn't tighten up.

They kept attacking with all their might. There was no reason to retreat.

At this time, all the players of the Eagles were bloodshot.

There were still eight minutes left in the extra time, so they had to fight.

Fierce fouls and fierce physical confrontation.

It was hard to imagine such a mental state appearing in a wild chicken team.

The scouts in the audience were shocked by this scene. The passionate emotions ignited these outsiders. They picked up cameras and pens to record, and their faces flushed with excitement, even more excited than the Eagles players on the field.

The players of Dulessins, who had a broken mentality, lost the demeanor of a strong team. The central defender blindly kicked the ball to Wang Po's feet.

He dribbled the ball, rushed forward, passed the back midfielder, and wiped out the central defender who came up.

A series of fancy footwork techniques made everyone dumbfounded.

The defensive players were like wooden stakes for training, with no resistance.

Wang Po entered the penalty area.

"It's over."

The head coach of Dulessings was heartbroken, and he put his hands on his head in advance like a surrendered man.

The strange arc of the left foot's outside instep penetrated Dulessings' goal for the fifth time.

Five to five, tied.

Including the goalkeeper, the agent on the sidelines, and the parents of the students, they all rushed into the field, cheering and celebrating.

This scene, if you don't know, you might think they won the Champions League.

Facing the crazy teammates rushing over, Wang Po signaled them to calm down, there are still two minutes left.

Kick-off, the game continues.

The Eagles' formation premise brought great pressure to the Dulessings team, which was one man short.

The defensive player was forced to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, who kicked the ball back to the Eagles player with a big foot.

"Per"

Jim dribbled the ball at high speed on the sideline and passed it to Wang Per outside the penalty area near the baseline. The latter raised his foot, and was greeted by three frightened defenders sliding tackles.

Wang Per was not in a hurry. He lightly lifted the ball over the three people with his toes, took a big step, and faced the opponent's goalkeeper directly.

He bent his left foot and easily pushed the ball into the net.

It was still Wang Per, who completed the hat trick.

Six to five, overtaking, who could have thought before the start of the game that the pheasant team could kill the professional team.

Who could have thought that when they were behind 0 to 5 at halftime, they would stubbornly kill the opponent.

Football, beautiful football, damn football, before the final whistle, no one knew what the result would be.

This is the charm of football.

It does not distinguish between tall, short, fat and thin. As long as you love it, you can stand on this court.

There is no absolute win or lose. As long as you maintain the tenacity of never giving up, you will definitely see the dawn of victory.

The stadium erupted in warm cheers, resounding through the sky.

Wang Po, a well-deserved hero, made three assists and three goals, with gorgeous statistics.

The game ended.

Wang Po was lifted high by his teammates from the Eagles and thrown into the sky.

This is the treatment of a leader and meritorious in football.

"Po, I apologize to you for foolishly putting you on the bench before." The head coach came over and said sincerely.

"I accept your apology." Wang Po said.

The generals and the coaches smiled and put aside their grudges, pushing the atmosphere of the entire team to a peak.

Winning is not scary, but it is embarrassing to be missing someone.

Such results also attracted some sponsors, so there is no need to count on the pitiful sponsorship fee of England's No. 10. From that day on, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

The U series of games are divided into group matches, knockout matches and finals.

The Eagles established Wang Po's absolute core position, and head coach Blue also began to show his edge. He is no longer the old man who only recognizes money. Tactics and cooperation are still a set.

According to Blue's request, the remaining ten group matches will be used as training to practice and adjust the formation.

The ability shown by the Eagles players has made Blue no longer stick to the simple appearance of the group. He has higher aspirations, and his players also have higher aspirations.

Four wins, three draws and three losses are the answers for the remaining ten games.

Most of the opponents faced are also echelons of professional clubs. This result can be said to be beyond expectations.

At the end of the entire group stage, Wang Po dominated the list with 17 goals and 14 assists.

His brilliance overshadowed many core players who were focused on training by professional echelons.

Wang Po, this name, once again returned to the vision of agents, scouts, and the media.

There are even youth training football media that wrote a front page specifically for him, with the title, the return of the lost genius king.

Last year's cross-age competition, the genius player Wang Po was in a mess, and a year of training and polishing made this genius shine again.

Agents and scouts came to visit with contracts.

This made Bruce very anxious. After all, all his tactics were built around Wang Po. He was the leader, the core, and the backbone of the team. If he left, the Eagles' performance would plummet.

The players also heard a lot of rumors. On the one hand, they were envious, and on the other hand, their morale was unstable.

"Don't worry, I will definitely join you in this U16 league."

Wang Po assured his teammates.

Although there were many contracts and the treatment was good, Hamburg rejected them one by one. According to the fat man's theory, young people should constantly hone their technical skills and become superstars in the future. What kind of contract can't they get?

Before the big battle, Wang Po's words gave the Eagles players a shot of adrenaline.

The knockout stage implements the rule of single elimination, and the losing team will compete in the qualifying match.

The Eagles are the only non-professional team among the 16 knockout teams, and the first wild chicken team to break through the group in the history of the Portuguese U16 League.

Standing on the field of the knockout stage is already a historic moment.

The first opponent is the Rio Ave team of the Portuguese League. They qualified for the group with an unbeaten record, and their strength should not be underestimated.

This opponent, Blue and Hamburg spent a lot of time and energy studying.

The opponent's two wingers have strong attacking ability, the central midfielder No. 10 has strong dribbling ability, the two defensive midfielders, one is pure defense, and the other is B2B. The left back assists a lot, and the right back basically does not go beyond the midfield. With strong personal defensive skills, it is difficult for opponents of the same level to break through when standing still.

The two agreed that this is a team with balanced offense and defense, and a very difficult opponent.

Before the game, Blue formulated a defensive counterattack strategy for the players, and the formation was 5212.

The team's center forward stood in the arc of the center circle of the team and formed the first line of defense with the left winger Jim, and the central midfielder Wang Bo and the two defensive midfielders occupied the second line of defense.

When attacking, the formation unfolded to 352.

The left and right wingbacks occupied the position of the full-backs to help defend when defending, and provided firepower support forward when attacking. This required extremely high running up and down of the wingbacks. It can be foreseen that this is a tough war of attrition.
