"Coach Gerrard seems to be calling you."
Liam Miller gently nudged Chang Huan's arm with his left elbow.
Chang Huan turned her head and pointed her right index finger at her own handsome face, which was second only to her father's.
Be confirmed.
Excitedly, he took three steps at a time and ran towards the coach's bench.
Vinnie Gray, standing outside the GG sign, reached out and patted Chang Huan on the shoulder: "Do your best."
There were plenty of scouts from League One and League Two on the sidelines!
"Keep it up, Lezhi!"
"Chang's father said loudly from the side."
Chang Huan paused, turned to look at Vinnie Grella and her father, lightly punched her left chest with her clenched right fist, and blew on her bangs: "Watch my performance!"
Coaches' bench area.
Gerrard looked at Chang Huan solemnly and said, "Chang, when you come on, don't always stay on the left wing. Move towards the center to support the team and get closer to Jones. I allow you to decide for yourself in your area whether to control the ball, dribble, or do anything else that showcases your abilities..."
Chang Huan raised an eyebrow, surprised.
This... gives out a bit too much authority.
"Any questions?"
"No problem, Brother Jie."
Not long after.
Frimpong cleared the ball with a long kick, sending it out of bounds on the right side of the backfield.
The referee blew a long whistle and turned to point towards the technical area.
The assistant referee raised his hands to hold up the side flag.
Substitution.
24↑17↓
Chang Huan replaced Oklahoma Symonds.
"Go go go!!"
Liverpool fans who follow youth training are more or less familiar with Chang Huan, and they all send him encouragement, even though they know his skill level isn't that great.
The Manchester City U18 players were unfamiliar with Chang Huan, but he demonstrated strong tactical execution and maintained a high level of focus.
Adam Lewis took two steps back as he prepared to throw the ball out of bounds.
Frimpong and Phil Foden, on the right side of the midfield, quickly closed in on Chang Huan.
The ball is thrown out of bounds.
With his back to Flipong, Chang Huan lowered his right shoulder and raised the instep of his left foot, pretending to stop and dribble the ball towards the baseline.
It was actually a feint!
Land with your left foot, which has just crossed over the ball, and twist your waist to the left, while simultaneously using the inside of your right foot to flick the ball in the opposite direction.
Facing Foden's close defense, he reacted extremely quickly, taking a step with his left foot and then using the outside of his right foot to deflect the ball through the opponent's exposed legs as they tried to intercept it.
The ball went through the legs of the player!
Foden, feeling a chill in his crotch, turned around in disbelief.
Just then, Chang Huan caught up with the ball and flicked it to the right with the inside of his left foot, dodging Tom Bashiru's tackle. He quickly followed up with his right foot and passed the ball to the space in front of the penalty area in a taco-like motion.
This guy's got something!
"Oh my God!"
"Wow, when did Chang's technique become so flashy?"
"The movements were so smooth!"
"The all-powerful magician!"
Liverpool fans watching the game cheered as Chang Huan dribbled with incredible skill, skillfully passing the ball to Curtis Jones in an open position.
"That's a nice little trick."
Klopp commented in a low voice from the second floor.
Curtis Jones didn't expect Chang Huan to pass the ball to him, so he was a beat too slow to react.
This caused the ball to be stopped too far from the body.
Davenport instinctively stretched out his right leg and poked the ball away.
Foden, who had come out from the side, made several stops and starts.
Counterattack!
It's too late to say.
A red figure approached rapidly, raised its right hand, grabbed Foden's left shoulder, and forcefully pulled him to the ground.
"Beep~"
The referee blew his whistle and showed a yellow card to Chang Huan for the foul.
Curtis Jones, belatedly realizing this was someone taking the blame for him, stepped forward and patted Chang Huan on the shoulder: "Brother, thank you."
Chang Huan waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing."
Monchi, who was watching the game from the second floor of the youth training building, suddenly became interested in Chang Huan.
I never expected the player recommended by Liverpool's youth academy director to be so talented!
He possesses truly exquisite footwork and strong passing ability.
They also have a high level of defensive intensity.
He gave a thumbs up: "Michael, your recommendation of number 24 (Chang Huan) is really good."
Michael Edwards smiled politely and turned to look at Alex Inglesorp with a puzzled expression.
The meaning is obvious.
Is this what you mean by no room for growth?
Alex Inglethorpe shrugged and spread his hands, a helpless and awkward smile on his face.
From the U8 initiation stage to the U10~U16 development stage, Chang Huan's talent in the youth teams can be described as above average, so last year he was offered an apprenticeship contract (U18).
But his promotion stalled at the U18 level.
There's a saying that goes something like this.
Strength is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.
The academy's evaluation team has decided to terminate the contract early at the end of the season, which is why they recommended it to "freeloader" Monchi.
Only U18 head coach Neil Critchley and Gerrard knew that Chang Huan's skill level had actually improved after returning from China.
First, I witnessed Chang Huan's improved technical skills during his extra training session yesterday evening from the window. Second, the tactical drills this morning played an unimaginable tactical role on the offensive end.
The other end.
Vinnie Grella told Chang Xian, "Chang, if your son continues to perform like this, even if he doesn't get a contract extension from Liverpool, he will be sought after by other teams."
Chang Xian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "The character '八' (eight) is still one stroke short."
"Um?"
"This means it's too early to draw conclusions."
The game continues.
Manchester City U18 organizes attacks from their own half.
After a series of passes, Sancho, who finally received the ball, created space on the right flank.
He unleashed a powerful shot!
The ball wasn't held down, resulting in poor height control and a shot that went high and wide.
Kelleher took a short goal kick.
The ball passed between several players and soon reached Chang Huan on the left wing.
His previous smooth moves drew the attention of Manchester City U18 players.
But it's not very useful.
Deep-fried meatballs, and various sudden stops and turns.
The movements were fluid and graceful.
He instantly became the most dazzling person in the room.
In the 76th minute, Brewster committed a foul in the attacking third.
Manchester City U18 goalkeeper Curtis Anderson has changed his long balls to short passes.
Brewster and substitute Rafael Camacho quickly pushed forward.
Chang Huan, Curtis Jones, and the midfielders and defenders kept up with the pressing pace and launched a high-pressing defense throughout the game.
Center-back Joel Latibodier received the ball, observed that the passing lanes on both sides were blocked, and decisively passed it back to the goalkeeper.
Goalkeeper Curtis Anderson, not known for his technical skill, met the ball with a long kick, aiming to avoid making mistakes.
Manchester City's U18 overage player Joseph Hardy failed to overtake the 1.9-meter-tall Reece Williams.
Control of football has changed hands.
Tom Clayton controlled the ball and, without waiting for Sancho or Joseph Hardy to press him, quickly passed it to defensive midfielder Liam Coyle.
The away team's midfielders and forwards pressed forward as a whole, intentionally cutting off Curtis Jones and Rafael Camacho's routes to receive the ball.
"Hey~ Give it to me!"
Just as Liam Coyle was about to pass the ball back, a red figure waving wildly appeared about ten meters to his left.
Foden and Flympong made a sudden stop and turn.
Chang Huan, who was receiving the ball, planned to stop and turn, and then make a long diagonal pass with his left foot to send the ball into the right flank he had observed in advance.
However, the ball control was poor, and the ball was far from the body.
His outstanding explosive power proved its worth in crucial moments.
He quickly took two lunges.
Fried meatballs!
He skillfully dodged the double team attack from Foden and Flympen.
"pretty!"
With a shout from Meng Qi, Chang Huan swung his left foot.
The ball, rising from the left flank of the attacking third, flew like a shooting star toward the edge of the right side of the penalty area.
Neil Critchley and Gerrard stared in disbelief at the football in mid-air.
It's so strange!
A football can always move faster than a person can run.
Manchester City U18's defensive formation is generally tilted towards the left flank.
however……
It's too late.
Right-back Diego Latti, running in a straight line along the right flank, was unmarked.
He even had time to stop the ball in front of him and then look up to check his teammates' positions.
A low cross.
Brewster, who had run to the edge of the penalty area, suddenly accelerated!
He darted forward a few steps to Manchester City U18 captain Joel Latibodier and swung his right foot from about a meter to the right of the penalty spot.
With a swift kick, the knife fell!
A powerful shot broke through Curtis Anderson's goal.
1:1
The home fans unleashed their passion, chanting Brewster's name.
However, laymen only see the spectacle, while experts see the details.
Industry insiders immediately recognized the biggest contributor to Liverpool U18's goal.
Chang Huan!
First, his drop back to receive the ball facilitated the team's smooth attack. His decisive dribbling demonstrated his exquisite footwork. His long diagonal pass was like a precision-guided shot, breaking through the entire Manchester City U18 defense!
Finally, Diego Latti easily assisted Brewster.
