    Although Emil joined the youth team early and won the youth league championship with the team last season, he mostly played as a substitute.

    And this time, he can finally participate in the entire season as an official player.  So he seemed a little excited from the beginning, but this excitement will only make him more involved in the game without bringing any negative impact to him.

    The first few games of the league every year are not very exciting, because the players have just experienced a long vacation, and they have only come to the field after a few days of training, and they have not yet regained their form.

    So in this case, Emil¡¯s outstanding performance can be noticed almost at a glance.

    As a midfielder who controls the rhythm of the game, when he plays well, he can drive the players on the same team and take advantage of the game.

    At the beginning of the season, the River Plate youth team dominated the crowd with four consecutive victories, as if to tell other teams that the league championship this time still belongs to them!

    Just when they were making great progress and the youth team members were high-spirited, a sudden failure was like a bucket of cold water poured on their heads.

    On their home court, River Plate lost the match with Independiente Argentina 1:0.

    In fact, River Plate has always had an advantage in possession of the ball throughout the game, but it may be because the forward did not bring shooting boots. Two good opportunities hit the goal post, and one single shot was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.  Originally everyone thought it would end in a tie, but unexpectedly the opponent scored a goal in stoppage time and won three points.

    After the game, because the winning streak was ended, everyone was in a bad mood. Rosas rarely scolded them this time, but just said a few words and disbanded.

    Although everyone was unhappy because of this defeat, they all believed that the goal was just an accident. They would let other teams know that their River Plate was invincible.

    However, in the next game against Newell's Old Boys, they tied with the opponent 2:2.

    Newell's Old Boys' youth team is in the middle and lower reaches of the league. Logically speaking, it will not be an obstacle to River Plate's victory. However, in fact, it is such a game where the outcome has not yet begun in everyone's eyes. The final result  But it was not as expected.

    ?? If it can be said that they were unlucky when they suffered a stoppage-time comeback in the last game, then this time they were tied by a not-so-strong opponent, this reason is no longer appropriate.

    Rosas stood on the edge of the field, frowning.

    After the game, he specially took the videotape for review, but the final conclusion was not satisfactory.

    The reason lies in the lack of backcourt players.

    Cruz, the former captain of the youth team, was promoted to the official team after the end of last season. Although Rosas asked other defenders to fill his position, the performance of the new players was not satisfactory.

    In fact, this is not just a problem for River Plate's youth team. Most of the midfielders and backfielders of other clubs are facing similar dilemmas.  It's just that because of Cruz's departure, the new players did not have enough integration with the team, which amplified this point.

    But on the court, once an opponent catches a weakness, it is easy to be targeted and lose points.

    In the world of football, it is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong.  There is no absolute strength or weakness among the teams, so the outcome of the game is often unpredictable - which is the charm of this sport.

    Rosas must fill this defensive hole, otherwise River Plate will miss out on victory.

    The opponent in the next game is La Plata Gymnastics, which is also the only team that has ever restricted Emir on the field, although it only succeeded once.

    The coach of this youth team has a sharp eye and cannot fail to see the problems that exist in the River Plate youth team today.

    Because River Plate lost the first two games, this game attracted a lot of attention.  Supporters of both clubs hope to see their teams win, while neutral spectators are curious about whether River Plate, whose winning streak has been interrupted, can turn around.

    As soon as he came on the field, the coach of La Plata Gymnastics discovered that Rosas had changed the formation. It was not the 4-4-2 that River Plate was most accustomed to before, but the more conservative 4-5-1.

    He glanced at the pitch and found that Emile was in a deep position and was currently in the River Plate half.

    He felt a little unbelievable. Is Rosas¡¯ brain broken?  It is true that River Plate's defense is insufficient now, and it is easy for opponents to seize the opportunity to counterattack quickly, but you can't put an organizing midfielder in the defensive midfielder position, right?

    Emir is responsible for defense, so who will be responsible for organizing the offense?

    What¡¯s more, as a person who is good at controlling rhythm and taking responsibility,??Can players who sort out the game really do a good job of intercepting and tackling?

    Not to mention this coach, once Rosas¡¯ new formation was revealed, even the fans and commentators were a little confused.

    Emile has been playing as an organizational midfielder since he appeared on the court. His excellence in this position is obvious to all, so when such an excellent midfielder is replaced as a midfielder, everyone does not agree with it.

    The commentator said directly: "Although it can be seen that Rosas made such a change to increase the defense in the backcourt, this is too strange."

    No one is optimistic about River Plate's new formation, but less than ten minutes into the game, Emile's successful steal slapped those naysayers in the face.

    On the court, since Emile has always been the organizer of offense, he is the one who is intercepted most of the time.  In this case, what he showed was various ball-protecting skills.

    But now, when he becomes a defensive player, everyone realizes that his movements are equally elegant and smooth.  There was no sloppiness or deliberate foul, just a flick of the foot, and the ball rolled to his feet, and then he quickly passed it to the fullback, and he then moved forward to receive the ball.

    His passing accuracy is extremely high, and the success rate has always remained above 90%. What's even more rare is that many times he does not need to spend time adjusting the angle of the ball, but can quickly pass it in a short time, which makes  The opponent is caught off guard.

    The coach of La Plata Gymnastics has to admit that even if Emile is positioned as a defensive midfielder, his threat is still strong.

    This was an unexpected attack. It is a pity that the ball failed to pass into the penalty area in the end, but was destroyed halfway.

    As the first person to attack, Emil did not feel any frustration, but calmly ran back to his position.

    However, because of this kick, no one dared to underestimate him.

    Although his position has moved back, those who are interested can find that the number of times he touches the ball is not much less. He is still responsible for grasping the rhythm of the game and sorting out the ball.

    It was another steal. This time Emile did not split the ball, but made a slight adjustment and made a long pass.  The ball drew an arc in the air, crossed the half court and reached the vacancy on the left, where Higuain of River Plate was waiting.

    At this time, the opponent's defensive players reacted and wanted to block it. Higuain tried to shoot after passing two defenders, but unfortunately the angle of the ball was slightly biased.

    The commentator said regretfully: "This is a great shooting opportunity, but" Before he could finish his words, the ball hit the leg of the defender who came to clear the ball in front of the goal and bounced back into the goal.

    The coach blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, and River Plate got an own goal.

    The commentator paused for a while before continuing: "River Plate got a goal, even though it was given to them by their opponent. It seems that River Plate is lucky today."

    If luck in this world also follows the law of conservation, then the one that continues to decline today must be River Plate's opponent, the La Plata Gymnastics team.

    In such a tit-for-tat game, they scored an own goal, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to their morale.  Seeing these young players becoming impatient.

    Rosas paid attention to the situation on the court. River Plate currently had an obvious advantage, and he showed a less obvious smile.

    The inspiration for this formation change came from a training match of the youth team.

    At that time, he was standing on the sidelines of the training field, watching the players running back and forth, and said to the assistant coach beside him: "Do you think there have been some changes in Emile's passing method after returning from the vacation?"

    The assistant coach said: "He plays more long passes in the game, which is a bit similar to the Premier League's playing style."

    Rosas shook his head: "The Premier League emphasizes strong confrontation and physical collision. Although Emile's body is strong enough, this is not his style of play. He just started to use long-distance passes more than the previous short passes.  The ball, but the accuracy does not decrease, and in this way, it is harder for the opponent players to defend him, and he can provide more opportunities for the frontcourt."

    Thinking of the current difficulties facing the team, an idea flashed in his mind and he touched his chin: "I have a new idea."

    After Rosas arranged the formation, the players spent the next time practicing new coordination.

    Long passes and defense are not problems for Emile. The difficulty is whether the full-back can share the pressure or provide support for the forward when he cannot move forward to feed the forward.

    The formation currently set up by River Plate is only an unfinished body, which has not yet reached a level that satisfies Rosas, but because it is the first time it has appeared on the court, it still caught La Plata Gymnastics off guard.

    In the end, River Plate won the game with a score of 2:0.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Won the game.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
