Football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Compared with Ronaldo's training results, the training scenes of Deng Kai, who was also ruthless, were much more ugly.

Once his dribbling speed increases, the ball is easily lost.

Facing the football, he didn't even have a chance to save the ball because of the uneven grass.

In the training of passing and shooting, once the distance is too far, he will not be able to do it.

His training performance is at the bottom of the echelon.

But what makes Maxa strange is that Deng Kai's performance has improved greatly.

After training for half a month, although he is still at the bottom of the echelon, he has caught up in all events, and there is no longer a huge gap between him and the rest of the echelon.

If he continues like this, he may be able to reach the middle level of the echelon in two months.

You know, this is U15.

And Deng Kai had just celebrated his thirteenth birthday.

The two-year age gap in youth training is as big as the sky.

The U15 national youth team can win the championship in the U13 World Cup!

Except for a few oversized players like Lukaku who can break the shackles of age, players as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo only have a relatively complete physical development at the age of sixteen or seventeen before their combat power soars crazily.

Speaking of physical development, Maxa became worried again.

Because according to the current data, Deng Kai's physical development is relatively slow, and the upper limit does not seem to be high.

However, Triguera repeatedly urged Deng Kai to focus on training, which Maxa really didn't understand.

Even if Deng Kai really makes a name for himself in the U15 echelon, and even kills everyone.

But when he is sixteen or seventeen years old, will other clubs buy it?

If he can't be trained, forget it. If he is trained, he will most likely become a core midfielder who can only dominate the youth league.

How much resources will this waste for the club?

How many fans were left sighing at the same time?

This hopeless cultivation should never have existed in the first place.

Of course, Maxa did not dare to say this to Trigla.

Although he didn't know exactly how many treasures Trigla had placed on Deng Kai, it must be quite a lot.

In this way, Deng Kai and Ronaldo ran from home to the training ground with the ball every morning, and ran back home from the training ground with the ball every night. It seemed as if their energy was inexhaustible.

Sometimes Ronaldo is very tired.

But Deng Kai is not tired, he even forces Ronaldo to sleep with you and makes you numb.

How can a person like Ronaldo, who refuses to admit defeat, accept a setting where a short guy is more resistant than him?

The two tortured each other and finally ushered in the start of the Portuguese U15 League!

…

The competition system of the Portuguese U15 League is different from the well-known top league competition system. It is divided into three stages.

The first stage is the regional competition. The whole of Portugal is divided into five regions. Each region has ten teams and plays a round-robin within the group, which means playing 18 games.

After the season ends, the top two teams in the group will advance directly to a total of ten teams.

The third and fourth places in each group entered the play-offs. After fierce competition, the two winners were finally selected to advance and were randomly assigned together with the previous ten teams to enter the next round of the North and South regional competitions.

There is a round robin competition within the division, with a total of ten games.

The top two teams in points advance to the final championship game, which is four teams.

The four teams continue to play an internal round-robin match, with a total of six games.

The team with the highest points is the U15 league champion of that year.

The advantage of this format is that for strong teams, the amount of games is sufficient.

As for weaker teams, don't get stuck in the quagmire of the game, end the season early, and improve yourself through training.

However, this competition system also has a controversial point, that is, there is no final word. It is an exciting knockout match where the winner is determined by points.

Those who support this format believe that this format without direct elimination is conducive to protecting the psychology of underage players.

They are still young, so there is no need to take on such exciting knockout matches too early, which can easily leave a psychological shadow.

The main purpose of this stage is training, not the competition for honor.

Opponents believe that this kind of training is not conducive to the development of players after entering the professional arena.

Adapt early and adapt late. You have to adapt sooner or later. If your goal is to play professionally, you should go through the hardships that professional players must go through as soon as possible.

It can be seen from the choice of Portugal's U15 competition format that the former has received more support.

However, in recent years, for the development of football, UEFA is promoting the introduction of a knockout format in youth leagues.

To this end, they proposed the plan of the "European Youth League".

That is... the UEFA Youth League!

After many meetings and consultations, the "U15 European Youth League" was finally officially established this year.

The competition system completely imitates the Champions League, and we are committed to making this event the Champions League for European youth players!

Once the news was confirmed, it triggered an enthusiastic response across Europe.

Everyone knows that the most commercially valuable game in basketball is the NBA!

But the most popular basketball game among local people is the NCAA!

Is this because the NCAA level is higher?

Obviously not.

It's because the NCAA allows the largest number of basketball fans to get in touch with and participate in it.

Liking the NBA is a personal thing.

But liking the NCAA is a matter of a family, a family, a school, a community, and a region.

The UEFA Youth League has a similar meaning in Europe, where football culture is developed, because 95% of youth training players will not be able to play in the European competition in the future.

Even most people will not engage in football-related industries at all.

However, the club may not support this approach.

Because the benefits of the Youth Champions League are limited.

However, frequent games are destined to increase the club's expenditure on the youth training team.

Moreover, the club's consideration of honors is limited to the first team. It doesn't matter whether the youth team wins awards or not, as long as it can provide a reserve of players for the first team.

Under this kind of conflict, not many clubs are willing to participate in the Youth Champions League.

In the end, through UEFA's efforts, they found 26 clubs that were willing to participate in the UEFA Youth League and whose youth training levels could meet the requirements of the competition.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This includes Sporting Lisbon!

If this year's event is successful, UEFA will consider launching a higher-level "U17 European Youth League" that will attract more public attention in the future.

Therefore, this year's Sporting Lisbon U15 schedule is quite compact.

However, Maxa, who just coached U15, is not an excellent "head coach".

On August 18, Sporting Lisbon U15 ushered in the first round of the league.

Deng Kai and Ronaldo team up.

But Deng Kai's performance was not satisfactory.

Long passes are not allowed.

Physical confrontation is too bad.

Not fast enough.

No ability to compete for high-altitude balls.

These shortcomings were fully exposed in the first game.

After all, this is a serious game, not a team training match.

Of course everyone will focus on your weakest link to fight.

In the 40th minute, Maxa was forced to replace Deng Kai.

Things are starting to look up for Sporting Lisbon.

In the end, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace, Sporting Lisbon defeated Ives 4-2 in an away game and took away three points.

On August 24, in the second round of the league, Sporting Lisbon U15 ushered in its first home game.

This time Deng Kai was replaced after less than thirty minutes on the field.

The team also lost to the visiting Sacha Venezia with a score of 2 to 5.

After the game, Lisbon's local football media Bora called Deng Kai's performance disastrous.

And commented, "This is a performance-based joining. Sporting Lisbon and Deng Kai are both performers, and they have each gained benefits. The victims are the fans of Sporting Lisbon and the seven who were expelled from the echelon because of Deng Kai's joining.

Real youth training”!

As soon as this statement came out, it directly detonated the Portuguese youth training circle!
