Just two minutes into the game, Reading took a one-goal lead, which made Arsenal's forwards quite dissatisfied with their defense.
But in fact, their offense is also a mess.
With the head coach of the first team sitting on the sidelines, don't expect the players of the youth team to maintain any sense of normalcy. If they can perform at about 80% of their usual level, they are worthy of the bunch of "geniuses" that the scouts said in their reports. "You must not miss it." "Born for the big scene" and other comments, as for those embryonic superstars who can explode with 120% of their power under such circumstances, they have long stopped participating in this level of competition.
Arsenal are eager for quick success and the more they play, the worse they get. Reading is also half-measured and in a mess.
Wenger lacked interest and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the interesting child just now.
He originally thought that this kid would be like other forwards, standing in the penalty area silently complaining about the weak midfield and defense, or making ineffective and boring moves like a headless fly, but he didn't expect this. The child's movement is very interesting.
Although not fast, and often just walking, he adjusted his position almost every time the midfielder completed a pass.
As discerning as a professor, he naturally knew that was the easiest place to receive the pass and complete the offense under the circumstances.
Unfortunately, there is no "second Xavi" or "Little Pirlo" among Reading's midfielders. His series of moves can only be seen by a blind man.
Wenger unconsciously sat up straight and began to focus on Alexander.
He didn't realize that ten minutes had passed.
The old man seemed to have forgotten which side he was from, and couldn't help but mutter.
"...It's time to pass... Pass the ball to the kid... Yes, that's it... Let's see how you will handle it this time..."
The passer was Reading's No. 6, their captain on the field.
A very accurate pass to the ground, sending the ball directly to Alexander.
Arsenal No. 4 immediately came over, but was blocked aside by Alexander.
No. 4 was a few centimeters taller than Alexander, and his whole body was also a bit bigger, but even though his face turned red, he couldn't push Alexander any further.
He felt like there was a wall in front of him.
Now Cox finally saw something was wrong.
What can I say about Alexander, a player who is mediocre and mediocre. His biggest advantage is that he has no shortcomings. His biggest disadvantage is that he has no advantages.
You can make a living in football, but if you don't suddenly enlighten yourself, you will probably be barely a water cooler player in the second or third tier leagues in your life.
Physical confrontation is not his strong point, but it is also not his weakness. However, he will always find ways to avoid it and try to get rid of the opponent with his foot skills. It is quite rare to actively push the defender aside like this.
And this is just the beginning.
After Alexander turned sideways to catch the ball, he made a heavy move towards the goal. He easily got rid of the astonished No. 4 and drove the ball towards the goal.
No. 5 rushes forward to cover the defense.
This guy's size and strength were completely inferior to those of No. 4, so the result was naturally even worse, as he was directly knocked away.
It was almost like a mantis blocking a car and being knocked away.
Arsenal's No. 2 central defender directly abandoned Reading's No. 9 forward and pounced on Alexander. However, he underestimated Alexander's speed. After being left behind by Alexander, he simply hung on his back with his hands and feet. .
Alexander directly carried the opponent and continued running.
Wenger's mouth opened slightly and he stood up unconsciously.
Isabella took a breath.
The youth team is just a breeding ground. Who doesn't know who everyone is?
Is this Alexander? !
The goalkeeper abandoned the goal and walked out. Alexander's expression remained calm, but his eyes became as sharp as blades.
"Alex! This way!" No. 9, who had no defensive players around him, shouted in surprise.
Alexander turned to look at him, and the goalkeeper immediately swung his center of gravity toward No. 9, like a conditioned reflex.
At this moment, Alexander decisively made a reverse angle, and the football quietly crossed the goal line against the turf again.
Isabella couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at her cub like an alien.
Alexander rushed to the sidelines again and stood in front of her with a stinking look on his face.
Looking at his face with "Come on, praise me" written all over it, Isabella felt relieved.
Fortunately, he should still be my son.
Dyson rushed over, jumped on Alexander's back, held his shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously, "Brother, what have you done?! You fucking...have you been hiding your strength?"
Alexander threw him off and said softly: "Mom told me to work hard secretly and then surprise everyone. Obviously, now is that time."
"Oh, damn Alex, you are always so cunning," Dyson naturally thought of Wenger immediately, UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.com "I have to say, you did it, but it was not amazing, it was frightening! Frightening , understand?!"
Alexandercai didn't bother to care whether he was surprised or frightened, and turned around to accept the congratulations from others.
No. 9, who didn't even have a name, was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. He just said in a joking tone: "Hey, man, if you just passed it to me, you would have passed it to me now."
"But my two goals are gone," Alexander said with the same smile, "If it were you, what would you choose?"
"Well, you're right," said No. 9, "our mission is to score goals."
Alexander didn't know whether he was echoing him or saying to himself, "Yes, a goal."
Score lots and lots of goals.
The game continues.
Alexander has naturally become Arsenal's focus.
One goal may be lucky, two goals may be coincidence, but to deceive the goalkeeper and score the ball after eating three defenders alive can only be attributed to strength.
Of course the guards who had been abused by Alexander didn't want to make things easier for him. They tried their best to do whatever they could, but it was obvious that they were of no use...
In the 20th minute, Reading No. 9's long-range shot was saved, and Alexander cleverly made a follow-up shot to complete his hat trick;
In the 29th minute, the captain of Reading dropped a free kick into the penalty area. Alexander grabbed the ball under the double-team of two defenders and volleyed into the net;
In the 36th minute, Reading No. 3 made a pass from the wing, and Alexander once again knocked the ball into the goal with a defender.
40th minute…
A few years later, a young boy named Haaland emerged at the World Youth Championship. He shocked the world of football with 9 goals in a single game, but for many people who watched the game...
Those are all leftovers from Alexander's play.
