In England, their football system is very complete, and each level is clearly divided.
In addition to the world-renowned Premier League, there are also the Championship, League One, League Two and other leagues at all levels. In addition, they will have reserve teams and youth teams at all levels. Of course, at the beginning of each season, the FA will ask the teams whether to participate in leagues at all levels.
In addition to the league, they will also have cup competitions of various levels.
Just like Manchester United U18's upcoming U18 FA Youth Cup, which is a branch of the FA Cup.
Of course, the youth team will not play two games a week or even three games a week like the adult team. They will only have four games a month at most, and at least two games. This is mainly to avoid affecting the players' normal study and life.
Just like the 16-year-old Januzaj, in addition to coming to the team for training, he also has to keep up with the school's cultural courses.
As for Ye Chen, he didn't have this worry because he dropped out of school to play football.
After the players from both teams entered the field, Team A wore red vests symbolizing the main players, while Team B wore blue vests symbolizing the substitutes.
Bairney looked at Ye Chen in front of him, his mouth curled up, and he said sarcastically, "Yellow monkey, take a good look at the strength of the team's main striker. People like you are only worthy of going home to sell DVDs!"
[In the early years, there were a large number of yellow people in East London who made a living by selling DVDs. They looked down on these yellow people and often used DVDs as a synonym for yellow people.]
Ye Chen frowned, "How about we make a bet? Whoever loses will call the other person "Dad" three times in front of everyone in the team!"
"Hahahaha." Bairney sounded as if he had heard the best joke. "Are you sure?"
"Of course, you wouldn't dare, would you?"
Bairnier pulled Pearson over to him and said, "Pearson, you heard it. He wanted to bet with me, not me bullying him!"
Ben Pearson glanced at Ye Chen and said, "You'd better not gamble. Your strength is far inferior to his!"
"Just watch, I'm not the same person I was before!" Ye Chen clenched his fists.
In the world of football, the strong are respected.
Only when you show enough strength will you be respected!
"Ding, a random task is issued. Score more goals than Bayern in this game!"
"If you succeed in the mission, you will be rewarded with a bronze treasure chest. If you fail in the mission, you will lose five shooting attribute points!"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. Originally he wanted to save face, but now it was not just a matter of saving face, but a matter of attribute points!
"Beep!"
The team coach Chris acted as a temporary referee. He interrupted the conversation between the two and blew the whistle directly.
At this moment, Solskjaer on the sidelines has opened his little notebook and started recording the players' performance.
He didn't tell the players before the game that only those who performed well enough in the training match would have the opportunity to represent Manchester United in the game against Liverpool...
You know, this U18 FA Youth Cup will be held at Old Trafford!
The game officially started, and Team A, as the main force, took the initiative on the field.
But everyone is a member of the youth team, the gap is not particularly big, and the defense of Team B is also well organized.
Time quickly came to 5 minutes and 32 seconds in the first half. After Byrne's shot hit Jack Ruggi's feet, the ball bounced into the empty area on the right.
Januzaj reacted quickly and appeared on the right and took the ball.
After getting the ball, Januzaj decisively dribbled forward, but Grimshaw from the left side of team A had already rushed over and blocked his way.
"I'm here!"
At this moment, Ye Chen retreated and raised his hand to take the ball.
Hearing Ye Chen's voice, Januzai made a direct cross pass and the ball fell at Ye Chen's feet.
Because he was retreating to get the ball, the two central defenders did not follow up, and Ye Chen was suddenly in an open position.
After looking at the goalkeeper's position, Ye Chen did not hesitate and shot directly!
"Bang!"
The outside of the right foot hit the bottom of the football hard, and the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
Solskjaer was still recording that Bayern's kick was too sloppy, and he looked up and saw this scene...
I saw him with his mouth slightly open, staring at the long shot in disbelief!
