The Hammers fans in their red jerseys kicked off and the game began.
Arthur immediately rushed towards the opponent's striker with the ball, so aggressive for no other reason than to find out how fast he could be at full power. He felt the confidence grow as he felt the return of power against the force, as if he could just smash his opponent.
The man was taken aback and quickly returned the pass. Arthur chased towards the ball again, and the opposing youngster fumbled a pass to the left, which was broken up by the onrushing man jamming the passing route.
Amateur players have a lack of individual ability and are prone to mistakes, both on offense and defense. On the wild pitch it is usually the players themselves who create chances with the ball and not much cooperation.
The Arsenal fans in yellow jerseys were given the chance to counter attack. 30 year old Simon, the other striker in the team, is no slouch and went past a man to bring it forward quickly.
Simon also entered the soccer training camp, but the talent is not outstanding, technical ability in the team ranked, nothing special.18 years old can sign a professional contract, he is not strong enough to do the professional players, can only play football as a hobby.
Simon's skills are out of this world in the amateurs and he's a good teammate.
Arthur was clear that his ability to carry the ball was not good, and raised his length to run into the penalty area to stand on the stumps. The center back of the yellow team felt hard at once and could not squeeze Arthur at all.
If it's a professional player, he can run according to his teammate's stand and defend by creating an offside. This center back of the yellow team didn't run away and tried to fight Arthur hard because he usually doesn't have the chance to fight against players coming out of the Arsenal training camp.
The team had just seen Arthur's ability to compete for headers, Simon attracted the defense and spread the ball to the side, his teammate on the right followed up without interference with a cross of high quality.
There are good amateur players, this student is good at passing and has practiced emphatically.
The long pass and punch tactic originated from the English, and the England team has carried this tactic forward but has a poor record in major tournaments. Because of David Beckham, many English people have a strong interest in long passes and passes, no matter whether they are accurate or not, as long as they kick the arc, they will be very proud.
Arthur squeezed past the defenders with a slight push, started quickly and ran two steps, and leapt high to head the ball a short distance from the goal.
Headers are one of the most difficult attacks to defend against, the ball is extremely fast and the goalkeeper has difficulty judging the direction. Arthur had the experience to head down, the ball bounced on the ground and flew into the goal, the goalkeeper did not even have a little reaction.
Arthur scored right at the start of the game and it was beautiful. His teammates came up to celebrate, while the Reds players saw him as a key target for the day, just too fierce.
The captain of the red team was a bit disgruntled and said to the center back in charge of the defense, "Stay close, why did you just start the game and miss?"
"It wasn't a leak, he was too strong and almost knocked me over when he ran." The center back said helplessly.
"Are you kidding me? You're almost thirty and ten years older than him." The captain didn't believe it. It was on the news that Arthur had just turned eighteen, and it was normal to say that he was good at bouncing and fast, so how could he be stronger than a grown man of about the same height?
"I'm serious, this kid's body is so sick, don't believe me."
The captain of the red team was named Harry Stinson, a famous soccer hooligan in Newham district. He is 30 years old, 178c tall, with Guo Da's hairstyle and Stinson's body type. He is playing mainly at the back, fierce in defense and average in offense.
Five minutes into the kick, the Yellow team played a counter-attack straight into the box and Arthur had the ball just outside the box. Harry, the captain, immediately went up to close down and look for a confrontation, wanting to test Arthur's mettle.
People without confrontation skills are not good at soccer because it is difficult to break through successfully. Harry was a little known slugger on the Newham Borough wild pitch and was rarely overpowered, often closing down and knocking people off their center of gravity and then breaking the ball up.
His defensive skills are all based on one word - hard!
Unfortunately, some are harder.
Harry crashed into Arthur and felt bounced off as if he had hit a wall. He was running sideways against it and instantly lost his center of gravity, then flopped to the ground with a mix-up in his feet and watched as Arthur continued to carry the ball forward on all fours.
Focker! This guy's too much, isn't he? What's wrong with him?
Harry, who was on the ground, at the moment suspected that Arthur had changed his age and was not 18 at all. The team also has young players to play together, he played physical confrontation is never crushed, and now it is crushed.
Physically destined to be more than just a grabber, Arthur took the ball and took a big trip to man-mark the ball, relying on his speed to cut in towards the middle of the field from a position off to the left to form a one-two punch past the center back.
Both men are of similar height, and their amateur opponents are more than a beat slower, with a turnaround speed that is simply no speed at all.
Arthur actually took the ball too far, and because of this, his speed advantage was obvious. He chased the ball at full speed, shook off a defender, and poked a right-footed shot through the goalkeeper before he could pounce on the ball. 2-0.
Arthur was not without experience in official matches, and after inheriting the original owner's experience as a goalkeeper, he knew what kind of shots goalkeepers hated the most. His reaction was also quick, catching up with the ball and immediately thinking of how to kick it.
Players are not suited to push shots for angles when they are close to the goalkeeper, and draw shots risk kicking someone. Poked shots are hard to save, fast and unexpected.
The more Arthur kicked, the more excited he became, the feeling of being transformed was too wonderful. Before crossing over he couldn't kick well, it was his physical fitness that was too poor.
As a veteran fan from 20 years later, he didn't play soccer well, but he watched a lot, and the theory that is a set of things. Haven't you ever eaten pork before?
Arthur played a very methodical game, always waiting for a pass close to the goal and looking for a chance to grab a shot at goal. If there was no direct shot opportunity, he would shield the ball and look for a receiving teammate.
His kicking style is unselfish and awesome to his teammates. Most guys on the field are very solitary, they get the ball and just bury their head in the air and carry it forward, no comparison to someone who has been trained in the system.
After half an hour of kicking, Arthur had his 3rd personal goal. After a melee in front of the goal and a teammate's shot was blocked, he squeezed past a defender to catch up with the soccer ball and scored easily with a push from close range.
The red team changed the main defense or not, Arthur relied on his body to get rid of it as soon as he started. In this kind of amateur game, the players also do not want to wrap up someone, Arthur kicked easily.
As the game entered the second half, Arthur's performance was more eye-catching. He always had an easy header for his teammates to launch counterattacks and increased the number of shots on goal himself.
He scored 4 more goals on headers and kicks, scoring 7 goals all by himself and kicking the back of the opponent's defense. The Hammers fans scored 4 goals but lost in a heartbreaking fashion, with the two teams playing to a lopsided 11-4 scoreline.
All of Arthur's goals have been from inside the box, not a single shot from distance has been taken or attempted. He doesn't carry the ball much, he doesn't look for assists, he just doesn't miss, and his passing isn't bad either. He pushes the ball out with the inside of his foot and that's it, the basics that anyone who has ever played soccer knows and doesn't need to be taught.
He's getting harder and harder, also because his opponents aren't as physically fit as he is. How physical could a bunch of amateurs be? Arthur was on another level, he was in the upper echelon of physical fitness among the pros.
Anyone who has played the game knows that the top players in terms of stamina are around Big Red 95 and Arthur 90 not too far off.
According to the official statistics of FIFA, the average running distance of a professional soccer player in a game is about 10 kilometers. Among them, the average running distance of players in the five major European leagues is about 12 kilometers.
In 2002, there weren't that many "runners" in soccer. Arthur's 90 was about the strength of a top 5 runner, making it too easy for him to play amateur soccer. Because of the lack of fierce confrontation, his physical strength is even more abundant. Lara
In fact, Arthur is the most physically fit of the Arsenal u18 ladder. It was not obvious when he was a goalkeeper, the coach did not realize his talent. This has to do with the fact that he is a crosser, before the original body only likes to keep goal.
Wasted talent says a lot about this kind of person, and thankfully he won't be wasting it in the future.
Arthur was a goal scoring machine simply by playing to his physical strengths and was unbeatable on the field. He was aware of the low level of this kind of game and was as excited as ever because he had never looked so good and was the sole focus of the room.
Once the game was over, Arsenal fans dominated Arthur's group.
Baden asked, "How come you're so good at playing forward? Would you consider transitioning in the future?"
"I've already figured out that I'm going to transition to playing striker next, I'm not going to be a goalkeeper anymore." Arthur gave an affirmative answer, not afraid of others knowing.
Another asked, "So will you be looking for a tryout with a pro team next? Tryouts as a forward?"
"Yeah, I've found that I like the offense more and I'm pretty confident about being a pro."
Baden asked, "Are you going to play with us again? We play every week, sometimes twice."
"Yeah, the more contests the better ..."
