  Remember in one second

  On September 25th, Wu Yun, Gao Wei and Dick Oh followed the team to embark on an away challenge against Portuguese Primeira Liga side Varense.

  After a long journey, Maridimo coach and players arrived outside Vanlence Stadium by bus.

  When Wu Yu entered the locker room of the stadium, he found that this stadium was simply worlds apart from the one he had visited a few days ago. The stadium of Vanlence Athletic Team was very simple and could only hold six thousand people, with more than half being standing seats. And the locker room, not to mention compared to Alvarade Stadium, even compared to Maridimo's home stadium, Dos Barreiros Stadium, was far inferior.

  Despite the humble stadium and the fact that the team was only a first division team in Portugal, unknown throughout the country, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans. They arrived early at the outskirts of the stadium, where blue and white striped jerseys were visible everywhere, optimistic Portuguese holding beers, happily chatting and laughing.

  For the next match, although the opponent is Marítimo of the Portuguese Super League, who has just drawn with the strong Sporting CP away from home, they still optimistically believe that their supported team will not let Marítimo take advantage at home.

  "Alright, many of you are playing in this season for the first time, show me your performance and make a deep impression on me in this game! The main position of the team is waiting for you in the future!" Martens encouraged the players sitting in front of him in the visiting team's locker room. He sent out quite a few young players in this game.

  Those young players were inspired by the head coach, and everyone was eager to try. Wu Yu, Gao Wei, and Dikeer were even more enthusiastic about the temptation of the main position.

  Martinez watched as one by one, the young players walked out of the locker room with determination and onto the field, a hint of comfort and trust in his eyes. This game was completely different from the last one.

  In the away game against Sporting Lisbon, they were at a disadvantage before the game and even he himself had no confidence in getting points from Sporting Lisbon.

  But this game is completely different. The strength of the opposing team is far inferior to that of their own team, so they must win this game and still have a beautiful victory.

  The Maridimo team still played 433 in this game, with Lima as the team's second goalkeeper. The vice-captain of the team and the captain of the game, Luis Olm, was on the left back, Gao Wei and Boros were paired with center backs, Jo?o Diogo was on the right back, Wu Yun, Dikio and Perera were in midfield, and the three forwards were Sami, Fedelis and Danilo.

  This game obviously made the head coach of the Sri Lanka team do his homework, and Wu Yus performance in the previous game was highly valued. A midfielder was used to closely follow him, no matter where Wu Yu ran, that midfielder would follow.

  And when Wu Yu takes the ball, even if it means committing a foul, he must be stopped from turning around and passing the ball.

  Such a tough defense, at the beginning of the game, made Wu Yus and Marouane Chamakh very uncomfortable. Before the match, coach Martins' tactics were all based on Wu Yus as the core point of attack, but now that Wu Yus was tightly marked by the opponent, for a while, the players on the field did not have a better way to respond.

  It was actually Varense who did a good job in the pre-match targeted deployment, after limiting Wu Yun's play, they frequently used the two wings to make a move, sending the ball into the penalty area for the striker to grab points. For a while, the offense seemed to overwhelm Maritimo.

  However, what frustrated the opposing team's head coach was that Vanrens' two sides were basically sealed off by a young Asian defender on the opposing side, and their center couldn't gain any advantage in front of this defender.

  "Who is that defender?" Luciano, the young head coach of Vanlence Athletics, asked his assistant coach beside him.

  "Should be a Chinese central defender who transferred with Wu Yong together."

  "Let them pound it on the ground and knock that big defensive back off his feet!" Luciano changed strategy without hesitation.

  He was originally targeting the problem of Marouane Fellaini's poor defensive ability in midfield, but unexpectedly, Martinez used 1.90-meter-tall Gao Wei today, rendering his tactics useless.

  However, after they changed their strategy, they found that they still couldn't break through Gao Wei's defense. Although Gao Wei's turns were relatively slow, he was tall and had accurate footwork, continuously intercepting the ball under the feet of Vanlens' forwards.

  After another scramble for the ball, Gao Wei looked up to see Wu Yu still being tightly marked by the opponent's defender, while Dicko was unguarded.

  "Get the ball to Dickau!" Martens yelled from the sidelines.

  In the first 20 minutes of the game, he had already discovered this problem. The players were suppressed by the opponent's momentum at that time and did not have the opportunity to execute his new tactical deployment.

  As soon as Martins' voice fell, Gao Wei had already passed the ball to Dikou's feet. As one of the three midfielders, Dikou was responsible for linking up attacks and defenses, but he also had some dribbling ability himself. After taking the ball, he immediately turned around and pressed forward past midfield

  。

  Because Vanrens' defensive focus was all on Wu Yu, Dick suddenly entered the no man's land and broke through to the outer penalty area in an instant. He glanced at the opponent's goal and found that there were no defenders pressing up yet, so he shot a foot with anger, as if to vent out the resentment of being suppressed just now.

  The ball flew straight to the opponent's goal like a cannonball, and the opposing goalkeeper made a flying save. The ball slipped through his fingertips but just grazed the post and went out of bounds. Maridimo almost scored the first goal.

  After Dickoh sounded the horn for Maritimo's counterattack, the opposing midfielder realized that there was another outstanding young player in Maritimo's formation, and some of the defensive power that had been focused on Wu Yong was diverted to defend against Dickoh.

  Without the opponent's desperate pressing, Wu Yu finally found an opportunity to regain control of the game's rhythm. This match eventually returned to what everyone had predicted before the game after 20 minutes: Maridimo dominated the offense.

  In the 35th minute of the first half, Wu Yu took over the ball from Pereira's feet and accelerated with a turn, easily shaking off the opponent's defender. He didn't stick to the ball, but directly passed it to left winger Sami, at which time left back and team captain Olum had already overlapped on the flank.

  Sami made a fake move, passing the ball to Olim, who pressed all the way to the bottom line. With his left foot, he kicked the ball into the middle of the penalty area, but it landed high on the near post. Wu Yong happened to be in this position, but the opponent also had players flying over to intercept, and shooting directly would have likely hit the opponent's defender.

  Wu Yu didn't shoot directly, but instead used the outside of his right foot to lightly flick the ball over the defender, near the left sideline of the penalty area. As he was making this move, he quickly lifted his head and saw that Fidelis and an opposing defender were competing for position in front of the goal, while the penalty spot was empty, with a red-green figure rapidly running into the penalty arc from the top.

  Without hesitation, Wu Yu's left foot sent a low pass to the penalty spot, and Dicko's figure appeared in front of the ball. He swung his right foot and fired a powerful shot at the goal!

  Bang!!!

  The opponent's goalkeeper hadn't even had time to react before the ball shot into the net.

  Wu Yu assists Dicka to score, Maritimo leads 1-0!

  Dick O, who scored the first goal of his professional career, ran towards Wu Yu with a smile on his face, and the two high-fived to celebrate. The other teammates also gathered around, patting Wu Yu and Dick O's heads in encouragement. The coordination between the two earlier was really too tacit.

  On the stands, among the silent home team fans, a middle-aged man in black clothes looked at the field and nodded slightly, then lowered his head to write something on his notebook.

  。

  After the deadlock was broken, Maridimo's football became more and more smooth, especially Wu Yu and Dicko's cooperation in midfield, as if they had played together for ten years, with a perfect understanding. They often easily broke through the opponent's defense line. In the second half, Wu Yu assisted Sami on the left wing to score a goal, and the game ended with Maridimo winning 2-0 away from home. Wu Yu won the title of best player in the match with two assists.

  In this match, the three young players who started with Marouane Fellaini all performed well. Gao Wei became a stabilizer in the backfield, making the goalkeeper almost uneventful throughout the game. Wu Yu and Dico were tidy in midfield, making the game completely under their control.

  The whole game, Maridimo's possession rate reached 60%, with 14 shots on goal and 8 shots within the frame of the goal. Wu Yun played as a midfielder for the full 90 minutes, with over 100 passes throughout the game, including 8 threatening passes that made the opponent's midfielders and defenders struggle.

  After the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the man in black who was sitting among the home team fans and occasionally bowed his head to take notes stood up and looked at the Maritimo players on the field before following the crowd out of the stadium.

  On the other side of the stadium, on the outskirts of several hundred Maridimo die-hard fans who were still celebrating, a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt was covering his left ear with his left hand and holding a phone in his right hand, speaking loudly to someone on the phone.

  "Hey boss, it's me. It's really noisy here... I saw some interesting things today."

  "Oh? What else did you find?" A hoarse but energetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "I see more than one talented player in Maridimo's lineup, they also have a young Chinese defender and a midfielder, both are excellent!"

  "How about Wu Yun compared to him?" Although the floral shirt was excited, the other end of the phone seemed extremely calm.

  "Although they may not be as eye-catching as Wu Yun, they all have the potential to become 20 million-level players and cannot be missed!" The flower shirt said excitedly.

  "Oh? Alright then, you go back first, I'll deal with this matter as soon as possible." After saying that, the person in the floral shirt seemed to have gained interest.

  But who are they?
