Chapter Thirty-One: The Young Are Fearsome

  It's this kid.

  Gan So surprisingly recognized Chen Haonan...

  Good kid, it's actually from Santos youth team? Seems to have some skills, even learned how to pass the ball like me? Ganso recognized him, but felt a bit displeased in his heart, yet didn't show any extra expression.

  At this time, Chan Ho-nam's pass just penetrated the youth team's defense and sent the ball to Gutiérrez's feet. Although Gutiérrez got the ball, he may not have thought that the ball would really come to his feet.

  In a hurry, he stumbled and passed the ball too far.

  Denilson let out a loud cry of frustration on the sidelines! He was clearly clutching his wrist in pain at the missed opportunity.

  "Koert! The shot was in the shower of some girl's house last night, and you even forgot to stop it?" Nicolas caught up with Guti, patted his shoulder, and teased him a bit.

  If this ball were played by a first-line team, there would be at least one good shooting opportunity. I didn't expect the youth team to have such a player... Ganso sighed in his heart.

  His thoughts had not lasted long, and the youth team's players seemed to be in sync with his emotions, inexplicably losing the ball again. The ball once again returned to Chen Haonan's feet, and Chen Haonan hesitated for a moment before making another surgical pass.

  Just like measuring again, tore apart the youth team's defense line!

  This time it was Nicholas's turn to take the free kick, he didn't stop the ball like Gutierrez did, the ball was perfectly cleared by him, but that shot...

  Almost crashed into the corner flagpole.

  "Ugh... this is outrageous! Nelsen, if I was sneaking a peek at the girl bathing last night, then you must have been masturbating to her, otherwise it wouldn't be so off the charts. You're even more disgusting than me..."

  Guti didn't reproach his teammates either, but instead offered a very relaxed and humorous irony.

  Nicholas had just stopped laughing for a moment, and now it was his turn again. He could say nothing, but only walk back with shame, holding his head in his hands.

  In just two minutes, they wasted Chen Haonan's exquisite passes one after another.

  To know, even if one foot is in, the score can become 1:3, but as a result, neither of them entered the door.

  Chen Haonan was very calm and able to pass the ball well, he was already very satisfied, at least the task was completed satisfactorily, as for whether those two kids could score or not, it wasn't his business.

  Denerle was similarly distraught pacing back and forth on the sidelines.

  Damn those bunnies, when they get back I'll make them practice shooting over a thousand times a day, is this what you call shooting?! It's disgusting, even three-year-olds can shoot better than them! He muttered in discontent, very dissatisfied with Guti and Nikolas' performance.

  Of course, the two consecutive raids also made the youth team frightened, thinking that the juvenile team was just a fish on the chopping board, but unexpectedly, the wind and cloud changed suddenly, and they almost got caught up by two goals.

  The young team's interim coach also scolded loudly on the sidelines, extremely dissatisfied with his defensive players.

  "Is that kid the Chen Haonan who performed well last week?" He scolded as he walked back, but still didn't forget to pay attention to Chen Haonan's performance, and naturally started chatting with his assistant coach beside him, inquiring about Chen Haonan's situation.

  The assistant coach standing beside him hastily stepped forward to report: "Yes, this is Chen Haonan. However, according to my specific understanding, he indeed has a big physical defect, and it's not much different from what Tyler observed before. His legs have no strength at all, and his speed is extremely slow. He's not suitable for our youth team at all. In my opinion, the Mario Eduardo recommended a few days ago is still better..."

  The assistant coach first belittled Chan Ho-nam and then praised another person named Mario Eduardo.

  "Mario Eduardo, this kid is fast, calm and has a good overall view, although..." The assistant coach was about to continue praising him, but was interrupted by the youth team's head coach.

  "But Oliveira Denilson said that this kid is being treated and is slowly getting back on track. Look, this little guy doesn't run much like Ganso, but his passing with the ball is similar to Ganso's, and even his movement off the ball is a bit faster than Ganso's..."

  Obviously, the head coach of the youth team does not share the same view as his assistant coach.

  "Although that's the case, an incomplete semi-finished product can't compare to a good finished product in terms of value. I personally still think Mario Eduardo is more suitable." The assistant coach rubbed his nose with his left hand, still insisting on his own idea, and stubbornly went against the head coach, expressing his own point of view.

  The commander-in-chief did not speak, but quietly watched everything on the field.

  His eyes were fixed on Chen Haonan.

  The recent wave of attacks by the youth team suddenly suppressed the youthful arrogance of the young team, thanks to Chen Haonan.

  Seizing the opportunity, Chen Haonan's pass gave the youth team a glimmer of hope for a goal, and their morale naturally rose again. They're playing with all their might!

  As for the youth team, apart from Ganso, everyone else started to get anxious. In the second half, the youth team's coach replaced all 10 players at once, which means Ganso didn't play in the second half and the rest of the players were substituted out, equivalent to the youth team's substitute players taking the field.

  If they really get scored by those young kids from the youth team, where will their faces be? If the head coach sees that they are not making an effort and not doing anything, they might not even be able to keep their places as substitutes!

  Ganso still looks so calm and composed, slowly shuttling back and forth in midfield. When he has the ball, he passes it; when he doesn't have the ball, he slows down even more, driving his teammates crazy.

  The most fatal thing is that Ganso was substituted out at the 70th minute!

  Yes, Ganso has been substituted!

  Gan Ning descended, who in Shu would be a great general? Liao Hua acted as vanguard.

  The youth team is one level higher than the junior team, but lacks a top-notch midfielder, which greatly discounts their combat effectiveness.

  And it was at this time that the youth team began to rise...

  "This kid is pretty good."

  After Ganso came off, he didn't go to the youth team coach Denilson or the U20 team coach, but went straight to the middle, because there was another person in the middle, Santos' technical director Waldemar Fornes.

  Finnan this time accompanied Ganso to the youth team, one is to inspect Ganso's competitive state, and the other is to inspect whether there are any truly promising players in the two youth teams.

  But Gan Suo, after coming down to the ground at the first time, started communicating with Chen Haonan, completely throwing away the fact that Chen Haonan had extorted money from him earlier. It can be seen that Gan Suo is actually not as bad as Chen Haonan imagined.

  "This kid I'm also clear about, it's just that I'm afraid his illness can't be cured. You know, the club is now poor as dirt..."

  In just over ten minutes, Chen Haonan has received so much attention from many people, both good and bad, but the common point is that everyone is skeptical about his illness...

  It was as if heaven had arranged it, Chen Haonan made another move, and the ball obediently came to Guti's feet again.

  Gutierrez and Nicholas both successfully counter-attacked!

  "Nalson, you come shoot..." After breaking through the last defense line, Gutierrez faced the goalkeeper and unexpectedly did not shoot! Instead, he chose to pass the ball to Nicholas...

  Nicholas himself did not expect Gutierrez to pass the ball? No confidence?

  He faced an empty goal and scored with one touch.

  "Haha......" He just laughed and closed his mouth, because Gutierrez's murderous gaze was approaching.

  Everyone knows Guti is afraid of losing this shooting opportunity, so he chose the safest way, which is to pass the ball...

  In the seventy-third minute, the youth team finally tied the score at 3-1.

  It has to be said that a good midfielder is equivalent to half of the team.

  The youth team no longer has a leader, while the juvenile team has Tan Ho Nam.

  When the youth team members realized that Chan Ho-nam's passing was really too terrible, they did not dare to ignore him again and could only assign one person to defend him closely.

  The youth team's defense won't be as easy as the last game against Saint Paul, so Chan Ho-nam didn't have the chance to assist with passing in the back.

  But even so, in the last moment of the game, one of his exquisite heel kicks almost brought hope.

  It's just Gutierrez, still running forward without any awareness, wasting another opportunity.

  The final score was 1-3, the youth team won as expected, but their faces didn't look good, on the contrary, the members of the juvenile team were all smiling like they had won the game.

  In the last twenty minutes, the youth team's offense was like a storm, and the young team was defeated. If the striker had been more powerful, there might have been even greater hope.

  "The young team... is nothing more than that, if Hao Nan had gone on the court earlier..." Gutierrez boasted to Nicolas after the game, seemingly forgetting that he himself wasted at least three one-on-one opportunities and scored zero personal goals.

  "He played a good game for twenty minutes, but once he was defended by an opponent of the same level, he seemed to be at a loss...” Valde Fennan shook his head and sighed. He naturally saw Chen Haonan's passing consciousness and overall view were quite good, but he also saw Chen Haonan's weakness at a glance.

  "But... he's not out of options, it's just that a good cook can't make a meal without rice. If his feet are still moving forward, perhaps we should give him another chance..."

  He didn't shut the door completely and still held a glimmer of hope for Chen Haonan.

  Deneritz had already come over to their side and was waving at them from afar.

  Denilson may not be a top star in Brazil, but compared to Ganso, they are half-and-half. Neither of them has achieved brilliant results in a truly European giant club, but domestically, they were still prominent for a time.

  So Denerielsen, who is now the head coach of Santos Youth Team, still doesn't feel that he is in a inferior position when facing these two people, and of course, Ganso, as his junior in football, will not be disrespectful to him.

  "How's this? Does it meet your requirements?" Denilson asked bluntly as he walked closer.

  Ganso and Valde Fennan exchanged a glance, neither confirming nor denying...
