The referee blew his whistle, and Dortmund U19 kicked off.

In this match, the right flank is the stronger side, and the left flank is the weaker side.

Yuan Meng received a lot of possession and frequently attempted to break through on the wing.

However, Bielefeld had clearly done their research; their defensive midfielders and wingers dropped deep, and as soon as Yuan Meng showed any signs of breaking through, they immediately formed a three-man attack with the full-backs.

The treatment of a star player, right?

Yuan Meng slowed down a bit, widening her stance slightly to establish a connection with the organization's core member, Kopac.

Right-back Passlack stood not far behind Yuan Meng, providing a pivot for back passes.

In the first ten minutes, Dortmund U19 had 75% possession of the ball.

The ball returned to Yuan Meng's feet, and he suddenly accelerated, drawing two defenders to double-team him.

Before the opposing midfielder could catch up, Yuan Meng delivered a powerful cross, and the ball slipped between the opposing winger's legs.

Taking advantage of the opponent's winger's rash interception, he accelerated forward.

After receiving the ball, Kopac made a through pass to Gabriel, who had dropped back to receive it.

With his back to the defensive midfielder, Gabriel made a graceful half-turn, evading the defender who was trying to steal the ball, and then passed the ball to Yuan Meng, who was advancing.

"Great news!"

Yuan Meng controlled the ball with her right foot and then moved inside. The opposing full-back tried to block the inside line but couldn't catch anything.

The frustrated full-back accelerated his pursuit.

After Yuan Meng dribbled the ball, she flicked it with her left foot!

He slid towards the baseline, and the opposing fullback couldn't catch him at all.

Yuan Meng reached the baseline and delivered a cutback pass!

Larsen was already prepared and rushed over, volleying the ball into the far corner before the defender could clear it!

"GOAL!!!!!"

"A fluid and seamless attack!"

"Under Bielefeld U19's tight defense."

"Borussia Dortmund U19 broke through the opponent's defensive formation with a series of passing and movement combinations!"

"Borussia Dortmund U19, leading 1-0!"

"Yuan!!!" Larsen rushed towards the corner flag, turned around and pointed at Yuan Meng, who had passed the ball to him.

Yuan Meng smiled and ran over to him to hug him.

Tuchel, standing in the stands, turned to look at Ricken beside him.

"His dribbling routes and passing choices are all fine, so why say he lacks football intelligence?"

After reading Yuan Meng's scouting report, Tuchel couldn't help but ask this question.

Ricken recalled Yuan Meng's match video in his mind and explained.

"In previous matches, Yuan Meng often missed excellent passing opportunities and tended to pass the ball safely, so the analyst concluded that his football IQ was not high enough."

"Perhaps... I've made some progress recently?"

Ricken couldn't be sure either.

"I don't think so," Tuchel concluded, stroking his chin. "The choices a player makes on the field often reveal their true nature: whether they take risks or play it safe, whether they are composed or reckless."

"Yuan's choice is obvious: high-risk, high-return."

"He often doesn't like to hesitate when he breaks through, like just now, he had already planned to make a fake move and cut past the guard."

"A player like that wouldn't like to pass the ball safely, unless..."

Ricken understood and couldn't help but nod.

"It seems that his previous skill level was insufficient to support his ideas, which led to his frequent safe passes."

"His technical improvement has made him more and more confident on the field."

Tuchel nodded, confirming this statement.

"Should we promote him to the first team?" Ricken asked tentatively.

"No rush, let's take another look."

On the field, the Bielefeld U19 players seemed a bit impatient.

Their tactical plan was to defend desperately in the first half, exhaust Dortmund U19's stamina, and then exert their strength in the second half.

However, they conceded a goal within ten minutes, their tactics collapsed, and the head coach made a last-minute change to a 4-4-2 high-pressing formation to look for opportunities.

Kopac controlled the ball in the middle and signaled to his teammates to slow down.

Yuan Meng frequently moved inside to the flanks to support Kopac, in order to prevent losing possession in the middle and being caught on the counter-attack.

Dortmund U19's formation moved further back, while Bielefeld U19 grew more confident and gradually pushed their formation forward.

Bielefeld's midfielder Yazar broke free of the pressure and turned to pull into the open space on the flank.

The wingers and center forwards start simultaneously.

Yasar played a through ball, which went past Irma!

"Damn it! Reinforce the defense!"

Irma roared and hurriedly chased after him.

Yuan Meng made an emergency chase back, forcibly slowing down the opponent's winger, Wozniacki's, advance.

"Skudri, close the door!" Yuan Meng shouted.

Closing the goal: Two defenders sandwich the ball carrier between their left and right sides, preventing him from looking left and right or having any space to advance and shoot.

The player with the ball is extremely prone to making mistakes in this situation.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuan Meng and Skudri attacked from both sides, forcefully taking the ball away from Wozniacki's feet.

it's time!

Yuan Meng gave Kopac a look, signaling him to follow up, and then dribbled the ball towards the wing.

With his ribs exposed, Skudri immediately rushed forward to provide cover.

An excellent opportunity to switch!

Yuan Meng charged forward at top speed.

However, the opposing left-back and defensive midfielder also followed Dortmund U19's example and used a closing-off tactic.

Yuan Meng made a quick decision and started spinning in place.

The opponent was startled, but also took their position, and Yuan Meng lost her path to break through.

It's alright!

Yuan Meng only turned 360 degrees, and before she knew it, the ball under her feet suddenly shot out!

"Can he still pass the ball while he's spinning?"

"That move wasn't in the video!"

Neither of the defenders reacted for a moment.

The ball passed between the two players and came to Scudri's feet.

Scudri turned to check his teammates' positions, and Kopac and Gabriel successfully drew the defender's attention, giving him ample space to pass the ball.

He steadied himself and adjusted the ball to the right place.

A cross from a 45-degree angle!

Bomb the restricted area!

"Great news!"

Larsen leaps and heads the ball towards the goal!

Unfortunately, he was a bit short, and when the ball flew over his head, it was cleared out of the penalty area by the jumping Bielefeld center-back.

Seize the second point!

Scudri is, after all, an attacking full-back; his footwork is good, and his passes are powerful.

The opponent's header clearance flew directly to the left side of the penalty arc, where left winger Brut had already taken over!

After controlling the ball, Brutter feigned a run down the wing, and as the full-back rushed out of the penalty area to cover, he suddenly flicked the ball with his left foot and then with his right, adjusting it to his right side.

He looked up and suddenly saw a figure rushing in from his right side, rapidly approaching the restricted area.

His eyes lit up, and he delivered a cross with his right foot!

The football transforms into a cruise missile, bypassing the defender's head and spinning powerfully from the top of the arc inwards.

"It's overshooting!"

"That was such a tricky pass!"

"Follow up later!"

Yuan Meng kept her eyes glued to the ball, rushed into the penalty area, and headed it high!

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Van Persie has possessed me!"

"Yuan heads the ball in, extending the lead!"

"Brut's pass was beautiful."

"The goalkeeper didn't have time to get back to the far corner."

"This kind of teamwork is what makes football beautiful!"

"Dortmund U19, leading 2-0!"

Yuan Meng took the lead, rushing towards the corner flag area and sliding to her knees in celebration.

Brut, Larsen, and the others followed and pinned Yuan Meng down.

Whispers could be heard from the stands.

"Damn it, I want to pin Yuan down too."

"Damn it, I envy Yuan. I also want to be pinned down by Larsen."

People around them quietly moved away from the two talking fans, silently cursing them as "perverts."

"cautious?"

"I played cautiously when the system wasn't around; now that the system is here, do I still have to play cautiously?"

"Then wouldn't the system have been a complete waste of time?"

Yuan Meng raised his arm, pointed to the stands, and roared, "Brothers, Coach Tuchel is watching the game! We need to score another one!"

"Yes! Let's get one in!"
