These young players from La Masia also began their most adept passing and control mode.
Soon, the time came to the twenty-first minute.
For Team B, the task of dribbling was still handled by the attacking midfielder Munir.
Bang bang... After a series of feints, he quickly pushed forward with the ball.
He pressed from near the halfway line to about twenty yards in front of Team A's penalty area.
He once again encountered the same problem as before!
The double defensive midfielders' relentless pursuit and interception made Team A's defense impenetrable.
Munir hesitated.
Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng dropped back a distance from the offside line.
He timely provided support to Munir.
At the same time, he also attracted one of the defensive midfielders to mark him.
The South Korea youngster who had delivered the long pass to Kubo Takefusa earlier.
He was now sticking to Ye Lingfeng like a plaster!
However, his height, just over one meter seventy.
In front of Ye Lingfeng, who was nearly one meter eighty-five.
He seemed to struggle a bit!
"Munir! Here! Pass it!"
On the wing.
Winger Ilyas shouted as he sprinted.
Signaling Munir to pass the ball to the wing!
"Don't hold onto the ball! Transfer it quickly!!"
On the field, youth academy coach Garcia also reminded Munir.
But Munir remained impassive.
He lightly flicked the ball, first shaking off the Team A defensive midfielder in front of him!
With Ye Lingfeng helping him draw fire.
He seemed much more composed in a one-on-one situation!
Immediately after, Munir observed briefly.
He ignored Ilyas's call for the ball.
His right instep tensed.
He poked the ball straight forward!
This was a through pass forward!
Staring at the impending landing spot of the football.
Ye Lingfeng understood perfectly!
Using his height advantage, he forcefully leaned on the South Korea youngster.
A half-turn, then a sudden acceleration!
He slipped past the plaster-like defender beside him!
The height difference made this off-ball escape seem less difficult!
[Speed: 81!]
Speed was Ye Lingfeng's only attribute above 80!
A speed of 81, perhaps only considered above average in La Liga, which is full of stars.
But among youth academy players, it was already outstanding enough!
This was also his most proficient way of dribbling at the moment!
Outpacing defenders with pure speed!
"Asiba..."
In almost one encounter, the South Korea youngster was left at least two body lengths behind!
He could only watch Ye Lingfeng's back disappear into the dust!
And Ye Lingfeng continued to accelerate.
He caught up to the ball one step outside the penalty area.
In front of him were two center-backs inside the box!
On the flank, there was also a full-back coming over to defend!
Three players surrounded him!
Ye Lingfeng did not slow down!
He dribbled directly into the penalty area!
"Ye! Here! Pass it quickly!!"
On the wing, Ilyas, who had been running all along.
Once again shouted loudly for the ball.
The full-back marking him had been drawn away by Ye Lingfeng.
He was unmarked!
As long as Ye Lingfeng threaded the ball through the gap between the center-back and the full-back.
And timed it well.
He could receive it without pressure!
Then pass it back in a cut-back.
Or choose to cut inside and shoot!
This was a fleeting opportunity.
However.
His call for the ball was ignored again!
Ye Lingfeng faced the two center-backs pressing up in the penalty area.
And took another step with the ball forward!
Suddenly, he made a leg-swinging motion!
"Damn it!!"
Ilyas cursed.
He didn't understand!
In such a position.
The shooting space was almost squeezed to its limit!
And there was hardly any suitable shooting angle!
A forced shot, even if it hit the target.
Would either hit the center-back.
Or be easily caught by the goalkeeper!
What the hell was he doing?
"Asian players, indeed unreliable!!"
And the other Team B players.
At this moment, also held their heads in frustration.
They seemed to have already foreseen the scene where Ye Lingfeng's shot would be mercilessly blocked!
Kluivert on the sidelines also frowned deeply... Clearly, this was not a reasonable shooting choice!
The acceleration and escape were beautiful.
But the final shooting decision was still too eager for success!
But actually.
Ye Lingfeng was not a greedy forward
