Lin Yun only has 20 days of vacation because England U20 started training 20 days before the World Youth Championship.
"As the biggest star of this World Youth Championship, Lin Yun's every move has attracted strong attention from the outside world" - this is the rhetoric of some media, but in fact, a more accurate statement should be: because of Lin Yun's joining , this World Youth Championship has received unprecedented attention.
“The 19th FIFA U20 World Cup will kick off in Turkey on June 21, local time, and 24 teams from all continents will compete for the highest honor of this age group.
Despite the recent political instability in Turkey and the occurrence of large-scale conflicts and riots, FIFA still decided to hold the World Youth Championship in Turkey as scheduled.
It is worth mentioning that neither Brazil nor Argentina, the two South American giants that have always been rich in football talents, have qualified for the finals. This is the first time in history. Brazil is the last champion, and the Argentina U20 team is the best in the history of this event. The successful teams will be replaced by Chile and Uruguay, while Europe also lacks the German youth team that has performed well in recent years, which will also produce subtle changes in the championship situation of this World Youth Championship..."
The absence of Brazil, Argentina and Germany at the same time greatly reduced the attention of this World Youth Championship. Many people did not even have the desire to take a look at the relevant news until England U20 coach Peter Taylor announced that Lin Yun had accepted the call-up. Fans Their interest in the World Youth Championship suddenly increased.
Peter Taylor recruited a group of young English players who entered the U19 European Youth Championship held in Estonia last year. Most of these young players have begun to play for Europe's top leagues, such as Manchester United's Sam Johnston and Liverpool's Kang. Na Coady, Harry Kane of Tottenham, Ross Barkley of Everton, Eric Dier of Sporting Lisbon and so on.
Lin Yun actually came to report a full ten days later because compared to others, he played a few more Champions League games last season. When everyone had already started to go on vacation, he still had to work hard for the Champions League final, so it was awkward to report it later. Li's - in fact, it's just a big show.
Not only did a bunch of brats not dare to have any opinions, they also had to put on a warm welcome to welcome Lin Yun's arrival.
Lin Yun looked around and saw no one he recognized.
Listening to everyone's enthusiastic self-introduction, he tried very hard to remember their appearance and names, but soon found that everything was in vain and had to give up in the end.
"Forget it, he's not as handsome as me anyway..."
On the training ground, Peter Taylor put the captain's armband on Lin Yun himself, then patted him heavily on the shoulder, "I feel relieved when you are here."
Don't blame him for licking, anyone else would lick it.
What is the situation of England U20 in the World Youth Championship?
The best result was the third place in 1993, but it has fallen into a trough since then. It has now been five consecutive games without a win.
And these so-called "young players who have played for top league teams" are actually all reserve players of the club, or marginal players who have no chance to play at all and can only be rented out.
Suddenly here comes the savior (man) who has scored a total of 40+ goals in the Premier League, Champions League, and World Cup preliminaries in half a season. Do you want to lick him?
Lin Yun looked at the captain's armband and said hypocritically: "Isn't this not good?"
"This is the result of everyone's consensus after discussion," Peter Taylor touched his bald head, "No one is more suitable than you."
"Okay," Lin Yun said reluctantly, "I will adapt to this role as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system came out to revitalize again.
"The challenge mission has been released."
"Task name: King of Children."
"Task description: As captain, lead the England U20 youth team to win the 2013 World Youth Championship."
"Task difficulty: 5 stars."
"Task reward: Obtain the characteristic 'Spiritual Leader'."
"Penalty for failure: Loss of the only characteristic 'heartthrob'."
Lin Yun was shocked by the difficulty of this task.
Of course, this "fright" is not the kind of fright, but the kind of surprise.
Of course he didn't know that if he hadn't joined, this young team would have been eliminated from the group stage with zero wins in three games, and would be at least ten Torres away from the championship.
Anyway, the challenge at "Winner of Life" was the same task, and it was no worse than this one. Lin Yun took it without any hesitation.
In this way, this World Youth Championship must go all out to compete for the championship.
And in addition to winning the championship, he actually has a vision for this World Youth Championship, that is, he hopes to meet Haaland and Mbappe.
For this reason, he specifically asked Mendes to check on these two people.
Fortunately for Harland, he followed the old Harland's line and quickly found the little devil.
A 13-year-old furry kid...
Mbappe was a little harder to find, but in the photo provided by the system, the ugly boy was wearing a French team jersey, so even though he knew his name and nationality, Mendes, who was very resourceful, was able to find him.
More than 14 years old but not yet 15 years old, and not much older either.
Mendes was naturally curious about where he knew these two people and why he was interested in them, but Lin Yun put him off by saying, "I'll explain to you later."
After accepting the mission, Lin Yun turned around and faced his new teammates with Peter Taylor.
A group of little kids looked at him eagerly with their bright eyes. Even the former captain looked like a crazy fan who had met his idol, which made Lin Yun somewhat uncomfortable.
It has been 30 days since the end of the Champions League, and the major leagues have entered the offseason. Lin Yun's enthusiasm has finally cooled down, but for these young players, this peer is still the boss among the bosses, but in fact according to age If you do the math, he is actually the youngest of the group.
Well, the only minor to be parachuted from the senior national team...
Anyway, his experience is messy, and he is the only one among the 24 participating teams in the World Youth Championship. But his situation is basically well known, so everyone is not surprised and naturally accepts this new leader.
Of course, if he wanted to convince them, Lin Yun had to show his true skills - in fact, it was just a training match.
Peter Taylor introduced a young man to Lin Yun.
"Look at our No. 9, Harry Kane. If you like to play with two forwards, then he will be your partner. If you are more accustomed to being alone at the front, then poor Harry can only sit on the bench. By the way...by the way, do you want to wear No. 9?"
"No. 10 is pretty good," Lin Yun said. "The formation should be arranged by the coaching staff, or should we try both sets?"
"Okay, that's what I mean too."
Seeing the "approachable" Captain Lin, Peter Taylor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No. 10 has always been the absolute core of the England team. Although Owen and Rooney played the No. 9 forward position in the national team, they both wore No. 10 when they were at their peak.
So I tried a single forward lineup first.
Lin Yun brought 10 unknown friends against Kane and ten other unknown friends.
When the game started, Lin Yun kicked off first.
He passes the ball back and immediately goes forward.
His teammates naturally knew his characteristics. As soon as he approached the penalty area, the football flew over from far behind.
The two defenders immediately stood firmly in front of them as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lin Yun was afraid of kicking them, so he didn't force his way through the middle, but took a detour.
The two of them turned around hurriedly, even using their hands to barely touch his back.
The football fell, the volley was fired, and the whole place was silent.
Scoring goals is that simple.
The assistant coach was awakened by the whistle falling in his mouth, and quickly sucked it on again, making a "beep" sound.
Only then did the others wake up from a dream.
"Come in now?"
"...Suddenly it feels like it's not that difficult to become the assist king."
"Are you careless? It's not like we haven't practiced together with the adult team. There is a gap, but it's not that exaggerated."
"Heh, I've never trained with the Champions League Golden Boots..."
Peter Taylor clasped his hands behind his back, and the old god nodded, as if "everything should be like this".
No one knew that he was so excited that his hands behind his back were shaking a little.
Football is a game for eleven people?
Well, that should be it...
Speed, sense of smell, prediction of landing point, and shooting skills, he could only see these things.
Anyway, with such a general at hand, why worry about not succeeding in the great cause?
Kane on the other end was numb.
The moment he passed the ball in the opponent's midfield, he was naturally thinking, what would I do with the ball?
In his imagination, his actions were actually similar to Lin Yun.
Running, getting rid of defenders, catching the ball, shooting, everything goes as planned, but only when you are actually in that scene do you know how difficult it is to embody this textbook-like and precise process in your mind.
Something called inferiority suddenly emerged from nowhere in his body and instantly permeated Kane's body.
Lin Yun shook his head, not dissatisfied with himself, but with his opponent.
With this kind of strength, no wonder the difficulty of winning the championship is five stars.
This is a rhythm that allows you to fight 1 against 11.
"What are you thinking about?" Peter Taylor on the sidelines clapped his hands, "Keep going! The defender concentrates and plays like a real game!"
Both defenders were ready to vomit blood.
Brother, is this a problem with concentration? Our attention never left him for even a second, right?
The two brothers looked at each other helplessly and continued to be tortured.
After showing his strength, Lin Yun began to deliberately hold back his kicks and actively sought cooperation from his teammates. However, at the end of the half game, the score still became a bloody 5-1.
There is nothing you can do, you can't carry it, you can't run, you can't block it. What do you want the defender to do?
Fortunately, Peter Taylor made adjustments in the second half.
Put Lin Yun on the opposite side, and then find an unlucky guy from the opposite side and put him in Lin Yun's position just now.
At the end of the game, the score finally became 10-10.
The world is at peace.
