"Hello, audience friends! Welcome to watch today's live broadcast of the match between the Indian National Youth Team and the New Zealand National Youth Team."
This game was not broadcast live on TV and could only be watched online. However, not many people watched it. After all, the Evolution Cup is a relatively niche event and most of the viewers were fans who follow the National Youth Team.
Not only that, there weren't actually that many spectators on site, but it was still a lot more than in previous warm-up matches.
Time passed very quickly, and before we knew it, the competition was getting closer and closer. At this time, the camera turned to Kevin Gomez.
"Oh! The camera gave us the best striker of the young generation of India!"
The commentator said jokingly that Neil had said before that Gomez was one of the best forwards of the younger generation, but the commentator deliberately did not say "one of" as a joke.
But deep down, the commentator was still very curious about Gomez. This national youth team was mainly composed of players born in 1995, but Gomez, who was born in 1997, was actually selected.
Although there is only a two-year age difference, there is still a huge difference between 17 and 19 in football, both physically and mentally.
"Okay! The referee blew the whistle, the game begins, and the New Zealand team will kick off first."
The New Zealand player kicked the ball off, and after a few passes the ball arrived at the striker's feet. However, as soon as he got the ball, he was quickly pressed by Anirudh Thapa, who forced him to pass the ball to the wing.
"The player wearing the No. 8 jersey is called Anirudh Thapa. He is from Chennaiyin FC's youth training system. This game is his debut for the national youth team. You can see that he is very excited today." The commentator introduced.
New Zealand continued to attack and soon overwhelmed the Indian team's penalty area. New Zealand midfielder Bill Boll saw a hole in the Indian team's defense and made a quick pass to forward Dibuhovic in the penalty area.
After Dibuhovic stopped the ball with his back to the goal, he wanted to turn around and try to kick the ball, but suddenly he heard a "whoosh" sound in front of his eyes, and a No. 8 jersey passed by him. When Dibuhovic reacted, he found that the football under his feet had disappeared.
"New Zealand midfielder Bill Boll controlled the ball and observed. Hey! It was passed into the penalty area. Dibuhovic got the ball. It's dangerous!" the commentator exclaimed.
"Beautiful! Fortunately, Thapa appeared in time to resolve the danger! Fortunately, he retreated far back, otherwise the ball would be really dangerous. I have to say that Thapa is a pretty good midfielder." The commentator commented.
After Thapa successfully intercepted the ball, he made a long pass to Danny Meitei on the left. After Meitei took the ball, he sprinted forward at high speed.
But he was soon defended by the opponent. Meitei did not get complacent and knew his own strengths and weaknesses, so he passed the ball to the midfield.
After receiving the ball, MD Arbash continued to pass the ball, trying to pull the New Zealand team's defense line forward, hoping to reduce the pressure on Gomez in the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Yohaan Benjamin on the right.
Fans who know Benjamin should know that Benjamin has good passing skills, but the defender of the New Zealand team quickly defended it.
Facing the opponent's defense, Benjamin could only make a cross with difficulty. Benjamin's cross had great power, but the quality was relatively poor at this time.
The football hit the opponent's defender Taiyi, causing it to change direction. It passed the goalkeeper and hit the far post hard.
The football bounced towards the opponent's defender Brown, but the speed of the ball was too fast and Brown had no time to react. It flew past the side. Brown turned around and tried to chase the ball.
But when he turned around, he found the football rolling towards Stevens outside the penalty area. Brown breathed a sigh of relief and stopped chasing the ball.
"Wow! What a pity! The football hit the post!" The commentator said regretfully.
The commentator knew that the attack of the Indian National Youth Team should be over. Not only the commentator, but also the fans at the scene and even in front of the computers thought that the attack of the Indian National Youth Team was over.
But suddenly a figure chased after the football, and it was obvious that this figure would catch the football first.
"Wait! Who is this?" The commentator also saw this person.
"This is... Anirudh Thapa!" the commentator explained excitedly.
The opponent's defender Brown also saw Thapa, and Brown hurried towards the football, hoping to clear it before Thapa.
However, because the football was rolling towards Thapa, he came to the football first, but Brown had also arrived, and the two were about to collide.
Suddenly, Thapa stretched out his right foot and stepped on the football, then pulled the football towards his left foot with his right foot, and at the same time his body began to turn.
Then he stepped on the football with his left foot. At this time, Brown had arrived and he quickly pressed his body against Thapa.
However, Thapa just pulled the football towards the goal with his left foot, and then turned his body. The whole set of movements was smooth and he passed Brown in the blink of an eye.
After Thapa passed Brown, he took a step and shot directly. However, the opponent's goalkeeper Sale had to prevent Gomez's header, so he went to block Gomez on the other side.
So Thapa was facing an empty goal, and he shot directly with his right foot.
"Thapa appeared in front of the football! But... Oh my God! What happened? Marseille... shot directly! The ball went in!" The commentator couldn't keep up with Thapa's pace at all, and celebrated excitedly when he saw the ball go in.
"Oh my God! Did Thapa use the Marseille turn? He used the Marseille turn to pass the opponent and then shot directly! What a beautiful ball!" Commentator praised the goal excitedly.
"Wait a minute! Why is Thapa here?" The commentator suddenly stopped and asked a question.
"Didn't Thapa just steal the ball from Di Buhevic in his own penalty area? Why is he here?"
Following the commentator's words, the fans watching the live broadcast realized, yes! Wasn't Thapa just in his own penalty area?
Then the replay started playing. It turned out that Thapa had been running since he made the steal. This opportunity was created by Thapa with his own physical strength and speed.
"Wow!" the commentator exclaimed.
"Thapa is working so hard! he is there for the pressing in the midfield! he is there for the steals in his own penalty area! he is there for the attack in the opponent's penalty area! Thapa is everywhere!" The commentator praised Thapa.
"Thapa is so versatile! He can defend and attack!"
"The game had only been going on for 3 minutes and 59 seconds when the Indian National Youth Team scored a goal. The Indian National Youth Team is leading the New Zealand National Youth Team 1-0." The commentator announced the score.
