Chapter 485: The British Team's Gloom, Clark Organization
"..."
"The Swiss U-17 team suddenly has three professional-level players~"
After reading the information, Jack Ferdinand leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and fell silent.
At this moment, he knew in his heart that the next game would be extremely difficult!
In other words, the Swiss U-17 team not only did not suffer a loss of strength due to the replacement of main player Alexander Amadeus, but became even stronger.
Their strength far exceeded the imagination of the British U-17 team.
More importantly, these materials also mention a number of junior high school students such as Akutsu, Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirō, and Tokugawa Kazuya. Their strength should not be underestimated, which poses an unprecedented challenge to the British U-17 team.
Of course, the reason they were able to see this information was ultimately because Brand intended for people to know.
To put it bluntly, it was just as Mifune Nyudo had said to Qin Onokieha - let the team members experience the situation of having their data collected by others in advance so that they can better prepare for future competitions.
Brand is well aware of the importance of data and intelligence in high-level competitions. He hopes that through this method, the players can adapt to being studied by opponents in advance and improve their ability to respond.
"What should we do next?"
At this time, Leo Wakefield, who was sitting by the window, said with a dejected look on his face.
“那可是实力大增的U-17世界杯Big4之一的瑞士U-17代表队啊！即便今年我们英国U-17代表队实力有了很大提升，可在当下U-17世界杯的新规下，我们完全占不到便宜。”
As he spoke, he showed an expression that looked like he wanted to give up, as if he had lost confidence in the game. He leaned back slightly, looking very depressed.
"Leo Wakefield!"
Jack Ferdinand opened his eyes coldly, staring at the other person calmly and majestically, and said in a deep voice, "I hope you won't let me hear such words again in the future!"
His voice was deep and powerful, he exuded unquestionable majesty, and his eyes revealed firmness and determination.
"Understood! Captain Ferdinand~"
Leo Wakefield sighed helplessly and replied.
In fact.
Not only him, but everyone else present also had similar worries and helplessness on their faces. A heavy atmosphere filled the entire conference room. Everyone was worried about the upcoming game and was also thinking about strategies to deal with it.
In the landscape of global tennis events, the U-17 World Cup is a major event.
Looking back, before the experimental reforms of the U-17 World Cup were implemented, the composition of the participating players was relatively simple, and they were all high school players.
The British U-17 team at that time would not have been too embarrassed.
However, the wheel of time rolls forward, and the tentative reforms of the International Tennis Federation and the U-17 World Cup, like a sudden wave of change, completely break the original pattern.
A key measure of this reform is to make it mandatory for junior high school players to participate in the competition.
This change is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the British U-17 team.
The team, which originally had a good working relationship, became less collaborative due to the addition of a large number of junior high school players.
In terms of tactical execution, it will take time for new members to understand and adapt to the tactical system.
This results in a significant reduction in the effectiveness of tactical execution during the game, making it difficult to achieve the expected goals.
This has invisibly greatly weakened the overall combat effectiveness of the British U-17 team.
In sharp contrast is the Swiss U-17 team.
They cleverly seized the opportunity of this reform. Not only were they not affected, but they took advantage of it to further enhance the team's strength.
As one side gained strength while the other lost, the situation of the British U-17 team became precarious, which was the beginning of their suffering.
In the upcoming tournament, if they are not careful, they may not even get a ticket to the U-17 World Cup finals. This harsh reality weighs heavily on the hearts of every player.
Inside the training base of the British U-17 national team, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive, as if the air had frozen.
Captain Jack Ferdinand sat at the long table in the training room, his brows furrowed and his expression serious, with a fierce ideological struggle going on in his heart.
After a long time, he slowly stood up, looked at each team member with a firm gaze, and spoke.
"I know what you are thinking. The situation we face is indeed difficult, but when have the brave men of England ever been deserters?"
"Also, I plan to contact the Clark Organization."
"After all, the home of this U-17 World Cup is in London, England, so we have a geographical advantage."
"Although it's not a very glorious thing to do, given the current situation, this is a move we have to make."
His voice was low and powerful, full of helplessness towards reality.
In fact, Jack Ferdinand was not willing to rely on such power from the bottom of his heart.
He is well aware of the risks and controversies involved, but the thought that if they fail to even qualify for the finals and are kicked out by the Swiss U-17 team will be an unprecedented heavy blow to the British U-17 team.
This was an unacceptable result for him and all the team members, so he had no choice but to make this difficult decision.
"what?!"
After hearing the captain's words, the British U-17 team players present widened their eyes instantly, with shock and disbelief written all over their faces.
They never expected that at this critical moment, the captain would make such a seemingly risky decision.
This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the originally depressing training room.
Speaking of the Clark Organization, it is notorious in the London tennis world.
This is a street tennis vandalism group centered in London, whose members are mostly players who have been expelled for committing violent acts in schools or formal tennis clubs.
These people freely display their talents on tennis courts in the streets and alleys, but their actions have brought a lot of chaos and trouble to the order of tennis in London.
