International Duty Part 2

The International break began, the Norwegian players made their way to Oslo, where they would begin their international camp. Their first game was against Spain, even though it was a friendly, that game would be an opportunity for the Norwegians to redeem themselves after their awful Euros display.

The players started to arrive at the Thon Hotel, the Instagram account manager recorded as the players walked through the doors and greeted each other. "Kiddooo" Elisabeth Terland greeted her U19 teammate Y/N. The players who were still at the lobby gathered around the new arrivals and greeted Y/N. "Welcome to the group Y/N" said Engen grabbing the winger into a hug. Y/N, surprised by Ingrid's touchiness remained rather stiff, "Th- Thanks" replied Y/N as she pat Engen on the back. Ingrid laughed "Aw you are a shy one huh" she mocked, making Y/N blush in the middle of the team huddle. Thankfully, Elisabeth noticed Y/N in a tight spot and discreetly saved her, she grabbed Y/N's hand and took her away "Let's goo we gotta go pick our rooms" she laughed

The team started their usual team building rituals and the first training session soon followed. The team was preparing their first friendly of the International break against Spain.

Sadly, Spain were having some trouble of their own. Some of their most important players had sent the Spanish Federation a letter demanding changes in their International camp. The whole situation escalated so much, that said players ended up being shunned from the National team, which meant that Norway would effectively play against a much weaker Spain.

This fact was forwarded by Hege Riise, the Norwegian National Team manager during their first team briefing "It might be a weaker Spanish squad, but we can't underestimate them" said the manager "We have to go out there and play our football. The new call ups will help refreshen our play". The manager soon introduced the new call ups and told them their roles in the International team "We are starting with a clean slate, I will line up my best XI based on our training sessions" announced the manager "If work hard, you will earn a spot in that XI" she added. The secondary manager soon added "C'mon girls, get to work and earn your spot here" as he pointed to the already set up drills.

Game day arrived, the team looked united and in the little time they had together, they had already developed automatisms and working partnerships all over the pitch. A Norway in it's rebuilding stage was about to play against a weakened Spain squad. This fact didn't make the match any less important. "Let's go out there and make Hege and our fans proud" declared the captain, Maren Mjelde.

The first half was pretty stale, 0-0 and it looked like nobody had the hunger for goals. In the changing room, Hege went off on the players "Where is the hunger? Do you even want to wear the shirt?" she asked angrily "You girls have 15 minutes to show me why you deserve a second call up" stated Hege as she left the room.

"Hege is right" stated Engen "We haven't looked like ourselves" she added. The captain soon chimed in "We know what we have to do" she started "Let's go out there" she continued "No fear, no more half assing the game" said Maren. Much to everyones surprise, Y/N joined the motivational speech "Let's do what we do best" said the winger "Play fast and score goals"

England getting knocked out of the u19 weuros by Spain I'm so serious when I say no England team should ever play Spain again

[peligrosapop]

Hasn’t been called to U19, which is where he should go next.

He got called up to play for them in the match/April international break I can’t remember when it was

you are right! I totally missed that 😅 but hasn’t been called since, eh? Hm! Hope he plays better with Chelsea and gets the call up soon, I enjoy him in the lower categories with Spain, plays well there.

Spain is simply the master nation of Europe in recent years.

[cookiepotofchaos]

So, the Spanish U-19s beat England 3-1 and Netherlands went through beating France 2-0, giving us a Netherlands vs Spain final on Saturday.

Their head-to-head form has been almost evenly matched, with 4 wins each and 3 draws, and Netherlands scoring 15 goals against Spain's 14. Should be a good final match for the youngsters.

More rambles below the cut

U19s England vs Spain

Spain's Marisa (Real Madrid) had a chance on goal in under 45 seconds, with the England defense doing just enough to push her into a bad angle.

I think this rattled England, because some panicky football under high pressure from Spain followed. After a spell of some nervy playing (and I do kinda wonder how much help the coaches yelling so much from the touchline is sometimes. I know some guidance is needed but there was a lot of shouting) England seemed to settle a bit.

Side Note: I did smile when the commentator described one unintentional but clumsy poor tackle as, "It was very much a forward's challenge, shall we say".

It's the phrasing I've been looking for to explain to sometimes that, "No, many of these challenges by forwards are not "bad" tackles in the sense of being ill-intended, malicious, or a loss of composure; many forwards just don't have great strengths or finesse when it comes to tackling 😅"

Anyway, England struggled to get through the midfield of Spain, but fared better on the wings, where Bose (Recently Chelsea, currently seems unattached), Watson (Sunderland), and Earl (Arsenal) all did some decent footwork to get round the midfield and defenders there. Earl wriggled out of trouble early on a lot and Bose made some very good runs up that wing. That said, they faced a lot of trouble from Real Madrid's Pau who was in a constant battle for possession and chasing each other down with Bose and Watson.

Due to the defensive backfoot England spent a lot of the game on, we also got to see more of the play from the defenders this game, and both Aspin (Chelsea) and Newell (Unattached? Dual Manchester United - West Brom last season) were heavily tested, having to make numerous clearances.

A nicely timed long-ball from the Spanish team was not cleared well, with Newell kicking it into Agote (Athletic Club), who then showed strong composure to take it past Cox (Chelsea) and score.

England had a few opportunities at the Spanish end, mostly from corners where Crystal Palace's Lexi Potter demonstrated some good deliveries on the corners, but none could be capitalised and the Spanish defense were always on the ready for a swift counter attack delivery up the pitch.

Just before half-time, Pau was the one to put the second goal for Spain in, where Aspin's block couldn't be cleared and Pau slotted it into goal. Aspin blocked with her torso, so there's not really a lot of direction you can do when getting your body in the way like that; it was quick reactions and well-placed shooting from Pau.

The second half saw Liverpool's Mia Enderby come on for Watson and she had an immediate impact, getting on the end of Agyemang's head-on to score within a minute of the half starting. It may have been her 1st touch, actually...

I've seen some talk about why Enderby, being one of the few U19s with WSL or Championship playtime and decent professional minutes under her belt, didn't start more often. I have to admit I don't know enough to comment on it, but thought it was interesting that one of the perhaps more experienced players didn't seem to have as much playtime as might be expected.

Enderby would later have a very close call for being offside made; she definitely had an impact on the game when she came on.

However, Spain remained the better side throughout the second half. The link up between Alguacil (Valencia) and Agote was a constant threat and Camara (Barcelona) was so alert and reactive in defense that England just couldn't get into any kind of forward attack, counter or otherwise.

Levante's Arques came on as a substitute for Spain and it was a really nice long shot that saw her score Spain's third goal and secured their win.

Spain definitely were the stronger side and resoundingly deserved the win. England's future players on the squad though are looking good, though, so I hope the various teams they are attached to in the domestic leagues given them the opportunities through loans or game time to develop.

U19s France vs Netherlands

Now this was a very different match, not least because I don't think it could be easily argued that Netherlands outplayed France in the same way that Spain outplayed England. I even think an argument could be made that France put in stronger performances in a number of places on the pitch. Their struggles, however, came from not being able to put the ball in the back of the net, even if they could do everything right to get there. And France hit the goalkeeper, the woodwork, and defenders a-plenty, but the back of the net remained elusive.

In the England vs Spain game, England had 4 attempts on goal, 1 on target to Spain's 15 attempts with 6 on target. In this game, Netherlands had 5 attempts, 4 on target to France's 21 attempts with 7 on target. Which I think gives an idea of the different types of games played.

The game overall was a lot less frantic and nervy than the other game, with both France and Netherlands having strong possession and decent passing when they did have the ball. Swierot (Lyon) played some lovely through-balls into the forwards which troubled the Netherlands defense in the opening fifteen minutes but it was the Netherlands who scored, very much against the run of play, off of a free-kick in the 19th minute. Unmarked at the back-post, Woons (AZ Alkmaar) timed her run well and put the shot away.

France continued to look like they were going to score any minute even after that goal, but despite shots hitting the posts and defenders, they couldn't best the Netherlands defense.

What really was a strength for Netherlands was their defense were strong to regroup and they played some spectacular long-ball plays. Their long-ball counter attacks caught France out on more than one occasion and they really were timed so well. That strategy was the biggest strength of their play.

The second ball came from one such play. It went from goalkeeper Van der Vliet (Unsure, UEFA says Ajax but she isn't on their official squad page?) to the head of midfielder Van Hensbergen (Ajax) when she flicked in onto Tolhoek (also Ajax!) who was left with just France's keeper to beat. And, one on one with a striker, there often isn't a lot a goalkeeper can do. 2-0 to Netherlands.

That was a perfect example of just how well-timed the Netherlands played their long-balls. While they didn't manage a 3rd goal in the second half and, indeed, the second half was largely France battering the Netherlands defense, they did have opportunities for counter attacks and many of them involved that same well-placed long-ball play. I wonder how Spain will respond to it on Saturday.

France's substitutions, Traoré (PSG) was a great addition to the game. My word, did she work hard on that right wing: clever runs, well-placed crosses, zipping in between players. Absolutely put a spark in the game and yet France still could not get that ball into the net. PSG must be watching her gameplay with interest though. Swierot also put in a solid second half, constantly finding ways to get the ball forward or win back possession.

And Van der Vliet, Netherland's goalkeeper, kept a very cool head during all this. For all France's strengths getting the ball forward, the Netherland's back four of Woons, de Klonia (Ajax), Kardinaal (Ajax - so much Ajax in this team), and Chibani (Jong PSV), plus Van der Vliet, did not seem to panic or get overly nervy. There were a few moments, of course; they're only young and nerves are unavoidable to some degree, but they put in a solid performance.

So, Spain vs Netherlands next. Let's see how that goes!
