When the Chinese national youth set off a scoring spree in the group stage of this World Junior Championship, winning all three games and qualifying with their heads high, when the news spread back to the country, even if the Football Association and the media did not pay much attention to the national youth, they must show their talents at this time
Here comes the attitude! Although the national team's qualifying situation is excellent. After defeating Uzbekistan 2:0 in Wulihe, Shenyang on September 15, they are only two wins away from qualifying. But everyone knows the character of the national football team... What do you think?
Me? I just can’t play to tease you! The poor Chinese Football Association and Chinese fans have been teased by the national football team for decades!
Therefore, at this time, the domestic football association, the media and even the fans did not dare to cheer loudly for fear that the national football team would be "skinned" again, so I felt very pleased with the achievements of the national youth who were struggling alone on the other side of the world to create history. At least we can do it again this year.
There is always a consolation prize for being played by the national football team!
CCTV's Zhang Bin and Liu Jianhong were divided into different classes. After some discussion, the two decided to let the younger Liu Jianhong go to Central America to cover the national youth team's journey. Anyway, the next game of the World Cup is on September 27. Liu Jianhong
I'm rushing back now.
Of course, this refers to the situation when the Chinese national junior team lost to the Australian national junior team. But if the Chinese national junior team defeated Australia and directly entered the semi-finals, then... Liu Jianhong, why are you coming back? Even for the next game
It was only the fifth game that the national football team defeated the United Arab Emirates. There are still three games left. The earliest they can qualify is the match against Oman on October 7, and by that time the finals of the World Junior Championship have been played for a week.
Therefore, when Liu Jianhong came to the Junior High School in Port of Spain, he specifically found Wang Ai and told Wang Ai with sincerity: "Xiao Wang, on behalf of CCTV 5 and the "Football Night" program team, I hope you can go all out.
!How much I can get for my business trip subsidy depends entirely on your country’s junior high school!”
Domestic support comes from not only a vice chairman of the Football Association, but also a broadcast team of CCTV, especially the former. Why do you have the nerve to come when you know that the players can't listen to what you are saying? Because they came with gifts, euphemistically called: Motherland.
A gift of condolences to the people! Therefore, on the evening of September 20th, the National Youth Team had a very happy dinner.
Although the Football Association is always criticized, it is actually good to the national-level teams. At least it is very generous. Since the national youth competition has not yet ended, it is not easy to give money directly, but the gifts are suitable for both young and old. They are for food and drink.
, plus the special ones for young people, Wang Ai collected a big bag of them anyway!
In the early morning of September 23, the national junior team members woke up early. The match between China and Australia was scheduled for a cooler morning. It was very close to York Stadium from the hotel where the national junior team stayed. In this city with a total population of 1.2 million,
The population of Port of Spain, the capital of this small maritime country in America, is only 150,000, which is about the size of a county in China, or twice the size of Tübingen, Germany. In order to organize this World Junior Championships, the government of Trinidad and Tobago
A very strong mobilization was carried out, with at least two games every match day, and a total of 15,000 spectators at York Stadium and Manny Stadium, which is already one-tenth of the capital's population.
At 7:15 in the morning, local spectators, mainly Indians and blacks, came to York Stadium to watch the first game of the quarterfinals of this World Junior Championship, China vs. Australia!
The referee Jacobson from Iceland announced the start of the game on time, and the Chinese national team started the quarterfinals amid the cheers of 8,000 spectators who came to watch the game on Sunday.
Before the game, the Chinese national junior had a relatively high evaluation of Australia. After all, it was not easy to defeat Croatia 4:0. So after the game started, the Chinese national junior behaved more cautiously, but within five minutes, Wang Ai discovered that he might be against Australia.
Australia's strength is overestimated.
Australian players really want to work hard and attack China's backcourt frequently, but their foot skills are very rough, even compared to those in the United States, and their tactical discipline is not very good. Why can't Zhao Xuri focus on their frontcourt engine?
, their players began to frequently shake off their opponents and break through individually with the ball.
Wang Ai glanced at the coaching bench and found that Lao Gao had been standing on the sidelines for a while and then went back to sit. It seemed that Lao Gao had also noticed.
So, okay! Wang Ai, Chen Tao and others signaled: Practice the lineup! How to beat the American team, how to beat the Australian team!
The Chinese team's light attack tactics started again, with rapid and dense continuous passes, swift and sharp passes through the midfield, and then the frontcourt began to shoot! Without Wang Ai, even Chen Tao can freely crisscross the Australian defense line.
As long as he makes two fake moves, he will be able to trick the Australian defender into taking action.
Chen Tao took the lead in scoring in the 11th minute. Wang Ai patiently acted as a midfield ball handler and threat maker behind Chen Tao. Under Wang Ai's management, the national youngster's chances in the frontcourt increased sharply, and he successively scored in the first half.
In the 24th and 39th minutes, Cao Di scored two goals!
The Australian team noticed Wang Ai's threat. Unfortunately, Wang Ai always made accurate passes and did not give the opponent many opportunities. In desperation, the Australian team chose to closely mark Wang Ai.
Just when Wang Ai fell into the human fence, Yang Fusheng, Yin Liangyi, Bai He and other teammates stepped forward. Compared with Nigeria and France, their skills are indeed difficult to accurately assume the responsibility of overshooting the midfield and creating threatening ball distribution, but
Against the Australian team, it was easy.
After opening up multiple fronts in the midfield, Wang Ai's pressure was greatly reduced. The Chinese team's forwards, midfielders and even full-backs were taking advantage of the fast break opportunities created by the midfield to continuously shoot at the Australian goal. Finally, the first half was approaching.
At the end, full-back Guo Liang came with an assist and shot into the net amidst the chaos of grabbing a corner kick.
With the score of 4:0, the Chinese national youngster returned to the locker room happily.
Lao Gao's expression relaxed a lot and he stood in front of the tactical board: "We can take it back in the second half. Of course, if you are willing to continue shooting, I will not object to practicing tactics, but be careful not to get injured. After all, winning this game should not be a problem."
.Don’t forget, we still have semi-finals and even...finals!"
Speaking of this, Lao Gao finally couldn't help laughing, it was his first time coaching!
The national junior team members did not consume much physical energy in the first half. Australia's physical fitness is good, but their skills are too poor. Even Zhao Xuri, a diligent and strong man, can play with the Australian midfielder in small skills. It is also at this time that the national team
The young men suddenly discovered: It turns out that our technology is also quite good!
"Boss, please say a few words!" The teammates cheered.
Lao Gao smiled and gave up his position in front of the tactical board. The team leader stood aside with the same smile. The journey of the national youth team was also an extremely satisfying dream journey for him.
"Ahem, two sentences!" Wang Ai coughed deliberately and said unexpectedly: "I said you guys, shouldn't you treat me to dinner?"
"Why!" Chen Tao, who scored a goal in this game and ranked second in the World Junior Championship with Wang Ai in total goals, was in a good mood and answered smoothly.
