 The National Youth Team, led by coach Liu Chunming and other coaching staff, bid farewell to the Xianghe base and the grim-faced National Youth Team.

Wang Ai waved his sleeves and left a piece of homework.

On August 5, the national junior team played a warm-up match with Bayern's youth team in Munich, and ended up losing 2:4. Wang Ai played in the first half, shooting and passing before leaving the field. After all, the average age is young.

The opponent is two years old, so it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses. Selecting Bayern's youth for the national junior team is to put pressure on the national junior team on the spot.

On August 7, the national junior team visited Tübingen and played a warm-up match with Tübingen 01 led by Favre. They eventually won 3:0 and stayed in Tübingen for final adjustments.

Wang Ai also took advantage of the game break to meet with two veterans who are trying to integrate into the team: Qu Shengqing and Yao Xia, and reiterated Tubingen's team building principles, although both of them are quite eager to fight again and regain their strength.

meaning, but still acted very seriously when communicating with Wang Ai.

Wang Ai told them straightforwardly: Tübingen is the port for Chinese players to study abroad. They will not force any Chinese players to stay. Instead, they will create opportunities for them to travel from Tübingen to the whole of Germany and even Europe. But the premise is

They need to perform well enough.

Because only when Chinese players leave Tübingen can they face greater competitive pressure and develop better. At the same time, more importantly, only when they leave can the team make room for other Chinese players...

"Tübingen is not a nursing home, but the first step for Chinese players to go international."

This is the first time that Wang Ai has clearly explained the role of Tübingen youth to Chinese players. Of course, I believe the two veterans can understand the underlying meaning: Tübingen is to tap players from the Chinese league for Europeanization

After the training and shaping are completed, sell them quickly, and then continue to mine. It is equivalent to a training class for Chinese players, and you can spend money by selling them.

China’s version of “star black shop”.

On August 12, the Chinese national youth rushed to Helsinki, the capital of Finland, where he will spend the next twenty days.

The Chinese Football Association has contacted the hotel and training ground through the Chinese Embassy in Helsinki in advance, and the national youth can check in directly after coming out of the airport.

Two days later, the Chinese national youth team ushered in the 10th World Junior Championship, which was also the first teammate of the fourth group of the FIFA U-17 World Cup: the American national junior teammate.

Football in the United States has always been embarrassing. Because the United States has a strong commercial atmosphere, there are few goals in football, and frequent advertisements cannot be inserted. Therefore, in the end, football did not develop smoothly in the United States, even though there are many international big-name stars.

When I get older, I choose to go to the United States to make money, but that is just because the American teams have money, not because the sport is really developing well.

Therefore, as the largest and most powerful country in the Americas, American football has always been crushed by teams from other American countries in terms of football.

But one good thing about the American team is that they are usually very strong physically. This may be because they were eliminated from playing rugby a lot of the time. Their playing style is also relatively rough and brutal, and they are very dependent on physical fitness. But even if

It has not achieved results that match the country's strength, and the American team's level is not weak, at least better than the strongest in Asia.

Therefore, this war between China and the United States is also considered by many media to be an evenly matched battle.

But the result was beyond expectations. After the 90-minute game, the American teenagers left Lati Stadium in tears.

The scoreboard showed a score of 6:0 for the Chinese national team! They shaved off the American team.

In fact, this is nothing. Who has never lost by a big score? The key is to lose without temper. Even the Chinese national youth himself did not expect such a result.

And it’s not just Wang Ai, the European golden boy, who shines.

From the very beginning, the game entered a special situation. The American players who were rushing and fighting were frequently teased by the Chinese players. There was an astonishing gap in the personal skills of the two teams. The first goal was

Only three minutes into the game, after Wang Ai got a side ball from Wang Yongpo from the wing, he passed five levels and defeated six players, passing six players and even the goalkeeper in the end.

It’s like being in a deserted place!

Wang Ai's wonderful goal inspired the ambition of the friends. Facing the fierce American players, he no longer was timid, but boldly showed off his skills. He was usually pulled, pushed, and kicked by Wang Ai.

Only when the skills they had worked so hard to develop suddenly came out did they intuitively realize how huge their progress had been.

The role of a high-profile role model is that everyone's level is improved because of the presence of vision and pressure.

Especially Hao Junmin on the right side of the frontcourt, who was already talented, but under the pressure of Wang Ai, he gained a huge sense of urgency, so he improved the most rapidly. When Wang Ai took the ball, the American players were helpless.

, he also broke out on the right wing.

In the 12th minute of the first half, he almost copied Wang Ai's first goal. However, he stumbled in the second half because his physical fitness was not as strong as Wang Ai's. The final kick missed the target and was unfortunately missed by the opponent.

The goalkeeper saved the ball.

Even so, his confidence in holding the ball suddenly increased. As a result, throughout the first half, Wang Ai didn't have as much time on the ball as he did. He led the Chinese team's right wing soaring and made successive personal breakthroughs.

, or pass good balls to the center and forwards.

Fed by a large number of artillery shells, Mao Jianqing finally scored a goal in the 30th minute of the first half. In stoppage time, another forward Jiang Chen caught a through ball from Wang Yongpo and faced the opponent.

The central defender turned around and hit the ball into the net.

After the game came back from the halftime break, the American team still had not found a solution. Although the personal gap between the two players was not as big as it was in the first half due to the adjustments of the American coaching staff, it was still difficult for the three players on the Chinese team's frontline

Still helpless.

The Chinese team became more relaxed and confident as they played. In the 66th, 69th and 85th minutes of the game, Wang Yongpo, Jiang Chen and substitute midfielder Hao Qiang scored goals, thus widening the score to 6.

:0.

Although Liu Chunming made adjustments after the first goal in the second half and replaced Hao Junmin, Mao Jianqing and Wang Ai successively, Guo Shao's offensive was still not contained.

The youth team is like this, and it is particularly easy to hit the ball with the wind. Once the situation is advantageous, the good state of the players is very easy to be stimulated, showing a state of collective excitement, resulting in a huge disparity in the score.

"This is not the real strength gap between us and the American team." After the game, Liu Chunming said modestly with a smile on his face when being interviewed by domestic reporters.
