With the last game of the group stage over, the 10th Finland World Junior Championship has entered the knockout stage. The Chinese national junior team, the first in Group D, will face the Portuguese team, second in Group C. And Spain, second in Group D,
The team will face Brazil, the first team in Group C. Colombia, the first team in Group A, will face Costa Rica, the second team in Group B, and Mexico, the second team in Group A, will face Argentina, the first team in Group B.
In addition to China's junior national team qualifying, two other Asian teams: South Korea and Yemen, have been eliminated.
In the world football landscape, there have been no major changes except for the top small team of Chinese football, which was deeply influenced by Wang Ai.
What shocked Wang Ai was that the last national junior finals opponent, the Nigeria team, did not qualify in Group B. This seemed incredible to the powerful Nigeria team. Judging from the scores, they had the same points and the same goal difference as the Costa Rica team.
The scores of their direct matches were all draws. Unfortunately, Nigeria received one more yellow card than its opponent, so it was ranked third.
This has to be a pity, the world of football is always full of surprises.
On August 24, the Chinese national team faced the Portuguese team in the quarterfinals.
Before the game, Wang Ai carefully read the Portuguese team's lineup and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find Ronaldo. After asking someone to inquire secretly, he found out that Ronaldo was born in 1985 and is already overage. Previous Previous
He was a member of Portugal's junior national team, but unfortunately he was eliminated in the European Civil War and did not go to Trinidad and Tobago.
It’s not that Wang Ai is afraid of Ronaldo, but that Ronaldo represents the last peak of the Portuguese team. At the age of 34, he is still the absolute main force and core of the Portuguese team. In addition to his good personal skills and scientific life management, he is so athletic.
In addition to its long lifespan, it also shows the embarrassment of the Portuguese team after experiencing the two peak periods represented by Figo and Ronaldo: there is no successor.
Although it cannot be said that the Portuguese team has become second-rate, the decline in absolute strength cannot be ignored. Compared with Spain, which is at its peak, this Portuguese national team does not worry the Chinese national team very much. Judging from the situation in the group stage
Look, Portugal is a typical team that is stronger in offense than defense. It barely defeated its Asian rival Yemen 4:3, completely lost to Brazil 0:5, and drew with Cameroon 5:5.
The competition scene is definitely beautiful, but the result is not so beautiful.
Even Yemen can score three goals and concede more than four goals per game in the three group matches, which scares the Chinese team and they really can't do it.
For this reason, Liu Chunming took Wang Ai to talk to Xiao Zeng before the game. Considering the strength of the Chinese team's frontcourt, there is no problem at least surpassing the Yemeni team's offensive power. The key is the backcourt, and the key is the goalkeeper.
Xiao Zeng vowed: I will seal a clean sheet for Portugal!
Before he finished speaking, he asked Wang Ai to give him a kick: You are so swollen!
The brothers made a bet: if Ling Feng could do it, Xiao Zeng would take something valuable from Wang Ai; if Ling Feng couldn't do it, Wang Ai would take something from Xiao Zeng's belongings.
Liu Chunming stepped aside and asked for a goal instead of a clean sheet. Wang Ai thought for a while and agreed. Xiao Zeng's mind changed and he didn't hesitate.
At 18:00 on the afternoon of August 24th, the last match of 8-4 was played at the Latina Stadium, which is a simple stadium with only 3,000 seats. Because this was arranged before the game, as a result, the game started
In the first half hour, the stadium was full of people.
The topic of China's national youth is that the few games the Portuguese team has experienced have been goal-scoring battles. The key point is that Finnish fans don't care whether Portugal wins or loses. The key is that they score many goals and it's good to watch.
There are many similarities in the tactics of the Portuguese team and the Spanish team. They both pay attention to ground connection and coordination. These two countries are close to each other and are both on the Iberian Peninsula. Their cultural customs are also relatively close, even in terms of language. In fact,
It is almost the same as the difference between the dialects of neighboring provinces in China.
If we use a metaphor, the Portuguese team is roughly equal to the "trumpet" of the Spanish team.
The Chinese national team, which had just defeated the Spanish team, faced the Portuguese team and played offensive football from the beginning with full confidence.
Before the game, the coach Liu Chunming said it well: The Portuguese team has a very strong attack, and we may not be able to stop their attack, so we will use a more violent offensive to engage in a duel of warriors: who has the better physique, and who falls first.
Down!
It just so happens that China's national youth team is also considered by the outside world to be a team that is "stronger in offense than defense." The collision of these two teams is also expected by the outside world to be an "offensive battle."
The Portuguese team thinks so too, conceding an average of 4 goals per game, which has given Portugal no hope for the defense. Let's see who scores more goals!
Therefore, as soon as the game started, the frontcourt players on both sides broke out.
In the first minute of the game, the Portuguese team planned an attack. Winger Nani went down and passed the ball to Cotto who was connecting in the middle. Cotto made a powerful header, but Xiao Zeng reluctantly lifted the crossbar with both hands.
Xiao Zeng was also shocked. He just bought the Adidas limited edition anniversary jersey, and his boss has been jealous for a long time.
Xiao Zeng calmed down a little and threw the ball to his teammate Tian Xu on the wing. Tian Xu took it to the wing and passed it straight to Li Chunyu along the sideline. Li Chunyu didn't waste any time and faced the ball.
The foot was passed to Wang Yongpo in the middle. Wang Yongpo dribbled the ball forward, made a few dribbling moves with great confidence to shake off the defender, and passed the ball diagonally to forward Mao Jianqing in the penalty area.
Xiao Mao was inspired by his boss in the last game and after the game. When the ball came, he didn't care about the position of the opponent's goalkeeper or the interference of the opponent's defensive players, and hit the goal directly.
The football hits the opponent's defender's leg and changes direction, refracting into the net.
Less than two minutes into the game, the score changed.
After scoring the goal, Mao Jianqing was extremely excited, almost howling and pounced on his teammates. This is not to say that the goal was wonderful, but that he truly felt his personal technical progress and increase in confidence. Usually he would not play this kind of ball.
Anyone who dares to shoot so blindly will always make adjustments subconsciously. In the last game against Spain, it was the first time he used a reckless method to shoot in a competition.
Scoring this goal shows that the boss’s lesson is correct!
As a forward, you can't hesitate. You have to shoot the ball. The emphasis is on the suddenness of the shot. If you don't adjust, the opponent won't have time to adjust. Everything depends on God's will!
Mao Jianqing's goal started a scoring frenzy for China's national youth. In the 11th minute of the game, Mao Jianqing ran back from the left to meet Wang Ai, who was entangled by three Portuguese midfielders. After receiving a pass from Wang Ai, he turned around and broke through with the ball.
He passed three defensive players in a row and created a single shot in the penalty area.
When he finally took off the ball, although he was blocked by the Portuguese goalkeeper with his foot, he followed up and hit a follow-up shot again.
In just 11 minutes, the Portuguese team was already trailing 0:2, which indicated that this game was likely to become a one-sided massacre.
