It took 6 hours to get to Jincheng by high-speed rail.
Jincheng had only held the World Youth Championship a few years ago, and the stadiums and athletes' villages were all ready. That night, Liu Muqiao and the others moved in.
Su Yajuan met the sports team of her alma mater in the athletes' village, but she still lived with the female athletes of the Qingjiang University team.
The next day, the football team was drawn into groups.
According to the random inspection results, Coach Chen’s face was pale.
The death group and death zone were drawn.
There are 4 teams in the group, and there are two strong teams. One is the Shanghai University team. Last time, they were ranked 3rd, and this time they are the seeded team.
Another strong team is the Huashi City University team, which is very strong. Although they only finished 8th last time, this year they have three Evergrande youth team players on the team, who will soon become professional players.
Industry insiders speculate that they may be the biggest dark horse this year.
They are in the top half.
If you enter the top 16 in the top half, you will most likely face the 2nd place player from the previous year when you reach the top 8 in the group stage. If you advance to the top 4, you may have to play against the 1st place player from the previous year.
Liu Muqiao looked at the grouping and smiled slightly, "Coach Chen, let's not think about anything else. Let's finish the group stage first. I noticed that except for the Huashi City University team, which is a bit more difficult to crack, the Shanghai University team is not necessarily
It’s difficult, they don’t have any members of the National Youth Team.”
Coach Chen said: "You are wrong, that man named Chang Yun is the defender of the National Youth Team. It is said that this man is very good at flying tackles and is a fierce tiger. This man can also play forward, so he should not be underestimated."

Tonight, the team’s first opponent is the Shanghai University team.
In the afternoon, the players all had a good rest for a few hours. They had dinner at 6 o'clock and entered the court at 7 o'clock. They changed their clothes and warmed up on the court.
Su Yajuan sat next to Coach Chen. She was temporarily assigned a position: team doctor.
There was originally a team doctor who was an associate professor of orthopedics at the affiliated hospital.
Liu Muqiao, as the captain on the field, organized a small confrontation practice.
"You all remember, we don't seek a big victory. Winning one goal is also three points, and winning ten goals is three points. We must keep our strength in the knockout rounds and not get injured."
What Liu Muqiao is most worried about is the injuries to his players. There are only 15 players in total, and every injury means one is missing.
His information was that the Shanghai University team played the most wild game, and the flying tackle named Chang Yun rarely failed to hurt someone.
He is also a very controversial figure in the National Youth Team.
Someone who is controversial but is retained shows one problem. He is an irreplaceable figure for the team.
Skilled and fierce, such an opponent is really scary.
What Liu Muqiao said to the players soon reached the ears of the Shanghai University team. They were warming up in the other half. When Liu Muqiao said this, they laughed until they shed tears.
Qingjiang University team, who doesn’t know that they are the bottom team?
Their best time was 8th place, and other times they knelt down in the first round.
In this grouping, the Shanghai University team is the seed player.
The Shanghai University team is preparing to compete with the Hua Shi City team for first place in the group this time. In this way, when 16 advance to 8, they can avoid the second place of the previous session.
How could they take the Qingjiang University team seriously?
Here at Qingjiang University, their goal is to get a few more goal differences.
University teams cannot compete with national teams. University teams often have very disparate results. A record of 10-0 or 20-0 is possible.
In order to compete with the Huashi City University team for first place, the goal of the Huashi University team tonight is to get more goal difference.
They must win by at least 5 goals.
In the past, the Qingjiang University team had a record of 0-8.
After hearing Liu Muqiao's words, the captain of the Shanghai University team said to the players: "A five-goal difference is not enough. Students, how about we go 10-0?"
"Gotta! 10 to 0!"
The slogan of the Shanghai University team reached the ears of the Qingjiang team members.
The members of the Qingjiang University team all looked at Liu Miqiao.
"Don't pay attention to others, follow our rhythm. Chen Bin, Lu Liang, you can play the leading role tonight." Liu Muqiao said with a smile.
"I strive to score a goal." Chen Bin is No. 10. Before Liu Maqiao came to the team, he was the main forward.
"No. 9, Lu Liang, please move closer." Liu Miqiao said.
Liu Muqiao plans to use two forwards.
He is going to be a central defender himself.
Let No. 9 and No. 10 come forward.
Liu Muqiao's official jersey is No. 20.
While the tactics were being arranged, the captain of the Shanghai University team came over.
"Brother, I heard that you want to beat us?"
Liu Muqiao greeted him and said, "Who comes to compete but doesn't come to win?"
"Don't you look at your strength?"
"How strong we are, we naturally understand in our hearts."
"Do you know our strength?"
"How do you know if you don't compare?"
"Okay, let me tell you, we are prepared to beat you by 10 goals."
Liu Muqiao grinned, knowing that this was someone's way of motivating generals, and said, "Okay, I hope your dreams come true."
He is not in a hurry at all. His strength is here, what should he be afraid of?
Unexpectedly, when the captain of the other team saw that Liu Miqiao had not been angered, he glared angrily, provoking and irritating Liu Miqiao like a bull.
Liu Muqiao ignored him at all.
Throw the football up and kick it hard, and the ball will fly towards the opponent's goal like a cannonball.
This kick shocked everyone.
So powerful.
Coach Chen and Su Yajuan are here.
Separated the two team captains.
There were not many people in the stands, less than 1,000 people in total.
The game begins.
From the beginning, the Shanghai University team launched a fierce attack and played very vigorously. In less than a minute, they advanced to the goal of the Qingjiang University team.
Chang Yun is the forward today.
Sure enough, he was from the National Youth Team. He was very fast. He passed three players who blocked him and soon faced the goalkeeper.
Chang Yun raised his foot and the ball flew into the Qingjiang University team's goal.
1 to 0!
Isn’t this too fast?
Restart.
This time, the ball is at Liu Miqiao's feet.
He carried the ball more than 20 meters, and the opponent rushed to intercept. Liu Miqiao easily passed the ball to No. 10 Chen Bin, who broke through with the ball.
The ball was intercepted before it entered the effective shooting range.
Slowly, everyone began to adapt.
The players of the Qingjiang University team were not anxious when they saw Liu Muqiao, and they were not anxious either.
They all know that once Liu Muqiao shows off his power, the opponent's defenders will have no way to stop him.
This is what Liu Muqiao arranged before the game. Don't rush, don't win too much. Our team's strength is unbalanced and has many weaknesses. Therefore, we must conceal our strength during the group stage.
There are indeed strong teams. The top three in the last competition all had national youth players, and some had several more. If you expose your strength too early, it will be very difficult in the knockout rounds.
The Qingjiang University team looks mediocre.
The Shanghai University team doesn't want to take things slow with you. They attack one after another very frequently.
Chang Yun got the ball again and he advanced very quickly.
He quickly advanced to the penalty area, but the three defenders still didn't stop him.
2 to 0!
