As the players left the court, Kaka and Banane exchanged jerseys and shook hands with each other.

Banane opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after holding it in for a long time, he didn't hold it in. It was so funny.

Kaka was actually the same, so she could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "It's a good job."

Banane said with relief: "So too."

Then they smiled awkwardly but politely and left each other.

...

Compared to the thrilling victory of Brazil in the last minute, Argentina's promotion journey has been much easier.

They defeated the aspiring French team 3-1 and won a ticket to the semi-finals.

It is worth mentioning that the French team has not won a World Youth Championship so far. Of course, they have only participated in two games in total.

Originally, the French youth team led by Hollier in the Malaysia World Youth Championship in 1997 was highly expected. At that time, the forward combination in their team was the current national team's forward Henry and Trezege. It can be said that the firepower was very strong, but who knew that he lost to Uruguay later on the penalty kick and did not even enter the semi-finals. This time, the French team led by Francis was also regarded as a favorite to win the championship. The rising star Cise, coupled with the midfielder Diyala who currently plays for Bayern Munich and the forward Marton of Lille, are all the best among the young generation, but who knew that such a powerful team was still killed by Argentina.

Of course, it is OK to say that it was killed by Saviola.

The top player in the 2001 World Youth Championship scored a hat trick in this game, which was the decisive factor in Argentina's victory. His hot feet scared Barcelona, ​​who had been hesitant before, quickly raised the price and placed an order. Bosio, who was still in love with Kaka a few days ago, also lost sight of it.

Saviola, who had eight goals in five games, also beat Kaka, who scored seven goals, and topped the scorer list.

In the other two games, Egypt defeated the Netherlands 2:1 and Paraguay defeated the Czech Republic 1:0.

Kaka expressed regret for the Netherlands' elimination.

Compared to Egypt, he actually wants to meet the Dutch team more, but unfortunately, Van Gaal, who is in a state of worry, is even worse after coming to the national youth team. As for why he only mentions Van Gaal, it is naturally because when a team has players like Robben, Hunteral, Van der Fate, Stekrenberg, Hetinga and others, he can still lose to Costa Rica and Egypt, and be tied by Ecuador, barely win over Ethiopia 3:2. All of this is of course the head coach's fault.

The four teams in the semi-finals are freshly released.

Brazil, Argentina, Egypt, Paraguay.

Unlike the Champions League, there is no need to draw lots in the knockout stage of the World Youth Championship. It adopts the World Cup system, which is the first in Group A and the second in Group B, and then the winner is one against the winner two.

According to this competition system, Argentina will meet Brazil, and only if both teams reach the finals are possible.

That is probably the script that all neutral fans want to see.

The semi-finals will start in three days, and the two games will be staggered, but there is only a few hours apart.

As usual, no training was arranged the day after defeating Ghana, but the exhausted players were not in the mood or experience to go out for a long time. They all stayed in the hotel, playing cards and playing games, and time passed quickly.

The next day, the team resumed training. I wonder if it was because I saw the miraculous effects of Kaka's various set pieces tactics used in the previous games, Kostonio specially asked the players to strengthen their drills in this area.

The free kick training plan that Kaka has formulated for himself is a winner for many families, so he specially asked Adriano for some violent free kicks.

Even though he had a cheat, he never stopped learning.

Whether it is Falcao and Cheney who have been together for a long time, or Robinho and Adriano who have been in contact for a short time, they can all be regarded as his teachers. Of course, Kaka has also seen something from getting along with these people.

For example, the oldest captain Cheney holds more about Kaka's consultations with his attitude of discussing each other, so the two can actually be said to be learning from each other and making progress together. When facing Kaka, the remaining three people mostly have a simple attitude of guidance.

It’s not that he is arrogant, but that he is a little complacent, that’s the kind of vague pride of “A person who is so fierce in Kaka wants to learn from me, it seems that I am really awesome”.

Therefore, personality determines destiny. For a person, the biggest factor that will affect him is the environment and thoughts. The environment is an external cause and often it is involuntary. However, in terms of thought, you do not even have the consciousness and desire to make a little progress, and it is almost inevitable that you will be eliminated by history.
