This time the World Youth Championship finals were held in the Netherlands, in the heart of Western Europe. There were also all kinds of quarrels and debates, and after a few days of debate, they calmed down slightly and were held under various complicated gazes. Due to China's unexpected elimination.
It went to Brazil and Argentina, causing lottery bettors to lose a lot of money, but it also unexpectedly heated up the final.
As FIFA, which has a close relationship with betting companies, naturally looks at this final, especially the Chinese team, with great enthusiasm and expectation.
FIFA is indeed about politics, but it is more about economics. Compared with European governments, this organization is actually a bit purer. Even visiting Yan Shiduo and Zhang Jilong were warmly received by Blatter.
In the training ground of Utrecht Club, the Chinese team in the eye of the storm is at peace. Lao Gao's straight back is like a barrier, blocking out all the storms that may disturb the players' mentality. Of course, the cold Lao Gao is not as good as the gentle Liu Chunming
He is usually so popular with the team members, but the closer the competition is and the more history is being created, the more he can subconsciously become the psychological support of the team members.
"Xiao Wang has taught you about "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Thirty-Six Stratagems", and even "Guiguzi". I also learned many things with you. I remember a saying that says, 'The war is impermanent.
, water has no permanent shape'."
In the last tactics class, Lao Gao stood in front of the conference table, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his eyes swept across the audience like two sharp swords: "So the tactics we are going to use in this game are also different from the past few games.
.Because the Nigeria team is a familiar opponent to us, even though we haven’t played against each other for four years. But I looked at the lineup and compared it with the games four years ago, and found that 70% of them were players from the last World Junior Championship.
Team members of the competition.”
"So!" Lao Gao raised his tone: "Are we going to play strictly like the past two games, or are we going to give full play to our advantages? Of course it is the latter! Although this is more risky, yes, I admit that it is right
Our team, and for me personally, is more risky. But we can get to where we are today, why not take risks all the way? Today I am your coach, so I will bear this responsibility. I only hope that one day in the future you will continue to grow.
, become the main force of the national team or retire and become a coach, you can dare to take risks at critical moments, dare to take responsibility, and work resolutely in the direction that is most beneficial to the overall interests of the team."
"Old Liu, can you say a few words?"
Liu Chunming burst into emotion, walked to Lao Gao and looked at the room full of young players: "For such an important game, the leaders are here, the local Chinese in the Netherlands and our own fans are also here. I believe there are still people in China who are here."
More people will pay attention to us and pay attention to us. To be honest, I am very excited. This is different from a few years ago when I led some of you to win the second world junior championship. Because you are stronger, so
This last game, I hope you can realize its importance. This is the last game for most of you to tear off the label of youth team. It is also your graduation ceremony. Don’t let down your efforts in the past few years.
.Think about the loneliness and sweat when you were practicing alone on those countless nights, think about you being unknown to others, working hard for your dream with a meager salary, thinking about you sitting on the sidelines as a substitute, looking at the main players with envy.
We sweat and win cheers. Today, you also have the opportunity to create history. Don’t let your youth down. Like me and the high coach, so what if we can still play football? We will never win as a team member.
World Youth Championship champion. Time has passed. At 11 o'clock tonight, no matter what the result was, it means that the final has passed and become history. You will feel regret or pain at that time, but you will also
We can only continue to look up. Director Gao and I had a lot of regrets in our youth, but as your coaches, we sincerely hope that you will have no regrets in your youth."
"Lao Feng? Can you say a few words?" Lao Gao, who was presiding over the meeting, looked at the team leader Feng Jianming.
Lao Feng smiled and waved his hand. He was not familiar with these team members, so he didn't say anything at all.
Lao Gao looked at Wang Ai and saw the rejection in Wang Ai's eyes, so he didn't say much. It wasn't until the team arrived at the locker room of the Utrecht Club's main stadium in the evening that Wang Ai expressed his speech: "I just said
I ask everyone to focus on the game and don’t think about anything. Everyone must understand that if the game really fails, the leaders of the Football Association have stated that they will stand up and take responsibility, and the coaching staff has also stated that they will take responsibility. Here I will give you a third insurance
, I will also stand up and take responsibility, so you don’t have to worry about any criticism from your superiors, coaches, teammates or even society, you just need to do your best to follow the arrangements and show your football talents."
Speaking of this, Wang Ai smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't want to take this kind of responsibility, but who gives me a big head? If I don't take it, people will blame me. So, my friends, enjoy having someone to cover you."
Be carefree and happy under the wind and rain."
At six o'clock in the evening, accompanied by a sudden noise, the players from China and Nigeria entered the field one after another. In the Nordic summer, the days are very long, so the faces of the spectators on the sidelines are still very clear, and the turf is less than ankle high.
The softness and hardness are moderate. When taking the photo, the head in yellow clothes was in the middle of the back row, with Wang Ai and Chen Tao on both sides, Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, and Guo Liang in the middle, and in the front row were Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Feng Xiaoting, Tan Wangsong, and Zhao
Ming.
Unlike their opponent, the Nigerian team, who had serious expressions when taking photos, the Chinese players had quite relaxed expressions.
A few minutes later, the two sides stood still on the court. Today, the Chinese team was dressed in white and the Nigerian team was dressed in green. The Chinese team played from left to right, and the Nigerian team won the right to kick off.
Wang Ai and Zhao Xuri stood near the center circle, Chen Tao, Hao Junmin, and Gao Lin stood on the nearby center line, Zhou Haibin covered behind Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting, and Tan Wangsong stood in front of the penalty area goal line in the back, and Zhao Minghe
Guo Liang stood on both sides of the middle of the half court.
The German referee blew the whistle, and the players from both sides took action at the same time. As Nigeria's two forwards passed each other, Chen Tao, Hao Junmin, and Gao Lin rushed forward across the half court, and the other two fullbacks did the same.
.The formations of both sides are in the process of rapid expansion.
Wang Ai suddenly stepped forward to grab the ball, and the opponent passed the ball back. Wang Ai continued to grab the ball, and the opponent made a cross pass. Zhao Xuri suddenly made a tackle, and the opponent made a mistake in passing the ball. Wang Ai's speed had gradually increased at this time, and he stepped forward to grab the ball with the opponent.
The players faced each other, pulled back the penalty kick with their toes, then turned around and passed the ball back to Zhou Haibin. Zhou Haibin's eyes were focused, and after a run-up, he kicked the ball straight to the left side of the Nigerian half.
