Although Sun Yi made a big mistake at the beginning, Wang Ai's joking punishment made it pass easily. But the arrival of Yan Zhu made Sun Yi realize the seriousness of his mistake. He had been a scout for several years.
, I have also heard a lot about the special forces, and no matter how I look at this "Xiao Yan", he looks like a guy from there. Although the two have not yet competed, and although no one has told him the details of this person.
Abu Dhabi is a tropical seaport city. Even though it is already September, the highest temperature in a day can still reach 40 degrees Celsius, which is no different from summer. Fortunately, the national junior receives good treatment, and the hotel he is settled in is very close to the training ground, which makes it convenient in the morning and evening.
Train when the weather is cool. Besides, children are not bad at resisting hot weather.
After Wang Ai returned to the team, he quickly entered training mode and conducted several days of final tactical drills with his national junior teammates.
On September 6, the national junior team faced India, the first opponent in the group stage. Wang Ai watched the whole game from the sidelines and did not play for a minute because the Indian team was really weak. This nation has always been uncomfortable with such fierce competitions.
Not very interested, the characteristics of this nation can be seen from the non-resistance movement.
At the end of the game, the National Youth League easily won 6:0, which was the result that Coach Liu deliberately controlled. Wang Yongpo scored a hat trick, and Zeng Cheng defended the opponent's one-on-one goal.
What makes Liu Chunming and Wang Ai happy is that the team has a strong desire to attack and is well organized. Wang Ai still has the intention to joke with Liu Chunming, saying that we are so good, it doesn't matter whether I come or not, can I prepare in advance?
Asian Games?
Liu Chunming quickly stopped him. He was the champion last time, and this time he can’t just qualify for the World Junior Championships.
Three days later, the national junior team faced the only opponent in the group stage, the UAE national junior team, which was also the host of this competition. Speaking of which, our national junior team was also unlucky, always meeting the host. The 84 national junior qualifiers were in the same group as the host South Korea.
, defeated the opponent, and was in a group with the host Vietnam in the final stage, and finally defeated the opponent. It was the turn of the 86 countries. In the qualifiers, they had a deadlock with the host North Korea team, and in the final stage they were divided with the United Arab Emirates.
In this game, Wang Ai wore full equipment and was ready. Who knows if the boat will capsize? Fortunately, the final game was won 2:0, with Mao Jianqing and Hao Junmin each scoring one.
But after the game, the performance of the UAE national team was criticized by their media. It is understandable that we cannot beat the Chinese team, but how come we are not even able to force the opponent's World Cup Silver Boot to play?
When Wang Ai heard this from a translator the next day, he realized that local fans in the United Arab Emirates also have their own fans. In fact, it’s not just the United Arab Emirates. Don’t look at the Chinese team in West Asia, but they can face the strength of European and American football.
, Wang Ai can be regarded as one of his own, the most famous young star and the hope of Asian football.
On September 12, Wang Ai took the initiative to challenge the last opponent in the group, the Myanmar team. Before the game, Liu Chunming shook hands with the coach of the Myanmar team and showed compassion for the opponent.
As a result, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Wang Ai scored five goals in one game, and the Chinese national junior team defeated the Myanmar national junior team 8:0. But just like this, the Myanmar players did not show any discouragement. Instead, they rushed to draw the score after the game.
Wang Ai exchanged jerseys. As an underdog in Asia, the role of running back is tailor-made. It would be strange to qualify. Being able to show up in the international arena is success.
"How was it, did you enjoy it?" Liu Chunming asked with a smile on the bus back to the hotel after the game.
"It's okay. I'm trying to find a feeling. After all, I haven't played much games for more than half a month."
"Boss, I haven't opened the business yet." Gao Lin, who was in the back seat, leaned his head over and said.
"It's okay. Don't forget to bring your sneakers next time. I'll give you an assist."
"Thank you, boss!" Gao Lin was overjoyed and sat back happily. Who doesn't know that the boss has good footwork and his assists are particularly comfortable? He had two assists in the World Cup, let alone the Asian Youth Championship.
"Do you want to scare people by entering so much?" Liu Chunming said.
"Isn't that true?" Wang Ai sighed: "My tasks for this year's competition are so heavy and there are so many. If we don't scare the opponent and everyone fights with us, then I will definitely not be able to handle it. Your finals have been over for a few days.
I used to go to the Asian Games, and within a few days of the Asian Games... there was also the Bundesliga 2. In short, if I score a few more goals to dispel their illusions of taking advantage, the next few games will be easier."
Sure enough, four days later, the qualified Chinese team easily won the quarterfinals against Qatar. Qatar didn't even have any fighting spirit because Wang Ai didn't play at all. So what if they desperately took the lead? This World Cup
The Silver Boots couldn't deal with it at all. The national team also gave the opponent some face, with a score of 3:1, and they won the game safely but not too much.
On September 20, the Chinese team met Yemen in the semi-finals. This is another strong team in West Asia. When watching the video of their game before the game, Wang Ai felt that some of the players in the Yemeni team seemed to be overage. Maybe they were from West Asia.
Old, after all, the game is not easy.
At the Zayed Stadium, young players from both sides were fighting fiercely. It was the 40th minute of the first half, and the scoreboard showed a 1:1 draw between the two sides. Wang Ai watched the game with his shoulders held on the sidelines with a serious expression. The Yemeni team
He is not weak in organization, coordination, coordination, and personal skills, and his physical confrontation ability is not bad either.
In the second half, Wang Ai came on as a substitute. The first pass he received as soon as he came on the field, he took advantage of the horizontal dribbling at the top of the penalty area and violently volleyed the ball.
Wang Ai clearly heard the lament in the hearts of the Yemeni players.
"You are already a World Cup Silver Boot guy, how about bullying us?"
And Wang Ai's answer was: "Okay, okay! It would be great if you were also a World Cup opponent!"
There are too few honors in Chinese football. Wang Ai doesn't mind getting more to supplement Chinese football. If the game can be won, who is willing to bullshit?
The next game was completely taken over by Wang Ai. Although he no longer shot, he frequently created scoring opportunities for his teammates. He and Hao Junmin played well on the wings. Although this teammate knew Wang Ai
Late in the game, they often exchange tactics because of their similar positions, so they often change positions after Wang Ai comes on the court. And his footwork and awareness are not bad either.
After the game, Gao Lin clamored to treat Wang Ai to dinner because he actually scored a hat trick, two of which were directly assisted by Wang Ai, and one was indirectly assisted by Hao Junmin.
It was supposed to be a strong dialogue, but the result was an easy win 4:1.
After the game, Liu Chunming received a special congratulatory call from Yan Shiduo. After defeating Yemen, they will meet South Korea in the final of the Asian Junior Championship. Regardless of the result of the game, the Chinese team has already obtained tickets for next year's World Junior Championship.
. This is one of the reasons why Wang Ai had to work hard in this match. It would be easier if he qualified, and he could save a lot of physical strength and energy.
