Section 74 King Fights the Holy Infant (Prologue: Warming Up)
"Dear viewers and fans, it is the early morning of the 20th Beijing time and 8:10 pm on the 19th Abu Dhabi time. In twenty minutes we will usher in the championship and runner-up competition for this World Youth Championship.
The third and fourth place finals were held between two South American teams, Argentina and Colombia. The Chinese team is the only Asian representative to enter the semi-finals, and is also the second Asian team to reach the finals in the history of the World Youth Championship. The Chinese team was ranked first four years ago.
In the 12th World Youth Championship, the Japanese team led by Junichi Inamoto and Shinji Ono reached the finals for the first time."
In front of the camera in the live broadcast room of CCTV Sports Channel, Huang Jianxiang explained passionately.
After the clip was played, Huang Jianxiang continued: "Coincidentally, the Japanese team's final opponent four years ago was also the Spanish team. Four years later, the Japanese team stopped in the quarterfinals, and the Chinese team became the new hope of Asian football. According to our future
According to the understanding of the live broadcast team, yesterday AFC Chairman Ben Harman went to the hotel where the Chinese team stayed to express condolences. So regarding the prospects of this game, we ask Zhang Luzhang to guide and predict?"
Zhang Luzheng, who had been sitting obediently on the side, was in a state of wandering. He trembled when he heard the sound. Fortunately, his mind did not wander. He had become accustomed to Huang Jianxiang's explanation rhythm after many years of partnering, so he slowly said: "I can't predict this game well.
There are really too many uncertain factors. Of the two teams, although I am Chinese and should be more familiar with the Chinese team, I am actually better able to predict the performance of the Spanish team. On the contrary, it is our Chinese team, which I can’t see.
clear."
Huang Jianxiang was delighted: "Director Zhang, what did you say?"
"Before the World Youth Championship, Xiao Wang was accidentally injured. At that time, I thought, if our national youth team can reach the knockout stage, it is a victory. After all, the most powerful players cannot appear on the stage, and almost all other players have no experience in international competitions. Oh, not only
My friends and I thought so when we discussed this issue. But everyone knows the situation of the game, so I can’t understand the Chinese team. On the contrary, the Spanish team has been performing steadily. Reporters from the front
Analyzing the situation of the transcripts sent back, the Spanish team has adjusted well and has a sense of rhythm. The group stage was tepid, the knockout rounds began to gradually heat up, and the current state is at its peak. If nothing else, let’s just say
The level of state adjustment in this major cup competition is more mature than ours."
"That may be because we have entered the world cup and every group match is played as a final, right?" Huang Jianxiang said with a smile.
"Hehe, no." Zhang Lu laughed a few times and added: "In short, the Chinese team's results have exceeded our expectations, so any result of this game is possible. Let's take a look at these young people.
What kind of performance will they use to complete their final battle?"
"Okay, now the roster has come out, and both sides have started to warm up. The Chinese team's roster..."
At the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the lights were bright, and the 12,000-seat single-layer stand was full of spectators. The two teams were preparing for halftime. Before the game, FIFA sent someone to hint through Zhang Jilong
Wang Ai, try to score goals, don't just get assists. These Baotou men in the Middle East are very rich and like football very much. More than half of these people came today because of Wang Ai's goals.
When Zhang Jilong conveyed the message, he told Wang Ai that the AFC actually meant the same thing. Youth competitions have been held for so many years, but they have always lost money. Forget about losing money, you can't make money by shouting. But a world-famous star has come to take advantage of this.
Opportunity to gain exposure. It is said that because of Wang Ai's arrival, even the price of game tickets has increased. Although this small amount of money is nothing to Baotou men, for Wang Ai, it is something that must be taken seriously.
Fans pay a high price to watch you play. If you don't respond enough, they won't come next time.
Therefore, Wang Ai had to adjust his preparations and change his focus from frontcourt control and assists to assists and goals.
Fortunately, after more than a month of repairs, the injury to his right calf can no longer be felt and has completely recovered. And this month of recuperation has also made Wang Ai's physical condition very good.
Everything is ready, all it needs is the whistle.
At 20:30 local time in Abu Dhabi, the last game of this World Youth Championship started on time.
Yang Hao guessed the side and guessed the left side of the main stand, with Spain on the right.
The Spanish team kicked off. Atletico Madrid's captain Torres and substitute Arizmendy formed Spain's striker. The Chinese team used the 361 method as usual: If you can't pass my midfield, I will press you to play; you pass
I'll play whatever you want in my midfield!
This is also the reason why Zhang Lu dare not declare victory or defeat. This formation is really too risky. Unlike 442, 433, 451 or other balanced offense and defense, there won’t be too many surprises. Mai Chao has led the team to this point and has already exceeded the quota.
The mission is completed, and the next home has been found, so I am ready to let myself go.
The opening performance of the two teams gearing up was surprising. Both sides hoarded heavy troops in their own half. The Chinese team's formation was a bit like 541. Spain's formation was not bad, but the four midfielders of 442 were basically stuck.
In our own half.
Both sides mean: Let the horses fight!
Mai Chao scratched his head on the sidelines. I didn't expect that Spain, which is so strong, would defend against us? Then he turned his attention to Wang Ai, who was running slowly in the frontcourt. Just as he guessed,
The Spanish team also has lingering fears about Wang Ai's attacking power.
Neither side is willing to press forward with troops, and both are betting on the other side to attack and then use their sharp frontcourt to break the opponent's defense. But if no one goes out, even Wang Ai will have a headache facing two players at all times.
Mai Chao thought for a while and simply returned to the coaching bench and sat down. I won’t go out anyway. If you can break our chain defense of five or six people with just three or two people, then I will admit defeat!
The weird atmosphere on the court passed after a few minutes. After all, the Spanish team is a strong team in the world. When they saw that the Chinese people could not be deceived by the retreating defense, they simply attacked. At this time, the fierce confrontation between the two sides officially began.
While Wang Ai breathed a sigh of relief, he also stepped up his search for opportunities. Han Peng changed his habit of squinting and wandered around the penalty area with wide eyes. But before Wang Ai could make any improvement, the Spanish team actually entered.
The ball is over.
In the seventh minute of the game, Iniesta passed the ball from the middle. Torres suddenly started to pass between Hualcon and Li Hongyang. He easily removed the ball and then moved his right foot to get rid of Hualcon's tackle.
, after widening the shooting angle, he quickly swung his calf and hit the far corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Zhang Si didn't react in time and watched helplessly as the Holy Infant attacked the city.
There was a roar in the Zayed Stadium, and the atmosphere became heated.
