Chapter 142 Youth Champions League Enhanced Edition (please give me more praise)
In the 55th minute, Violante replaced Quaresma with the team's substitute right winger Luis Lorenco.
Although Quaresma failed to complete a hat trick, his two goals and one assist were enough to satisfy him.
He walked to the bench with applause from all the fans.
The Portuguese team made substitutions one after another, and the German team naturally knew that the opportunity to counterattack was coming.
In the 62nd minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger passed back to club teammate Hitzelsperger, who passed through.
German center Kuranyi scored with a blast.
Tied the score to 1 to 6.
It's like not pulling it.
In the 70th minute, as the German team's offense gradually improved, the confrontation between the two sides unknowingly intensified.
Deng Kai promptly reminded his teammates to retreat and not compete with the German team.
Avoid unknown injuries.
This ability to observe and control the field kept Violante nodding from the sidelines.
Bringing Deng Kai with him was definitely the most correct decision he made in this European Junior Championship.
Seventy-seven minutes.
Deng Kai suddenly made a grab in the backcourt and sent a precise long pass.
Meireles dribbled the ball down, created a corner kick and then took a corner kick.
Portuguese center back Fonte jumped high and scored with a header.
Seven to one!
The German was shot again.
The moment the ball was lost, almost all German players looked at Deng Kai.
Aren’t you going to stop attacking?
What happened to the sudden steal and long pass just now?
Playing dirty?
Facing the doubts from Ram and others, Deng Kai smiled and walked towards the sidelines.
Violante replaced Deng Kai with Igor.
Deng Kai had eight assists, occupying the top spot in the European Junior Championship assists list with an absolute advantage.
Eighty-six minutes.
Lahm dribbled the ball in from the right and assisted Bastian Schweinsteiger to score.
Two to seven.
This is also the final score of this game.
Germany U16 suffered an unprecedented defeat.
Portugal U16, a series of bloodbaths against strong teams, shocking the world in one battle!
…
After the game, the German U16 players refused to be interviewed.
But their head coach could not run away and was caught by reporters: "I don't understand. I have never seen football like this. This breaks my understanding of traditional football."
"Deng Kai is a phenomenal player, Cristiano Ronaldo's finishing ability is terrible, Quaresma cannot be restricted at all, Meireles is like a motor on the wing, Veloso is like an iron wall...
…”
"Every one of their players looked so strong, you couldn't tell whether the game made them look like this or whether it was because they were like that and the game was played like that."
On the court, the players of the Portuguese team are also being interviewed.
Ronaldo: "I was in good shape today. If I hadn't been substituted, I could have scored more goals. But I also know that I need to prepare for the final."
"Completing a hat trick is the happiest thing for me so far. It is a dream to achieve such a result for the first time playing for the National Youth Team."
"Today I felt that the opponent's goal was as wide as the sea. Of course, this was also inseparable from the wonderful pass Deng Kai sent me. We really have a tacit understanding... Yes, I am talking about that free kick. We
We had never done anything like this before, but at that moment, we all knew what to do, which is beyond words."
"I don't think there will be anyone else in the world who has the tacit understanding we have."
The reporters nodded one after another, and then asked: "Really? Can Hathaway and Deng Kai also do it?"
Ronaldo threw the microphone angrily and left.
When Quaresma was asked why he took the initiative to give up the free kick, he certainly would not reveal his superstition: "I know that Deng Kai has a good foot feel in this game, so I hope he can
Go try it.”
"I'm not someone who doesn't know how to share the ball. I'm very happy to cooperate with my teammates if they need it."
Reporter: "What about the free kick coordination between Deng Kai and Ronaldo?"
Quaresma: "This is so interesting. This is a tactical free kick that is very worthy of being remembered. If there is a chance, I hope I can participate in it next time."
Finally, Deng Kai, who had the most reporters around him, received superstar-level treatment.
He scored four assists and was awarded the best player of the game, beating Ronaldo, who had a hat trick.
Reporter: "You played an exaggerated masterpiece. The 5-0 score in the first half was crazy. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Deng Kai shook his head: "To be honest, we don't know how all this happened. I feel like I struggled a lot. Many times I was forced to be invisible."
"But my teammates are so good at seizing opportunities."
Reporter: "You are still so humble. What are your expectations for the finals?"
Deng Kai became a little more serious: "Since we have reached the finals, of course our goal is to win the championship."
The reporters were stunned.
The contrast between Deng Kai's before and after is too great.
It's equivalent to saying "no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," and at the same time, using actions to express, "more, more, more."
Reporter: "Have you done any research on this Spanish U16 team? They have maintained a record of unbeatable wins so far, including the group stage."
Deng Kai smiled and said: "Of course I am familiar with them. There are several players in this team that I know."
"In fact, this European Junior Championship surprised me because I can find some familiar people in each team. The four young talents from the Netherlands, the three outstanding players from Bayern, and Petr Cech from the Czech team."
"Without exception, they all lost to me."
"I looked at the Spanish team's lineup again. You said it was a coincidence, Torres and Gabi... I think God has already told everyone the answer."
Reporter: “Are you talking about the UEFA Youth League?”
Deng Kai said: "Yes. I have to admit that the level of the UEFA Youth League is much higher than people initially expected. The stars who shined in the UEFA Youth League also undoubtedly performed well in this European Youth Championship."
"Teams with them as the core or main force have also achieved good results and reached the knockout rounds, semi-finals and even the finals."
"So, as the youth Champions League champions, Ronaldo and I are confident of defeating Spain U16!"
Reporters who are biased towards Spain do not agree with this statement: "There is a difference between Spain and other teams. Teams such as the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic do have several U15 stars as their core."
"But the real core players of this Spanish U16 team are Barcelona's Iniesta, and many players from Barcelona's U16 and U17. They are far better than the Atletico Madrid U15 you have encountered before."
Deng Kai: "But in addition to me and Ronaldo, this Portugal U16 team also has Quaresma, Meireles, Fonte and other outstanding players at a higher level!"
Soon, Deng Kai’s interview made headlines.
But it wasn't because of how powerful his words were.
It's because... UEFA is very satisfied with Deng Kai's speech.
After the unprecedented success of the first U15 Youth Champions League, UEFA has received too many requests to continue this series of events.
There are more sponsors than they imagined.
And Deng Kai's speech once again explained the gold content of the Youth Champions League.
The main players in the UEFA Youth League are also the most outstanding players in the European Youth Championship.
This relationship is just like the Champions League and the European Cup.
Excellent players in the Champions League are destined to become leaders in the European Cup.
However, UEFA has received some other opinions.
For example, some people think that the players in the U15 Youth Champions League are too young.
There are relatively few followers.
Moreover, even after players at this stage become famous, it is difficult to immediately connect with a professional team.
This greatly reduced the fans' enthusiasm for paying attention to them.
What everyone hopes to see is that players who perform brilliantly in the UEFA Youth League can enter the wealthy clubs and enter the real mainstream in the next one or two years.
Let fans feel the charm of becoming famous with one goal up close and in a short period of time.
To this end, UEFA is discussing.
This year’s second Youth Champions League will most likely not be held at the U15 level.
Maybe U17 or U19.
After this intention was announced, the number of sponsors increased.
Because this can also expand the influence of the UEFA Youth League from the European Youth Championship to the European Youth Championship, an international event that attracts more public attention.
