Seeing this goal, Rick Link, the head coach of the Chinese national junior team on the sidelines, was even more excited than Cao Jinghao who scored the goal. He almost stole Cao Jinghao's limelight by slipping and kneeling in front of the coaching bench of the national junior team.
At this time, Li Xin almost shouted: "Liu Ruofan shot, oh! It was blocked, Cao Jinghao, Cao Jinghao didn't stop the ball and shot directly, the ball went in, the ball went in! The national junior team took the lead, this was a sure win
!”
"At the critical moment, someone still stood up!" Dong Lu also shouted excitedly, "I just said, we need a confident person to end the attack, and we did it!"
"Yes." Li Xin nodded affirmatively, "Zeng Fansheng's pass, Liu Ruofan's shot, Cao Jinghao's goal, they all played very resolutely without any hesitation. Compared with this goal
Ball, the confidence of these boys is the reward for our arrogance!”
"I believe that when they win the game, this game will become a qualitative change point in their careers." Dong Lu also said excitedly, "An excellent player will keep playing in such a difficult game.
Practice, keep defeating your opponents and grow step by step."
After Cao Jinghao scored, he rushed directly to the corner flag. All the players from the national junior team also gathered around him. Liu Ruofan even jumped up high and hugged Cao Jinghao. His teammates created two unique shots for him.
He failed to seize the good opportunities. If he lost the ball because of this, it is conceivable that he would be mobbed by all the fans after the game. Fortunately, his teammates helped him complete his redemption.
At this time, the substitutes who were warming up outside the billboard also crossed the billboard one after another and gathered around to celebrate with their teammates. This goal at the last moment, the opponent's physical disadvantage, and the victory of the game was right in front of them.
!
Most of Nigeria's players walked on the field with dull eyes. It was obvious that their confidence in the game had been destroyed.
It wasn't until the head coach came to intervene that the Chinese national junior team stopped celebrating and returned to the center of the field to restart the game.
The goal conceded at this time made Nigeria's tactical intention of delaying the defense until overtime and dragging the game into a penalty shootout was completely shattered. As the captain on the field, Nwakari loudly encouraged his teammates after the kick-off: "
One ball, just one ball, we run, we still have time, we still have a chance."
After the kick-off, Nwakari mustered up his last strength and launched an attack on the Chinese team. The two substitutes in the frontcourt who were in good physical condition also started to charge with their captain.
After Nwakari escaped Zeng Prosperity's return defense in the middle, he passed another defensive midfielder Guo Tianyu, and then handed the ball to Okonkwo, who used his physical advantage to get rid of Shen Jun's
After pulling, he made the same action as Zeng Weng before - an inverted triangle pass to Nwakari at the top of the penalty area.
Facing Li Ming's attack from the penalty area, Nwakari moved the ball horizontally, moved away from an angle, and shot directly.
Li Xin saw Nwakari's series of passing, passing and shooting and shouted: "Defend well, defend well. It's about to enter stoppage time. Don't let him shoot easily, or kick it."
Shot."
As Li Xin muttered, Nwakari's shot went extremely far and flew into the stands.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Nwakari's supporting foot slipped when he was shooting, the ball was not pressed at all, and the shot turned into an anti-aircraft gun as expected.
"There is still something wrong with his physical fitness." Dong Lu also said fearfully, "But his ability is really strong. In the last stage of the game, the national junior team really couldn't do anything about him with the series of passing and organization.
"
"The counterattack before death is always the most dangerous." Li Xin also had an expression of "I respect my opponent and I respect the hero very much. But if the counterattack is unsuccessful, the story will come to an end."
After finishing the shot, Nwakari fell to the ground. His teammates rushed over to help him press his legs, and they pressed both legs together. It was obvious that his legs were cramped.
Nigeria's team doctor also rushed over to treat him, hoping to allow him to survive the final stoppage time. After all, he is the spiritual leader on the field. If he leaves the field, the stoppage time will be completely meaningless, and Nigeria's
The substitution quota has also been used up, and all the chips have been used.
Because Nigeria fought hard in the second half, the game was frequently interrupted and there were many fouls, the referee gave a lot of stoppage time - five minutes, and Nigeria still had a theoretical chance to score.
However, in these five minutes, the Chinese national team that got the ball did not give the opponent any chance at all. In addition, when Nigeria shoveled the ball of the national team out of the sideline, Rick Link tactically replaced Wang Xing.
Liu Ruofan was blocked, delaying a lot of time, and Nigeria did not even find a chance to shoot.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the players and coaches of the national junior team rushed into the field. After a difficult battle, the national junior team, as Rick Link said before the game, was ready again.
He created history once and for all and refreshed his own record.
Li Xin was also pleased to say: "The boys played a high-quality game. Their tactics, technology, and fighting spirit told all the fans that our Chinese team can defeat any opponent. In the next game, we will
Saw them in the finals."
"They have set a new record." Dong Lu sighed, "This should be the first time that the Chinese team has entered the finals in all FIFA's top competitions of all world levels and age groups. Now that we have reached this step, our goal
He is the champion! Come on guys!"
After the game, the performance of the national junior team was also praised by FIFA on the official website. They said that after African teams began to rise, Asian teams also showed their strength to the world. They were the dark horses before the game.
They are still moving forward and look forward to a better performance from them. Finally, they said that China, the country with the largest population in the world, has finally begun to exert its strength in football. This is a great victory for modern football.
The victory of this game also set off a wave of football fever in China. LeTV, which had previously obtained the rights to broadcast the game, almost smiled crookedly. Several companies that bought this season's advertising at low prices before the game also made a big move.
The most cost-effective deal.
As shown in the Longteng Club, countless funds are waiting for the stocks that are ready to be listed. These young players of the Longteng National Youth Team have become absolute high-quality stocks.
Also happy and ready to do somersaults are clubs with several other main players of the national junior team. It is said that they are preparing to gradually let these players who are under 18 years old play in the first team next season. As for these players
As for the ownership of the company, the open and secret fights behind it were raging, and everyone was about to go to court.
Also encouraged is the Longteng team, which is currently preparing for the game in Dubai. His little brothers have already made a name for themselves in the world. As senior brothers, how can they fall behind? Zhang Sheng also took advantage of the situation to encourage the players: "This morning, Nie Jiang and
Cao Jinghao proved that the players of our Longteng team are the top in the world. They have already reached the finals of the World Cup for their age group. So, tomorrow, we will at least prove that we are the top in Asia and we cannot lose to our juniors.
There are too many of them.”
Since the Longteng team came to Dubai, the attention of all Asian football people has been focused here. The news that the Chinese national junior team successfully advanced to the finals has stimulated the entire Asian football world.
The Japanese media even called the Chinese national youth team the pride of Asia. The performance of the Chinese team proved that in football, the world's number one sport, the yellow race is far from reaching its limit. Some Japanese fans even said that they have
China, the world's second economy and the country with the most population in the world, will sooner or later prove that, like the Olympics, yellow people can be the best in the world in football.
Reminiscent of the fact that after Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League final, the Longteng team once again stood in the AFC Champions League final. They also urged their domestic leagues to introduce good foreign players and reflected on whether the abandonment of high-level foreign players led to the poor quality of the league.
The decline has led to a decline in the level of the national team.
Some Japanese media even believe that after a few years of explosive purchases of Chinese Super League teams, the level of domestic football competition in China will be even higher, and sooner or later they will replace Japan as the number one player in Asia.
Of course, some people are talking about acidification. For example, some Korean media said that this time the Korean team was placed in a group of death, which consumed too much of their energy and exposed their strength, resulting in being criticized by the opponent after qualifying from the group.
He took it seriously and was eliminated, and said that if South Korea was also assigned to a better group, maybe it would be the South Korean team that would enter the World Junior Championship finals now.
Regarding the Koreans' "touching" logic, most Chinese fans said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, everything the Koreans say is right, even the punctuation marks are right, as long as they don't say that our country's youth
It’s fine as long as all the players on the team are of Korean descent.”
Zhang Sheng had no time to pay attention to these weird remarks at this time. Today, the Longteng team's opponent was Ahli. How to deal with this opponent from all aspects was what he needed to do most.
For example, at the pre-match press conference, Zhang Sheng also gave Ahli several top hats: "What impressed me most about this team was the performance in the semi-finals. I also watched this team's performance in the UAE League.
performance, they are a very well-organized team with very capable players and strong technical abilities. They are a team that has the strength to compete with us. Both teams in the semi-finals are very strong. I am not
When I have a particularly deep impression on someone, I look at the performance of the entire team."
"Yesterday I went to Al Ahli's training center. No club in the world has reached the level of Al Ahli. I have worked in Europe and I have not seen any club that has reached the conditions for their training and recovery. I hope
The boss of Al Ahli can invite us here for winter training." Zhang Sheng even lost the title of No. 1 in the world to his opponent, and had an attitude that you are better than us.
Anyway, there is no money to say these words. Zhang Sheng does it how he raises his opponents. The purpose is to create a more relaxed atmosphere for his players and paralyze the opponent's fighting spirit to the greatest extent. Regardless of whether it works or not, he always has to try.
Tried.
At 9:30 pm Beijing time and around 6:00 local time in Dubai, the Dragons club bus took the players to the Rashid Stadium. The players had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu at this stadium with a capacity of only 12,000 people.
I remember that when the Longteng team was still playing in the Chinese Premier League, the stadium they used was also a small stadium like this. Of course, in terms of hardware conditions, the Rashid Stadium is much better than the Wuchang District Stadium.
When all the players arrived, everyone changed their clothes and went to the field to warm up. Judging from the situation on the scene, although it was said before the game that the visiting team could only have more than 900 tickets, the number of people seemed to be more than 900 from the naked eye.
In addition to the away stands being packed, there are also many Chinese fans in many places that are not away stands.
As the Dragons players came on the field to warm up one by one, these Chinese fans all applauded. Especially when Pato came out, the applause and cheers reached their peak.
Judging from the warm-up of the players on the field, the players of the Longteng team are very relaxed, especially the circle of players who are walking around in the warm-up. Everyone is smiling, and the football is like having eyes, constantly surrounding the circle.
A circle of Dragons players rolled around, and the intensity and angle of the passes were just right. The players in the circle were teased to run around, until the circle became smaller and smaller, and the distance between the players became shorter and shorter.
, the player who was being walked suddenly accelerated and grabbed the ball from one of the players outside the circle.
As the home team, Al Ahli staff in Dubai, who have always sent people to observe the Longteng team, also kept reporting to the above on the Longteng team's warm-up situation on the field. Among them, the Longteng team's continuous passes and receptions by multiple people within a short distance
Cooperation became the focus of his reporting.
However, the Longteng team doesn't care about this. All the opponents have already understood the team's basic tactical style as long as they have some snacks. But understanding is understanding. How many teams can crack such tactics?
As the originator of this tactic, Barcelona is known to fans all over the world. However, whether Barcelona should win or win, it is useless to understand.
How should the Longteng team warm up? This kind of confidence is emboldened by the strong strength of the team.
Half an hour before the start of the game, the players had finished warming up and returned to the locker room. Zhang Sheng was sitting a little bored at this time and did not talk much. As the team leader, Yu Jie kept talking.
Take out drinking water, bananas and other things for players to replenish energy from the bag.
While Yu Jie was placing things, he was also looking at Zhang Sheng. When he saw Zhang Sheng sitting a little silently, he also leaned over after placing things and asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Yu Jie's question also attracted Lao Xing, the team's deputy team leader, who comforted him: "Director Zhang may be relaxing. I'm very nervous now."
"It's okay, I'm just nervous!" Zhang Sheng said with a grin, "Old Xing, you are nervous, why can't I be nervous? I can't let you be nervous alone."
Hearing Zhang Sheng's teasing, Yu Jie and Lao Xing both laughed, and then a thought suddenly came to everyone's mind: "We have finally reached this point in the AFC Champions League finals.
