47. From National Youth Team to National Team

"De La Cruz, who is responsible for taking penalty kicks, is the first penalty kicker of the Uruguay National Youth Team." Su Dong took advantage of the fact that the referee was still directing the players except De La Cruz and Guo Quanbo.

When everyone left the penalty area, he quickly introduced, "But his actual penalty kick success rate is very low. From the beginning of the South American Youth Championship to the present, De La Cruz has taken a total of six penalty kicks, three of which

The success rate of missed free throws is only 50%. In the last round of penalty shootout with Portugal, he missed the free throw."

"Judging from the way he has taken penalty kicks in the past, he is one of those who doesn't take the usual path. He especially likes spoon penalty kicks." Meng Hongtao has also made very good preparations.

"I think the National Youth Team should have a penalty shootout plan, and they must have known about De La Cruz." Su Dong could only take a chance.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the penalty kick, "Run-up, push shot. Oops, the ball went in." Su Dong looked regretful, "Guo Quanbo has actually judged the right direction, what a pity."

"The National Youth Team is now 0:1 behind. There is still time in the game. If we add stoppage time, we still have at least fifteen minutes. Now is not the time to give up." Meng Hongtao started to give to the National Youth Team and also to himself.

Cheer up.

After Madaloni scored the opponent's penalty kick, he immediately chose to make a substitution. Huang Zhengyu, who was passed by Joe Altais due to lack of physical fitness, was replaced by high center forward Guo Tianyu. The Chinese National Youth Team was preparing to play directly.

The high ball was lobbed into the penalty area.

Fabian Coito's response came quickly. The 1.90-meter-tall central defender Augustin Rogel replaced the 1.8-meter-tall central defender Matias Weiner to strengthen the height of the defense.

.

Uruguay's move indeed made the Chinese National Youth's high ball tactics come back in vain many times.

In the last few minutes of overtime, except for goalkeeper Guo Quanbo who stayed in his own half of the Chinese National Youth Team, everyone else on the Chinese National Youth Team passed the half.

All the weaknesses of the young players were exposed at this time. The more anxious they were, the less able they were to control their footwork. The more anxious they were, the more mistakes they made while busy. The National Youth Team had two consecutive cross balls, and they were unmarked.

The bottom line was passed directly without pressure!

"It's too urgent." Su Dong was so nervous that his mouth was dry, "You can try to pass the ball down the bottom. Uruguay recovered so well, there is a big gap on the wing. The threat of passing the ball down the bottom is far away.

Much higher than a straight forty-five-degree inclined crane."

However, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was still fixed at 1:0. The Uruguay National Youth Team relied on a controversial penalty to defeat the Chinese National Youth Team and gained entry to the 2017 South Korea World Youth Championship.

For the ticket to the final, the Chinese National Youth Team once again fell on the threshold of the final after four years.

As soon as the referee's whistle was blown, Zhu Chenjie burst into tears. He regretted and felt aggrieved about the penalty kick.

As the captain, Xiang Tiange has been selected for the national team, helped the Olympic team win medals in the Olympics, and also won the World Junior Championships. He has more and richer competition experience. At this time, he quickly came over to comfort Zhu Chenjie, although he himself was trying his best.

suppressing his sadness.

"Don't cry." Xiang Tiange patted Zhu Chenjie's head comfortingly, "You are not even 17 years old yet. You can definitely participate in the next World Youth Championship and regain your place by then."

Su Dong looked at Xiang Tiange on the court and said with emotion: "The boys are good. Although we lost, we still played into overtime against a team that was expected to win the championship before the game.

We lost on a penalty kick. Our young boys from the National Youth Team should be proud."

"Yes. At worst, we can come back next time." Meng Hongtao continued to encourage, "Like Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong, they are all players born after 2000, and they are one year younger than the next World Youth Championship's requirement of being born in 1999.

, and those who were selected for the National Youth Team, such as Shan Huanhuan, Guo Tianyu, and Liu Ruofan, were all born in 1999 and can definitely participate in the next one. It can be said that our team has a bright future."

Although they lost the game, after crying, the young men of the National Youth Team were still very sportsmanlike. They held hands and walked around the field to bow to the Chinese fans who had come to cheer for more than two hours.

The young men of the National Youth Team also received warm applause and enthusiastic cheers, "Come on, Team China!", "You are doing well!", and the fans did not hesitate to encourage them.

After watching the whole game, Zhang Sheng felt nothing but regret. After all, this national youth team can really be said to be the second team. It is really rare to achieve this result.

If it is a complete Chinese national youth team, then there will definitely be the main goalkeeper Huang Dawei in the backcourt, the two main central defenders Liming and Lu Yangyang, and Cao Jinghao in the midfield. Of course, the most powerful Nie Jiang will not be able to participate.

The most pity.

If Nie Jiang were in this team, with his ability, the offensive ability of the National Youth Championship would be very different. He gave up his opportunity to participate in the World Youth Championship, but concentrated on the national team competition. The sacrifice was not ordinary.

.

What Zhang Sheng doesn't know is that if the strength of the national youth team is based on the original strength, they will definitely be defeated in the World Youth Championship. Because of the system's "mutual progress" task, all the young players' potential and ability values ​​are very low.

It took great changes and the proper tactical arrangements of the coaching staff to get them to this point.

Without being able to play in the final, the Chinese National Youth Team's road to the World Youth Championship in Korea is not over yet. On June 11, the Chinese National Youth Team will have a match with the Italian National Youth Team, which was eliminated by the England National Youth Team and is known as the "loser."

"Final" third and fourth place finals.

Unable to enter the finals, the media lacked the hype gimmick of winning the World Youth Championship, and attention dropped sharply. Now the only thing everyone is still looking forward to is hoping that the National Youth Team can win the third place in the World Youth Championship. In 2013, they entered

After being eliminated in the semi-finals, the third and fourth place finals were lost to the Ghana National Youth Team 1:3, and they only finished fourth.

After tying the record of the National Youth Team, Madaloni, who hopes to leave at least a small mark in Chinese football, is very eager to win this game.

"Nine out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life." Madaloni's current situation confirms this old saying - Wu Wei, Zhu Chenjie, Zeng Fansheng and Zhang Yuning received yellow cards respectively in the last game. They will accumulate

Two yellow cards were suspended. It can be said that the central axis of the Chinese National Youth Team has been drained.

In fact, this is also a hidden danger left by the team's insufficient strength.

In addition to yellow card suspensions, consecutive overtime games, injuries, fatigue, and lack of physical fitness have also become the biggest obstacles for the national youth team in the third or fourth place finals.

In order to round up the starting lineup, Madaloni worked hard, and a large number of players who had not played before came on the bench.

Xiang Tiange moved in to replace the suspended Zhu Chenjie as the right center back, Peng Langjun moved over to play the right wing back, Gong Yuzhe, another young loan player of the Longteng team, played as the left winger, midfielder Wei Zhen started as the defensive midfielder to replace Wu Wei, Zeng Wengrong

Unable to play, the key midfielder position can only be replaced by Cao Yongjing from the dwarf. The forward line is easier to say. Wu Qingmin, who performed well in the last game, replaced Zhang Yuning. Huang Zichang also started, leaving Lin Liangming to sit.

On the bench.

It can be said that the entire team has undergone a major rotation.

Compared to Italy, which has lifted its yellow card ban, returned from injury, and returned its main players, from the very beginning, the Chinese National Youth Team lost half of this game.

Sure enough, in the first half, the Chinese National Youth Team made a low-level mistake in coordination in the penalty area, resulting in the team losing a goal. In the second half, the offense just picked up a little bit, and the Italian National Youth Team made an efficient and fast counterattack, and the National Youth Team conceded another goal.

.

Madaloni on the sidelines made all three substitutions in only fifteen minutes of the second half, but the gap in strength between the two teams left him unable to make a comeback.

In the 2017 World Youth Championship in South Korea, the Chinese National Youth Team completed all competitions and ended in fourth place.

The World Youth Championship is over, and fans' attention has returned to another more eye-catching competition - the top 12 of the World Preliminaries.

Different from the shortage of players in the World Youth League, although the Chinese adult national team also has injured players like Zheng Zhi, Wang Yongpo, and Wang Dalei, there are not many players who can replace them. Zheng Zhi is in trouble, and there are several

Those who play overseas can make up for it, not to mention that there are rising stars like Qi Ming in China. As for Wang Yongpo and Wang Dalei, they are positioned as substitutes, so their impact will be even smaller.

Seven rounds have been played in the top 12 of the World Preliminaries. Now, except for Qatar, which only has three points and has lost the qualification, other teams have the opportunity to directly qualify or play in the play-offs. In this way, mutual addition and subtraction

In the qualifying algorithm, the Syrian team that the Chinese team is about to face must win the next three games, and it also depends on the looks of the other two teams. But no matter what, defeating the Chinese team is their only choice. If they still

If you want to go out.

The Chinese team is currently in relatively good form, with 13 points, 4 points less than Iran, and the same score as South Korea. However, in terms of goal difference, the Chinese team's 6 points are much greater than the opponent's 2 points. Judging from the number of goals scored

, the Chinese team scored 10 goals, and the Korean team scored 9 goals, which seems to be about the same, but there is a big difference between the two teams in conceding goals.

The stability of the Chinese team's defensive line is still good. Except for the first round when Perrin led the team and conceded three goals, the other games kept clean sheets except for the away game against Iran, which conceded one goal.

The South Korean team conceded as many as 7 goals, which was very different from their previous solid defense. It was not without reason that the domestic media in South Korea scolded the Chinese Super League's foreign aid policy.

But, who cares?

Nowadays, there is a lot of social capital in China, and the overt and covert returns on investment in football are considerable. High wages are too attractive to players. South Korea’s domestic league cannot retain players. Who is to blame?

Under China and South Korea, the one that is slightly threatening is Uzbekistan with 9 points, but their next three opponents are Iran, China and South Korea. The first two games are away games. This is simply embarrassing them. I hope

Extremely slim.

If you have money, you can do whatever you want. This was also clearly reflected in the match between China and Syria.

The five-year 10 billion contract gives the Chinese Football Association enough money to handle various things. In addition to material and logistical support, the Football Association has also done a good job in terms of software and atmosphere.

In order to adapt to the venue, the Football Association made early visits and found that the grass species on the playing field is large-leaf grass. This kind of turf grass has large blades, high friction, and slow ball speed. It is a turf grass species that has been basically eliminated. After discovering this,

The Football Association's personnel reported the situation in a timely manner. With the help of local Chinese, the Football Association specially found a large-leaf grass turf field for training and adapted to the playing style in advance.

In terms of arrangements for fans, just like the National Youth Team a few days ago, the Football Association and the Dragons fan organization contacted the local Chinese and organized manpower to prepare to buy tickets and cheer.

However, because it is a third-party venue, the AFC did not pay much attention (considering the political impact). The Malaysian media did not do any reporting and publicity because it was not a domestic team match. The stadium management did not even post the game logo, and

There is no ticket sales service on site, all sales are online, and because it is a small website, it is neither famous nor promoted, and only a few people know about it.

In the end, after the fan group contacted the person in charge of the venue, they adopted a group purchase method and purchased more than a thousand tickets. Together with the local Chinese, they prepared to turn this game into a completely Chinese team's home stadium.

In the current era of information explosion, information about these national teams is displayed in front of fans bit by bit, and the popularity of the game has also increased with this information.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the statement made by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On June 12, the day before the game, at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, someone asked whether the upcoming meeting between Chinese leaders and FIFA presidents would discuss the possibility of hosting the World Cup in China.

, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave an optimistic answer.

China, which has always been extremely cautious at the diplomatic level, gave an optimistic reply, which was basically an affirmative statement.

This aroused the interest of fans across the country, and fans from all over the country began to look forward to having Yazi in their own city as their home stadium.

Even forums like China City Bar, which had never been interested in football, began to actively participate in the discussion.

"Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have the best hardware conditions and there are many teams in the Chinese Super League. They must be the main ones."

"It's pitiful. They are all first-tier cities. My little Shenzhen is drawing circles on the side and crying."

"I said you should go to those football cities. Dalian, Qingdao, and Tianjin have the best foundation. They are the first choice."

"We have a lot of fans in the central and western cities, and there are also many teams in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League One. Which one in Jiangcheng, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, or Guiyang won't fill your stadium."

"Why did I forget Changsha? Although we don't have a Chinese Super League team, we are a blessed place."

"Xi'an: Me too."

"You can't do that. The Yangtze River line in June is the rainy season. If we come to our northeast at this time, our four northeastern provinces can arrange the World Cup."

"What the hell are the Eastern Four Provinces?"

"You guys don't even know that Hainan is the fourth province in the Northeast? But let me tell you, the stadium should be arranged in Urumqi, Hohhot, and Lhasa. Otherwise, how can we reflect the vast land and resources of Greater China?"

The topic of hosting the World Cup gives those netizens on the Internet a reason to get excited.
