Vol 3 Chapter 22: A wave (on)

With the end of the final match of the group stage, the 10th Finnish World Juniors entered the knockout stage. China's primary school Group D status, against Group C second Portugal. The Spanish team second in Group D will face the first Brazilian team in Group C. The first Colombia in Group A played against Costa Rica in Group B and the second Mexico in Group A played against Argentina in Group B.
In addition to China's underdogs, two other teams in Asia: South Korea and Yemen have been eliminated.
In the world football landscape, there is no major change except for this top small team of Chinese football, which was deeply influenced by Wang Ai.
What shocked Wang Ai was that the opponent of Nigeria in the last National Junior Finals did not qualify in Group B, which seemed incredible to a strong Nigerian team. Judging from the scores, they have the same points and goal difference as Costa Rica. Even the scores they played directly were tied. Unfortunately, Nigeria has one more yellow card, so it ranks third.
It has to be regrettable that the world of football is always so full of surprises.
On August 24, the Chinese primary school played against the Portuguese team in the quarterfinals.
Before the game, Wang Ai carefully read the Portuguese team's lineup. He didn't find Ronaldo's existence, so he took a sigh of relief. The trustee secretly inquired that Ronaldo was born in 1985 and is over-age. The last Portuguese state rarely had him. Unfortunately, it was eliminated in the European Civil War and did not go to Trinidad and Tobago.
It is not how much Ai Wang is afraid of Ronaldo, but Ronaldo represents the last peak of the Portuguese team. At the age of 34, he is still the absolute main force and core of the Portuguese team. In addition to his good personal skills and scientific life management, he is a sportsman. In addition to its long life, it actually shows the embarrassment of the Portuguese team after two peak periods represented by Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo: no successor.
Although it cannot be said that the Portuguese team has become second-rate, the decline in absolute strength cannot be ignored. Compared with Spain, which is at its peak, this year's Portuguese nation is less of a worry to Chinese nations. Judging from the group stage, this Portugal is a typical example of offense and defense. 4: 3 barely defeated the Asian rival Yemen, lost 0: 5 to Brazil, and tied Cameroon 5: 5.
The game scene is definitely good-looking, but the result is not so good.
Yemen was able to score three goals, averaging more than 4 goals in three group games, which made the Chinese team afraid they couldn't do it.
To this end, Liu Chunming took Wang Ai to talk to Xiao Zeng before the game. In terms of the strength of the Chinese team's frontcourt, there is no problem in attacking at least the Yemeni team. The key is the backcourt and the key is the goalkeeper.
Xiao Zeng vowed: I want to seal Portugal!
Before he finished speaking, he asked Wang Ai to kick him: You guy swelled!
The two brothers bet: Zero Seal did it, Xiao Zeng took something that was visible from Wang Ai. Zero Seal couldn't, Wang Ai took one of his belongings from childhood.
Liu Chunming pulled a bias and asked to change from zero to a ball. Wang Ai thought about it and agreed. Xiao Zeng turned his head and didn't hesitate.
At 18 pm on August 24th, the final match of 8 in 4 was played at the Latina Stadium, a simple stadium with only 3,000 seats. Because this was arranged before the game, as a result, the stadium was full of people half an hour before the start of the game.
The topic of China's youth is one. It is more critical that the Portuguese team go through several games. Finnish fans don't care if Portugal wins or loses. The key is to score more goals and look good.
There are many similarities in the tactics of the Portuguese team and the Spanish team, both of which focus on ground penetration and coordination. These two countries are next to each other on the Iberian Peninsula, and their cultural practices are relatively close. Even the language, in fact, It is also almost the difference between the dialects of neighboring provinces in China.
If the image is a metaphor, the Portuguese team is roughly equal to the "trumpet" of the Spanish team.
The Chinese youngster, who had just defeated Spain, faced the Portuguese team with confidence and started offensive football.
Before the game, Liu Chunming instructed him well: The Portuguese team has a strong attack force, and we may not be able to stop their offense, so we will use a more aggressive offensive to conduct a duel of the warriors: see who is in good shape and who is down first under!
As it happens, the Chinese Junior League is also considered by the outside world to be "offensively better than defending". The collision between these two teams is also expected to be a "offensive battle".
The Portuguese team thinks the same way, averaging 4 goals per game, has made Portugal lose hope on the back line, see who scores more!
So as soon as the opening, both frontcourt players broke out.
In the first minute of the game, the Portuguese team planned an attack. The winger Nani went to the bottom and passed to Cotto, who responded with a strong header. Xiao Zeng reluctantly held out the beam with his hands.
Xiao Zeng was also startled. He just bought the limited edition Adi jersey jersey, but the boss has been eager for a long time.
Xiao Zeng calmed down his emotions and threw the ball to the side teammate Tian Xu. Tian Xu took a bit to the side and pushed it to Li Chunyu along the sideline. Li Chunyu did not delay. The foot was passed to Wang Yongpei in the middle. Wang Yongpei drew the ball forward and confidently made a few dribbling moves to shake off the defensive player and passed it diagonally to forward Mao Jianqing in the penalty area.
Xiao Mao was greatly encouraged by the boss in the last game and after the match. When he came to the ball, he didn't care about the opponent's goalkeeper's position or the interference of the opponent's defensive players and hit the goal directly.
The football hit the opposing defender's leg and changed direction, refracting into the net.
The game just started less than two minutes and the score was rewritten.
After the goal, Mao Jianqing was extremely excited and almost howled at his teammates. This is not to say how wonderful the goal is, but he really felt his personal technical progress and increased confidence. He didn't dare to shoot this blind so often, he always adjusted it subconsciously. For the first time against Spain, he shot for the first time in the competition.
Scoring this goal shows that the boss's lesson is right!
As a striker, you can't hesitate to kick the ball, emphasizing the suddenness of the shot. If you do n’t adjust, the other party wo n’t have time to adjust. It ’s all up to God!
Mao Jianqing's goal kicked off the scoring frenzy of the Chinese youth. In the eleventh minute of the game, Mao Jianqing ran back on the left to meet Wang Ai, who was entangled by three Portuguese midfielders. After getting a pass from Wang Ai, he turned around and broke the ball. He even passed three defensive players in the penalty area. Created a single pole yourself.
At the last kick, although he was blocked by the Portuguese goalkeeper with his feet, he followed up and made a shot again.
In just 11 minutes of the opening, the Portuguese team was already 0: 2 behind, which indicates that this game is likely to turn into a side-by-side massacre.
