Chapter 36: Rising star duel, burst instantly!

In the semifinals of the World Junior Championships, the Chinese team came to the city of Morelia in the midwest of Mexico.
The semi-finals will be played at the Jose Maria Morelos I Pavon Stadium in the city.
The name of this stadium is so long because it uses the name of the leader of the Mexican War of Independence to commemorate the great national hero.
The weather was hot today, and the stadium was sprinkled with water before the game to cool down. When the two teams warmed up on the stadium, the attendance rate in the stands was not high. After all, the city has only 500,000 people, and the number of fans must be greatly reduced.
Tang Hong used various parts of his body to bump the ball around. Qin Rui suddenly came to his side, looking at a thin figure in the opposite half and wondering: "That's Sterling? Is he good?"
Tang Hong only glanced at it before retracting his gaze, and said casually: "One on one, none of us can guard him."
Qin Rui nodded clearly. When watching the news during the group stage, he knew Sterling was famous, but he saw it with his own eyes but didn't think the opponent was special.
There are too many unremarkable stars, and the Green Field does not hold a beauty pageant. The appearance and stature have nothing to do with their skills.
Before returning to the locker room, Tang Hong glanced at the England lineup. Apart from Sterling, the goalkeeper Pickford should be the most famous in the future. Although other players will certainly be effective in the Premier League in the future, at least Half of them must be Wandering Champions or even League One.
Anyway, England has not had a talented and terrifying player for many years. The one who was admired by the media before the age of 18, like Sterling, should be Rooney and Walcott. That seems to be a long time ago. Something up.
It is conceivable that Sterling's attention as the British Emperor is naturally high and scary.
But from the perspective of outside scouts' attention, Sterling is the kind of player who looks good but has no tracking value.
Because Sterling is now a Liverpool player, if he realizes his talent in the future, he will either stay in Liverpool or go to a better team than Liverpool!
If he can't fulfill his talent and is abandoned by Liverpool, opportunities for other clubs will come, but it also means that he is definitely not as good as previously expected!
Van der Hill’s pre-match training tried to decompress the players. He talked about the team’s progress and the players’ efforts after the expedition. The team’s efforts have been rewarded. I only hope that everyone will continue to maintain their state and go all out to play the next two games and leave. Mexico is satisfied if you ask for it without regrets.
When the starting players of the two teams entered the stadium, the players from England also paid more attention to Tang Hong. The British media is commonly known as Fleet Street. Their attention to the game is pervasive. Naturally, they have a thorough analysis of England’s opponents. Tang Hong is England’s preparation intelligence. The most mentioned Chinese team player.
The team will also launch a targeted defensive deployment to him.
In the last game to eliminate Brazil, Tang Hong scored twice and made him the strongest player in this year's World Junior Championships, and the opponent's key blockade is also reasonable.
The players of the two teams performed the kick-off ceremony before the game. There were only more than 16,000 spectators, and they did not seem very enthusiastic. They sat quietly in the stands waiting for the game to start.
"There are 4 games left in the World Junior Championships, two semi-finals, one third place match, and one final!
In this last fourth game, we will witness the Chinese team and England compete for the final ticket in the semifinals.
The two players with the most outstanding personal performances in this World Junior Championships are Tang Hong of the Chinese team and Sterling of the England team. Today, the two teams met in a narrow way. What I am most looking forward to is who will lead the ball between Tang Hong and Sterling. The team leads to the final!
The Chinese team's starting lineup today has changed compared to before. They adopted a 442 formation.
Goalkeeper: Zhang Yinuo.
Defenders: Zhao Hanchun, Liu Tao, Li Ang, Zhang Binyi.
Midfielder: Xie Pengfei, Luo Hongkai, Li Yuanyi, Liu Binbin.
Forwards: Qin Rui, Tang Hong.
The England team continued to play their traditional 442 formation.
Goalkeeper: Pickford.
Defenders: Cousins, McGlyry, Charlobach, Brad Smith.
Midfielders: Sterling, Lundstrom, Kaski, Creighton.
Forwards: Hope, Henshall.
On this sunny day, I believe that both teams will do their best to reach the World Junior Championship finals! "
The two teams were indeed fighting. When the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, the England team, which took the lead in the kick-off, quickly launched an offensive.
They fly with the traditional two wings, mainly because of their strong side attack!
Sterling quickly dribbled forward after receiving the pass from Lundstram from the wing. Liu Binbin assisted in defending the wing on the Chinese team's side. Sterling dribbled and paused for a step and then suddenly drove the ball to overtake from the outside. Complete the breakthrough.
It seems that Sterling is extraordinarily flexible, and is completely different from the strong and tough English players in the traditional impression of the public. Of course, England has also won many small players in the past ten years, Lennon, Walcott, Defoe Waiting for the players is like this.
Fast, flexible and agile, but in terms of dribbling skills, Sterling has shown an extraordinary level at his current age. This is what makes him different, even when he was taken to Germany at the age of 16. Walcott of the World Cup does not have the skillful dribbling of Sterling, even if the tiger Walcott is very fast.
Sterling did not try to break through Zhang Binyi before wading the ball to the bottom line of the wing. Instead, he passed the ball to the two centers in the middle of the penalty area.
Hope and Henschel don’t need so gorgeous foot skills. The physical confrontation is still their old line. Perhaps the semi-finals made them high-spirited, but they were a little too strong. Henschel went straight from behind when fighting for a header. Li Ang was pushed down with both hands. Although he then shook his head and sent the ball into the goal, the referee's whistle sounded and an offensive foul was determined.
Henschel dissatisfiedly expressed to the referee that Li Ang was too weak, not that he acted too much!
It would be inaccurate to simply define England's style of play as flying with two wings. Their fast-paced and high-intensity confrontation are their characteristics.
The Chinese team made a long pass from the backcourt. Qin Rui was defeated when fighting for the header from Chalobach in the middle of the frontcourt. He would not be crushed by the confrontation. However, his inferior position in the jump in the air would lead to physical imbalance and fall. It looks a little embarrassed.
When Luo Hongkai held the ball from the back of the center circle, Hope came back to grab the ball. He changed the direction of the ball but continued to be oppressed by the opponent's body. Luo Hongkai quickly knocked the ball back diagonally and Liu Binbin stepped forward and sent it straight out.
Tang Hong crossed from the wing to lead the ball, Lundstram rushed up to force, Tang Hong stopped sharply to pull the ball back to the wing to open the distance with Lundstram, and then hopped the ball to accelerate the forward game. band.
When full-back Cousins ​​intercepted frontally, Tang Hong slung the ball diagonally into the left side of the penalty area.
The football rolled behind the central defender McGerry, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Rui swiftly advance in the left rib of the penalty area to form a shot.
England's defensive system is still more afraid of ground pass and cut offensive, just like the previous game against Japan, even if Japan's overall confrontation is weaker than them, the Japanese team has twice penetrated the defense line, relying on pass and cut cooperation.
Although Chalobach returned to defense quickly, it was difficult to interfere with Qin Rui.
Qin Rui stopped the ball and dribbled forward to complete the adjustment, and then decisively kicked the shot!
The football went straight to the close corner of the goal, but Pickford took the lead, and when Qin Rui took a shot, he fell to the ground and touched the ball with one palm.
The football rolled off the bottom line after refracting.
Qin Rui was very unwilling, but he could only hold his breath. He turned his head and gave Tang Hong a thumbs up. It is difficult for the Chinese team to threaten the corner kick, because once the large forces press up, the England penalty area is likely to form a quick counterattack.
Then the offensive opportunity turned into a crisis.
Tang Hong took a corner kick, and Zhang Binyi came up to meet him. When many players from the England team rushed for the game, Zhang Binyi knocked the ball back to Tang Hong, who was in a non-offside position.
Cousins ​​immediately went to Tang Hong to kill, the latter flexibly picked the ball towards the bottom line and quickly started. After getting rid of Cousins, Tang Hong controlled the ball into the penalty area and faced the blocked McGerry. The ball returned to the inverted triangle, McGerry didn't doubt he was there, but the next second the whole person only felt the blood surge and burst into anger!
Tang Hong did dial the ball, but the ball rolled between McGree's legs. The speed of the ball was not fast. Tang Hong moved faster, rushing past McGree's side around the baseline and then back into the bounds!
Wear the crotch!
This time England's defense line was completely chaotic!
Lundstram and Chalobach went to Tang Hong to kill, the goalkeeper Pickford abandoned the door and went out to kill Tang Hong. The three-way encirclement made Tang Hong no longer have a shooting angle, but his deep eyes showed sharpness. color.
Between the sparks and flints, Tang Hong swung his right foot to make a shot.
Lundstram and Chalobach blocked at the same time, and the goalkeeper Pickford also lowered his weight and opened his arms to completely block his shooting angle.
But Tang Hong's right foot swayed half a circle quickly in front of the football, his right foot landed, and the outer instep turned the ball to the right side. The football jumped through the gap between Lundstram and Chalobach. Hong Ze kicked the ground and jumped through the gap forcibly!
However, both Lundstram and Chalobach's legs blocked Tang Hong's legs, and as a result, Tang Hong passed by with his upper body, and fell to the ground after his lower body was held back by his legs!
Kaski immediately cleared the ball, but at this time the referee's whistle sounded.
The eyes of the England generals were shocked and stared at the referee's finger at the penalty spot in the penalty area!
Penalty!
The scene burst instantly!
