After the game, Perran, who had been watching the game, also came to the door of the lounge of the Chinese Olympic team, he did not go in to interfere with the players' celebrations, but waited for the players to come out and shook hands with all the players of the national Olympic team one by one.

Subsequently, Perrin and the coach and players who walked at the end went to the parking lot from the stadium, and communicated while walking, Perrin said to Fu Bo: "After returning to the hotel, in addition to praising the players who performed well, I still hope that you can comfort the players who made mistakes in the game, today's opponent is very strong, even stronger than the French team, and they pay special attention to the Chinese team, such a game is very helpful for young players, the players should not be intimidated by mistakes, if you can learn from it, Lessons, that's the greatest exercise value. ”

Fu Bo also said: "I will, they are all a group of good young men." ”

After this game, many fans said on the Internet that this was the most up-and-down game in their history, and it was also the most exciting game, the national Olympic team was obviously out of the way, and many players were tired and couldn't walk after the game, but they were the best.

Even the People's Daily also commented on these games of the Toulon Cup, and the report said: "Defeat, reversal, and killing, this tragic word has been "inseparable" with this national Olympic team in the past two years. For this team that is responsible for the Rio Olympics, although they have many more opportunities to compete than the national teams of the non-Olympic age group, in line with the purpose of "training the team", many times they are faced with small fights, and the more they compare, the more they lose. The game experience is increasing, but the confidence of the players is also gradually eroding. Now, the team that was killed is judged to be two teams in the Toulon Cup, although it is impossible to simply compare them due to the nature of the game and the age of the opponents, but it is enough to show the progress of the national Olympic team in this regard. We hope that they will be able to bring more exciting games to the football fans in China. ”

After this game, the next day the Chinese team against Mexico looked a little uneventful, in fact, Mexico was very optimistic before coming to the Toulon Cup, their offensive and midfield combination is very strong, play gorgeous, score a lot of goals, the individual ability of the striker players is also very good; the team is dominated by players from Monterrey and Guadalaja in Mexico, and even some media call them the strongest in the group.

It's a pity that the players of this team are too lonely, often in the front court are a few striker players alone, resulting in the team's attack is scattered, in the previous three games, they lost 0-2 to Portugal and then 0-2 to France, the third game only drew 2-2 with the Chilean team, has completely missed the next game, so this game they played more relaxed.

The Chinese Olympic team also made a lot of personnel adjustments because of the consumption of yesterday's game, Zhu Xuhe, Wei Zhimin and Xiong Jian all sat on the bench, and only retained the central axis of Zou Weijia, Yao Tian and Du Zhenyu.

The unmotivated Mexican team and the physically weak Chinese Olympic team played the game to a lethargic one, and it was not until the second half that several substitutes went up that the game became exciting, and finally the Chinese Olympic team relied on a header from Zou Weijia to lock the score at 1:0.

The Chinese Olympic team completed all the group stage matches with an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 2 draws.

Now the situation of the Chinese team in Group A is that the Chinese Olympic team ranks first with 8 points, France and Portugal are both 2 wins and 1 draw with 7 points, but France is in second place with 5 goal difference over Portugal's 4 goal difference.

The final match between France and Portugal will determine the qualification for the group. If they draw, France and Portugal will join hands to qualify, and the Chinese Olympic team will be eliminated because the Chinese Olympic team has only three goal difference. However, once they have decided the winner, the Chinese Olympic team will finish second in the group and participate in the final of the third place.

In the end, France and Portugal still adhered to the spirit of fair play, and the French team relied on two goals from captain Sarr and striker Sarco to defeat Portugal who scored only one goal to win the game, while Portugal unfortunately went out.

The Chinese Olympic players, who had been watching from the sidelines, cheered loudly after the game, applauding the performance of the French team and celebrating their success.

In their next match, the Chinese Olympic team will face either England or South Korea, and the two sides will battle for the third place in the Toulon Cup.

It was a little later that the opponent was confirmed, and this time the opponent of the Chinese Olympic team was England Under-21 youth team, and the match will be held on June 1.

England haven't played in the Toulon Cup for many years. Gareth Southgate, the head coach of England's Under-21 youth team, also hopes that the team will participate in more games and compete with different styles of teams. This team came to participate in the Toulon Cup after the U21 European Youth Championship and Wales qualifiers, and England's 95-year-old players are participating in the U19 qualifiers, so this Toulon Cup is mainly to investigate 94 years, and the goal is still around the 2015 European Youth Championship.

The players in this England youth team have been average. Judging from the previous games, the players who can play in the league have played relatively stable and mature, with Prowse, Raymond, Belasino, and Leicester's Moore becoming the main skeleton of this team. Manager Gareth Southgate is also pursuing a continental style of play, with a technical midfield tandem and wingers also tending to take the ball and cut in, seeking to cooperate and transition the organization. But the team as a whole still lacks bright spots, there are no talented players in front of the eyes, the passing and control is still very rough, and there are not many ways to get on the edge of the penalty area.

Let's just say that the 94 group of players, except for Sterling, does not seem to be particularly outstanding, most of them are still mixed in the Championship on loan, and the few people who play in the Premier League are also decent.

From the clubs behind these players, they are all Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and a bunch of Premier League teams, but in fact, these players are basically playing in the Championship or even League One, such as McEachran, who was once hailed as Chelsea's most promising new star, is to consume his talent and aura in loan year after year, and players of the right age who have played a little fame such as "Trouble King" Morrison are participating in the promotion play-offs of the Championship and missed the game.

Of course, there are also a few players in this team who played later, such as the current team's main striker, Belasino who plays for West Bromwich Albion, and one is the later achievement is even greater, and now can only be regarded as the emerging Tottenham striker Kane, Zhang Sheng knows that the future Kane scored a total of 25 goals in the 2015-2016 season, breaking the single-season goal record of Tottenham players and winning the Premier League Golden Boot Award, becoming the first England domestic Golden Boot winner since the 21st century, but now Kane has just finished the game and rushed from Tottenham, and his fitness is very problematic and he has not had the opportunity to play。

Because it is the battle for the third place, the teams on both sides are very cautious, although the reputation of the third place is not very good, but the ranking is the ranking, and no one wants to give up easily.

After nearly ten minutes of mutual testing in the opening game, the two sides began to slowly speed up the pace of the game.

When the strength of the two teams is not the same, and the players are not explosive, the coaching difference between the coaches is reflected.

Although England's tactical details are too poor and often despised by teams on the European continent, and manager Gareth Southgate is not a good coach, his ability is still far better than that of Fu Bo of the Chinese Olympic team.

England's U21 team handled the tactical details much more than the Chinese Olympic team, in the 23rd minute of the first half, McEachran's only bit of aura flashed, he continued to pass Yao Tian and Xu Xin in the midfield, and finally distributed the ball to Raymond on the left, the dribbling skill, extremely fast player squeezed through the Xiongjian defense, burst into the penalty area, and then swept the ball to the middle of the Bellahino, Bellahino did not waste this pass, the arch of the foot lightly cushioned, the ball flew into the net, England team 1:0 is ahead.

After taking the lead, England began to play their familiar tactics of rapid defense, Raymond on the left and Prowse on the right, one is fast, the other has good footwork, which has caused great pressure on the defense of the Chinese Olympic team, and these two players are the left and right double knives of the Premier League Southampton club in the later stage, which shows the strength of the two of them.

In the face of the English team players who are generally higher than their physical fitness, the Chinese Olympic team, especially Xu Xin and Zhu Xuhe in the back position, was under great pressure, and it was not until the 36th minute of the first half that the Chinese Olympic team got the first chance to shoot, and Yao Tian's shot was also completely off the goal under the interference of the English players.

Until the end of the first half, England still led 1-0.

After the start of the second half, the Chinese Olympic team began to consciously look for Zou Weijia to get the ball in the front court, but Moore, a central defender who plays for Leicester City, was not worried about Zou Weijia's body, and the 1.85-meter-tall player who weighed 86 kilograms did not suffer at all in the face of a center forward player like Zou Weijia.

However, Zou Weijia soon discovered one of Moore's characteristics, that is, although he is very strong, he likes to defend by intercepting from a high position, which is very talented.

After Zou Weijia communicated with Yao Tian, let Yao Tian pass the small semi-high ball more, inducing him to intercept it in a high position, and soon Zou Weijia found an opportunity in the 61st minute, when Yao Tian passed the ball to Zou Weijia again, Moore's reckless interception failed, Zou Weijia did not pause after receiving the ball, but distributed the ball to Wei Zhimin on the left side, and began to plug it himself.

Moore hurriedly went to chase back, and soon surpassed Zou Weijia, but Wei Zhimin's pass was very thief, he passed behind Zou Weijia, and Moore had already run, Zou Weijia distributed the ball to the right with the instep of his foot, and Xiong Jian, who inserted it, immediately got up and shot at the goal, this ball because of Moore's dislocation, Xiong Jian's shooting route was very good, the ball crossed an arc and flew into the net around England goalkeeper Brandt, and the Chinese Olympic team equalized the score in a very unfavorable situation.

Southgate angrily said to Moore on the sidelines: "Use your brain, don't be too impulsive. ”

Moore could only nod aggrievedly, he could only say that this was due to Moore's talent, he was physically strong, fast, and his foot skills were not bad, but he never played, precisely because his ball quotient was not high, and it was for this reason that Leicester City sold him to Reading in the Championship.

After the goal, the Chinese Olympic team began to defend on all fronts, Fu Bo replaced Xu Xin with Luo Senwen, so that the two backs on the field became defensive backs, hoping to maintain the score, and then decide the winner with a penalty.

Southgate began to make adjustments, replacing McEachran with Kane, who started to make mistakes after the start of the performance, and Southgate was already very unhappy with his performance.

After Kane came on the field, his height of 1.88 meters showed an advantage, England's ball in the front court was very stable by him, and the 1.77 meter Belasino became Kane's partner, such a combination of one height and one piece is very sharp, not to mention Kane's own foot ability is not weak.

Just before the end of the game, Du Zhenyu, who has been performing well, made a mistake, and he was not tight with Kane, giving Kane a chance to shoot, this time Kane used a standard center move - Cruyff turned to get a chance, and Fang Jingqi was completely powerless in the face of such a close-range burst.

England took a 2-1 lead.

After conceding the goal, the Chinese Olympic team wanted to attack, but Fu Bo had replaced the attacking players in the front court, and now he was powerless in attack.

In the end, England still won the game 2:1, and the Chinese Olympic team could only swallow the bitter fruit and win the championship.

Even so, the second team of the National Olympic Games has been unanimously praised by domestic fans, after all, the players of the national Olympic team now have many stronger existences, but they are now selected for the national team, and the fans agree that if all the strongest players of the right age are replaced, this Toulon Cup may have better results.

Liu Jianhong's concluding remarks are very representative: "Although the national Olympic team failed to break through the best results of the Chinese team in the Toulon Cup, but we at least see hope, after a lot of investment in domestic football in recent years, at least we see that there is output, these players are growing up in such an environment, as long as we persevere in this direction, the future of Chinese football is absolutely bright." ”
