Cao Jinghao did not waste Wang Xing's hard-earned free kick opportunity.

This time, Cao Jinghao's free kick hit the goal and caused the Mexican goalkeeper to get out of his hands, and Liu Ruofan grabbed in front of all the players, made a supplementary shot, and sent the ball into the net.

The Mexican players signaled that Liu Ruofan was offside, but the referee decisively ruled that the goal was valid after asking the linesman's opinion.

The commentator also smiled happily at this time: "Cao Jinghao's free kick, there is a threat, the opponent got out, Liu Ruofan made up for it, and the ball scored! This young player scored the first goal of the World Junior Championships, haha, 3:1, the national junior team is really more flowering." If this score is maintained, the national junior team will make history and reach the semi-finals of the World Junior Championships, which will be the best result in the history of the national junior team, regardless of the next game. ”

The Chinese national junior team relied on Liu Ruofan's goal to expand the score to 3:1, and now Mexico, which lacks height on the field, has suffered a big loss, just as in history when they faced a taller and stronger Nigeria, they were pressed and beaten by the opponent and beaten a 2:4.

With this goal, the Chinese national junior team began to slowly kill time, and the Mexican team replaced Laura, who rushed for most of the half, and replaced a center forward, and also learned from the Chinese national junior team to start hanging high balls in the penalty area.

However, the Chinese national junior team is not like the Mexican national junior team, Liming is nearly 1.88 meters tall as a central defender, much taller than Mexico's center forward, and aside from the fact that he still makes small mistakes from time to time, his bounce ability and header ability are absolutely second to none.

Most of the attacks of the Mexican team were pushed out by Liming or Zhu Chenjie, and then the second point was also protected by the national junior team, and the Mexican team had a rare opportunity to break into the national junior team's penalty area except for long-range shots.

After Rick Link successively replaced a defensive defender, replaced Zeng Prosperity, and replaced Zhu Chenjie with Lu Yangyang, there was not much time left in the game.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the players and coaches of the Chinese national junior team hugged each other excitedly.

The commentators of many countries have awarded the title of "biggest dark horse" in this World Junior Championships to the Chinese team, among which Nie Jiang missed one game in five games and scored seven goals, which also dazzled everyone's eyes.

Now Nie Jiang is also ranked second behind Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen with seven goals, and the former has three penalties, which is only one more goal than Nie Jiang, who scored one.

At the post-match press conference, many of the reporters' questions were aimed at Nie Jiang, and Rick Link said proudly: "Nie Jiang will be one of the best strikers in the next decade, but we have a lot of good players in the team, we are an excellent team." Rick Link didn't forget to praise his other players.

After this game, many people also called Zhang Sheng, and they all congratulated Zhang Sheng on cultivating another player with strong ability.

Of course, for example, Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig, Sporting Lisbon, Ajax, Leicester City and other clubs that have a relationship with the Longteng Club are more obvious - when Nie Jiang can come to Europe, you should be accurate.

Zhang Sheng gave a very clear answer - at least wait for Nie Jiang to turn 18 years old, and then see how he develops - mainly physical condition.

Since Zhang Sheng invited a professional team from Europe to take care of Nie Jiang physically, how to make Nie Jiang physically stronger without reducing his spirituality - such as body balance, body flexibility, etc., while keeping him away from injuries is Zhang Sheng's main concern.

This top team that has made a lot of effective suggestions to many clubs in Europe has made the Longteng Club spend money like water, but in Zhang Sheng's view, at least at this stage, their work is worthy of affirmation, judging from the attributes of Nie Jiang that Zhang Sheng saw in the system, Nie Jiang's spirituality has not been reduced, and the injury attribute has not deteriorated, but because the body is stronger, the attribute of injury tendency has become better.

It seems that a penny is really a penny.

However, what makes Zhang Sheng distressed is what to do in the AFC Champions League final of the Longteng team next?

After the Chinese national junior team played the quarter-finals against the Mexican team, it was already November 3, and the first game of the AFC Champions League final of the Longteng team was held on November 7.

The national junior team that successfully passed the test made history, so no matter what the results of the semi-finals of the World Junior Championship between them and Nigeria on November 6 are, the Longteng players in the national junior team will not be able to come back to participate in the AFC Champions League final.

Judging from the current state of Nie Jiang, plus the performance of Huang Dawei, Zeng Fanfang, Shen Jun, Cao Jinghao and others, it is a great loss that they can't participate in the AFC Champions League!

Even the opponent of the AFC Champions League of the Longteng team, Dubai Al Ahli, is also glad that the Longteng team has a large number of very useful players who cannot participate in the game.

Speaking of Al Ahli, countless fans who are not familiar with football in West Asia and East Africa are estimated to be full of stars, because there are clubs in too many countries called Al Ahly, including but not limited to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Syria, Yemen, Egypt (Guangzhou Evergrande has met in the Club World Cup), Morocco, Tunisia and other countries.

In fact, this is not unusual, just like there were locomotive clubs, army clubs, etc. in China before, the Soviet Union before the disintegration, and later Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria in Eastern Europe, Romania and other countries also have locomotive clubs, army clubs and other football clubs.

In the clubs of West Asia, basically all the clubs are Al Beginnings, such as Al Ahly, Al Hilal, Al Ain, Al Ittihad and so on.

"Al" doesn't actually mean anything, it's just an Arabic definite article, the English equivalent of "The". So, in fact, when the media translates the name of the team, they can actually call it Al Ahly, Ain, Al-Hilal, Ittihad and the like.

It's just that in Arabic, once "Al" is preceded by a word, it forms the same word with that word, unlike in English, which is still two words.

Specific to Al Ahly, Ain, and Al-Hilal, in fact, their meanings are also very ordinary, just like Argentina has a club called youth team - Boca Juniors, and there are also many clubs called youth teams in distant Europe.

In Arabic, al-Ahli means nation, al-Ittihad means unity, al-Hilal means crescent moon (the flag of a certain religion is the crescent moon), and the common shabab means youth (the same as Boca Juniors), Estegral means independence, and so on.

And this time, the Dragons met Dubai Al Ahly is a team in the UAE League, and it is a local tyrant team.

The history of this club is not long, in 1970 Al Ahli Dubai was founded, they were very successful in the first ten years of the club's existence in the domestic league - 3 league titles, 3 cup titles, and then the club went through a long period of turmoil, until 2005, after a long hibernation Al Ahly Dubai returned to the top of their form, they won the domestic league and cup championships in succession, becoming a traditional powerhouse in West Asia.

However, when it comes to the AFC Champions League, their results are very average, in the AFC Champions League after the restructuring, they participated 5 times, 3 times at the bottom of the group, this year their character exploded, the first time they qualified from the group, and they went all the way to the final.

Of course, being able to reach the final is also related to their current boss.

The owner of Al Ahli in Dubai is called Hamdan Maktoum. He is simply an aristocrat born with a golden spoon in his mouth - born in 1982, he is not only the crown prince of Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, but also the first in line to the throne of the Emirate of Dubai.

Dubai Al Ahli can reach the final, money and luck are the two most crucial factors.

In the AFC Champions League semi-finals, after the opponent missed a penalty, they were lucky to eliminate the opponent with a total score of 4-3 over two legs, and because the foreign aid they bought in the middle of the league was only registered with the UAE Football Association, not the domestic league of the United Arab Emirates, so their semi-final opponent Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia believes that it is illegal for him to play in the AFC Champions League, and has appealed to the AFC and even FIFA three times in a row.

This kind of luck is really good against the sky.

In addition to luck, Maktoum's money is also very crucial.

Now Al Ahli Dubai's head coach Olaroyo is a figure to keep an eye on.

As a Romaria player, Olaroyo had an uneventful career, retiring from the game in 2000 after four years of gold mining in the Korean K-League at the end of his career, and moved to West Asia in 2007 after a modest career under the traditional powerhouse Bucharest.

Since then, Olaroyo has basically never left West Asia, and in his nearly 8 years of coaching career, it can be said that every West Asian team he coached has won the championship.

In the 07/08 season (all leagues in West Asia are New Year's Eve), Olaroyo led the team to the Saudi league title and the Saudi Prince Cup double, and defended the Prince Cup the following season. He then moved to Qatar's Al Sadd, where he won the Qatar Cup in 2010.

Olaroyo then briefly returned to Steaua Bucharest, but returned to West Asia in the summer of 2011 to coach UAE side Al Ain, completing two consecutive UAE league titles and winning the UAE Super Cup for 12 years.

At the end of the 13/14 season, Olaroyo moved to city rivals Al Ahly to complete the league and UAE League Cup double in the 13/14 season. At the Asian Cup at the beginning of this year, Olaroyo also served as the head coach of Saudi Arabia, which is in the same group as the Chinese team. However, in the 14/15 season that just ended, they did not play well, finishing 7th in the league - of course, the impact of the two-line or even three-line battle on the team is very big - so they will not be able to participate in the 2016 AFC Champions League (the AFC Champions League does not have the rules for the defending champions).

As one of the most successful coaches in West Asia, Olaroyo is now missing the AFC Champions League title, and it can be said that this time the AFC Champions League final opportunity Olaroyo will not give up resistance easily. Of course, this also shows from another aspect - the choice of coach is not just based on fame, some less famous coaches may be better in terms of adaptability.

This match between the Dragons and Dubai Al Ahly also brought out another old opponent of Zhang Sheng, Cannavaro.

Because Cannavaro's last stop at the end of his career was Al Ahli Dubai, he also mentioned the Dragons and his former club in an interview before the game.

Cannavaro's emotional intelligence is evident in his answer: "The Dragons are very strong, I think they can compare to my other old club, Guangzhou Evergrande. They have deep pockets, a well-developed infrastructure and a complete club plan, which is stronger than the vast majority of clubs in Asia, and even more than many clubs of the same level in Europe. This year they won the Chinese Super League title from Guangzhou Evergrande. Of course, Al Ahly also has the ability to read the game like Olaroyo, a manager who is very capable of studying players, an ambitious and committed boss, and a group of good lads. ”

"The best team wins. That was Cannavaro's last clever remark.

Cannavaro's words were not wrong.

Al Ahli Dubai is very willing to invest in the players.

At the beginning of the year, they brought Everton Ribeiro, who was once very close to Guangzhou Evergrande, from Cruzeiro, a superstar known as the "Cruzeiro Twins" along with Goulart. Next, they bought 22-year-old all-rounder Kwon Kyung-won from Jeonbuk Hyundai (who later played for Tianjin Quanjian's defensive core), and Liverpool took away Morocco international winger Al Saidi, who was unable to stay at the Britannia Stadium because Liverpool and Stoke City did not negotiate a buyout fee (he also led to the Saudi club's lawsuit), and brought the UAE international midfielder Alfadan from the same country team to strengthen the midfield.

At the beginning of the new summer season, Dubai Al Ahly brought from Benfica the bronze boot of the Portuguese Super League last season, and the Brazilian center Lima, who had also been rumored to have an affair with Guangzhou Evergrande. Lima played 12 games since joining Al Ahly and scored a horrific 14 goals in total. In the second registration of this season's AFC Champions League, the new arrival Lima also directly replaced the foreign aid who signed up in the first half of the AFC Champions League this season, former Chilean international Luis Jimenez. Originally, Olaroyo also wanted to buy an extra foreign aid to replace the Moroccan Azidi who was not in good shape, but because the team only brought Senegalese international Sow from Fenerbahce on August 31, it was already the first leg of the AFC Champions League top 8, let alone registration. The player, who cost Al Ahly €17 million, will only be able to sit on the sidelines in the AFC Champions League final.

Even so, Al Ahly's total investment in foreign aid has reached a high of 40 million euros, which is far higher than that of the Dragons.

In addition to these star players, Olaroyo's other players are all main players or substitutes for the UAE national team, including the UAE national team captain Khalil, who won the Asian Cup silver boot at the beginning of the year.
