So when Su Dong was worried about the suppression of the Chinese national youth team in the commentary, head coach Madaloni seemed very calm, at least so far, the two wings of the national youth team have an advantage.

Now the form on the field is very clear. The Uruguayan national youth team took advantage of the pressing in the front court and the advantage of midfielder Valverde plus Bentancur to control the ball, while the Chinese national youth team took advantage of the two corridors on the side, the left route was Shen Jun, the point of the back line, and frequently sent good crosses to Peng Langjun on the left, and the right side used Xiang Tiange's personal ability.

Although the right wing-back Jose Rodriguez, who played opposite Peng Langjun, was also a player who later had an affair with Real Madrid, his ability is really average now, at least during this period, he was blown up by the left-sided combination that came out of the Longteng team.

For this reason, Bentancur had to come over to the right side many times to help Jose Rodriguez fill the position, which was also a change of direction to reduce the pressure on the midfield of the Chinese national youth team.

As for the left midfielder Facundo Valer, who was opposite Xiang Tiange, and the left wing-back Matthias Oliveira, one of them later played directly in the second division of Uruguay, and the other went to La Liga to play as a substitute.

As long as the defensive resilience is maintained, Madaloni's goal has been achieved.

The first half of the game quickly passed in one attack and one defense.

'Everyone did a great job in the first half. As soon as he entered the dressing room, Maddaloni gave the players a round of applause, "As long as we don't concede goals, the pressure of the game is on their side. ”

After sending his encouragement, Maddaloni continued to give confidence to the players: "Before the game, the outside media kept saying that Uruguay was favored by the Premier League team again, and who attracted the attention of the La Liga team. But as long as we kick like that, it will happen to you. ”

The young players were so happy that they were grinning one by one.

"Maybe after this World Youth Championships, you may be teammates with Lin. Maddaloni moved Lin Liangming's home team Real Madrid out, which was even more inciting.

Hearing that Real Madrid was involved, the eyes of all the players lit up.

Many players think like this in their hearts: "Forget about Real Madrid, I can't go there if the level is too high, and the Leipzig Red Bull, where the seniors of the national team Li Yun and Qin Minghao are in, is a Champions League team, and it is difficult to have a position." But this game is played well, and there is still a chance to go to Red Bull Salzburg or to the Portuguese League, even if it is not good, even if it goes to Serie C. ”

It's fair to say that Maddaloni knows exactly what the young players are thinking, and he knows how to poke the G-spot.

With the encouragement of the head coach and the temptation to play in Europe, the Chinese national youth team continued to maintain its own defense in the second half under the strong pressure of the Uruguayan national youth team.

When the game came to the second half for more than 20 minutes, the Chinese national youth players who had been in a defensive posture had some physical problems, and their technical movements began to be somewhat deformed, the passing accuracy plummeted, and the running and interception were also a little unable to keep up.

Especially Zeng Fanfang and Zhang Yuning, who have already received yellow cards in this game, as front-court players, they must not only participate in the attack, but also have to defend deeply to ensure the strength of the front-court, and gradually they can't run.

In the 26th minute of the second half, the frontcourt players did not carry out a counter-attack in time, resulting in Bentancur directly dribbling the ball to within 30 meters, and Wu Wei in the midfielder had to put him down and received a yellow card.

As a result, including Zhang Yuning and Wu Wei, both will be suspended for the next game.

Madaloni had to make an unplanned substitution, and Zhang Yuning was replaced by Huang Zichang, who had an amazing performance in the previous game.

"The first substitution on the Chinese national youth side. Su Dong introduced, "Huang Zichang is up, Zhang Yuning is down." Xiao Zhang should have had some physical problems, and Huang Zichang eliminated the Venezuelan team in the last game. Hopefully he'll have a good performance this time. ”

After Huang Zichang came on the field, judging from the actual situation, the effect was not too good. In the last game, he played as a surprise soldier, and this time it is obvious that the Uruguayan national youth team has already prepared, of course, if the Uruguayan coaching staff does not take targeted measures, it will be too much of a vegetarian meal.

On the contrary, Lin Liangming, who took over Zhang Yuning's position, is not the kind of center forward style of play, and his physical confrontation ability is obviously insufficient, and he can no longer put pressure on the central defenders of the Uruguayan national youth, resulting in the team's overall formation being forced to move back.

When the Chinese national youth team's counterattack lost its elasticity, the team's goal began to be threatened repeatedly.

In the thirtieth minute of the second half, Uruguayan striker Rodrigo Amaral took advantage of the flattened formation of the Chinese national youth team, and a smart run ran behind the defensive line to form a single knife.

"Amaral stabbed alone, and the Chinese team threatened. Su Dong was extremely nervous, "Shoot...... The ball was saved by Guo Quanbo and pressed under him. It was a bit off target. The kick is very positive, and the power is very small, as if the hard part is not accurate. ”

Meng Hongtao prepared the player's profile: "The player Amaral is not in the best condition. There is a reason for this, he came from the youth training of the national team in Uruguay, and he is a rising star who focuses on training, and he has played in the first team, but because he was instigated by his agent, he fell out with the club and went to the national team's sworn rival Athletic team, but unfortunately after the past, he could only play in the reserve team, so the state was not at the best. ”

In Meng Hongtao's introduction, the Uruguayan national youth team launched an attack again, this time it was Valverde's pass in the midfield that forced the national youth team to foul again, and the fouler was Xiang Tiange who came back from behind, and he also received a yellow card, which means that he will be suspended for the next game.

"The state of China's national youth has declined very much. Su Dong said worriedly, "The interception ability of the midfielder is a little unbearable with the decline in physical fitness, and it should be replaced." ”

Su Dong's words obviously have an opinion on Maddaloni, because in the game of coaching the national youth team, Maddaloni's substitutions are always criticized - most of the time they are replaced with fixed people in a fixed period of time, and you don't need to look at it to guess.

Madaloni on the sidelines was also discussing with Chinese assistant coach Sun Xuhai at this time who to change.

In the end, the coaching staff chose to take the risk and did not add manpower in the backfield, but replaced Lin Liangming with a substitute center, Wu Qingmin, a player from the Longteng team who was loaned to Qingdao Huanghai, which meant that he would be in front to press the opponent.

Really. After Wu Qingmin came on the court, his ability to hold the ball with his back was reflected.

In the 35th minute of the second half, Wu Qingmin received a precise long pass from Shin Jun in the backfield, jumped high, and then he resisted Santiago Bueno's height of 1.89 meters, and accurately distributed the ball to Xiang Tiange on the right side, who rushed up and cut inside to cause a corner kick.

The counterattack of the Chinese national youth can finally be played again.

"Wu Qingmin's role in the front court is obvious. Su Dong seems to have found a treasure, "Last season, he was loaned to play in the Central League by the Longteng team, with eight appearances and one goal. Eight games since the start of the season, starting every game, and three goals and three assists. The numbers are dazzling. ”

"For a young player like this, quality is the most important thing. Meng Hongtao expressed his opinion, "Wu Qingmin, this player has a bright future." ”

After Wu Qingmin came on the field, his ability to hold the ball in the front court and his ability to play the ball with his back made the Uruguayan side of the back line have to wait for it, and the Chinese national youth team also took advantage of the situation to press out the formation, and the defensive position left the danger area of 30 meters.

Then, Wei Zhen made another substitution against Jiang Shenglong, a fan who is familiar with the national youth team, and can know it with his eyes closed.

In any case, the effect of this substitution is still good, Wei Zhen who came up is full of energy, De La Cruz is dribbling the ball in the midfield, he has been followed by Wei Zhen behind the back, and he has reached the half of Uruguay, forcing a forward player to this position, which is also persistent enough.

The Chinese national youth team is physically fighting, and Uruguay is actually not comfortable.

In the 38th minute of the second half, in the scramble for the high-altitude ball that has been a great threat to the national youth defense, his leg was weak, he failed to stand firmly, sprained his knee, and was directly carried off the stretcher, and Uruguay had to be forced to make substitutions.

By the time the game reached stoppage time, Uruguay also had continuous cramps on the field, and they had to frequently interrupt the rhythm of the game and make personnel adjustments.

When referee Simon Marciniak, Poland's golden whistle, blew the whistle at the end of the 90 minutes of regular play, the score was fixed 0-0 on the scoreboard.

"The regular time is over. After a short break, we are going to go into extra time. Only at this time did Su Dong breathe a sigh of relief, "This is the fourth 0:0 game of the Chinese national youth team in this World Youth Championships, and it is really no good game in the competition." ”

"But just get the win. Meng Hongtao quickly answered.

Su Dong was also amused.

During the break before extra time, all the national youth team personnel, including assistant coaches and interpreters, came to help the players relax physically, and only Maddaloni kept instilling his own demands on the players.

"We've already had an experience of extra time. I think we all know what we should be aware of. "Our goal is clear, and I made it clear at half-time, which we have to make sure we don't concede, as long as we don't concede, and once we get to the penalty stage, the pressure will break them. ”

The players who accepted the relaxation of their muscles nodded solemnly, and the game was played to this point, whether to enter the final or to play the three or four matches that no one paid attention to, just like this.

No one will pass up such an opportunity.

After the start of extra time, the boys of the national youth team firmly remembered Madaloni's arrangement, worked hard to push the defense line to the midfield, and used the ten-minute break before extra time to recover their physical strength, gritting their teeth and persevering.

The national youth team did not give up, the same as the Uruguayan side, in the first half of extra time, in order to cut off the opponent's attack, one person on both sides received a yellow card, and it was more fortunate that the Chinese national youth ate the card Wei Zhen who was replaced in the second half, and he had no card before.

The first half of fifteen minutes of extra time passed quickly, and there was basically less than two minutes of rehydration, and the two sides exchanged venues to start the second half.

Fabian Coito clearly didn't want his side to go to penalties and at the start of the second half of extra-time he replaced striker Rodrigo Amaral with Joe Altaïs, nicknamed 'Cavani Jr.'.

His substitution played a key role.

In the third minute of the second half of extra time, after Joe Altaïs, who had just come on the field, received a pass from De La Cruz in front of the penalty area, a standard center forward turned his back and passed - Cruyff turned - and wiped into the penalty area, and Huang Zhengyu, who was defending him, became the background board.

Joe Altaïs, who entered the penalty area, faced the goal of the Chinese national youth sideways, and his half-turned shot was not very powerful, obviously at the end of the crossbow, but this shot hit the hand of Zhu Chenjie, who came to block.

Although Guo Quanbo came to clear the shot that was not a big threat, all the Uruguayan players began to complain to the referee about the handball of the Chinese national youth team.

As the captain, Xiang Tiange hurriedly came over to explain to the referee, saying that this was an unintentional handball and should not be awarded a penalty, but the video referee who was used for the first time at the World Youth Championships signaled to the referee Marciniak that it was a handball.

Marciniak pressed his hands down, signaled all the players not to speak, he wanted to confirm with the video referee, and then he ran to the monitor on the sideline to review the situation.

At this time, the Chinese national youth players on the field, all the coaches and players in the coach's box area, including the Chinese fans in the stands, were praying - this was not a penalty.

However, after reviewing the whole process in the penalty area just now, Marciniak decisively pointed to the penalty spot, which was a penalty.

Suddenly, there was a "black whistle" in the stands. The voice of "Referee S.B" is endless.

Huang Zhengyu, who was passed by Joe Altais, and Zhu Chenjie, who was beaten by the ball, turned black in the face. The latter almost covered his face and was about to cry.

"It's a ball hitter. Su Dong is also complaining about the Chinese national youth team and Zhu Chenjie, "When Xiao Zhu came over, he wanted to block the shot, and his hand did not leave his body, this penalty is debatable." ”

"In fact, at this time of the game, any penalty should be awarded with caution and caution. Meng Hongtao seemed to be able to change the judgment with a penalty in his own words, "The semi-finals of the World Youth Championships, or the second half of extra time, if it is not a very conclusive penalty, but this kind of ball that can be awarded or not, there will definitely be a lot of controversy after the game." ”

However, no matter how the commentary defends the Chinese national youth, the penalty has been awarded, and all the fans of the national youth can only hope that Guo Quanbo can make a big show and save the penalty.

Uruguayan striker de la Cruz stood twelve yards out.
