Chapter 127: The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes

In this World Cup, the Chinese national junior team was regarded as the favorite to win the championship for the first time, but in fact, in addition to the Chinese team, there are several teams that are also favorites to win the championship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Among them, Spain, Brazil, and Germany are all favorites to win the championship, and even in the frequency given by the bookmaker, the Chinese team is only the third favorite to win the championship, and the most promising team is Spain!

After the group stage was all over, what people didn't expect was that Spain, the number one favorite to win the World Cup, broke out in an upset, they lost to Japan 0:1 in the first round of the group stage, and then they lost 0:1 to South Africa in the second round of the group stage!

Spain, which has lost two games and two games, has been eliminated in one round early.

In the last round of the group stage, Spain, which had no hope of qualifying, was successfully killed by the United States team in the 88th minute of the game, and in this way, the biggest favorite to win the championship before the game ~ Spain, lost all three stops in the group stage and became the first team to be eliminated in this World Cup!

This result really made many people unexpected, and for a while, the world's mainstream media were discussing this matter, which was incredible.

The defeat to Japan in the last round was surprising enough, but it is still obvious that Japan is at the level of youth football.

But losing to South Africa in the second round is really incredible.

Ahead of this round, the Spanish media were hoping that the Under-17s could repeat the scenes of the 2010 World Cup. At that time, the Spanish national team also lost 0:1 to Switzerland in the first game of the group stage, and faced Honduras in the second game, defeating the opponent 2:0, and finally qualified from that group, and went all the way to the final, lifting the Hercules Gold Cup.

But the reality is cruel, the U17 and the national team are not the same. The Under-17s conceded in the opening seven minutes and missed the crossbar three times in the next 83 minutes. In the end, they lost the game.

Having lost both games and failing to score a single goal, Spain's U17 set a record of disgrace for the country's football at the World Series. The last time Spain were eliminated in the group stage of the Olympics, World Cup and European Championship was in Euro 2004, but they were knocked out in the final round by hosts Portugal. In the 1998 World Cup, although the Spanish team also failed to qualify from the group, they also won at least one draw in their first two games, only due to the tacit understanding between Paraguay and Nigeria in the final round. At the 1980 Moscow Olympics, Spain did not qualify, but they managed at least three draws. At the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Spain lost both group games but scored at least one goal.

After the game, Spain's players and the media complained about bad luck and problems with the referee, and there may be some truth to what they said. But that mentality doesn't help them win the game.

On the contrary, they suffered after the game because of this mentality. In the life-and-death battle with South Africa, seven people in the anxious Spanish team, including the former peak Caesar, were shown yellow cards by the referee, according to FIFA regulations, more than five people from a team in the game will be fined if they receive yellow cards, and once someone is investigated for verbal abuse and harassment of the officials on duty in the game, they will face more severe punishments.

Spain also had an uncool push and verbal abuse with the South African players in the tunnel at half-time. They also had a heated argument with the referee after the referee refused to award a penalty.

These are all manifestations of their unbalanced mentality.

Li Zong, the coach of the Chinese national junior team, put down the newspaper, and even the world's mainstream media are reporting the news that Spain's U17 was eliminated early, which shows how sensational this matter is.

Li Zong remembered the interview he had with Long Chen after coming to Amsterdam. Chen Long gave him a detailed analysis of why he thinks the Chinese team has a chance to win the championship, and he talked about the weaknesses and weaknesses of the favorites. Now it's all come true. With several Spanish U17 players in the youth academy of big clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, which looks strong on paper, was eliminated early because of the old problem of not paying enough attention and slow heating.

Li Zong was a little surprised that Chen Long's analysis of the situation was so clear and accurate, he knew that Chen Long's mind was very mature and there was a big gap between him and his peers, but it was the first time he had seen such an accurate judgment.

Li Zong even came up with such an idea, if Chen Long chooses to become a coach in the future, then he will also achieve good results! Of course, at that time, after Chen Long ended his playing career!

He would be happy to see Long Chen become a good head coach, of course, if he himself survived to that time......

The sensation caused by Spain's elimination from the competition quickly passed, and it is not a strange thing for a football game, especially the cup format, which is very easy to produce upsets.

As for the impact, I am afraid that for some teams, they will feel that their hopes of winning the championship are greatly increased.

For example, Brazil's U17 team.

The Brazilian team, which gathers players such as the Brazilian talent Kubi, who is ranked third on the new star list, is here for the championship this time, although Brazil is known as the kingdom of football, but the U17 they have never been touched, and they have had very good opportunities in history, but they have always fallen short.

In this World Cup, everyone regards them and Spain as the favorites to win the championship. As a result, Spain is now eliminated from the competition, and only Brazil is left, so won't Brazil win the championship?

For a while, public opinion was optimistic about Brazil's victory, as if the Brazilian U17 team had won the World Cup......

Judging from the group stage, the Brazilian U17 team did show that they are superior to each other. The first game against Egypt can be said to be a narrow victory, and the second game can be said to be a complete victory with a 3-1 victory against Belarus. As for the third game, Brazil, which was purely a substitute, completely slaughtered the South Korean team with a disparity of 8:0! Although it is said that the South Korean team also sent a substitute lineup without worrying about qualifying!

Their champions can be seen from the group stage.

"This is a fart champion!" Fang Xu was dissatisfied with the media praise of Brazil, and when everyone got together to chat, he complained.

"They're the team with the most goals." Zou Zhaolong said.

"Damn, whether you win the championship or not depends only on defense! It's the defense that decides the champion! "As a goalkeeper, Ronin is a natural proponent of the "defensive supremacy".

"I don't think Brazil has any championships." Long Chen spoke. "Of course it's not because of defense or offense."

Luo Ning originally thought that Long Chen was here to help him, but when he heard Long Chen's second sentence, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Whether they win the championship or not has nothing to do with whether they tend to attack or defend." Chen Long said,

"What does that have to do with that?" Feng Jun asked.

"It has to do with whether or not you meet us." Long Chen replied.

"Shh

"Poof!"

Everyone laughed.

"Well, Brazil is strong. But if we do meet them, it is not impossible to have a chance. "Long Chen is serious." In short, you must have self-confidence, and the champion is related to whether you are confident or not! ”

In a word, "We and Brazil are barefoot and shoeed, and of course, what makes Brazil uncomfortable is that we are barefoot, we will not sit still, we can kill them at any time"

………………

According to the rules, after the Chinese team qualify from the group, as the first in Group E, they will meet the second in Group F in the quarterfinals.

The second place in Group F is South Korea U17.

In other words, China U17 and South Korea U17 will meet in the quarterfinals of this World Cup.

This is also the second meeting between the two teams since last year's Asian Junior Championships, for South Korea, this game is a "battle of revenge", but for the Chinese team, it is a "battle of defense"!
