Chapter 57: Peak Duel
Chapter 62: Peak Showdown
Before the start of this game, some mainstream bookmakers updated the odds of winning the championship again, this time, the odds of the Chinese national junior team to win the championship are almost the same as the Australian national junior team, which means that in the eyes of those mainstream bookmakers, the Chinese team has the strength of an Australian game.
This Asian Junior Championship has come to this point, which can be said to have surprised many people.
For the fans of the Chinese team, this national junior team really brought them a surprise.
Therefore, a day later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, at Wuhan Xinhua Stadium, Chinese fans wearing the traditional red jerseys of the Chinese team's home game kept pouring into the stands like a colony of ants.
Fans want to witness a historic moment at the scene, and they want to witness the moment when the little guys of the Chinese team create a miracle, which is what they are eager to see.
And in this continuous influx of people, there are Raleigh, the chief scout of the traditional giants of the English Premier League, Arsenal FC, and Arsenal FC Asian scout Traley.
There are scouts from FC Porto of the Portuguese Super League, known as the "black shop in Europe".
There are scouts from Ajax FC, one of the "Three Musketeers" of the Dutch First Division.
There are more than a dozen other scouts from football clubs around the world.
There are the current head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Club, Jose Mourinho, and his friend Smith.
There is Cai Ming, chairman of the Chinese Football Association.
There is Dong Hao, the former main striker of the Chinese men's national football team.
It's really hard to imagine that there were already more than 20,000 fans in the stands just 10 minutes before the start of the game, which is definitely the first time in the history of an event like the "Asian Junior Championship".
At seven o'clock, Wuhan Xinhua Stadium, under the leadership of the referee, the two teams that entered the final finals of this Asian Junior Championship, the players of the Chinese national junior team and the Australian national junior team, walked into the stadium from the player tunnel!
The final championship battle of this Asian Junior Championship is about to start.
After the national flag was raised, the captains of both teams came to the referee, tossed a coin, and decided to take the lead in teeing off and picking the edge.
The captain of the Chinese team was Wang Kai, and Wang Kai's luck was not bad and he got the right to kick off.
Then, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Li Zong's starting lineup is the same as the previous game, and Chen Long is still a single arrow.
At the beginning of the game, the football was controlled by the Chinese team.
For this Australian national junior team, Chen Long also had a deep study before the game, and after watching the game video, the coaching staff found that the frontcourt attack power of this national junior team is not too strong!
In other words, this Australian national junior team is a team that is good at playing defensive counter-attacks.
Knowing this, before the game, Li Zong also reminded Chen Long many times that they must pay attention to the opponent's counterattack.
For the Chinese national junior team, Australia has obviously also conducted in-depth research.
Up to now, in this national junior team, the forward attack group led by Chen Long has left a deep impression on other teams.
Therefore, as soon as the game began, Australia closely guarded Chen Long and several of his frontcourt players.
In the 45 minutes of the first half, neither side had many chances, and the score was still 0-0.
After the break, the second half continued in the 67th minute, Chen Long made a long pass in the midfield, pinpointed the wide Fang Xu, who received the ball and ran wildly towards the Australian goal, and then entered the penalty area, attracting almost all the Australian defenders, and then crossed the ball out.
Feng Jun, who cut in from the other wing, was completely unmarked, and in front of him, most of the goal was empty!
He faced the football, swept sideways, and the football rolled into the Australian goal......
"Ahhh The ball is in! The ball is in! The Chinese team won the collar!
The fans in the stands burst into applause!
What does this goal mean, every fan knows very well, the Chinese team occupies a favorable situation on the field! Also, the Chinese team is likely to win the final championship with this goal.
"Chen Long's pass is really a classic"
Somewhere in the stands, Mourinho said to Smith next to him.
Because it was the national team training camp in the past few days, the Chinese Super League ushered in a short offseason, so Mourinho came to the scene of the Asian Junior Championship final.
Originally, whether it was the Asian Junior Championship or the Asian Cup, it had nothing to do with him, but there was Chen Long in it, and Mourinho had been silently paying attention to Chen Long.
No, the Smith beside him was specially arranged by him to pay attention to Chen Longbiao.
SMITH: Jose, I have to admit, Chen, is really talented.
………………
Mourinho was right, if it weren't for Chen Long's deadly long pass in the midfield, Feng Jun would not have been able to shoot so easily and score.
Therefore, at the moment when Feng Jun scored, including Fang Xu, who assisted him, they rushed to Chen Long together, and then celebrated with Chen Long.
After a brief celebration, the game continued, and it was clear that the Australian team would not watch the Chinese team keep leading and eventually win the championship, so they stepped up their attack.
However, until the end of the game, Australia did not equalise.
Therefore, when the referee blows the end of the game, it means that the final champion of this Asian Junior Championship is born, and the winner is the Chinese national junior team!
At the moment when the game ended, Wuhan Xinhua Stadium was completely boiling!
Chen Long and the others formed a circle with each other and began a frantic celebration.
In the coach's seat, coach Li Zong also patted his chest excitedly, and other members of the coaching staff behind him also hugged each other to celebrate the victory.
In the stands, "Lao Chen, Xiaolong, they won the championship", Liu Xin's excited voice was already trembling!
