The Chinese team defeated the favorite 3:2 to advance to the semifinals, which many people did not expect before the game.

Of course, this is mainly because they lack more understanding of this Chinese national junior team, and they are still judging by their previous thinking, after all, referring to the results of previous sessions, the national junior team is indeed not very good.

In fact, the strength of Chen Long's national junior team is not bad, and in the words of coach Li Zong, they definitely have the strength to impact the final championship.

Defeating the Japanese team and advancing to the semi-finals for Chen Long and their team are not only one step closer to their goal, but more importantly, their self-confidence has been greatly improved.

After advancing to the semifinals, Chen Long and the others were given a short break.

During the break, the other three places that advanced to the semi-finals were also announced.

Lebanon, the second in Group A, faced Iraq, the first in Group B, and finally Iraq defeated Lebanon 2-0 to advance to the semifinals.

In the other two groups, Iran faced Australia, while Asian powerhouses, the duel between the two teams was extremely difficult, and in the end, Australia used a free kick at the last minute of the game to beat Iran and advance to the semi-finals, in addition, South Korea also advanced to the semi-finals.

Since then, all the teams that have advanced to the top four have been released, namely China, Australia, Iraq, and South Korea!

Before this event, if the Chinese team has the strength to compete for the championship in the end, then many people will stand up and refute it.

However, by now, almost everyone has understood that this Chinese team definitely has the strength to compete for the championship.

This conclusion is not only because of the fact that it is now advanced to the semi-finals, but also because of the strength shown by the Chinese team in the past few games, especially the fighting spirit of not giving up from the bottom to the lead against the Japanese team! This is more important, and it is also the temperament that a championship team should have!

At the same time, in this Chinese national junior team, in the previous games of Tong Guò, several young players led by center forward Chen Long and midfielder Wang Kai also gradually began to show their edge.

This also makes more and more fans begin to pay attention to Chen Long, and fans expect Chen Long and them to grow up quickly and smoothly, representing a higher-level national team, that is, the national football team plays games and watches the national football games, which is more important.

By the time of the semi-finals, the Chinese team had finished second in the championship rankings offered by many major bookmakers, behind Australia.

After that, the semi-finals were drawn, and the Chinese team drew the South Korean team.

Drawing the opponent of the Korean team is a good sign for Chen Long and them!

South Korean football, although it can be regarded as a traditional powerhouse in Asia, and their men's national football team has been a frequent visitor to the World Cup finals in recent years, but in recent years, there has been a fault line in their football talents, and they are gradually lonely, and they are not optimistic!

Although the South Korean national junior team participating in this Asian Junior Championship also reached the semi-finals in the end, their strength is recognized as the weakest among the four teams that advanced to the semi-finals.

A day later, at Xinhua Stadium, the semi-finals of the Chinese national junior team against the South Korean national junior team started first!

In this game, Li Zong, the head coach of the Chinese team, lined up a starting formation of 3~4~3~1.

Chen Long has a single arrow in the middle, Fang Xu and Feng Jun fly together, Zou Zhaolong, Wang Kai, Zhang Yang, and Qian Le join the midfield, Mei Shan, Yang Lele, and Zhao Wei sit in the backfield, and Luo Ning guards the goal!

This should be regarded as the strongest set of starting lineups in the country, although the South Korean team is not superior to the Chinese team, but Li Zong is obviously unwilling to capsize in the gutter! You know, on the football field, anything can happen, and you can't be careless.

The South Korean team obviously knew their situation, so at the beginning of the game, they took the initiative to take a defensive stance! It's like an iron array!

In the face of the South Korean team's tight defense, Chen Long kept a cool head, and at the same time, he also kept reminding his teammates in case the opponent came to defend and counterattack, which would not be cost-effective.

Chen Long's reminder was reasonable, in fact, before the start of the game, the South Korean coach instilled in the players the idea of defensive counterattack.

I have to say that the South Korean team did a good job defensively, and for a long time after the start of the game, although the Chinese team had a possession rate of 70%, it was only a few jù, but it was never converted into a goal.

In this way, the first half of the game ended, and the score of the two sides was still 0:0.

At the beginning of the second half, while fighting again, the score on the field was finally rewritten, and the Chinese team took the lead!

In the 61st minute, in the face of the tight defense that the South Korean team continued to show, Chen Long chose to quickly break through diagonally to the side, constantly disrupting the opponent's defense.

Chen Long's strategy obviously succeeded, and in the end, defender Zhao Wei assisted striker Fang Xu to score a goal.

Chen Long took the lead, and the offensive momentum began to ease, after all, the long-term high-intensity confrontation was too exhausting.

Since the South Korean team likes to defend, then simply let them defend enough this time.

was scored by the Chinese team, and the head coach of the South Korean team couldn't sit still after all, and replaced two frontcourt players in a row to strengthen the attack.

Of course, Li Zong will not sit still, since your South Korean team has strengthened its offense, then I will strengthen its defense, anyway, now that it is ahead, maybe there can be a defensive counterattack, and then, he replaced a guard and removed the striker Feng Jun!

In the following time, the South Korean team continued to attack the Chinese team's penalty area, but did not score, just like that, the score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game, and the Chinese team won the victory and advanced to the final round!

Counting up, the Chinese national junior team has not had such outstanding results for a long time. For Chen Long, even if they lose in the final, it can be regarded as a success.

However, since they are here, and the goal before the game is also the final championship, then, in the final, they will definitely go all out, and they will not give up lightly, and they are no worse than other teams in terms of their desire for the championship.

Shortly after the semi-final between China and South Korea, another semi-final between Iraq and Australia also ended, and in the end, Australia also advanced to the final with a score of 1-0.

According to the rules of the event, the final will be staged at Xinhua Stadium at 7 p.m. the next day.

At that time, the Chinese national junior team and the Australian national junior team will stage the final championship battle!

Will the Australian team defeat the Chinese team to win the final championship to defend the status of the traditional powerhouse, or will the Chinese team come from behind and step on Australia to ascend the throne with a new king? This became a topic of conversation among fans before the finals began.
