About five or six hundred years ago, there was a unique civilization in the Mexico City area, the Aztec Empire!

The Aztec civilization, Inca civilization, and Mayan civilization are known as the three major civilizations of Central and South America.

If you're visiting Mexico, the Aztec ruins in Mexico City are a must-see.

The final of the 2011 World Junior Championship in Mexico will be staged at the Aztec Arena, and the atmosphere of local culture and history will make the final seem to be a spectator before the start of the game.

Before the Chinese team prepared for the finals, the whole team behaved very calmly, less gossip, less tricks, more full attention, and more ready to go!

At noon on the day of the competition, Sun Rou led the team of chefs to make a chic lunch for everyone.

The ingredients are still the same, but the presentation after cooking is unique.

The food on each plate is posed, some are English WIN, some are crowns or trophies, some are NO.1, etc., there are many kinds of fancy, all of which are cheering for the Chinese team.

The group of young men smiled when they saw this well-prepared lunch, and everyone ate much more than usual.

Sun Rou doesn't mingle with these boys, she's always a bystander on the fringes of the group, but everyone can feel that she has put a lot of thought into the team.

At their age, it's basically impossible not to be picky eaters, and even though Sun Rou doesn't treat anyone other than Tang Hong specially, it's common to ask the other three cooks to cook more of their favorite foods when arranging recipes.

If Sun Rou rushed out enthusiastically and shouted for the Chinese team to cheer, I am afraid that many people would be shocked and think that they had seen a ghost.

Sun Rou, who is just a quiet little girl on weekdays, has the magic to make everyone happy, like this chic lunch, just looking at the shape is enough to make people feel special power, and the happy mood will last for a long time.

Playing football is essentially a sport that you can enjoy and enjoy from the heart, and if you just think of it as a job, you don't care what level you can achieve, but you can't bring out your own extreme strength.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese team left the hotel and took a bus to the Aztec Arena.

The bus was driving on the road in Mexico City, and Tang Hong sat by the window and carefully browsed the scenery in the city.

With China's rapid development in recent years, many cities have taken on a new look, and the rows of modern skyscrapers bring people a relatively monotonous visual sense, with a bit of avant-garde in the bustle, gradually covering the traces of the past.

However, in many foreign cities that Tang Hong has visited, in addition to the reason that the development may be relatively slow, it is more the active protection of cultural and historical relics, Mexico City has some relics of the Aztec civilization, as well as many monuments to national heroes, and most of the other buildings can be seen full of medieval classical colors, even after renovation but also full of historical atmosphere, basically such buildings are churches or monasteries, or these two were later converted into other buildings, such as museums, art galleries, and even stations.

After all, in the past more than a thousand years, theocracy has also overridden the royal power, so compared with the historical relics of China, which are mostly from the architectural art of feudal dynasties, the historical relics of Europe and the United States are more products of the theocratic era such as churches.

When the Aztec Arena appeared at the end of the line of sight, Tang Hong's expression suddenly became solemn.

The stadium is full of magic, and it cannot be ruled out that it will be mythologized for many years.

But it is undeniable that this stadium witnessed the magnificent music of the football king Pele in the World Cup, and there is another football king, Maradona, who rode alone to stage the most exciting thousand-mile run in the World Cup, and the hand of God, which is regarded as a classic, there are the legends of Argentina and the tears of England.

On top of that, the Aztec Arena is the only stadium in the world that has hosted two World Cup finals!

The stadium has a capacity of nearly 120,000 people, and there was already a steady stream of spectators rushing to the stadium before the start of the game today.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the players of the Mexican team are proud to be able to play in this stadium, let alone the Chinese team from afar!

When the Chinese team came to the Aztec Arena for pre-match preparations, the third-place match was over, and the German team defeated England 3-2 to win the third place in the World Junior Championship.

When the Chinese team warmed up in the stadium, there were at least half of the people in the stands!

Local Mexican fans make up more than 95% of the audience!

The off-field advantage of the host Mexico is definitely to crush the Chinese team!

The Chinese team, who came to the Aztec Arena as a guest today, will face a final with few supporters!

They didn't have supporters before, but they didn't have opponents either, so there is no such thing as who has an advantage and who is at a disadvantage.

But today, when the game was about to start, the stands of the Aztec Arena were almost full, and the attendance was close to 100,000!

More than 90,000 spectators will cheer for Mexico, they will not watch the game calmly, they will create a strong momentum to put pressure on the Chinese team, to motivate the host Mexico!

Van der Sheer cheered for the team before the game, and instead of giving the team an impassioned blow, he said something thought-provoking.

"I've been a coach for a long time, I started my apprenticeship at Ajax at the age of 19, I got my coaching certificate at the age of 24, I left Ajax at the age of 28 and I'm 33 now.

For almost 15 years, I and you know very well what has happened in world football, and we only remember the teams and players who have made a name for themselves.

But in reality, there are countless players who have been eliminated in this industry.

No one looks at the players who leave the academy with their luggage, maybe you see a mall cashier who used to be an academy player at a certain club, and the success rate in this industry is very low.

You've won the Asian Junior Championship, you've won the opportunity for yourself, you've come to the World Junior Championship and you've done really well and I can tell you that today there will be scouts from at least 20 European clubs in the stands sitting there watching the game, and if you do well, they'll remember your name, and if you don't do well, he'll keep an eye on your name and they'll put you on their blacklist.

This is an opportunity for you to be a turning point in your fate, seize it, seize it, only today!

Life doesn't give you many opportunities, today you are not ready and determined to perform better next time? Why should life give you another chance?

So, do you want to give it a go, or do you want to wait for your old age to die with regret and loneliness in your heart? ”

Perhaps at the age of U17, Van der Heer shouldn't have spoken so heavily before the final, but he also hopes that these children will not be too naïve and optimistic, and only when they realize the cruelty of professional football can they better follow the road ahead!

If only they had a way to go.

The Chinese generals look resolute, they are very young, but if they are not ambitious, I am afraid it is impossible to stand here, it is impossible to stand out from their peers, and it is impossible to become a team!

Even their fighting spirit is not lower than that of the Chinese national youth team, the national Olympic team, and the national team!

Because they are actually still very simple now, and they have a lot of strength not to admit defeat in their bones, and they have not yet been crushed by setbacks, have not compromised with reality, and have not been distracted by the rich material.

This may also be the final stage of most of their lives when facing football will be the most able to remain single-minded!

When they become adults, whether it is the cruelty of professional football or the complexity of reality, their concentration on football may be divided bit by bit.

When they walked into the Aztec Arena, the deafening cheers of the Chinese team made the ears of the Chinese team seem to buzz!

Because they couldn't understand what the Mexican crowd was shouting, and they couldn't see the familiar Asian faces in the stands!

They seem to have strayed into the tiger's den in Longtan, and they have become lambs to the slaughter in the eyes of Mexicans in their isolated situation!

Tang Hong, as the captain, summoned the whole team before the game to boost morale, and everyone shouted "China will win!" Then he went to his standing position in high spirits and waited for the game to start.

Standing at the back of the middle circle, Tang Hong raised his head and looked around the audience, this was the first time in his life that he was playing under the gaze of nearly 100,000 spectators, was he nervous?

Sort of, of course!

But when you suppress the tension, you get even more power!

No matter how many scouts are watching in the stands, he vows to shine his light!

He doesn't know where he's going to go, but he's already on his way!
