The Chinese national junior team won all three games in the World Junior Championship and advanced to the round of 16 with its head held high, which was not enough to cause an earth-shattering effect on the domestic media.

However, the players of the national junior team received calls from their families one after another, and after greeting the cold and warmth, they continued to praise and encourage them.

Tang Hong's life was very peaceful, as if no one cared.

It has been a long time since he has had a normal conversation with his father, and his mother is afraid that she will only be upset when she learns the news of the promotion of the national junior team, and she will not be happy.

After the group stage, it will be the knockout stage, and the round of 16 will be born.

In fact, only eight teams went home.

Netherlands, South Korea, Jamaica, Rwanda, Canada, New Zealand, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire.

Only one of the four Asian teams has left, South Korea, and the performance of Asian teams in this World Junior Championship is already guaranteed.

There is no continent circumvention principle in the draw for the round of 16, but the Chinese national junior team really does not want to run into Japan from Asia or Australia, a member of the AFC.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I just want to play against teams from other continents, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

FIFA gave the Chinese team a lot of face, and drew Uruguay.

Since the Chinese team is the top of the group to advance, it can be regarded as the advantage of the group leader without moving the nest, just waiting for Uruguay to come from other cities in Toleon to wait for work.

Uruguay are one of the teams that have performed well in this tournament, having been drawn in the same group as England, Canada and Rwanda in the group stage, winning their first two games, scoring four goals and keeping a clean sheet against their opponents, and then losing to England in the final game of the group stage, which allowed England to finish first in the group and qualify as second.

Van der Heer studied Uruguay's performance in three group games, and then asked the Chinese team to be more active in the game and not to drag the slightest bit in attack.

Leaving aside how much help it can help the Chinese team, Van der Shearer's professionalism has always been in awe of others.

It was a cloudy day with no obvious clouds in the sky, but it seemed like a light rain could come at any moment, accompanied by gusts of wind, which made the players refreshed and perfect for the game.

In the group stage, China faced opponents who had a physical advantage over them, but against Uruguay they were not necessarily passive in this regard.

But Uruguay also have an advantage over the Chinese team overall, but not in strength and height, but in speed and dexterity.

Brazil and Argentina are the traditional powerhouses of South America, and if you count them down, Uruguay is definitely not far behind!

Nowadays, the Uruguayan national team can also be called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Cavani, Suarez, Diego Forlan in the front, Pereira, Perez, Gonzalez, Gargano in the midfield, and Caceres, Godin, Lugano in the back line, they lost to Germany in the World Cup in South Africa last year, and finally finished fourth.

Uruguay's current Under-17 squad has the same style as South American football, but it does not have any outstanding talent in terms of individual player performances.

But there are still some players who are doing well and getting the spotlight.

Uruguay's entire defence, from midfielders to defenders to goalkeepers, is considered to be a promising group of players, while the two strikers have also impressed in the first two games of the group stage.

It's not realistic to expect a group of players in one age group to become stars, especially in the awkward echelon of the Under-17s.

The U17 echelon limits the minimum age limit of players, after all, the difference between 15-year-old players and 17-year-old players in physical confrontation is too obvious, and in the U21 World Youth Championship, it is more likely to give birth to a group of stars, once Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Portugal and other teams have performed well in the World Youth Championship and a considerable number of stars were born in the team that year!

Because in the U21 echelon, 18-year-old players can play the main team as long as they have the strength, and the age range of players that can be used in the echelon is larger.

Players like the U17 echelon, even if they are considered to have great potential when they perform well now, are likely to disappear from everyone in three or five years, or even say goodbye to football!

At this age, it is still rare to be able to shine in a tournament and eventually become a star.

There are a lot of future stars who don't necessarily appear at the World Junior Championships, after all, not every star has a similar explosive growth period, and not every star plays for the echelon of the young team has the opportunity to compete in the World Junior Championships, like the most talented Europe only has four national teams to qualify, but at least five or six countries will produce talented players in the U17 age group.

At this age when the gap has not been absolutely thrown away, Tang Hong and they will not be arrogant, they must be worse than their opponents, everyone has been in contact with football for about the same time, compared to paying, they don't think it is less than the other party, of course, the players of Tianhai Rising Star have this level of awareness, as for whether other players will be timid because of the game against Uruguay, it is unknown.

Entering the field with their heads held high, the two teams of China and Uruguay held a pre-match edge picking ceremony on the court.

There are more spectators in the stands, maybe it is only in the knockout round that the game is really a little interesting, after all, someone will go home after the game, and the cruelty is well known.

"The World Junior Championship has come to the knockout stage, the 8 matches of the 1/8 finals will be played in two days, and Brazil and Japan have taken the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Junior Championship in the two knockout matches that ended an hour ago, Brazil beat Ecuador 2:0 as expected, and the Japanese team's 6:0 slaughter of the Czech Republic let us see the wonderful teamwork of the Japanese team!

There is already an Asian team that has made a splash, and I wonder if the Chinese team, who won all three games in the group stage, can surprise us today.

Uruguay is not the United States, which can only fight for the body, and it may not be easy for the Chinese team to pass the Uruguay hurdle.

The Chinese team started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Zhang Yinuo.

Defenders: Zhao Hanchun, Liu Tao, Li Ang, Zhang Binyi.

Midfielders: Xie Pengfei, Luo Hongkai, Liu Binbin.

Forwards: Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Feng Jin.

Uruguay started today with 352.

Goalkeeper: Cuvero.

Defenders: Gianni Rodriguez, Velasquez, Gaston Silva.

Midfielders: Foa, Alvarez, Barella, Pais, Moreira.

Forwards: Aguirre, Coltelezzi.

The game will start soon, let's look forward to a wonderful showdown between the two teams for the audience! ”

The formations adopted by the different teams at the World Junior Championship are basically similar.

442 is still considered the mainstream, nothing more than the difference between a big diamond or a small diamond midfielder, 4231 and 433 are the most mainstream formations in European football nowadays, Van der Shier is from the Netherlands, for the country that takes 433 as a belief, it is normal for the team he coaches to play 433 for a long time, and 352 like Uruguay is now relatively rare, after all, the requirements for defender ability are very high.

Even if the European giants want to play 352 well, it will be difficult to succeed without two and a half world-class defenders, at least in the past five years the Champions League final against both teams have not adopted the 352 formation.

Perhaps Uruguay think they have a defender who can shine on the Under-17 age stage.

After the start of the game, Tang Hong was obviously more active than usual, and his activity was reflected in more dribbling and breakthroughs!

He seems to have no reservations, hoping to bring victory to the team on his own!

Van der Sheer had a brief conversation before the game, and Van der Sheer told Tang Hong that he didn't know elsewhere that scouts from some teams in the Netherlands were already watching him from the stands!

There are a lot of coaches who can't play for one club all the time, just like the players, Van der Sheer came from Ajax and had a lot of classmates from the time he was an apprentice to the time he got his coaching certificate, but now the vast majority of those students are working for different clubs in the Netherlands, some as scouts and some as coaches.

Van der Shearer's news naturally came from those former classmates, and there is no need to verify the authenticity, it is certainly not made out of nothing.

Based on the evaluation of the group stage stage of the World Junior Championship alone, there are not many players who can be of interest to the outside world in terms of technology, and the two players who have attracted the most attention are England's Raheem Sterling and China's Tang Hong!

And because Sterling is a Liverpool academy player, it is very difficult to poach, and Tang Hong will receive more attention here!

Those scouts will not rush to conclusions, which requires Tang Hong to come up with more wonderful performances to let them send the report of the inspection of the players back to the club, or even recommend reinforcements directly to the club!

The opportunity has come, and Tang Hong seems to have been waiting for a lifetime!

In the past he would have juggled the team and created more opportunities for his team-mates, but now he has to prove his ability to those who are watching him.

He can carry a team forward!

Today he is full of power, like a dragon awakening from its slumber!
