Chapter 208: The Opponent of the Top Eight
Uruguay was eliminated 0-2, such news is nothing for some fans who have just entered the industry in China, but for foreign media and fans, it is really unacceptable.
What is Uruguay, an international four-star team; What about the youth team? A second-rate of second-rate.
Many foreign fans immediately felt that the media had made a mistake when they heard the news, but when they opened their eyes wide and wiped their glasses clean, they had to accept this fact.
The South American powerhouse was indeed eliminated by an Asian team.
When it comes to the Great Wall, some people think of China; When it comes to Bruce Lee, some people think of China; When it comes to the four ancient civilizations, some people think of China. Nowadays, when it comes to football, the first thing many fans mention is China.
The United States is known as a desert for football, and China is no better.
The two largest countries have launched professional leagues in China at about the same time, more than 100 years less than in Europe.
According to the FIFA rankings, the Chinese team has been outside the dozens. This means either leaving enough space to print, or scrolling down several pages on the website before you see a red five-star red flag.
For a long time, the Chinese team has been unknown, and this team has never been seen in the World Cup. It is unheard of to now eliminate Uruguay with an undefeated record and advance to the quarterfinals.
In particular, some European scouts immediately exploded after the news was transmitted back to the club.
"Chinese Maradona?"
"Chinese Inzaghi?"
"Chinese Davis?"
"China... quotient three seconds??? What is this? ”
Jianlibaozhong's performance in the World Youth Championships is not to say that it exploded the audience, but it has repeatedly performed amazingly. Especially after Jianlibao defeated Uruguay 2-0, it immediately turned into a piece of sweet cheese, which exuded a fatal aroma to some European and American scouts.
"Mud howl, is Zhang Xiaorey here? Is there a reward? Away from the tight jade? What about the iron? And you, what's your name?"
Countless scouts began to study how China's emerging football soil is, and how to buy good seedlings here and bring them to European and American clubs for development.
The blonde and blue-eyed gringos have made the Jianlibao players stars, when has the big boy received so much attention? For a while, he didn't even dare to go out of the house, and one by one he opened the curtains and peeked at the reporters, scouts, fans and female fans downstairs.
Especially Zhang Xiaorui, at the beginning, he would lick his face and communicate with those people in his Shandong-style English. But after experiencing a suffocation that was almost squeezed by the crowd, he never dared to "show his head" again.
"Hmph, Lao Tzu is already a big star! Why don't you go and pour me a glass of water? ”
What answered him was a fat beating from his teammates.
"Lao Chen, I never dreamed that we would advance to the quarterfinals!" Rosie sat in the shade on the grass beside the road, looking up at the room of the Jianlibao team members.
For professional fans, they came to Malaysia to cheer for the Chinese team. They don't travel, they don't prostitute themselves, they do little to contribute to the local economy. In addition to the necessary food, clothing, shelter and transportation, they are by the side of the Chinese team around the clock and are on call at any time.
Of course, almost no one but Rossi would be so fanatical. But with Rossi, a sentry who will never be laid off, fans will know immediately what the Chinese team is doing.
"yes, at first I thought it would be nice to qualify for the group stage! Even if I played three games in the group stage, I immediately went home and prepared to do it. Now we have qualified for the group stage and advanced to the round of 16. Oh my god, if I hadn't been there, I would have thought it was a dream! ”
"Lao Chen, is there any water? Give me some. ”
After taking Lao Chen's mineral water, Rosie carefully took a few sips. Seeing that there was still three-quarters of the mineral water left, Rosie tightened the cap of the bottle: "Lao Chen, do we still have enough funds?" How many days is the big guy enough? ”
"Uh... It's about the same for three or four days. Lao Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "If you go any further, the money for the ticket back may not be enough." But don't worry, there are a few golfers who have good conditions at home, let them play some foreign exchange, let's borrow it first, and then return it back to China. ”
Rosie hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just do it!" Wherever the youth team plays, I will follow! Damn, even if I take a boat back in the end, I will accompany the youth team to the end! This is our hope for the future! The next matches are getting harder and harder, and the enemies are getting stronger! We can't let the kids have no fans by their side when they're in trouble. ”
"Lao Li, you're right."
"By the way, is our opponent for the next game out? Who is it? ”
"Yes..."Lao Li scratched his head, a little unspeakable.
......
Speaking of which, thanks to the expansion of the World Youth Championships, there are four teams from the Asian region. After the group stage, the strongest South Korean team was eliminated.
In fact, it is not to blame that Koreans are weak, but they are unlucky.
In the group stage, they were drawn in Group B, alongside Brazil, France and South Africa. After three games, only 1 draw and 2 losses were achieved, and they were out of the bottom of the competition.
The worst was in the third game of the group stage against Brazil, the defense was completely broken through by the powerful Brazilian team in the first half, and the difference of six goals went into the break.
In the second half, the Brazilian team still did not stop, and the score of the two teams was fixed at 10-3, and the South Korean team was out of the tournament in shame.
After reaching the round of 16, the bottom of the table was not lucky for the UAE, who met the Three Lions England. After being poured three goals in a row by the opponent, he was also eliminated.
However, the youth team is not the only Asian team to advance to the quarterfinals, and the old neighbor Japan team is also very competitive, beating Australia with a score of 1-0 and successfully qualified.
"From the point of view of the schedule, as long as our two teams go further, we can meet in the semi-finals." Discussing the schedule, he came to Ou Chuliang's side and said, "Hmph, you want to fight us, this little Japan is impatient!" ”
"That's right, I'm impatient!" Li Jinyu also waved his fists, "When the time comes, I will enter ten or eight of them, and I will also brush the data on them." ”
Although Li Jinyu scored 3 goals in this World Youth Championship, due to Brazil's Edadon scored 6 goals in the match against South Korea, plus the goals accumulated in the other 3 games, the number of goals in this cup has reached as many as 10.
With such a number of goals, other players don't have to think about the Golden Boot.
"I'm going to score goals too, I'm going to brush the stats too!" Shi Yi also hurriedly raised his hand.
"And me, I'm going to score too!" Everyone else followed suit.
"I... I'm going to go in... Goal! On the carpet, Zhang Xiaorui, who had just been beaten half to death by everyone, also barely raised his head and raised his hand stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, what do you guys think of the World Junior Championships?" Ou Chuliang pulled over the schedule in his hand, "Don't think that playing football in Brazil for a few days is really South American." ”
"We were not afraid to meet a South American team and were lucky to knock out Uruguay. But even so, do you think we have the strength of Argentina and the strength of the Brazilian team? Look at the Brazilian team, which played South Korea 10-3 in the group stage, and played 10-0 against the European Red Devils Belgium in the round of 16. What is powerful, this is powerful! ”
"Don't think it's great to score two goals with your individual ability, take a look, all the tails are cocked to the sky!"
Hearing Ou Chuliang's reprimand, the others couldn't help but blush and lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Li Weifeng hurriedly brought a glass of water to Ou Chuliang: "Brother Ou dissipates his breath, dissipates his qi, first drink saliva to moisten his throat." ”
While Ou Chuliang was drinking water, Li Weifeng continued: "Although we are not as good as the Brazilian team, Ou Ge has defeated the Brazilian national team in the Olympic Games. We can't kick Brazil, but what is Brother Ou afraid of? The big guy said yes? ”
"Yes!!" The others immediately screamed.
"Poof... Ahem, ahem..."
Hearing Li Weifeng say this, Ou Chuliang almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, choking and coughing repeatedly.
"Big head, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, how can it be nonsense? Isn't that a fact? ”
"Okay, okay, don't hold me, I can't stand it anymore." Ou Chuliang waved his hand, and Li Weifeng closed his mouth. Otherwise, Ou Chuliang might have really raised his hand and surrendered under Li Weifeng's "honey offensive".
"Don't think about so many bells and whistles, if you have that leisure, let's think about how to play in the next quarterfinals. Not to mention others, even those two big black ones you saw a few days ago. Big head, which do you think you can prevent? ”
Hearing Ou Chuliang mention the opponent of the next round, the room was immediately silenced. Everyone's eyes were focused on defenders Li Weifeng and Sui Dongliang, who all lowered their heads.
"Don't just think about winning against Japan, it's the World Cup in France next year. Let's fight with other people's youth army in advance, and we have a few pounds and taels, and it will be clear immediately! ”
