Chapter 207: Three Seconds
With 1 win and 2 draws, Jianlibao Youth Team undoubtedly advanced as the second in the group.
When all the group stages are over, the opponents of the round of 16 knockout stage are also ready to be revealed.
Uruguay.
To date, Uruguay and Brazil are the only two teams recognized by FIFA that can have four stars embroidered on their jerseys.
But unlike Brazil, a four-time World Cup winner, Uruguay's four-star came twice at the World Cup and twice at the Olympics.
Prior to the World Cup, the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football competitions were not organized by the Olympic Committee, but were organized by FIFA in two separate football cups from the Olympic Games. And this is also equivalent to the predecessor of the World Cup.
After negotiations between FIFA and the International Olympic Committee, Uruguay's Olympic champion before the World Cup was recognized, and Uruguay's practice of embroidering four stars was agreed. This is also a special honor that FIFA has granted to Uruguay for its contribution to the development of football. So Uruguay embroidered the four stars on the national team's jersey and designed the four stars on the national team's emblem.
However, it was this Uruguayan team that, after beating Brazil 2-1 in 1950, also took away the last glory of the Uruguayans.
Since then, Uruguay has participated in eight World Cups, with best finishes being fourth in 1954 and 1970.
When the time entered the 90s, Uruguayan football fell into a complete slump, and even the World Cup did not make it. Just like in the last World Cup in 1994, fans didn't see the Uruguayans in the group stage at all.
This time the reform of the French World Cup, the main competition was expanded to 32 teams for the first time. This not only gives opportunities to Asian countries such as China and Japan, but also the best time for Uruguayans to return to the top league.
And whether a national team is strong or not can be seen from the performance of their youth army.
Before the start of the game, Zhu Guanghu made it clear that he already had a complete set of offensive and defensive plans.
“... Offensively, I will make the most of the abilities of each attacking player, play to their strengths, and suppress the opponent in their areas of expertise..."
“... Defensively, we will strengthen the overall defense, and there will be no individual combat and exhaustion. Use the interspersed and running of players to make up for the lack of understanding caused by the movement of the formation, so as to achieve the effect of perfect defense. ”
The reason for Zhu Guanghu's confidence is nothing more than that Jianlibao has studied in Brazil for a long time and is very familiar with some South American teams.
For Uruguayan clubs like the Uruguayan national B team, Jianlibao dealt with each other a lot during his study abroad, and won more and lost less. Although the teams against each other are not in the climate, at least in the establishment of confidence in the players, it has reached the extreme.
For Jianlibao members, the opponent's national team may be frightened, but it is only a youth army, and they don't care about it.
Strategically despise the opponent, at least Zhu Guanghu has done a good job of this.
And in recent days, many blonde and blue-eyed gringos have frequently entered and exited the hotel where the youth team lives, and they have asked about Zhang Xiaorui's situation.
Fools can see that Zhang Xiaorui has been targeted by foreigners. After this World Youth Championships, he may be "abducted" to Europe and the United States by "foreign traffickers".
In this way, whether he can show his personality and highlight his performance against Uruguay also takes root in the selfishness of the players.
Public and private, Uruguay must win!
......
On June 25, at Shah Alam Stadium, the match between the Chinese youth team and Uruguay officially began.
Because Uruguay and Malaysia are too far apart, this time the stands are full of Chinese fans. Although the stands are still empty, the only red color that gathers gives the players a feeling of being at home.
Fighting at home, naturally you can't admit it.
After the opening, Jianlibao really formed a circle against the Uruguayans as described by Zhu Guanghu before the game.
"What's wrong with the world? The former four-star Uruguay was actually pressed and beaten by a second-rate team in Asia? ”
Looking at the Uruguayan team that had not touched the ball for 10 minutes, some European and American scouts couldn't help but widen their eyes and focus on Zhang Xiaorui again.
This is a youth team that is completely different from the national team, the ball is concentrated at Zhang Xiaorui's feet most of the time, and he is not very sticky to the ball, through running and receiving, the ball is firmly controlled in his own hands.
And when the nervous Uruguayans began to encircle Zhang Xiaorui, Li Jinyu, Shang Yi, Sun Zhi and others began to plug in from other roads and hammered 3 nails in the Uruguayan penalty area.
It can be seen that Uruguay is extremely jealous of Zhang Xiaorui and has worked his defense.
But Jianlibao is not unable to organize the attack except for Zhang Xiaorui, on the contrary, Li Jinyu, who is elusive in the penalty area and on the offside line, can also take on the role of a possession defender.
In this way, one home and one pair of classical forwards controlled the ball back and forth in front of the top of the Uruguayan arc, and the psychological pressure difference between the two sides was gradually expanding.
"But we can't be careless, the Uruguayan players have good skills at their feet, and any counterattack could be a mortal threat to us." Although the camera was always fixed on the Uruguayan half, Zhang Lu still reminded the fans in the microphone.
"Jianlibao, come on!"
"Jianlibao, fuck it!"
Although Zhang Lu is professional, fans don't buy it.
If we have the advantage on the field, we have to win!
It's been so long, it's time to score, right?!
This is the second time in the history of the youth army that the Chinese youth team has stood out in the group stage of the World Youth Championships, and fans are eagerly looking forward to Jianlibao to reach a higher level. Whether it is the Football Association or fans, Jianlibao has become the savior of the national football team.
The Uruguayans guarded tightly, and Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu did not find any good ways to attack. Whether there is a high school striker on the team or not, it has been determined to play ground penetration before the team is built.
As Zhang Xiaorui continued to pass the ball backwards, Jianlibao tried to start to continue the tactics of the second half of the game against Ghana. I want to seek space by repeatedly pulling the opponent's defense.
In the 15th minute, Zhang Xiaorui turned his back to the opponent's goal and collided with Li Tie in the midfield twice in a row. The seemingly helpless return made the Uruguayans' tense spirit relaxed.
And Zhang Xiaorui also took this opportunity to suddenly get rid of the turn and advance along the left side.
When the center of Uruguay's defense was concentrated on him, he suddenly shifted with a big kick and kicked the ball to the right.
After discussing the chest stop, he no longer hesitated and dribbled towards the Uruguayan penalty area.
"What a speed!"
Transmit fast, pick up fast, bring fast.
The negotiating legs seemed to be equipped with a small electric motor, and in the blink of an eye, he broke into the opponent's forbidden area.
"Dayu!"
The discussion with the ball pointed his eyes and saw Li Jinyu ambushed in the crowd. He immediately stopped hesitating and swept the ball at his feet in the middle.
"Bang!"
The Uruguayan goalkeeper fell to the ground in time to block Li Jinyu's tackle shot from the bottom line.
Although Li Jinyu, who got up from the ground, did not make any contributions, he still won the applause of the fans.
The young Uruguayan goalkeeper stood up with hesitation, if he hadn't blocked it in time just now, Jianlibao would have already taken a lead by one goal at this moment.
"Didn't you say that Jianlibao needs to defend the black charcoal of No. 11? Why is it that other people are so threatening? ”
Looking at the Jianlibao players who encouraged each other in front of the goal, all the Uruguayan players were solemn.
"Gazi, Dayu, I have an idea..."The discussion glanced at the Uruguayan defender who had just eaten ashes behind his buttocks, and said softly: "That guy is too slow, can we..."
Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
In the 24th minute, Jianlibao launched an attack from the right side.
This time, without warning, the Deliberation performed an extremely brutal pass on the right side. No one expected that when there was still a distance of two meters from the opponent, the discussion suddenly pushed a kick into the gap behind him, and outflanked the opponent from another direction.
In the closer-in shot, the two calves are flying upside down. Although the Uruguayan full-back tried to lean on him as much as he could, pushing him to the outside, there was always an insurmountable gap between him and the negotiations. Gradually, the discussion distances the other person at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then runs farther and farther.
"Oh my God, are his legs on wheels?"
"God, what do I see?"
"Are you sure he's running, not flying?"
Amidst the exclamations of all the fans watching the game, they accurately passed the ball to themselves three seconds later.
By the time he controlled the ball again, the pitch had reached a boiling point.
Who would have thought that the fan stands, which only sat in the 5,000 people, shouted a big scene of 80,000 people.
No way, this scene is too exciting, too exciting!
The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly.
At this time, the deliberation was like a pony running on a green field, running freely into the Uruguayan penalty area with the ball.
"Guard against him!"
"Quick! Kill him! ”
In the midst of countless commands, the discussion dribbled the ball into the Uruguayan penalty area alone. When the other defenders who were making up for the defense could finally reach out and pull him, they didn't dare to use any more strength.
He looked so fragile that he felt like he would fall at his feet as soon as he exerted his strength. When the time comes, I really can't tell!
All along, the most discussed practice is the low cross, but that doesn't mean he can't shoot. While jamming the Uruguayan defender with his body slightly, he began to slow down and adjust his posture.
One step, two steps, three steps...
When it was time to touch the ball with a fourth kick, the Uruguayan goalkeeper pounced on him.
"This kid is too deep!"
"He's running out of space to shoot!"
"You can't pass the ball, can you?!"
The corners of the Uruguayan coach's mouth on the sidelines turned up, and if it was their striker, he would have already shot with his feet at this time to complete the fatal blow.
But the discussion looks like a "chick", and it seems that he has no confidence in his single knife, and always wants to take a step closer and shoot again.
But he apparently forgot that his own team would certainly not give him a chance to adjust.
At this moment, the discussion suddenly jumped high and dodged the Uruguayan goalkeeper's falling sweep.
"Where's the ball?"
"Where's my ball?"
The Uruguayan goalkeeper was lonely with his hands, and his mind was a little confused. The ball that was originally close at hand, why did it suddenly disappear at this moment.
"Smack!" The toe of the discussion still scratched the Uruguayan goalkeeper, and the small body instantly lost its balance in the air and fell on the turf behind the Uruguayan goalkeeper.
However, the cameras on the sidelines are no longer focused on the players, and in the screen, a black and white elf is leaping high and flying towards the empty goal.
Boom...
The ball smashed across the goal line and bounced softly into the box.
"Hey, the ball is in." The corners of Zhang Lu's mouth grinned, and with a slightly obscene smile, he announced to the fans across the country that the Chinese team had scored!
"Counsel, counsel, counsel!!"
The Chinese fans in the stands could no longer hold back, not only stood up and waved the red flag in their hands desperately, but also shouted the name of the discussion.
Several young female fans with revealing bodies put their hands in the shape of trumpets next to their mouths, and after shouting the name of the discussion twice in their natural soprano, they closed their eyes, lowered their heads, opened their mouths wide, and turned all their energy into a long sound "ah", which passed through the plastic track like a sonic cannon and continued to output to the discussion in the stadium.
"It's the 13th." Zhang Lu explained, "This ball is really smart! In slow motion, he toed the ball over the head of the opposition goalkeeper in the final moments. It's a great shot, hehe. ”
The goal of the negotiation made all the Uruguayans stunned, you said that your tactical skills are similar to our South American skills, why is there a guy in the team who runs so fast?
Still don't let people play?
Is his ass on fire? Or is it loaded with jet assist?
How did you run so fast?!
On the football field, the gap in skill can be bridged by the body. But the difference in speed is always hopeless.
When the discussion showed this hand in front of the world, Zhu Guanghu immediately ordered to beat the side of Uruguay.
It's not new, it just works.
As a result, every time Jianlibao attacked, fans could see a young and thin player on the right side, frequently turning into a virtual shadow, sprinting to the back of the Uruguayan defense again and again.
Originally, the Uruguayans could still organize a few decent counterattacks and attacks, but after they completely lost on the left side, even if they attacked, the defenders on this side did not dare to stand too forward, for fear of being discussed and eaten raw.
In this way, if the formation is not neat, it will be difficult to play a decent attack. Apart from a few painless long-range shots, the Uruguayan posed little threat to Ouchulian.
In the second half, the Uruguayan coach made two changes in a row to strengthen his defense on the left side.
Negotiable speed is obviously not covered, and no one can touch his ass when he accelerates. Coupled with the deliberate pull of Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu, it can always create a vacuum for teammates on the right side.
In the 84th minute, it was discussed that for the fourth time, he overtook the outside lane at the limit speed and touched the ball in front of the opposing defender.
When it came to regaining control of the ball, the opposing defender had to slow down and chase after him.
This has no effect on the deliberation at all, and the body of the deliberation is like a weak piece of rice paper, which will fall down when it is pulled.
For this, the Uruguayan has already paid the price of two free-kicks from the edge of the box. So at this time, the Uruguayan defenders did not dare to pull at all.
After rushing to the front of the small penalty area with the ball, facing the goalkeeper guarding the near corner, he suddenly slammed his left foot and hit the goal.
The deliberate fake shot shook both the opposing defender and the goalkeeper for a moment, and then lifted the ball to the back post with a toe lift.
Taking advantage of this half-beat tempo change, a watermelon peel suddenly emerges from the crowd and appears exactly in front of the ball. With a light top, the goal was scored again.
After Li Jinyu scored, he immediately ran to the discussion that had just sent a wonderful pass and hugged him high.
This cake is really comfortable to eat, with one mouth, you can swallow it after chewing it twice.
He could have had the ability to shoot on his own, but he chose to pass the ball to Lee Kim Woo, who was in a better position and had a higher goal percentage, at the last minute. Such selfless dedication made the Uruguayan coach completely abandon the game.
"This ball is beautifully passed, and the ball is beautifully passed!" The Uruguayan coach collapsed in his chair like a deflated ball, muttering a long sigh, "Lost unjustly, lost unjustly!" ”
When the players of a team can abandon their personal honor for the sake of the collective, then the team will turn into an invincible sword and be invincible!
After the referee's final whistle, Jianlibao defeated Uruguay with a score of 2-0 and successfully advanced to the top 8.
