China's U19 national youth team played well in the Qatar Eight Nations Tournament, but it was rarely reported in China.

After the match with the Qatar national youth team, the Chinese youth team was very angry and appealed to the organizers, the referee association and the AFC, reprimanding the referee for being unfair.

There was a problem with this game at first glance, and the referee was simply too frustrated.

However, some people say that this is because you Chinese yourself are not strong. The referee's penalty scale may be a bit problematic, but people also make reasonable use of the rules, and within the scope of the rules, there is no particularly obvious misjudgment or anything?

Liu Chunming's lungs were about to explode when she heard this!

Nima, standing and talking doesn't hurt your back!

You can't see such an obvious misjudgment and such an obvious manipulation of the game, eat!

Of course, in front of the public and reporters, Liu Chunming's words must have been much more civilized, but her attitude was more serious, and her words were also very sharp, and she strongly expressed her dissatisfaction with the organizers.

Fortunately, this did not affect the qualification of the national youth team.

Of course, the national youth team also lost the opportunity to compete for the top spot in the group.

The national youth team finished second in this group and will face the top of another group, the old rivals of the Chinese national youth team, the Japanese national youth team.

The organizers and Asian Football also said that they would investigate the matter and deal with it seriously.

Liu Chunming pouted slightly, this matter will definitely not be resolved in the end.

Liu Chunming hopes that the Football Association can be tougher behind the scenes, so that China's football diplomacy can also defend China's dignity like state diplomacy.

These are things, Liu Chunming ignored them, and completely handed them over to the Football Association behind him to deal with.

Now Liu Chunming's attention is naturally focused on the upcoming opponent, the Japanese national youth team.

Due to historical reasons between China and Japan, these two teams will always attract a lot of attention when they meet each other, and it will also cause a lot of national feelings, always accompanied by a lot of emotions, and the game will be very intense, which is definitely no worse than any of Europe's top derby, nor worse than the battle of rivals in the World Cup......

This is the fiercest battle between these two countries.

This time against the Japanese national youth team, Liu Chunming frowned.

To be honest, the strength of the Japanese national youth team is still very strong. Although this is not the absolute main force of their Japanese U19 youth team, our junior team may not be the absolute main U19 youth team.

Liu Chunming is also bringing a lot of inspection players now, not all the main players.

The Japanese national youth team's control ability is very strong, especially the midfield control ability, they are very good at conducting the ball on the ground, and the use of small skills is also very reasonable, and the cooperation is very tacit, and more importantly, their bodies seem to be thin, but in fact, their ability to handle the ball under physical confrontation is also good.

We have to admit that the level of football in Japan is higher than ours right now.

However, Liu Chunming is still very confident in this game.

At least against this Japanese U19 team, our Chinese U19 team still has a chance to win, and he believes in his players.

During this preparation period, Liu Chunming reminded his players, saying: "When playing against Japan, don't follow the rhythm of the opponent. And give the opponent enough pressure, especially in midfield, don't let them pass the ball easily, and use fouls when necessary! ”

Yes, fouls are sometimes a means of defense.

Don't think that a foul is insulting football, violating football ethics, etc., don't think like that. Fouls are part of football, and fouls are used well as a tactic.

Of course, Liu Chunming is not advocating brainless fouls, violent fouls, and fouls that violate sportsmanship.

Liu Chunming also reminded Gu Zhen and said: "Your task in this game may be much heavier. We certainly don't have as much help and support for you as we used to, and a lot of the time, the burden of attack will weigh on you, you know? ”

Gu Zhen bowed slightly, he understood.

These days, they've been working on a new tactic, which is defensive counter-attacking.

In this game, the Chinese national youth team has to defend more often, and it may be a full-line defense. Therefore, when attacking, the number of people will not be too many, and there will not be as many players to support Gu Zhen as before.

In this game, we have to look at Gu Zhen's personal ability.

Liu Chunming also believes that this game is the real test for Gu Zhen, if Gu Zhen can really support the attack of the Chinese national youth team with very little support in this game, then Gu Zhen is definitely the leader of Chinese football in the future, and it is also the biggest enemy of Japanese and Korean football in the next ten or twenty years.

Liu Chunming is very much looking forward to this game, and he wants to see Gu Zhen's performance in this game.

Gu Zhen bowed slightly, his expression was very serious, he knew too well the meaning of Liu Chunming's words.

It's a game to be on your own.

Gu Zhen himself is also looking forward to this game.

There are many people who say that it is meaningless for Gu Zhen to come back to participate in the Chinese national youth team now, there will be no improvement or any fame, it is simply a waste of time.

However, Gu Zhen knows very well that coming to Guoqing is very important for his training.

He was a fringe figure in the first team at Mainz, but in this national youth team he is the core ace of the team, he takes on more responsibilities and faces very different things, which is a great help for his experience and growth.

Especially when facing a team like the Japanese national youth team, Gu Zhen can get more training.

I have to carry the attack of the entire youth team, which is very stressful and challenging.

But Gu Zhen won't give up!

Gu Zhen firmly believes that he can do a good job, and the Chinese youth team will win this game.

Gu Zhen said confidently: "Coach, don't worry, I will do my best in this game, I will not let you down." Our Chinese team will definitely win this game! ”

Liu Chunming nodded firmly and said, "I believe in you!" ”

Then Liu Chunming introduced the Japanese youth team in front of all the players of the young and middle-aged teams.

The Japan youth team is Japan's Under-19 team, but some of their star players were not selected for the team and did not come to Qatar. For example, Yaichiro Kakitani, Yumeo Kanesaki, Kota Mizunuma and Kentaro Nakata, who are very famous in Japan, did not come, and some of the younger players who were very popular did not make the selection, such as Naoki Yamada......

If these main players don't arrive, it doesn't mean that the team is poor.

This team is also very strong, and their current trump card is Shinji Kagawa, the young midfielder core from Osaka Sakura in the J2 League.

Yes, the young player is now a regular in the J2 League's Osaka Sakura first team and is also the heart of the midfield. Last year, Shinji Kagawa also scored five goals and provided eight assists for Osaka Sakura in the J2 League.

In Japan, there are many fans who call Shinji Kagawa "Hidetoshi Nakata's successor" and "Japan's Iniesta".

The strength of the Japanese U19 youth team led by this guy is not weak at all.

Hearing this, Gu Zhen bowed slightly, because he knew that Shinji Kagawa was a person.

This is not to say that Gu Zhen has seen Shinji Kagawa, but has heard of this talented midfielder. Yesterday, Gu Zhen's father, Gu Yongchen, made a special call to Gu Zhen, just to tell Gu Zhen about the Japanese genius Shinji Kagawa.

Gu Yongchen knew that the Chinese youth team was going to play against the Japanese youth team, so he told Gu Zhen what he knew, hoping to help Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen also learned about Shinji Kagawa from Gu Yongchen.

Because Gu Yongchen is a full-time scout at Mainz FC and is also the head of the Asian region. Their scouts in Mainz Asia have long noticed Japan's teenage genius Shinji Kagawa, and even the likes of Yoichiro Kakitani.

However, they are most optimistic about Shinji Kagawa.

Of course, they don't have the intention of taking Shinji Kagawa away yet. And Shinji Kagawa is now playing in the Japanese professional league team, and he is still the core. If he didn't have a chance to compete in Europe, he would definitely prefer to train in Japan for another year or two and then go to Europe.

So, now the Mainz team doesn't have the idea of bringing in Shinji Kagawa, but this guy is really talented.

Gu Zhen learned all this from Gu Yongchen, and he knew that what Liu Chunming said was true.

Liu also said: "If we want to win against Japan, we have to keep an eye on their midfield core Shinji Kagawa, you know? ”

The players of the youth team bowed their heads one after another, indicating that they understood.

Seeing that his disciples were very excited and full of confidence, Liu Chunming was very satisfied. However, he still reminded his players to be cautious and not to underestimate their opponents.

The players of the youth team have said no.

This game against the Japanese team is still concerned by some domestic media. After all, this is going to play against the old rival of Chinese football, the Japanese team, and there is still some concern.

However, Liu Chunming would like not to have this attention, because they don't want to put too much pressure on their players and hope that they can easily cope with the game.

However, it is impossible now, and some domestic reporters have already come to Qatar, just outside the hotel where their national youth team is staying, waiting for an interview.

Liu Chunming immediately announced a ban on the players from giving private interviews to any reporters.

Liu Chunming stared at Gu Zhen and said, "Especially you, Gu Zhen, do you know?" ”

Gu Zhen is the most famous and sensational in this national youth team, and Liu Chunming knows that almost all of these reporters are aimed at Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen performed very well in this tournament, and is now the biggest favorite for the best player and top scorer.

However, Liu Chunming was a little worried that these would become Gu Zhen's pressure.

However, Gu Zhen will definitely encounter many similar things in the future.

Liu Chunming can only hope that Gu Zhen can handle it well, not be affected by these off-the-field factors, and train the game well.

In this case, the Chinese U19 youth team ushered in the semi-finals of the Qatar Eight Nations Invitational Tournament, and their opponent was the Japanese U19 youth team.

For this game, the managers of both teams are very serious, and both claim that they will go all out to win this game.

In this case, the players of the Chinese U19 youth team and the Japanese U19 youth team stepped onto the court together, preparing for the upcoming game, all hoping to get tickets to the final.
