In the quarters, China U17 moved to Iquique to take on Mexico U17, and they just won 4-1 against hosts Chile.

Huaguo U17 did not expect to receive the same warm welcome as the home team in this Chilean city, with thousands of local fans at the airport and a large number of fans watching and cheering for every ordinary training session.

There are thousands of Chinese fans who also follow the team to Iquique, Lin Wenlei heard that there will be many fans from all over the country or South America in the next few days, and there are many travel tournaments to launch the World Junior Championship tour is very popular, the rare good results of the national team have been recognized by the fans, and hope to witness the Huaguo U17 to make history.

This has brought a lot of windfall income to Chile, the host of the World Junior Championships, and the spending power of Chinese fans has even made the Mexican media very worried, believing that the organizing committee may be biased in favor of Chinese U17 for economic reasons, and repeatedly emphasized the free kick and some controversial penalties against Ecuador in the last game.

"See, as a traditional football powerhouse, we lack experience in all aspects. The media knows what to do and how to exert pressure without organizing. ”

Lin Wenlei said this in a casual chat with Liu Jianhong and Wei Hongjiang, the directors of Jiangxia Sports Channel, before the game.

This made Liu Jianhong a little embarrassed. Jiangxia Sports Channel won the broadcast rights of the World Junior Championship Huaguo at a high price this time, which not only earned enough popularity, but also the advertising revenue was also very satisfying. Talking about these reports in the Mexican media, he took the initiative to talk about them, but he didn't expect Lin Wenlei to interpret them like this, and it makes sense. Liu Jianhong hurriedly remedied:

"yes, we still have a lot to learn. We're going to do that as well..."

Lin Wenlei just sighed casually, and did not blame the sports channel. Their international mindset that relies on localization and local factors has achieved good results. Not only has it become a well-deserved No. 1 sports program in northern Chubei, but it has also set up a network of local sports channels in eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, Hujiang and so on, which are almost all over China. It also co-founded the Oriental Sports Channel with Suzaku Satellite TV, which radiates Southeast Asia and Chinese audiences in Europe and the United States, making Asian sports elements the foundation of the station and beginning to occupy a lot of sports broadcast markets.

Lin Wenlei doesn't care about the interests of the sports channel itself, the key is that the broadcast market can affect many sports and have the right to speak in the sports world.

Now most of the income of the AFC comes from the high royalties of the sports channel, the economic base determines the superstructure, and Zhang Jilong, Luo Changhai, the representatives of Chinese football, have more and more voice in the AFC.

Zhang Jilong was elected vice president of FlFA with the support of FlFA President Infantino, and was elected president of the AFC.

Lin Wenlei heard Liu Jianhong's words with some criticism, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained:

"I didn't mean to say what you did, you did good enough. I mean, there are a lot of details that we have to go through before we can understand them, and the next time there is such a situation, we will naturally know what to do..."

Wei Hongjiang also took the opportunity to praise the work of the sports channel, Liu Jianhong was very happy in his heart, he was also satisfied with his work for more than a year, and he still said modestly:

“… There must still be a program that can be used, sports, in the final analysis, we still have to talk about results, and the results of Lin Jiao are one of the guarantees for our channel promotion. ”

Regardless of whether it is Liu Jianhong's compliment or not, results are indeed one of the important indicators of sports, Lin Wenlei will also attach great importance to it when he does not conflict with principles, and after a short chat and relaxation, he will devote himself to preparing for the game.

Mexico's U17 team played in the 14 Mexican Nations Cup, and it was still a 3-0 victory, but Lin Wenlei and the team did not take the opponent lightly, and they still prepared carefully.

After four games, through a lot of data analysis, the Mexican team did not have many secrets for Huaguo U17, each player was very clear about their opponent data, and the coaches' appearance arrangements were also very targeted.

In response to the gap in the middle of the ribs of the Mexican U17 defenders, Lin Wenlei arranged Zhou Duo behind Sun Ge to bring Su Wu closer to the front line, midfielders Zhou Bo, Zheng Zhi, Fan Sheng, defenders Gan Rong, Zhou Zhaolin, Xie He, Guiyang, and goalkeeper Lu Yiming.

At the Iquique Champions Stadium on November 3, from the very beginning of the game, Huaguo U17 pushed the pace very fast. The wing-backs have not assisted often in previous games, and this one the two wings were on fire. Gan Rong and Guiyang's frequent insertions on the flanks tore the Mexican U17 defense very wide, and then in the Mexican U17 ribs to defend the weak points, Zhou Duo's flexible interspersed were threatening the Mexican goal from the beginning.

In the 11th minute, Su Wu's straight kick in front of the penalty area formed a beautiful passing and running cooperation with Zhou Duo's response, and he broke through the Mexican defense at once.

After the breakthrough, Zhou Duo crossed the middle, and Sun Ge stabbed the goal, giving Huaguo U17 the lead.

However, in the next 26 minutes, Zhou Zhaolin was competing for a header with Mexico U17 center Pedro Lozano, and his calf was stepped on by Lozano when he fell, and he couldn't hold on to the game and was replaced by Xia Jixuan.

Mexico U17 thought that Xia Jixuan had just come on the field and would not enter the state immediately, so they concentrated on breaking through his position.

But Xia Jixuan, like a divine help, will make accurate predictions every time, and then quickly play a beautiful counterattack.

In the 39th minute, it was Xia Jixuan who judged in advance that Gabriel was going to pass the ball at his feet, and suddenly broke the ball around the front, and then made a long pass to Su Wu.

Su Wu came to Xiao Luo's classic pass without looking at people in the rapid rush, and Zhou Duo, who was looking at the breakthrough forward, suddenly stuffed the ball to the feet of Sun Ge on the other side.

Sun Ge made a slight adjustment in his run, and the ball was a shot, and the ball flew into the goal after passing the goalkeeper Fedetix, who was a little ahead, 2:0.

Lin Wenlei was particularly strange at halftime that Xia Jixuan's prediction was amazing, and he began to ask as soon as they met. And Xia Jixuan always said unashamedly that he had a good head.

Su Wu couldn't stand it and exposed the truth of the matter:

"He's got a good ear, and the opponent always shouts loudly for Lozano to get ready to catch the ball, and he shouts clearly......"

Seeing that the whole team hadn't reacted for a while, Su Wu added:

"The Mexicans use Spanish, as if they specifically told Lao Xia, and he can't prevent it anymore before he goes out of the way......"

I didn't expect things to be so simple, because the Mexican players didn't pay attention to secrecy, so Xia Jixuan, who played in Mallorca, Spain, picked up a big bargain, and the whole team was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Lin Wenlei couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then confessed: 117

"This is also a brain, but you have to prevent others from reacting to take advantage of this breakthrough, and the Sheikh pays attention to the ......"

Sure enough, in the second half, it was obvious that people gave Xia Jixuan a sound to the west, and after he jumped up early, it was a low flat ball that passed to Lozano. Fortunately, Sheikh was focused, and he stuck Lozano in the first place, and then cut off the football with Xia Jixuan.

Then after a while, Xia Jixuan returned to the state of one break and one accurate, and assisted Zhou Duo again in the 18th minute of the second half and scored the third goal.

At this time, Mexico's U17 own players gave up a little and played the rest of the game hastily.

There didn't seem to be anything particularly exciting about advancing to the top 4, everyone surrounded Xia Jixuan for the first time, asking him how he could defend his opponent again, this time he didn't have to worry, and pointed directly to his head and said:

"They were very rigid, in the second half they were the opposite, shouting the header was the foot...... I'm a little embarrassed......"

This hilarious detail somewhat diluted the joy of qualifying, and they all turned their attention to the next opponent.

After advancing to the semi-finals, Huaguo U17 will move to Santiago, the capital of Chile, to face four-time world champions Nigeria at the Prea Ancha Stadium on November 6.

Nigeria is a strong team in the world junior competition, this time it has defeated Australia 6-0 and eliminated Brazil 3-0, and the No. 9 Osim has scored 7 goals in just 5 games, and is the biggest contender for Sunger's top scorer (Sunge 8 goals).

In this game, Huaguo U17 sent a combination of forwards Sun Ge and Zhao Yao, and midfielders Su Wu, Wang Jie, Fan Sheng, Zhou Bo, and Meng Xinyan. Defender line Sheikh, Xia Jixuan, Guiyang, goalkeeper Lu Yiming.

Zhou Zhaolin will miss the two most important games due to a sprained calf and a slight bone crack. However, he refused to go to the Miami Sports Medical and Rehabilitation Center for immediate treatment, and instead chose to stay with the team for conservative treatment, not wanting to miss the team's important moments.

The team played quite cautiously from the beginning, Meng Xinyan kept pestering No. 10 Nwakari, Sheikh was in charge of No. 9 Osimxiang, and stared at these two key players, and Nigeria's threat was digested for the most part.

The Nigerian players are quite physically strong, and their steps are very spaced, and they can catch up with or throw off the Chinese U17 in three or two steps, and many teams can't play the right point.

However, after the devastation of two Argentina Under-20 teams, Huaguo Under-17 learned to use the pass to avoid physical contact. In defense, it is also a layer of consumption, and the ball is broken at the end.

With a way to deal with it, and it has some effect, Huaguo U17 is not very flustered, and the kick is decent.

After 20 minutes of consumption, Nigeria's most dominant individual counter-attack and physical superiority defense did not work, but rather a little impatient.

And Huaguo U17 took advantage of a passing mistake from them, and Meng Xinyan, who got the ball, directly kicked the ball, and the next players did the same, pulling the formation very open, Meng Xinyan, Zhou Bo, Wang Jie, Su Wu, all passed with one foot, and advanced to the front court quickly and smoothly.

Su Wu greeted the ball is a push, the football flew over the Nigerian defense, and Zhao Yao, who started quickly, also passed to the middle without stopping after catching up with the football, and Sun Ge grabbed the point to push the goal.

After taking the lead, Huaguo U17 did not take the usual reluctance and resolutely retreated, and the usual team reaction was very unexpected for the Nigerian team.

From the beginning of this game, Meng Xinyan has not appeared much except for the ball from the source of the goal, but just stared at Nigeria's No. 10 Nwakari steadily, even if he withdrew to his own half. There are no outstanding steals, even if the marking is with a pull and push, and every once in a while, there is an embarrassing hug and fall, which is very disgraceful.

But this kind of small fouls continued, and the yellow card was not enough to mark, so that the Nigerian team with Nwaka as the core had no organization in attack, so they had to start fighting alone.

Even if they fought alone, Huaguo U17 failed to have a few successful one-on-one defenses, and even Su Wu and Zhou Bo, who have always played chicly, have become the background of being broken through many times.

In the eyes of the audience, it was the defenders of Huaguo U17 who were very powerful, and repeatedly made many steals or forced Nigerian players to rush to their feet, and the defense was very successful.

But the coaches and players of Huaguo U17 know that it is their physical theory that plays a role, and this joy even exceeds the joy of leading, which means that they have found a way to compete with European and American teams.

Huaguo U17, who was more and more relaxed, was not in a hurry even at the beginning of the second half, when Nigerian striker Osimxiang used a long pass, and then shook off Sheikh in two steps to score a long-range goal to equalize the score, and still organized the attack and defense with a clear eye.

In the 12th minute of the second half, Guiyang suddenly grabbed the ball when Sheikh was pestering Osim, stabbed away the football, and then pushed it to Fan Sheng with a step, and Fan Sheng made a long pass to the front.

Sun Ge jumped up and headed the ball behind the two defenders, and Zhou Duo, who had just been substituted, started in time, grabbed the football first, and then feinted to shake Nigerian goalkeeper Otrango and scored lightly.

Desperate for an equaliser, Nigeria were then hit on two counter-attacks in quick succession, one of which was overplayed by Otrango to lift Su Wu's volley over the crossbar. Once Zhou Duo received Wang Jie's inner cut in front of the goal and shot at the goalpost. These two counterattacks knocked out Nigeria's counteroffensive vigorously. In the 31st minute, Su Wu suddenly stopped passing, dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area, broke through twice in a row, and shot at the goalkeeper with his feet, and flew into the goal through Otrango's crotch.

This goal completely ignited the atmosphere of the Prea Ancha Stadium, as well as the emotions of the audience in front of the Chinese domestic television, and also broke the will of the Nigerian players.

Then the Nigerian players fell into individual brutality, and even if their coach changed two strikers in a row, it was difficult for this kind of single-handedness to threaten the Chinese Under-17 defence.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole team began to celebrate wildly.

Xia Jixuan was about to jump on Lu Yiming's back to celebrate, and Lu Yiming also ran away because of excitement, wanting to find this Guiyang hug who was saving on the goal line, but Xia Jixuan sprained his ankle when he landed because of an accidental throw.

This own goal made the team laugh and cry because of the excellent work of Hofmann's team doctors, as well as careful prevention, and there were no injuries, only two injuries but concentrated in the central defensive position.

Realizing that there was still the most important final, Xia Jixuan was so anxious that he wanted to slap himself, but Lin Wenlei stood up and comforted Xia Jixuan and Lu Yiming, who were both sobbing a little.

"What's the matter, you can't make a chicken cake except for your rotten eggs?... You have to have confidence in your teammates, if you don't have Su Xin, why don't you have confidence in Su Xin?..."

This made the team a little relieved a little, Su Xin may not have as much experience as Zhou Zhaolin and Xia Jixuan, but his physical fitness is much stronger than them, and he has also been ridiculed by Sun Ge and Zhao Yao countless times, and everyone sees his growth. Only then did he let go of his worries and resumed the joy of advancing to the finals.
