Chapter 165: The group qualifys

Just as the Saudi coach was about to make a substitution, the fans on the field erupted in roaring applause. I saw Wu Lei running to the audience platform excitedly, showing everyone that he had achieved the prepared celebration action.

“Fxxk!” The Saudi coach scolded. He was right in his decision, to bring on attacking players to strengthen the attack. However, the situation on the pitch has changed slightly, that is, they have to chase two goals now.

Su Maozhen took the opportunity to replace a defender to strengthen the defensive intensity at the back. The Saudi team fought for most of the half without results, and at this time their physical strength was exhausted, and they were unable to organize a decent offensive again.

With the referee's whistle, the national youth team got off to a good start in the Asian Youth Championships. Su Maozhen walked to the field, hugged the players one by one, and high-fived them in celebration.

When he first took office, Su Maozhen always kept a straight face and was very strict with the players. Everyone is used to Ma Mingyi's appearance, his figure is a little fat, although he is also very strict, but he is inexplicably more close. Maybe it's because he's older, but he looks amiable.

Su Maozhen actually wanted to, but he was under too much pressure. The task given to him by the leader is to reach the semi-finals of this Asian Youth Championship and get a ticket to next year's World Youth Championships.

The national youth team has not entered the World Youth Championships for a long time, which can be entered by the leader with a word.

"Xiaolong, behave well normally!" Su Maozhen gave Guan Xiaolong a big bear hug.

Guan Xiaolong really wanted to say that Lao Wei only used half of his strength. But of course, he was not so frustrated, and replied politely: "Where, the coach's tactics are well arranged!" ”

When Su Maozhen heard this, he almost floated. But after all, he is a person of Uncle Guan Xiaolong's generation, so he will not be so superficial. It's just that I have added some good feelings to Guan Xiaolong in my heart, and Xiao Sample's mouth is quite good at talking.

In this match with the Saudi team, Guan Xiaolong's performance can be described as excellent. The choice of multiple touches, dribbling, and sharing the ball is significantly higher than any player on the field. Su Maozhen also realized that using Guan Xiaolong well is the key to completing the task of this Asian Youth Championship. Maybe it's more than just getting things done!

At the post-match press conference, Su Maozhen continued to keep a low profile, fully carrying forward the tradition of Chinese people making a fortune in silence, and told the media: "Winning is accidental, and the players played very well. ”

The head coach of the Saudi Arabian team had a green face, and said before the game that he wanted to win, but now he lost 1-3, and his old face couldn't hang up. The Huaguo team said that it was lucky, and he knew in his heart that it was luck or strength.

'We were a little bit unfocused in the first half and the counter-attack was sharp. In the second half we found our rhythm, but the opposition was really stubborn. The Saudi coach gritted his teeth and said.

In the next game, they have to fight hard against Japan, and if they lose to Japan again, then Saudi Arabia will say goodbye in advance in this Asian Youth Championship.

In the same group, Japan defeated Syria 1-0, and the Chinese team temporarily topped Group A with a goal difference. The victory in the first battle made the domestic newspapers a little excited. The national football team has always been unflattering, and it is basically ridiculed by various headlines. This time, everyone was brought back to the familiar rhythm and pinned hopes on the national youth team.

A certain bar will edit the video of the national youth competition for the first time and make a collection and put it on the homepage. Many fans watched the live broadcast and commented under the video for the first time.

"The performance of the national youth is super good, and I feel that there is hope again!"

"Well, Guan Xiaolong's performance is amazing!"

"Pull it down, it's not like that once. Unless the national youth wins the championship, I won't watch it. ”

"North Korea has won the championship, but the national youth can't."

"Don't say that, take your time. If this national youth can do it, the national team will also rely on it in the future! ”

"Upstairs, did you forget the 05 National Youth? Where are they now? There is hope, stop dreaming! ”

"I think Guan Xiaolong is so stupid, what kind of kick is there in the Asian Youth Championship, and he doesn't play in La Liga. Isn't he afraid that the main position will be gone after he goes back? Take advantage of the time you have to play, hurry up and play La Liga, and come back to play in the Asian Youth Championship. ”

"Damn, what's your logic upstairs? People have that strength, they want to go out for the country, it's your business, you are there BB. What did you give!? ”

"You're smashing the pen!"

"I bought a watch last year! Super wear-resistant! ”

The originally harmonious forum sparked a scolding war for some reason.

The national youth team took a short break for 2 days, and the second group stage started soon.

Syria, who lost the first game, also wanted to fight for qualification, so this game decided to fight the national youth to the death.

In the history of confrontation between Syria and China, China basically does not have any advantage. The opponent's physical advantage is very obvious, and it has always been difficult for Chinese teams to play West Asia. Especially in recent years, against Qatar, Syria, and Uzbekistan, they have all been surrounded and beaten.

However, Syria could not have imagined that the second game of the Asian Youth Championship announced their end. Guan Xiaolong sent a precise straight plug in the midfield, and Wu Lei formed a single-knife momentum against offside and scored the ball.

Then Guan Xiaolong assisted Dai Hong to score through a corner kick, and the Chinese team defeated Syria 2-0 in the second game and qualified for the group ahead of schedule.

Saudi Arabia was deflated in the first battle, and Japan was inextricably linked in the second battle. But they must not have looked at the yellow calendar this time, a little enough to memorize, and were killed by the Japanese midfield.

Japan also qualified from the group ahead of schedule with two 1-0 games. Saudi Arabia and Syria both fought in the war, and the two teams met in the final round and fought for honor.

The strong performance of the national youth team has attracted a lot of attention from the domestic media. "Football Weekly" wrote an article praising it: "The national youth team played with a long-lost spirit, and the boys on the field were full of hard work, which made people can't help but place high hopes on them." ”

In the football forum, everyone also unanimously recognized the performance of the national youth team. I think that as long as I follow this level, even if I am eliminated, I don't blame the players.

With the third round just around the corner, the coaches of both sides seem to be calm, but they both want to beat their opponents in the final round.

The current leader of Group B is Uzbekistan, followed by North Korea. They are in the same situation as Group A, and they are also the top two who qualify early and compete for the top spot in the final round.

If the Chinese team defeats Japan in the final round, Uzbekistan will win again. Then the first opponent of Huaguo's knockout round will be the North Korean team, which is more beneficial to Huaguo. Because Huaguo's record against Uzbekistan has been poor in recent years, he wants to try his best to avoid Uzbekistan.

Japan doesn't matter, they don't really want to hit either Uzbekistan or North Korea. North Korea has an enmity with them, and they are more axial, and the game must not be desperate. The Uzbek body is relatively strong, which is something that the diminutive Japanese team does not want to touch.

But if they lose to the Chinese team, then they can't accept it. Therefore, in the final round, the Chinese team will try to win Japan, because the Uzbek side has a high probability of winning North Korea. And Japan will also do its best to kick China, and neither side will spare strength.
