Chapter 50: The Championship Game
After advancing to the final, Gao Gui began to prepare his tactical deployment, after all, this is the first time he has coached the team to play such an important game in the tournament, the good news is that Feng Xiao returned from suspension, and on the back line, he can arrange as he wants, which is very helpful for defending a strong team like Brazil.

After thinking about it again, he decided to use a lineup of four defenders, after all, this offensive and defensive balance, and in the midfield, he withdrew Zhang Qing a little again, playing a position similar to the forward and second striker, which can not only protect the thickness of the midfield, but also insert it when attacking, which is a foolproof strategy.
Before the game, domestic fans unanimously hoped that their team would defeat the powerful Brazil, which could be regarded as a good vision, and the famous Brazilian legend Pele was optimistic about the Chinese national youth team, which was very bad news for the national youth team.
Because as we all know, whichever team he supports, which team is unlucky, as has always been, many fans have prayed for him not to support the national youth team, how good it is to support his national youth team.
The players ignored these things and put their minds on preparing for the game.
In China, Yang Qiongying took Li Xiaogang and Chen Lin to Zhang Qing's parents' house together, and several people were ready to stay up late to watch the game, while Zhou Xiaoyu, who was far away in a foreign country, had a suitable jet lag and was also ready to stay in front of the TV to watch their game.
For a while, people came and went on the streets and alleys, and everyone talked about this game and Zhang Qing's performance.
Zhang Qing played well in the game, and Ricardo, Hazard, Shaheen and several others tied for the World Youth Championships Most Valuable Player candidates, of which he and Ricardo are currently the most popular candidates, after all, the selection of MVP is based on individual performance, and the other depends on the team's results, the teams of the two have reached the finals, and it is possible that the final results of the game will determine who of the two can be elected as the Most Valuable Player.
So although it was harmonious on the surface, in fact, the game was already full of gunsmoke before it started.
Zhang Qing also communicated with Ricardo before the game, and the two of them didn't have any feeling of competition, because they usually had a good relationship, so they just teased each other before the game, and they felt that the laughter was over.
Seeing that the game was about to start, at the pre-match press conference, Coach Gao and the coach of the Brazilian youth team attended together, both of them praised each other first, and then talked about their own badness, all of which were routines, which made media friends really boring to listen to.
The game is about to start, and the two sides announced the lineup, the goalkeeper Wang Ruolin of the national youth team, the defenders Su Yue, Liu Dapeng, Zhao Tian, Feng Xiao, the forward line Cai Kang, Lin Shufei, Han Shan, Gao Lefei, Zhang Qing, and the forward line Liu Songren.
On the Brazilian side, Zhang Qing is familiar with Ricardo, and he doesn't know the other players.
The game begins with the entry of both sides.
After a coin toss, it was decided that the national youth team would kick off first.
After kick-off, the national youth team quickly began to attack, organized by Han Shan, and kept distributing the ball to the side, trying to break through the side.
On the Brazilian side, it is to stabilize their defense first.
After about 20 minutes of the game, the Brazilian team slowly controlled the rhythm on the field and began to organize an effective attack, while the national youth team only had defensive strength.
Ricardo played a role in the entire Brazilian lineup, and he was the backbone of the team because he was threading the needle alone in the entire offensive line, constantly running actively.
And the national youth team also sent someone to defend him, because Zhang Qing still knows him well, so Director Gao has also been specially deployed before.
I saw Ricardo break through with the ball after receiving the ball, shook the defense of Cai Kang and Gao Lefei, and came to the front of the penalty area.
Seeing their striker Ade cutting forward, Ricardo tucked in a through ball.
After receiving the ball, Ade didn't wait for the ball to stop and shot straight at the goal.
Although there were Zhao Tian and Feng Xiao's pinch defense next to him, Wang Ruolin also made a save, but Ade's shot was full of power, and the ball went into the goal after touching Wang Ruolin's hand.
0:1, less than half of the first half, the national youth team has fallen behind, and the Brazilian youth team has firmly controlled the initiative on the field.
The Brazilian fans were delighted and sang and danced the samba that is unique to Brazil.
Director Gao didn't say a word on the spot, and once again took out a small notebook and recorded it.
The game continued, the national youth team was ready to press up for a counterattack, Zhang Qing also changed from the right side position to the forward position, and Gao Lefei moved slightly closer to the right side.
This tactic is already a common tactic of the national youth team, and it has been used repeatedly in previous games, and the players have also understood how to adjust their positions every time, how to run, etc., which is a relatively tacit understanding.
After the adjustment, within a few minutes, the national youth team launched several attacks and entered the penalty area of the Brazilian team, but unfortunately the defense was relatively solid, plus two people to mark Zhang Qing, so the national youth team did not succeed.
At this time, the national youth team was fighting a positional battle, except for Zhao Tian and Liu Dapeng, all of whom attacked the hinterland of the other party.
I saw that the opponent's Lucas broke the ball from Cai Kang's feet in the middle, and then passed it directly to Ricardo, who was ambushed near the halfway line.
After Ricardo got the ball, he broke through with the ball directly and rushed towards Liu Dapeng.
When Liu Dapeng saw it, he hurriedly grabbed a shovel, thinking that he would directly sabotage his attack, because apart from himself, there was only Zhao Tian alone, and the situation was very critical.
As a result, Ricardo pulled lightly, then took advantage of the situation, kicked the ball out from under Liu Dapeng's feet, and then strode the ball, directly avoiding his tackle.
At this time, Zhao Tian was the only one on the back line, and the other players were retreating backwards, while on the Brazilian side, everyone was also defending in various positions, and only Ricardo was left in front.
1 against 1, the current situation is Ricardo against Zhao Tian.
Ricardo drove straight forward with the ball without any loss of pace.
And Zhao Tian fought and retreated, and slowly followed him back, because at this time, he didn't dare to kick easily, if there was no steal, there was a large open area behind him, and the ball was basically lost.
So he kept following Ricardo, watching his pace, ready to find a moment to get off his feet or wait for the rest of the team to return to position and defend together.
But who knows that Ricardo is running faster and faster, his pace and rhythm are very well adjusted, although the speed of dribbling is not the fastest in this tournament, and many people may be faster than him, but this rhythm does make it impossible for you to get the ball with your feet.
After all, kicking is not a competition for speed, speed is only one of the advantages.
While speaking, Ricardo had already come to the penalty area, Zhao Tian saw that if he didn't stop it at this time, entering the penalty area and stopping it again might cause a penalty, so he saw an opportunity and waited for the moment when Ricardo took the ball, when the ball was the farthest away from his body, he went directly to his feet.
