The 1/4 finals of the Chinese national youth team and the Spanish national youth team are to be played at half past seven in the evening of the 24th local time in the Netherlands, that is, at half past two in the evening of Beijing time on the 25th.

On this day, the locations and boxes of football-related theme bars have long been booked, and those fans who have not booked boxes or seats can only ask their good friends to buy some beer, peanuts and other snacks to see at home, but the atmosphere at home is completely incomparable to that of theme bars.

Before the match between China and Spain, a quarter-final - Italy and Morocco was played at the Hagéwald Stadium in Utrecht, and it is worth mentioning that there was a shadow of a Chinese in this game - Liu Tiejun, the second assistant referee of this game.

Of course, the match also attracted Chinese fans who could not rush to Tilburg to watch the game in Utrecht.

The game was 1-1 in 90 minutes of regular time, and in the following 30 minutes of extra time, both sides scored an incredible goal to make it 2-2, and finally had to go to a brutal penalty shootout.

In five rounds of penalty shootouts, the Italian youth team conceded three penalties, while Morocco only conceded one, so Morocco defeated Italy 4-2 on penalties and 6-4 on aggregate to become the first team to advance to the semi-finals.

Since the Chinese national youth team and the Spanish national youth team are the two teams with the strongest offensive ability in the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, the fans who attracted the stadium are naturally the most games since the start of the game, it is said that there are many Dutch local fans who booked tickets for this game before this game, and it is interesting that the fans on both sides of the game have received less than half of the tickets of the Dutch local fans.

On the other hand, the match attracted more attention than the other South American derby that took place the next day, compared to the quarter-finals between Brazil and Argentina.

Coupled with the deliberate publicity of the Dutch media before the game, as well as the relationship between Aiello and Spanish football, it is enough to attract the attention of enough fans, and more importantly, the Chinese national youth team has slashed the runner-up, third runner-up, and third place in the European Youth Championship all the way from the group stage to the quarterfinals, and now it is the turn of Spain, the champion of the European Youth Championship, so this time - everyone's taste has been suspended.

Naturally, the attention to this game has also come up.

……

……

The shouts over the Willem II Stadium have not stopped since the players of both sides entered the warm-up, and this game is indeed worthy of being called the final staged in advance, and the fans in the stands are full of fans to know how much attention this game has, and there are many TV stations around the world that broadcast this game live.

"CCTV, good morning, you are watching the second quarter-final of the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands...... The starting lineup of the Chinese team is like this, the goalkeeper is still No. 16 Yang Cheng, the four defenders are Zheng Tao, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Ming and Tan Wangsong, the midfield diamond position, the front is Chen Tao, the last is Zhao Xuri, the two sides are Zhou Haibing and Hao Junmin, and the two forwards are Ai Luo and Gao Lin......"

Taking advantage of the time just after kick-off, Huang Jianxiang first reported the starting lineups of both sides.

"This game is the first time in the history of the Chinese national youth team to reach the quarterfinals, the first quarterfinals, that is to say, before this game, these young men in front of them have set a new record for the national youth team in the World Youth Championships, do you remember what the team's first star Iroh said before the first game? He said that his goal was to win the championship, and it was not until the quarterfinals that I believed what he said, he led the national youth team step by step, three consecutive wins from the group stage, and the 1/8 finals defeated the German team 4:1 to reach the quarterfinals, which means that they are one step closer to the semifinals......"

"Now it's Spain's number 16 David Silva, who is also Ello's team-mate in Valencia, so they have a very good relationship......

In Huang Jianxiang's gushing reports, the game on the field has reached the second minute.

At that moment, Iello helped the team to defend and knocked David Silva, who was dribbling the ball forward, to the ground, which was also a greeting to his friend and club team-mate.

"Hey...... David, long time no see. ”

As soon as David Silva was put to the ground, Iroh smiled and walked over to help him up, greeting at the same time.

David Silva just saw a white shadow with the ball, he was put on the ground, just about to get angry was helped up, raised his head and saw a smiling Iroh, as the saying goes--don't hit the smiling person, David Silva didn't care, stood up along Iro's outstretched right hand, and then said: "It's really been a long time and not cheap......"

Ailo grinned again, did not continue to reply, turned around and walked to his position, his task in this game is to score, this time back to defend is just to say hello to his good friend, after the greeting is over, he will naturally return to his position, waiting for the opportunity.

……

……

As the offensive core of the Chinese team, there will naturally be no fewer people defending him, but there is no full-time defensive midfielder in this Spanish national youth team, and Elo's running position is basically not fixed, and he never stays in one place for too long, which also leads to Spain's inability to attack with all his might, and even Fabregas, the core of the midfield, has to take care of defense, which also shows one thing.

Because often in the knockout round, no one can afford to lose, so they will follow the rules and play the game, and will not blindly attack with all their might.

******

As soon as Ilo got the ball, three Spanish defenders gathered around him.

Jose Enrique, Juan Forlan and Cesc Fabregas.

However, Iroh didn't entangle with them, and he didn't think about them, because he had already seen that Chen Tao in front of him had reached out for the ball, and more importantly, there was no defender around him, so he passed the football over.

And he continued to run forward, which is the tactical requirement of the Chinese team, to keep running, especially the offensive players in the front court, the running position must be flexible and changeable.

Except for Cesc Fabregas in the middle who ran over to defend Chen Tao, the rest of Jose Enrique and Juan Forlan chased after Ailo, knowing that the Chinese in front of them was the attacking core of this Chinese team - the finisher!

As soon as Chen Tao received the ball, he encountered the joint defense of Fabregas and Zampat, for Chen Tao also suffered such a defense, he himself was not surprised, with the World Youth Championships, his performance became more and more stable, and the defensive pressure was increasing, but he was not timid, and still maintained a normal mentality in the face of the defense of the two, trying to ensure that the football was not lost, and at the same time used his personal ability to pass the ball to Hao Junmin on the right.

Then he continued to run forward, ready to pick up Hao Junmin.

After four or five feet like this, the football passed to Iello's side again.

This time, the defenders against Juan Forlan and Jose Enrique did not pass the ball again, but pulled the ball with his right foot to the left, and at the same time leaned to the left, Juan Forlan also moved to his right side because of this action, but only one step, because he quickly realized that it was a fake move by Iro.

Sure enough, Iroh's body leaning to the left pulled back, and then his right ankle crutched, and the outside of his foot slammed the ball to the right, and his body also started, breaking through to the right side of his body!

Juan Forlan thought that Elo was a feint and only moved half a step towards the left side of his body, so when he found out that Elo had really broken through, he did not follow at the first time, but it was Jose Enrique, a full-back from Zhengyin, who followed.

"Pretty dangle shot!"

Jose Enrique spotted the ball at Elo's feet, then slammed his body out, took the lead with his right foot, and fell to the ground to tackle!

What he didn't expect was that Iroh reacted faster than him, poked his toes and sent the ball away, Gao Lin had been waiting there for a long time, and then his body jumped up to avoid José Enrique's tackle.

Gao Lin understood, leaned against Alexis, cushioned the ball with the arch of his foot, and the football rolled in the direction of Iroh's run.

Juan Forlan and Cesc Fabregas, who reacted the fastest at the moment, rushed towards Iello one after another, hoping to stop the ball before him, but the ideal is rich, the reality is skinny, Gao Lin's goal is very good, Ailo does not need to adjust, he can shoot directly!

Seeing that Iroh was about to shoot directly, Alexis also dropped Gao Lin and rushed towards Iro.

Iello then came with a long-range shot that didn't hit anyone, not even goalkeeper Bill Ribas, but the ball didn't go in.

The ball grazed the upright and flew off the baseline.

At the same time, Aillo's threatening shot also scared Spain coach Seth into a cold sweat.

……

……

In the eighth minute, Cesc Fabregas launched an offensive in the middle, and made a long pass directly to David Silva on the right side of the arc in the middle circle, who used feints to shake Zhou Haibing and Tan Wangsong one after another after getting the ball, and then forced a cross before Zhao Ming on the right penalty line.

Zampat grabbed the second drop point, and then continued to pass the ball to David Silva on the right side, who crossed directly, this time Llorente stuck the position first and pushed to the football, but due to the pressure of Feng Xiaoting, he did not top the angle, and the football was easily obtained by Yang Cheng.

The two sides did not invest too many troops in the first ten minutes, but just tested each other according to the pre-game requirements of each independent coach, but the test effect of both sides was not good.

Spain mainly relied on overall advancement, while the Chinese team initially only used Aylo's individual ability to test Spain's defensive level.

Seeing this, Krauchen has a general understanding of Spain's tactical thinking in this game, Spain's defense relies on the overall defense, and the attack relies on the form of David Silva and Llorente to find opportunities to break the deadlock.
