Chapter 166: Opportunity for the National Youth Team
******
The first game of the group stage of the Chinese national youth team kicks off at half past four local time, that is, at half past eleven in the evening of Beijing time, which is not very late in China.
With an hour to go before this game, the Hagéwald Stadium in Utrecht could clearly see the crowds of Chinese fans holding five-star red flags......
The cheering groups of these national youth teams are composed of international students studying in the local area and migrant workers working in the local area.
Of course, there are also those local tyrants who have come from other European countries or from China...
The entire Hagéwald Stadium is fluttering with red flags, and it is almost the home of the Chinese national youth team, and it has formed a rivalry with a large number of Turkish residents living in Utrecht...
This is something that no one expected.
At this time, the players of the Chinese national youth team just came out to warm up, and the enthusiastic Chinese fans in the stands did not hesitate to shout, even if the hoarseness did not stop, it can be seen from this simple detail how much the fans have given the national youth team.
Every touch of the ball by Iroh drew a shout from the stands, especially after a long-range shot from more than 30 meters away, and the cheers in the stands behind Yang Cheng's goal.
At the same time, the Turkish national youth team on the other side of the stadium Ostürk was not to be outdone, and shot from 25 meters away, breaking through the ten fingers of his teammates, and won a cheer from the Turkish fans in the stands...
……
……
With half an hour left in the game, the starters who warmed up on both sides also walked into the locker room under the leadership of their respective coaches.
Crawford was the last to enter the locker room, and he closed the door to the locker room, and suddenly... The cheers from the stadium became much quieter, turned around, clapped his palms, and said with a smile: "Boys, there is less than half an hour to go, you are about to start the first group stage of this World Youth Championship, are you nervous?" ”
"No, no, no, no, don't be nervous......"
Gao Lin, who was very surprised to get the first opportunity, said subconsciously.
Puff –
Gao Lin subconsciously said something, which immediately made everyone laugh, and the previous tension suddenly became much smaller......
Whoop -
At that moment, the door to the locker room was opened, and the noise outside reached the locker room again, and Crouchen and the eleven starters instinctively looked at the door.
Feng Jianming was followed by two middle-aged people, this is...
The leader of the XX Football Association!
Immediately, Crowchen's brows furrowed, and his face became gloomy, but he didn't speak, it seems that he is used to this scene, of course, this kind of forbearance is one of the compulsory courses as the head coach of the Chinese national youth team.
It's no wonder... As a head coach, among the key deployments before the game, the most annoying thing is that others come to point fingers.
Sure enough, after Feng Jianming came in, he got out of the way, and the two senior leaders of Cui Dalin and Xie Yalong seized the last time to "teach" the team members, which was more appropriate - "brainwashing".
The World Youth Championships is the first world competition that Xie Yalong has faced since he became the head of the Football Association, and like Yan Shiduo likes to mobilize before the game, Xie Yalong has also continued this fine tradition, and the content of what Xie Yalong said is no different from Lao Yan's style.
For example, "the Chinese youth team has no other way out, if you want to qualify from the group, you must fight to the death", and "you must be worthy of yourself, don't leave regrets for the World Youth Championships" and so on, there is not much new.
Compared with Xie Yalong's rhetoric, Cui Dalin's mobilization is a bit passionate and lengthy: "Like the Liverpool team in the just-concluded Champions League final, there is a spirit of not admitting defeat in the Champions League final, and the youth team must learn from the Chinese women's volleyball team and women's tennis, and fight tenaciously in the game." Valuablely, Cui Dalin mentioned the disadvantages of the game: "Utrecht is inhabited by a lot of Turks, and there must have been a large number of Turkish fans at the game... In the game, the team has to overcome the disadvantages on the pitch and get the mentality right. ”
It is worth mentioning that Cui Dalin specifically mentioned the grievances within the team: "Don't complain about each other, resolutely obey the head coach's arrangement, and resolutely stop the phenomenon ......of disunity."
And at the same time as saying these words, he suddenly walked in front of the first star of the domestic team, Iro, "The organization and the country have very high expectations for you, I hope you can not lead everyone forward together, as the most well-known player in the team, you must correct your mentality, don't ......"
Qi Dalin continued his tirade, while Crouchen looked at his watch a little impatiently, since Feng Jianming brought Xie Yalong and Dalin in, he has been talking for more than ten minutes, the key is that these words are inconsequential, and they are not helpful to the team at all.
What's even worse is that the mood of the team members who have just relaxed is tightened again...
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates...
……
******
When the staff of the organizing committee informed the Chinese national youth team that they were ready to play, Dalin was still speaking, who knows... The team members all looked listless, but he didn't find these after the wonderful speech he had just performed...
The pre-match tactics were erased by the speeches of Xie Yalong and Xu Dalin, which made Crawford very annoyed, but he couldn't vent it.
In order to make the players have a happy mood to go to the battlefield, Crouchen still said, "Boys... This was your first World Junior Championship match, and there were only a few thousand fans outside the stadium, but... Don't forget, there are hundreds of millions of fans in China as your strong backing, so... This game, we want to win! ”
……
……
This game, we want to win!
When the players lined up from the players' tunnel, their fists were clenched, and Crowchen's words kept popping up in their minds.
……
……
What they didn't know was that at the same time as their appearance, the scene at the Hagéwald Stadium was transmitted to China via a satellite signal, and the fans in front of the TV immediately couldn't hold back their excitement and howled.
At the same time, the cheering group of Chinese fans in the stands also waved the national flag in their hands vigorously, and shouted the slogan in a neat tone: "Come on, Chinese team!" Come on, Chinese team!! ”
The neat slogan is as if it has been specially matched...
When the national anthem was broadcast on the live radio, starting from the leading captain Feng Xiaoting, every other expression was very solemn, and there was a trace of uncontrollable... Agitated.
However, there are exceptions... And this exception comes from Ailuo, his expression is very normal, although it is also the first time to represent the Chinese team in a world competition, but he controls it very well, and he waits until the game starts, and then releases it...
Of course, he also understands the feelings of his teammates, after all, this is the U20 World Youth Football Championship, which is the World Cup under 20 years old.
……
……
Iello stood in the center circle with a football next to Gao Lin, while the referee stood at the top of the arc of the Turkish half, with the whistle in his mouth and his eyes on the watch on his wrist...
Beep!
The domestic fans who watched the live broadcast on Guò TV couldn't help but murmur: "Come on, boys!" ”
……
******
After the start of the game, the Chinese team paid special attention to the attack of Ailo on the left side, and the intensity of the attack was so strong that the Turkish team was a little breathless.
Although the head coach of Turkey also deliberately explained that his players must pay attention to the opponent's No. 7 (Aylo) before the game, but the gap in strength is difficult to make up for the advantage in numbers, plus Aillo's vision is very broad, as long as the opponent has more than three defenders, the ball will be transmitted, which has also caused a local leakage of the Turkish team's backline, as the main forward of the Chinese team, Chen Tao is naturally not in vain, if it is not for the main center Gao Lin's ability to seize the opportunity is too poor, In the first ten minutes, the Chinese team should have taken at least a one-goal lead.
The head coach of the Chinese team, Crouchen, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai posture, and the expression of the head coach in front of the Turkish coach's bench next to the foul was very nervous, walking back and forth non-stop, and from time to time on the sidelines with guò gestures and language, to infect the players on the field, so that they always maintain full attention.
……
In the twelfth minute, Zhou Haibing received the ball from Ailo at a distance of 25 meters from the goal, and took advantage of a powerful long-range shot, the football was held in the arms of Kirintic, who was in an accurate position, and saw that the football was directly held by the opponent's goalkeeper, Zhou Haibing did not hold his head to express regret, but turned around and gave a high thumbs up to Ailo.
A minute later, Ostuk, the core of Turkey's frontcourt attack, also faced Feng Xiaoting's defense with color, and calmly shook it off with a feint before shooting directly outside the penalty area, only slightly off the post, shocking Krauchen's cold sweat on the sidelines......
In the fifteenth minute, after Inan broke through Cui Peng's defense in the middle, Tan Wangsong saw that the situation was not good, so he shoveled the latter to the ground from behind, and then the referee blew the whistle and gave the first yellow card of the game.
In the 21st minute, the Chinese team finally found a good opportunity, when the defense turned to attack, Ailuo suddenly changed positions with Cui Peng, and ran to the left side of the Turkish team, that is, the right side of the Chinese team's attack.
The Chinese team suddenly changed positions, and Turkish left-back Tahtesleyan did not react for a while, and he only reacted when he saw a white lightning flash passing by, but it was too late.
The Chinese cheering group in the stands all stood up at this moment, and they all knew... Once Iello is on the charge, it means that the attack has been completed, and then it is highly likely that there will be a goal.
According to Crawford's pre-game deployment, as long as Iello rushes up, whether it is a midfielder or a full-back, he must actively insert it, and don't stay strong, so... This scene had a great visual impact on the fans in front of the TV!
Huang Jianxiang, who was in charge of the commentary in the studio of Hagaywald Stadium, also stood up excitedly at this moment, startling the Turkish commentator next to him
"Iroh is rushing up! This is an opportunity for the Chinese team!!! ”
