Chapter Ninety-Five: More Pressure
The semi-finals are over, and both teams have been given three days to prepare.
The Chinese youth team did not let the players rest, and started training early the next day. After watching the Japan youth team play, the players felt a lot of pressure, and now only training can help them forget about that pressure and try to move forward.
When the Chinese youth team started training, China was already lively, and major media reported on yesterday's semi-finals.
“7:0! The Chinese youth team easily abused the South Korean youth team! "This is the headline news in the "Football Newspaper", the Chinese youth team broke into the final of the Asian Youth Championship, this is a major event in the whole of China, and the newspaper media will definitely write about it.
"The Chinese youth team showed great combat effectiveness in yesterday's game, facing the South Korean youth team that continued to provoke, the Chinese youth team defended solidly, sought a counterattack, and in the 11th minute, they used a corner kick opportunity to break the goal of the Korean youth team."
In the next 19 minutes, the Chinese youth team scored four goals in a row, which completely collapsed the South Korean youth team! The final score is 7:0! The Chinese youth team contributed a hearty goal battle to the fans. They also broke the curse of not winning against South Korea and entered the final of the Asian Youth Championship in a historic way! ”
"This is the victory of the Chinese youth team, and it is also the victory of our Chinese football! After more than ten years of hard work, Chinese football finally saw the hope of rising......"
"Football News" focused on Chinese football, and while he praised the Chinese youth team, he was more about showing that Chinese football is about to rise.
Even, the "Football Newspaper" also directly released a bold statement.
"The Chinese youth team will definitely win the championship of this Asian Youth Championship!
"Our opponent in the final is the Japanese youth team, and the Japanese youth team in this Asian Youth Championship is very strong, and they have the quality to win the championship. It's a pity that they met the Chinese youth team that was able to beat the Korean youth team 7:0, such a Chinese youth team is invincible! ”
The 7:0 victory of the Chinese youth team made the Chinese media very proud, and they no longer take the Japanese youth team seriously.
"Liu Bo and his team will definitely win the first championship trophy for our Huaxia in three days!" "Football News" said categorically, as if the Chinese youth team had won the championship of the Asian Youth Championship.
The report in the "Football Newspaper" made the fans full of confidence in the Chinese youth team.
The Chinese youth team can defeat the South Korean youth team 7:0, and if you want to deal with a little Japan, it's not like playing. This is the thinking of the fans, who feel that the Chinese youth team will definitely be able to easily win Little Japan in the final.
Other newspapers and media followed suit one by one, and they all praised the feat of the Chinese youth team in a 7-0 victory over the South Korean youth team, and then focused on Chinese football.
“7:0! The Chinese youth team started the first battle of the rise of Chinese football! They will bring our first championship to Huaxia! - "North China Sports"
“7:0! The Chinese youth team announced the rise of Chinese football with a big victory, and Chinese football officially surpassed South Korean and Japanese football, and the champion of this Asian Youth Championship is ours! - "Sea Sports"
“7:0! The Chinese youth team abused the South Korean youth team, and they will abuse Japan again to win the first championship of Chinese football in the international competition! - "Central China Football"
These newspapers are football newspapers with great influence in China, and they represent the trend of the media, and almost all the Chinese media regard this Chinese youth team as the hope of the rise of Chinese football.
They are full of desire and confidence for the first championship of Chinese football!
These media did not realize that they were really too proud, too optimistic, and too confident at the same time. They put the hope of the rise of the entire Chinese football team on this Chinese youth team.
The Chinese youth team can no longer represent themselves, they represent the entire Chinese football.
It seems that if the Chinese youth team can't win the championship, then Chinese football can't rise. This invisibly created more pressure on the Chinese youth team.
When Liu Bo saw these reports, he scolded angrily directly.
"Ge Laozi, let's talk about these big truths one by one, why don't you analyze how the Chinese youth team won the championship?" Liu Bo slammed several newspapers in his hand to the ground.
This scene did not escape the eyes of the players, these players know that domestic fans must have high hopes for them, especially after the 7-0 victory, fans must firmly believe that the Chinese youth team can win the championship of this Asian Youth Championship.
"If we lose this game, how do we explain it to the fans at home?"
"If we lose, does it mean that Chinese football has not risen?"
"If we really lose, we should all be shameless to face the Chinese fans."
The players thought like this, and the expressions on their faces were gloomy. They watched the Japanese team's games, and they didn't have much confidence to beat them, they just adjusted their mentality, actively prepared for the game, and fought for him.
However, now that they have read the reports in these newspapers, they find that this game seems to be impossible to win without winning. However, how can this special win, the Japanese youth team is not a team like the Korean youth team that will be abused casually.
Their tactical literacy and their exquisite cooperation made the players of the Chinese youth team dare not be careless.
Just when the players were feeling a little helpless, suddenly, there was a loud commotion outside the training ground.
"We want a champion!"
"For the sake of Chinese football, please be sure to win the championship!"
"The Chinese youth team will win!"
It was the loud shouting of Chinese fans outside the training ground of the Chinese youth team, and some fans even sang the song "Oriental Dragon" again.
Dragons, dragons, only want to support you.
Only dreams, no violence.
Dragons, dragons, forever for you.
Pursue victory and never give up.
This song reached the ears of the Chinese youth team players at this time, not only did not make them feel any enthusiasm, but made the pressure on their shoulders even heavier.
The glory of the country, the high hopes of the media, the expectations of the fans, all of this is like an oven, roasting the players of the Chinese youth team on the stove.
The scorching sensation was unbearable for the players.
The morning's training was over, and under this tremendous pressure, the players had no intention of training. Their condition was so poor that Liu Bo had no choice but to end his training early.
On the way back to the hotel, the Chinese youth team was silent. No one spoke, not even Lin Qi didn't say a word. Lin Qi is recognized as having a big heart and thick nerves, and he didn't frown when he faced the eighty thousand blue devils.
Now, however, he was silent.
Even though Lin Qi was a human being in two lifetimes, he had never experienced such a scene. As the finals approached, Lin Qi only felt that he was getting more and more nervous, and his mood was becoming more and more urgent.
"For Chinese Football......
"For the sake of journalists......
"For the sake of the fans......
"Did we win the championship to meet their expectations?" Lin Qi lay on the bed frowning and pondering. Thinking of the media reports and the cheers of the fans outside the training ground, Lin Qi felt almost out of breath.
Facing the strong Japanese youth team, Lin Qi also has no confidence. But why are fans and the media putting so much pressure on them?
In fact, the media and fans of Huaxia did not know that their actions would make the players of the Chinese youth team so uncomfortable. The whole of China has never experienced such a big scene, and they don't have any experience in the finals. They thought that this would increase the confidence of the players, they thought that this would make the players full of fighting spirit, and they thought that this would make the Chinese youth team invincible.
They also thought that this was to show their greatest support for the Chinese youth team!
Their intentions are good, but their approach is very wrong. The Japanese media and fans have done a very good job of giving the Japanese youth team players a very relaxed and comfortable environment to prepare for the game.
The Japanese youth team has played in many finals, and they have the experience to deal with this kind of big scene. Unlike the Chinese Youth Team, the current Chinese Youth Team is like a helpless child, and even the courage to face his parents is about to be lost.
"Can't we really lose this game?" Lin Qi asked himself.
"Yes, you can't lose! But the reason why we can't lose is not because of the expectations of the country and the fans, but because we want the championship, we want to win the championship, and we participate in the Asian Youth Championship for the championship! ”
When Lin Qi thought of this, a terrifying light suddenly emanated from his eyes.
At this moment, he felt a sudden lightness in his body, and the pressure gathered on his body suddenly disappeared. The rest is only his desire to win~ and only his desire to win!
Yes, we can't lose, just because we want to win, we want the championship!
After Lin Qi figured this out, he actually fell asleep......
While Lin Qi was immersed in a sweet dream, Liu Bo was lying in his room, his eyes wide, looking at the ceiling in confusion.
He saw the state of the players, and the pressure on him was a hundred times heavier than that of the players.
He tried to get the players to prepare for the final with a positive attitude, but he didn't expect it to be such a result. He asked the players to watch the Japanese youth team play so that the players could face up to their opponents and prepare for the game with a positive and serious attitude.
However, the strength of the Japanese youth team in the semi-finals put a lot of pressure on the players. This pressure is nothing, and it can be turned into motivation.
However, today's newspaper media have completely shattered Liu Bo's confidence. The pressure of the players is constantly amplified under the rendering of the newspaper media and the cries of the fans.
Until now, this pressure has been too heavy for the Chinese youth team to bear......
