Chapter Ninety-Three: A Warm-Up Match
In the whole process of being talked about, Lin Qi can be said to have suffered an unjustified disaster. He didn't say a word, didn't do anything, and was identified as a clown.
"It's just that he was selected as one of the top ten superstars in the future, as for this......" Lin Qi was not happy, nor unhappy, he just felt that the thoughts of these media were really difficult to understand.
Lin Qi did not hold a grudge against these media, and before the start of the World Youth Championships, it was a gimmick that was needed, and he just happened to be the object of debate among the media. However, for the French club that spoke publicly, Lin Qi remembered it in his heart.
You don't need to look at him to know who that club is, who else can please Ronaldinho so much except for Ronaldo's first stop in Europe.
If you want to please Ronaldinho, that's not wrong, but you can't use him Lin Qi as a stepping stone.
Lin Qi has never been a person who is willing to be a supporting role for others, even if he is a supporting role for his idol Xiao Luo. In his previous life, he had no ability, and in this life, he must compete with Ronaldinho on the pitch!
"Since you have encountered it, how can you do it." Lin Qi has the assistance of the ball king system, and he will not be afraid to challenge those future superstars, how to say that he is also a member of the future top ten superstars.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi was quite embarrassed. Although his ranking is not high, this is already the highest honor achieved by Chinese players in the world, and even An Run was not able to be selected into the list of "Top Ten Superstars in the Future".
From this point of view, Lin Qi has once again surpassed An Run.
But. In this World Youth Championships, Lin Qi's opponent is by no means as simple as An Run. His real opponents are the future World Footballer of the Year Ronaldinho, Cambiasso, Robbie Keane, the mighty Spanish youth team!
The disturbances from the outside world did not affect Lin Qi's training, and after two days of relaxation, Lin Qi returned to his training.
With the arrival of Lin Qi, the efficiency of the entire Chinese youth team training has been significantly improved. Lin Qi's diligence will invisibly affect his teammates.
Lin Qi was selected as one of the "Top Ten Superstars of the Future", which made the members of the Chinese Youth Team quite excited, and they saw the hope of the Chinese Youth Team going further in the World Youth Championships from Lin Qi.
Lin Qi is like the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Chinese Youth Team. There he is. The players are full of confidence!
After more than a week of running-in, the Chinese youth team ushered in their first warm-up match. The warm-up match is necessary before the official competition, because if you don't participate in the competition, you won't be able to see the effect of the training camp at all. There are only competitions. It is the best standard to test the strength of the Chinese youth team.
Liu Bo chose a local youth team in South America this time - Ecuador youth team!
Ecuador's youth team failed to qualify for the World Junior Championships. You can only play soy sauce in the warm-up matches of each team. This team is not very strong. But it is definitely not weak, if it weren't for the South American teams being too perverted~ if they weren't too perverted, they would have no problem participating in the World Youth Championships.
Youth teams from South American countries have achieved more than their national teams. South America is rich in soccer talent, and the role of soccer talent in the World Youth Championship is significantly greater than that of the World Cup.
Because in addition to football talent, the World Cup is also a test of tactical experience and the team as a whole. The World Youth Championships are different, the players participating in the World Youth Championships are all young players under the age of 20, their tactical literacy is not as good as the players of the national team, and they are not experienced enough, and the overall cooperation cannot be compared with the national team.
This makes football talent even more important at the World Junior Championships.
It is precisely because of this that the World Youth Championships can become a draft stage with a huge lineup!
Although the Ecuadorian youth team was disqualified from the World Junior Championship due to the fierce competition in South America, they definitely have the quality to participate in the main event of the World Youth Championship.
At the very least, they will not be weaker than the Korean youth team.
The South Korean youth team was beaten 7:0 by the Chinese youth team in last year's Asian Youth Championships, and from this score, the South Korean youth team does not seem to be a strong team.
However, the score on the football field is not completely determined by the difference in strength between the two teams, even if the difference in strength between the two teams is large, a score of 7:0 is rare.
Therefore, the South Korean youth team swallowed seven eggs in a row, which does not mean that there is a huge difference between their strength and the Chinese youth team, it can only be said that the performance of the Chinese youth team in that game was too good, and Lin Qi's performance was too good.
Now, the Chinese youth team has arranged a team that is not much different from the strength of the South Korean youth team in the warm-up match. Liu Bo didn't make any special arrangements before the game. The warm-up match was originally to help the Chinese youth team check and fill in the gaps, and winning or losing was meaningless.
Although Liu Bo didn't say anything, the players of the Chinese youth team played very seriously in this game. They also hope to be able to play to their strengths and expose their weaknesses in this match, so that Liu Bo can better use them at the World Junior Championships.
In the end, the Chinese youth team defeated the Ecuador youth team with a score of 2:0 in this game.
Lin Qi and Lin Heng each scored a goal in this game, although Lin Heng said that he would not compete with Lin Qi for the number of goals, but when there was a chance to score, he would not miss it.
Lin Heng's ability to score goals is actually very prominent, and he also scored nearly ten goals in the Asian Youth Championship last year, if there is no monster Lin Qi, he can become the top scorer in the Asian Youth Championship with his number of goals.
Even without the glory of the top scorer, Lin Heng's goals ranked fifth in the entire history of the Asian Youth Championship, which is enough to prove Lin Heng's ability to score goals.
Of course, at the top of the list is Lin Qi. No matter how strong Lin Heng's ability to break the goal is, there is still a certain gap between him and today's Lin Qi.
Why don't you say that Lin Qi is also one of the "Top Ten Superstars in the Future" of the World Youth Championships, how can Lin Heng compare such an achievement......
At the end of a warm-up match, Liu Bo got a relatively satisfactory result. Whether it is offensive or defensive, the Chinese youth team is well organized, although there are still some rustiness in the cooperation of the players, but before the start of the World Youth Championships, these problems can be solved.
In addition to the problems, Liu Bo also gained a lot in this game.
In this warm-up match, the most satisfying performance for Liu Bo was not Lin Qi or Lin Heng, but Xu Zhen, who had just joined the Huaxia Youth Team!
The Chinese youth team proved their offensive strength at last year's Asian Youth Championships, and it is precisely because the attack is too strong that many people ignore the holes in the Chinese youth team's defense.
The reason why the Chinese youth team is strong is in attack, but Liu Bo himself knows that such a strong attack of the Chinese youth team may be able to win the Asian Youth Championship, but it may not be able to perform too well in the World Youth Championships.
The World Youth Championships are different from the Asian Youth Championships, in the World Youth Championships, in terms of offensive ability, teams like Brazil and Argentina are definitely weaker than the Chinese youth team, and even stronger than the Chinese youth team.
And if the Chinese youth team wants to defeat these strong opponents, they must make their defense also solid!
Xu Zhen fills this gap very well, as a very traditional defensive midfielder, Xu Zhen's characteristics are very similar to Chen Biao, and he is fully capable of carrying the banner of the Chinese youth team's defense.
Only a balance between offense and defense can make the Chinese youth team go further in the World Youth Championships! (To be continued......)
