Hello everyone, I am your old friend Liu Jianhong, today CCTV5 brings you the Chinese youth team U18 game, the last game of the group stage, their opponent is the mysterious division Croatia team.

Why are they mysterious? Because neither the youth team nor the national team has played against them, we don't know anything about him, and even if they are not very strong, we must not take them lightly.

Let's take a look at the group points first, the Chinese team is temporarily ranked first with 1 win and 1 draw and 4 points, the Japanese team is also ranked 2nd with 1 win and 1 draw, Croatia is ranked 3rd with 1 win and 1 loss, and Denmark is ranked at the bottom with 2 losses.

Interestingly, if the Chinese team loses this game, Croatia will get three points and successfully squeeze out China and Japan to qualify.

The game was held in the Guangzhou Gymnasium, which is located in the original Baiyun Nursery section of Guangzhou Xinguangcong Highway, the project covers an area of about 240,000 square meters, of which about 80,000 square meters are used for the construction of sports training halls, 60,000 square meters are used for sports parks, 80,000 square meters are used for athletes' villages, and 20,000 square meters are municipal planning roads. The construction area of the project is about 170,000 square meters.

Designed by French architect Paul Andrew, the architects cleverly blended the concept of human-centered and back-to-nature design, and the three venues were designed in a sunken design, mostly underground, so as to facilitate the movement of visitors and make the buildings place in a looming and idyllic nature, integrating with the adjacent beautiful ecological environment. The whole building integrates many technologies and design ingenuity, including: flexible and diverse seating organization forms, multi-functional intelligent buildings, difficult, new and beautiful roof structures, and novel and comfortable air conditioning design.

From 1999 to 2014, there have been 15 spring and autumn seasons, and the football stadium built in 2013 is even larger, attracting many commercial competitions and holding them here. This is the pride of Guangzhou, and they hosted the 9th China Games, the designated venue for table tennis and volleyball in the Asian Games. Today they will welcome a mystical master. I hope this blessed land can bring good luck to the Chinese youth team.

The audience couldn't wait to look forward to the start of the game, the red five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the sound of big drums sounded everywhere, what is this for? It's all turned into a concert.

As usual, two players or senior coaches will be invited to talk about the game with me during the live broadcast of this Youth World Cup.

The mystery will be revealed.

I was fortunate enough to have a football beauty come to the scene. Fans who follow women's football may be no stranger, she is Han Duan. When she was young, she was a Chinese striker when she wore a jersey, and she was a temperamental beauty when she took off her jersey.

Han Duan is a cold-blooded killer in front of the goal, the accuracy of shooting, and the ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal are outstanding, the ability to take the ball and assist with his back is very strong, although his height is not very high, but the header is very prominent, the body is very strong, there are many muscles on her body, when she stands, the ball is generally very good, her thighs are very thick, very powerful, the thighs are muscular, the swing is powerful, very muscular, the volley speed is extremely fast, the shooting is very powerful, the calves are thick and slender, the Achilles tendon is developed, the explosiveness is prominent, the legs are full, and there is meat, Stout and strong, it helps to exert strength. The thick thighs, explosive calves and strong buttock muscles create Han Duan's powerful shots, coupled with extremely accurate shots, so it is extremely difficult for the opposing goalkeeper to guard.

Her left and right foot skills are quite balanced, most players only have one foot to kick the ball well, but her left foot is also very powerful, which is inseparable from her usual hard training, but I have to admit that Han Duan's feet are also very talented, it can be said that she was born with a pair of football players' feet, Han Duan's feet are not big, but they are very slender, the instep is very flat, the arch of the foot is very high, the heel is very round, plus the powerful toes, these feet are simply born for football.

With hard training and outstanding talent, she participated in three major competitions in 2006 and led the Chinese women's football team to win the Asian Cup championship and the Asian Youth Championship with her stable performance.

Later, she led the team to the top three in the Women's World Cup, reaching the peak state of professional players.

Han Duan didn't expect the host to give her such a high evaluation, Han Duan was a little nervous, his face was hot, he picked up the microphone and tried to speak softly.

Brother Jianhong is worthy of being the host of CCTV and can speak well. I'm not that good anymore! The words were soft, and it was not at all obvious that he was from the front line.

The other is Shao Jiayi, the idol of the teenagers, known as China's Bailey. After that, he was selected for the national team. He led the team to World Cup qualification under the magical coach Milou* and joined the Bundesliga in the 2005-2006 season.

Thank you for the compliment, I hope today's boys are better than me, Shao Jiayi spoke quickly without a trace of hesitation.

With five minutes to go, let's take a look at the starting line-ups.

China

Liu Qing

Zhang Shun, Zhang Dongming, He Wei

Zhao Wei

Su Er, He Zhen, Zhao Kun, Zhang Ming, Li Xi

Wang Hai

The head coach put on a 5-1-3-1 formation, putting the captain Liu Qing in the front, giving him free play, five defenders, plus a midfielder. The six-man defensive system has left Croatia's forwards in the dust. Gao Dao focuses on defense, uses the opponent's forward pressure to attack, waits for opportunities to find out the gap in the back line, and plays a beautiful counterattack, high! It's really high!

Croatia

Bajic, Bekavachi, Milic

Posavic, Ostlek, Grapovac

Birjan, Kapan, Bagdur, Viduka

Bartolec

Coach Zlatko Kranical is well aware of their situation and must win this match or not advance to the next round.

4-3-3 is a seemingly balanced offensive and defensive formation, but it contains killing opportunities. Six attacking players up front are enough to disrupt the rhythm of the opposing defenders, and then hand the ball to the striker again and again. A battle of offense and defense went on quietly with the referee's whistle.

The referee for this match was Gagelmann from Germany. The linesman was French.

The atmosphere on the field is like soaking a bowl of noodles, which smells fragrant, and the more you bubble, the more soluble it becomes. With only a few minutes to play, Croatia captain Milic took the ball in the half-time with his excellent tackling ability, and like a lion, he rushed into the box. Defender Li Xi blocked his way. No chance! The defenders of the Chinese team also posted up, and the defender Suer simply kept an eye on the defense.

He was very calm and didn't waste a single chance, he lifted his foot and shot and the ball fell on the defender and went out of bounds! Croatia won the first corner of the game.

Posavic is a player with great footwork, there is no doubt about it! The corner kick he took happened to fall on the edge of the penalty area not far from the goal, and Wang Hai jumped up! Never let the ball go in!

Milic had been waiting for a long time, and rushed forward without hesitation, a great chance to score, missed once, and there was no next time.

With a snap, the two fell to the ground. Blood spurted out of the wound in an instant, and the scene that everyone didn't want to see happened when goalkeeper Wang Hai was injured and left the field.

Milic, a member of the opposing team, stood up, wiped the blood on his head with a tissue, and stood on the field insistingly, refusing to be treated by the team doctor after a simple bandage. , the game resumed.

Han Bo replaced the injured goalkeeper, and the Croatian side continued to attack, and all the forward pressure controlled the midfield with lightning speed. The ball was forced to be passed backwards between the defenders.

What to do? The ball could not be handed to Liu Qing's feet. Looking at the Chinese team's goal from afar and being in danger of the Croatian team again and again, he actually defended himself.

Compression formation, return defense, return defense! Head coach Gao Hongbo delivered a message loudly from the sidelines.

In the 18th minute, the Croatian teenager suddenly shot from a distance. hit the door frame and flew out of bounds. The defenders stared intently at the Croatian attacking players. Don't dare to be sloppy, don't dare to hesitate.

In the 20th minute, the Croatian team attacked again, Grapovac's fantastic pass, tearing through the Chinese team's side line, Milic broke through with the ball, disrupting the rhythm of the defenders, and suddenly many attacking players poured out in front of the goal.

Milic did not pause, and calmly pushed the ball, the ball flew straight into the dead corner, and Han Bo forgot the ball and sighed. The ball is in!

Hey, the Chinese team has conceded another goal. The complete defense could not stop the magical Milic, and the god-like performance taught China a good lesson, even if the Chinese team tried its best, it could not get rid of the fate of conceding the ball after all.

No, things are still turning around. The linesman raised the flag, the referee signaled offside, and the goal was invalidated. Here's the chance for the Chinese team! Thank God! Lads, don't give up, everyone is still on the starting line.

Croatia's captain Milic could not accept such a decision, it was a goal that was bought with blood. How can you say that if you don't, you won't have it? He grabbed referee Gagelman by the collar and demanded an explanation.

The German is not a vegetarian either, and the referee who has seen many big games is not afraid of this kind of pulling, and directly shows him a yellow card to warn him, and the latter roars angrily and returns to the field to continue playing.

The game restarted, the atmosphere became full of taste, the physical contact between the two sides gradually increased, and the referee's whistle kept ringing. The Chinese team's passing run had an effect.

More passes are empty, only passes and no shots. Croatia became more and more impatient with the aim of consuming a lot of physical strength of the opposing players, and fortunately no one was injured in another flying tackle, and the referee showed a second yellow card to warn the Croatian players.

The good times did not last long, even if they occupied the world, people and positional environment, Wang Hai's injury doomed China to lose the goal, and sure enough, when the game entered the first half of extra time, the Croatian team won a free kick in an excellent position.

Posavic walked to the free-throw line and his excellent footwork allowed him to take all the free throws.

Hit the goal vigorously, and the ball was saved by Han Bo. Milic stepped up again, first with a header from a distance, and then after receiving a clever pass from an opposing player, he volleyed hard. The ball went straight to the goal like a cannonball, and the ball went in. 1-0, the Chinese team could not escape the doom and was on the verge of danger again.

After the goal, he slapped his chest with both hands, sharp eyes, and laughed heartily. cast a deep shadow on the Chinese team.
