Chapter 206: Qatar World Youth Championship (Part II)
Located in the south of Doha, the Al Arabi Stadium is the largest multi-purpose stadium in Qatar, which is fully functional and well-equipped, which can not only host outdoor football, rugby and track and field matches, but also meet the needs of basketball, table tennis and other competitions in the annex adjacent to the stadium.
At this time, the stadium is going on for the third and fourth finals of the Qatar World Youth Championships, and since it has nothing to do with this article, I will not repeat too much about the previous games, and jump the time directly to the present.
"Antonio, it seems that your prediction has been mistaken this time, and it is not Spain and Brazil that have entered the final of Zuihou." Cruyff said with a smile.
"Mr. Cruyff, I'm not an immortal, so I can't guess so accurately every time." Zhuang Mingge also said with a smile.
is also said, as an ordinary Celestial Dynasty fan, who will remember who the champion and runner-up of the Qatar World Youth Championship are.
The performances of Portugal's young generation in recent years have undoubtedly been quite impressive in European football, with Figo, Rui Costa and Paulo Sousa all becoming first-class stars. After the glory of winning the World Youth Championships in 89 and 91 years, the strength of the Portuguese national youth team, which has declined sharply, has cultivated a group of young players in Qatar four years later, and with the remaining courage of Figo, Rui Costa and other predecessors, they have entered the semi-finals of this World Youth Championship with difficulty.
In the semi-finals, they unfortunately lost to Ronaldo's Brazil team and missed the final of Zuihou, so they had to face Spain, who lost to Argentina in the other semi-final, to fight for third place in the World Youth Championship.
However, these young people born in Portugal could not have imagined that what they were about to face would be an unprecedented slaughter......
“Gooooooal! The ball is in! Etcheberia! Three to zero! The Spanish lads were 3-0 ahead of Portugal in the first half! ”
Number 11! Joseba Echeberia, a young striker from Athletic Club Bilbao, was the most beautiful in this final of the third and fourth places!
The young Spanish striker seems to want to vent his frustration at the penalty loss to the Argentines in the previous semi-finals to the seemingly vulnerable opponent in front of him!
With two assists and a goal, de la Pena from FC Barcelona was the heart of the Spanish youth team's midfield, leading the team to completely dismantle the opponent's will to resist in just 45 minutes.
The talented Spanish midfielder, who has put all his energy into attack, has no need to worry about his own defense - Celta Vigo's defensive midfielder Salgado has finally returned from the ban in this game. Salgado had already paid the price for his growth in the quarter-finals, and if he had been able to play against Argentina in the semi-finals, Spain might not have regretted going out in the semi-finals.
"Echeberia looks good......" At half-time, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help muttering to himself when he remembered the Bilbao striker.
"Why, Antonio, are you interested in this Etcheberia? It looks like he has a good chance of winning the top scorer at this World Youth Championships! "Damn Cruyff, why is this guy's ears so good!
"Ahem, Coach Cruyff, why don't you talk about De la Pena, he is the soul of this Spanish youth team, without his magical play in the midfield, there would be no Echeberia's shining performance in this game, this is like the relationship between Maradona and Caniggia, without Maradona as the engine and the source of attack, Caniggia is just a good striker."
Maradona made Caniggia, and in the same way, in this game, it was De La Pena who made Echeberia charge up front.
"Antonio, you're right, but don't beat his idea, Rijkaard came to me on behalf of Ajax a few days ago and asked me if I could let De La Pena go to Ajax for half a season." When it comes to the proud disciple he cultivated during his coaching time in Barcelona, Cruyff is also overjoyed.
"Hehe, Mr. Cruyff, it looks like you're in a good mood, is it because the player from Real Madrid didn't do well in this game?"
"Well, this, Antonio, don't sow discord...... However, his performance in the first half was not very good. ”
It's not good, it's terrible! He was also the only one of Spain's starters sleepwalking, and God knows how the future Real Madrid flag could look so sluggish in this game.
Is that what the expected de la Pena is competing with Raul Gonzalez?! As a fan, Zhuang Mingge said that he was disappointed......
And the head coach of the Spanish national youth team on the sidelines also expressed his dissatisfaction with his actual actions:
No. 7 Raul is down!
Switch to No. 13 Morientes!
Fernando Morientes, a young centre-forward from La Liga Zaragoza, finally got his first chance to play after 405 minutes on the bench!
Seeing that Morientes was as excited as he was doping as soon as he got on the field, Zhuang Mingge in the box suddenly had a strange feeling: Morientes is really pitiful, and he began to be a substitute for others at this time......
Morientes, who has become Zaragoza's main striker, has the temperament of a Spanish pillar center forward more than Echeberia, another goalscorer in the national youth team, and he uses his superior impact and header ability to not only liberate Echeberia, who feels like a goal, but also create more space for De la Pena to display his talents.
5:0! A duel between brothers in the Iberian Peninsula left behind the cheers of the Spanish bullfighters and their followers, as well as the dejected faces of the Portuguese.
Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game in the box, stumbled upon Cruyff, who was sitting next to him, although he was indifferent and unmoved by Echebelia, who scored a hat-trick in this game, but the former Dutch superstar seemed to be interested in Morientes, who scored the icing on the cake before the end of the game, and his eyes flowed with an inexplicable look, as if he was thinking about something......
After the third and fourth place finals between Spain and Portugal, Zhuang Mingge and Crown Prince Said once again had an in-depth discussion on the cooperation between Fiorentina and Qatar in football. In the past month, Zhuang Mingge on behalf of Fiorentina and Al Thani on behalf of the Qatar Football Association have reached a lot of cooperation intentions, for example, in the next five years, Fiorentina will participate in the Arab Emirates Cup sponsored by Qatar Airways every summer, of course, bonuses and appearance fees must be indispensable......
