Chapter 142: Youth Champions League Enhanced Edition (Ask for a lot of praise)

In the 55th minute, Violante replaced Quaresma with Luis Lorenco, the team's substitute right winger.

Quaresma couldn't score a hat-trick, but his two goals and one assist were enough to satisfy him.

He walked to the bench to the applause of the fans.

The Portuguese team made substitutions one after another, and the German team naturally knew that the opportunity for a counterattack had come.

In the 62nd minute, Schweinsteiger passed back to club teammate Hitzelsperger, who went straight through.

German centre-forward Kuranyi blasts home.

The score was tied at 6-1.

It's equivalent to not having a wrench.

In the 70th minute, as the German team's attack gradually improved, the confrontation between the two sides intensified unconsciously.

Deng Kai promptly reminded his teammates to retreat and not to compete with the German team.

Avoid unknown injuries.

This ability to observe and control the field made Violante constantly nod his head on the sidelines.

Bringing Deng Kai with him was definitely the most correct decision he made in this European Junior Championship.

Seventy-seventh minute.

Deng Kai suddenly stepped up in the backcourt and sent a precise long pass.

Meireles dribbled down the ball, created a corner and drove it in.

Portuguese centre-back Fonte leaps high and heads home.

Seven to one!

The Germans were shot again.

At the moment of conceding the goal, almost all the German players looked at Deng Kai.

Why don't you attack?

What's going on with the sudden steal and long pass just now?

Playing yin?

Facing the doubts of Ram and others, Deng Kai smiled and walked towards the sidelines.

Violante replaced Deng Kai with Igor.

Deng Kai had eight assists and occupied the top of the assist list in the European Junior Championship with an absolute advantage.

Eighty-sixth minute.

Lahm cut inside on the right and set up Schweinsteiger's goal.

Two to seven.

This was also the final score of the game.

Germany's Under-16s suffered an unprecedented defeat.

Portugal U16, a series of bloody strong teams, a battle of the world!

……

After the game, the German Under-16 players declined to be interviewed.

But their head coach couldn't run away and was caught by reporters: "I don't understand, I've never seen football like this, it breaks my perception of traditional football." ”

"Deng Kai is a phenomenal player, Ronaldo's finishing ability is terrible, Quaresma can't be limited at all, Meireles is an engine on the side, Veloso seems to be an impregnable wall......"

'Every single one of their players looks so strong and you can't say it's the game that made them like that or if it's because they're the way they are.

On the pitch, the players of the Portuguese team are also being interviewed.

Cristiano Ronaldo: "I was in good shape today and if I hadn't been substituted, I could have scored more goals. But I also knew that I needed to prepare for the final final. ”

"Scoring a hat-trick is by far the happiest thing I've done, and it's a dream to have it in my first time playing for the national youth team."

"Today I felt that the opponent's goal was as wide as the sea, and of course it was inseparable from Deng Kai's wonderful pass for me. We really have a good understanding...... Yes, I'm just talking about the free-kick, we've never had a similar exercise before, but at that moment, we all knew what to do, it's impossible to put into words. ”

"I don't think there will be anyone in the world who has this tacit understanding like ours."

The reporters nodded their heads and asked, "Really?" Couldn't Hathaway and Dunkai too? ”

Ronaldo angrily threw the microphone and left.

And when Quaresma was asked why he gave up the free-kick, he certainly wouldn't say anything about his superstitions: "I know that Deng Kai has a good feeling on his feet in this game, so I hope he can try it." ”

"I'm not someone who doesn't know how to share the ball, and I'm more than happy to cooperate if my teammates need it."

Reporter: "What about Deng Kai and Ronaldo's free kick after that?" ”

Quaresma: "It's so interesting, it's a tactical free-kick to remember. If I have the chance, I hope I will be able to participate in it next time. ”

In the end, Deng Kai, who has the most reporters around him, got superstar-level treatment.

He assisted the senior and beat Cristiano Ronaldo to win the best player of the game.

Reporter: "You played an exaggerated masterpiece, and the 5-0 statistics in the first half were crazy. Can you tell us how you did that? ”

Deng Kai shook his head: "To be honest, we don't know how all this happened. I felt like I was struggling to play and a lot of times I was forced to hide. ”

"But the team-mates are too good at taking their chances."

Reporter: "You're still so humble. What is your outlook for the finals? ”

Deng Kai was a little more serious: "Since we have all reached the finals, of course our goal is to win the championship. ”

The reporters were stunned.

Deng Kai's contrast is too great.

It is equivalent to saying "don't want to" while expressing "still more" with actions.

Reporter: "Do you have any research on this Spanish Under-16 team?" They have won all of their games so far, including in the group stage. ”

Deng Kai smiled: "Of course I am familiar with it. There are several players in this team that I know. ”

"Actually, I was surprised by this edition. Because I can find some acquaintances in each team. The Netherlands' four young talents, Bayern's three masters, and the Czech team's Cech. ”

"Without exception, they've all lost to me."

"If I look at the Spanish squad again, do you say it's a coincidence, Torres and Gabi...... I think God has already told you the answer. ”

Reporter: "Are you talking about the UEFA Youth League?" ”

Deng Kai said: "Yes. I have to admit that the level of the Youth Champions League is much higher than people expected at the beginning. The star who shined in the Youth Champions League unsurprisingly also played in this European Junior Championship. ”

"The teams with them as the core or the main force have also achieved good results, reaching the knockout rounds, the semi-finals and even the finals."

"So, as the winners of the Youth Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo and I are confident that we can beat Spain U16!"

A journalist with a bias towards Spain disagreed: "There is a difference between Spain and other teams. The Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic are indeed based on several Under-15 stars. ”

"But the real core of this Spain Under-16 team is Andres Iniesta from Barcelona and a lot of players from Barca Under-16 and Under-17. They are far better than the Atletico Under-15s you've met before. ”

Deng Kai: "But in addition to me and Ronaldo, this Portugal U16 team also has Quaresma, Merellas, Fonte and other higher-level excellent players!" ”

Soon, Deng Kai's interview made headlines.

But not because of how powerful his words are.

It's because ...... UEFA expressed great satisfaction with Deng Kai's statement.

After the unprecedented success of the inaugural Under-15 Champions League, UEFA has received too many requests to keep the series going.

There are more sponsors than they can imagine.

And Deng Kai's speech once again made a note on the gold content of the Youth Champions League.

The main players of the Youth Champions League are also the best performers in the European Junior Championship.

It's like the Champions League and the European Cup.

The outstanding players in the Champions League are destined to become the leaders in the European Championship.

However, UEFA received a number of other comments.

For example, some people think that the players in the Youth Champions League at Under-15 level are too young.

There are relatively few followers.

And even after a player at this stage becomes famous, it is difficult for him to immediately connect with a professional team.

This greatly reduces the enthusiasm of the fans to pay attention to them.

What you want to see is a player who has made a big splash in the UEFA Youth League, and then in a year or two he can get into the big clubs and into the real mainstream.

Let fans feel the charm of a goal to become famous up close and in a short period of time.

To this end, UEFA is negotiating.

There is a high probability that this year's second UEFA Youth League will not be held at Under-15 level.

It could be U17 or U19.

After this intention was announced, the number of sponsors increased.

Because this can also make the influence of the Youth Champions League expand from the European Youth Championship to the European Youth Championship, an international competition that attracts more public attention.
