Chapter Ninety-Seven: Span Watching
The day of the U17 World Cup group stage Group H match.
As the main general, Chikei Igarashi did not go to the venue of the group stage of Group H, but came to the group stage venue in Spain alone.
For the world's strongest newcomer Medanore, ChikΓ© Igarashi is still quite curious.
It's just that I don't know if Medanore will play in the group stage.
Judging from the group stage grouping, neither the BIG4 nor the United States will need to show real strength when facing other opponents in the group stage.
Bombing ants with missiles is a complete waste of expression.
After the group stage and entering the knockout stage of the U17 World Cup, the cruelty of the world will really be revealed.
The slightest mistake is the abyss from which there will be no return.
Only by keeping strong enough hole cards can you go on in the brutal knockout round.
In the venue
Spain's first match of the group stage was against South Africa.
You don't have to think about it to know that such a group stage is an absolute crushing game.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Igarashi Chikei found a great viewing position and sat down.
The players of the second doubles of both sides are already standing on the court.
The referee didn't want to shake hands on either side, so he simply blew the whistle for the start of the game after a quick guess.
The four of them walked to their places one after another.
The service game of the Spanish side.
The opponent tosses the tennis ball high and then presses the racket down hard.
The tennis ball gallops across the net.
The Spanish side played an ace very easily.
β15-0οΌβ
Boom!!
β30-0οΌβ
Boom!!
β40-0οΌοΌβ
Boom!
"Game, 1-0, Spain scores."
In just a minute and a half, Spain scored a point.
The BIG4 is far more powerful than these countries.
Chikage Igarashi can be very sure that the Spanish pair will definitely not be the main doubles.
The strength can only be considered good, and it may be okay in other countries, but it is much inferior in the BIG4 Spanish team.
They exist like Companion and Date Boy.
It's only been a dozen minutes.
The Spanish team has already won a set in doubles.
When it comes to the U17 World Cup, whether it is a doubles or singles match, it is a best-of-three system.
This is a great test of the physical fitness of the players.
Tennis is a very physically demanding sport.
The South African team's doubles were probably beaten by two from the Spanish team.
Both of them looked like they had lost their souls.
This was their first time competing in the Worlds, and they were already very complacent when they were crushed to the ground. The Spanish team crushed their pride.
After a set, they didn't even win a single goal.
After a brief break, the second set began.
At this time, Camus also came to the group stage venue in Spain.
After scanning the stadium, his eyes immediately locked on a certain beautiful boy.
Walked quickly to the side of the beautiful boy and said:
"The main player of the Neon team didn't pay attention to his team's group stage, but ran over to be a spectator alone. It's really a lot of leisure. β
"What a French captain is doing is a little different from mine." Chikage Igarashi said.
The surrounding audience looked at the two men with surprised expressions.
The U17 World Cup dark horse Neon team and the world No. 3 France team are so relieved about the group stage situation.
Some media reporters couldn't help but pick up their cameras and take pictures of the two beautiful boys sitting side by side.
Two handsome young people, no matter from which angle they exude a strong attraction.
on the pitch
The South African players are already in a semi-abandonment position.
"You see that the two players of the South African team seem to have given up resistance, so they should have given up the game."
The audience at the venue was full of discussions, and they were all amazed by the strength of the Spanish player.
Ten minutes later, a shrill whistle echoed throughout the venue.
"The Spanish team played the second doubles against the South African team, the best-of-three system, 2-0, the Spanish pair won."
As the referee announced Spain's second doubles win, the venue erupted in loud cheers.
"Who would have thought that the strength of the South African team would be so unbearable and that it would be crushed by the whole field. The whole game plus the break was only 30 minutes. β
The audience was full of emotion.
In many cases, the game lasts more than half an hour.
After two wins in three games, the South African team was defeated in the early thirties.
In this way, the side reflects the strength of Spain. It is not the main player who can still sweep the South African team after coming on the field.
Ten minutes later.
"Then we started the group stage of Group D, Spain against South Africa, the third singles match."
The U17 World Cup matches are played according to the doubles and singles alternately.
After the second doubles match, it is the third singles match.
The third singles match also ended quickly.
The Spanish players are not yet in good shape.
"Spain is training its troops." Chikage Igarashi shook her head helplessly.
Spain is bold enough.
Mifune didn't dare to come like this, and even if he wanted to train, he would still arrange players who could press the formation.
But all the people sent out by Spain were newcomers.
"Deep bench depth is also a necessary thing for the revolution." Camus said.
Chikage Igarashi stood up.
This time, there was no point in coming to watch the battle.
Camus also stood up from his position. The purpose of the two of them here is to see the strength of the world's strongest newcomer, Medanore.
Now it seems that in the group stage, Medanore will definitely not play.
Then there is no point in staying here any longer.
.....
Chikei Igarashi returns to the venue of the Group H group stage.
But he was late.
The South Korean team was crushed by the Neon team's players and quickly lost.
The end of the match was even quicker than Spain's tackle of South Africa. Probably based on the last expedition of the Byodoin Phoenix, they left a deep impression on the Korean team players.
As soon as Onijujiro appeared, the other party quickly abstained.
"You're back? Did you gather any information? Mitsuya Akuto stepped forward with a notebook.
"Nope. Spain's Medanore will not be on the pitch in the group stage. The group stage is just for some of their players to get a feel for the World Championship. Chikage Igarashi shook her head.
Then, everyone on the Neon team swaggered out of the venue.
Today's group stage is over.
And Group H really doesn't have any opponents who deserve their special attention.
Even Belgium, ranked eighth in the world.
This year's Neon U17 lineup is basically on par with the BIG4.
