The clock passed quickly, and the week-long group stage officially ended.

The Neon team entered the knockout stage as the top team in Group H.

In the final game of the group stage against Belgium, Mifune Norimichi put Chikage Igarashi in the singles No. 1 position.

It's just that with the disdainful efforts of the other soldiers of the First Army, Igarashi Chikage gave birth to worms in the rest area.

They have a few days off before the knockout rounds begin.

However, at times like these, everyone is training hard to get stronger before the knockout rounds begin.

A tense atmosphere enveloped everyone on the Neon team.

I hit the jackpot in the first game of the knockout round.

Play against the United States, ranked fifth in the world after BIG4.

If you can't improve yourself, you won't be able to go home in the top 16.

Igarashi Chikei is indeed strong enough, but it may not be able to hold out until Igarashi Chikei.

Through the playout schedule, everyone on the Neon team knows it's a tough upward path.

If the Neon team beat the United States in the round of 16 to advance to the quarterfinals, they will face world No. 2 Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

There is no doubt about it.

No other team will be able to stop Switzerland from qualifying.

A win over Switzerland will result in a semi-final against either the king Germany, France or Spain.

Thorns all the way!

The road to conquer the world is full of thorns, but only by crossing the thorny path can you truly dominate the world!

Mifune Irimichi and Igarashi Chikage and the other armies all frowned slightly when they heard Mitsuya Yajiu's words.

Mifune, who couldn't think of any way to break the game, picked up his wine gourd and poured it violently.

"That is, after our win over the United States, we have to face at least three BIG4s to move up." Chikage Igarashi said.

Mitsuya Yakuto nodded.

Shuji Tanejima and the others glanced at each other, and they could clearly see the solemn color in the depths of each other's eyes.

"One is more difficult to deal with, and the road to winning the U17 World Cup is indeed full of countless thorns and difficulties."

Irie Sota's face was extremely serious.

Rao is based on his character, and after knowing the grim situation they will face in the next knockout round, he can't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.

"If you want to take over the world, how can it be smooth sailing. As long as we go on, sooner or later we will run into it! ”

Mifune Norido snorted coldly.

The members of the First Army are a little unfamiliar with the best-of-three format in the main draw.

Up until that point, they had been a one-game winner.

Even Byodoin Phoenix and Onitjujiro are usually thinking about the corresponding countermeasures for the best-of-three format in their minds. And on more than one occasion they have found someone to play such a match to deal with the physical pressure that comes with being a best-of-three format.

At first, Mifune was worried that the best-of-three format of the first game would lead to the physical pressure of long-term exertion, which would lead to mistakes in decision-making or abnormal performance during the match.

Now it seems that his concern is completely superfluous.

As for Igarashi Chikei, then there is no need to worry about it at all.

When this kid is under physical pressure, he can directly make the opponent unconscious.

Then simply abort the game.

In the previous battle between Igarashi Chikage and Oni Jujiro, if it wasn't for Igarashi Chikage to stop it, the unconscious Onijujiro would have been declared incapable of playing and dragged down.

I don't know why that kid didn't use it in the first place.

Is it because there are some shackles?

If Igarashi Chikage knew what Mifune was thinking, he would definitely open his mouth to refute it.

Pull people directly into the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel, so that you can directly win the victory, and that kind of victory is meaningless at all.

If you look for that, Chikéi Igarashi won't even need to hold a racket.

"Alright, that's pretty much what needs to be said, so go back first. If there are other things, I'll let you know separately. After Mifune Norito finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal that everyone could dismiss.

Seeing this, Chikage Igarashi and the others left here one after another and returned to their respective rooms.

The other side

The U.S. team's player room

Reinhardt and the others were standing in the conference room, and when they saw the opponents on the schedule, they were all a little dignified.

Three months ago, it would have been extremely relaxed for them to know that their opponents in the quarter-finals would have been extremely relaxed. But now it's different, and the brand-new U17 team, which has completed a magnificent revolution in their own country, is definitely a fierce rival for them.

The main general, Chiké Igarashi, a player from another dimension.

NO.2, Byodoin Phoenix, Asura Shinto.

NO.3, Oni Jujiro, Asura Shinto.

Just these three different dimensions give them a bit of a headache.

"The opponent in the quarter-finals is not something we can decide. Let's have a good time playing this game against the Neon team. This is also my last U17 World Cup for the United States. Quevedo Pešić said.

This is an old man from the U.S. U17 team.

Reinhardt and the others were silent when they heard Kvedo Pesic's words.

'Of course we're going to finish this game. Victory is important for us, but isn't it what we're looking for to play in a game where neither side will have any regrets? Dudu the Birdman said earnestly.

Yes, Reinhardt also spoke.

"Our tennis is not just in the Under-17 World Cup, there is still a long way to go and our future is very bright."

Reinhardt's voice seemed to have some strange magic.

The originally gloomy atmosphere vanished, and everyone was originally a little nervous, and the low mood was also dispelled, and they all returned to their usual appearance.

However, there is no way to do it, after all, the pressure brought by the neon team to other teams is not insignificant.

Three players from different dimensions.

After a few days of trimming, the day has come for the U17 World Cup quarterfinals, the Neon team against the United States.

As the first quarter-finals, it can be said to have attracted the attention of the audience.

Everyone in the Neon team came to the competition venue on an exclusive bus.

The knockout rounds begin, and all the matches start in the most central venue.

The venue has a capacity of tens of thousands of spectators.

As soon as the Neon team stepped off the bus, they could hear the noise in the venue.

Everyone went to the lounge and waited quietly for the game to begin.

"I don't need to say anything more, you should know what you want? Take it down!! Mifune's eyes swept over the faces of the first army, and then he said lightly.
