Chapter 183 (Part 1) European Youth Championship teenagers show off their power

Zhuo Yang's parents were rudely harassed by the media in China, and later the news reached Zhuo Yang's ears in Germany. For the first time, he became disgusted with everything in China.

Originally, Zhuo Yang had been laughing at the domestic media fighting each other because of him. Anyway, Cheng Hao also said that no matter what he said, good or bad, it was all hype and helping him gain fame. The more famous you are, the better, and the bigger you are, the richer you will be. But now that the peace of his father and mother was disturbed, Zhuo Yang suddenly felt disgusted. Of course, he attributed this disgust to the Football Association, the culprit.

At this time, even if the leader of the Football Association kneels in front of him and admits his mistake, crying and begging him to join the national team to participate in the Asian Cup, Zhuo Yang will still say: Fuck you!

If you want me to join the national team, you can, just stand up straight and let me slap you half to death.

Zhuoyang's mentality is what Cheng Hao is most worried about. Zhuo Yang has begun to dislike Chinese football, and Zhuo Yang is a person who never does things against his own will. He is extremely arrogant in his heart.

.

After Zhuoyang hurriedly walked around Berlin, he ran to Bochum. I went to Berlin to understand the preparations for the concert on the spot, and I came to Bochum because the 2004 European Youth Football Championship will be held here. Several of his good brothers, Brother Meng, Grandpa Mo, Piggy Schwein, and the Musketeers Gomez will participate.

This European Youth Cup is said to be U21, but it is actually U23, because his age is calculated from the qualifiers, and that was two years ago. The U21 who was of appropriate age at that time is now U23, but the name is still used. .

There were only eight teams, and the competition was very competitive. France and the Netherlands were eliminated in the qualifying rounds, so Scar Ribery and Butcher De Jong could only look at their second brother, Xiaozhu, and grandpa with envy. He went to Bochum in a triumphant manner. However, when they looked back at Zhuo Yang, they immediately regained their balance.

Among the eight teams, Italy has the highest appeal, because there are many young stars gathered, and many players have already played in Serie A. Barzagli, De Rossi, Gilardino, Zaccardo, Amelia, Bonera, Cannavaro..., Montolivo can only be a rotation substitute. It's not that the second brother is not good enough, he is only nineteen years old and has little qualifications.

Italian football is still immersed in the past glory of the Mini World Cup. Their national teams at all levels rarely select players from foreign leagues, which is quite looked down upon. The second brother Montolivo was selected because his idol Roberto Baggio gave the Italian Football Association advice: This little guy is the most like me. Baggio has decided to join the Football Association after retiring and take charge of Italian youth training.

So, the second brother got his wish and joined Italy, but the prejudiced head coach Gianleti did not use him as the main force, although the second brother was very popular this year.

The situation of Germany U21 is different. They don't have as many new stars as Italy, but the age of the players is generally 23 years old, except for Piggy, Grandpa and Musketeers. Therefore, these three guys can only be juniors, and because they did not participate in the previous brutal qualifiers, they were the pickers, so they had to start as substitutes.

\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c/center\u003eAlthough Germany U21 is very low-key, it is still favored because it is the host. These two teams, plus Portugal, are the favorites to win the championship according to the media.

Why is it still called u21 even though it is already u23? At the end of this tournament, the top three teams will be renamed the U23 National Team, also called the National Olympic Team. Because it is an Olympic year, the top three teams in the European Youth Championship will qualify for the Athens Olympic football competition to be held in Greece in August this summer.

Zhuo Yang naturally pretended not to care, while Scar and Butcher were extremely envious. The handsome Greek guy Kalitzakis, a retired Madiburg player, has already said hello to the three swordsmen. Whoever can come to the Olympics this year will be invited by him to go to some good places that only he knows. Don't think about anyone else. The second brother, Xiaozhu, and grandpa are naturally eager to try and full of motivation. Zhuo Yang, Scar, and Butcher said very mockingly: "Three dead substitutes,

What's so stinky? The three brothers counterattacked: I'm going to make you three sluts who are not even part-timers!

The handsome Greek guy is not only a staff member of the Greek Football Association, but also an official of this year's Athens Olympic Games Organizing Committee.

Jianjianzhe said that at the beginning of the U21 European Youth Championship in Bochum in 2004, Italy, the favorite to appear first, suffered an upset in the first game, losing to Belarus 1:2.

In the first half, there were two counterattacks, "哐, 哐". Italy, the master of defense, was counterattacked by Belarus. In the second half, Italy was forced to launch a strong attack that it was not good at. Not to mention the thunder and rain, Bonera was sent off with a red card in the 73rd minute for a flagrant foul.

Under all circumstances, head coach Gianleti replaced Gianpiero Pinchi with his second brother Montolivo, who had made frequent mistakes and had already received a yellow card but was still rough. So, the second brother Wenqing flashed directly.

Montolivo revitalized the entire Italian team in the midfield, and was able to form a strong blocking line with De Rossi, immediately rejecting the Belarusian's provocation against the Italian defense. In just ten minutes, the second brother sent three wonderful passes to the two strikers Gilardino and Giuseppe Scully, but it was a pity that these two brothers all missed the ball. In the end, it was the second brother who used his personal ability to score a goal unreasonably at the last minute.

Although he lost the game, the second brother won, and he established his position in the national youth team in one fell swoop.

Since then, Montolivo has become the absolute main force of the Italian team, defeating Montenegro and Croatia along the way, and then defeated Portugal to reach the final. In the final, the Italian U21 national team defeated the Montenegro National Youth Team again 3:0, and the second brother scored two goals.

After winning the championship and advancing to Greece, the second brother also became the top scorer and best player in the tournament with five goals and two assists. Montolivo was so excited.

The German brothers were not as lucky as the second brother.

In the first game, Germany unexpectedly lost to Sweden. A Swedish forward named John Elmand scored a hat trick. This guy did whatever he wanted in Germany's penalty area, and no one could control him. If my grandfather Per Mertesacker hadn't been ordered to turn off his phone in the second half, I don't know how many players this guy could have scored. Why didn’t 23-year-old Ibrahimovic score? He is a member of the national team, and he can no longer be pretended to be in the youth team.

0:3, the German media was in an uproar.

In the second game, Germany was led 3:0 by the same favorite Portugal. The goal was not scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, because he was not in the youth team either. He was the new favorite of the national team. Amid the boos of the German fans in the stadium, the German team replaced Piggy, Grandpa and Musketeer in the 60 minutes of the second half. The three brothers really worked hard. Piggy's free kick and Gomez's header gave the Germans hope, but in the end, time was too late and Germany was defeated by Portugal 3:2. After losing two games in a row, they have lost the chance to enter the semi-finals. The host country became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament.

Even in the final battle of honor in the group stage, the three starters showed off their might, Gomez scored three goals, Piggy and Grandpa added the icing on the cake, and Germany beat Switzerland 5:0, but so what?

However, Germany lost and the three brothers won respect.
