There is a dream called football

"Ms. Zhou, Mr. Li, we have arranged for you to stay in Amsterdam to watch the finals tomorrow, but I hope you don't tell Li Qiao so as not to affect his competition."

"We know that."

After entering the final, the Football Association invited the players' families to watch the game in the Netherlands, which was also a benefit.

Li Shan asked his wife, "Do you forgive me and Li Qiao now for pursuing our dreams?"

"Haha, I have forgiven you a long time ago. I couldn't figure it out at first, but now I understand that you are pursuing your own dreams."

Li Shan hugged his wife, his grievance turning into tears, "Okay, don't say anything anymore, let's watch our son's game."

"Um."

*****

Argentina's last training session the day before the game was open to the public, and the media could freely take pictures. The two forwards composed of Messi and Aguero were so powerful that they were almost crushed during the intra-team confrontation.

His speed and football IQ are far higher than his peers. It stands to reason that such a player should not participate in the World Youth Championship again, but should participate in next year's World Cup. Therefore, outsiders also say that Argentina is bullying others.

Argentina's tactics are also closely centered around Messi and Aguero. If they have the ball, they will pass it to their feet more often, and then they will organize the attack.

The Argentine media also has high hopes for this Argentina team. If they win this time, they will have won the World Youth Championship for the fifth time. They can be said to be a five-star Argentina. At least at the youth team level, Argentina has already surpassed its old rival Brazil.

After training, Messi also accepted an interview with reporters.

"The goal is of course to win the championship. This is nothing to say for Argentines. We came to the Netherlands just to win the championship."

"Your personal goal? Top scorer? Ballon d'Or?"

Messi laughed and said that his personal honor is not important.

"In fact, individual honors have to give way to collective honors. As long as the Argentine national team wins the championship, I personally think it doesn't matter at all."

"It is said that many teams have had scandals with you. Will you seek a transfer?"

Messi smiled shyly, "This should be impossible, my future belongs to Barcelona."

The Chinese team's pre-match press conference was attended by Li Qiao and Krauchen. Both of them were more cautious, after all, the opponent was Argentina.

Regarding whether the Chinese team's promotion was due to luck, Li Qiao laughed, "Of course, I don't deny that luck is a factor, but I think it depends more on our unity. We really work hard."

"Is it possible for the Chinese team to defeat Argentina in the final?"

Li Qiao told the truth, "I think it is difficult. Argentina is the strongest team in this World Youth Championship. They have players like Messi and Aguero, but we hope to drag the game into overtime. Maybe

When it comes to penalty kicks, we can beat Argentina."

What Li Qiao said was very modest. Of course, the real idea of ​​the Chinese team is definitely not like this, but to defeat the opponent in 90 minutes.

But Krauchen's tactics must be conservative, because Nigeria's lesson is already obvious. In this kind of knockout match, defense is everything.

Before the game, Krauchen deliberately asked his defensive team to watch videos of Messi and Aguero's games, various videos, both in the club and in the national team.

After watching it, Feng Xiaoting and others all expressed great surprise because the speed was probably faster than Ronaldo.

In 2002, the Chinese team played Brazil in the World Cup group stage. After the game, the players said that the opponent's speed was something they had never experienced before. Li Qiao knew that Messi and Aguero were only better than Brazil's 3r.

Feng Xiaoting joked: "Coach, if you show us these, aren't you afraid of damaging our self-confidence before the game?"

"Haha, if I don't show you these, you might be hit even worse during the game."

It's a joke, but it can be seen that these players are afraid, which is more difficult to deal with than the Nigerian players.

Feng Xiaoting asked: "Coach, what can you do?"

Everyone thought, as a coach, you can't just abuse me, but you can't think of a way for me. Unexpectedly, Krauchen spread his hands and said, "I didn't..."

"..."

"No? Is it just white abuse?"

Krauchen really has no good solution, which is vaccination. Doctors cannot eliminate cold viruses, so vaccination may be a way.

But in fact, Li Qiao knows that it is offense. Only your own offense can suppress your opponent. Maybe you can arm-wrestle with your opponent on the field.

*****

The final was in Utrecht. There were 25,000 people watching the game live, and the tickets were sold out early. Because Argentina and China are too far away from the Netherlands, there were not many fans coming from afar.

Most of the fans are expatriates in the Netherlands.

The Chinese team's bus departed from Amsterdam and was escorted by Dutch police along the way. This was only done after entering the semi-finals.

When we arrived outside the Utrecht Stadium, there were already many fans waiting there. When they saw the Chinese team bus, they waved to us.

Some people were also waving the national flag, but those shouting slogans could not be heard on the bus. When he got off the bus, Li Qiao saw Messi. Messi didn't have a beard at this time, and he looked very green, but

In his previous life, Li Qiao was a fan of Messi, so he wanted to go up and say hello, but he was a little embarrassed.

But Messi also saw Li Qiao and took the initiative to come over and hug Li Qiao.

"Hello."

"Hello, Leo."

"I watched your game last season, it was really amazing."

"You too, you are very strong in Barcelona."

In fact, Li Qiao remembered wrongly. At this time, Messi was still below Ronaldinho, and was not yet the emperor superstar he would become later.

"Thank you for your encouragement, I will try my best to play."

sweat.

Li Qiao realized that he had remembered it wrong and could only smile awkwardly.

After the players were ready, they went on the field. The game was obviously very lively. After all, more than 20,000 people came.

It's not easy for 20,000 people to come to watch a game in a small town like Utrecht. The players came on stage one after another, and Li Qiao's mother and father in the stands had already seen Li Qiao.

Li Qiao's mother was so excited that she cried.

"Wife, why are you crying?"

"I'm crying...it's nothing, I'm excited."

Li Shan patted his wife, and the families of other players were basically like this. Who could not be excited to see their children standing on the final stage of the World Series!

As the captain, Li Qiao went to pick sides with Messi. Li Qiao thought to himself, how he hoped he would have the opportunity to play against Argentina in the adult team in the future.

After picking sides, the Chinese team kicked off first in the first half, and a big battle was about to begin. Chinese fans were looking forward to who would win the final championship.
