World Cup of Great Powers

6 to 1!

The Chinese Youth Team scored the biggest score of this World Youth Championship!

I thought it would be another fierce battle against the National Youth Team of Cameroon.

But no one expected that the game would turn out to be one-sided.

Nigeria's "Today" rushed to print an evening report that night, focusing on the match of the Chinese Youth Team.

Since this World Cup is being held in Africa, all African teams playing at home are also favored by fans.

Needless to say, Nigeria is the host.

Mali eliminated Portugal and Uruguay, and Zambia also advanced to the top 16 by virtue of ranking fourth and third in the group.

In other words, including the host country, a total of five African teams have entered the top 16, which has never happened in previous world championships.

In the words of local fans, this World Youth Championship can be described as a carnival for the African team!

It was such a carnival, but the Chinese Youth Team poured cold water on the heads of African fans with an extremely disparate score!

Prior to this, Croatia's 5-1 victory over Kazakhstan in Group B was the largest point difference in this World Youth Championship.

The protagonist of the tragedy is the Asian team, which is also in line with the image of Asian football being weak.

But now, the China Youth Team under Zeng Zheng used a bigger victory to defeat the African Lion Cameroon in the quarter-finals.

The teams and coaches who advanced to the quarterfinals immediately bought newspapers and began to collect first-hand game reports of the Chinese Youth Team!

"One-sided Massacre"

"African Lion Meets Poacher"

"Football Giants Hidden in Third World Countries"

The media uses such sensational headlines to attract fans.

But after watching the game and the score, the fans fell silent again.

Is the Chinese team that strong?

When did the Chinese team become so good?

If the Chinese team is really as strong as it appears, won't we in Africa be overtaken by Asia?

Ordinary fans worry about some crazy things.

But the coaches who advanced to the quarterfinals are all trying their best to think about one question - is this the full strength of the Chinese team?

If the answer is "yes", then the Chinese team actually has nothing to fear.

Find the loopholes in the opponent's tactics and counterattack, and send out a suitable lineup and formation to restrain the opponent from the root. It is not surprising to score such a result.

But what if the answer is "no"?

So what is the true level of the Chinese team?

So far, including the substitute goalkeeper, all the members of the Chinese Youth Team have made an appearance.

The opponents have also collected complete data on the main players, and even the discussion information on the substitute players has been compiled into two large articles.

But is this the full strength of the China Youth Team?

The other seven coaches didn't feel confident.

At this time, Troussier, who had played against Zeng Zheng several times, said in an interview that the strength of the China Youth Team is much more than this!

"As we all know, Coach Zeng is a magical young coach."

"Not only does he know his players well, but he is also good at arranging the opponent's formation."

"A coach like Zeng can make countless changes with his more than 20 players."

"In my opinion, the strength of the China Youth Team is much more than this!"

...

Troussier's remarks were echoed by many people.

Because this year’s China Youth Team is not about a talented player who suddenly performs explosively and shows off his talents all the way through.

The Chinese youth team, which has blossomed as much as it did in the game against Cameroon, is really hard to guard against.

The Chinese youth team with all substitutes can beat Mali.

Doesn't that mean that in Zeng Zheng's opinion, these players are not really divided into main players and substitutes?

Turn all players into one unit.

Teams like this can really cause headaches for their opponents!

For a time, with the excellent performance of the Chinese Youth Team, the term "dark horse" completely fell on the Chinese Youth Team.

Just like last time, the Chinese youth team has advanced to the quarterfinals.

With a one-eighth chance of winning, the Chinese Youth Team has become the favorite to win this World Youth Championship!

After the news spread back to China, many domestic fans were also surprised.

Everyone read the news reports several times and checked with people around them again and again, for fear that it was rumors spread by some unscrupulous domestic media.

When I got the definite answer, I couldn't help but blurt out the word "f*ck".

"I thought this quarter-finals was over, but I didn't expect Coach Zeng to be so strong! He could still win the championship?"

"Oh my god! Let alone win the championship, even if I make it to the semi-finals, I will still have to burn it!"

"I hereby swear that if the Chinese Youth Team really wins the championship, I will perform a handstand and fly in front of everyone!!!"

The fans were in uproar.

This season, apart from domestic A, A and B, the national team has no competition.

Everyone's eyes are on the youth team.

Now that such good news has come from the Chinese Youth Team in the World Youth Championship, the football atmosphere among the people has become even stronger!

TV stations and party publications focused on this football event.

The Chinese Youth Team tied the best record in the World Youth Championship.

Further slogans resounded throughout the sky.

Although there is no "star" in the team, all players who scored goals are enthusiastically sought after by fans and media.

Players such as Shao Jiayi, Xu Yunlong, Zhao Junzhe and Li Yi have also become famous locally.

His club even held an emergency meeting to discuss how to keep these players in their hands.

But what they don't know is that under Zeng Zheng's subtle influence, these players are all preparing to go to Europe to play football!

...

After playing Cameroon, the quarterfinals have been announced.

The opponent of the Chinese Youth Team is Paraguay, which defeated Zambia.

This time, the Chinese Youth Team took a train to Lagos, the largest port city in Nigeria.

Here, with whirling palms, swaying coconut trees, shady green trees, clear water, and soaring fish and gulls, it is a water town scene.

From the perspective of tourists, this place is more like the "Venice of Africa".

The day after arriving in Lagos, when Zeng Zheng led his players to train at the training ground, reporters and fans who had received the news had already gathered outside.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh, this battle is not small!"

"Coach Zeng, the Chinese team is now a big star!"

Following the Chinese team, these volunteers also feel honored.

Several of his alumni who chose other European teams have returned home a lot now!

But they can continue to accumulate credits with the Chinese Youth Team.

Seeing the appearance of the China Youth Team, many fans at the scene shouted the names of the players.

"One, one, one, one!!!"

Shao Jiayi shook his head in triumph and waved to the fans like a leader.

However, these fans who rushed towards him turned a blind eye and rushed past him with a "hoo!" and came to Li Yi.

"One, sign your name for us!"

"Yeah, one, your ball protection is so good!"

"One, how old are you and do you have a girlfriend?"

Seeing these foreigners pronouncing the sound "yi" in half-baked Chinese, Shao Jiayi looked confused.

"Come on, am I not one?"

"mua!"

The female college student picked up Shao Jiayi's face and pressed it hard.

"Yes, you are the one in my heart!"

On the other side, Zhu Guanghu had his hands behind his back with a look of emotion on his face.

"Xiao Zeng, have you noticed that more and more fans are coming to cheer us on!"

"Of course!" Zeng Zheng nodded and pointed to the fan groups not far away and said one by one, "The ones over there are from Enugu, and the ones here are from Kano. There is also a group over there,

They all came from China, and we didn’t miss a single match!”

Zhu Guanghu nodded when he heard this, "That's the truth! We have played all the way from the group stage to the quarterfinals, and the number of fans has naturally snowballed, and there are more and more fans."

"Xiao Zeng, you have to be more serious in the next game! As long as we break into the semi-finals, we will make history again! Even if we go back for the fourth time, we are still heroes!"

The World Youth Championship also has the third and fourth place finals.

In other words, as long as they reach the semi-finals, the number of games will be the same as the championship and runner-up.

Zeng Zheng actually thought so too.

If you want to show your face in front of the whole world, of course the more competitions the better.

Zeng Zheng didn't think much about winning the championship. His plan was to reach the semi-finals.

Even if the top four lose both games, as long as the games are exciting and the players perform well, then his ultimate goal of this World Youth Championship will be achieved.

Seeing Zeng Zheng nodding, Zhu Guanghu asked again: "Xiao Zeng, what should these media do? Do you want me to come forward?"

What Zhu Guanghu meant was that he came forward to say a few words, give an explanation to the media, and at the same time stop them and let the team members train well.

Zeng Zheng shook his head, "Coach Zhu, you can raise your troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. We don't win by improvising."

"Then what do you mean..."

"It's still open training! Focus on basic coordination and physical training." Zeng Zheng said eloquently.

"Don't these media want to take pictures?"

"Then let them take the photo!"

"If you take more photos and spread them out, the popularity of our team members will naturally increase."

Zhu Guanghu was speechless after hearing this, "Xiao Zeng, there is something in your words!"

"You have been like this since you came to Nigeria. Why do I feel that you are eager to let the media and spies know more about our team members?"

"That's right! Coach Zhu, that's what I think!"

"Why? What do you think of doing this?" Zhu Guanghu also gradually saw the clues.

"I'm thinking that if there is a chance, let them go abroad to play football like Sun Jihai and General Fan to gain knowledge."

"Let me tell you, you must have some wishful thinking! Tsk, tsk, tsk... you are so bad, kid!"

"Ah? Coach Zhu, what are you talking about? Why am I broken?" Zeng Zheng looked confused.

"Xiao Zeng, I don't know about your little thoughts?" Zhu Guanghu put his arm on Zeng Zheng's shoulders and lowered his voice, "You just want to send all these young players away, and then wait until other teams are too weak to pick up the ball.

Finally, let your Jianlibao achieve good results, right?"

"ah???"

Hearing Zhu Guanghu's guess, Zeng Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Is there still such an understanding here?

For a while, Zeng Zheng remained silent.

He suddenly thought about it.

Even Zhu Guanghu thinks so, then shouldn’t other clubs also think so?

It seems that I have to be more restrained and concealed from now on.

If other competitors catch the tail, I don’t know how my own club will die!

During the entire open training period, Zeng Zheng had been thinking about this matter.

Even Paraguay, the opponent in the next game, did not conduct many simulated matches.

Speaking of strength, Paraguay is the weakest South American team in this tournament.

Being able to make it all the way here is also a combination of state and luck.

But it is a South American team after all.

For Zeng Zheng, who has been in Brazil for four or five years, he is better at leading a team to face these South American teams.

Among the current top eight, the Brazilian team has the highest claim to win the championship, followed by Spain, the only remaining European team, and the third is the China Youth Team led by Zeng Zheng.

Although the distance from South America to Africa is no longer than that from China to Nigeria, many of these South American team members showed symptoms of acclimatization after arriving here.

In the first group match, the Paraguayan players were outmatched and were beaten 4-0 by the German team.

It’s really interesting to think about it.

Although the German team got such a high-profile start, in Group A, Paraguay ultimately won the first place in the group.

The German team only won this game and was eliminated as fourth in the group.

It has to be said that the German team has really been in decline in recent years, and the performance of the national team in all age groups has fallen to the bottom.

After losing to Germany, Paraguay beat Costa Rica 3-1 and the host Nigeria 2-1.

After reaching the top 16, they faced Zambia, the weakest team in the group and ranked third in the group, but it took overtime to eliminate them.

Therefore, the strength of Paraguay this year has always been a mystery, making it difficult to see the depth.

...

April 18, National Stadium, Lagos.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Paraguayan coach stood on the sidelines with his shoulders in his hands, shouting at the players on the court.

After 15 minutes of adjustments during the half-time break, for a head coach, except for the substitution card left in his hand, he has done his best.

The current situation is that the Paraguayan coach only has the last substitution card left in his hand to prepare for emergencies.

But both the situation and the score on the court urged him to play the last substitution card quickly.

"No, we can't make substitutions now!" the Paraguayan coach said in his mind.

"It's not time yet, it's not time to change!"

"Work harder, work harder..."

"Just one more thrust!!!"

On the scoreboard, the score of 2 to 1 was bright red.

Judging from this result, there is only one goal difference between Paraguay and the China Youth Team, and it seems that they can catch up at any time.

But the problem is that the current situation is completely beyond the control of the Paraguayans.

In the first half, the two sides played to a 1-1 tie, which was evenly matched from the scene.

In response to the Chinese Youth Team's defensive counterattack, the Paraguayans counterattacked very well. Both in terms of ball possession rate and number of shots, they were on par with the Chinese Youth Team.

More than ten minutes after the start of the second half, the two teams were just like the first half, playing back and forth.

But when the game progressed to the 58th and 60th minutes, Zeng Zheng played two substitution cards in succession, and the evenly matched situation on the field was instantly changed.

Zeng Zheng first replaced right back Wang Liang with Chen Licheng, and the formation changed to 352.

Before the Paraguayan coach could react, Zeng Zheng made another substitution, replacing Shen Han with Lu Bofei.

All 6 midfielders are piled up in the middle.

The addition of two new players instantly crippled Paraguay's midfield.

In the blink of an eye, Paraguay's midfield was completely paralyzed and was completely taken over by the Chinese youth team.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no effective connection between the front and rear fields, the Chinese Youth Team actually launched a general attack at this time.

You know, the Chinese team's international reputation has always been that it can only play 60 minutes.

Any coach who knows a little bit about the Chinese team knows that 60 minutes is a physical critical point for Chinese players.

But Zeng Zheng's team launched a fierce attack during this time today and defeated their opponents instantly.

After Zhao Junzhe scored in the chaos to make the score 2-1, Paraguay still did not slow down.

Looking at the Chinese youth team's "1 to protect 6" offensive formation on the court, the Paraguayan coach clasped his hands together.

"God, let our team members persist for a while longer!"
