Chapter 193 Bright Sword!

Three hours after the draw with Argentina, Ding Yu got the news of another match in the group. Spain defeated Honduras with a score of [-] to [-], ranking first in the group standings. As one of the most famous stars in this World Junior Championship, the Barcelona demon boy Bojan scored twice in the first game. The midfielder Jordi from Villarreal also scored twice, showing amazing attack power.

However, Ding Yu is not particularly worried. He scored one point against Argentina in the first game. Even if he loses to Spain, as long as he wins Honduras in the final game, he can basically guarantee to enter the top [-] with four points.

The next game in the group stage is 22 days after three days. It is also in Ulshan. The last game is the 25th. The game location is in Jeju — three games in six days. Even these players already have professional league experience. This situation has not been encountered. The time for domestic league arrangements is generally relatively loose and will not be too close. Basically, it is basically a second or lower league, and it will not encounter such a tight schedule, which will be a great test for the physical fitness of the players.

Fortunately, there was already a one-month training period to reserve physical fitness before the start of the World Junior Championships, otherwise it would be just a physical gap that might drag down the Chinese national junior team.

Ding Yu is also worried about the strength of the second opponent Spain. This team is one of the favorites to win the World Junior Championships. Bo Yang leads the team. Jordi from Valencia is in the midfield. Quite a tacit understanding, and at the same time, in terms of experience, it is definitely not inferior to the Chinese national team. Facing such an opponent, how can we fight to have the hope of winning?
Some coaches also suggested that they simply give up the game and let the main players retain their physical strength to kill Honduras in the last game. Accumulating four points will definitely guarantee their qualifying, but Ding Yu was extremely firm in rejecting this proposal.

Although utilitarian football is the main line of modern football, in youth games, no one wants utilitarian football to be contaminated with the purest part of football.

"These kids are only 17 years old. Although they have been moving towards the goal of professional football since they were young, sometimes thinking too much is a kind of cowardice! I don't want to see them becoming more and more utilitarian, and less and less courageous to face powerful enemies... Have you seen Liangjian? Although the filming is a bit rough, the meaning of the word Liangjian shows that people should face difficulties when they face difficulties... True warriors dare to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood. Although they don't have to do this, they should understand , in the face of a strong enemy, only by facing it bravely and daring to show your sword can you defeat yourself and the cowardice in the deepest part of your heart!"

Ding Yu loudly said to the coaching staff: "Now we have met an opponent who can be regarded as the strongest enemy! What should we do? Just lose like that, and then get three points against the underdog Honduras, and qualify comfortably... But what's the point of qualifying like this? We gave up this time, what should we do in the knockout round? Should we continue to give up? We didn't have the courage to fight against a strong opponent in the group stage. So we have to show our swords! Show our swords against Spain! Even if we lose in the end, we can have no regrets! This is very important, very important, if a player loses his aggressiveness when facing strong opponents, then this player will have no future development!"

Ding Yu said confidently: "In three days, we will surprise Spain!"

********************************
"Today we are going to play against Spain!"

Before the start of the game, Ding Yu said the keynote of the game: "It is true that Spain is very strong. They are basically composed of La Liga players. They may be stronger than Argentina. After all, there are no world-famous young leaders like Bojan, Walcott, and Toni Kroos in the Argentine national team. But facing such a strong enemy, should we give up this game and concentrate on playing Honduras?"

"Shouldn't be!" The players of the China National Junior Team, who were young and famous and arrogant, were so excited by Ding Yu, and they all blushed and shouted thickly, and even Long Bisheng waved his fists in the middle and shouted.

"I think you all should have seen the bright sword...the swordsmen in ancient China met the enemy on a narrow road. Even if the opponent is the best swordsman in the world, knowing that he is invincible, he must show his sword and fight the enemy to the death! Today we also met such a powerful opponent, and we also have to show our sword! Show your courage, show your strength, and have a decisive battle with Spain! Maybe we can't enter the final of this World Junior Championship, so let's treat this game as the final!"

"For this game, our lineup will be changed to [-]!" Ding Yu ignored the surprised expressions of the players, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to attack, how about only one striker!"

"The goalkeeper is still Wu Bufan, Huang Zhenghong, you start today, but not as a defensive midfielder, but as a left back. You played this position when you were in the youth team and Qingdao Haifeng. You are accurate in positioning and have a good sense of going forward. Playing as a left back is okay. Anyway, we are going to attack in this game. Your offense is still stronger than Long Xing."

"What do you mean?" Huang Zhenghong said dissatisfiedly, and then he fell silent. Anyway, he may not be able to compete with the two returnees in the midfielder position, and playing left back is not bad, anyway, this is also a position he is good at.

"The other three guards are still the same. Li Jie, I have an important task for you to watch Bo Yang! His technical characteristics are different from those forwards you often watch. Be careful, if you can control part of his performance, it will be very helpful to our victory." Ding Yu ignored Huang Zhenghong and turned to Li Jie. Li Jie also showed dissatisfaction.

"Four midfielders, Hu Gandang, Dai Guangming, Zhang Yi and the surroundings. The tacit understanding and skills of the four of you will be our greatest capital against Spain this time. Hu Gandang, your task today is the heaviest. In addition to helping the defense line defense, you also have to connect the offense in the midfield... Two forwards, Long Bisheng and Fan Pengfei! We have played games together, but we must pay attention to cooperation! Facing the Spanish defense line, it is not enough to rely on one person's strength, understand?"

Long Bisheng nodded, and Fan Pengfei also nodded - he played football in Spain, so he naturally knew how good these players who have already made waves in La Liga are. Although he is a very proud person, he is also very smart. Football is not a sport for one person. This has long been proven to be an undeniable truth.

"Okay, let's go! This game is our final!"

**************************************
Bojan moves his body easily on the court. This striker born in 90 is another outstanding genius of La Masia. As the only one among the Barcelona youth training products who did not study football minor culture at La Masia Football School full-time, but went home every day to receive normal studies like ordinary students. He continued his normal studies while participating in professional games, and his math scores were the best.Therefore, Bojan Spain is regarded as a high-quality youth idol that his parents can trust. He is also the first idol-style Barcelona local player who has truly come out of Catalonia and may have national appeal. Such a player is called a "genius". Scoring 880 nine goals, the average number of goals per game is 16!Then he was selected into the Spanish youth team at the age of 17, and led the team to win the U-19 and U-[-] European Cups in just one year. This is an unprecedented record!

Everyone is talking about Bojan, will he be the next Ronaldinho or the next Cruyff?Or even surpass them?
For Bo Yang and the Spanish youth team, the Chinese youth team is just a small stone on their way to the championship, not even an obstacle... But no one thought that this small stone bravely showed its sword when facing the behemoth Spain!
