The strongest winger

Chapter 187
******
The quarter-finals between the Chinese National Youth Team and the Spanish National Youth Team will be held at 1:4 p.m. local time on the 24th in the Netherlands, which is 07:30 p.m. on the 25th BJ time. According to the usual office workers who watch the game, they must go to bed early in the evening to watch the game. But today’s game does not need to be like this, because the game kicks off at 02:30 a.m. on Saturday, which will not prevent these fans from staying up late to watch the game.

On this day, the seats and boxes of the football-related themed bars have long been booked. Those fans who have not booked boxes or seats can only invite their good friends to buy some beer and snacks such as peanuts at home. However, the atmosphere at home cannot be compared with that of theme bars.

Before the strong dialogue between the Chinese team and Spain, there will be a quarter-final match at the Hagewald Stadium in Utrecht-Italy and Morocco. Let alone this game, it is worth mentioning that there is a shadow of a Chinese in this game--Liu Tiejun, the second assistant referee of this game.

Of course, this game also attracted Chinese fans who could not rush to Tilburg to watch the game in Utrecht.

In this game, the two sides scored 10:1 in nine 1 minutes of regular time, and in the ensuing three 10 minutes of overtime, both sides scored an incredible goal each, making it 2:2, and finally had to conduct a brutal penalty shootout.

In the five rounds of penalty kicks, the Italian youth team missed three penalties, while Morocco only missed one penalty. Therefore, Morocco defeated Italy 4:2 on penalties and 6:4 in total, becoming the first team to advance to the semi-finals.

******
Since the Chinese National Youth Team and the Spanish National Youth Team are the two teams with the strongest offensive capabilities in this World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, the number of fans attracted to the scene is naturally the most since the start of the game. It is said that before this game, many local Dutch fans booked tickets for this game. What is interesting is that the fans of both sides of the game won less than half of the tickets of the Dutch local fans.

From another point of view, the attention of this game is more attractive than the quarter-finals of another South American derby between Brazil and Argentina that will be held at the same time the next day.

Coupled with the deliberate publicity of the Dutch media before the game, and the origin of Aiello and Spanish football, it is enough to attract the attention of enough fans. What is more important is that the Chinese National Youth Team has killed the runner-up, third and third runner-up of the European Youth Championship from the group stage to the quarter-finals.

The attention to this game has naturally also increased.

……

……

The shouts in the sky above the Willem II Stadium have not stopped since the players from both sides entered the field to warm up. This game is indeed worthy of being called the final staged in advance. The fans in the stands can tell how much attention this game has. There are not a few TV stations around the world that broadcast this game live.

"CCTV, CCTV, good morning, viewers and friends. You are watching the second quarter-finals of the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. In this game, the Chinese National Youth Team are wearing traditional white jerseys and white shorts, while the players from the Spanish National Youth Team are wearing red jerseys and black shorts... The starting lineup of the Chinese team is like this. The goalkeeper is still No. 1 Yang Cheng, and the four defenders are Zheng Tao, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Ming and Tan Wangsong. Tao, at the back is Zhao Xuri, with Zhou Haibing and Hao Junmin on both sides, and the two forwards are Ai Luo and Gao Lin..."

Taking advantage of the period just before kick-off, Huang Jianxiang first reported the starting lineups of both sides.

"This game is the first time in the history of the Chinese National Youth Team to reach the quarter-finals and the first quarter-finals. That is to say, before this game, these boys in front of us have created a new record for the National Youth Team in the World Youth Championship. Do you still remember what the team's top star Ai Luo said before the first game? He said that his goal is the championship. It was not until the quarter-finals that I believed what he said. He led the national youth team step by step. In the final, they beat the German national youth team 1:4 and reached the quarterfinals, which means that they will be the semifinals if they go one step further..."

"Now the one attacking with the ball is Spain's No. 16 player David Silva. He is also Aiello's teammate in Valencia. The relationship between the two sides is very good..."

Amidst Huang Jianxiang's eloquent reports, the game on the field has already progressed to the second minute.

At this moment, Aiello, who helped the team defend, kicked David Silva, who was about to move forward with the ball, to the ground, which was also a greeting to his friend and teammate of the club.

"Hey... David, long time no see."

As soon as David Silva was put on the ground, Ai Luo smiled and walked over to help him up, and greeted him at the same time.

David Silva dribbled the ball just now and saw a white shadow, and he was put on the ground. Just when he was about to get angry, he was helped up. When he looked up, he saw Ai Luo with a smile on his face.

Ai Luo grinned again, and did not continue to reply. He turned around and walked to his position. His task in this game was to score a goal. This time he returned to defense just to say hello to his good friend. After the greeting, he naturally returned to his position and waited for the opportunity.

……

……

As the core of the Chinese team's offense, Aiello will naturally have many people defending him. However, this Spanish national youth team does not have a full-time defensive midfielder, and Ailuo's running position is basically not fixed, and he never stays in one place for too long.

Because often in the knockout rounds, no one can afford to lose, so they will play the game in a regular manner, and will not attack blindly with all their strength.

******
After Aiello took the ball, three Spanish defensive players immediately gathered around him.

Jose Enrique, Juan Fran and Cesc Fabregas.

But Ai Luo didn't bother with them, nor did he intend to overtake them, because he had already seen Chen Tao in front of him reaching out for the ball, and more importantly, he didn't have a defender by his side, so he passed the football over.

And I continued to run forward. This is the tactical requirement of the Chinese team. It is necessary to run non-stop, especially for the offensive players in the frontcourt. The running position must be flexible and changeable.

Except for Cesc Fabregas in the middle who ran to defend Chen Tao, the rest of them, Jose Enrique and Juan Fran, all chased Aiello. They knew that the Chinese in front of them was the core of the Chinese team's attack—the Terminator!
As soon as Chen Tao received the ball, he encountered the joint defense of Cesc Fabregas and Zapat. He was not surprised that Chen Tao also suffered such a defense. With the progress of the World Youth Championship, his performance became more and more stable and he was under more and more defensive pressure. However, he was not timid. When facing the defense of the two, he still maintained a normal state of mind, trying not to lose the football. At the same time, he used his personal ability to pass the ball to Hao Junmin on the right.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to run forward, preparing to meet Hao Junmin.

After passing four or five feet in this way, the football passed to Ai Luo's side again.

Facing the defense of Juan Fran and Jose Enrique this time, he did not pass the ball again, but pulled the ball to the left with his right foot, and at the same time his body tilted to the left. Juan Fran also moved a step to his right because of this action, but it was only a step, because he quickly realized that it was Ai Luo's fake move.

Sure enough, Ai Luo's body leaning to the left pulled back again, and then his right ankle turned, and the outside of his foot slammed the ball to the right, and his body also started to break through to the right side of his body!

Juan Fran thought that Ai Luo was a fake move and only moved half a step towards the left side of his body, so when he found that Ai Luo had really made a breakthrough, he did not follow up immediately, but Zhengyin's full-back Jose Enrique followed.

"Nice feint!"

Jose Enrique spotted the ball at Aiello's feet, and then sent his body out suddenly, with his right foot first, and fell to the ground to tackle the ball!

What he didn't expect was that Ai Luo's reaction speed was faster than his. He poked his toe and sent the ball out. Gao Lin had been waiting there for a long time, and then his body jumped up to avoid Jose Enrique's tackle.

Gao Lin understood, he leaned against Alexis, put his foot on the ball, and the football rolled towards Ai Luo's running direction.

Juan Fran and Cesc Fabregas, who reacted the fastest at the moment, rushed towards Ai Luo one after the other, hoping to stop the ball before him, but the ideal is rich, but the reality is skinny. Gao Lin made the ball very well. Ai Luo did not need to adjust and could shoot directly!

Seeing that Ai Luo was about to shoot directly, Alexis also dropped Gao Lin and rushed to Ai Luo.

Aiello then took a long shot. No one touched the ball, not even the goalkeeper Bill Ribas, but the ball missed the goal.

The ball hit the post and flew out of the baseline.

At the same time, Ai Luo's threatening shot also scared the Spanish coach Seth into a cold sweat.

……

……

In the 8th minute, Cesc Fabregas launched an offensive from the middle. He took a long pass from the top of the center circle to find David Silva on the right. After the latter got the ball, he used fake moves to sway past Zhou Haibing and Tan Wangsong.

Zapat grabbed the second spot and then continued to pass the ball to David Silva on the right. The latter made a direct pass. This time Llorente got stuck first and hit the football. However, under the pressure of Feng Xiaoting, he did not push the ball out of the angle, and the football was easily obtained by Yang Cheng.

The two sides did not invest too much force in the first 10 minutes. They just tested each other according to the pre-match requirements of their respective head coaches, but the results of both sides' tests were not good.

Spain mainly relies on overall advancement, while the Chinese team just used Aiello's personal ability to test Spain's defensive level at the beginning.

Seeing this, Clausen has roughly understood Spain's tactical thinking in this game. Spain's defense relies on the overall defense, while the offense relies on the state of David Silva and Llorente to find opportunities and break the deadlock.
