There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 140 The quarterfinals begin!
The next day, at night.

Bukit Jalil Stadium, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"Dear audience friends, good evening everyone. Welcome to the quarter-finals of the Asian Junior Championships. This game will be explained by me, Huang Xiangjian, and my new partner, Shen Fangjian. Come, Xiao Shen, to the audience in front of the TV Say hello to the audience." Huang Xiangjian explained.

"Hi everyone, I'm Shen Fangjian." Shen Fangjian said briefly.

"Haha, Xiao Shen is a bit shy, and he doesn't want to say a word. However, Xiao Shen's professional knowledge is very strong, and I believe our partners will be very understanding." Huang Xiangjian said.

"Thank you Brother Xiang for your encouragement. I will do my best to cooperate with Brother Xiang and explain the game well." Shen Fangjian said.

"Okay, let's go back to the game. In this game, the Chinese national team will face a very strong opponent, the Iraqi national team. What should we pay attention to?" Huang Xiangjian asked Shen Fangjian intentionally, asking Shen Fangjian to show his strength professional ability.

"Well... this Iraqi national team, first of all, is physically different from the average West Asian team. It is physically strong and has a very aggressive style of play. Secondly, their offensive speed is very fast, especially the counterattack speed. The goal scored by the Japanese national team only took five passes, which left a deep impression on me. Finally, we need to pay attention to their key figure, right winger Jasim Meera, this player is a He is a left-footed player who plays against the right foot, and already has a place in the Iraqi adult national team, and it can be said that his ability is already higher than that of his peers!" Shen Fangjian seemed to suddenly open the chatter box, talking endlessly.

"Well, Xiao Shen's analysis of the Iraqi National Junior Team is very thorough. Now, we have got the starting lineup of the Chinese National Junior Team, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Chinese National Junior Team for this game—" Huang Xiangjian explained Said.

As he said that, the director played the starting lineup of the Chinese National Youth Team on the screen of the live broadcast. I saw that the Chinese National Junior Team played a 451 formation in this game:

Forward: Xu Zhou (Guangzhou Fuli);
Midfielders: Lu Chige (Guangzhou Hengda), Cai Zhiyu (Jiangsu FC), Chen Ting (Friendship Team), Fang Zhi (Shandong Qilu), Wei Yi (Guangzhou Hengda);
Defenders: Bovas (Shanghai Shenhua), Jiang Yicai (BJ Yulinjun), Chocolate (Dalian Yifeng), Wang Congjun (Shanghai Shanggang);

Goalkeeper: Li Shengrong (Guangzhou Hengda).

"Compared with the starting lineup of the Saudi national youth team in the last game, Liu Binren, who is known for his speed, was removed, center Xu Zhou was replaced, and Wei Yi was pulled to the side. This lineup should be said to be the current national youth team. The team's strongest lineup." Huang Xiangjian explained.

"Yes, it can be seen that Director Zheng Zhi is determined to use all his strength to face his opponent head-on. After all, only the victor can enter the semi-finals!" Shen Fangjian added.

Players from both sides entered the field.

All the players of the Chinese National Junior Team are full of energy and fighting spirit!
And several of the players of the Iraqi National Junior Team have beards, they don't look like children of the age group of the National Junior Team!
After the process of singing the national anthem and shaking hands between players from both sides, the two teams chose sides, and Fang Zhi, the captain of the Chinese National Junior Team, came out.

The captain of the Iraqi national team is a short, mature-looking player named Fahd.

The referee was Okada Yashita from Japan. After asking the captains of the two teams, he tossed a coin.

As a result, Fahd guessed correctly that the Iraqi national team kicked off in the first half and attacked first.

Players from both sides take their positions.

"Shut up!"

With the whistle of the referee Okada, the game began!
The Iraqi national team kicked off...

"After the opening, the Iraqi national team did not rush to attack, but slowly fell in the backcourt..." Shen Fangjian explained.

"Well, this may have something to do with the schedule of the knockout rounds. From the quarter-finals to the quarter-finals, there are two matches a week, which requires high physical fitness for the team. And for players of this age, even if they are physically fit It can support the whole field, and it is difficult to guarantee a high degree of concentration throughout the game! Therefore, this game is a great test of the willpower of both sides!" Huang Xiangjian explained.

As soon as Huang Xiangjian finished speaking, the Iraqi National Junior Team suddenly accelerated the pace of the game——

Captain Fahd kicked a through ball obliquely to the ribs and directly found the "sharp knife" Jasim Meera in the team!

Chen Ting is up for grabs—

"Snapped!"

Jasim Meera's foot frequency was faster, and he made a horizontal move, passing Chen Ting!
"Oops!" Chen Ting yelled that it was not good, and was about to reach out to pull Jasim Meera, but he was worried that he would end up with the cards.

Jassim Meera managed to get rid of it and made it to the middle!
Chinese national youth team defender Chocolate stepped forward.

Jassim Meera suddenly visibly swings his leg—

"Want to hit the goal!?" Chocolate said alertly, then turned around to block his shot.

Jassim Meera changed direction with his ankle, feinted a shot, and passed the chocolate, but the next movement was very fast, with a slight adjustment, a cold shot from the inside of his foot!

The football rolls to the far corner of the goal!

Li Shengrong, the goalkeeper of the Chinese National Junior Team, was very focused, and he rushed sideways, barely holding the ball out of the goal.

"This ball is very dangerous! The opponent used the gap between our midfielder and the full back to launch an attack. First, Chen Ting was broken through, and then Chocolate also ate the opponent's fake move. Jasim Meera's foot speed Very fast, at least two people are needed to defend! Although this kick is not powerful, it is very clever and the angle is very tricky!" Huang Xiangjian explained very nervously.

Iraqi National Team wins a corner.

Chen Ting approached Chocolate and admitted his defensive mistake.

The head coach Zheng Zhi was watching from the sidelines. His mind was very clear. Fortunately, Chen Ting did not extend that hand, otherwise there would have been at least a yellow card, and he would have given the opponent a chance to set the ball in an excellent position!
Moreover, Chen Ting had received a yellow card when he played against the Saudi national team in the quarter-finals. If he applied for another yellow card at this time, he would be suspended for accumulative yellow cards and miss the next semi-finals!

After Chen Ting explained to Chocolate, he immediately returned to his position to defend.

"Shut up!"

The referee Okada also blew his whistle.

Iraqi national team captain Fahd takes a corner kick——

Central defender Jiang Yicai of the Chinese National Junior Team jumped high and cleared the ball with a header.

When the football came to the periphery, the players of the Iraqi National Junior Team judged the second penalty very quickly and grabbed the ball before the players of the Chinese National Junior Team.

The football was assigned to the wing and came to the feet of captain Fahd.

Fahd was very decisive. Without looking up, he kicked the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese National Youth Team. The ball seemed to be passed and shot, but the ball was very fast and very dangerous!

"Boom!"

At the critical moment, Chen Ting kicked out of the chaotic army and cleared the ball!

All of a sudden, the defensive pressure of the Chinese National Youth Team increased sharply!

On the sidelines, Zheng Zhi, the coach of the Chinese National Junior Team, frowned and said to himself, "Come on everyone, we must survive the opponent's opening 'three tricks'..."
