Chapter 200 239 The importance of mastering one more foreign language

4分之一比赛，华国U17移师伊基克挑战墨西哥U17，他们刚刚4：1战胜了东道主智利队。

Huaguo U17 did not expect to receive the same warm welcome as the home team in this Chilean city. Thousands of local fans greeted them at the airport, and a large number of fans cheered for each ordinary training session.

Thousands of Huaguo fans also followed the team to Iquique. Lin Wenlei heard that there will be many fans coming from China or South America in the next few days. There are many travel games that launched the World Junior Tournament tour, which is very popular. Welcome, the rare good results of the Guozihao team have been recognized by the fans, and they hope to witness Huaguo U17 making history on the spot.

This has brought a lot of unexpected income to Chile, the host of the World Junior Championships. The consumption power of Huaguo fans even made the Mexican media very worried. They believed that the organizing committee might favor Huaguo U17 due to economic reasons. Ecuador's free kick and some controversial penalties were repeatedly emphasized.

"Have you seen that, as a traditional football country, we lack experience in all aspects. Their media will know what to do without organizing it, and they will know how to exert public pressure."

Lin Wenlei said this while chatting with Liu Jianhong, director of Jiangxia Sports Channel, and Wei Hongjiang before the game.

These words made Liu Jianhong a little embarrassed.This time, Jiangxia Sports Channel won the copyright of the Huaguo broadcast of the World Junior Games at a high price. Not only did it earn enough popularity, but the advertising revenue was also very satisfactory.When talking about these reports from the Mexican media, he took the initiative to talk about them. He did not expect Lin Wenlei to interpret them in this way, and it was quite reasonable.Liu Jianhong hurried to remedy:

"Yes, we still have a lot to learn. Next we will do some work in this area..."

Lin Wenlei just sighed casually, and didn't mean to criticize the sports channel.They have achieved good results relying on localization and international event thinking based on local factors.Not only has it become the well-deserved No. 1 sports program in North Chu, but it has also established a local sports channel network covering eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, Shanghai River, etc., almost all over the country.It also co-organized the Oriental Sports Channel with Suzaku Satellite TV, which radiates to Chinese-speaking audiences in Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States. The Asian sports element has become the foundation of the station, and it has begun to occupy a lot of sports broadcasting markets.

Lin Wenlei doesn't care about the interests of the sports channel itself. The key is that the broadcast market can affect many sports events and has the right to speak in the sports world.

Most of the income of the AFC now comes from the high royalties of the sports channel. The economic base determines the superstructure. Zhang Jilong, Luo Changhai and other representatives of Chinese football in the AFC are getting more and more voices.

With the support of FlFA chairman Infantino, Zhang Jilong was elected vice-president of FlFA and elected president of the AFC. He also helped a large number of Chinese people to serve as mid- and lower-level officials of the AFC, and his influence within the AFC is growing.

Lin Wenlei waved his hands quickly when he heard Liu Jianhong's words of self-criticism, and explained:
"I didn't say what you mean by your work. What you do is good enough. What I mean is that you have to go through a lot of details before you can understand it. We will naturally know what to do next time there is such a situation..."

Wei Hongjiang also took the opportunity to praise the work of the sports channel. Liu Jianhong was very happy in his heart. He was also quite satisfied with his work for more than a year, and said modestly:
"...We still have to have a good program. Sports, in the final analysis, we still have to talk about results. The results of Lin Jiao's leadership are one of the guarantees for our channel promotion."

Regardless of whether it was Liu Jianhong's compliment or not, the result is indeed one of the important indicators of sports. Lin Wenlei will also attach great importance to it when it does not conflict with the principle. After a short chat and relaxation, he will devote himself to the competition preparation.

Mexico's U17 team played against each other in the Mexico National Cup in 14. At that time, they still won 3:0. However, Lin Wenlei and the team did not underestimate the enemy and prepared carefully.

After four games, through a large amount of data analysis, the Mexican team does not have many secrets for Huaguo U17. Each player is very clear about their opponent's data, and the coaches' appearance arrangements are also very targeted.

In response to the gap in the middle of the Mexican U17 defender's ribs, Lin Wenlei arranged Zhou Duo behind Sun Ge, so that Su Wu could be closer to the striker, with Zhou Bo, Zheng Zhi, and Fan Sheng in the midfield, Gan Rong, Zhou Zhaolin, Xie He, and Guiyang in the back line. Goalkeeper Lu Yiming.

At the Iquique Champions Stadium on November 11, from the very beginning of the game, Huaguo U3 advanced very fast.The full-backs on both sides did not often assist in previous games, and this time the two wingers were fully fired.Gan Rong and Guiyang's frequent penetrations on the side widened the Mexican U17's defense, and then defended the weakness in the Mexican U17's ribs. Zhou Duo's flexible penetration threatened Mexico's goal from the very beginning.

In the 11th minute, Su Wu's straight kick in front of the penalty area formed a beautiful passing and running cooperation with Zhou Duo's response, breaking through Mexico's defense line at once.

After the breakthrough, Zhou Duo crossed the middle, and Sun Ge scored the goal, giving Huaguo U17 the lead.

However, in the next 26 minutes, Zhou Zhaolin was fighting for a header with Mexican U17 center Pedro Lozano. When he fell, his calf was stepped on by Lozano. He couldn't continue the game and was replaced by Xia Jixuan.

The Mexican U17s thought that Xia Jixuan would not enter the state immediately after he came on the field, so they focused on breaking through his position.

But Xia Jixuan would make accurate predictions every time like a god, and then quickly hit the ball and hit a beautiful counterattack.

In the 39th minute, Xia Jixuan judged in advance that Gabriel was going to pass the ball, and suddenly cut the ball around the front, and then passed it long to Su Wu.

During Su Wu's rapid advance, Ronaldinho's classic no-look pass came. Zhou Duo, who was watching the breakthrough, suddenly pushed the ball to the feet of Sun Ge on the other side.

Sun Ge made some adjustments during his running, and he took a kick to meet the ball. After the football passed the goalkeeper Fiddlesticks, who was a little ahead of the attack, it fell slightly and flew into the goal, 2:0.

What was particularly strange to Lin Wenlei during the intermission was that Xia Jixuan's predictions were astonishingly accurate, and he started asking questions as soon as they met.And Xia Jixuan always brazenly said that his brain is so good.

Su Wu couldn't stand it and exposed the truth of the matter:

"He has good ears, and the opponent always calls Lozano to get ready to catch the ball, yelling clearly..."

Seeing that the whole team hadn't reacted for a while, Su Wu added:
"The Mexicans used Spanish, as if they had told Lao Xia specifically, and he couldn't prevent it from happening..."

Unexpectedly, the matter was so simple. It was because the Mexican players did not pay attention to secrecy, and Xia Jixuan, who played in Mallorca, Spain, took advantage of it. The whole team was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Lin Wenlei couldn't help laughing a few times, and then confessed:
"This can be considered as a use of the brain, but it has to prevent people from reacting and taking advantage of this breakthrough. Xie He pays attention to supplementing the defense..."

Sure enough, in the second half, it was obvious that Xia Jixuan was taken advantage of the situation. After he jumped up early, a low ball was passed to Lozano.Fortunately, Xie He was focused, and he blocked Lozano at the first time, and then blocked the football with Xia Jixuan.

After a while, Xia Jixuan returned to his off-point state, and assisted Zhou Duo again in the 18th minute of the second half, scoring the third goal.

Now the Mexican U17 players gave up a little, and played the rest of the game hastily.

It seemed that there was nothing particularly exciting about being promoted to the top 4. Everyone immediately surrounded Xia Jixuan and asked him how he was able to defend against his opponent.
"They were very rigid. In the second half, they said the opposite, shouting for a header...I was a little embarrassed to break it..."

This amusing detail somewhat dilutes the joy of promotion, and they all turn their attention to the next opponent.

Hua Guo U17 will move to Santiago, the capital of Chile after advancing to the top four, and will face the four-time world champion Nigeria at the Playa Ancha Stadium on November 4.

尼日利亚是世界青少年比赛中的强队，这一届更是先后6：0大胜澳大利亚，3：0淘汰巴西，队中9号奥希姆享仅仅5场比赛就打进了7球，是孙格最佳射手的最大竞争者（孙格8球）。

In this game, Huaguo U17 sent a combination of forward Sun Ge and Zhao Yao, midfielder Su Wu, Wang Jie, Fan Sheng, Zhou Bo, and Meng Xinyan.Back line Xie He, Xia Jixuan, Guiyang, goalkeeper Lu Yiming.

Zhou Zhaolin will miss the two most important games because of a sprained calf and a slight bone fracture.However, he refused to immediately go to the Miami Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center for treatment, but chose to follow the team for conservative treatment, not wanting to miss an important moment of the team.

The team played very cautiously from the very beginning. Meng Xinyan clung to No. 10 Nwakali, and Sheikh was in charge of No. 9 Oshimxiang. By keeping a close eye on these two key players, the threat from Nigeria was fully digested. Mostly.

The Nigerian players are quite physically strong, and their strides are very spaced. They can catch up with or get rid of Huaguo U17 in three or two steps. Many teams can't match up.

However, after the devastation of two Argentine U20 teams, Huaguo U17 learned to avoid physical contact by passing the ball.In defense, it is also consumed layer by layer, and finally steals the ball.

With a way to deal with it, and it is still somewhat effective, Huaguo U17 is not so flustered, and they play well.

After 20 minutes of consumption, Nigeria's best personal counterattack with the ball and defense relying on physical advantages did not work, but was a little impatient.

Huaguo U17 took advantage of one of their pass errors, and Meng Xinyan who got the ball directly kicked the ball out, and the next players did the same, pulling the formation very wide. Meng Xinyan, Zhou Bo, Wang Jie, and Su Wu all passed the ball with one kick. , quickly and smoothly advance to the frontcourt.

Su Wu made a push to meet the ball, and the football flew past the Nigerian defense line. Zhao Yao, who started quickly, caught up with the football and passed the ball to the middle without stopping. Sun Ge scored a goal with a push.

After taking the lead, the Huaguo U17 did not act unreasonably as usual, but resolutely retreated. This usual team reaction was beyond the Nigerian team's surprise.

From the very beginning of the game, Meng Xinyan didn't appear on the scene except for the kick that was the source of the goal. He just kept a steady eye on Nigeria's No. 10 Nwakari, even if he withdrew to his own half.There are no outstanding steals, even marking is pulling and pushing, and there are awkward hugs and falls every now and then, which is very embarrassing.

But it is this kind of small fouls that continue, and the yellow card is not enough to mark, so that the Nigerian team with Enwaka as the core has no organization in offense, so they have to start fighting alone.

Even playing alone, Huaguo U17 failed to have a few successful one-on-one defenses, and even Su Wu and Zhou Bo, who have always had a chic style of play, became the background for breakthroughs many times.

From the audience's point of view, Huaguo U17's defenders are powerful, making multiple steals or forcing the Nigerian players to make hasty kicks, and the defense is very successful.

But the coaches and players of Huaguo U17 know that their physical fitness theory has played a role. This kind of joy even exceeds the joy of leading, which means that they have found a way to fight against European and American teams.

The Huaguo U17, who played more and more relaxed, was not in a hurry even though Nigerian forward Oshim enjoyed a long pass at the beginning of the second half, and then two steps away from Sheikh and scored a long shot to tie the score. He was still organized offense and defense.

In the 12th minute of the second half, when Xie He was entangled with Oshimxiang, Guiyang suddenly went up and stabbed away the football, and then took a step and pushed it to Fan Sheng, who passed the frontcourt.

Sun Ge jumped up with a header and ferried the ball behind the two defenders. Zhou Duo, who had just come on the field, started in time and got the football first.

The Nigerian team, eager to tie the score, was counterattacked twice in a row, one of which was played by Outranger at a super level, and Su Wu's lob shot was lifted off the crossbar.Once, Zhou Duo took over Wang Jie and pushed in front of the goal and hit the post.These two counterattacks knocked out Nigeria's counterattack momentum. In the 31st minute, Su Wu suddenly stopped passing the ball and dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area. After breaking through twice in a row, he kicked and shot at the goalkeeper, passing through Otranger's crotch and flying into the goal.

This goal completely ignited the atmosphere of the Playa Ancha Stadium, as well as the emotions of the audience in front of the domestic TV in Huaguo, and also broke the will of the Nigerian players.

Afterwards, the Nigerian players all fell into personal recklessness. Even if their coach replaced two strikers in a row, it would be difficult to threaten Huaguo U17's defense by fighting alone.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole team celebrated wildly.

Xia Jixuan was about to jump on Lu Yiming's back to celebrate, and Lu Yiming also ran away out of excitement, wanting to hug Guiyang, who was on the goal line for rescue, but Xia Jixuan accidentally missed and sprained his hip when he landed. ankle.

This own goal made the team dumbfounded, because of the excellent work of Hoffman's team doctors and their careful prevention, there were no injuries, only two injuries were concentrated in the central defender position.

Realizing that the most important final was yet to come, Xia Jixuan was so anxious that he wanted to slap himself, but it was Lin Wenlei who stood up and comforted Xia Jixuan and Lu Yiming who were both sobbing.

"Why, besides your rotten egg, you can't make chicken cakes?... You have to have confidence in your teammates, why don't you still have Su Xin? Why don't you have confidence in Su Xin?..."

These words reassured the worried team a little. Su Xin may not have the experience of Zhou Zhaolin and Xia Jixuan, but his physical fitness is much better than them, and he has been teased countless times by Sun Ge and Zhao Yao. Growth is also seen by everyone.Only now did they let go of their worries, and regained the joy they deserved to advance to the finals.
