Football: The immortal legend on the green field

Before the Chinese team's game, yesterday, Group A and Group C finished all their group stage matches. The Spanish team continued their hot form, defeating Morocco 3:1, Chile 7:0, and then Honduras 3:0.

In Group C, Morocco won the final match against Chile 1:0 and advanced together with Spain with 6 points. As for whether Chile with 3 points can advance, it depends on the results of the games in other groups.

The first team to go home from this World Youth Championship has already appeared, and that is Honduras, which lost three games in a row. However, they are not alone. In the two matches of Group A held on the evening of the 17th, a dramatic scene occurred. The host Netherlands team defeated Benin 1:0. The East Asian powerhouse Japan had the advantage throughout the match against Australia, but they just couldn't score. In the end, they shook hands with Australia 1:1.

In the end, the Netherlands team in Group A won all three games and ranked first with 9 points. Japan, Benin and Australia all drew with each other and had 2 points each. The three teams began to compare goal difference. Australia with a goal difference of -3 was eliminated first. Japan and Benin both had a goal difference of -1. Japan scored only one goal more than Benin and narrowly advanced from the group.

There were four matches on July 7th. At 18 pm local time (3 pm Beijing time), the matches between China and Panama, and between Turkey and Ukraine kicked off at the same time. Because Turkey was the number one seed in the group, their match with Ukraine remained in Utrecht. China and Panama had to take the bus provided by the organizing committee and drive 10 kilometers to Dottich for the final group match.

In addition to the two matches held in the afternoon today, the final group stage match between Group D's Argentina and Germany and the United States and Egypt will also be held at 7pm.

When the Chinese team's bus drove into the Dottihem Stadium, deafening cheers came from the audience.

Liu Jianhong: "Dear viewers, I am now broadcasting the final match of the Chinese National Youth Team's group stage live from the Dottigheim Stadium in the Dutch port city. In the first two games, the Chinese team tried out two different lineups, and people have been arguing about which one was the Chinese team's main lineup."

"Today we seem to see the true strength of the Chinese team emerge. Except for Jiang Ning who was suspended due to a red card and Tan Wangsong who had cramps at the end of the last game, the 11 players on the Chinese team today were arranged in order of numbers. All the other players from No. 1 to No. 11 appeared in the starting lineup for this game."

"Coach Zhang! What do you think of this list?"

"Mr. Krauchen is really confident! When the Chinese team's roster numbers were first announced, I guessed that these 11 players should be the real main force, because from No. 1 to No. 11, they include all seven players who play overseas."

"The striker is Dong Fangzhuo from Manchester United. Krauschen fielded five midfielders in this game, all of whom are from European league clubs. In addition, there is Zeng Cheng, the goalkeeper from the Indonesian league. This lineup is luxurious. Only the back line is made up of players from the domestic league."

"But this phenomenon will change after this World Youth Championship. Serie A giants AC Milan have already taken a fancy to three young players of the Chinese National Youth Team in this World Youth Championship. They are interested in signing Sun Ke, Tan Wangsong and Zhang Fanlin."

Fan A: "Fuck, this is impossible! AC Milan, why do I seem to hear news that I shouldn't hear? AC Milan would take a fancy to these three? Why not Shen Bin? Even Feng Xiaoting is better than Tan Wangsong and the others!"

Fan B: "Perhaps what Zhang Lu heard was just the tip of the iceberg of the popularity of the national youth team players. Didn't Real Madrid say they were interested in Shen Bin? Can AC Milan still compete with Real Madrid?"

Fan C: "Shen Bin is a BG, what about Feng Xiaoting? What does Feng Xiaoting say?"

Zhang Lu: "From the lineup of the national youth team, we can see that they think it is not wise to choose opponents. It is wise to play well in every game and learn valuable experience from it. Now the Chinese team is not always troubled by choosing opponents like before, but this national youth team is full of confidence and has been following the route they set."

"They are not familiar with each other very well. After the performance of the players in the first two games, the coaching staff seems to have found the best combination. This still needs to be verified through the games."

"As for who our next opponents will be, let fate decide! I believe we are not afraid of any opponent. This is the confidence that a truly strong team should have."

Shen Bin was standing at the top of his own penalty area on the court, moving his body and waiting for the kick-off.

Although there is a small chance that they will finish second in the group if they lose this game, they will most likely go to The Hague in the round of 16 instead of staying in the familiar Utrecht. Only by defeating Panama can they avoid the pain of traveling.

The first knockout match will be against Germany or Argentina led by Messi, but if they win, they may meet the powerful Brazil in the quarterfinals.

But the coaching staff had already said before the game: "Victory is our goal."

After the game started, careful people had already noticed that the Chinese team was a little different from the previous two games.

In the studio of Heilongjiang Provincial Television Station, veteran coach Ge Jiaxiang sat in the center of the front row, with the No. 1 leader of the Provincial Propaganda Department and the chairman of the Provincial Sports Commission on his left and right.

Zhang Tianhe from the football department of the Provincial Sports Committee was also there.

After the two games, the whole Jinling, both the government agencies and the public, were shocked by the performance of the National Youth Team. Shen Bin's first coach Ge Jiaxiang gained great reputation in society. At the invitation of the Heilongjiang Propaganda Department, some people related to Shen Bin, including Ge Jiaxiang, were invited to the most luxurious venue in the province to watch the last stop of the Chinese National Youth Team's group match.

"They seem a little distracted..." Zhang Tianhe said to the big screen in front of him.

"What did you find out?" Ge Jiaxiang tilted his head and looked at Zhang Tianhe.

"Well, maybe showing up early made them think too much." Zhang Jun said, holding his chin. In fact, this is normal. No one can remain calm in the face of such a wonderful future.

Zhang Tianhe has been surfing the Internet these days and has learned that many domestic companies have begun to send people to the Netherlands to contact the players and invite them to shoot commercials and endorsements. Success on the field will inevitably bring economic benefits, but sudden money is the enemy of playing football. If you don't handle it well, it is normal to be distracted by it.

After the National Olympic Team qualified ahead of schedule, there was a lot of praise in the country, but it was of no benefit to those young people.
