Chapter 432
Chapter 432
There were two other games at the same time as the match with the Chinese team. One was Spain against Morocco. The young matadors defeated Morocco 3:1.
Another game is Argentina vs. the United States.
Argentina is considered to be the favorite to win this World Youth Championship.They also have the tradition of the World Youth Championship. They have won the World Youth Championship four times before, and they are the team that has won the most championships.
But their first appearance in this World Youth Championship was a failure.They even lost to the United States with a score of 0:1.
It can be regarded as the biggest upset of this World Youth Championship so far...
※※※
"Argentina lost?" On the bus back to the hotel, Rong Guang heard his teammates talking about the other two games.He was also surprised when he heard that Argentina had lost.
"Yes, yes." Seeing that Rong Guang took the initiative to talk to himself, Gao Lin was very happy.
"Aren't they strong?"
"So it's unpopular, unpopular! I didn't expect that a team as strong as Argentina would lose..."
The whole car was talking about Argentina.
In the World Youth Championship, China and Argentina still have a historical relationship.
In the last World Youth Championship held in Argentina, the Chinese National Youth Team was defeated by the Argentine team.
Although a group of people changed after four years, everyone's concern for Argentina is the same.
Rong Guang is also related, but he has another purpose, he asked: "How is Messi doing?"
"It is said that the performance is quite average."
After hearing such an answer, Rong Guang fell into deep thought again.
Messi's condition is not very good... Then Argentina can still make it out of the group stage. Do I still have a chance to fight this legendary genius?
Rong Guang suddenly worried about the fate of Argentina.
※※※
The unexpected loss made the whole Argentine team downcast, which hit them too hard.Before the game, everyone said they were the favorites and they deserved to win.America is not worth mentioning at all.
Everyone went for the victory, and did not make any psychological preparations such as "in case of losing to the United States".
As a result, when the failure really came, they didn't know how to face it.
Not only in the locker room, but also on the bus back to the hotel, everyone seemed very quiet, or silent.
They are like a group of fighting cocks who have lost a fight, and they no longer have the pride they had before.
Messi was among them, and he buried his head even lower.
Because he is guilty, more guilty than all his teammates.
Before the game, he was considered the leader of this Argentine team, the biggest star in the team.He should shoulder the responsibility of leading Argentina to the title.Messi is also happy to take on such responsibilities.
Some media even compared him to Rong Guang.
It's a flattery for him, and he's happy about it.
But the actual performance is so bad...
The results of the three games of the day are being broadcast on the bus radio.
"...In the three games played at the same time, it was the Chinese team that stood out. They played very aggressive football in the game, beautiful and sharp. At the same time, their core and the biggest star player in this World Youth Championship, Rong, opened the scoring for the team in the game, and finally helped the Chinese team defeat the runner-up Turkish youth team in the European Football Youth Championship 2:0 in the game..."
Glory scored a goal and helped the team win!
awesome!
And think about it before the game, when the media compared him to Rong Guang, he was still a little smug and complacent.
He felt his face was very red right now, and he wished that there would be a big crack in the ground for him to crawl in.
What a shame!
Thinking of this, Messi buried his head even deeper...
※※※
Back at the hotel, the Chinese team was warmly received and sympathized by the leaders of the Football Association.
Including Rong Guang, everyone was shaken by the leaders of the Football Association and said words of encouragement.
Some teammates seemed excited.
Only Rong Guang really wanted to yawn—it was so boring, and he didn't mention the money after talking for a long time... It seems that there is really no prize money for the game of the national team!
The game against Turkey was played in the afternoon, and there was plenty of time after returning to the hotel.
Krautzen didn't just herd the players.
Instead, after dinner, he called all the team players into the meeting room, and then began to replay the game that just ended for them. By watching the video of the game, he explained to the players what was good and what was not good in the game, those people need to pay attention, and those people need to change...
Because the game has just ended, it is best to review it at this time.
So Krautchen didn't dare to let the players take a holiday after the game.
And most of the players in the Chinese youth team have become accustomed to Kraushen's approach.
They have indeed gained a lot from this kind of game analysis and feel that they have made rapid progress.
In this replay, Clausen mainly raised the issue of the team's low ability to seize opportunities.
However, this problem cannot be solved with a day or two of training.
The ability to seize opportunities to score is a very comprehensive ability, and shooting technology is only one of them.
In addition, there is the ability to run and respond, as well as the psychological quality and even physical fitness to get opportunities in front of the goal.
Therefore, in the replay, Krautchen proposed a solution. It is unrealistic to expect these players to immediately become Inzaghi.
So in the next game, Rongguang scored more goals.
The task of organizing the attack was given to Cheng Tao.
※※※
Because they won the first game, and it was a beautiful win, the Chinese team immediately became the team that attracted much attention in the World Youth Championship.
Even their warm-up training on the lawn outside the hotel will attract a lot of crowds.
All this makes the players of the Chinese team feel very novel-they have never enjoyed such treatment.
Now they feel like they really are stars.
The high-profile felt good, but it didn't make them feel pressured.
After the first game, they are also full of confidence in themselves.
They believe they are powerful, as Krautzen said.
Those who can persevere to the end in those fifteen days of training are strong.
Those who can keep up with the rhythm of glory in training and competitions are also powerful.
So...they are powerful!
Let those people watch if they want to watch, we have nothing to worry about!

Feng Mingjian was preparing for the next game with Clausen's coaching team, and he was very curious about what he saw.
On the faces of these Chinese players, there was...a kind of self-confidence from the bottom of their hearts?
This is not the kind of self-confidence that is pretended to be in the face of the leader's encouragement, that kind of self-confidence... a little "crazy" and too "excited".
This kind of confidence is very calm, without the high-profile rush to show off "I am confident", but it is very confident.
Feng Mingjian has seen many Chinese national players, but he has never seen such confidence on their faces.
This is true self-confidence.
There is no need to rely on the encouragement, praise and flattery of others to support your confidence.
And even if it's the same group of players, they weren't like this before...
Feng Mingjian recalled carefully, it seemed that after the match against Turkey, that was it.
When everyone talks about the game, there is a wave of confidence!
The same is true in training.
That's a really...interesting change.
It seems that since the glory came, this team has undergone such a transformation.
Feng Mingjian suddenly became curious.If it continues like this, what will this team look like?
※※※
The next game will be three days after the first game, on June [-]th, China will face Ukraine at the same venue.
Ukraine also won the first round of the group stage, beating Panama 3-1.
And because the number of goals is one more than that of the Chinese team, it ranks first in the group, while the Chinese team ranks second in the group.
So the next game will be a game that determines who can qualify early, and it may also be a key battle to determine who will become the first in the group.
There will be no mercy in this game.
In addition, the results of other World Youth Championship group matches are as follows: In another group match in Group C, Chile beat Honduras 8-0.
Germany defeated Egypt 2-0 in Group D.
Brazil in Group F also had a bad start. In the first game, they were tied by the "African Eagles" Nigerian youth team.
Colombia beat Italy 2-0 in Group E.
Next, on the night of June 1, the last two Asian teams will make their debut. South Korea in Group F lost to Switzerland 2:1. Syria drew 1-[-] with Canada in Group E.
As a result, among the four Asian teams participating in the World Youth Championship, only the Chinese team won.
The East Asian duo, Japan and South Korea, both lost, while Syria drew to a draw.
On the afternoon of June [-], the Chinese team played for the second time.
There are also two other games going on at the same time, Morocco vs. Honduras in Group C and Egypt vs. Argentina in Group D.
It was a coincidence that the Chinese team's game and Argentina's game were once again placed on the same day and at the same time.
Therefore, it is impossible for Rongguang to watch the game of Argentina, and it is impossible for Messi to watch the game of the Chinese team.
They can also play their own game well first, and then care about each other.
Rongguang's situation is better than Messi's.
Because they have already won a game first.
And Messi has no way out. If Argentina loses this game again, it will be troublesome to qualify for the group.
Although it is said that the four teams with the best results will advance to the top [-], if Argentina advances to the top [-] in this form, it would be a shame for them, and the media and fans in Argentina would not accept it.
Before coming on the field, Messi's expression was always serious.
In this match, no matter who stood in front of him, he would win!
"Messi? Messi?" Aguero called twice before calling Messi "wake up".
Messi, who came back to his senses, saw Aguero: "Uh, what's the matter, Akun?"
Aguero frowned and said: "No, I was scared by your expression just now, and I want to ask you what's wrong..."
"My expression just now?" Messi touched his face and said.
"Yeah, it's very hideous... It's like tearing someone apart! This is the first time I've seen such an expression on your face... What's the reason?"
"Uh, no, it's nothing. Maybe I want to win too much?" Messi said with a smile.
Aguero still said to him with some worry: "It's good that you are fine, if you have any problems, remember to tell me, don't force yourself!"
Messi smiled from the bottom of his heart this time. He thanked his good friend: "I will, Ah Kun, we are good friends!"
"Just remember, if there is any problem, don't carry it yourself!"
Messi saw Aguero's thumbs up, but he was thinking in his heart-I'm afraid I can't carry this problem with you, Akun.
