Chapter 209 The situation in the first round
On the 25th, the invitational tournament entered its third match day, and the remaining three teams will also be on the stage today.
First of all, in the three games played in the morning, Group E, Spain 3:0 Costa Rica, South Africa 1:0 UAE; Group F, Brazil 3:2 France.
What's interesting about Spain's game is that the three goals were actually led by two full-backs Ramos and Fran, which made the chosen striker Navas do nothing.
This game between Bafa is like a replica of the World Cup final two years ago. There are several outstanding players on both sides to support the team. Obviously, the Brazilian team with Diego, Fernandinho and Rodrigo performed better, far better than the French team with talented young players such as Gurkuf, Koscheerny, and Bowley but lacking cohesion.
The two sides' counterattack style also presented a wonderful visual feast for the audience off the court. Both are worthy of being the kings in the youth field. Although it is just an amateur game, the tactical qualities of the players have reached the level of professional youth training, and the star players among them have even attracted the attention of scouts.
France is the most popular country in international football in the past two years. As the first country in the world to win the World Cup and European Cup, football has become the most eye-catching business card of the Gauls and has also given their Chinese strong confidence.
The group of French players who came to Zagreb performed particularly clearly. They dared to make moves when they got the ball, dared to pass and break through. Every frame of the action exuded the domineering and pride of "I'm the best in the world".
However, because of too much confidence, everyone wants to show off, which directly weakens the overall strength of the team.
In the end, the Brazilian boys successfully maintained their advantage and avenged the national team two years ago.
In the afternoon, we played three more games and completed 14 games of the first round of group stages. The situation in each group began to show signs.
Group F, Japan 2:1 Senegal.
Japan's campus football is very developed and has always been a fertile ground for the growth of Japanese players.
The Japanese team that came to Zagreb was the champion of last year's All-Japan Junior High School Football Championship. The young players have solid basic skills, are disciplined on the court, and play with rules and regulations.
Although the opponent's excellent physical condition knocked Japanese players to the ground again and again, with his tenacious style and outstanding technical advantages, the Japanese team began to gradually stabilize the situation. Through skillful ball control and fast-paced transmission, they dismembered the opponent's advantages piece by piece like a butcher Ding cut a cow, and finally successfully transformed into their own victory.
Zhao Dayu has a deep understanding of the strength of Japanese football. At this moment, he saw their wonderful performance with his own eyes, and even more felt that the prophecy that Japanese football will eventually stand at the top of the world is by no means a false statement.
The Chinese team players also stood out from the national junior high school football competition and represented the highest level of students of the same age in the country. However, after witnessing the performance of students of the same age in Japan, they truly realized that there is indeed a reason for the strength of other people's football.
They are still in the confrontation with European strong teams, satisfied with drawing opponents and even losing less. However, Japanese teenagers have already shown their technical advantages confidently and resolutely in the confrontation with world powers.
This is the gap. The professionalization of Chinese football was one year later than Japan, but it has been lagging behind at least ten years since its development.
Group g, Mexico 2:2 Portugal, Bulgaria 0:1 Egypt.
Mexico is known as the enhanced version of the Japanese team. Although its figure is average, it has become the "king of Central and North America" with its delicate technical advantages.
In this Mexican team, No. 18 forward Guardado and No. 1 goalkeeper Ochoa became the most dazzling stars. The two performed well one after another, effectively defending the team's honor.
Portugal has never been a good person. There is no need to explain the era of the long-standing "Black Panther" Eusebio. It only looks at the Portugal that reached the semi-finals in the European Cup that just ended last month.
This Portuguese team with Figo and Rui Costa is known as the golden generation of Portuguese football. Their super strength has made many people know this maroon legion and began to fall in love with this fruit team from the Iberian Peninsula.
The Portuguese youth team, which came to Croatia with the supreme honor of the national team, also has extremely strong strength. Several players in the team have entered the scope of professional clubs, among which Cristiano Ronaldo, the No. 7 left winger, is the most dazzling.
This young man, born in Madeira, a small island in the overseas Portugal, has slightly curly fluffy hair, youthful spots on his cheeks, and buck teeth on his mouth. The young man is thin, but has extremely strong explosive power and has excellent dribbling skills.
As Cristiano, who has the same name as Ronaldo and Ronaldinho of Brazil, the potential it has shown is also worth looking forward to.
When locals heard that Ronaldo was here, they were very excited to come to see his performance and affectionately called him "Little Ronaldo".
Ronaldo's performance did not disappoint people's expectations. His breakthrough on the wing was extremely fierce. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall and came and went smoothly among a group of Mexican players around 1.7 meters, and his feet were no less skilled than the opponent.
The show-off movements that appear from time to time make the small Mexican player who claims to be a skilled person angry and can only use rough fouls to stop him from dribbling, and he also paid the price of three yellow cards.
Although Ronaldo's performance is indeed eye-catching, he can also see the bad habit of being too sticky and good at performing well in young players. Although it helped the team equalize the score, it was also too obsessed with dribbling and missed the best opportunity to pass the ball. When passing but not passing or shooting, it has a great impact on the team's offensive and defensive rhythm.
The arrogant Bulgarian team looked down on the Egyptian team from Africa and was extremely humiliating on the court, especially their No. 11 striker Bozinov, who was very dissatisfied with the rough defensive movements of the Egyptian defender when the ball was not smooth, and he spoke with the f-head greetings.
Although he escaped the referee's eye, "people are doing, and God is watching". Bulgaria, which lost all his character, still gave a penalty to his opponent at the end of the game, and the Egyptian team was lucky enough to score 3 points.
There is a temporary shed on the outside of the stadium, which is specially set up for the organizing committee to facilitate them to register relevant event information after the game. There is a monitor at the door, and the relevant situation of the invitational tournament is played scrolling inside.
