After the game, all procedures were implemented, and the personnel gradually dispersed, leaving only members of the Chinese team on the field.

The associate coach took the players to jog around the sidelines and then had some relaxation practices. This fierce game has exhausted their physical reserves and was extremely tired. Although there is no match task, the normal work still needs to be completed.

This team formed for the invitational tournament also completed their mission today. The results of the quarterfinals are already extraordinary for this team from a country that has not yet been shortlisted for the World Cup.

Although they were defeated, they were still honored. They were worthy of the cultivation of the country. They showed the style of a new generation of Chinese teenagers to the world on the court and were able to leave this land with their heads held high.

Some of these 23 people have entered the professional echelon through the efforts of the Qihang Cup last year, but most of the players are still a junior high school student. After returning to China, they will soon be involved in the new semester's academic performance again.

No matter what kind of life path you take, this competition experience is destined to have an important influence in their hearts.

This impact will continue until they become adults. Regardless of whether they can embark on the real professional football path in the future, as long as they can continue their dreams on the court, this experience will be an incredible wealth that will benefit them for life.

Zhao Dayu wrapped his hands in front of his chest. He looked at the setting sun in the distance, reflecting on the surface of the Sava River. The boat was leisurely moving on the water, and the deepest feeling was also filled with emotion.

In a blink of an eye, they have been in this small southern European country for about half a month.

Every day I am busy with competitions, and the pressure is very high, but my life is very fulfilling. In a blink of an eye, the last day comes.

In his opinion, the various scenes of traveling around on the first day of the arrival were clearly imprinted in his mind, as if they had just arrived yesterday.

But I didn't expect that in this day that seemed to have "never happened", they had played 5 games, and their 2 wins and 3 losses, and their 11 goals and 8 goals were not bad.

For them, being able to achieve this result with a month of training is already an extraordinary performance.

As a youth training coach, Zhao Dayu certainly understands how big the gap is at home and abroad. He takes all the efforts of the players in his heart. He can perfectly hand over this quarter-finals report card, which is worthy of his superiors' earnest instructions.

After the game, he did not comment on the team's shortcomings as severely as before. He just kept praising the players' performance, and there were a lot of words of thanks in his words.

Some players are still quite dissatisfied. In fact, even if the team does a better job, it is not impossible to win this game.

In fact, their hearts were still full of anxiety and guilt for not performing as much as they should and failed the coach's painstaking efforts.

Listening to the head coach's sincere praise, they gradually felt a lot of relief, and felt warm deep in their hearts and mood improved a lot.

After completing a complete set of relaxation and stretching exercises, Zhao Dayu, who came back to his senses from his meditation, clapped hard and summoned everyone.

He said calmly: "The invitational tournament will not end until the 11th, so our return date is the morning of the 12th. We have worked hard during this period, and we just took advantage of the remaining four days to take a good rest and adjust."

"I will never force you to train these days, you are free. But, you can't be too casual. This is abroad. If you want to go out for a walk, you must come in groups and report to our coach. We will arrange it in a unified manner. You will definitely not be allowed to act privately!"

"Also, don't think these four days are just eating and drinking. There are still four games to play. I hope you can watch these games seriously, observe and study hard, and see how the young foreign players play football. Don't think about dealing with the matter. I can assign homework after watching."

After talking about these arrangements, Zhao Dayu, who was moved, couldn't help but express his gratitude: "Finally, I still want to thank everyone on behalf of the coaching staff. Without your active cooperation, our team would not be able to achieve this result."

"Although we were unable to reach the final quarter-finals, as I just said, the quarter-finals are very valuable. Look at it, except us, which other teams in the quarter-finals are there?"

"All of them are football powerhouses that often excel in major competitions. Even South Korea and Japan, which are better than us, cannot be shortlisted in the quarterfinals, but China has successfully done it. What reason do you think is there to deny this result?"

"You are definitely the strongest players among the students of your age in China, and they all have good strength. I sincerely wish you can embark on the path of professional football in the future, become a real football player, join the national team, stand on the highest World Cup stage, and add luster to our China."

"You can enter the top eight on the land of Europe today, and when you grow up, you can also enter the top eight on the world stage. I am optimistic about your players, and you are also considered disciples I have trained. You must give me a face to your master in the future!"

When Zhao Dayu talked about the emotions, his eyes were also moist, and these words were also from his heart.

The first time I saw this usually very strict Guangdong man so sensational, the players couldn't fully understand his complex and sincere feelings, but they were also moved by his sincerity, and everyone applauded excitedly.

In the match held on another field across the river, the results of the match were decided later than this battle of KZ.

Argentina, who eliminated Mexico with a penalty kick in the 1/8 final, failed to continue the magic in this game against England.

The two sides exchanged blank sheets in the 90-minute game, and there was no change after the dull overtime game, so they could only enter the penalty kick decisive stage.

The first four rounds of penalty were made, and both shots were made;

In the last round of penalty, England's Rooney made a meritorious service with a heavy gun, and they also threw the pressure on the opponent with all five free throws;

Argentina ultimately failed to withstand the pressure and was disappointed, so he had to accept the fate of being eliminated.

Due to territorial disputes, in the world football, the battle between Britain and Arabia is always full of topics and highlights;

Whether it is the "Hand of God" in the Maradona era or the grievances and grievances at the World Cup two years ago, both sides dislike each other.

In this amateur game, both sides did not stop. The game scene was extremely hot. The referee took out 7 yellow cards and 2 red cards inadvertently, setting an invitational record.

Finally, in this focus battle, the old England laughed to the end.

The 2000 Zagreb International Student Football Invitational Championship decided the final four teams: Germany, England, Brazil, and Croatia.

At first glance, it looks like the semi-final four of the European Cup four years ago, at least perfectly replicating the confrontation between the old enemies of Ying and Germany;

The later the invitational tournament, the more it feels more unstoppable.
