At first, Lu Juren had contacted European scouts with great emotion. Then, under Wang Peng's persuasion, he realized that this deliberate escape was not the solution to the problem;

If players can go abroad to receive higher level of training, it will be of great benefit to improving the overall level of this team in a short period of time. The direct benefit will be the Chinese national Olympic team that will compete in the local Olympic Games next year;

After understanding this, Lu Juren began to actively cooperate, and the preliminary work of the negotiations was progressing very quickly, especially after China eliminated Japan and entered the quarterfinals, the negotiations of some players even entered a substantive stage.

Although the coaching team of the China Youth Team, led by Lu Juren, cannot finally decide the whereabouts of the players, as the head coach, he has the greatest voice. After the urgent Chinese Football Association grants the coaching team preliminary negotiation power, the coaches' words are very important;

After a club has an intention to buy, the coaching staff will first consider a series of specific details such as the position of the opponent's club, its league competitiveness, the characteristics of the intended players, and the matching of the opponent's technical and tactical playing style;

Only when the opponent's club can indeed provide the player with a certain development space, the coaching team will give the opponent's club a clear reply and provide detailed opinions and suggestions to the Football Association, and the Football Association will then discuss with the player's parent team to finally determine the chance of transfer.

Of course, the player himself is the most important part in the transfer process.

In the transfer of major European clubs, the intended club will first contact the players and propose their own contract conditions. Only when the player themselves recognizes the intended club, the intended club will have the confidence to mediate with the player's club;

But under the influence of China's special national conditions, the transfer of these young men seems mysterious and unique, and many negotiations are quietly carried out without the players knowing it.

The main purpose of acting secretly is to not affect the players' game status. If they are allowed to negotiate with the opponent's clubs at will like European players during the competition, the inexperienced Chinese players will inevitably be distracted, and the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced;

The reason for this operation is that this is just a youth team. The players are generally around 20 years old. They have just stood out from the parent team echelon and participated in the first team for only one or two seasons. In terms of mentality, they are still full of gratitude to the parent team. The boys have a strong ability to accept, and extremely picky phenomena are rare. Under the persuasion of the parent team, it is not difficult to sign a contract successfully;

Of course, it is not that the coaching staff has already arranged the players' transfers. Considering the self-esteem of young players, the coaches, the Football Association and the club will inform foreign clubs as soon as possible after all the game tasks are over. If the players' wishes go against the established transfer intentions, the club will conduct persuasion work with both soft and hard work to promote the final outcome of the transfer.

This move is somewhat feudal as a feudal parent, but in the view of the Chinese Football Association, this is entirely due to responsibility for the Chinese football career. As elders and leaders, they choose the most suitable path for the younger generation. This is natural and understandable.

After making this decision, the senior executives of the Football Association seemed to have unprecedented confidence and a righteous national hero. This time they did not receive a penny, but were 100% from public intentions.

After handling the talks with the agent, Lu Juren looked at the time and saw that at 15:18, the match between Argentina and Australia had already begun, so he quickly turned on the TV.

At the coaching staff's briefing after the game, everyone unanimously reached a consensus that it was reasonable for the strong defending champion to win, but collectively misjudged the opponents in the 1/8 finals to wake them up;

Therefore, after eliminating Japan, Wang Peng didn't bother to return to his residence to have a meal, but took a domestic Spanish flight to the competition site between Argentina and Australia, recording every key point of his opponent at close range, while the other coaches observed his opponent through TV broadcasts.

As soon as the screen was opened, the score was 1:0, Argentina led, and the goal scorer was Sarat;

From the scene, the clumsy Kangaroo Legion is difficult to compete with the small and flexible Pampas Eagles. The smooth pass and tacit running position, coupled with the super personal ability of the small Argentine player, the title of Oceania champion is more like a joke.

Before the end of the first half, Argentina expanded the score again, with the goal scorer Di Maria.

During the break, Lu Juren got up and poured a glass of water. The first half of the game made him feel dry and even a little nervous.

Judging from the game, the coaching team's estimates before the game are not wrong. Argentina's strength is very strong and is far from as easy as they imagined. Even a strong Australian champion cannot resist for a moment. For the Chinese team, this is a real battle of death;

The strength of the "Five-Star Angel" Argentina cannot be questioned. What made Lu Juren nervous was not this objective fact, but the huge gap between his inner thoughts and reality.

As early as the Football Association briefing after the end of the Asian Youth Championship, the General Administration had clearly determined the task of the National Youth Team to compete for this World Youth Championship, which is to be on par with the last 16th World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. All the work of the coaching team clearly pointed to this goal;

After the handling of the fight and the accidental injury between Ma and Zhang, the Football Association deliberately ignored the existence of the team. The coaching staff felt heartbroken, the players' confidence was not high, and the spirit of the entire team continued to be sluggish;

After defeating the Czech Republic incredibly, the "highest program" that the team once worked tirelessly for became a reality overnight. The Football Association praised it and the General Administration also expressed satisfaction;

Coupled with the improved personnel situation of the team and the heroic spirit of qualifying in the group, the coaching staff lost confidence has returned, and the players' fighting spirit has become high;

Under the positive effects of both inside and outside, the opponent faced by the Japanese is the Japanese. The Chinese team, who did their homework, brought their strengths to the extreme. It was surprising enough to defeat Japan, but it was reasonable;

After eliminating Japan, the Chinese team came to the place where the seniors fell, and they had already touched the pulse of history.

22 years ago, it was Zhang Zhicheng's Chinese Youth Team who led the leadership of the coach Zhang Zhicheng to enter the quarterfinals of the Soviet World Youth Championship and finally achieved a good result of 7th;

This has become an unattainable peak. Generations of Chinese footballers have been trying to surpass them. They have been infinitely close, but in the end they still fall on the road to breaking records;

And this time, they have arrived at the threshold. As long as they take that step bravely, the legend 22 years ago will pass, and a new chapter of Chinese football will be opened.

What I fear most about things I am not sure about is too much expectation. Lu Juren, who is already comparable to history, cannot have no expectations. As a Chinese coach who takes creating history as his mission, Lu Juren hopes to forge his team as a milestone in the growth of Chinese football;

It is a high-risk thing to have expectations for Chinese football. He has never been nervous when facing Iran and South Korea, and he has not been nervous when facing the Czech Republic. Even when looking at the fierce Japanese, he is not nervous even;

But this time, Lu Juren became nervous, it was real nervous, not because of a strong opponent, but because of his deep thoughts;

Along the way, he became more and more convinced that his group of young men had the ability to create history. However, can the devastated Chinese football once again bear the expectations of everyone?

Lu Juren was a little at a loss, and the unknown ending made him nervous.

There was still no suspense in the second half. Argentina firmly controlled the rhythm on the court, Australia shrank its defense line, and used the tactical power of the human wall to prevent its opponent from expanding the score;

Facing the tall guys who were crowded in front of the opponent's goal, the South American's penetration style was restrained, and the scenes of the Argentine infiltrating from the middle were reduced;

But the Australians are glad that the defense didn't last long, and the defending champion quickly used his skillful ball control and pulling as he pleased to mobilize his opponents to form a tight defense line. The scene of Argentina playing with 26 feet in the World Cup last year appeared again;

The Australian, exhausted and surrendered quickly. Morales scored a goal outside the penalty area and caused the Australian goalkeeper to lose his hand. Sarat, who had a keen sense of smell, followed up and scored a supplementary shot, 3:0, and the victory of the defending champion was unbreakable.

Argentina, which led the score, relaxed, and the fun nature of the Pampas boy emerged. In addition, his teammates were willing to help Aguero, the current top scorer in the tournament, increase the number of goals, and the Argentina's aggressiveness in offense decreased. Australia, which had recovered, further tightened its defense line and took advantage of a corner kick to head the ball and scored a goal that regained its face.

After conceding the ball, Argentine coach Tocari was out of anger and immediately adjusted the lineup on the court, replaced Aguero, who was in poor form, and clearly instructed to attack with all his strength;

After relaxing, Argentina could no longer find its previous intensive goals, and the game time had been exhausted, and the score of 3:1 remained until the end of the game. Argentina successfully advanced to the next round and further on the road to defending the title.

After the final whistle rang, Aguero did not celebrate with his teammates, but walked into the corridor alone. The screen flashed past his lonely figure. Lu Juren blinked, thinking.

After dinner, the Chinese team organized all members to watch the third 1/8 finals between Spain and Nigeria.

In terms of performance, the two countries are both a traditional strong team in the U21 field, and in terms of national teams, the confrontation between Sini is easily reminded of the classic reversal battle nine years ago.

At the 1998 World Cup in France, Nigeria eliminated the proud Espanyol with a score of 3:2 and missed the quarterfinals. This is also a page that Spanish football cannot bear to recall during the pain period;

To this day, Spanish fans still cannot forget this game. From the details of the venue setting, audience emotional performance and TV broadcasts, the strong revenge in the deepest part of the Spanish.

Africans really want to repeat that scene. Even after the host scored two goals in a row, they still had fantasies in their hearts, and what they could do nine years ago could do now;

It’s just a pity that today is different from the past. The Iberian young lions who grew up with national hatred and family hatred are sharp-tongued. They face these tender African eagles without any mercy and are torn apart in pieces. The past grievances were mixed with revenge and swallowed to the depths of their stomachs and melted.

The score of the whole game was 2:0. Although there were not many goals, the embarrassing Africans had no power to fight back, especially Fabregas scored a free kick and Mata's goal from the right side of the goal. The two perfectly copied the goals of Jero and Raul that year, and the entire Bernabeu stadium was cheering!
Chapter completed!
