Chapter 110 Silent Battlefield
After a day of rest yesterday (13th), the knockout stage of this World Youth Championship has rekindled today;
The four exciting and hot finals will be staged today and tomorrow. Among them, the two first-half games that started today are quite interesting.
At 4 pm, the match between Argentina and China was played in Zaragoza. As the only team from Asia and Africa in the quarterfinals of this World Youth Championship, the Chinese team's promotion process was magical enough;
Through continuous efforts, this second-rate team from East Asia has become the team with the most outstanding dark horses in this competition;
Their unyielding fighting spirit has won the respect of the whole world. Chinese football has become a model of promotion on the spiritual level of FIFA;
When encountering the defending champion, people do not expect the Chinese team to perform in a shocking way, but just look forward to seeing the wonderful performance of this brave team again.
The host and Brazil game played in Madrid at 8 o'clock in the evening became a focus battle. The Bullfighters' elegant Latin style has always been intoxicating. This competition is also the host, and their performance has improved greatly;
Although this Brazilian team performed poorly, as the youth team inherited by the five-star Samba Spark, they successfully defeated their rival Argentina in the qualifiers. When they came to Spain as the champion of the South Youth Championship, the more difficult the situation they are, the more they can exert their strong strength;
The confrontation between the two Latin teams must be a passionate feast of artistic football and a final staged in advance. The media and fans' eager attention to this game can be imagined.
The sun was scorching in the afternoon, but this still could not stop the fans from paying attention. At 14:37, the La Roma Radar Stadium, where the first 1/4 finals were located, was crowded with crowds of attention, bustling and very lively.
The Radar Stadium of La Roma is the home court of the La Liga team Zaragoza, which can accommodate 26,500 people. The lower-middle capacity has witnessed the glory of Zaragoza in the past season. With their outstanding home results, they finally ranked sixth in the league and qualified for the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season, which was amazing.
Although Zaragoza is nicknamed "lift" because it often hovers in the A and B leagues, this team, founded in 1932, may also have grown into a veteran powerhouse, and the "Royal" in its name reveals a sense of pride and confidence;
The Radar Stadium of La Roma has witnessed the history of the rise and fall of the club, especially its highlight performance since the 21st century, which has won it the reputation of "the devil's home court";
Especially in the past season, it was difficult for the wealthy families such as Barcelona and Real Madrid to escape when they visited this place. The realistic version of David vs. Goliath was staged every game. While La Roma Radar became a powerful team, it also became an inspirational blessing for small people to fight.
Because of similar experiences of struggle, the Chinese team that came to Zaragoza with the spirit of tenacious struggle was very popular among local fans;
In their opinion, the performance of the Chinese team in the World Youth Championship allowed them to see the shadow of Zaragoza's competition in La Liga. A considerable number of Zaragoza citizens formed a considerable fan policy with the huge Chinese and overseas Chinese teams coming from all over Spain;
Due to the Argentine factors in the club, local fans have a strong liking for the strong defending champion;
With the active Argentine players in Spanish leagues at all levels, Espanyol has a sense of closeness to Argentina in its bones. It forms a huge lineup with Argentine fans who come to cheer for it. The Argentine team has a sense of superiority in home games;
In addition to these two clearly focused groups, there are other neutral fans, including Europeans and other continents.
The three streams of people gradually gathered in the small square near La Roma radar, gathering more and more. The lively appearance was quite similar to the general market in China. The charm of the World Youth Championship was also highlighted with the advancement of the knockout round, and the attention was no less than that of the adult national team competition. The "Youth World Cup" was indeed extraordinary.
At 15 o'clock, the Chinese team's red bus appeared on the stadium, and a burst of shouts broke out in the crowd, and the Chinese fans from the red and white policy had the highest decibels;
At 15:10, the Argentine team's blue and white bus arrived, and even louder cheers burst out from the crowd. Compared to the Chinese players who rushed to the locker room, the Argentine players waved to the crowd gracefully, and even Argentine players stopped briefly to sign autographs for excited fans, which was quite like a star team.
15:30, after the half-hour warm-up, both sides entered the lounge again for the final mobilization and deployment. All the relevant links of the competition were running in full swing within the last half hour, and everything was in a good state, waiting for the start of the competition.
15:45, players from both sides lined up in the entrance channel, waiting for entry. Since the referee team leading the entrance has not yet taken place, the players were chatting quietly to relieve the pressure of waiting before the game.
Argentina wore a dark blue away jersey today, while their opponent Chinese team wore a white home jersey. The two sides first fought against the colors of the jerseys with distinct shades to fully warm up today's game.
Speaking of the jersey choices between the two sides of the game, there was actually an episode before the game:
The Argentine team, who drew the "visiting team", had negotiated with the Chinese side, hoping to make them wear blue and white home jerseys, but because the "home team" China team insisted on wearing white home uniforms, according to regulations, the Argentine team could only wear dark jerseys that were relatively dark;
It is worth mentioning that all the four World Youth Championships played by the Chinese team were wearing white jerseys. Except for the first game, they were unbeaten in the other three games, including the reversal of the Czech Republic in the last round of the group stage and the 1/8 finals swept Japan;
Going further, the match between Iran and South Korea was eliminated during the Asian Youth Championship. At that time, the Chinese team suffered from "white-clothed crazy disease".
Teams and players always have many personal preferences and habits. Some paranoid habits have even reached the point of serious superstition, but in fact they are more of a psychological suggestive effect;
Now, when choosing jerseys before the game, the Chinese team won the first goal, which has formed a certain psychological sense of superiority, which will help them reduce the fear brought by their opponents' strong strength.
Aguero was the captain of Argentina's game, so he wore the captain's armband on his left arm and the triangle flag in his hand. He stood at the head of the team's lineup, with bright eyes looking forward, completely unaffected by the shouts coming from the court.
He understands what this game means to him, and his opponent is not China, but Messi;
Although it is unconvincing to surpass Messi by the result of a massacre, the killer factor in the blood made him very murderous. The massacre of the weak Chinese team is just a prelude. The host Spain, who is very likely to encounter in the semi-finals, is the time when he truly proves himself;
This magical land that cultivates Messi and the World Youth Championship, the Avenue of Stars that made Messi popular, are so wonderful;
Then win the crown with a greater advantage, put your name Sergio Aguero on Lionel Messi, accompanied by a bigger and more dazzling light!
This was Aguero's most firm idea before this game. For others, such advanced confidence will often appear quite arrogant, but for Aguero's inherent killer temperament, his confidence seems domineering and natural without any artificiality;
He became famous at a young age and was outstanding in strength. The idol character Dakawa Yi has laid a good foundation for him. He played football to become the center of the world;
In this world, he is the most special person who stops him from chasing his dreams. He is as powerful as an opponent in Dongbang Academy. He has to step on his feet. In front of him, Messi is the "Songren" in his eyes.
Still imagining, someone behind him pulled him. Aguero looked back and found that it was Morales, who was ranked third in the queue: "Wow, kun, you have so many fans! You must have come from Madrid, for you, you have to cheer up, haha!"
Aguero looked in the direction of his finger and saw more than a dozen Atletico's red and white striped shirts with his name printed on it;
As soon as the fans found Aguero looking at them, they excitedly pulled the jersey on their chest and shouted loudly, repeating his name constantly. Aguero looked at the audience in the distance with expressionless face. This cool expression made fans even more crazy.
Maxi Morales, although he is only 1.6 meters tall, has the nickname of "Little Giant". He currently plays in the domestic Argentine Athletic Club;
His personal characteristics are his good explosive power and skillful skills. As the core of the team's frontcourt, he has a good relationship with the team's main striker in the team. He is full of envy of Aguero entering the five major European leagues early.
Romero stood behind Aguero, and saw him playing cool again. Thinking of the scene when he was unhappy in training that day, he turned around and looked at Morales with a look of longing and said, "Maxi, what are you envious? Tell you that after playing in the World Youth Championship, you will also come to Europe. Then you will have no fewer fans. What are you envious of?"
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Aguero's back.
"I know! I think it feels much more enjoyable to be able to play football in Europe than in China, haha!" A brief pause, "Hehe, Sergio, I heard that the Netherlands is beautiful!"
When Romero saw his expression similar to a silly girl, he joked: "Hehe, Maxi, why don't you go to the Netherlands with me!"
"Tsk, don't want it. I'm going to Spain!" Aguero's vanguard role has left an important influence in his heart, Morales said with great firmness.
It was the bird man again, Romero said disdainfully: "I'm embarrassed, there's no new at all. I really think La Liga is so easy to mess with!"
Morales made up his jersey and looked at No. 17 on his chest, and was very confident: "I believe that the most suitable one is waiting for me there!"
Long Tian lowered his head and pulled the jersey. His palm touched the sweatshirt inside. He remembered Shuangyu, and his sweet smile floated up. His right finger couldn't help but touch the hand-embroidered icon on his left chest.
In the past two days, all the meanings of these rows of letters have been firmly imprinted in his mind. As soon as he thinks of her small hands and affectionate and gentle eyes, he feels full of strength;
At this moment, the powerful opponent seemed to have become very small and could not stop his desire to score.
Gan Ren, who was in front, turned around and found Long Tian's behavior of playing the national anthem in advance. He smiled and said, "Long Tian, don't be so nervous, start practicing singing the national anthem in advance now, haha."
Long Tian smiled embarrassedly, put down his palm, and gradually returned to his calm expression.
Gan Ren didn't hold his tail too much. After laughing, he turned to look at the Argentine players of different heights and said lightly: "Argentine players are very average in height. How many are they not as tall as you, haha."
Long Tian curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "They are not their style. Wu Dalang can also play with his opponents, so don't underestimate them."
Gan Ren smiled and said, "Just, our Dragon Guard is average in height, but we must not underestimate it, haha. Of course I know they are very strong, just a joke, so I won't be too nervous when the game is played later."
Long Tian smiled and pushed his back: "Okay, okay, I'm ready to go on stage, stop talking nonsense."
After the joke, Gan Ren asked seriously: "Longtian, are you really not afraid?"
Long Tian blinked and said calmly: "It's 90 minutes, but it's 90 minutes if you're not afraid. Play well. No matter who your opponent is, it's more important than random thoughts."
"Well, let's work together!"
Seeing him turn his head, Long Tian put his right palm on his left chest again and pressed it on the icon: "Yes, I'm not afraid of them, because I have you in my heart, I want to give you a gift in front of people all over the world. Happy birthday, my baby, Double Rain!"
