Time flies, and there is no words all night, and the highly anticipated final day has finally arrived.

Both final teams are making careful preparations at their own pace, and the 8th champion in the history of the World Youth Championship will be released this afternoon.

The last champion has to be traced back to Spain in 1999. It took another eight years in a flash, and everyone can witness the birth of the new king;

This makes everyone a witness of history. In the first decade of the new century, the number one suspense of the World Youth Championship was revealed earlier than the World Cup.

Is it a glorious ending to Europe or a new era in Asia? July 22, 2007 is destined to be a day worth remembering;

Looking back after several years, I will feel more special about all the details that are about to happen.

At 4:30 pm, the final venue of the Bernabeu began to pour into the stadium, and the number of people was estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000.

Although it is not as lively as before, it is still quite popular. The biggest suspense of this World Youth Championship still attracted everyone to come like a crucian carp crossing the river. The charm of the finals is always unstoppable.

Two old men appeared in the south stands in the stadium, both of whom were dressed in casual sports outfits and strong and sturdy bodies. It was vaguely obvious that the industry they were engaged in should be related to sports.

From the appearance, one has thin hair, mixed with black and white;

The other one is full of gray hair, with a large exposed Mediterranean hairstyle in the middle.

In terms of age, the two of them were about in their fifties. In China, old men of this age should appear in the park to walk their birds or sweat on the gate court.

However, as fans who continued to pour into this area recognized the two, and after saying hello intimately, and those who asked them to sign, it was generally not easy to guess the identities of these two people.

A fat man in his forties came from Italy. After signing the two old men, he happily started chatting with them.

"Hey, Francisco, what are you busy with now? I think that guy Zamparini is really ignorant. Palermo is very good at leading you!" The fat man should be very concerned about his national league and is quite familiar with Palermo's season trend.

Francisco's full name is Francisco Guidolin. Since transferring from Ligue 1 Monaco last season (0506), Palermo Club has finally stabilized at the sixth position in the league after experiencing a high and low state this season (0607);

Guidolin, known as "Little Zhuge", also retained the team's European qualification with his solid coaching skills.

Since returning to Serie A in 2004, Palermo has performed increasingly outstandingly. His highest performance is to contribute to the national team, including Grosso, Zaccardo, and Barzali, and four international players, eventually helping the team win the Hercules Cup last year, and the "great left-back" Grosso became famous in one game.

Entering this season, Palermo once ranked second in the league, and it stopped the surge until the 13th round of the 1:2 loss to Inter Milan;

In the League Cup, he also entered the group stage through the qualifying round. For a moment, this Eagle from Sicily became a terrifying new team in China.

But the young Eagles did not withstand the test of high cold and ended up in the League Cup group stage. The final ranking of the league was also frozen in 6th place, barely qualified for the League Cup qualifier next season.

Logically speaking, the team's decline in performance has little to do with Guidolin, who is good at tuning young people. Zhuge, who successfully activates the team's potential, should have made more contributions than demerits. Without his efforts for a season, the team would probably not be able to even maintain their qualifications in the European Cup.

However, in the intense professional football world, performance is the only criterion for measuring a coach's success;

Although Palermo's ranking this season is two more places ahead of last season, he was still out of the League Cup group stage because he lost the Champions League qualification, which is far less vigorous than reaching the 1/8 final last season;

The boss Zanparini also completely lost his patience and did not provide Guidolin with a new contract after the end of the season. Lao Zan's ruthlessness also became an important reason for everyone to sympathize with Xiao Zhuge.

"Archid, thank you for your concern. I'm living a good life now. I've been busy for a season, and now I can finally live a little life with a free Yun Yehe, which is also good." Guidolin responded kindly to the fans' concern.

Archid nodded and said, "That's right, have a good rest and be fully charged, and the next stop will be more exciting."

Thinking of the reports I have read, I asked, "I heard that Parma wants to invite you over, is that true?"

Before Guidolin answered, Archid turned excitedly and asked the old baden-like man beside him: "Claudio, I think it's more appropriate to ask you this question."

Claudio took over Parma, the second-last in February this year. After less than half a season of hard work, he finally brought the Cows to 12th position and successfully stayed in Serie A.

Claudio, who turned the tide, once again proved that his golden sign of "Tubing Man" was not a fictional reputation. He also won the favor of Juventus, who had just returned from Serie B. His contract with Parma expired in June and became the coach of the Serie A promotion next season (0708).

His full name is Claudio Ranieri. Ranieri, born in 51, became famous very early. He debuted in Rome in the early 1970s and was a standard steel defender;

After taking up the coaching position in the late 1980s, with his steady Italian coaching style and his rich experience in major European mainstream leagues such as Italy, Spain, England, France, Ranieri grew into the best of the older generation of Italian coaches. His fame is far above Guidolin, who is four years younger than him.

Ranieri smiled and refused, "I really don't understand this. After all, I haven't stayed in Parma since this month. You have to ask me about the specific situation."

Archid knew that it was useless to ask. These professional coaches couldn't ask those unannounced news;

As he talked to Ranieri, his focus soon changed: "Hey, Claudio, then you are here, probably to inspect the new players. Rossi is your favorite player in Parma this season. Will he bring him to Juventus? However, I heard that Huang Qian of La Liga is playing very well with him! Or, would you consider the very popular No. 2 Flying Guard of the Chinese team?"

Thinking of the national youth team, there were many Juventus youth training young players, I asked and answered, "Oh, it's a no-one, Joe Wenco of the 'Three Masters of Juventus', Marchisio, Decerli, and Lanzafame, these are all produced by Juventus. You must be more concerned about these little guys!"

This fat man must be a chatterbox. His way of talking to himself also made the two old coaches amuse him. Welcoming this pistachio before the fierce final starts is also a good way to adjust.

After seeing off the fan, the two continued to communicate.

Guidolin asked about the question raised by the fat man: "This guy has summarized it quite well. Your focus on this trip should be those four Juventus young players."

Ranieri smiled faintly, nodded first and then shook his head and said, "It's right, not right."

"Apart from inspecting the Juventus young player, can you really find some other treasures as he said? Especially that Chinese!" Guidolin asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with this? The youth arena is full of uncensored jade. If the texture is really good, it's okay to pick one or two. Besides, Italy is not like England. The head coach has no actual say in selling people. We should not worry about eating carrots and let's relax in this game." Ranieri teased freely.

Guidolin nodded and agreed. His old friend was right, and he didn't expect any other answers.

Ranieri thought of what the fat man said again and asked, "Will you go to Parma?"

"I'm talking about me, you're not like a bird, you're worried! There's nothing to do with the eight characters, why do you talk about it?" Guidolin has been a little annoyed about this rumor recently. When Archid mentioned it, he was a little unhappy. Now Ranieri is here to mention it again, and the feeling of dissatisfaction is beyond words.

Ranieri was so smart. He knew what was going on when he heard his tone. He quickly changed the topic: "What do you think of this game?"

"I think it's the 55th. There are opportunities on both sides. The Italian team finally played a little bit, but the Chinese team is not bad. Don't forget that they won them in May this year." Without discussing where they go, Guidolin finally returned to his normal interest in talking.

"How can the Chinese give faces this? I don't think so. After the main players of the national youth team have arrived, the team has become increasingly integrated and formed, and their strength has returned to normal levels. I am optimistic that they will win this game 2:1 and help our country get rid of the World Youth Championship. " Ranieri still looked up to his own team.

"I also prefer the national youth team to win the championship, but I think the championship will not be decided so easily. I should play overtime or even penalty kicks. The Chinese team in front of me has eliminated Argentina and Spain in succession, so I cannot be underestimated." Guidolin blinked and calmly expressed his true thoughts in his heart.

"I'm listening to your tone. The Chinese flying dragon that is very popular at the moment should be your target." Ranieri continued to talk along with his topic.

"Yes, I think that No. 2 is pretty good, it's very fast, it's a sharp knife on the sidelines." Guidolin did not hide his appreciation for Long Tian.

"Francisco, we have been eating this bowl of rice for almost twenty years. You won't be rushing this muddy water like the media, right? This guy is fast, but he doesn't have a brain and his basic skills are not good. He is much worse than Martins trained by Inter Milan. At least that Nigerian boy has the ability to score. And this Chinese is useless except for speed. The risk is too great, so be careful."

Ranieri has been in the world for decades and has seen countless people. He believes that Long Tian’s popularity is too inexplicable. Such a serious player with a serious degree of knowledge has extremely limited room for improvement, and he is not optimistic about it.

Guidolin replied without comment: "You are right, but I think there is a characteristic in him that attracts me, reminding me of the two Brazilians, Kafu and Carlos. Speed ​​and physical fitness are the best gifts God has given to this Chinese. I believe that after reasonable training, he will make greater progress."

Thinking of this old friend's hobby of cultivating little demons, Ranieri didn't want to directly turn to him, and he didn't agree with it deep down;

But some words can only be broken in your stomach. Time is the most fair referee, which will eventually prove that his wishful thinking is ridiculous. At this time, I would rather choose to shut up.

There was a sound of restlessness in the audience, which was a signal that players from both sides began to line up to enter the court and the game was about to begin;
Chapter completed!
