Chapter 149 The Yaqing Tournament starts
Lu Feng, who returned to the training ground, quickly adapted to the team. After all, the team's entire tactical center of gravity was built around him. As a forward, what he needed to do was to keep running, drive the ball and break through, and disrupt the opponent's defense line.
The most important thing is that after so long training in the Brazilian League, Lu Feng's ball players have made great progress.
When I was selected for the National Youth Team last time, everyone would feel that during normal training and competitions, the rhythm of Lu Feng and the team cannot be perfectly integrated. This time, I can't feel it at all.
Lu Feng took the initiative to slow down the pace. After integrating into the team, the entire team looked more like a whole. On the contrary, the other two new players who joined the main players were much worse than Lu Feng. Even though they trained for a few days more than Lu Feng.
"Sometimes, you have to sigh that the gap between genius and ordinary people is so big."
Yang Lu looked at the situation on the training ground, shook her head, and sighed at Zhang Zhengming beside her.
"Yes." Zhang Zhengming sighed leisurely. "This kid is really the best football genius we have seen in the past few decades. In the past, those so-called football geniuses always had one or another, so they were not completely kicked out in the end.
But in Lu Feng, there is no way to see those shortcomings. Super high ball quotient and adaptability, super strong learning ability, a big heart and a spirit of never giving up. If such a person cannot succeed, then I can't think of a reason why others can succeed."
"Maybe, we can witness the rise of a Chinese football superstar." Yang Lu's face showed expectations.
"Superstar? It's not that easy. Now it seems that everything is going well in Lu Feng." Zhang Zhengming's face looked inexplicable. "I just don't know if it will be smooth sailing in the future. After all, there are too many accidents on the football field."
"Yes." Yang Lu also sighed. "I hope the group of players in front of us can grow up as soon as possible. After investing in football for so many years, if we still cannot see the reward, our group of people will suffer."
Zhang Zhengming was silent. Yang Lu was talking about the status quo, but such a status quo cannot be changed by the level of the two of them.
"I hope that these children can bring us some surprises. I also hope that the above will be more patient and stop doing stupid things."
"Hope."
......
After more than a week of training, the National Youth Team flew to the Magic City, the venue of the Asian Youth Competition.
Because this Asian Youth Championship was held in our country, and the national youth team was strong and had many overseas players. Domestic media and fans generally had high hopes for this national youth team.
Some media even exaggeratedly proposed that in this Asian Youth Championship, the national youth team cannot reach the semi-finals, and even if they fail, the head coach will be dismissed.
And such publicity has actually attracted the consent of a large number of Chinese fans. I don’t know if everyone’s hearts have been suppressed for a long time, and they need to vent their venting position or the strength of this national youth team is so optimistic.
In response to this situation, the National Youth Team specially held a media conference, with the intention of promoting the strength of other countries and the strength of the teams is still strong and China may not win the championship. The media should not exaggerate the publicity too much, so as to prevent the players of the National Youth Team from being proud and complacent.
But privately, the coaching staff told the players that they should strive for the championship and not accept other results. As for what they said at the press conference, it was probably the smoke bombs put on other teams.
In a situation of much attention, this Asian Youth Championship is just starting.
There was nothing wrong with the Chinese team in the first day's game.
In the opening game, South Korea from Group A played a wonderful offensive game against Vietnam, scoring five goals, igniting the hot atmosphere of this Asian Youth Championship.
There are also several familiar faces in this Korean U19 team, all of whom are from Jeonbuk Hyundai Youth Team.
Facing the Vietnamese team, which is far inferior to its own strength, the South Korean team launched wave after wave of offensives towards the Vietnamese team's goal from the first minute of the game.
If Vietnam's goalkeeper hadn't performed well in the first ten minutes and made many wonderful saves, the South Korean team would have led 2-3 goals long ago.
Even though the Vietnamese goalkeeper performed bravely, Vietnam still conceded the ball in the 15th minute. A corner kick was taken in the frontcourt, and the Korean player rushed to the football before the Vietnamese defensive player, bounced on a Vietnamese defensive player and scored the goal.
Faced with such a goal, even the world's top goalkeeper is basically helpless. What's more, this is just an Asian Youth Games, and the goalkeeper is just an unknown young player in Vietnam.
After the goal, the South Korean team became more and more excited. In the next five minutes, they scored another goal. This goal was a complete gap in strength. South Korean striker Park Dae-chi had already passed three Vietnamese defensive players alone, and finally completed the shot and scored the goal.
Faced with two goals behind, the Vietnamese team had to push out the attack. To everyone's surprise, the Vietnamese team's attacking effect was quite good. Not only did it create several good scoring opportunities, but it also greatly delayed the South Korean team's offensive. The situation on the field stabilized for a while.
The first half entered injury stoppage time and the Vietnamese team won a frontcourt free kick.
After the free kick was taken, the Korean player actually made an own goal and cleared the ball into his own goal. The score instantly turned 2-1.
After the goal, the Vietnamese team seemed to have a lot of blood. In the last stage of the first half, they almost bombed the Korean team's goal, almost tied the score.
Fortunately, luck stood on the side of the Korean team. After a goal was scored with one shot and the goal was popped up, the first half of the game ended.
Many players of the National Youth Team who watched the first half of the game have doubts about the strength of this Korean U19. Facing an opponent with such a big difference in strength and being surrounded and played for so long, it doesn’t look like a favorite to win the championship at all.
But in the second half of the game, it was not unreasonable that the reason why the Korean team is regarded as the favorite to win the championship in this Asian Youth Championship is not unreasonable.
After trying out the offensive with South Korea in the second half of the first half, Vietnam was preparing to use the same tactics in the second half to equalize the score.
But in just 4 minutes of the second half, the Korean team changed the score to 3-1 through a beautiful team cooperation. During the entire cooperation process, the Korean team only had 7 passes.
With just 7 passes, the Vietnamese team's goal was penetrated, and the Vietnamese team's players were stunned.
There is no suspense in the next game. The Korean team completely takes the initiative on the entire field and controls the rhythm of the game.
In the 82nd minute, another game was won, and the score became 4-1.
But in fact, the five goals were scored by the Korean team.
Chapter completed!
