The Green Superstar

Chapter 27: The dragon wakes up!

The Chinese national team won three games in the World Junior Championships and advanced to the top 16 is not enough to cause earth-shattering effects on the domestic media. In addition, in the past two years, the image of Chinese football has fallen to the bottom. Tired and far away.

However, the players of the national junior team received calls from their families one after another. After Xihan asked warmly, they continued to praise and encourage them.

Tang Hong's days are very peaceful, as if no one cares about it.

He hasn't had a normal conversation with his father for a long time, and his mother may only get upset when she learns that the junior team has been promoted, but will not be happy. She probably hopes that Tang Hong will be out early, and she will be depressed and give up. football.

After the end of the group stage is the knockout, and all the top 16 are born.

In fact, only eight teams went home.

Netherlands, South Korea, Jamaica, Rwanda, Canada, New Zealand, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire.

Only one of the four Asian teams went to South Korea, and the Asian teams' performance in this year's World Junior Championships has already been considered qualified.

There is no continent evasion principle in the round of 16 draw, but the Chinese national team really does not want to run into Japan from Asia or Australia, a member of the AFC.

Not afraid, just wanting to play against teams from other continents, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.

FIFA gave the Chinese team a draw to Uruguay.

Since the Chinese team is the first place in the group to advance, it is not necessary to move the nest and wait for Uruguay to come from other cities. This can be seen as the advantage of the group leader.

Uruguay is one of the teams that performed well in this competition. In the group stage, they were assigned to the same group with England, Canada, and Rwanda. The first two games were successfully won, and they scored 4 goals and blocked their opponents. After being promoted early, they were in the group. The last game of the match was lost to England in the same group, which allowed England to get the top spot in the group, and they advanced to the second place.

Van der Hill studied the performance of Uruguay in three group games, and then asked the Chinese team to be more active in the game in the game before the game to run defenses, and at the same time do not have the slightest drag in the offense.

Not to mention how much help the Chinese team can be. Van der Hill’s professionalism has always awed others in awe.

It was cloudy on the day of the game, and there were no obvious dark clouds in the sky, but it seemed that a small-scale rain could be ushered at any time. With gusts of wind, this weather made the players refreshed and very suitable. game.

In the group stage, the opponents that the Chinese team encounters have a physical advantage over them, but they are not necessarily passive in this regard when facing Uruguay.

But Uruguay also has an advantage over the Chinese team as a whole, but not in strength and height, but in speed and dexterity.

Brazil and Argentina are the traditional powerhouses in South America. If we count further, Uruguay will definitely be close behind!

Now the Uruguay national team is also called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Cavani, Suarez, Diego Forlan on the front, Pereira, Perez, Gonzalez, Gargano in the midfield, Caceres, Godin, Luga on the back Connaught and other famous players, they regretted the load in the World Cup in South Africa last year, but lost to Germany, and finally got a good result in fourth place.

Uruguay's current U17 echelon's overall style continues the characteristics of South American football, but in terms of individual player performance, there is no outstanding talent.

However, there are still some players who have performed well and have attracted attention.

Uruguay's entire defense line from the midfielder to the defender to the goalkeeper is considered to be a group of players with great potential, and the two forwards also played impressively in the first two games of the group stage.

It is not realistic to only expect a group of players within an age group to become stars, especially in the awkward echelon of U17.

The U17 echelon limits the lower age limit of players. After all, the gap between 15-year-old and 17-year-old players is too obvious in physical confrontation. In the U21 World Youth Championship, it is more likely to give birth to a group of stars. Once Argentina, Brazil, Italy , Portugal and other teams have performed well in the World Youth Championship and a considerable number of stars were born in the team that year!

Because in the U21 echelon, 18-year-old players can play the main force as long as they have the strength, and the echelon can use a wider range of players.

Players like the U17 echelon, even if they have performed well now and are considered to have great potential, they are likely to be lost in three to five years, and even bid farewell to football!

It is rare for this age group to be able to shine in a big competition and eventually become a star smoothly.

There are many future stars that will not necessarily appear in the World Junior Championships. After all, not every star has a similar period of explosive growth, and not every echelon that stars played for when they were young has the opportunity to compete in the World Junior Championships, like the talents most. Only four national teams in Europe are eligible, but at least five or six countries will have talented players in the U17 age group.

At an age group where this gap has not been completely cleared, Tang Hong and the others will not pretend to be inferior to their opponents who are worse than their opponents. Everyone spends the same amount of time in football. With this level of awareness, it is unclear whether other players will have a lot of associations against Uruguay and become timid.

Entering the field with their heads held high, the Chinese and Uruguay teams carried out a pre-match ceremony on the court.

There are more spectators in the stands. Perhaps it is the knockout round that makes the game really interesting. After all, someone will go home after the game. The cruelty is well known.

"The World Championship has come to the knockout stage. The 8 games of the 1/8 finals will be played in two days. In the two knockout games that ended an hour ago, Brazil and Japan have already advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Championship. Brazil 2: The 0 overtake of Ecuador was expected, and the Japanese team's 6:0 massacre of the Czech Republic allowed us to see the wonderful teamwork of the Japanese team!

There is already an Asian team that has caused a sensation. I don't know if the Chinese team, which won all three games in the group stage, will surprise us today.

Uruguay is not the United States who can only fight for the body. It is not easy for the Chinese team to pass Uruguay.

The Chinese team started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Zhang Yinuo.

Defenders: Zhao Hanchun, Liu Tao, Li Ang, Zhang Binyi.

Midfielders: Xie Pengfei, Luo Hongkai, Liu Binbin.

Forwards: Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Feng Jin.

Uruguay started 352 today.

Goalkeeper: Cavero.

Defenders: Gianni Rodriguez, Velazquez, Gaston Silva.

Midfielder: Folia, Alvarez, Varela, Pais, Moreira.

Forwards: Aguirre, Cortezzi.

The game will start soon, let us look forward to the two teams can offer a wonderful match for the audience! "

The formations adopted by different teams in the World Junior Championships are basically similar.

442 is still mainstream. It is nothing more than the difference between a large diamond and a small diamond midfield. 4231 and 433 are the most mainstream formations in European football nowadays. Van der Hill is from the Netherlands. For the country that regards 433 as a belief, he coaches the ball. It is also normal for the team to play 433 for a long time, but 352 like Uruguay is now playing is relatively rare, after all, the requirements for defenders are very high.

Even if the European giants want to play 352 well, it would be difficult to succeed without two and a half world-class defenders. At least the teams in the Champions League finals have not adopted the 352 formation against both sides in the past five years.

Perhaps Uruguay thinks that they have a good defender that can shine on the stage of the U17 age group.

After the start of the game, Tang Hong was obviously more active than usual. His activeness is reflected in more dribbling and extraordinary breakthroughs!

He seems to have no reservations, hoping to bring victory to the team on his own!

Van der Hill had a brief conversation before the game. Van der Hill told Tang Hong that he didn't know other places. Scouts from some teams in the Netherlands are already watching him in the stands!

In fact, many coaches, like players, cannot play for a club all the time. Van der Hier came from Ajax. From his apprenticeship to the coaching qualification, he had many classmates, but now these classmates absolutely must Most of them are working for different clubs in the Netherlands, some switched to scouts and some continued to be coaches.

Van der Hill's news naturally came from those former classmates, and there is no need to verify the authenticity. It is certainly not out of nothing.

Based only on the evaluation of the World Junior Championships in the group stage, there are not many players that can interest the outside world in terms of technology. Among them, the two most watched players are Sterling of England and Tang Hong of China!

And because Sterling is a Liverpool youth player, it is very difficult to pick corners, and Tang Hong will receive more attention here!

Those scouts will not rush to conclusions. This requires Tang Hong to show more brilliant performances so that they can send back the reports of the players to the club, or even directly recommend signings to the club!

The opportunity has come, and Tang Hong seems to have been waiting for a lifetime!

He used to take care of the team and create more opportunities for his teammates, but now he wants to prove his ability to those who are following him.

He can carry a team forward!

He is full of power today, as if a dragon awakened from a deep sleep!
