Chapter 245 Is Germany Strong?

The Chinese Youth Team won both games in the first two rounds and ranked first in the group after two rounds. Ukraine and Turkey follow closely behind. Even if they lose to Panama in the last round, the Chinese Youth Team can still get a qualifying spot, but the first and second teams in the group will encounter different opponents.

What excites Chinese fans is that the Chinese Youth Team is actually the first team to advance to the top 16.

After the second round of the group stage, Dong Fangzhuo was elected the best player in the second round of the group stage. Even Messi, who helped Argentina win Egypt, was robbed of his limelight.

The betting company also updated the odds for Dong Fangzhuo to win the top scorer. Dong Fangzhuo, who scored five goals per pound, has moved into second place with an odds of 1 to 3. Messi is ranked first, with an odds of 2 to 1. , another Argentine striker Aguero ranked third, with an odds of 3.5 to 1. Messi did not score as many goals as Dong Fangzhuo, but Messi is in Argentina, while Dong Fangzhuo is in China. The two people are in different countries, and the country as a whole The stronger you are, the further you can go and the greater the probability of getting the top scorer.

Dong Fangzhuo accepted an interview with the domestic "Sports Weekly". The reporter asked him: "Do you want to be the top scorer?"

"As a forward, I would be kidding myself if I said I don't want to be the top scorer. Of course I want to be the top scorer."

Dong Fangzhuo bluntly returned to the question, but he added: "However, if you choose between national honors and personal awards, naturally the country will go as far as possible, and personal awards will become secondary. Of course, I hope it’s both.”

Then, he also said a lot of good things for his teammates: "My teammates performed very well, no worse than players from other countries. Look at Mao Jianqing, the opponent can't guard him at all. Chen Tao's passing is full of spirituality, and Hao Junmin is so good." Like veterans, Zhao Xuri and Huang Bowen proved to the world that they are fully capable of becoming the best defensive midfielders. Central defender Feng Xiaoting can fully establish himself in the five major leagues. His perfect performance as a central defender is the biggest contributor to our two consecutive victories... …”

Accidentally, he began to promote his teammates and showered them with all the praise.

They deserve such praise. How many years later, when Chinese football is unable to extricate itself from the pain again and again, fans look back at this World Youth Championship and lament their strength. History will tell everyone that this How promising they were at that time.

However, it can no longer be the same as before...

He believes that many scouts have seen the performance of the Chinese Youth Team in the stands. This is a good stage for performance. After two rounds of games, the teammates of the Chinese Youth Team have had enough opportunities to perform. As the competition continues, everyone's performance will get better and better. Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting, etc. will definitely receive more and more attention.

The only problem is,

After these people return to China, will their clubs let them go? In their previous lives, because of the many barriers and difficulties set up in China, as well as various other reasons, not many people were able to successfully study abroad, and studying abroad was basically difficult. Ended with failure.

The result is tragic, but if you experience it again, will anything change?

Recently, Dong Fangzhuo often chats with everyone in his free time, telling them about his life at Manchester United, what it feels like to play in a wealthy club, his mood when playing in the Champions League with Milan, and the joy of interacting with Kaká... He is impressed by his teammates and hopes that they will Being able to choose a more ideal path when you first start your career.

Of course, in the end, you can only rely on yourself.

In the following third round of the group stage, Krauchen also gave everyone in the Chinese Youth Team a chance. Basically, the players in the first two rounds sat on the bench.

Krauchen made more bold rotations, and all players participating in the World Youth Championship got the chance to play.

Krauchen's courage and courage are so great that there are no words to describe them.

The Chinese Youth Team, which has already secured a place in the group, faced off against Panama, which had lost both games before. The players were full of confidence, and the Chinese storm reappeared on the field. With a goal each from Zhou Haibin, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Zhu Ting, China The team defeated Panama 4-1.

As a result, Ukraine won 3 games and ranked first in the group and advanced to the top 16. In another game, Ukraine drew 2-2 with Turkey and advanced to the second place in the group.

The National Youth Team's goals are also in full bloom, and they are not limited to forward players.

Accidentally, the China Youth Team became the team with the second most goals in the group stage and ranked second in attack power, second only to the crazy Argentina.

Although Dong Fangzhuo did not play for even one minute, the top scorer position still belongs to him, and no one has taken it away.

However, when the third round of the group stage ended, the Chinese Youth Team was in tragedy. At least in the eyes of most people, the Chinese Youth Team's road to the World Youth Championship came to an end.

Because their opponent in the quarter-finals was actually Germany.

The German team, which had been stumbling in the group stage, actually became third in the group. It was "very happy" to meet the Chinese youth team. This was thanks to Messi and Argentina...

Originally, after the Chinese youth team appeared in the group stage, many people had high hopes. They saw the hope of the quarterfinals or even the semifinals, especially the hope of entering the quarterfinals again since the 1985 World Youth Championship. But when they meet Germany?

cold……

"I thought that after Germany emerged third in the group, they would encounter a strong team, but I didn't expect that they would encounter China. They are sure to enter the quarterfinals." Germany's "Bild" did not take the Chinese youth team seriously at all. Although the media from other countries have exaggerated the Chinese youth team, they still objectively believe that although this Chinese youth team is somewhat dangerous, the German team still drew a good draw.

"As long as you look at Dong Fangzhuo of Manchester United, the Chinese team will fall apart." According to "Bild", except Dong Fangzhuo, no one else needs to be afraid.

What makes people even more depressing is that the Japanese team, which also ranked third in the group, only scored 2 points in the group stage. Their opponent was actually the relatively weak Morocco. It turns out that being first in the group is of no use. , not to mention the first time for the Chinese Youth Team?

In the process of preparing for the German team, the atmosphere in the Chinese youth team was very depressing, and everyone felt the huge pressure again.

"Germany is too strong, we can't play it this time."

"The less you lose, the less you win."

During team training, teammates were agitated. It seems that when you hear the name Germany, it means the word 'powerful'.

"Is Germany strong? We are much stronger than them." Only Dong Fangzhuo remained optimistic.

"A team that is third in the group, I don't know what you are afraid of. Do they have strength written on their foreheads? Otherwise, why would you worry about these things? What we have to do is not send the Germans home?"

"We have better players at every position than them, and believe me, the victory belongs to us."
