There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 251 Challenge to the European Junior Championship!

the next morning.

Ayer University Stadium, Dubai.

The Chinese National Youth Team is conducting the last training session before the first match of the World Junior Championships.

The content of this training session is different from the previous training sessions. The head coach Zheng Zhi announced the main lineup to the players before the game. The team formed a rare 361 formation:

Forward: Wei Yi (Kovapiedady);

Midfielders: Amber (Friendship Team), Chen Ting (Friendship Team), Chen Jiexi (Friendship Team), Cai Zhiyu (Jiangsu FC), Fang Zhi (Qilu Brazil Branch), Nimuti (Guangzhou Hengda);

Defenders: Chocolate (Torish), Jiang Yicai (BJ Yulin Army), Chen Martin (Guangzhou Hengda);

Goalkeeper: Li Shengrong (Guangzhou Hengda).

Hearing this lineup, many players were secretly unconvinced. They felt that their strength could be the main force, but they were ignored by the coach...

Head coach Zheng Zhi, as an "experienced person", can naturally understand the feelings of the players, and explained: "To be honest, in the game against the French national team, our strength is not superior, so our team needs to pay more attention to defense, especially the details. When playing against a strong team, a small mistake may be caught by the opponent and lose points! Therefore, our formation and style of play are conservative, but... If we can survive 80 minutes, I will send it in the last 10 minutes Offensive players counterattack!"

The head coach Zheng Zhi "confids all his thoughts" in the hope of winning the understanding of the players, so that the team can maintain a good atmosphere the day before the game.

"Okay! We understand!" Goalkeeper Liu Yiao from the Friendship Team took the lead and shouted. As a substitute player, his leadership was very effective.

"Hmm! We understand brother Zhi..."

"We obey the arrangement!"

The substitute players echoed one after another.

"Well, very good, the training session continues. Shi Zhe, you take everyone to run around. The main players announced just now will stay..." Zheng Zhi arranged happily after seeing this.

"Ah."

Shi Zhe led the substitute players to run around the field...

Zheng Zhi, on the other hand, walked towards the main players and carefully explained their "specific tasks" to each main player...

During the whole training session, the players "listen" more, and in the actual game the next day, whether the players can type out the assigned content will be a test of their tactical understanding and tactical execution. A test!

The next day, afternoon.

Soccer Stadium in Dubai Sports City, United Arab Emirates.

"Hello, everyone in front of the TV, I am your old friend Huang Xiangjian!"

"Hi everyone, I'm Shen Fangjian!"

"In the afternoon local time in the United Arab Emirates, we finally waited for the first match of the Chinese National Junior Team World Junior Championships!" Huang Xiangjian said excitedly.

"That's right. Brother Xiangjian, let me introduce our commentator for today." Shen Fangjian said.

Huang Xiangjian jokingly said: "Hey, even if I don't introduce them, everyone will not regard them as staff members... Fans and friends must know each other. Today we are honored to invite two heavyweight commentators. The one on the left is from 02 In the World Cup in [-], Fan Zhiyi, the 'Iron Guard' who represented the Chinese national team with a record of appearances; the one on the right is Wang Song, a representative of Guizhou players!"

"Hello everyone!" The two commentators greeted the fans in front of the TV.

"Well, just now we have seen the starting roster for this game. What do you two guests think? Do you think our Chinese National Youth Team can surprise the fans in the game?" Shen Fangjian asked.

"I think it's entirely possible..." Fan Zhiyi said while smiling.

"Why?" Shen Fangjian asked curiously.

"First of all, although the opponent is the French National Junior Team, the champion of the European Junior Championship. However, we have seen some reports before the game. The boys of the Chinese National Junior Team are not afraid of their opponents at all. This is based on a normal game mentality. Can play at a normal level. In addition, the mental quality of young players in the younger age group is immature and their performance is unstable. This is also an aspect." Fan Zhiyi analyzed eloquently.

"Well, Brother Yi is right." Another guest, Wang Song, was more subtle in comparison, agreeing with a few words.

"Haha, Wang Songwang's guidance is concise and to the point. I believe that with General Fan's words as a foundation, our young players will definitely be able to show their best mental outlook to face their opponents!" Shen Fangjian added with a smile.

"Okay, now players from both sides are starting to enter the field..." Following Huang Xiangjian's explanation, the players entered the field.

The starting lineup of the Chinese National Youth Team has not changed in any way from what Zheng Zhi announced to the players yesterday!
As for the French national team...

"What!?" Zheng Zhi, the head coach of the Chinese National Junior Team, was shocked when he saw the players of the French National Junior Team!
It turned out that there was a discrepancy between the lineup of the French National Junior Team and Zheng Zhi's idea: first, the high center forward de Quayle, who had been brilliant in the European Championships and scored 6 goals, was not on the team, and was replaced by an unknown The short striker will Pivam; then, the midfielder Dira Moji, who represented AC Milan in the European war last season, did not play, and was replaced by a player from the French domestic Auxerre youth training—Pe Elman.

Although there are only two changes, the player styles are completely different, and the targeted arrangements deployed by Zheng Zhi's guidance will also be impacted!
"At first glance, if I didn't know in advance that it was the French National Junior Team, I would have thought it was some African team." Huang Xiangjian started the "ridiculous mode" again.

"Indeed, the French National Junior Team incorporates a lot of black players. In the starting lineup, only captain Pramogarty, central defender Buetta, and midfielder Perman are white. The rest of the players can be seen from their skin color. He is of African descent." Shen Fangjian explained seriously.

After the players of the two teams walked into the stadium, they first played the national anthems of the two countries respectively, then the players shook hands, and the captain chose sides...

"The captain of the Chinese National Youth Team has not changed. It is still Fang Zhi from the Qilu Club. Although he is currently on loan to the Qilu Club's Brazil branch, his actual relationship still belongs to the Qilu Club. After a few months of short stay abroad, Fang Zhi This is what the fans are looking forward to seeing in this game!" Huang Xiangjian explained excitedly.

"Well, yes! The captain of the French national team is Pramogarti. This player is currently playing for the Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach. The pursuit of many clubs." Shen Fangjian explained.

After the side selection was over, the captains of the two teams shook hands in a friendly manner. In the first half, the Chinese national team kicked off first and attacked from right to left.

The captains of the two teams gradually walked back to their respective teams, and then the players of the two teams dispersed one after another, walked to their respective positions and stood up, jumping in place, doing preparatory activities...

The referee is a "tender whistle" from New Zealand in Oceania. He is checking the time...

"Shut up!"

As the referee waved down with one hand, the game began!
The Chinese National Junior Team is about to start a challenge to the French National Junior Team...
