There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 212 Intermission
Chinese junior team goalkeeper Wang Geng took the ball out of the goal and threw it to his teammates.

At the same time, Wang Geng yelled loudly to cheer up his teammates. It was his first debut for the National Youth Team, and he didn't want to encounter "open doors" for the first time.

The players of the Mexican national team soon ended their celebration.

Players from the two teams returned to the field one after another and took their positions.

"Shut up!"

The referee Wang Dashi blew his whistle and the game continued!

China Junior Team striker Xu Mingdong passed the ball back to captain Fang Zhi.

Fang Zhi took the ball, quickly split the side, and gave it to winger Wei Yi.

Wei Yi took the ball and was about to dribble forward——

"Snapped!"

The winger Ulmez of the Mexican national team suddenly appeared from the side, stabbed a kick, and destroyed the ball out of the sideline!
At this time——

"Woo--"

The referee Wang Dashi no longer gave time, a long whistle, the first half of the game is over!
The Chinese National Junior Team is temporarily 0 to 2, behind the Mexican National Junior Team!

Players from both teams walked back to the locker room.

"In the first half of the game, the Chinese National Junior Team didn't have much possession of the ball, and the scene was a bit passive, but the sporadic counterattacks were very efficient and threatening." Huang Xiangjian concluded.

"Well, the head coach Zheng Zhi has led the team to create many 'miracles' since the Asian Minor Championship. This time the Four Nations Tournament is more of a training nature. I believe that Zheng Zhi will make personnel training in the second half. Adjustment." Shen Fangjian explained.

"Wu Lei, let's talk about your feelings. Have you paid attention to this national team's game before?" Huang Xiangjian asked.

"Uh, this... To be honest, compared with the national team, the attention of the National Youth Team is not very high. I learned from news reports that there are only two naturalized Chinese players, Chen Martin and Ao Tai. As for Other players, according to the information, play more in China B and China Champions League, not all in the Chinese Super League echelon. I think this is very good. In fact, there are not many opportunities to play in the echelon. Players of this age group are capable of wanting To improve, we must play more games!" Wu Lei said bluntly.

"Well, at this point, Wu Lei, the senior, also walked a similar path." Huang Xiangjian said with a smile.

It turns out that Wu Lei, the superstar of Chinese football, also came from the bottom of the Chinese league.

At that time, his mentor "Chinese Ferguson" Xu Baogen established a football club in Chongming Island. He selected dozens of young players from all over the country and cultivated them from a young age. Only then "retire after success" and transfer the club.

Wu Lei also achieved good results in winning the championship on the Chinese Super League stage. At the same time, he won the top scorer, best player and Chinese Footballer of the Chinese Super League before leaving the Shanggang team and studying abroad in La Liga.

"Yes. But as far as I know, compared with my time, this year's national junior team has a more grass-roots color, and the selection of players is bolder. Some players are just students. This makes me see more hope!" Wu Lei Said.

"Well, the selection of players for the national youth team is entirely decided by Zheng Zhi alone, and the coach is responsible. This change is also a change made by the Football Association in recent years. It does not interfere with the coach's coaching. The most is to help the head coach recruit from the club. When players are involved, they coordinate. The level of the league is progressive. After the promulgation of the salary limit order and the balance of payments policy, the entire league has developed healthily. It can be said that the foundation has been solidified, and the entire pyramid of Chinese football has been perfected.” Huang Xiangjian talked eloquently. road.

The three guest commentators were discussing with each other expressing their views.

In a corner of the stands, a man put down his notebook and pen, and took a photo with several passionate fans who recognized him.

"Thank you, Zou Haibin, I'm a Qilu team fan!" After the photo was taken, the female fan still said excitedly.

"Thank you for your support, thank you." Zou Haibin replied, sitting down in a low-key manner.

Zou Haibin came to Tianhe Stadium this time with a "special mission" from Qilu Football School Principal Han Gong.

three days ago.

Shandong Qilu Football School, Principal's Office.

"Boom, boom, boom..." There was a crisp knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Han Gong, are you looking for me?" Zou Haibin entered Han Gong's office and asked.

"Yes. Did you know that the Four Nations Invitational Tournament at the youth team level was recently held in Guangzhou?" Han Gong asked.

"I know." Zou Haibin replied.

"Well, so I'm going to send you to watch the next game today. The two sides are the Chinese national team and the Mexican national team! Especially the Mexican national team, pay special attention to whether there are any potential players .” Han Gong said.

"You asked me to observe the Mexican national team?!" Zou Haibin didn't understand what he meant.

"Yes, the performance of our Qilu Football School Brazil branch in Brazil is getting better and better, but you also know that our group does not want to invest too much in overseas branches. Therefore, if overseas branches want to rise to a higher level league, They can only rely on their own "blood-making" ability. The Mexican national team participating in the four-nation competition this time has strong technical and tactical capabilities, but most of the players only play in the domestic league. This is a good opportunity for us to observe them closely. Opportunity!" Han Gong said.

"So it is like this!" Zou Haibin understood.

After that, Zou Haibin took the task and came to the stands of Tianhe Stadium.

At the end of the first half, Zou Haibin has recorded in detail the performance of several core players of the Mexican National Junior Team, especially Ulmez, Alvarez, and Felchaga. These three players have been highlighted , They will be the next "main target" of Qilu Football School Brazil Branch!
At the same moment, the locker room of the Mexican national team.

The head coach of the Mexico National Junior Team was loudly giving instructions to the defensive players, obviously he was not at ease about the team's defense.

Several offensive players of the Mexican National Junior Team took advantage of this rest time, hung up their headphones, and listened to music to relax. Although they were sweating profusely, their mental state did not seem to be for the game at all. Seems more like a vacation.

The locker room of the Chinese National Junior Team was a little more tense and quieter.

Head coach Zheng Zhi and Shi Zhe were discussing tactics in a low voice.

Several starters receive relaxing massages from the team's physical therapist.

After a while, Zheng Zhi and Shi Zhe seemed to have reached a conclusion.

"Okay, everyone be quiet. Listen to Zheng Zhi's tactical arrangements for the second half." Shi Zhe said.

"Well, in the second half, we still have to show courage to fight against our opponents, but the players in the frontcourt can be recovered properly. The pressing style of the frontcourt will consume too much energy for you. I am worried that you will not be able to complete the whole game. One game! I have already seen the tactical effect. Also, at the beginning of the second half, personnel adjustments will be made, with Chen Jiexi off and Zhang Chao on!" Zheng Zhi said.

"What?!" Chen Jiexi had a look of reluctance on his face, he had a rare chance to start, so he played half of the game hastily.

Shi Zhe approached, patted Chen Jiexi on the shoulder, and comforted him: "You have fully demonstrated your own characteristics. There will be opportunities in the future. This is just a personnel adjustment required for tactics."

Chen Jiexi didn't say anything, picked up the mineral water, and took a sip.

After comforting Chen Jiexi, Shi Zhe walked up to Zhang Chao and introduced Zhang Chao's position in the second half in detail.

"Mm, um..." Zhang Chao nodded frequently, listening very seriously.

After the intermission, the second half of the game is about to begin!
