There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 263 There is no way out, we must win the second group match!
The next day, in the morning.

Ayer University football stadium, Dubai, UAE.

The Chinese National Youth Team is conducting physical recovery training sessions.

"Report the number!" Assistant teacher Shi Zhe shouted.

"One, two, three, four..." The players stood in a row and reported one by one.

Originally, the Chinese national youth team planned to take a day off for the whole team to allow the players to recover their physical fitness by themselves.However, in the first round of the group stage, the Chinese National Junior Team lost to the French National Junior Team by a large margin, and the Colombian National Junior Team defeated the Niger National Junior Team by a large margin.
Earlier in the morning, the leaders of the Football Association had a phone call with Zheng Zhi, the head coach of the national youth team. They first affirmed the performance of the national youth team and praised Zheng Zhi's work. The goal of the less competition-group qualifying!
Zheng Zhi is under a lot of pressure. Even if the Football Association does not have a clear goal, he still hopes to lead the national team to achieve good results. Only in this way can the fans see hope and encourage more children to play football!
At the same time, he also knew very well that according to the current situation, the second game of the group stage will be the key to qualifying. If he wins the Colombian national team, his chances of qualifying will be greatly increased; if he loses the game, he will be eliminated early out!

Therefore, even knowing that the players are very tired and risking overwork and injury, Zheng Zhi also arranged this training session "temporarily", hoping that the players will pay attention to the World Junior Championships from the heart and not relax their mentality.

However, for the Chinese national youth team, it is not completely unfavorable. There is a player in the Chinese national youth team who has a lot of connection with Colombian football. He can provide effective help for the Chinese national youth team in terms of intelligence. This person is the team The main defender Chen Martin!

Chen Martin, under the age of 17, was born in Medellin, the second largest city in Colombia. His father was a Chinese worker who went to Colombia to do exploration work, and his mother was a local resident of Colombia.

Chen Martin showed a certain football talent when he was 8 years old. He entered the youth training camp of the Colombian National Athletic Club to study football, specializing in the defender position.Perhaps because of his different genes of mixed blood, Chen Martin not only showed the innate flexibility of South Americans in the youth training camp, often making amazing barb clearances, but also showed the executive power of Asians. On the defensive line, he pays great attention to echoing and cooperating with his teammates.Therefore, the National Athletic Club is very optimistic about Chen Martin's future.

However, due to the establishment of the Chinese National Youth Team this year and preparations for the Olympic year, the Football Association attaches great importance to it. Mr. Gao Hongbo, the vice chairman of the Football Association, personally set up a "player observation group" and called back two Chinese players from overseas—— It's Martin Chen and Ao Tai.

Although Chen Martin has lived in Colombia since he was a child, and he has never even left the city of Medellin, but he has heard his father tell the story of his motherland since he was a child. Naturally, Chen Martin is very yearning. When called, he resolutely chose the Chinese National Junior Team!

In Colombia at that time, Chen Martin suffered a lot of scolding!
But Chen Martin didn't take it seriously. This time against the Colombian national team, he wanted to prove his strength and prove that his choice was correct, so he has volunteered to head coach Zheng Zhi!

In the next match of the Chinese National Junior Team, the Colombian National Junior Team has 7 players from Chen Martin's home team, the National Athletic Club, including Chen Martin's friends Draco, Campa, Sandillo, Chen Martin I couldn't be more familiar with this team.

According to the information provided by Chen Martin, the Colombian National Junior Team is used to the 433 formation, and the offense is coordinated and fast, especially the two sides. The personal ability is very strong. If the full backs are too high, it will give the Colombian National Junior Team a great play. space.

Director Zheng Zhi was not in a hurry to practice the tactics against the Colombian national team. He put on a vest that measured heart rate and other data, and personally led the players to jog to restore their physical fitness.

Assistant Shi Zhe was on the field, observing everyone's jogging situation...

After less than a lap, Shi Zhe called Fang Zhi, Chen Ting, and Chen Jiexi off the field.

It turned out that according to the data, the physical fitness values ​​​​of these three players are low, and it is not suitable for jogging anymore, and they need to stretch and rest.

After a while, Amber took the initiative to leave.

After examination by the team doctor, Amber's knee was slightly edema due to fatigue, and it is recommended to rest for a week.

"What?" Amber asked in surprise.

In a week's time, Amber will have to miss the game with the Colombian national team!
The director Zheng Zhi on the side looked stern, thinking: "I didn't expect that everyone's physical exertion would be so serious in the battle with the French national team. It seems that I have to make appropriate adjustments to the main lineup..."

In the next few days, Chen Ting and Chen Jiexi recovered very well, while the team leader Fang Zhi, like Amber, also had the problem of water in his knees and needed time to recuperate.

After discussing with his assistant Shi Zhe, Zheng Zhi once again trusted his direct descendant "Hengda Gang" players, and left the position of left winger to Wei Yi.

As for the goalkeeper position, although Li Shengrong from Hengda Football School played well in the first game of the group stage, Liu Yiao was in better condition during training, and made many "divine pounces", which made Zheng Zhi and Shi Zhe couldn't help It's amazing.Therefore, Zheng Zhi decided to give Liu Yiao a chance to shine in the crucial match against the Colombian National Junior Team!

The preparations for the Chinese National Youth Team have basically been completed!

In the second round of the group match, the Colombian National Junior Team, after beating their opponents the Niger National Junior Team in the first group match, only took a day off for the whole team, and then continued to devote themselves to preparing for the game.It can be seen that the Colombian National Junior Team has a clear goal in this World Junior Championship.

In addition, the head coach of the Colombian National Youth Team is an unknown national coach, but his brother is well known to Chinese fans. It is the meritorious foreign aid of the Shanghai Shenhua Team, Giovanni Moreno!
"Junior Moreno" was not as dazzling as his brother in his player career. Not to mention he had never been out of Colombia, and he had even been in Colombia's second-tier league for a long time. He "retired sadly" when he was 28 years old and still in his golden age.

But his elder brother, Giovanni Moreno, loves his younger brother very much. After learning that his younger brother plans to become a coach, he funded his younger brother to study, and even "matched" his younger brother's coaching.

In this way, "Little Moreno" began to coach from the Nacho FC club in the third tier league. The Colombian Football Association hired as the head coach of the National Junior Team, hoping that under his leadership, the Colombian National Junior Team can make a breakthrough in the World Junior Championships!

The training style of "Little Moreno" is almost the same as that of most South American coaches. He pays great attention to the training sessions and likes to arrange a lot of actual combat drills and group confrontations in the training sessions, which is conducive to quickly mobilizing the players' status.

Therefore, for several days in a row, the Colombian national junior team practiced a lot with the ball, and the state of the players was mobilized to the maximum. However, the technical and tactical aspects did not change much compared to the first round of the group stage.

After all, is it still feasible for the Colombian national team to "respond to all changes with the same"?
Can the Chinese national junior team "know yourself and know the enemy" take the lead?

The second group match is about to begin...
