Chapter 216

In the 2026 World Cup, a total of 48 teams will be divided into 16 groups, with three teams in each group. The hosts are the United States and the second team is Bolivia from South America.The Chinese team continued the good fortune of the World Youth Championship and successfully avoided the world powers.

The Chinese team is even more honored to be the team in the opening game of the 2026 World Cup.

The Saints are taking their World Cup debut very seriously, as we face the hosts, the United States National Team.So he hopes that the players can challenge the opening game with the state of the World Youth Championship.

With the support of the National Football Association, the national youth team was named the national team, and they also successfully met for five warm-up matches, namely the Honduras team, Peru team, Croatia team, Norway team and Greece team. This team has also successfully qualified for the World Cup. In their group stage, there are Asian teams, so the warm-up match with the Chinese team is also a win-win situation.

The first warm-up match of the Chinese team is against the Peruvian team. We will fly to Lima, the capital of Peru, to challenge the Peruvian team away.

Then in the second warm-up match, they flew to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, to compete with the Honduras team.

Then fly back to the United States to wait for the arrival of the Croatian, Norwegian and Greek teams. These three warm-up matches will be held in the United States.



"Xiaowei, you will stay in the United States to heal your injuries. Before the World Cup comes, you must recover." Saint is in the lobby of the hotel where he is ready to lead the team to set off for training. They will return in about ten days this time. He hopes Xiao Wei Neng calmed down and recuperated.

"Yes, Master!"

"Shaohua, you stay too!"

"Yes, Head Teacher!"

"Everyone is ready to go." The saint shouted to the team.

"Captain, you must recover when we come back." Zhang Yike shook hands with the captain, and then shook hands with Coach Zeng to say goodbye.

Immediately afterwards, the teams all shook hands with the captain and coach Zeng to say goodbye.

Zheng Wei and Coach Zeng watched the Saints lead the team away gradually.

"Xiaowei, let's go back!"

"Director Zeng, do you think we can beat Peru and Honduras?" Zheng Wei asked curiously.

"We have to trust the head teacher, he always has a way to deal with difficulties." They talked while walking.

"It makes sense, Master is the best coach in the world."



The first warm-up match was held in Lima, the capital of Peru. Peru is a country that has a close relationship with China. There are many ethnic Chinese in the local area. What’s more coincident is that most of the ethnic Chinese are from Meizhou Hakka. This is because the team led by the saint is just a fellow of Meizhou.

Since winning the World Youth Championship, the Chinese National Youth Team has also become famous in one fell swoop. The local Chinese and overseas Chinese organized a warm team to greet them at the airport.

The scene of the warm-up match attracted many Chinese fans to come to see the style.

The national youth team has already hung up the title of the national team, so the opponents of all the warm-up matches are the national team.

This warm-up match was held in a friendly atmosphere between the two sides. As a result, each team scored a goal in the first half.At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team scored two dribbles in a row, and then Saints came off the bench, hoping to give these rookies a chance to practice. After the rookies came on the field, they did make a lot of mistakes in cooperating with the team, so they were connected by their opponents. Three goals overtook the Chinese team, and it was not until the last stoppage time that the Merway combination made a penalty in front of the goal.Lu Yun made a penalty, and in the end the two sides shook hands 4-4.

The second game against Honduras was held in Tegucigalpa. This was one of the two warm-up matches for the Honduras team. They warmly entertained the Chinese team.

On the day of the game, passionate Honduras fans filled the extra seats in the arena.

In this game, the Saints still focused on training newcomers, and they also replaced newcomers while leading. As a result, the game was reversed by the Honduras team 2:1.

The Saints returned to the United States with a record of 1 draw and 1 loss, and there are three warm-up games to come.This year's World Cup, many teams came to the United States in advance, and then warmed up with their opponents.

The Chinese team's opponent in the third warm-up match is Croatia.The best result of the Croatian team in the World Cup is the runner-up of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which is quite impressive.

In this game, the Chinese team replaced Zheng Wei with Zhi Tao, and the opponent also sent the strongest lineup.

Although there were not many fans in the game, the scene was still very intense. The game was full of twists and turns. The Chinese team went from equalizing to taking the lead, and then was equalized by the opponent. In the end, the Chinese team lost the game 2:3.

The fourth warm-up opponent is the Norwegian team. The players of the Norwegian team are a bit similar to the American team. Almost all of them are 1 meters to 8 meters. They rely on their height advantages, so they mainly play high and high. The purpose of our warm-up match.

The level of the Norwegian team is probably better than that of the US team. Saints took this game very seriously and changed several moves on the court.In the first half, the Chinese team led 2:1, and each scored a goal in the second half. In the final warm-up match, the Chinese team defeated the opponent 3:2.

The last warm-up match opponent is the Greek team. The Greek team once created the Greek myth in 04. This year's Greek team was praised by them as the strongest team after 04. They broke into the European Cup two years ago. Although they missed the medal in the end, it is already very remarkable to be able to enter the semi-finals from the siege of European powers.

The opening of the World Cup is getting closer and closer, and this game has attracted many fans.

Both sides showed their real strength in the warm-up match, and the first half was inextricably fought. The Chinese team temporarily ended the first half 1:2.

In the second half, the Chinese team changed their tactics, but facing the second-tier European national teams, we also saw the gap in the strength of young players. In the end, the Chinese team equalized the score in the first 5 minutes of the second half, but the Greek team scored two goals in a row.The Chinese team lost the last warm-up match 2:4.

Five warm-up matches, 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, this result is a bit worrying.

However, since the Football Association allows the National Youth Team to participate in the competition, we should be mentally prepared. As long as they do not become the three-none team in the World Cup again, history has already been created. Similarly, the Football Association has not given them a task. Our The purpose is to allow the national youth team to exercise, because we have entrusted them with the future of Chinese football. Our goal is the 2030 or even further 2034 World Cup, when they will be at their peak.

There are still more than ten days before the opening of the World Cup. Many fans from all over the world have begun to come to the United States, Canada and Mexico. What about the team's World Cup champion?Is it France or Brazil?Or is it Spain or Argentina?Or will there be a super dark horse?Everything is still a mystery?
